Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 270: The Heaven's Favored Mu Xianxian

The monster was a massive python, about 10 meters long and half a meter wide, with immense strength. It coiled tightly around the Skeletal Warrior, immobilizing it. Despite its grip, the python couldn't inflict significant damage, merely restraining the skeleton. An ordinary person would have suffocated, but the skeleton didn’t need to breathe, so it remained unaffected.

Lin Moyu rushed over and used the Detection spell.

[Eartheart Python (enhanced elite monster)]

[Level: 54]

[Strength: 40,000]

[Agility: 40,000]

[Spirit: 30,000]

[Physique: 50,000]

[Skills: Death Coil, Devour]

Seeing the monster’s attributes, Lin Moyu felt a slight relief. Its level indicated the dungeon ranged between level 53 and level 55, while its rank indicated that the dungeon’s difficulty was nightmare rank.

As long as the monsters were below level 60, Lin Moyu wasn’t concerned. Whether the difficulty was nightmare or hell rank, he could manage. As long as the boss wasn’t excessively powerful, he could wear it down.

"It's your turn." Lin Moyu said to Mu Xianxian.

Mu Xianxian nodded and ran forward. When she was about 10 meters away from the Eartheart Python, she unleashed her skill.

Skill: Collection.

Fireworks exploded above the python's head, scattering countless specks of light across its body. The monster, now shimmering with mottled spots of light, was immediately drawn to Mu Xianxian and charged toward her. This skill was excellent for generating aggro.

The Skeletal Warriors, ready and waiting, surrounded the creature and unleashed their skill. At the same time, Lin Moyu cast his own skill.

Skill: Damage Curse!

With their damage multiplied tenfold, the Skeletal Warriors sliced through the level 54 nightmare dungeon monster with ease. The Eartheart Python let out a miserable cry and was instantly torn apart.

[Killed level 54 Eartheart Python, EXP +1,080,000]

[Obtained Earth Shard]

[Obtained Earth Shard through Collection]

[Earth Shard: 1,000 Earth Shards can be combined into a complete Heart of the Earth]

Seeing the notifications, Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a hint of joy. He had invited Mu Xianxian to join him in the dungeon on a whim, and it turned out to be a great decision. Although the EXP was halved, but the rewards were doubled. If each monster dropped an Earth Shard, then with Mu Xianxian's help, he would only need to kill 500 monsters instead of 1,000 to form a complete Heart of the Earth.

"I remember you have the Group Collection skill. How large is its range? How many targets can you affect at one time?" Lin Moyu asked.

Mu Xianxian replied, "I can control an area up to a thousand meters in radius and affect up to 200 targets."

Lin Moyu had previously seen her use Group Collection on only eight Battlefield Wolves, so he assumed it was limited to eight targets. Now he realized she had been cautious, avoiding drawing too many enemies at once.

Lin Moyu quickly formulated a plan, "I'll gather the monsters together, and then you'll use your Group Collection skill. Don't worry; you won’t be in any danger. Okay?"

Mu Xianxian nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

Lin Moyu ordered the Skeletal Warriors to scatter and draw out monsters hidden in different corners.

Pythons and rats burst from the ponds, boiling water splashing everywhere. Giant centipedes emerged from rock crevices. Soon, the entire canyon teemed with monsters.

[Eartheart Python]

[Eartheart Diamond Rat]

[Eartheart Iron Centipede]

…

The monsters were numerous and varied in type, but they all shared a common characteristic: a strong earth element. Their bodies were covered in earthy-yellow hues, and they exuded a distinct smell of sulfur.

Mu Xianxian paled at the sight of so many monsters and couldn’t help but exclaim, “There are so many monsters!”

She had never seen so many monsters before. Normally, she tackled dungeons step by step, mostly using her Collection skill, rarely using Group Collection. She wasn’t sure what Lin Moyu was trying to do.

