Under the circumstances of having only 6 points in Agility, landing a critical hit on the first strike was truly a stroke of luck.

With the 25 points of Intelligence bonus contributed by the Undead Robe, Zhang Yi's attack power exceeded 400 points, allowing him to instantly kill a level 19 Skeleton Archer with a critical Fireball Spell, which was actually within Zhang Yi's expectations.

However, for Guan Hao and the others behind him, this was beyond extraordinary; it was simply... invincible!

Guan Hao: "My goodness, is his damage even higher than when we first encountered him this morning?"

Liu Xing: "It's terrifying, a single skill took out a level 19 skeleton? Now I understand why those guys were so afraid of Zhang Yi earlier!"

Han Feng: "Terrifying indeed, hiss..."

Han Yaru: "..."

While the four were dumbfounded, Zhang Yi had already taken down the second glowing Skeleton Archer with two normal attacks...

In the ears of Guan Hao and the others, who hadn't made a move in the back row, came the system notifications—

"Ding~ Your team has killed a level 19 Skeleton Archer, you gain 20% combat experience, EXP 30!"

"Ding~ Your team has killed a level 20 Skeleton Archer, you gain 20% combat experience, EXP 34!"

"Ding..."

The advantage of team monster farming is high kill efficiency, but the downside is that the experience is evenly split among the team members, with a maximum of five people in a team, each only getting 20% of the experience, except for the one landing the final blow, who can get an additional 10% experience, totaling 30%.

This means a level 19 Skeleton Archer can give Guan Hao and the others 30 points of experience, while Zhang Yi can get 45 points.

So, in the following moments, Guan Hao and the others hardly needed to make a move, as Zhang Yi was the one constantly farming at the front. Guan Hao and the others just watched as Zhang Yi, this seemingly extraordinary guy, took down a Skeleton Archer in one or two hits and blasted a Skeleton Warrior in two or three hits, killing these level 19-20 skeletons, which other players at this stage wouldn't dare to touch, as if he were slaughtering chickens!

However, the difference between glowing skeletons and normal skeletons is not just the glow; they are endowed by the system with a powerful passive skill: Corrosion.

Corrosion: The attacks of glowing Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers have a 0.1% chance to directly damage a random piece of equipment on the player, rendering it unusable until repaired at the Blacksmith Shop.

This is similar to the "Durability" effect on equipment of 3-star quality or higher, where equipment becomes unusable when durability drops to 0. The Corrosion skill these skeletons possess can directly deplete all durability of a player's equipment!

Fortunately, the trigger chance is low; otherwise, Zhang Yi's equipment might have been destroyed after a round of fighting.

During this time, Guan Hao and the others thought about helping with the farming, but when Han Feng, the Archer, used a Fire Arrow on a level 19 Skeleton Warrior, dealing over 30 damage and almost getting counter-killed by the Skeleton Warrior, they gave up on helping and stayed in the back to leech experience.

Even Han Yaru, the Priest, couldn't help because Zhang Yi almost never lost health. The melee Skeleton Warriors had no chance to get close, being blasted from dozens of meters away.

The Skeleton Archers, on the brink of death, might get off one or two arrows, but the damage couldn't even break Zhang Yi's [Undead Protection]!

So Zhang Yi's health remained nearly full, though the continuous use of Fireball Spell and Chain Lightning consumed energy quickly. Given Zhang Yi's level 17 status, a Fireball Spell consumed 12 energy points, and Chain Lightning consumed 15.

Due to a relatively high energy cap, Zhang Yi needed only one mana potion for every dozen skeletons killed.

As Zhang Yi relentlessly slaughtered the skeletons emitting white light, the quest progress soared rapidly, reaching over 50 in no time, indicating Zhang Yi had killed over 50 skeletons!

According to the [Hunt Skeletons] quest: for each glowing skeleton killed, the player weakens the Boss, the Golden Skeleton King, by 0.01% of its attributes. Zhang Yi had only weakened it by 0.5% so far.

But there was no rush, as this was just Zhang Yi's ten-minute harvest.

While undertaking the [Hunt Skeletons] quest, Zhang Yi was also working on the [Acquire Rare Materials] hidden quest. Occasionally, Divine Bones would drop with the deaths of Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Warriors.

In an instant, the surrounding ground was littered with money, Enhancement Stones, equipment, Divine Bones, and even Skill Books and Treasure Chests, but Zhang Yi had no time to pick them up. His main goal was to kill as many skeletons as possible to significantly weaken the Boss's attributes and prompt it to attack Hope Town sooner.

Guan Hao and the others, having nothing to do, decided to help Zhang Yi by collecting the loot, which was a small favor.

As for the items they picked up, Guan Hao and the others planned to give everything to Zhang Yi after the farming was done, feeling embarrassed to split the loot after leeching experience.

However, even picking up items was risky for them, as they could be shot dead by a stray arrow from a Skeleton Archer.

Fortunately, the chance of triggering [Corrosion] was low, and Zhang Yi wasn't frequently hit by the skeletons, so his equipment was mostly intact.

From 1 PM to 4 PM, they farmed continuously until the quest time ended, when a system notification simultaneously reached Zhang Yi and Guan Hao's ears—

"Ding~ Your quest [Hunt Skeletons] is complete, progress 955. Please return to the Safe Zone to submit the quest for generous rewards!"

At the same time, an area announcement sounded—

Zone 886 Area Announcement: "Ding~ Attention all players, due to the completion of the special quest [Hunt Skeletons] by players in Zone 886, in tonight's Boss Invasion Battle, the invading Boss, God of Death, the Golden Skeleton King, will have its attributes reduced by 9.55%, and the Boss will invade Safe Zone No. 886 48 minutes earlier than scheduled. The Boss invasion time is set for 5:12 PM today. All players in Safe Zone No. 886, please prepare to defend your home!"

With the system announcement, the Regional Chat Channel of Zone 886 became lively again.
