After obtaining the Elf Wings, Lu Ran had tried flying before, but this was his first time flying this high.
Looking down.
Not only did Lu Ran not feel afraid of heights, he actually felt incredibly refreshed!
The Elf Wings behind him were also not difficult to control at all; they felt just like his own arms, which he could manipulate freely.
On the ground.
Countless dwarves were all looking up at Lu Ran in the sky.
“Is that the human necromancer?”
“Haven’t you heard? He’s the one who went into the cave, completed the mission, and brought back the Eternal Flame!”
“What a legendary figure! So it’s him!”
“It’s a shame we didn’t have time to forge our equipment before the Corrupted Gryphons arrived.”
“What is that human trying to do? Take on the Corrupted Gryphons all by himself?”
“He managed to get the Elf Wings from the nature elves; he can’t be an ordinary person, right?”
“No matter how strong he is, facing the Corrupted Gryphons alone means death!”
“Sigh, turns out he’s just a hothead. I thought he was something special. Let’s just hope for the best and get ready to fight!”
……
Surprisingly, there were quite a few dwarves who didn’t think highly of Lu Ran.
That was easy to understand, though.
After all,
while Lu Ran and the Dwarf King went to the cave, the dwarves in the city had no idea what was happening there.
Without seeing it with their own eyes, even if Lu Ran brought back the Eternal Flame, they wouldn’t realize just how terrifying this human necromancer’s combat power truly was!
In their eyes,
he was probably just a lucky human necromancer who had obtained the Elf Wings from the elves, wasn’t weak in combat, and managed to retrieve the Eternal Flame.
That was it!
By this time, the Dwarf King had already climbed up to the spire platform of the Boulder Fortress with Ye Hongyi and the others.
This was the highest point in Blackrock City.
It was also the command post the Dwarf King used in the past when facing the Corrupted Gryphons.
“Does Blackrock City of the dwarves not have a protective shield?” Lei Tai asked in confusion.
“No, it doesn’t. I’ve heard of protective shields, but those are unique to humans. Although dwarves can forge equipment, we can’t create protective shields. Besides, Blackrock City isn’t the dwarves’ original homeland; it’s just a temporary shelter we built after being forced to leave the underground. We still plan to return to the cave to live,” the Dwarf King explained.
No wonder they had such a hard time dealing with the Corrupted Gryphons.
Natural enemies are natural enemies.
It was like the helplessness of a group of rabbits facing a flock of eagles, wasn’t it?
And at that moment,
the Corrupted Gryphons had already arrived at high speed above Blackrock City.
Lu Ran was the first to face them.
Seeing the swarm of Corrupted Gryphons rushing toward him,
he casually waved his hand in the air, and the Dinghai Trident instantly appeared in his hand.
At that moment, flapping his wings, Lu Ran felt as if he had become some kind of being like Lei Zhenzi or Nezha.
The next second,
Lu Ran shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring, charging straight into the swarm of Corrupted Gryphons!
This scene gave all the dwarves a huge fright!
It was already incredibly difficult to take on a swarm of Corrupted Gryphons alone, and now he was recklessly charging right into them?
Was he just asking for trouble?
But their doubts were quickly dispelled.
Lu Ran almost completely drew the attention of all the Corrupted Gryphons.
The entire swarm began to contract, all of them focusing their attacks on Lu Ran!
Lu Ran, however, wasn’t in a hurry to control them.
Since he wasn’t losing any health and all the damage was being taken by his undead army, Lu Ran simply went all out!
He unleashed a Bone Storm in the air, enveloping the entire swarm of Corrupted Gryphons and began a frenzied harvest!
Before long, the lower-level Corrupted Gryphons started dying!
[Killed Corrupted Gryphon, gained 9300 experience!]
[Public mission reward, gained 18600 experience!]
[Killed Corrupted Gryphon, gained 11000 experience!]
[Public mission reward, gained 22000 experience!]
[Killed Corrupted Gryphon, gained 8500 experience!]
[Public mission reward, gained 17000 experience!]
……
Just as he thought!
The public mission reward meant triple experience for each kill.
The only pity was that Lu Ran had originally thought he would get an extra triple experience on top of the kill, but it turned out not to be the case. Instead, each kill gave triple experience total.
The public mission only gave double the kill experience.
But even so, Lu Ran was more than satisfied.
On average, each monster gave nearly 30,000 experience!
And the dense swarm of Corrupted Gryphons in front of him numbered far more than just a few thousand?
There were easily over ten thousand!
As for exactly how many tens of thousands, he wasn’t sure, but it would definitely be over a hundred million experience!
Just as Lu Ran was getting excited,
a large group of Corrupted Gryphons, unable to squeeze into the encirclement, gradually lost their aggro on Lu Ran.
They went back to their original target and started diving toward Blackrock City like rain!
The dwarves, who had been watching the spectacle, instantly turned pale!
“Oh no, the Corrupted Gryphons are coming down!”
“My god, that human necromancer is terrifying! How is he still alive?”
“Is that a necromancer skill? It can actually cover all the Corrupted Gryphons!”
“Forget about the necromancer for now, get ready to fight!”
“The necromancer is helping us by taking on a large number of the Corrupted Gryphons. For the ones coming down, let’s work together and kill these beasts!”
……
At the same time,
on the top platform of the Boulder Fortress,
the Dwarf King, seeing this, immediately pulled out his weapon and firearm.
He roared, “All dwarves, prepare for battle!”
Instantly, all the dwarves followed the order, each entering a state of combat readiness, their eyes fixed on the large number of Corrupted Gryphons diving down.
But just then,
Lu Ran, peering through the gaps in the Corrupted Gryphon swarm, quickly noticed what was happening.
He slipped out of the swarm, looking down at the Corrupted Gryphons that were already approaching Blackrock City.
“My bad, my bad… I was careless,” Lu Ran muttered to himself.
Because the distance was too great, the Bone Storm couldn’t reach and kill those Corrupted Gryphons that had gone down.
So,
Lu Ran swept his gaze over them and instantly took control of those descending gryphons!
From the dwarves’ perspective,
just as a fierce battle was about to begin,
the necromancer suddenly burst out of the Corrupted Gryphon swarm.
Then, the next second,
the large group of Corrupted Gryphons that had been diving down suddenly paused in mid-air, hit the brakes, and then shot back up into the sky, returning to the swarm!
But this time, their attack targets were no longer Lu Ran, but the other Corrupted Gryphons!
At the same time,
to be safe, Lu Ran began weaving in his Touch of the Dead.
This was also an experiment for Lu Ran, and surprisingly, it worked!
The Touch of the Dead could be triggered in the air as well!
All the Corrupted Gryphons were rooted in place, unable to move, and could only passively endure the cleansing of Lu Ran’s Bone Storm.
Inspired by the effect of the Touch of the Dead,
Lu Ran had an idea. He summoned ten enhanced skeletons using Legion’s Guardian and threw them out.
Of course, skeletons couldn’t fly, but Lu Ran didn’t expect them to.
At the same time he threw them out, he used Corpse Explosion!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
……
What do you call undead fireworks? This is undead fireworks!
With that, combined with the endlessly stacking Bone Storm, Lu Ran’s farming speed increased dramatically!
He began tossing out large numbers of skeletons from the space in his sleeve.
Hundreds were thrown out, triggering massive corpse explosions in the air!
Down below, Ye Hongyi and the others, and even the Dwarf King, were completely dumbfounded!
Ye Hongyi said, half laughing and half crying, “This guy is probably the first necromancer in the world to use skeletons as firecrackers…”
