Healing to Kill

Seeing Moonlit Dance frozen in place, Jiang Chen thought she didn't understand and explained, "If we can enter the Gate of Sealing, let's go in. Waiting for mobs outside is too slow."

Moonlit Dance understood perfectly well; she was just shocked by Jiang Chen's words.

Enter the Gate of Sealing? That's way too bold!

"People have gone in and out of the Gate of Sealing before, but that was when it was empty," Moonlit Dance pointed at the gate before them. "Now, there are still mobs inside."

"Then we can go in," Jiang Chen muttered to himself and walked straight towards the massive Gate of Sealing.

As he entered, several elite mobs he had aggroed followed him.

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed closely behind.

Moonlit Dance hesitated for two seconds, then had no choice but to follow them in.

Upon entering the Gate of Sealing, the surroundings immediately darkened.

This was a space filled with demonic aura.

A long line of demonic creatures stretched from a distance.

At the end of the line, a massive BOSS could be vaguely seen.

But because it was too far, the details were unclear.

"Other than the demonic aura, there doesn't seem to be anything special here," Jiang Chen quickly surveyed the surroundings.

Finding no other dangers, he cast a Healing Spell at the nearest elite mob, the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf.

-1020!

A white light fell, instantly reducing the elite mob's health by about 10%.

"Ten thousand health points, twice that of a common mob," Jiang Chen noted. To him, elite mobs were no different from common mobs; they were all just a matter of one skill.

Under a barrage of Healing Spells, the Bronze Level elite mob fell to the ground.

Jiang Chen checked the task score template.

[Current Score: 3504 (↑24)]

[Public Score: 876 (↑6)]

"One elite mob gives 30 points."

With this understanding, Jiang Chen prepared to start aggro pulling.

He turned to Qing Ying, who had followed him, and said, "You can't heal here, so don't pull mobs."

"No worries, I'll just pull fewer. The small mobs can't touch me!" Qing Ying said confidently.

"Alright, be careful."

With that, Jiang Chen walked towards a Shadow Moon Demon Wolf.

Qing Ying raised her shield and followed, starting to pull mobs.

...

At the eastern foot of Scarlet Flame Mountain, near the Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons, a large number of players were blocking the demonic creatures pouring down from the mountain.

Oddly, even though two Gates of Sealing had been opened, the number of mobs coming down from Scarlet Flame Mountain hadn't increased much.

"It seems many people have gone up the mountain to clear mobs," Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama, the guild leader of Heavenly Guild, was also mob farming here and had been keeping an eye on the number of demonic creatures.

He judged that many people had gone up the mountain.

In fact, every guild here had more or less sent members up Scarlet Flame Mountain.

It wasn't just to clear mobs.

Some guilds wanted to locate each Gate of Sealing, while others wanted to track the movements of the mountain's demonic creatures...

Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama slashed down a nearly dead small mob and was about to move to the next target when he received a message.

[Ten Thousand Swords Return to One: Guild Leader, we found an item on the mountain. Take a look.]

Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama's eyes narrowed as he looked at the item information sent over.

[Demon Suppression Shard: Temporarily closes the Gate of Sealing for 5 minutes.]

"Bring it over quickly!" Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama immediately sent a voice message, a smile on his face.

This was a good item; it could delay the Gate of Sealing from spawning mobs for 5 minutes.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to One: "Guild Leader, I'm bringing it over right now. Other guilds probably found this too and have been keeping it hidden."

...

In the snowy expanse of Lovers' Snowy Forest, Yi Ding stood straight, a glass bottle filled with dark red soil before him.

He was waiting for the cold air here to purify the scorching aura of the Extreme Yang Flower in the soil.

Suddenly, the space behind him rippled.

A semi-transparent figure floated over.

Sensing something, Yi Ding turned around abruptly.

His expression froze, eyes filled with surprise and joy, which quickly turned to shock, confusion, and pain.

"Li Sang!"

He cried out in agony.

However, the transparent figure passed right through him, picked up the glass bottle on the ground, and left Lovers' Snowy Forest.

...

In the Gate of Sealing at Scarlet Flame Mountain, Jiang Chen had cleared all the elite mobs.

His task score had increased by nearly 5,000 points.

[Current Score: 7824]

[Public Score: 1956]

Only the final BOSS remained.

[Howling Moon Demon Wolf: LV15 (Bronze Level BOSS)]

[Deadly Claw: Each attack has a 5% chance to deal 10 times damage.]

[Howling Moon: When health drops by 20%, it howls at the sky, increasing attack power by 100% and attack speed by 100% for 1 minute.]

Looking at the three-meter-tall, six-meter-long Howling Moon Demon Wolf before him, Jiang Chen was about to make his move.

Suddenly, a system prompt appeared.

[Sudden Task: "Filled Glass Bottle" has been taken by "Li Sang." Retrieve it from her, or the mysterious class change task will fail!]

Jiang Chen was stunned.

What was going on?

Was Yi Ding playing him?

Before he could react, another system prompt popped up.

[Due to mysterious forces, the Gate of Sealing (Gold Level) will be flooded with breaking power and will open in 15 minutes!]

[Due to mysterious forces, other Gates of Sealing will lose breaking power and will close, reopening in one hour.]

"What does this mean?" Jiang Chen looked at the system prompt, feeling completely lost.

"Brother Mortal World, this Gate of Sealing... it really seems to be closing!" Tao Xiaoyao's voice rang out.

Jiang Chen turned to see the entrance of the Gate of Sealing, the massive transparent door slowly closing!

"Let's go, we need to get out!" Jiang Chen didn't have time to think and quickly headed towards the exit.

Qing Ying, Tao Xiaoyao, and Moonlit Dance hurriedly followed him out.

Once outside, Jiang Chen said, "We need to head to the Gold Level Gate of Sealing immediately!"

He had a feeling that the Gate of Sealing and his sudden task were connected.

Otherwise, the prompts wouldn't have appeared simultaneously.

"Got it," Moonlit Dance nodded and led the way towards the Gold Level Gate of Sealing.

Over ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

There were already quite a few players nearby.

They had also received the prompt about the Gold Level Gate of Sealing opening.

However, everyone kept their distance, not daring to get too close.

At the forefront, a massive transparent door was slowly opening.

Black demonic aura wafted around.

At the moment the door fully opened, a transparent figure suddenly appeared and floated inside!

"Li Sang!" Jiang Chen's expression tightened. Amidst the shocked gazes of nearby players, he charged through the demonic aura and into the Gold Level Gate of Sealing!
