Remote magical attacks? Is this attack speed like a machine gun?
At this moment, Ye Yun finally realized that the hills were actually hordes of monsters surging forth. From a distance, they looked like a single giant monster.
One was only about the size of an arm, resembling a lizard, except that this group of monsters walked on their hind legs, looking bizarre no matter how you saw it.
Ye Yun quickly added 500 points of magic defense. He saw a string of numbers floating above Little Black:
-198
-5670
"System prompt: Killed a Corpse Lizard Demon (creature), gained 720 experience points."
...
Damn it, these monsters are too cunning, launching both physical and magical attacks simultaneously. After another exchange, Ye Yun found that Little Black's health was rapidly draining again. Although not as exaggerated as before, the amount of health lost each time was nearly double!
Ye Yun tremblingly quickly added 500 points of physical defense and 2000 points of health to himself. He was fortunate that he hadn't gotten too overconfident and had spent three hundred million to get in.
With Ye Yun's three thousand attribute bonuses, the attacks from these monsters couldn't even break through Little Black's defenses, leaving only a series of misses and a small amount of mandatory damage. Little Black's health shot up to a staggering forty-six thousand five hundred! This mandatory damage was almost negligible.
However, even so, Ye Yun dared not let his guard down. Who knew what kind of monsters the remaining four dirt mounds hid? Even if each dirt mound combined only dealt a few hundred damage per attack, that would still be over a thousand!
As expected, no matter when it is, dungeon-crawling requires area-of-effect skills!

Magic Defense: 300
Agility: 6 (Average Speed)

Notes: Corpse Lizard Demons are relics left by the demon race that once conquered the divine city, and are low-level demonic beasts raised by them. Although weak, they excel in numbers and have diverse attacks.
A level 16 Blue General monster, this strength would simply despair a group of ordinary players in their twenties or thirties!
Knowing the monster's stats, Ye Yun felt a little relieved. With this data, he could determine the tactical approach.
It's just that the sheer number of them was overwhelming.
This time was different from the last. So many monsters appeared at once, and all of them were actively attacking, making the difficulty thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater.
Little Black was already deeply surrounded, and the monsters on the periphery were magic-attacking ranged units, intermittently launching yellow light orbs at Little Black.
"Brother Black, I'm sorry, but you have to hold on. I'll see you again in five minutes." Ye Yun cast a healing spell on Little Black, then bypassed the group of monsters attacking Little Black and began to run further away, occasionally throwing a basic attack to instantly kill some Corpse Lizard Demons!
There was no other choice. There were four more groups of unknown monsters behind. If he were surrounded by them, he would likely have nothing but death.
Soon, Ye Yun appeared two hundred meters ahead of Little Black. Two hundred meters was the maximum control distance for Little Black; beyond this distance, Little Black would teleport to his feet.
At this point, the four hills transformed into monsters and pounced on Little Black. Having a pet had its benefits, as it could fully draw the aggro of surrounding enemies for its master.
Would so many wild monsters overwhelm Little Black and crush it to death!
Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that Little Black's defense was not breached. He then walked forward a few dozen meters, found a relatively clean spot, and sat down, attacking sporadically.
"System prompt: Killed Earth Lizard Demon (creature), gained 830 experience points."
"System prompt: Killed Stone Lizard Demon (creature), gained 1060 experience points."
"Damn, they're all lizard-type demonic beasts? No wonder they look so similar!"
Although the four monsters were of the same species, their levels were different.
When facing a group of monsters that couldn't break through his defenses, in addition to attack power, health was also crucial. Just like now, with Little Black's forty-six thousand five hundred health, even if it took over a thousand damage per round, it could last for over forty rounds. In that time, he could kill nearly a hundred of them!
As soon as Little Black was close to collapsing, he would run another two hundred meters away, and then Little Black would be out of danger. At that point, kiting with Little Black should allow its health to recover considerably. Coupled with his healing spells, it should be faster, right?
His defense was sufficient, and with the enhancement of his Emperor-level talent, his attack power was also adequate. Ye Yun gritted his teeth and added all the remaining attribute points to his health, causing the Black Ant, which had just over twenty thousand health, to gain another twenty thousand.
Sixty-seven thousand health, plus his healing spells, meant he could counter-kill about 130 of them. To be safe, he would have to relocate his position about once a minute!
At this moment, Ye Yun had truly perfected the art of being stealthy and evasive! He would absolutely not bear damage himself if he could avoid it.
Don't talk to me about being a man or not; if you gave me a top-tier gaming pod, I could do that too.
The pain from the ring was 100%! The pain itself was minor; it was the impact on his mission that was significant, as mission opportunities were only once. If he failed, this mission would disappear forever.
The Black Ant's health quickly dropped to five thousand. Ye Yun seized the opportunity and hurried away.
The lizards that had been furiously spitting at the Black Ant suddenly realized, at a certain moment, that the guy they and their kin had been relentlessly targeting had suddenly disappeared? This left them with a mouthful of saliva stuck in their throats, making them extremely uncomfortable.
The demon beast horde, having lost the Black Ant, was momentarily stunned. They shambled forward aimlessly on their hind legs, dragging their strangely short tails, scattering in all directions like headless flies. They quickly spotted Ye Yun two hundred meters away, or more precisely, the Black Ant at Ye Yun's feet. Immediately, they let out roars and charged towards Ye Yun.
These demon beasts seemed affected by the recent commotion. They showed no semblance of a monster's aggro range; as soon as they discovered Ye Yun, regardless of whether he was a hundred or two hundred meters away, they charged.
With Little Black out of combat, its health, which was over sixty thousand, was rapidly regenerating at a rate of 1% per second. It would take a full 100 seconds to recover to full health.
There was no choice but for Ye Yun to fight and retreat with Little Black. Otherwise, if they were surrounded, he wouldn't be able to escape. In this situation, positioning and fancy maneuvers were useless.
Ye Yun genuinely regretted it. He hadn't expected this mission to be so brutal, and the monsters were not without their cunning.
If he had known, he would have bought more attribute points and directly stacked his health to tens of thousands. Wouldn't that have been better!
As for finding the boss behind them, that was even more out of the question. Not only were these demon beasts stubbornly pursuing him, preventing him from concentrating, but the area was simply too vast, and he had no idea where to even begin.
