[Beep, you entered the purgatory-level map, Black Ant Nest!]
[Dungeon clearance condition: defeat the Black Ant Queen.]
[Side quest: Kill Black Ants (0/20), kill Black Workers (0/20), kill Black Soldiers
(0/10), kill Black Thorn Ants (0/5), kill Black Ant Queen (0/1).]
With Jiang He by his side, Mo Xiao once again entered the Black Ant Nest.
Compared to the last time, Mo Xiao was more familiar with the surroundings. He led Jiang He directly into the Black Ant Nest.
“Skeleton Lords!”
Without hesitation, Mo Xiao summoned two Skeleton Lords.
Now, Mo Xiao had reached level 19.
The Skeleton Lords summoned were also level nineteen with significantly enhanced attributes.
It wouldn’t be easy for even a boss to kill them.
As soon as the Skeleton Lords were summoned, Mo Xiao controlled them to go in different directions
The slaughter of the Black Ants began.
Meanwhile, he led Jiang He into the main passage, heading straight for the location of the Ant Queen.
“Are we going directly to the Ant Queen? What about the side quest?” Jiang He, who was following behind Mo Xiao, asked curiously.
“The Skeleton Lords will take care of it.”
As soon as Mo Xiao said this, a series of notifications continuously appeared on their information panel.
[You killed a Black Ant and gained 200 experience points.]
[You killed a Black Ant and gained 200 experience points.]
In just a few minutes, Jiang He’s experience bar increased by 5%.
“This... When did your Skeleton Lord become so powerful?” Jiang He asked in surprise.
“Its level is linked to mine. As I level up, it becomes stronger,” Mo Xiao explained calmly.
Jiang He nodded slightly and didn’t say anything more. She quietly followed Mo Xiao as they advanced towards the end of the nest.
Along the way, although Black Ants appeared from time to time, they were killed by Mo Xiao before Jiang He could react.
In a short half-hour, the two appeared once again at the end of the Black Ant Nest.
[You successfully killed the Black Ant King and gained 3,000 experience points!]
[Congratulations! The secondary quest of the instance, Black Ant Nest, has been completed! Killing the Ant Queen will completely end the instance!] Looking at the familiar system information, Mo Xiao instinctively looked at the wall that had previously teleported him away.
“You don’t plan to go to that hidden space again, do you?”
Seeing Mo Xiao’s actions, Jiang He was startled and quickly held him back, afraid that he might be teleported away again.
Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “I already cleared that area. Even if we go there, we won’t find anything, and besides, that space appears randomly.” Saying that, Mo Xiao tapped the wall in front of him, and indeed, there was no prompt this time.
“Let’s go then, killing the Ant Queen will complete the instance.” n0veluSb.c0m
Mo Xiao put away his longbow and walked directly into the cave where the Ant Queen was located..
[You slaughtered all the subjects of the Ant Queen, thoroughly enraging her. Please be careful!]
As they entered, a system notification sounded in their ears.
Indeed, after completing the side quest, the boss of the instance would undergo some subtle changes.
Mo Xiao looked at the Ant Queen in front of him, which was two to three times larger than the Black Ant King, and raised an eyebrow.
[Angry Black Ant Queen ? Elite Lord-level boss]
Level: LV25
HP: 10,000/10,000
Strength: 100
Agility: 540

Spawning: Instantly lays countless ant eggs, hatching dozens of Black Workers with the same level as the Ant Queen.
Detonation: Explodes the laid ant eggs, causing massive damage.
Devour: Devours everything in front of her to restore health.
Acid Spray: Shoots ant acid at the enemy, causing continuous damage.
“Her health is quite high.”
Mo Xiao murmured as he looked at the Ant Queen. Jiang He, who was behind him, was nervous.
“Mo Xiao... What should we do?” Jiang He asked cautiously since Mo Xiao hadn’t taken any action.
“?” Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He with confusion and said directly, “What else can we do? Just kill her.”
With that, Mo Xiao unsheathed the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back. “Brutal Power!
“Power Halo!
“Full-strength attack!”
“Shattering Mountains and Rivers!”
The three familiar skills combined with the brand new Shattering Mountains and Rivers.
A terrifying sword light instantly left his hand.
With an unstoppable momentum, he charged straight towards the Ant Queen.
[Triggered a force of a thousand catties!]
-226300!!!!
In an instant, a number as high as 200,000 flashed above the Ant Queen’s head.
Immediately, a mournful and sharp scream echoed as the Ant Queen crashed heavily to the ground, disappearing into specks of starlight.
“200,000?!” Seeing this number, Jiang He couldn’t believe her eyes as she opened her cute little mouth wide.
In just a few days, Mo Xiao’s strength had undergone such a terrifying improvement!
[You killed an elite-level Lord boss and gained 20,000 experience points!]
[You have obtained the ant queen’s mouthpart.]
You obtained the Ant Queen’s exoskeleton.]
[You have obtained a Purgatory Treasure Chest.]
[You obtained the Ant Queen’s Treasure Chest.]
[You obtained 10 Black Ant Eggs.]
[Congratulations on killing the Black Ant Queen. The Black Ant Nest instance has been cleared! You obtained the qualification to enter the Nightmare-level Black Ant Nest instance Dungeon!]
[Congratulations on breaking the record of clearing the Purgatory-level Black Ant Nest instance! You obtained a Record Treasure Chest*i! You gained 10,000 experience points!]
As the system notifications sounded, the two directly transformed into rays of light and returned to the instance’s main hall.
[Ding! The record for clearing the Purgatory-level Black Ant Nest instance has been broken! Current record: 31 minutes and 15 seconds! Record breakers: Mo Xiao and Jiang He’s team!]
“What the f*ck! Someone broke the record?! And it’s the Purgatory-level one! Are they kidding?!!!”
“Quick, look at the names! It’s Goddess Jiang He who broke it! She’s too amazing!”
“I bet 50 cents it must be Mo Xiao leading the way!”
“Sob, sob, sob, we’re still grinding level 5 Slime instances while they cleared a level 15 Purgatory-level instance. People are so much better than us!”
Listening to the noisy voices around him, Mo Xiao instinctively scratched his ear and looked at Jiang He beside him. “This instance gives a lot of experience. Did you level up?”
“Yes...” Jiang He stared blankly at the completion time on the system panel and said, “I leveled up four times in one go, and now I’m level 10.”
“Not bad. Take a break, and let’s prepare for the Nightmare-level now,” Mo Xiao said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Jiang He quickly snapped out of her daze. “Continue grinding?”
“Yes, I need to reach level 25 within two months, and I can’t waste any time..”
