Another loud explosion echoed through the forest, and the knight's corpse was blown to pieces.
The three of them were completely wiped out, leaving not even a speck of remains.
There was no denying it — the corpse explosion skill was truly a top-level divine technique for erasing all traces.
Following his plan from yesterday, Mark Lin headed toward the West Sea Mine.
That place was the goblins' old lair.
As he got closer and closer to the West Sea Mine, the levels of the goblin groups gradually increased.
Level 12 Goblin Warriors.
Level 13 Goblin Archers appeared one after another.
But against the unusually strong Skeleton Warriors, they were utterly useless.
After a night of meditation, Mark Lin's mental power fully recovered, and he summoned another four Skeleton Warriors.
At this point, the total number of Skeleton Warriors had reached 48.
With the Summon Skeleton Warrior skill now at level 10, the summoned warriors had evolved from Iron-Tier to Bronze-Tier Skeleton Warriors.
The mental power requirement had also increased.
Now summoning one Skeleton Warrior required 70 points of mental power.
Mark Lin had a total of only 300 points of mental power, so as before, he could only summon four at a time.
Still, Mark Lin was very satisfied.
One day, his Summon Space would be full — he was in no rush.
The closer he got to the West Sea Mine dungeon, the more people appeared.
Most of the monsters on the path to the dungeon had already been cleared.
Soon, Mark Lin saw the dungeon entrance.
It was a vortex similar to the newbie dungeons, only much larger.
The newbie dungeon vortex was at most half a meter in diameter, but this West Sea Mine dungeon entrance was a full meter wide.
A continuous aura of bloodthirst radiated from the vortex.
Even those with timid hearts felt terror just from the scent.
"Normal difficulty, three players short one, need a healer."
"Normal difficulty, we have a mage and healer, need a knight."
"Elite team for the Mine Dungeon, nightmare difficulty — have knight, mage, assassin, need healer and crowd control support."
"Nightmare difficulty guaranteed pass team, short knight and healer — five players short four."
…
At the dungeon entrance, many people were waving flags and shouting, looking for teammates.
Several stood near the entrance, seemingly discussing strategies.
Mark Lin walked toward the entrance with a single Skeleton Warrior; the others were stored away.
Even inside the Summon Space, passive skills still worked.
Mark Lin had no worries about his own safety.
Crack!
Crack!
The Skeleton Warrior's skeletons rubbed together as it walked, making the teeth ache.
The soul fire flickered inside its skull, carrying chilling winds that dropped the temperature several degrees.
The terrifying appearance of the Skeleton Warriors caused a wave of panic.
Many stepped back, voluntarily clearing a path for Mark Lin.
Mark Lin arrived at the dungeon entrance and checked the dungeon information.
It wasn't a real dungeon like the newbie ones used for practice.
The Mine Dungeon had no high-level setting — only Normal and Nightmare difficulties, no Hell mode.
The Normal difficulty was already filled with elite monsters, much stronger than outside mobs.
Nightmare difficulty featured enhanced elite monsters, even harder.
Normal difficulty usually required a three-person team — one tank, one DPS, and one healer.
Nightmare difficulty required five players — two supports and two DPS.
This clearly showed the difficulty gap.
The Skeleton Warrior just stood silently by Mark Lin's side.
Finally, someone mustered courage and spoke to Mark Lin, "Young man, are you a summoner?"
Mark Lin didn't answer, ignoring him.
A detection spell was cast on him and the Skeleton Warrior.
Suddenly, a red glow flashed in the empty eye sockets of the Skeleton Warrior's skull, staring at the caster.
The sudden movement startled that person, who quickly hid like a turtle pulling its head in.
The detection spell failed, revealing no information.
Mark Lin was wearing the shield badge Ivy Ning had given him.
Anyone not ten levels above him couldn't use detection spells to gather his info.
He didn't order the Skeleton Warrior to attack — just a detection spell, no need to overreact.
"Hey kid, want to join us for the dungeon run? We need a DPS."
"You must be a summoner, right? Summoner DPS is pretty good — come join us."
"We're an elite team running Nightmare difficulty. If we get good loot, we split it evenly."
Everyone seemed to realize Mark Lin wasn't ordinary, inviting him to join their teams one after another.
But Mark Lin still ignored them all.
After reviewing the dungeon info, he chose Nightmare difficulty.
[Please confirm your choice of Nightmare difficulty.]
"Confirm!"
Mark Lin was teleported into the dungeon.
"He's entered the dungeon."
"He's going alone."
"No way, soloing? Too arrogant."
"Can't say that. Maybe he's strong enough? Some people do solo."
"Hey, the guy who used the detection spell, what info did you get? What level, what class?"
"His summons are undead. I've never seen that before."
The detector looked a bit embarrassed, "No info. He must be wearing a shielding badge."
"Hmm, let's just wait and see if he can make it out alive."
"Maybe he's all show and no skill — scary but weak."
Outside the dungeon, many wore expressions of anticipation, waiting for a spectacle.
Every year, quite a few died inside from soloing out of arrogance.
The Mine Dungeon's terrain was exactly like a real mine, filled with oppressive air and a strong stench of blood.
Before Mark Lin stood a huge iron door — opening it meant officially starting the dungeon.
Behind the door, a monster over two meters tall was roaring. It had already spotted Mark Lin.
If Mark Lin dared to open the door, the monster would charge out and tear him apart immediately.
