The windstorm field effect was still in place.

The Sword Dragon's health had returned to full.

The situation now was that Lin Chen and Zhu Niao were coordinating their attacks, and Sword Dragon could barely withstand the monsters, so the battle continued in this manner.

However, there was a very important point to note here.

Lin Chen specifically instructed Liu Mengyao, "The Giant Ape Generals can pull a maximum of three at a time. If you pull more, it might trigger their special skills… To be safe, let's just pull two at a time."

The Giant Ape Generals had a skill called Summon Giant Apes!

When the Giant Ape Generals received damage exceeding a certain amount at the same time, they would summon a batch of Giant Ape Warriors, similar to the Monkey King plucking hairs. Lin Chen even suspected that this setting was borrowed from the Monkey King in *Journey to the West*.

In any case, it was very similar.

They had to be careful.

If it were the old Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand these small monsters. Now, they could potentially kite a large group of small monsters around. More importantly, they had Zhu Niao as a turret, plus Lin Chen with his superb equipment.

They could definitely clear this dungeon.

The key was to be fast.

They had to finish the battle within fifty minutes.

They needed to clear it quickly, but they couldn't deal with too many Giant Ape Generals at once.

That was what made this dungeon tricky.

So Lin Chen focused on clearing the small monsters first. As for the Giant Ape Generals, they could be defeated one by one later.

Killing eight thousand Giant Ape Warrior small monsters was also very time-consuming. Although Zhu Niao's skill damage was amplified in the windstorm field, and they could kill an ape every five seconds on average with Lin Chen's help, the actual battle was far from as simple as it sounded.

But Lin Chen didn't expect that the busiest person wasn't him, nor Zhu Niao or Sword Dragon, but rather Liu Mengyao, the priest.

In this kind of battle, her healing was the guarantee against a team wipe.

So Liu Mengyao's skills never stopped, always keeping the health of Lin Chen and both pets at full!

Ten minutes later, both the Windstorm Field and Blazing Earth skills ended.

At this time, the ground was densely covered with the corpses of Giant Apes.

Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao both reached level 102.

Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon both reached level 107.

But there were still at least three thousand small monsters that hadn't been killed.

At this time, the Windstorm Field entered its cooldown. Without the Windstorm Field's large-scale damage and crowd control, killing these small monsters became inefficient.

It was a losing proposition.

Then…

"Next, let's clear out those elite monsters first."

Lin Chen knew that the elite monsters in the dungeon, the Giant Ape Generals, each guarded a territory. There were a total of 16 elite monsters. They had killed four before, leaving twelve. Six of the Giant Ape Generals were now alone.

They would defeat them one by one!

This would also ensure that they didn't summon new small monsters.

So now it was single-target damage.

This was Lin Chen's stage to perform.

First, he had Sword Dragon attract the Giant Ape General's aggro. Then, he started with Wind Blade, combined with the homing skill 'Wind Sand Swallow', to temporarily blind the Giant Ape General.

Then, he continuously cast Wind Blade.

In five seconds, Lin Chen dealt 130,000 damage.

The Giant Ape General's health plummeted, and it was finally taken down directly by Zhu Niao's Fireball Barrage!

The efficiency was very high.

Lin Chen and the others immediately rushed to the next spot. Lin Chen even discovered that his Wind Blade could directly attract the Giant Ape General's aggro, which made things even easier. He pulled out and solo-killed each Giant Ape General.

After wasting about ten minutes running around the map, they wiped out all the Giant Ape Generals.

Now all the Giant Ape Generals were gone.

At the same time, a huge roar came from the very center of the map!

The Giant Ape King!

Title: Battle God!

Of course, according to the dungeon's storyline, the title of Battle God was self-proclaimed by the Giant Ape King.

"Who dares to help the Heavenly Palace and obstruct this Battle God?"

The Giant Ape King roared angrily.

At the same time, all the small monsters that were still alive ran towards the center of the map.

At this time, even if Lin Chen attacked those small monsters, he couldn't attract their aggro.

They seemed to be going crazy, with only their king in their eyes, no enemies.

"I didn't expect these Giant Apes to be such zealous fans."

Lin Chen joked with Liu Mengyao, then had Zhu Niao cooperate with him to unleash damage skills to take down a batch of Giant Ape Warriors. Then he said to Liu Mengyao, "Perfect timing, let's go over there now and clear the dungeon!"

"The Giant Ape King can also summon Giant Ape Warriors. Can Sword Dragon withstand it?"

Liu Mengyao was a little worried.

"It has to withstand it even if it can't."

Lin Chen didn't say much. They'd come this far, were they going to back down now?

That wasn't Lin Chen's style.

The situation now was that, according to the normal dungeon process, they should first clear all eight thousand small monsters, then defeat the Giant Ape Generals one by one, and finally fight the Giant Ape King alone. During the process, the Giant Ape King would summon three waves of Giant Ape Warriors: 500 when its health was at 70%, 1,000 at 50%, and 2,000 at 30%.

In addition, the Giant Ape King had one million health!

Its attack power was 68,000!

Even with Sword Dragon's current defense, it could only withstand four or five attacks from the Giant Ape King.

Indeed, as Liu Mengyao said, Sword Dragon probably couldn't withstand it.

After all, it was a pseudo-Transcendent, not a true Transcendent!

"If it really doesn't work, I'll have to go up, or let Zhu Niao go up. We'll have to tank for a bit at crucial moments!"

Lin Chen made up his mind.

Then, they rushed to the center of the map.

They started fighting as soon as they met.

Lin Chen was timing it. The dungeon had been going on for thirty-five minutes, and the cooldown for Windstorm Field was just right. He immediately covered the entire central battlefield, and Zhu Niao used Blazing Earth as soon as possible.

Then, Zhu Niao unleashed all sorts of damage skills.

But its goal and Lin Chen's goal were the same…

The Giant Ape King!

Boom boom boom!

Roar roar roar!

The sounds of the battlefield giants continued. There were the sounds of Lin Chen and Zhu Niao's skills, as well as the Giant Ape King's howls, and Sword Dragon's constant roars. It instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

Liu Mengyao kept changing her position, following behind Lin Chen to heal Sword Dragon. But Sword Dragon was really taking too much damage now. Its health was dropping by tens of thousands, and Liu Mengyao couldn't keep up.

With great difficulty, they cleared a thousand of the three thousand small monsters. At this time, the Giant Ape King's health dropped to 70%, and it summoned another five hundred Giant Ape Warriors.

At this time, the Giant Ape King finally reached a distance of two yards from Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon.

It was originally 30 yards away from Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon, but due to the control of the windstorm field, and Lin Chen's control of the wind, it moved very slowly across those thirty yards.

At the same time, Zhu Niao and Sword Dragon were also positioning themselves, so it was struggling to chase them.

At this moment, the Giant Ape King was extremely angry!

"Despicable and insignificant humans, how dare you play with this Battle God! Then let me show you the power of a Battle God!"

Roar!

The Giant Ape King's body, several meters tall, stood up like a small mountain.

It punched the ground.

The ground cracked, and the cracks extended all the way to Lin Chen's feet.

A damage number appeared above the heads of Lin Chen, Liu Mengyao, Zhu Niao, and Sword Dragon…

-11000!

-8900!

-6500!

-4300!

Good heavens.

This one blow took away 6,500 of Lin Chen's health.

His health immediately entered an unhealthy state, and 40% of his health bar disappeared.
