11: Seeking death

Chapter 11: Seeking Death

Lu Ran was just thinking.

Suddenly, an assassin approached, but their target wasn't Lu Ran.

The opponent was incredibly fast, closing in almost instantly, their dagger pointed at Qin Wuyao.

They said, "Little girl, I advise you not to touch the communicator."

At this moment, Qin Wuyao had just raised her wrist, preparing to use her communicator to notify the Qin Family.

But she was stopped by the opponent.

"Dare to touch the communicator again, and I'll kill you right now!" the opponent said coldly.

The leading youth and another person also walked over.

Qin Wuyao's pretty face furrowed, and she said, "Didn't the Liang Family tell you my identity before they told you to act? My father is Qin Lie, if you dare to lay a hand on me, have you considered the consequences?"

Qin Lie's name was still quite formidable.

The expressions of all three changed.

The leading youth stared at Qin Wuyao for a moment, then sneered, "So what if you're Qin Lie's daughter? If we kill you here, who would know it was us? It's great after Global digitalization, destroying bodies and traces has become much simpler."

Seeing that even bringing up her father was useless, Qin Wuyao's heart sank to rock bottom.

Although she still didn't know how Lu Ran had cleared the dungeon, facing three high-combat assassins, this trip would likely end in disaster!

Even she, Qin Wuyao, would die here!

After speaking, the youth also raised his dagger, planning to kill Lu Ran first.

But at this moment, Lu Ran suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

The youth paused, staring at Lu Ran, and said, "What tricks are you trying to pull? I'm telling you, don't bother trying to bribe us. It's not that we're so loyal, but if we kill you, everything on your bodies will be ours. The Liang Family only wants that one piece of equipment from you."

Lu Ran shook his head and said, "Although this is the wilderness, someone might pass by. If you act here and are seen, you'll be in deep trouble. After all, killing me is one thing, but Qin Wuyao is Qin Lie's daughter."

Upon hearing this, the youth frowned.

But he also cautiously looked around and said, "Stop talking nonsense, there's no one else here!"

Lu Ran continued, "My point is, we can go to White Tiger Gully ahead. It's secluded there, and no one will ever discover it if you kill us. Moreover, Qin Wuyao and I came here because of the Rift Contract in my hand. The location marked on the contract is in White Tiger Gully. At that time, after killing the two of us, you can even run a Rift Dungeon. Why wouldn't you?"

Oh?

The youth's eyes immediately lit up.

At the same time, he also saw the Rift Contract map in Lu Ran's hand.

However, without being in a team, they couldn't see the content displayed on the map.

The other two youths couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're quite sensible, kid. You're even finding your own burial ground. But it's a pity, even so, we won't let you go," one of them said.

But Lu Ran's suggestion indeed tempted them.

White Tiger Gully was quiet, secluded, and allowed for killing without leaving a trace!

And they could run a Rift Dungeon at the same time, it was an absolute steal!

"Let's go, lead the way, otherwise we'll act now!" the youth threatened.

"Alright, let's go," Lu Ran nodded, satisfied.

He wanted to kill these three, but they were assassins, extremely fast!

The terrain here was open, and even if Lu Ran used no cooldown Corpse Explosion with Summon Undead, he would likely not be able to keep them here.

But once they reached White Tiger Gully ahead.

They would have no escape!

Qin Wuyao beside him was completely bewildered. This guy, Lu Ran, instead of finding a way to escape, was leading them into White Tiger Gully? Going into White Tiger Gully would be a true dead end!

Because of fear, she pressed close to Lu Ran, grabbing his arm with both hands, her face pale.

She had been intelligent since childhood, but she had grown up in the wealthy district of the city. She had just awakened her profession yesterday and today she had come to the dangerous wilderness, encountering this certain-death situation.

The fear in the young girl's heart was imaginable.

Lu Ran noticed Qin Wuyao's nervousness, patted her cool little hand, and then started walking towards White Tiger Gully ahead.

Along the way, the three were beside him, one on the left, one on the right, and one following behind.

The Illusion Monarch Butterfly they encountered were instantly killed by the three.

"Three big brothers, your attacks are so strong, you can even instantly kill Illusion Monarch Butterfly. Your levels must be very high, right?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

"Nonsense, the three of us are Level 18 assassins. A mere Level 13 Illusion Monarch Butterfly, of course, they're instantly killed in front of us," one of the youths immediately said with a smug expression.

"Level 18..." Lu Ran murmured in his heart.

At the same time, his heart settled!

The level gap wasn't too big, they could be killed!

On the contrary, when Qin Wuyao heard the three's levels, her heart sank again.

Three Level 18 assassins killing a Level 5 and a Level 8 novice was too easy!

White Tiger Gully was deep, narrow, winding, allowing movement only forward, backward, left, and right, but not climbing.

Wandering within were Level 15 Tail Fire Tigers. They weren't large in size, with a distinctive fiery tail, and their bodies were a mix of yellow and white, mostly white stripes. This was also why the place was called White Tiger Gully.

Lu Ran walked for a while, and the White Tigers they encountered along the way were killed by the three assassin youths.

Interestingly, they could no longer instantly kill the Level 15 White Tigers; it required two or three coordinated attacks with skills to take them down.

This also gave Lu Ran a clearer understanding of the three's equipment and overall strength.

"Are we there yet? Where's the exact location?" The three urged impatiently.

"This way, it's just inside," Lu Ran pointed to a fork in the road on the right.

This fork was very short, only about twenty meters, and most importantly, it was a dead end.

It was simply a good place for murder and robbery!

"It's in here?" The three's eyes lit up.

Once they found the location, they could kill people!

After killing them and looting, they would open the Rift Contract entrance and clear a wave, perfect!

The three walked into the side path in unison, which surprised Lu Ran.

He had originally been wondering how to get them to go in first, but they were quite proactive. Perhaps they thought that many Tail Fire Tigers had respawned in White Tiger Gully behind them, and Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao couldn't run away anyway, so they were so confident.

Since that was the case, it would be easy.

Without another word, Lu Ran raised his staff.

Bang!

Two black mists floated out, immediately condensing into two Skeleton Soldiers.

This action startled the three, and Qin Wuyao also froze.

"What's the meaning of this, kid? Before you die, you want to have a go with us?" One of the youths laughed heartily, looking at the two Skeleton Soldiers, and said mockingly, not taking them seriously at all.

The Skeleton Soldiers summoned by Level 8 Lu Ran only had half of Lu Ran's own attributes.

They could instantly kill them with a casual strike!

The other two youths also looked at Lu Ran, amused.

"That's the meaning, but it's not to have a go with you, but to kill you all here," Lu Ran said directly.

As soon as these words came out, the three burst into laughter.

Even Qin Wuyao felt that Lu Ran might have gone crazy out of despair.

"Kid, did you not pay attention in school?"

"Do you know how big the gap between professionals of different levels is?"

"You, wanting to kill the three of us? Haha..."

...

Ignoring the three's mockery.

Lu Ran held Qin Wuyao's hand with one hand and stepped back a few paces.

With his other hand, he swung the staff in his hand and plunged it firmly into the ground beneath his feet.

Summon Undead again!
