305: Thousands of people sneaked across the border

Chapter 305: A Thousand People Smuggling Across

Lu Ran didn't even bother looking at the seventy-second floor.

He glanced at the floor boss not far away and nodded directly at Si Luoluo.

Si Luoluo understood perfectly and instantly killed it!

And so,

In the dungeon hall, Lu Ran's cleared floor count once again increased!

"Seventy-two floors!"

"Holy crap, I was still listening to you guys talk about the seventy-first floor, didn't even get a chance to look!"

"Seventy-two floors already? How did he do it?"

"How is he so fast? My god, how high must his damage be?"

"Something's not right, isn't Lu Ran only level fifty-something? He's clearing seventy-plus floors like this?"

"Is this still an Undead Mage?"

"The seventy-second floor was clearly very easy. Who knows how many floors Lu Ran will clear today."

"I'm numb, I'm not doing dungeons anymore, I'm going to watch the show!"

...

At the same time,

Sakura.

This group of people was collectively bewildered.

This... something's not right!

"What exactly is Lu Ran doing?" someone asked.

"What I'm more concerned about is, how exactly did Lu Ran do it!" the Big Leader said with a gloomy expression.

"black dragon heart, three difficulties, speed clear, especially the hard difficulty and hell difficulty, cleared in just over ten minutes. I initially thought it was Nanasheng's Yamata no Orochi that accomplished it, but now, I'm not so sure anymore."

"The most crucial thing is, the normal difficulty of black dragon heart took so long, so how come the latter two, which are of higher difficulty, took less time?" someone questioned.

"That goes without saying, Dragon Xia's first clear requires data collection," the Big Leader mused.

"So, that means Dragon Xia could have actually cleared the normal difficulty of the Black Dragon Mountain Range in a shorter time, but they deliberately dragged it out to collect detailed data for the entire dungeon?" someone asked in shock.

And this also means...

It was incredibly easy!

They weren't painstakingly fighting the dungeon, risking their lives.

Instead, they were clearing the Black Dragon Mountain Range as if it were a regular dungeon.

And recording data along the way.

Not killing so quickly, not killing the bosses, keeping them alive, just to collect data!

He's a freaking pervert!

The entire conference room gradually became lively.

"The problem now is, did Dragon Xia really not use Nanasheng's Yamata no Orochi to clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range?"

"I don't think so, Yamata no Orochi must have been used, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast."

"But Lu Ran's Endless Tower climbing shows that Lu Ran's damage is incredibly high!"

"Even if it's high, there are so many monsters in the Black Dragon Mountain Range. How fast could Lu Ran kill them? Don't even think about it, it must be the Yamata no Orochi's credit!"

...

Everyone chattered, one after another.

But the few leaders were full of worry.

They had discussed for a long time, but there was no result.

"Damn it, the entry application was also rejected, what should we do? How can we contact Nanasheng?" someone asked in distress.

This was also a concern for the leaders.

"The National War is about to begin. No, we must contact Nanasheng. Otherwise, if Nanasheng doesn't participate, we won't be able to contend with Dragon Xia at all. And what I'm most worried about is, what will happen to our Sakura after Dragon Xia becomes dominant?" one of the leaders said.

"But now, the application has been rejected, our people can't get through, and that scoundrel Yu Qingcang definitely won't open cross-border communication. We can't contact Nanasheng no matter what," another leader cried out anxiously.

"There's no other way. Organize high-level professional players now. I need at least a thousand of them, quickly gathered, and then cross the Endless Sea to Dragon Xia as fast as possible!" the leader said, deep in thought.

"Ah? Now? But if we gather a thousand high-level professional players now, and if they are all wiped out like Nanasheng arranged before, and something goes wrong, then our Sakura will truly be finished during the National War," someone asked.

"What? If we can't contact Nanasheng now, do you think we'll gain any advantage in the National War?" the leader retorted.

After asking,

He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "You should be clear about the new and old grievances between Dragon Xia and us. If Dragon Xia rises, you should also think carefully about the fate of our Sakura. Now, we can only fight for it. Only if Nanasheng returns do we have a chance to protect ourselves, otherwise, we'll all go to hell!"

At this moment, everyone's expressions were a bit strange.

Fear, panic, mixed with despair.

After a few seconds of silence:

"Okay, I'll contact our shrine members immediately!"

"I'll start preparing too."

"An hour should be enough!"

"This time, we must contact Nanasheng!"

"There's just one problem, the people Nanasheng sent out last time were all wiped out, and there weren't many of them, but it definitely alerted them."

"We have reason to believe that Dragon Xia has better defenses at the location where our people landed last time."

"So, this time we need to change our landing point!"

...

As these people discussed, the leader finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

No matter what, they had to contact Nanasheng!

Otherwise, everything would be over!

Here, Sakura was busily preparing people to smuggle into Dragon Xia.

But on the other side, Eagle Country was a different scene.

In the conference room, the atmosphere was incredibly heavy.

"The application was rejected, reconciliation is impossible."

"Understandable. If I were Dragon Xia, I wouldn't agree to reconciliation at this time either."

"For this National War, let's prepare enough defensive professional players. Oh, and healing professional players too."

"Dragon Xia's impact is immense!"

"We don't need to aim for first place in the National War. Now, we need to maintain our ranking."

"As long as we're not the first to be taken down by Dragon Xia, that's a victory for us."

...

Unlike Sakura,

Eagle Country chose to defend, not intending to forcefully attack other factions.

Because with Dragon Xia present, their offensive setup was directly nullified!

So,

They planned to defend, to retreat into their shells, hoping to last longer against Dragon Xia.

At the same time, they also hoped that other factions would be eliminated quickly.

First place was, of course, out of the question.

Now they just needed to secure a better ranking.

Because a better ranking also meant more resource rewards, and it would allow Eagle Country to catch its breath.

And not be completely wiped out by Dragon Xia.

As for Lu Ran at this moment,

He had already reached the seventy-eighth floor!

This speed, to be honest, wasn't very fast.

Because Lu Ran wasn't deliberately pursuing speed; he was leisurely, instantly killing floor after floor.

Strolling as if taking a walk in his own backyard.

But he felt it wasn't fast, that he wasn't deliberately pursuing speed.

Yet this speed still caused a huge impact globally!

At this moment,

Across the Global, countless professional players gathered in various dungeon halls, staring intently at the Endless Tower rankings.

Lu Ran was still first, constantly refreshing, still first.

But the floor count after the first place increased by one with each refresh!

Extremely fast, without stopping!

As if endless!

No one knew what Lu Ran's target floor was for this run!
