285: Black Dragon Mountains

Chapter 285: Black Dragon Mountain Range

As Lu Ran spoke, everyone present exchanged glances.

They looked at each other.

Because apart from defensive and healing professions, all other professionals who originally thought they were qualified to participate in the National War were eliminated.

They felt unconvinced.

This was normal, and their complaints were understandable.

But to actually fight Lu Ran, this...

Many of them came from all over the country and had not witnessed Lu Ran fight firsthand.

When Lu Ran single-handedly dealt with the monster siege in the Imperial Capital, an estimated ninety-nine percent of the people present were not there.

However.

They had heard of Lu Ran's legend!

While they could complain, they naturally didn't think they had the ability to fight Lu Ran.

Thus, the scene appeared somewhat awkward.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, said indifferently, "What? You're already scared? Weren't you very capable?"

After he finished speaking.

Lu Ran's thoughts stirred.

Whoosh~

Large swaths of Undead creatures were directly summoned by Lu Ran.

The sky seemed to tear open a large rift.

Undead energy continuously surged within, eventually falling down and incessantly forming Undead creatures.

Dense and numerous!

Skeleton Soldiers, Ancient Golems, and Banshees almost completely obscured all space!

But that wasn't all.

In the sky, thousands of Abyssal Bone Dragons were also released by Lu Ran.

They circled continuously, roaring.

This scene made all the professionals present stare wide-eyed.

"It... it really is, this Lu Ran, the undead scourge!"

"I'm convinced, how can we even fight this?"

"Lu Ran is right, we can't even touch him."

"Scared me to death, I was just planning to risk trying it, never mind, I'm not cut out for it."

"What are you afraid of? We have more people. As long as one person can touch Lu Ran, we win, and Lu Ran's words will be meaningless!"

"Touch Lu Ran? You're dreaming! So many Skeleton Soldiers, a collective failure, this is a damn minefield!"

"Who can rush through? Forget touching him, if Lu Ran wanted to kill us, this Undead Army could wipe us all out!"

...

The crowd instantly lost their spirit.

They hadn't planned to fight Lu Ran in the first place, and now their last shred of hope was gone.

Lu Ran's purpose in doing this was also very simple.

He wasn't actually going to fight these people.

It was important to remember that people could die!

Lu Ran's goal was merely to gain absolute authority.

Lu Ran now found what Liu Xinxin had once said to be very reasonable.

Fists are the hard truth; merely talking is useless.

"How about it? Do you want to fight? If so, let's begin. I guarantee to minimize your casualties as much as possible," Lu Ran said indifferently.

Oh, this...

Everyone looked at each other.

No matter how much the casualties were reduced, people would still die!

"Forget it, you decide."

"This guy, no one can deal with him in the National War."

"He's indeed very strong, I'm convinced."

"Don't forget, if you want to join in on the fun, you're following Lu Ran."

"If you're still not convinced, you go, just go, Lu Ran won't go, how about that?"

...

Some people even began to speak up for Lu Ran.

The tide quickly turned.

Liu Xinxin and the others exchanged glances, nodding secretly.

Lu Ran's handling, while not perfect, was quite appropriate.

At this moment, Lu Ran was also very satisfied with the current outcome.

So he nodded and said, "I'm not here to contend with you all today; I'm just offering a suggestion. Whether it's ultimately adopted or not depends on the Professional Alliance and the Four Great Guilds. That's all I have to say."

After speaking, he shrugged and turned to look at Liu Xinxin and the others.

Yu Qingcang then stepped forward.

Facing the crowd, he said, "We hadn't really considered Lu Ran's suggestion before, but now it seems like a good idea. Although it's almost impossible for other countries to attack our Dragon Xia professionals, the necessary preparations must still be made."

The final decision.

Naturally, they listened to Lu Ran's suggestion.

Completely canceling the previously chaotic professional configurations.

Instead, it was entirely half defensive and half healing professions.

Defense combined with large-area healing professions to stabilize health, although there was no output, it was almost an invincible state.

Beyond this.

Lu Ran alone could conquer the Global!

As for the specific quotas afterward, Lu Ran no longer had a say. How to choose, and who was qualified to enter the National War, was a matter for the Four Great Guilds and the Professional Alliance.

Lu Ran returned to the office with Liu Xinxin and the others.

"You don't need to worry about the personnel selection. The Four Great Guilds and the Professional Alliance will take care of it."

"Because there aren't many professional configuration choices, simply selecting defensive and healing professions is very straightforward."

"The numbers are still split evenly, and the process is even simpler."

"Now, it's time to begin the Black Dragon Mountain Range."

"This time, let's give the Global a small shock before the National War!"

...

Even Liu Xinxin and the others did not personally participate.

Instead, they issued the task, letting their subordinates prepare the candidates for the National War.

The four of them planned to enter the Black Dragon Mountain Range with Lu Ran.

Of course, it wasn't just these few people.

To allow more people to gain the glory of Dragon Xia's first clear of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, the number of participants still needed to be gathered.

Fifty people for normal difficulty.

Each of the Four Great Guilds contributed ten high-level professionals.

Of the last ten people, besides Lu Ran, Liu Xinxin, Lei Tai, Ye Hongyi, and Yu Qingcang, there was also Nanasheng, an unexpected addition.

Lu Ran allowed it.

Nanasheng, now incredibly loyal, was a good tool that could be cultivated.

Moreover.

Lu Ran was not at all worried about Nanasheng having any schemes, because Yamata no Orochi would know immediately and inform Lu Ran.

Until now, Yamata no Orochi had not given any notification, which meant that Nanasheng had never dared to have any ulterior motives towards Lu Ran from beginning to end.

The last four spots were taken by the Professional Alliance.

Finally.

The fifty-person team was assembled.

Lu Ran, as the captain, led the mighty team to the dungeon hall.

This time, Lu Ran chose the dungeon, selecting the Black Dragon Mountain Range, normal difficulty.

Taking a deep breath.

Looking at the dungeon selection interface, Lu Ran chose to start!

The next second, his vision distorted and darkened.

After a brief moment of dizziness.

Everyone was no longer in the dungeon hall.

Instead, they appeared at the foot of a mountain range branch.

Looking up, the entire mountain range before them was lush and green, more like a primeval forest.

And the dungeon area seemed very large!

The entire forest was quiet, with no sounds to be heard.

Looking up towards the mountain peak.

The trees and vegetation there began to rapidly decrease, revealing large expanses of bare mountain rock.

The entire mountain was black, like a high mountain made of piled coal.

Due to the distance, the terrain and condition of the mountain peak were not clearly visible.

But it was certain.

The final Boss, the Black Dragon, should be at the mountain peak!
