599: Two possibilities

Chapter 599: Two Possibilities

"Scale Demon?" Lu Ran was slightly taken aback.

Although Lu Ran had previously reviewed the information on this ruin dungeon, he hadn't looked at the details of the smaller monsters.

Now that he saw them,

They did look familiar.

Weren't these the Scale Demons Lu Ran had seen before?

Moreover,

Lu Ran had even defeated the Scale Demon Queen back then.

"Could the BOSS here be the Scale Demon Queen? But..." Lu Ran muttered to himself.

Because according to Lu Ran's thoughts,

When Lu Ran defeated the Scale Demon Queen, it was already after the Datafication World process had upgraded.

Furthermore,

The first time Lu Ran saw the Scale Demon Queen, she was still in a datafied state, or rather, a semi-datafied state, not yet fully formed.

"If the Scale Demon Queen appears here, then it further proves that someone is manipulating data," Lu Ran said, frowning.

This made Lu Ran very uncomfortable.

Someone being able to manipulate data was what bothered Lu Ran the most.

In that case,

Lu Ran would no longer be the only true god in this Datafication World.

"No matter what, let's go down and take a look first," Nanasheng said.

Lu Ran nodded.

He glanced at the dense army of Scale Demons continuously rushing over from all directions.

The sheer number made one's scalp tingle.

However,

Lu Ran didn't directly use a thought to clear the data of these monsters, making them disappear instantly.

Instead, he intended to kill them all!

He did this to fully follow the progress of this ruin dungeon to trigger the BOSS, preventing any unexpected situations.

After all,

This ruin dungeon had already been modified by someone.

Thinking of this,

Lu Ran opened his hands, unleashing various skills.

He could summon whatever he wished, not limited to any single profession's skills.

Moreover,

Lu Ran deliberately increased his attack power, and at the same time, he used large-scale attack skills, aiming to kill as many monsters as possible in batches!

Because Lu Ran's attack power had already been boosted,

When the skills were unleashed, large numbers of Scale Demons were naturally killed, with not a single one able to withstand them!

It was like mowing grass.

Coupled with Lu Ran's skills having no cooldown, the harvesting speed was very fast, with no gaps in his attacks whatsoever.

Large swathes of monsters continuously disappeared.

Lu Ran and Nanasheng's descent speed also grew faster and faster.

According to the information Lu Ran had previously retrieved and reviewed, to trigger the final BOSS, all the monsters here needed to be killed.

All the smaller monsters.

So, Lu Ran was no longer in a hurry.

He completely focused on the surrounding monsters, beginning a large-scale cleanup.

Nanasheng, on the other hand, was a bit bored.

As for Nanasheng's current state, her attack method was still controlling her Shikigami.

But in such a situation, the effect Nanasheng could produce was truly negligible.

After all,

Before Lu Ran modified her attributes, and before Nanasheng's attack power could meet the requirement to instantly kill the monsters here,

Her attacks were futile.

There were simply too many monsters.

Unable to instantly kill the smaller monsters here, she would be overwhelmed almost immediately!

Overwhelmed by the monster horde!

So,

Nanasheng also stopped attacking, as her skills had cooldowns, and even controlling her Shikigami to attack had gaps.

Therefore,

Nanasheng simply stopped, standing beside Lu Ran and sinking with him.

At the same time, she watched Lu Ran wreak havoc, seeing large numbers of surrounding monsters continuously die!

Soon,

The surrounding monsters were completely cleared out.

This scene didn't last very long either.

After all,

When Lu Ran and Nanasheng descended and triggered these monsters, large numbers of Scale Demons had already rushed towards them.

Lu Ran only needed to clear them.

There were no omissions.

At this moment,

The dark river all around was filled with the corpses of Scale Demons.

They didn't sink; instead, after being killed, they floated in the surrounding water, suspended.

Looking around, it was like a human purgatory!

But none of this mattered.

Because this was, after all, the Datafication World, and the corpses of these monsters would eventually decompose and disappear.

Soon, it would be completely clean here.

"The monsters have been cleared. There shouldn't be any left. How do we trigger the BOSS? Or has it already been triggered? Where is it?" Nanasheng looked around, asking curiously.

Lu Ran was also completely bewildered.

He looked around, frowning slightly, and said, "Something's not right. According to the information I checked for this ruin dungeon, after the smaller monsters here are completely cleared, the BOSS should appear immediately, and it should appear right here. Why don't I see it?"

Nanasheng, of course, didn't know the answer either.

She continued to look around suspiciously.

At the same time, she said, "Then there are only two possibilities. The first is that the smaller Scale Demon monsters here haven't been completely cleared by you, and there are still some left."

Lu Ran immediately shook his head.

He said, "No, they've been completely cleared out."

One must know,

This wasn't something Lu Ran saw with his own eyes alone.

If he had truly relied on his eyes, he probably wouldn't have seen anything.

After all,

Beneath the dark river at this moment, Scale Demon corpses floated everywhere, fragmented and broken.

His vision was obstructed, and he couldn't see anything.

Lu Ran retrieved data to check for enemy units in the surroundings.

And indeed, there was nothing left.

This meant that the smaller monsters had absolutely been completely cleared by Lu Ran, not a single one remaining.

But now the problem arose.

The smaller monsters were all cleared, so where was the BOSS? Why hadn't it appeared?

Or...

"Could it be that the BOSS was already triggered, but while I was clearing the smaller monsters, the subsequent damage from my skills instantly killed the BOSS?" Lu Ran guessed.

Believe it or not, that was a real possibility!

Lu Ran had significantly increased his attack power to make it easier to deal with the smaller monsters!

If the BOSS was triggered immediately when the last smaller monster was killed,

Then,

It was possible that the BOSS had already been killed by Lu Ran before he even noticed it!

This possibility existed, and it was quite high.

But upon hearing this,

Nanasheng shook her head and said, "I don't think that's very likely. After a ruin dungeon's BOSS dies, there are drops, and they are special precious drops. At the same time, the entire ruin dungeon would undergo a slight change; there wouldn't be no movement at all."

Upon hearing this,

Lu Ran also nodded.

He said, "That makes sense, but it's strange. Where's the BOSS? Why hasn't it been triggered? Oh, right, you just said there were only two possibilities. What's the second one?"

The first one had already been rejected by Lu Ran.

Because Lu Ran had retrieved the data, it was absolutely impossible for the first possibility to occur.

Then, it was very likely the second scenario!
