103: Head to Thunder Canyon
Song Ming made his move.
There were no Dragon monsters left in Boiling Sea Lake, and the dungeon entrance wasn't there either.
He immediately left, heading towards where Ning Hua and the others were hiding.
This time, Song Ming seemed unhurried.
After all, one incorrect location had been ruled out, so Thunderbolt Canyon was very likely where the dungeon entrance was located.
Moreover, the number and Rank of monsters in Thunderbolt Canyon were even higher than in Boiling Sea Lake.
Even if Professionals from other academies teamed up, there was no way they could break in.
Naturally, they wouldn't discover the Dragon Island Instance.
In other words, among all the Professionals currently on Forbidden Dragon Island, only Song Ming could easily enter Thunderbolt Canyon.
It was virtually impossible for anyone else to enter the dungeon and complete the trial mission.
So Song Ming was not in a hurry.
Ten minutes later.
He arrived in front of Ning Hua and the others, only to see them all looking at him with strange expressions, as if greatly surprised.
It was no wonder they reacted this way.
After all, the scenes that had just unfolded were still vivid in their minds.
First, Boiling Sea Lake was suddenly enveloped in a purplish-red lightning, and all the Dragon monsters on the shore were killed.
Then, the giant Dragon BOSS in the lake was enraged, charging ashore with a powerful Aura.
But it was directly confined in place for three minutes, eventually turning into a pile of dust.
The Professional who made the move was undeniably powerful.
What made them even more curious was how Song Ming had survived such a powerful attack.
And he looked completely unharmed.
Ning Hua was baffled and asked directly, “Junior Brother Song, you infiltrated Boiling Sea Lake alone just now. Did you find the Professional who made the move?”
“Professional?” Song Ming showed a look of confusion, then suddenly realized.
It seemed they thought a strange Professional had made a move, clearing out the monsters in Boiling Sea Lake.
Little did they know, this powerful Professional was Song Ming himself.
Song Ming was too lazy to explain to them.
His main purpose for this trip was to farm monsters and level up; completing the mission was secondary.
Even if he confessed to them that he did it, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Why should Song Ming waste time proving it?
“Oh, I didn’t see anyone. Later, when I saw the monsters in Boiling Sea Lake were cleared, I bravely ventured to the bottom of the lake to check and found that the dungeon entrance was not there!”
Song Ming said indifferently.
Ning Hua's face showed disappointment; she had been hoping to befriend that mysterious Professional.
To be able to kill the BOSS of Boiling Sea Lake, one would have to be at least a Rank one hundred Professional.
Seeing the BOSS die, Guo Jun regained his previous arrogant expression and said coldly, “Hmph, you’re really lucky!”
Song Ming treated his words as nonsense and paid him no mind.
He turned to Ning Hua and said, “Senior Sister, since Boiling Sea Lake isn’t it, let’s go to Thunderbolt Canyon next!”
Ning Hua pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“The danger level of Thunderbolt Canyon is much higher than Boiling Sea Lake. Junior Brother, don’t be so reckless this time. You won’t always be this lucky!”
She warned him with a serious expression.
Song Ming knew she was worried about him, smiled, and didn’t refute her.
He never believed in luck.
He only believed in his own strength.
The group set off again, their destination being Thunderbolt Canyon, located in the center of the island.
According to the records, Thunderbolt Canyon was steep and perpetually shrouded in thunderclouds, constantly being bombarded by lightning.
Hence, it was named Thunderbolt Canyon.
The various monsters living in the canyon all had very high lightning element resistance.
They were not afraid of ordinary lightning Spell attacks.
In the deepest part of the canyon, a clan of Thunder Giant Dragons lived.
They were born immune to lightning attacks and mastered various lightning powers, making them extremely powerful in combat.
No Professional team dared to provoke them.
This was also why Ning Hua repeatedly warned them; Thunderbolt Canyon was far more dangerous than Boiling Sea Lake.
On the way.
Song Ming was still at the very back of the team.
Jiang Rong walked beside him, occasionally scanning him with suspicious eyes.
That style of combat and that perverted confinement skill.
The more she thought about it, the more familiar it felt.
One must know that during the hidden level of Demon City, Song Ming had once used this skill.
At that time, he was still just an Aura Master, a support Professional!
“Just say what you want to say, why do you keep staring at me!” Song Ming said somewhat helplessly.
Jiang Rong’s little secret was exposed, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, “Hey, that mysterious Professional, could it be you?!”
Song Ming nodded generously.
Since Jiang Rong had guessed it, he had nothing to hide.
Being timid was not his style.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Hehe, I knew it was you! So why didn’t you say anything just now?”
Song Ming said indifferently, “If I told them, do you think they would believe me?”
Jiang Rong blinked, thought seriously for a while, and finally shook her head, saying, “If I hadn’t witnessed your methods, I wouldn’t believe it either!”
“Instead of wasting time explaining to them, it’s better to hurry to Thunderbolt Canyon. The dungeon entrance is most likely in the canyon!”
“Mm-hmm!”
Jiang Rong nodded in agreement, feeling a surge of secret delight in her heart.
She recalled clearing Demon City with Song Ming; she hadn't contributed at all but had reaped considerable benefits.
Now, teaming up with Song Ming again.
She could once again slack off with a clear conscience; Song Ming would handle everything anyway.
She just needed to cheer him on from the sidelines.
At this moment, Ning Hua, who was at the very front of the team, suddenly stopped.
The communicators equipped between the teams suddenly rang.
Ning Hua eagerly answered, thinking there was news about the Dragon Island Instance.
But she heard an anxious male voice from the other end.
“Team Leader Ning, this isn’t good. This trial mission isn’t just for our Divine Xia Academy personnel!”
Ning Hua’s eyes narrowed, and she said, “Impossible. This is a Forbidden Ground controlled by the academy. How could others get in?”
The man continued, “Those don’t seem to be Professionals from our country. Their clothing is different from our academy’s people. They seem to be from Japan!”
“Japan?” Ning Hua’s expression turned somewhat grim.
Although this Forbidden Ground was controlled by the academy, its location was somewhat awkward, being at the junction of the Japan and Great Xia Country sea areas.
So it was not ruled out that Professionals from Japan had also received news about the spring of life.
And sent people to infiltrate this island to compete with them.
“I understand. What about the dungeon entrance? Have you found it?” Ning Hua asked again.
“No, apart from Thunderbolt Canyon and Boiling Sea Lake, our people have searched everywhere else and found nothing!” the man said dejectedly.
Ning Hua nodded, “Now, gather all the academy personnel and meet near Thunderbolt Canyon. The dungeon entrance should be in the canyon!”
“Okay!” The man didn’t ask why, simply agreeing.
If Ning Hua said so, she must be confident.
Moreover, with Professionals from Japan infiltrating, they had to be on guard.
