Chapter 534: Attributes Higher Than the Boss, Finding the Source
Without Yi Ning needing to make a move, the undead legion had already launched their attack.
The undead army surged towards the enemy in a mighty torrent. 36 lich generals, each commanding 1080 skeleton soldiers, a total of 38880 skeletons, moved out simultaneously, forming an unstoppable flood.
Jiang Chen didn't care about the restriction of not being able to fly in the dungeon. He unleashed the Lightning Undead Wings, granting the entire undead legion the ability to fly.
The skeletons flew past like a dark cloud, completely ignoring the light emanating from the Holy Light Swamp. Due to the sheer number of skeletons, the Holy Light Swamp could not concentrate its firepower on any single skeleton, resulting in a scattered attack and greatly reduced effectiveness.
The shrubs in the instance began a frenzied counterattack, their branches lashing out from the swamp, glowing white, and striking at the skeleton.
But the skeletons were not to be outdone; the skeleton berserkers swung their axes, sending broken branches flying everywhere.
Meanwhile, the elemental explosions unleashed by the skeleton archmages continued to detonate across the battlefield, blasting everything in their path to pieces. While the power of the elemental explosions wasn't enough to shake off high-level monsters, it was more than sufficient to deal with these dungeon monsters of the same level.
Yi Ning was dumbfounded; she had never witnessed such an unreasonable fighting style before. Jiang Chen completely ignored the rules of the dungeon, simply using his overwhelming strength to sweep through it.
"This kind of fighting style is truly unprecedented," Yi Ning exclaimed.
As she watched the experience points popping up on the screen, a feeling of envy welled up inside her.
If Jiang Chen could take her through dungeons, her leveling speed would definitely skyrocket. But Yi Ning quickly dismissed the idea. She told herself that as an ambitious professional, she couldn't rely on others to improve her strength.
"I am Yi Ning, and I will become a god-level powerhouse," she silently vowed in her heart.
Jiang Chen was unaware of Yi Ning's thoughts. He looked curiously at the swamp in front of him. "Why is this swamp attacking us? Is there some kind of monster hiding beneath it?"
He and Yi Ning walked to the edge of the swamp, looking at the swamp covered by white light, their hearts filled with doubt.
"We need to go down and take a look," Jiang Chen said.
He summoned his undead army to continue deeper into the dungeon, while preparing to explore this mysterious swamp.
"Let me go down and investigate first." Jiang Chen commanded a skeleton berserker to jump into the swamp.
The surface of the swamp appeared soft, layered like cotton. As soon as the skeleton berserker entered, he felt an inexplicable force pulling him down. This force was completely different from the swamp's viscous texture; it felt more like some mysterious force drawing him in.
As the Skeleton Berserker ventured deeper, Jiang Chen sensed something unusual at the bottom of the swamp. There, a dazzling light emanated, the very source of the swamp's radiance.
"Found it!" A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he ordered the Skeleton Berserker to pick up the ball of light.
When the ball of light was grasped by the skeleton berserker, the light in the entire swamp vanished instantly, revealing a pit about six or seven meters in diameter and ten meters deep.
Yi Ning stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the suddenly appearing deep pit, and exclaimed in surprise, "So the light of this swamp is coming from here."
Jiang Chen nodded, a slight smile on his face. "It seems there's something else down there. Let's go down and take a look."
Yi Ning hesitated for a moment, but seeing Jiang Chen jump into the pit first, she could only follow suit. Anyway, the undead legion was taking care of the monsters in the dungeon; they only needed to focus on the situation at hand.
Reaching the bottom of the pit, Jiang Chen took the ball of light from the skeleton berserker. He gently cast a detection spell, and immediately a flood of information entered his mind.
"The feather of the God of Light: A feather that fell from the wings of the God of Light, containing pure power of light." Jiang Chen read out the detection results softly.
Yi Ning stared in astonishment at the ball of light in her hand. "This is actually a feather of the God of Light? Does the God of Light really have wings?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, recalling the solemn angel statue in the Light Element dungeon. "Perhaps. The God of Light is often associated with angels in legends, and angels naturally have wings."
Yi Ning did not press further. She knew that the God of Light was just a distant legend, and Jiang Chen might not have even seen his true face.
Then, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to where the feather had been. There, a hole the size of a fist had appeared; it had been revealed after the feather was removed. Yi Ning asked curiously, "What's this hole? Where does it lead?"
