Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 88

“It’s so quiet, and we’re right at the Hall of Ten Thousand Snakes,” someone voiced Wei Yingying’s exact thoughts.

Wei Yingying frowned slightly.

She looked around and said, “Even the usual monsters in this area are gone. All the way here, the few we saw seemed like they had just spawned.”

Hearing this,

the others exchanged puzzled glances.

“So, the three guild leaders cleared all the monsters along the way?” someone suggested.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Wei Yingying shook her head. “The monsters around here are generally low-level. While it’s denser near the Hall, they pose no threat to those three. There’s no need to waste time clearing them, and the experience is negligible.”

But even as she said that,

the area was undeniably empty of monsters.

“The Hall is right ahead. We’ll find out by asking,” Wei Yingying said.

With that, she quickened her pace.

Leading the group through the bushes and dense forest.

Soon, the view opened up, revealing the vast clearing of the Hall of Ten Thousand Snakes.

But what lay before them resembled a scene ravaged by an apocalyptic disaster.

The outer hall area of the Hall of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Was littered with the corpses of snake monsters. Various kinds of serpents covered the ground in a dense carpet, thick and thin, none left alive!
Some of the bodies had already begun to dissolve into data.

But large numbers of snake monsters remained in their deathly state, utterly still.

The smell of blood in the air mixed with the damp forest air, creating a clinging, bloody mist that felt deeply uncomfortable.

Wei Yingying and her companions were stunned.

They had repeatedly failed to break through the outer hall.

While the outer hall didn’t have many high-level monsters, their numbers were overwhelmingly vast.

Moreover, the inner hall was even more dangerous. Even during Wei Yingying’s previous attempts with larger groups, they never dared use all their abilities in the outer hall.

But now…

How much time had passed?

Ye Hongyi and the others had just arrived ahead of them, and Wei Yingying, curious, had followed shortly after.

“How… how was this done?”

“The outer hall is completely visible. All the snake monsters… are dead!”

“My god, how long has it been?”

“Twenty minutes? Was it even fifteen?”

…

Wei Yingying looked up towards the dark entrance of the inner hall.

She murmured, “It was them. They’ve already cleared the outer hall and moved inside.”

She originally thought Ye Hongyi agreed directly because she was unwilling to back down. But now, it seemed she genuinely had the capability!

But still…

Even for the three guild leaders, this was too exaggerated, wasn’t it?

Whether it was Ye Hongyi’s Karmic Flame Taoist,

Lei Tai’s Earth Knight,

or Liu Xinxin’s Elven High Priest…

None of them could achieve this!

And besides them, the only extra person in their team was left.

That was the Necromancer, Lu Ran!

Considering the recent uproar about the Necromancer deathmatch arena incident,

and Yu Cangqiong’s sudden decision to close cross-national teleportation…

Could it be… that Lu Ran was that mysterious Necromancer?

But he’s only in his level 20s!
She looked around. The ground was still covered with snake corpses, gradually being erased by data.

From the direction of the inner hall.
Through the dark stone gate, faint hissing and screeching sounds of snake monsters could be heard.

“They must be in the inner hall now. Such terrifying combat power. Could they actually get the Titan Python’s venom sac?” someone asked. “Should we go in and see how the experts fight?”

But Wei Yingying shook her head.

“Nothing worth seeing. The inner hall is extremely dangerous. They can handle it, but we can’t. We’re completely unprepared today. With just you few, and no Healing Gu, are you sure we wouldn’t just die instantly if we went in?”

Hearing this,

the others looked somewhat embarrassed. She was right!
They had never even been inside the inner hall. Every previous attempt on the outer hall with a large group ended in defeat.

With just them now, and no battle preparations, charging recklessly into the inner hall would be suicidal.

“Let’s wait here. Hope they come out alive,” Wei Yingying said.

Anyway, the outer hall wouldn’t respawn until the Titan Python was killed, making it perfectly safe. They would wait here.

Inside the inner hall.

It was almost impossible to see the surrounding snake monsters clearly.

Bone Storms stacked infinitely, ravaging the entire area!
To avoid accidents, Necrotic Touch was constantly cast.

Occasionally, Lu Ran would directly control nearby snake monsters, making them join the fray against others.

The clearing speed was incredibly fast!
Experience naturally soared accordingly.

Unfortunately, the inner hall was smaller. Although the monsters gave more experience, their numbers were drastically reduced.

Twenty minutes later.

[Level successfully increased to 28!]

“Level up!” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.

“Not bad, not bad, much faster than I expected. We’ve killed all the remaining monsters. Although it’s not enough to level up to 29, it’ll still give us a lot more experience,” Ye Hongyi said with satisfaction.

Liu Xinxin and Lei Tai were also pleased.

Once Lu Ran reached level 30 and could start entering team dungeons, the pace would pick up significantly.

Moreover, at level 30, Lu Ran would unlock new skills and effects.

Based on past experience, each of his effects was fundamentally overpowered. This upcoming new effect would undoubtedly cause a qualitative leap in Lu Ran’s combat power!

A few minutes later.

The inner hall was completely cleared.

The enslaved snake monsters had also killed each other.

Though there was a minor mishap—the balance wasn’t controlled perfectly, leaving one last controlled monster.

But Ye Hongyi casually finished it off.

While Lu Ran couldn’t damage monsters he controlled, as long as they weren’t in a party, Ye Hongyi could treat them as hostile units and dispose of them.

“Cleared. Where’s the Titan Python?” Lu Ran asked, looking around.

The inner hall wasn’t large to begin with.

Now that all the monsters have been cleared, everything is clear at a glance.

But there was no sign of the Titan Python.

Only a statue of a woman with a human head and snake body stood on the altar in the center.

“We’ve never defeated the Titan Python before, never even made it into the inner hall. So I don’t know. It probably requires a mechanic to trigger,” Ye Hongyi mused.

She walked up to the altar.

Staring at the statue, she continued, “This is the Snake God they worshipped before dataization.”

Lu Ran studied the statue.

“I was surprised,” she said. “I thought the Titan Python would be ferocious and terrifying, but it’s actually quite beautiful.”

Thump!
No sooner had he spoken than Ye Hongyi rapped him hard on the head.

He said, laughing and crying at the same time, “Beautiful my foot! The snake god worshipped in Miao villages is not the Titan Python. This statue is of the Goddess Nuwa. The Titan Python is a data-generated BOSS and does not exist in the original worship.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

Rumble~
The entire inner hall began to shake as if in an earthquake.
