Chapter 54: Nightmare-Level Instance Dungeon? Sorry! Instant Kill!

What skill did this wave of copies replicate? Mo Xiao didn’t notice at all.
What surprised him was that after this Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast rubbed against others, it could actually copy skills and talents!
This was what surprised Mo Xiao the most.
“Could pets also use their owner’s talents?”
Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a burst of laughter reached his ears.
“Eh, little guy, stop nudging around!”
Little Gray was desperately snuggling into Jiang He’s arms, making her laugh non-stop.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao’s mouth twitched a couple of times, and he couldn’t help but cough twice, saying, “Ahem, Jiang He, continue with the instance.”
“So soon? Doesn’t the Black Ant Nest instance have a cooldown of two hours?” Jiang He asked in confusion while holding Little Gray.
Mo Xiao remained calm and said, “It’s fine, your uncle gave me a cooldown reduction tool.”
“There’s such an item? I didn’t even know. Uncle is too biased, he gives everything to you and nothing to me.” Jiang He pouted unhappily.
Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He, not bothering to say much, and directly walked to the entrance of the Black Ant Nest instance.
[The current instance has been cleared, cooldown time: 2 hours. Do you want to use the reset function?]
“Use.”
With Mo Xiao’s command, the instance’s gate lit up with a green light, and the cooldown time instantly reset to zero.
[Please select the instance difficulty.]
[Easy, Normal, Hard, Purgatory, Abyss, Nightmare.]
Originally, there were only five difficulty options, but now, a sixth difficulty appeared. Clearly, Mo Xiao had unlocked a brand new difficulty after clearing the Purgatory Difficulty.
“Nightmare, huh…”
Mo Xiao thought for a moment and clicked on the nightmare option.
[Warning! Nightmare Difficulty far exceeds all previous difficulties. Do you want to enter?]
“Enter.”
[Warning! Nightmare Level is extremely dangerous! Do you want to enter with only two people?]
“Enter!”
With Mo Xiao’s two choices, the entrance to the Black Ant Nest instance once again glowed with a red dangerous light, and the two of them directly entered the instance.
As they disappeared, a group of people gathered cautiously outside the instance gate.
“What the hell is Nightmare Level? Have you heard of it?”
“No, the highest difficulty for instances used to be Abyss, right? When did Nightmare level appear?”
“Should we go find the Hall Master? He brought Goddess Jiang He down with him…”
“Well… I don’t think we need to. It’s not his first time doing this.”
“I’m really curious about how much experience there is in a nightmare-level dungeon-”
“Don’t be curious. With our standards, even if we can open it, we’ll be courting death.”
[Beep, you have entered a nightmare-level map, the black ant nest!]
As soon as they entered the map, Jiang He hugged Little Gray and looked around curiously.
“Is this a Nightmare-level map? It doesn’t feel like there’s much of an area with a Purgatory-level map…”
Before Jiang He could finish her sentence, Mo Xiao suddenly pulled her behind him.
“Ding, ding, ding!”
In the next moment, a series of metal clashing sounds rang out from Mo Xiao’s body, and a series of numbers continuously flashed above his head.
[-500]
[-999]
[-500]
“!!!” Seeing this string of numbers, Jiang He was also shocked. “What high damage! Mo Xiao, you didn’t… Eh? Why didn’t your health drop?”
Looking at Mo Xiao’s unchanged health bar in the party list, Jiang He was stunned.
H 11
Mo Xiao did not speak, but directly drew his flying longbow.
“Full-strength attack!”
“Rain of arrows!”
Without thinking, Mo Xiao instantly fired the skill he had just learned.
-10,504
-10,504
Instantly, a series of tens of thousands of damage numbers flashed in the distance.
[You have killed the Elite Thorn Ant and gained 5,000 experience points!]
[You have killed the Elite Thorn Ant and gained 5,000 experience points!]
As a series of messages flashed past, Jiang He did not even know what had happened, and her experience bar was already half filled.
“So much experience! Are all these elite monsters?” Jiang He exclaimed in astonishment.
Mo Xiao nodded. “Yes, the experience gained is indeed quite good. Their levels should be quite high. Judging from this, even the weakest creatures inside should be elites.”
“All the monsters in a nest are elites?” Hearing this, Jiang He couldn’t help but gulp and said, “How about… we leave? I’d be done for if one of those monsters hits me…”
“Don’t worry, with me here, 1 won’t let you get hurt,” Mo Xiao said calmly.
Jiang He hesitated for a moment and said, “How about I wait here for you? As long as you clear the instance, I can leave, and the experience from completing the instance should be enough for me.”
Hearing Jiang He’s words, Mo Xiao looked around and said, “No, there would be monsters here. Leaving you here would be the most dangerous option.”
“Fine…”
Although Jiang He didn’t want to burden Mo Xiao, she also didn’t want to stay idly here, so she had no choice but to follow Mo Xiao into the Black Ant Nest.
Although it was a Nightmare-level map, the route of the black ant nest was not much different from before.
Apart from the significantly increased monster density and quality, there was not much difference from the previous maps in the Douyu game, and even the side quests were canceled.
After walking for a while, Mo Xiao directly stopped and said, “It seems that this Nightmare-level instance doesn’t have any side quests.”
“It seems so… Is there a problem?” Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao with some confusion.
Mo Xiao smiled and said, “Let’s set another clear record. The Nightmare-level reward might be better.”
“Huh?”
Before Jiang He could react, Mo Xiao directly looked at her and said, “Excuse me.”
Then, with a scream, Mo Xiao carried Jiang He in his arms like a princess.
“Hold on for a while; it won’t take long.”
Mo Xiao’s face was slightly red at this point, and he dared not look down at Jiang He in his arms.
He didn’t care whether Jiang He agreed or not and directly said, “Little Gray! Use the power of the spirit and keep up!”
“Shadowless!”
As Mo Xiao activated his technique, he instantly turned into a phantom, and his running speed reached its limit as he headed straight for the Ant Queen’s nest.
About five minutes later, Mo Xiao stopped his sprint and released his hands.
However, Jiang He hung on to Mo Xiao like a koala bear.
“Ahem… Jiang He, let go. We’ve arrived; we’re about to get out.”
Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Jiang He’s face immediately turned even redder. She quickly let go of Mo Xiao and jumped down from his arms.
We’re here?” Jiang He mumbled.
Mo Xiao nodded. “Only the Ant Queen is left.”
“Yes, and…”
[You killed the Elite Lord Boss, the Black Ant Ant Queen and gained 50,000 experience points!]
