Wei Yingying believed.
There were still secrets about Lu Ran she didn’t know.
But she didn’t ask.
By now, she fully understood Lu Ran’s significance to Dragon Xia.
This was also why Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and Liu Xinxin—the three guild leaders—were leveling Lu Ran together.
Moreover.
Now it seemed, the timing of Yu Cangqing shutting down cross-border teleportation coincided precisely with when new Awakened become Awakened.
It was easy to infer that Yu Cangqing did this to protect Lu Ran!
So, not only were Ye Hongyi and the other two involved, but even Yu Cangqing’s Heavenly Path Alliance was part of it!
Dragon Xia’s four major guilds, fully supporting a single person!
This meant Lu Ran’s backing was the nation!
And things involving the national level… unless invited by the nation to participate, Wei Yingying had no right to access information about Lu Ran.
She was smart; she instantly thought of all this.
If the Misty Valley hadn’t coincidentally met Lu Ran’s leveling needs, Wei Yingying probably wouldn’t have had the slightest chance to come into contact with any information about Lu Ran.
Not far away, Lei Tai soon finished looting.
After agreeing to divide the spoils that evening, it was time to start farming monsters.
Lu Ran looked at the wandering corpses all around. He wasn’t in a hurry to control them en masse for farming.
Instead, he asked, “Why are there so many monsters in this Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses? This looks way more awesome than the Misty Valley.”
Although the monster types were monotonous, the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses was larger, with far greater numbers, densely packed!
Lu Ran had never seen a farming area with such high density in the wild.
It was way more exaggerated than the Misty Valley!
In comparison, this place was a farming paradise!
“Originally, there weren’t this many. The natural spawns in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses were few, not much different from ordinary wilderness.”
Wei Yingying patiently explained.
“But in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses, many dormant corpses are buried beneath the earth, requiring area-of-effect skills to trigger them. My Lifebound Gu happens to be able to do that and continuously spread and extend.”
Through Wei Yingying’s explanation.
The situation that occurred here earlier became clear to Lu Ran.
Listening to it made Lu Ran feel a pang of fear.
He hadn’t realized the situation here was so dangerous!
Wei Yingying triggered the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses with the intention of taking those Eagle Country Awakened down with her!
“Also, the regular monsters here spawn normally. The corpses beneath the earth require a long time to gradually accumulate. After this wave is farmed, it would take at least a few months to reach this scale again,” Wei Yingying said.
This also dispelled Lu Ran’s thought of farming here long-term.
“Then let’s start farming. The visibility here isn’t much different from the Misty Valley. It would be great if we could fly,” Lu Ran sighed.
Being able to fly would allow an overview of the entire situation.
Precise control over skill range and shape, full coverage!
Even using the Bone Throne trait to control would be clear at a glance.
He was still thinking about flying.
At this point.
Lu Ran suddenly remembered the Sprite Wings Liu Xinxin mentioned earlier.
So he quickly asked, “Sister Xinxin, you mentioned the Sprite Wings before. Are they really that hard to get?”
Liu Xinxin shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
“In the data-based world, the area has expanded a lot, and many races have emerged.”
“For example, the Sprite race I belong to, the Hill Dwarfs in the northwest region, and so on.”
“Each race has its own sacred artifact.”
“The Sprite Wings of the Sprite race, the Dwarven Forge of the Dwarven race—these are sacred artifacts.”
“Strictly speaking, sacred artifacts aren’t considered equipment, but they occupy equipment slots.”
“Currently, it’s unknown whether they would enter the global equipment rankings if equipped by a human Awakened.”
“Because, since the global datafication, no one has ever had the qualification to obtain a sacred artifact.”
…
As for the Sprite Wings.
There’s only one way to obtain them: gain the recognition of the Sprite Queen.
But for a human to gain the recognition of the Sprite race is as difficult as climbing to the heavens!
The Sprite race and the human race have no major enmity, but they don’t get along either. The Sprite race’s stereotypical impression of humans is: cunning, deceitful, utterly untrustworthy!
Hearing this.
Lu Ran curled his lip. This was clearly impossible to obtain.
“Let’s farm monsters. Even if you can’t fly, I can send you up!” Lei Tai suddenly asked mysteriously.
Send him up?
Lu Ran was puzzled. What did he mean?
“My ‘Pillar to the Heavens’! I’ll prop you right up, then you can have an overview. That small hill over there isn’t in the center of the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses, so it’s useless. Let’s go directly to the middle of the forest. I’ll use ‘Pillar to the Heavens’ to lift you up, and you start farming!” Lei Tai explained.
After listening.
Ye Hongyi said in surprise, “Rare. That noggin of yours can actually come up with such a move.”
Lei Tai blinked. “Is that a compliment?”
Ye Hongyi waved her hand. “Of course it’s a compliment. And, that thing of yours isn’t called ‘Pillar to the Heavens’, it’s called ‘Earthen Totem’! Always speaking without restraint. It wouldn’t be good if you corrupt my little brother.”
This made everyone laugh.
Afterwards.
Following Lei Tai’s method, they headed to the center of the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses.
After Wei Yingying awakened the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses with her Lifebound Gu, it was practically a living hell for any Awakened.
But with Lu Ran in the party, the process became simple.
It was as if they weren’t in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses, but strolling in a backyard garden.
Wherever they passed, with a single glance from Lu Ran, the surrounding corpses all became polite and respectful.
Before long.
“Here we are,” Wei Yingying said, looking around.
Her Lifebound Gu permeated the earth; she could sense the scale and specific location of the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses.
Then.
Lei Tai took a deep breath.
He and Lu Ran stepped out of the group.
“Stand firm. Don’t get launched!” Lei Tai instructed.
Then he thrust his twin shields into the ground.
Forming an iron barrel that enclosed Lu Ran and himself.
Next.
“Pillar to the Heavens!” Lei Tai habitually bellowed.
Boom~
A thick totem pillar instantly rose from beneath their feet, directly lifting Lei Tai and Lu Ran upwards.
The massive force almost made Lu Ran faceplant.
But what needed the most worry was the huge inertia after the totem pillar stopped.
Fortunately, Lei Tai was prepared.
The moment the totem pillar erupted from the ground.
“Bright King Crushes Mountains!” Lei Tai murmured in a low voice.
Boom!
A powerful oppressive force emanated from Lei Tai.
His feet directly embedded into the ground, while he held onto Lu Ran tightly.
Though it sounds long, all this happened in the blink of an eye.
The totem pillar stopped. Lu Ran wasn’t launched off.
Lei Tai breathed a sigh of relief. “It worked! Come on, Lu Ran, start farming!”
After saying that, he retracted his two shields.
Instantly, everything was clear at a glance.
Lu Ran turned to look.
This height was perfect!
His line of sight could almost cover the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses!
“Alright, let’s farm!” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
The densely packed corpses throughout the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses were all experience points!
