The Succubus Queen used the black gem to open a spacetime portal, with the aim of sending a lord-level demon here.
Without a doubt, the Succubus Queen must have carefully selected this demon.
The Crimson Moon Demon doesn't have any impressive attributes; it only has one skill called "Infinite Thrust," which is an area-of-effect attack.
It can lock onto a target, making it impossible for the target to dodge and leaving it with no choice but to withstand the attack.
Fortunately, its attack power is not particularly strong, with a strength attribute of only 7, which is slightly inferior to the Earth Touch Dragon God.
Its total attribute value is 27, which is still somewhat insufficient compared to bosses of the same level, such as the Soul-Eating Insect King.
Although the Crimson Moon Demon is not as powerful as other bosses in terms of total attributes, its special skills make it more dangerous and difficult to deal with.
Yi Ning explained, "Lord-level demons are the elite among the abyss demons, and their numbers are few. Their existence is equivalent to a lord-level BOSS, powerful and difficult to deal with. This barrier has already merged with the Crimson Moon Demon, and if we cannot kill it, we will not be able to escape from here."
Jiang Chen roughly understood what Yi Ning meant.
At this moment, the Crimson Moon Demon had completely merged into the earth, launching continuous attacks that left him feeling helpless.
But killing it easily is not an easy task.
Jiang Chen made up his mind: "I'll give it a try."
The two skeleton warriors, braving the attacks of the Crimson Moon Demon, quickly ran towards the edge of the barrier.
Even as they approached the edge of the barrier, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks did not cease.
Clearly, the entire barrier was within the attack range of the Crimson Moon Demon.
The skeleton warriors unleashed their burst abilities, slamming them against the barrier, but the barrier remained completely unmoved.
Jiang Chen decided to recall the skeleton warriors to prevent them from suffering unnecessary harm.
Suddenly, a large patch of black light fell from above.
The black light, like a sharp sword, contained powerful abyssal force and rained down.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very accurate, and most of his shots missed.
The demons overhead weren't idle; they launched attacks from high above, but from a very, very far distance, beyond Jiang Chen's attack range.
They were clearly afraid of themselves, so they flew very, very high.
The black light attack is inaccurate; it's just a random, random shot. It's best if it hits, but it's okay if it misses.
With Crimson Moon Demons on the ground and High-Ranking Demons harassing them from above, Jiang Chen and Yi Ning were attacked from both sides.
"These guys are a real nuisance; we need to find a way to get them down."
Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
Yi Ning heard Jiang Chen say, "My summoned beast has a skill that can create a no-fly effect for a short time."
"However, the time is very short, only 30 seconds, and the cooldown time is a full 10 minutes, and the range is not very large."
"If they were on guard..."
Yi Ning's meaning is very clear: this skill only has one chance.
The key is to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to maximize your effectiveness.
30 second…
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and figured it should be enough. "Use it when I tell you to," Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Now was not the time to use it.
"Okay." Yi Ning nodded immediately, already prepared.
Now the Crimson Moon Demon has merged into the earth and continues to attack them.
Jiang Chen couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he could only try.
A red light flashed.
Skill: Slow Curse!
There was a slight buzzing sound.
In an instant, the spikes attacking him slowed down.
Crimson shackles appeared at the tips of the spikes.
Moreover, the ground inside the barrier was covered with countless red shackles, densely packed together.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he immediately understood.
It's not that the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks are particularly fast or accurate, but rather that it has too many attack points.
So no matter where they flee, they cannot escape the enemy's attack.
Moreover, each spike is affected by the curse, as if each spike were an independent living entity.
This land has been transformed into the body of the Crimson Moon Demon.
And he was now standing inside the body of the Crimson Moon Demon.
Jiang Chen seemed to understand something, and roughly grasped it.
By peeling back the layers, the true face of the Crimson Moon Demon is gradually being revealed.
Under the curse, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks slowed down considerably, and the pressure on Jiang Chen decreased rapidly.
"Let's give it a try."
An undead army has appeared.
