142: Scourge

Chapter 142: undead scourge

The Dwarf King led the way, surrounded by some Dwarf guards.

Lu Ran and the others followed behind him.

They arrived at the canyon entrance.

Lu Ran looked left and right; although the cliff was winding and tortuous, its height was incredibly exaggerated!

It was like a natural chasm.

At the end of the canyon was the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance.

And the only path was the Sand Sea Stone Forest in front of them.

This also explained Lu Ran's previous question.

Lu Ran had wondered before, since the Sand Sea Stone Forest blocked the way, why not just go around it to reach the entrance?

Now it seemed, going around was impossible!

With this cliff, Lu Ran wouldn't dare to climb down without Elf Wings; a fall would surely be fatal!

The Dwarf, being limited in height, made it even more impossible for them.

“This is the Sand Sea Stone Forest. The monsters wandering inside are Titan Stone Statue, of all levels, with the lowest being Level 70,” the Dwarf King said thoughtfully.

Lu Ran looked out.

The so-called Titan Stone Statue were not just simple stone men.

They were indeed constructed from rocks, and even their shapes differed from each other.

But in the chest of every Titan Stone Statue, there was a fist-sized crystal emitting a yellowish-brown light.

That was probably the most primitive power core driving the Titan creations.

The Dwarf guards around Balun turned pale, clearly terrified of the Sand Sea Stone Forest.

But in Lu Ran’s eyes, what kind of monsters were these? Wasn't this just high experience everywhere?

So he grinned and said, “Easy to deal with. After we handle these Titan Stone Statue, we should be able to reach the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance, right?”

The Dwarf King hadn't expected such a remark from Lu Ran.

He looked at Lu Ran in surprise, then smiled bitterly and said, “It seems you still don’t understand my meaning, nor do you understand how exaggerated the defense and attack of these Titan Stone Statue are.”

He then added, answering Lu Ran’s question, “The end of the Sand Sea Stone Forest is the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance, but the entrance is just the beginning. To obtain the eternal fire, there are even greater challenges.”

Lu Ran was not at all surprised; greater challenges obviously referred to the subsequent tasks.

With Lu Ran’s current abilities, let alone him, even Liu Xinxin couldn't think of anything that could stump Lu Ran.

Lu Ran nodded.

He said, “In that case, let’s begin. We’ll go to the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance first.”

With that, he stepped forward and pulled out his sea-stabilizing trident.

The Dwarf King was startled.

He hastily said, “Don’t be so reckless! The Titan Stone Statue inside are all aggressive and very high level. You… at your level, you might… in one encounter…”

The Dwarf King didn't have the heart to finish his sentence.

But the meaning was clear.

With your meager level, going in is just asking to die!

Lu Ran waved his hand and said, “I’m not in a hurry to go in. I’ll farm monsters first; these monsters give a lot of experience.”

After saying that,

He no longer hesitated.

He gripped his staff tightly with both hands and suddenly plunged it into the ground beneath his feet.

Then, his eyes narrowed.

This was the first time Lu Ran used Sleeve Universe to fight monsters in bulk!

Liu Xinxin and the others also realized this and watched excitedly; this was also their first time seeing Lu Ran use the storage space of the Sleeve Universe trait!

Of course, the storage space wasn't the main point; the main point was the 200,000 Undead Army inside!

The Dwarf King, on the other hand, was a bit puzzled.

His impression of Lu Ran had changed because of Elf Wings, because he had gained the approval of Elf Queen Tina.

But Lu Ran himself was just a Level 30 Undead Mage.

He wasn't optimistic.

But now, Lu Ran's several Level 60 companions weren't making a move, and instead, Lu Ran was striking a pose. What was he doing?

The next second,

Rip~

A huge opening was torn in the sky before them, and thick black smoke billowed out from it.

As it spilled onto the ground, large numbers of Skeleton Soldier, interspersed with Ancient Golem, and even Koi Spirit appeared beside Lu Ran, looking around in confusion.

Such a dry environment was clearly not to the Koi Spirit's liking.

In an instant, the entire Sand Sea Stone Forest was completely filled with the Undead Army!

The sheer density made one's scalp tingle!

Liu Xinxin and the others watched with excitement.

“Yes, yes, this is the stance!”

“Oh my god, this is much more exaggerated than I imagined.”

“And this is without Lu Ran summoning the Elves for help. If the Elves also joined in, that would truly be…”

…

As for the Dwarf King, he was utterly dumbfounded.

“Undead Army, you…” The Dwarf King looked at Lu Ran.

He wasn't very familiar with Undead Mage, but he understood the basics. He had never seen any Undead Mage so arrogant!

Strike a pose, and 200,000 Undead Army came surging out!

“Start killing! Let’s go!” Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

Then he took the lead and walked forward, entering the Sand Sea Stone Forest!

At the same time,

He constantly waved the staff in his hand.

Bone Storm stacked infinitely, continuously covering the entire Sand Sea Stone Forest ahead!

At the same time, he used Undead Touch to restrict the movements of the Titan Stone Statue.

Around each Titan Stone Statue, countless Skeleton Soldier hacked away, and some of these Skeleton Soldier, when their health dropped to a certain level, directly self-destructed to deal a final wave of damage!

The Titan Stone Statue, which even the Dwarf King personally leading his troops would need to slowly advance against,

Were now being annihilated in large numbers!

Lu Ran's Undead Army was enough to tear apart everything!

As for those that died or Corpse Explosion, Lu Ran didn't feel bad; he could just replenish them later if he had time.

This thing could be used infinitely!

And in front of them,

As Lu Ran walked forward,

The Undead Army crowded together and even cleared a path, leading directly to the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance at the end.

This made the Dwarf King and his party feel as if they were strolling down a street rather than being in the Sand Sea Stone Forest, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Of course,

During this process, Lu Ran continuously received notifications of killing Titan Stone Statue. A Level 70 Titan Stone Statue could give over 8,000 experience!

Level 80 ones even gave over 10,000!

His experience soared, and recalling the 30 million experience he would get upon reaching the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance, Lu Ran was so excited he almost laughed out loud.

At this rate, there was hope of leveling up to Level 40 at the Dwarf Underground Cave entrance!

And at that time,

New skills and traits would also be unlocked!

Beside Lu Ran, Si Luoluo observed her surroundings, occasionally glancing at Lu Ran.

Her ownership belonged entirely to Lu Ran.

She understood Lu Ran's power, but this was also the first time Si Luoluo had seen Lu Ran deploy his Undead Army.

It was terrifying!

As for Annie, who had never seen such a grand spectacle, she trembled, and when she looked up at Lu Ran, her mind was a bit bewildered.

The human she had casually befriended actually possessed such terrifying combat power!

The Dwarf King, on the other hand, after the initial bewilderment, his eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.

With this momentum,

Perhaps Lu Ran truly had the ability to complete the task and obtain the eternal fire.

And the Hill Dwarves, having regained the eternal fire, would rise again!

The Dwarf King grew more excited the more he thought about it, barely able to contain his restless heart.
