It was a pity that Chu Ge didn’t have any guns. If he had a shotgun or something similar, one shot toward the head would have felt incredible.
Chu Ge lamented in his heart that if he had a chance in the future, he would buy a few guns.
However, he was not afraid, even without a gun. These zombies were nothing in his eyes.
Unfortunately, the combat strength of zombies was very weak, so the loot they dropped was also no good.

“Sh*t, why did it have to be so miserable? At least drop some things that could be useful,” Chu Ge said to himself.
The more Chu Ge touched the corpses, the sadder he became. The things dropped from the small monsters in this Instance Dungeon was worse than the items dropped from the last Instance Dungeon. At least Kobolds would drop some Kobold’s Gold. For these zombies, the more he touched, the poorer they became. Was it because undead spirits were all poor? What a let-down.
It was unknown whether it was because a great god walking past had heard Chu Ge’s prayers, but when he touched the corpse of the last zombie, a miracle occurred.
Bronze coin x 8, Moonlight Moss (supplies).
[Moonlight Moss (supplies).
After Use: It restores 30 points of health in 10 seconds. If you take eight seconds to eat it, then it will increase your mental strength by three points for 60 minutes.
Item Introduction: It is a very rare plant and will produce a magical effect after eating it. However, collectors are often reluctant to reveal the origin of this plant.]
Good stuff! Chu Ge looked at the introduction of this item and could not help but feel a burst of excitement. These three points of mental strength would usually be useless, but when learning spells, these points were precious.
After carefully putting away the Moonlight Moss, Chu Ge continued moving forward. He arrived at the end of the crypt and in front of a tall stone door.
There were apparent differences between this stone door and the previous wooden doors and stone doors he saw. This stone door was not only tall but also had carved sculptures on it. There was a design of a fully armed knight and a bear.
It looked like this was the main crypt.
Chu Ge pushed open the stone door and looked inside. He immediately realized that this room belonged to the final Boss.
Inside was a big hall that was just as big as the hall where the Undead Knight was earlier. However, in this room, there was a high platform with a set of steps that lead to it. Four skeletons were guarding in front of the steps.
These four skeletons were different from those useless skeletons earlier. Their names showed that they were Undead Warriors. Not only did they have all the bones on their bodies, but they also wore simple armor. Two held spears in their hands while two held a sword and a shield. Their skin was not as weathered and disintegrated as the previous skeletons, but rather it was like a layer of dark brown material stuck to their bones. It made them look very sturdy. They also felt a lot more potent than the previous skeletons.
As the platform was not very high, Chu Ge could see the Boss on the platform, but he just couldn’t see it clearly.
Chu Ge picked up a pair of binoculars and looked inside. The big hall was probably the main crypt. Initially, it was supposed to be a place for coffins; however, it became an experiment platform. Next to the experiment platform was a chair, and on the chair sat a young person wearing a black robe.
Many corpses were surrounding the experiment platform, some of which seemed to have been dead for a very long time, and had become so decomposed that it was possible to see the white bones. Some corpses, however, were still in good condition.
The young person wearing a black robe sat among the pile of corpses, conducting some kind of experiment. This person looked no more than 20 years old and was definitely not more than 30 years old. This person looked skinny, pale, and glum, with thin hair, and a typical white face. One hand was fiddling with the materials on the table, while the other hand was holding a staff symbolizing his status.
The skeleton mark next to the name Auguste (Necromancer Apprentice) revealed the identity of the final Boss of the Necromancer’s Crypt.
From just the appearance, he did not seem threatening, unlike the Zombie Bear and the Undead Knight from earlier. However, Chu Ge could not help but frown. He had played a lot of games in the past, so he knew that the appearance of a Boss often could not be used to judge their strength. Those small Bosses may be more challenging to deal with.
Chu Ge did not dare to have the slightest carelessness in his heart, knowing that the Boss was a Necromancer.
While standing in front of the door of this Instance Dungeon, Chu Ge clasped his arm together and began to think about the battle tactics of fighting the Boss.
This would be the most challenging battle among all the Boss battles he had fought so far. First of all, even though the four Undead Warriors were not as mighty as the Undead Knight, they were stronger than ordinary skeletons. Also, there were four of them. If he were to fight them head-on, it would be tough to win.
Although traps could be used, the problem was that there was also a Boss present. From the previous grave robber Greymouth, it could be seen that at least on the surface, there was nothing wrong with the intelligence of human-shaped monsters. If that Auguste directed these four Undead Warriors to go around the snap trap formation, then Chu Ge would suffer a disaster.
Therefore, he had to get rid of these four Undead Warriors first.
But even if he were to get rid of the four bodyguards, he still had to face the Necromancer Apprentice.
Chu Ge made a list of magic that a Necromancer Apprentice knew one by one in his head, then thought about the ways to deal with them, respectively.
The Negative Energy Shot was probably the single lethal magic attack that was on the same level as the fireball; therefore, it should be no problem to resist one or two shots. However, if he were to be hit with more shots, then it would be unsafe for him. After all, he did not have any resistance. If he drank health potions, he might be able to resist a few more shots, but it would be no more than five at most. To be on the safe side, it would be best if he got rid of the Necromancer Apprentice within three shots.
For the Protective Shield, Chu Ge could probably break through it with close-range attacks. After all, the enemy was just an Apprentice Magician, so it was impossible to have mastered very powerful magic. Therefore, Chu Ge would probably be able to block the first two or three attacks. If he attacked with Poised to Strike, he could probably breakthrough with one attack and then directly kill the Boss. The life force of a magician Boss was usually short. Also, because it was a human and not a dead spirit, as long as their shield could be broken through, they could probably be killed with two to three attacks.
The Undead Summoning and Corpse Resurrection were not a big problem. Whether it was summoning the undead or resurrecting corpses, they both needed time to be cast. No matter if it was zombies or skeletons, their combat strength was pretty weak, and it would take a while for them to become troublesome for Chu Ge when they fight. As long as they did not show up in large numbers, Chu Ge would not be afraid. If he moved quickly, he should be able to kill the Boss before the small monsters gathered.
Therefore, the critical issue was to be fast and minimize the number of spells cast by the enemy.
The biggest problem would be the fifth magic power, the Blind Curse. Although this magic did not have any damage, it could make the target go blind for a short time. If Chu Ge was to be cursed, then the Necromancer Apprentice could summon a bunch of skeletons and zombies to surround and attack him or shoot from a distance with Negative Energy Shots.
If Chu Ge had teammates, then it would have been fine, but he was by himself. Also, he did not have any Summoning Beasts; otherwise, he might have…Huh? Wait a minute. Who said there were no Summoning Beasts?
Chu Ge suddenly got a trace of inspiration. Although he did not have any Summoning Beasts, he could spend money to buy one. He quickly left the Instance dungeon, then opened the web page and searched ‘sale of large dogs.’
Very quickly, he found what he was looking for—a dog breeding place.
After looking at the pictures, he found that there were many kinds of dogs sold in this breeding place, but most of them were cute-looking pet dogs.
He added the customer service QQ of the breeding place, “Hello, I want to buy a few dogs who can protect my home. The fiercer, the better. What would you recommend?”
“Yes, we have all kinds of dogs here. For protecting your home, we have Bulldogs, Dobermanns, and German Shepherds. If you want something a bit cheaper, we have our own Tugou. What kind of dog do you want?” With that, a bunch of pictures were sent to Chu Ge.