Skill: Legion Enhancement!
All the skeletons simultaneously received various enhancement buffs. In an instant, numerous spikes appeared and attacked the skeletons.
The skeletons were prepared, unleashing their skills simultaneously, their large swords flashing red as they slashed at the spikes.
Bang bang bang sounds were heard.
Debris flew everywhere.
At the same time, a blue, sticky substance was sprayed out.
Faint screams could still be heard.
The blue slime landed on the skeleton warrior, making a sizzling sound, like boiling water being poured on ice.
Large plumes of blue smoke rose, the pale golden bones were corroded, and the skeleton warriors were injured one after another.
The Lich General raises his staff: Legion Heal!
The skeletons were healing their wounds quickly when the second wave of spiked attacks came.
The skeleton warrior continued to fight back.
The spikes shattered again, spewing out even more blue slime. The skeleton warrior's injuries worsened.
In just three seconds, after more than ten waves of attacks, the skeletons were covered in blue slime.
The blue slime was incredibly corrosive, and the damage kept piling up. The skeleton warrior was taking more damage than the Lich General could heal.
The skeleton mage, who did not retaliate, suffered less damage than the skeleton warrior, despite constantly enduring the spike attacks.
Looking at the Crimson Moon Demon, it was as if it had never been injured.
The number of red shackles has not decreased at all.
Jiang Chen tried to retrieve the skeleton, but found he couldn't.
Because the skeleton warriors have blue slime on their bodies.
A sweet laugh echoed through the air as the succubus Luluna wagged her tail. "We've analyzed your skills, and the Demon King has carefully selected the Crimson Moon Demon for you. Now, enjoy the pleasure of being killed."
Some of the characteristics of the Crimson Moon Demon were specifically designed to counter Jiang Chen's skeleton.
No matter how many skeletons Jiang Chen had, they were powerless against the Crimson Moon Demon.
Yi Ning's expression turned grave. "What should we do?"
Jiang Chen remained unhurried. "No rush, let's take another look."
He had already noticed that the Crimson Moon Demon's attack power had weakened after the appearance of the undead legion.
It's about one-tenth less than before.
This change wasn't very obvious, but Jiang Chen could clearly feel the pressure exerted by the skeleton armor.
"It seems that with more targets being targeted at at the same time, the attack power will be weakened."
A thought struck him, and yet another undead army appeared.
The skeletons were appropriately separated, each occupying a separate area.
Including the Lich General, there was now a new target within the barrier. The Crimson Moon Demon launched an attack on them simultaneously.
Countless sharp spikes shot out from the ground, piercing the skeletons.
But its attack power...
"As expected, it has decreased again."
As the number of targets increased, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks were once again dispersed.
The corrosive effect of the slime subsided, and the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks weakened.
The skeleton warrior, whose body was previously covered in slime, has finally recovered.
With the Lich General's repeated healing, his injuries recovered rapidly.
The situation has stabilized.
Jiang Chen and Yi Ning were also constantly under attack, and had to replenish their skeleton armor from time to time. In the past, Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.
But now that he has absorbed 15 soul crystals, his mental strength has increased significantly.
Furthermore, by fusing with the Soul Gem, the speed at which mental energy recovers increases by 100 times.
He also carried a large amount of the flesh of the Earth-Touching Dragon God.
Jiang Chen felt that he could hold on for a few more months without any problem.
If we release the entire undead army, everyone can share the damage.
It's estimated that they can hold out for another six months without any problem.
As for the Lich General…
This thing doesn't even have the concept of mental energy consumption.
Jiang Chen didn't know what the Lich General's skill consumed; it seemed like it didn't consume anything.
With the life-or-death crisis averted, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, we need to think carefully about how to deal with this Crimson Moon Demon.
There can't be a perfect monster.
Otherwise, the human race would have been wiped out long ago.
It definitely has weaknesses, it just hasn't found a way to break through them.
Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry; he was very patient.
Since you want me dead, then I'll wage a protracted war and kill you all first!
