100: Start spawning monsters
Ning Hua and the others didn't dare to get too close, staying at least a hundred meters away from the Boiling Sea Lake, fearing they might attract the attention of the monsters lurking there.
At the same time, they began observing their surroundings.
After all, the entrance to the Dragon Island Instance might be hidden here.
However, to their disappointment, aside from the boiling giant lake and hundreds of dragon-shaped monsters,
There was nothing else out of the ordinary.
Seeing this, Guo Jun couldn't help but grumble, "There's no Dragon Island Instance here at all; Song Ming lied to us!"
Ning Hua, hearing this, showed no particular emotion on her face.
After all, the Dragon Island Instance wasn't that easy to find.
It was quite normal to come up empty-handed now.
She then looked at Song Ming, "Junior, since it's not here, should we go take a look at Thunderbolt Canyon?"
Song Ming's eyes were burning with fervor at this moment.
These monsters were all his experience; how could he just leave!
He immediately shook his head and speculated, "Senior Ning, do you think the dungeon entrance might be at the bottom of the lake?"
"The bottom of the lake?"
Ning Hua was somewhat surprised and uncertain upon hearing this.
It wasn't impossible to rule out that possibility.
And if it were at the bottom of the lake, then it would be understandable that they hadn't found the dungeon entrance.
"Yes, I think we can go explore the bottom of the lake!" Song Ming continued immediately.
Ning Hua immediately shook her head and refused, "No, that's too dangerous!"
Even on the shore at the edge of the lake, there were so many monsters.
It would be impossible to sneak in silently.
Even if they got into the lake, there would likely be even more monsters inside, and they might even encounter a Dragon.
Therefore, Ning Hua refused without hesitation.
Guo Jun, however, scoffed mercilessly, "Song Ming, you make it sound easy. Even if you could sneak in, one wrong move and you'd be surrounded by a large group of monsters."
"If something happens to someone in the team, how will you take responsibility?"
Song Ming glanced at him indifferently and said, "Heh, I can go alone. If there's no dungeon entrance at the bottom of the lake, then it won't be too late for us to leave!"
Ning Hua, hearing this, looked at Song Ming with a puzzled expression.
Wasn't this just going to die?
Are all new students this reckless now?
Ning Hua naturally couldn't just watch Song Ming get into trouble. She quickly said, "Junior, don't be impulsive. Even if the dungeon entrance is at the bottom of the lake, if we can't get in, neither can anyone else!"
Song Ming smiled.
He was not an impulsive person.
With the enhancement of his full set of golden equipment, his spiritual attribute had already broken through the five-thousand mark, approaching six thousand.
A Rank One Archmage probably couldn't compare to him.
And the increase in spiritual attribute also led to a significant increase in his Spell damage.
The damage of the Hong-level Heaven and Earth Seal was as high as over three hundred million.
Coupled with a one hundred percent Spell critical hit rate and the damage bonus from equipment,
Increasing the damage to five hundred million was easy.
Even if a Rank One Dragon stood before him, Song Ming could at least kill him once.
Therefore, he would only go with absolute certainty.
Moreover, besides the Heaven and Earth Seal, Song Ming also held two Forbidden Spells.
Both required him to kill enough monsters to be effective.
So, he was determined to go to this Boiling Sea Lake.
No one could stop him.
"Senior Ning, no need to say more. Since I dare to go, I definitely have confidence."
"I have a skill that can prevent these monsters from detecting my whereabouts, absolutely foolproof! Don't worry!"
Song Ming said with a smile.
At the same time, he thought to himself.
With one Heaven and Earth Seal skill, all the monsters in the Boiling Sea Lake would turn into corpses.
Naturally, they wouldn't discover his whereabouts.
Ning Hua still wanted to say something, but Guo Jun sneered and interrupted, "In that case, we'll wait for your good news, Junior!"
Since Song Ming was going to take such a risk, he naturally had no reason to stop him.
On the contrary, he was very happy to see the current situation.
New students, they always had to suffer a little to learn and grow!
Guo Jun's lips curled up, already eager to see Song Ming's desperate escape.
Ning Hua was a little worried, then took out a sapphire blue pearl from her backpack space and handed it to Song Ming.
"This is a green-grade Water-Repelling Pearl. Its effect is very simple: it allows you to breathe freely underwater without being affected!"
Song Ming didn't decline and accepted it.
Jiang Rong, seeing him about to leave, couldn't help but say, "Song Ming, be careful!"
Jiang Rong was already accustomed to his actions.
She knew that Song Ming wouldn't do such dangerous things without absolute certainty.
But she still couldn't help but admonish him.
Song Ming smiled gently, then nodded and walked towards the Boiling Sea Lake.
Seeing him walk away,
In the team, Gao Yuan said with some concern, "What if Song Ming is exposed and attracts those high-Rank monsters? What should we do? Should we hide further away?"
To this, Guo Jun nodded in agreement, "Gao Yuan is right, we should hide further away. I think that new student is very unreliable!"
Jiang Rong, hearing this, was displeased and retorted sarcastically, "Having a teammate like you is what's truly unreliable!"
Guo Jun immediately glared at her fiercely, "Who are you talking about? Hmph, if you hadn't brought Song Ming over, would we be so anxious!"
Seeing that everyone was about to start arguing,
Ning Hua frowned, pressed her right hand to her black-rimmed glasses, and said, "Alright, everyone, stop arguing. Trust Song Ming, just wait here!"
Guo Jun looked at Ning Hua with extreme dissatisfaction, not understanding why she always favored Song Ming, this new student.
At the same time, the resentment in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
It could erupt at any moment.
...
As Song Ming left the team, he also exited the team status.
He hadn't made a move before because he didn't want Guo Jun, who was in the same team, to get any experience.
After all, this person had constantly made things difficult for him, so how could he let this person reap the benefits?
Moreover, when in team status,
The experience gained from killing monsters had to be evenly divided among six people, and the Materials and items dropped were picked up by the person who made the final kill.
Song Ming certainly didn't want to share his experience with others.
He wasn't that generous.
Now that he had left the team, there were a large number of high-Rank monsters ahead for him to gain experience.
He believed his Rank would quickly increase again.
After applying the Divine Speed Magic Ring to himself, Song Ming circled around to the other side of the lake.
He stopped when he was still about fifty meters from the edge of the Boiling Sea Lake.
A rough glance showed that the entire lake covered an area of at most six hundred square meters.
Compared to his casting range, it was more than enough.
To wipe out all the monsters inside in one fell swoop, Song Ming planned to first test with the Blazing Sun Divine Thunder.
Currently, the damage of this skill had reached over ten million.
It was enough to instantly kill all monsters below Rank 80.
Moreover, seawater conducts electricity, especially boiling seawater, so the damage caused by the Blazing Sun Divine Thunder was estimated to increase by at least another 50%.
Even if it couldn't kill the BOSS inside, it would be enough to draw them all out.
This would prevent the BOSS from being scared and running directly to the bottom of the sea after he cast a skill, which would be a pity!
Song Ming looked at the boiling lake in the distance, his eyes filled with fervor.
So, without further ado,
Let's start grinding monsters!
