After equipping two pieces of enhanced Level 25 two-star Silver Bone Rings and Magician's Pants, Zhang Yi's subsequent battles required no positioning. Whether facing Skeleton Warriors or Skeleton Archers, he stood his ground. The damage from Level 18 skeletons didn't exceed 100 points, while Zhang Yi's casual attacks easily inflicted over 300 damage on them. He could take down a Level 18 skeleton in two or three hits, astonishing the other players struggling to grind skeletons around him.

"A standing mage...??? Awesome..."

"This Yinuo Qingcheng is getting scarier!"

Gradually, players began to gather around, trying to team up with Yinuo Qingcheng, whose combat power was off the charts, making killing skeletons as easy as killing chickens.

An Archer Girl in a midriff-baring leather armor, with a stunning figure, deliberately swayed her slender waist in front of Zhang Yi, her expression seductive and charming as she said, "Brother Qingcheng, want to team up? I'm single and ready to mingle!"

Zhang Yi showed his straightforward nature: "Move aside, you're blocking my grind."

Thinking the Archer Girl wasn't pretty or curvy enough, another girl, looking like a celebrity with a super sexy figure, long legs, a slim waist, and an oval face, confidently approached Zhang Yi, smiling as she said, "Hey handsome, what do you think of me?"

Zhang Yi did glance at her: "Your smile is really beautiful."

Hearing Zhang Yi's compliment, the sexy girl proudly smiled and asked, "Really?"

Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Yi added, "Like a big fool in spring."

"Get lost!"

Both girls were stunned, not understanding why Zhang Yi suddenly became so fierce.

That's because they didn't know what Zhang Yi had been through.

In his previous life, betrayed by Lin Ruo, whom he loved for eight years, Zhang Yi no longer knew what trust was. He couldn't believe anyone now, convinced that anyone trying to get close was after something he had.

Especially women.

Moreover, Zhang Yi didn't want to team up with anyone now, as teaming up meant sharing experience points.

With his current strength, solo grinding posed no pressure, so why bring along a burden and share experience points?

After being rebuffed by Zhang Yi, the two girls didn't bother him anymore and left. Subsequently, no one else dared to approach Zhang Yi.

Even such beautiful and sexy girls, whom other men would kneel to please, Zhang Yi ignored and even scolded. Those guys thinking of teaming up with Zhang Yi feared they'd get a beating instead.

So, Zhang Yi continued grinding solo.

Previously, he only dared to take on one skeleton at a time. But with his defense up, Zhang Yi now boldly faced several skeletons at once.

Zzz—Boom!

A Chain Lightning struck from the sky, hitting a Skeleton Warrior dozens of meters away, then bouncing to two other Level 18 and 17 Skeleton Warriors nearby—

-295!

-295!

-316!

-111 burn...

-111 burn...

-117 burn...

As the aggro was drawn, the three Skeleton Warriors, with a third of their health gone, dragged their greatswords toward Zhang Yi.

Taking advantage of their approach, Zhang Yi swiftly wielded his Flame Staff, combining Fireball Spells with basic attacks, continuously dealing over 300 points of high damage to the three Skeleton Warriors.

Before they could get close, the three Skeleton Warriors, with just over a thousand total health, fell under Zhang Yi's fierce bombardment, turning into a pile of experience and Copper Coins scattered on the ground.

Not in a hurry to pick up the loot, Zhang Yi continued attacking other skeletons around him until the loot piled up so much that he couldn't walk through it. Only then did Zhang Yi stop to collect the spoils.

Because if he didn't pick them up within an hour, the System would reclaim them.

It took several minutes to pick up all the items from the countless Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers he had killed in the past hour.

Checking the task interface, Zhang Yi found that the progress for Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers had reached 100%!

The efficiency was like he had a cheat!

During this time, Zhang Yi had only obtained over 40 Divine Bones from hunting over two hundred skeleton monsters, far from the 1,000 Divine Bones needed for the Hidden Quest "Collect Rare Materials."

The Hidden Quest wasn't urgent, as there was a week to complete it. Now, he needed to focus on the "Undead Requiem" quest, which had to be completed today.

So, Zhang Yi ventured deeper into the higher and more mysterious regions of the Undead City, leaving behind a group of solo players filled with shock and envy.

"How can a Beastmaster deal such high damage? Killing an 18-level Skeleton Warrior in a few hits is Fing terrifying!" exclaimed a Level 14 Warrior Player. "I take forever to kill a 17-level Skeleton Warrior, even with teammates. This guy... kills high-level skeletons like he's killing chickens!"

Beside him, another Archer Player sighed, "I wish I had such high damage. I'd love to feel like a damage-dealing turret!"

At this moment, a Priestess Sister said enviously, "I wish I had such a strong boyfriend to protect me. If Yinuo Qingcheng were my boyfriend, he'd take me grinding and leveling up!"

...

Passing through the Level 17-18 area, all Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers trying to block Zhang Yi were turned into experience and money under his explosive damage, collected by Zhang Yi.

The Undead City was divided into three layers, each clearly segmented into Skeleton and Undead domains.

After passing through the Skeleton domain, Zhang Yi reached the other half of the Undead City, the Undead domain.

The apocalyptic street scene remained the same, still desolate. The difference was that in this domain, there were no skeletons. Instead, humanoid monsters with semi-transparent bodies roamed aimlessly, some holding staffs, others gripping short knives.

They were Undead Mages and Undead Slayers, Zhang Yi's next hunting targets.