The skeletons quickly gathered the monsters together, totaling just under 100.

“Go ahead.” Lin Moyu said, pointing.

Skill: Slow Curse!

A red light spread, and the monsters slowed down instantly.

Mu Xianxian obediently ran over, and from a distance of a dozen meters, unleashed a large burst of fireworks. The fireworks exploded with a bang, dazzlingly beautiful, like stars falling from the sky.

Lin Moyu commented, "This skill is excellent for setting off fireworks."

Blushing, Mu Xianxian replied, “Sister Yeyu and the others often ask me to use it as fireworks at night.”

…

Lin Moyu smiled, amused at the thought. But on second thought, it was indeed quite beautiful.

The starlight fell on the monsters and turned into mottled spots of light.

As all the monsters turned their eyes toward Mu Xianxian, glowing red with anger. Mu Xianxian was startled and quickly ran back. Despite being level 59, she couldn’t withstand such a powerful onslaught. She could be killed instantly.

The monsters charged toward her, terrifying her to the point where she turned as white as a sheet and trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Moyu found it amusing. How could she be so timid? No wonder she was always so easily startled. With a slight smirk, he summoned another undead legion.

The Lich Generals used their status buffs, and white light surged. Simultaneously, the 260 Skeletal Mages, now boosted, unleashed concentrated firepower against the monsters.

Without the status buffs, the spirit attribute of the level 33 Skeletal Mages was 98,000, but with the status buffs, it soared to nearly 130,000. Although their skills remained the same, but their power had increased significantly compared to when they were level 30.

The 260 Skeletal Mages focused their attacks on a single monster, killing it instantly—even without the Damage Curse.

When the first monster fell, Lin Moyu switched from Slow Curse to Damage Curse.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Explosions echoed through the Eartheart World. Mu Xianxian, terrified, covered her ears, nearly falling. Her courage… was truly pitiful, leaving Lin Moyu wondering how she had reached level 59.

Lin Moyu cast Corpse Explosion repeatedly. The explosions continued for several minutes before finally fading away.

A barrage of notifications popped up, and his storage space filled with 188 Earth Shards. Each monster had yielded two shards.

Lin Moyu glanced at Mu Xianxian with a shade of praise. No wonder Collection Master was such a popular class. Even if it meant sacrificing a damage dealer, parties would still bring a Collection Master for the doubled rewards. Who wouldn't want that?

"No wonder..." Lin Moyu murmured. If it were him, he’d also want to team up with such a Collection Master.

Mu Xianxian finally lowered her hands and asked softly, "Is it over?"

Lin Moyu replied, “This is just the first wave. There are more to come."

Mu Xianxian made an oh sound and said, "Alright."

The two continued deeper into the canyon, with the Skeletal Warriors already moving ahead to draw more monsters.

Curious, Lin Moyu asked, “How did you reach level 59?”

Mu Xianxian answered truthfully, “Sister Yeyu and the others helped me level up. I usually don’t fight monsters; I just follow the party and use the Collection skill.”

Lin Moyu found it even more strange, “But I've noticed your combat sense isn’t half bad. In the core area, you knew how many monsters you could handle.”

Mu Xianxian whispered, “That’s because of my talent.”

Lin Moyu was surprised to learn she had a talent. A talent, plus an extremely rare legendary class—it seemed heaven truly favored her.

“What is your talent?” Lin Moyu asked.

Mu Xianxian trusted Lin Moyu and didn’t hesitate to share, “It’s called Combat Instinct. I know how many monsters I can handle, how many I should fight, and I can naturally master combat skills without needing to learn or train.”

…

Lin Moyu was speechless. This talent would be perfect for a combat-oriented class. However, for Mu Xianxian, a timid Collection Master…

Looking at the maul on her shoulder, Lin Moyu thought, "Well, it’s not bad."

All things considered, she was a half-combat class user, comparable to an ordinary Warrior, with rather high attributes.