Jiang Chen observed carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This hole seems to lead to somewhere, but the entrance is too small for us to enter."
He tried to explore the inside of the cave using his detection techniques, but to no avail. In the end, Jiang Chen decided to stop dwelling on the cave and instead continue exploring this mysterious swamp.
Jiang Chen handed the feathers of the God of Light that he had collected to Yi Ning and smiled, "Try them and see if these feathers can help your summoned beasts."
Yi Ning's main purpose for this trip was to find the Holy Light Swamp where the BOSS in the dungeon is located, which is the area with the most concentrated holy light.
But since the feather of the God of Light is the core of the Holy Light Swamp, she guessed it might be helpful to her summoned beasts.
Yi Ning did not refuse, took the feather, and gently placed it on the head of the Holy Spirit Unicorn. The moment the feather touched the unicorn, it emitted a dazzling light, and then gradually merged into the unicorn's body.
Yi Ning's face lit up with joy. "It really worked. Although the effect wasn't particularly significant, I could feel that Xiao Bai's power had increased."
"So its name is Xiaobai." Jiang Chen smiled and patted the Holy Spirit Unicorn's head. Xiaobai obediently lowered its head, clearly not unfamiliar with Jiang Chen.
"Since it's working, let's continue," Jiang Chen instructed.
At his command, a group of skeleton soldiers leaped into the swamp to search for and retrieve more feathers of the God of Light. As each feather was brought back, the once shimmering swamp gradually returned to calm, and the entire instance's environment changed accordingly.
Yi Ning gazed at all of this and asked in a low voice, "If we take all the feathers of the God of Light from this area, will this instance disappear?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "That depends on the source of these feathers. Do you remember the hole we found? I feel that hole connects to the true core of this instance."
"As long as that core is still there, this instance should continue to exist," Jiang Chen explained.
Although Yi Ning did not have Jiang Chen's keen perception, she believed Jiang Chen's words without a doubt.
As more and more feathers of the God of Light were brought back, Yi Ning placed them one by one on the Holy Spirit Unicorn, allowing it to absorb them. Little White's aura gradually grew stronger, and the light emanating from its body became increasingly dazzling.
Yi Ning observed all this and explained to Jiang Chen, "Besides improving our own strength, we summoners can also enhance our combat power by strengthening our summoned beasts. When the power of a summoned beast reaches a certain level, its attributes will in turn nourish us summoners, making us even stronger." "That's why my attributes are considered relatively outstanding among professionals of the same level," Yi Ning added.
“But not all summoners have this ability; it’s related to our bloodline and the type of summoned beast,” Yi Ning continued. “Like the Ren family’s Golden Roc summoned beast, it doesn’t have this ability.”
Jiang Chen nodded, indicating his understanding, "This ability is indeed enviable."
Yi Ning asked curiously, "Don't your summoned beasts have this ability?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No."
Yi Ning had always known that Jiang Chen was exceptionally strong, but she thought that in terms of attributes, she might be able to rival him. After all, her outstanding attributes were what she was most proud of.
With a hint of challenge and curiosity, Yi Ning asked, "Jiang Chen, what are your current stats? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Chen didn't seem to care about her comparison, and simply replied, "Sure, which attribute are you asking about?"
Yi Ning answered without hesitation: "All attributes."
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then casually said, "In terms of all attributes, it's a little over 56 now."
Upon hearing this number, Yi Ning was as if struck by lightning, almost screaming out loud. Her eyes widened like saucers. "You... what did you say? A little over 56?"
Jiang Chen nodded and confirmed again, "Yes, 563210. Is there anything wrong with this number?"
Yi Ning felt a wave of helplessness wash over her, as if all her confidence had crumbled at that moment. She stomped her foot hard and said in annoyance, "I really shouldn't have asked that question; it was completely pointless."
She sighed and continued, "You're a monster. I've heard that even world bosses of the same level don't have as many stats as you."
Jiang Chen smiled and did not deny it, "That's true."
The two continued their journey, and before they knew it, they had reached the depths of the dungeon. Before them lay a vast swamp, over a hundred meters in diameter, its light dazzling and radiant. Beams of light, like sharp swords, pierced the sky, illuminating the entire expanse.
Jiang Chen pointed to the swamp and said to Yi Ning, "This is the source of light we've been looking for."
