Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 90
Lu Ran brought the bracelet closer for inspection.
The bracelet formed by the Titan Python was exquisitely crafted, dark and gleaming like obsidian beads.
The snake’s head bit its own tail, the entire form solidified.
But Lu Ran could feel the powerful life force emanating from the bracelet.
With just a single thought from him, the Titan Python could instantly revert to its original form, ready to be controlled at will.
The other three guild leaders gathered around as well.
They looked enviously at the Titan Python bracelet on Lu Ran’s wrist.
This wasn’t equipment formed from the Titan Python; it was the Titan Python itself.
“I’m speechless. You’re now carrying a level 60 Titan Python around with you!” Lei Tai said, his voice full of envy.
But if he had to carry one, he probably couldn’t handle it.
After all, Lei Tai was inherently terrified of snakes.
If he really had a Titan Python coiled around his wrist, he’d likely be unable to sleep.
“I was originally worried about how to take it out, but I never imagined the Titan Python could do this,” Liu Xinxin also remarked in amazement.
Before this, she had never heard of anything similar!
After all.
No class had ever been able to control a dungeon boss before.
“It seems now that the Titan Python was always here, just in a dormant state. After clearing all the snake monsters in the inner hall, the boss trigger activated, causing it to evolve from its static state into its true form,” Ye Hongyi analyzed.
As they were talking.
A faint, rustling sound suddenly started coming from around them.
Puzzled, they turned to look and discovered that scattered snake monsters had begun to respawn.
“But the Titan Python isn’t dead, is it?” Lu Ran asked, somewhat surprised.
He easily used Death’s Touch to control the newly spawned snake monsters.
“Even though it’s not dead, you’ve taken ownership of it. The Titan Python effectively no longer exists here from the system’s perspective. The data-driven world judges this condition as the dungeon being fully cleared, so it starts respawning monsters,” Liu Xinxin explained.
Although she hadn’t cleared Ten Thousand Snakes Hall before.
Judging from other dungeon areas, the rules were probably as Liu Xinxin described.
“I see. Should we keep farming here then?” Lu Ran asked.
The experience here was rich; it was a great spot!
“Unnecessary. The respawn rate in dungeon areas is quite slow. It won’t fully repopulate for a while, so there’s no point staying. We have the Titan Python’s venom sac now. Let’s deliver it to the Grass Ghost Granny first, then we’ll go farm in Misty Barrier Valley,” Ye Hongyi said, shaking her head.
After that, they ignored the respawning snake monsters around them.
To save time, they directly left the inner hall.
Outer Hall.
Wei Yingying and the others, who had been waiting here, noticed snake monsters starting to respawn around them.
They retreated from the outer hall area.
And waited outside.
The monsters in Ten Thousand Snakes Hall couldn’t leave the dungeon area.
“Respawning has started. That means they defeated the Titan Python,” Wei Yingying murmured thoughtfully.
She genuinely hadn’t expected this!
It started as a spur-of-the-moment challenge, but Ye Hongyi had agreed so cleanly.
She thought Ye Hongyi was just being stubborn to save face.
But it turned out, she truly had the capability to clear Ten Thousand Snakes Hall!
Over the past few years, to nurture her Lifebound Gu, Wei Yingying had organized several expeditions to conquer Ten Thousand Snakes Hall.
But they had all failed.
They couldn’t even get into the inner hall!
This showed just how difficult Ten Thousand Snakes Hall was!
And yet, Ye Hongyi and the other two, along with a level 20-something Necromancer, had charged straight in and swiftly taken down the Titan Python!
At that moment.
The group from the inner hall also walked out.
Suddenly spotting Wei Yingying and her group waiting in the outer hall, Ye Hongyi was momentarily surprised.
She raised an eyebrow and said, “What? So eager for the Titan Python’s venom sac that you followed us here?”
Hearing this.
Wei Yingying’s temper flared slightly.
She replied offhandedly, “Eager? Not really. I’ve been failing to clear it for years, I’m used to it by now. If I weren’t worried you’d stubbornly get yourself killed in Ten Thousand Snakes Hall just to save face, I wouldn’t have bothered bringing people here. After all, you’re still from the village. I came to collect your body.”
Ye Hongyi curled her lip.
“Just Ten Thousand Snakes Hall? For us, it was far too easy. Here, this is the Titan Python venom sac you wanted. Take it. Can we enter Misty Barrier Valley now?” she said, casually tossing an item over.
Even though she knew they had killed the Titan Python, seeing the actual venom sac in her hand still surprised Wei Yingying.
“You’ve done me a great favor. I’ll take you to Misty Barrier Valley now,” Wei Yingying said, nodding with satisfaction.
Then she looked meaningfully at Lu Ran.
But ultimately didn’t say anything more about it.
As she turned, she added, “But I must warn you, Misty Barrier Valley is extremely dangerous. It’s been almost completely sealed off for the past two years. Even if you enter, you won’t be able to farm monsters in large numbers to gain experience. The speed might even be slower than running dungeons.”
Ye Hongyi just waved her hand. “No need for you to worry about that. We have our own methods and considerations.”
Others might not be able to farm monsters in large numbers for experience, but with Lu Ran here, that wasn’t a problem at all!
Furthermore, the monsters in Misty Barrier Valley varied greatly in level, and there were plenty of high-level ones.
The experience gain would absolutely pour in like a waterfall.
Hearing this, Wei Yingying glanced at Lu Ran again.
Among these four, Wei Yingying knew Ye Hongyi the best, and she knew Ye Hongyi didn’t have that capability. The other two guild leaders’ strengths weren’t much of a secret either.
Among combat classes, they were very strong.
Entering Misty Barrier Valley wouldn’t be a problem for them.
But farming monsters there in large numbers for experience without any issues? Impossible!
The only one she didn’t know and was unfamiliar with was this Lu Ran.
A level 20-something Necromancer!
Of course.
Under normal circumstances, Wei Yingying wouldn’t pay attention to a level 20-something Necromancer.
But these past few days, the matter of the mysterious Necromancer had been causing quite a stir.
And then the three guild leaders personally brought a Necromancer here to power-level him… it was hard not to be suspicious.
But Wei Yingying was a smart person.
“In that case, let’s go,” Wei Yingying said, nodding.
Behind them.
Lu Ran asked curiously, “Sis Xinxin, what kind of place is Misty Barrier Valley? Why does it require permission? Is it a monster-spawning area managed by combat classes?”
Liu Xinxin shook her head.
“Combat classes themselves can’t manage it. Misty Barrier Valley is in the Southern Border and is considered a wild area. The monsters there are dense, and the experience is high, but in the past, many Gu Masters went there to level up and often encountered dangers and died. As the Grass Ghost Granny, Wei Yingying had Array Masters set up a barrier there and arranged for its maintenance. She doesn’t allow Gu Masters to enter easily, so the access permission naturally lies with her.”
Ultimately, it was to prevent reckless Gu Masters from going in to take risks and get themselves killed.
Lu Ran finally understood.
He nodded and said, “I see. It seems what I learned at the academy really is just the surface level of this world.”
The real world of combat classes was far more intricate and fascinating than what Lu Ran had studied!
Not long after.
Wei Yingying brought them to Misty Barrier Valley.
The narrow valley entrance had structures built in the village style, surrounded by a barrier to prevent wild monsters from approaching.
Inside the buildings, high-level Gu Masters stood guard.
Wei Yingying glanced at the scene inside the valley entrance, took a deep breath, and said, “We’re here. But I truly don’t understand. Farming here to power-level someone isn’t a great idea. Why are you so insistent on this place?”
