73: Nanase's Choice
Chapter 73 Nanasheng's Choice
Early the next morning.
Nanasheng arrived at the Dungeon Hall, staring intently at the Global rankings of the Endless Tower, lost in thought.
She had prepared her full set of peak equipment.
She had equipped the Eight-Eyed Umbrella.
Her condition was also at its best, but she was not in a hurry to enter the Endless Tower.
Instead, she waited.
On the other side.
After finishing the morning meeting, Lu Ran came to the Dungeon Hall, originally intending to go directly to the Endless Tower.
But he was suddenly stopped by Lei Tai.
"Not yet!" Lei Tai shouted.
The other guild leaders looked at Lei Tai in confusion.
"I just got news that a Wild BOSS teleportation array has appeared on Kunpeng Island! And it's only just been discovered!" Lei Tai said excitedly.
A Wild BOSS meant a large amount of experience.
Lu Ran had to get his hands on this!
The others' eyes lit up, and even Yu Qingcang, who had been following along for fun these past few days, became excited.
The last Wild BOSS was taken by Lu Ran, and Yu Qingcang didn't get to see it; now he had a chance!
"Sister Xin, should I save my Blood Spear for the Wild BOSS?" Lu Ran asked Liu Xinxin.
"Yes, there's no rush for the Endless Tower. After all, you're only three floors away from Nanasheng's 61st floor, so no rush," Liu Xinxin said with a chuckle.
She was also very happy to hear about the Wild BOSS.
This must be left for Lu Ran to take!
And the Blood Spear was the most reliable method.
"Furthermore, we had a conjecture regarding the hades' crystal skull you obtained earlier. That is, the higher your finishing blow damage, the higher the reward you receive. Although it's difficult to verify and we can't get exact data to support it, if the conjecture is correct, you might even get a top-tier piece of equipment on the leaderboard this time," Liu Xinxin mused.
After making up their minds, the group directly used the teleportation array to go to Kunpeng Island's main city, Liubo City.
According to the news Lei Tai received, the Wild BOSS teleportation array was located about ten li northeast of Liubo City.
Kunpeng Island was a place Lu Ran had never visited before.
It was located in the northeast of Dragon Xia.
The climate here was noticeably colder than Black Fire City.
But although it was called Kunpeng Island, it was actually connected to the mainland by a road, attached to the continent, and not a true island.
This was also the first time Lu Ran had seen the sea.
Novelty and excitement were evident on his face.
"What a beautiful place," Lu Ran exclaimed.
Looking at the shimmering, boundless sea, it was a sight he had never had the chance to see during his many years in Black Fire City.
"Don't just think it's beautiful; the Forbidden Sea is very dangerous," Liu Xinxin gently told Lu Ran from the side.
Before the Global datafication, it wasn't called the Forbidden Sea.
The reason for the name change was because after the Global datafication, the aquatic creatures in the sea mutated into various levels of sea monsters.
Among them were also some abnormally large, special BOSS-level sea demons, plus human professionals, except for some special hidden professions related to water, found it very difficult to fight in the water.
This also led to a huge death rate for professionals who went into the sea!
Ships sailing in it would also be attacked by various sea monsters, resulting in shipwrecks and deaths.
"So after the Global datafication, apart from the shallow sea areas where professionals are still active, the activity of going out to sea has basically been prohibited. This is also the origin of the name Forbidden Sea," Liu Xinxin explained.
So that's how it was.
Lu Ran nodded, looking at the deep sea beneath the shimmering beauty.
Staring closely, it always gave one a feeling of trepidation.
In the deep sea, anything monstrous could emerge!
Thinking of this, Lu Ran couldn't help but shiver, and his longing for the sea dissipated considerably.
"Let's go, we'll wait for the BOSS on that hill ahead. Judging by the distance and direction, the view should be sufficient to see the Wild BOSS's location," Liu Xinxin said, glancing at the map in her hand and then looking around.
Liu Xinxin, who had never been here before, just glanced at the map, compared it to the surrounding mountain terrain, and the coordinates of the Wild BOSS, and instantly determined the perfect location.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Kunpeng Island.
Two dilapidated and tattered boats were quietly approaching.
When they were still a long distance from the shore, more than a dozen professionals on the boats leaped into the sea.
One of the professionals in the seawater held a spiritual talisman and suddenly unleashed it.
Bang!
A mermaid with a red dress, black hair, and black eyes, appearing as a young girl, appeared before them.
Shikigami, Koi Spirit!
After the Koi Spirit appeared, the other professionals gathered around. The Koi Spirit, wrapped in a large current of water, quickly shuttled with the group through the water, avoiding the monsters in the coastal area, and heading towards the shore.
They were the group of Onmyoji that Nanasheng had sent out a few days ago to infiltrate Dragon Xia and investigate the Undead Mage.
However, out of the sixty people who set out, only a dozen or so remained.
In just a few short days, although the speed of crossing the Forbidden Sea was very fast, the death rate was equally high!
"We're about to land. First, notify the President that we've arrived! Once we cross the border, cross-national communication will be ineffective," one of them said, signaling to the others as if remembering something.
Only then did everyone stop.
They opened their communicators in the seawater to transmit messages.
On the other side, Nanasheng had been standing in front of the Endless Tower's Global rankings for a long time.
It was already past 8:30 AM, and more than ten minutes had passed.
But there was no change in the Endless Tower's Global rankings; that Undead Mage seemed not to have pushed floors!
Nanasheng felt relieved but also somewhat conflicted.
If that Undead Mage truly couldn't continue pushing floors, then how did he achieve that feat in the Deathmatch Arena?
Being able to fight five guild leaders from Eagle Nation alone and wipe them all out, he shouldn't have trouble beating the 59th floor, right?
"If he doesn't push, I will! I must establish my absolute dominance in the Endless Tower!" Nanasheng said, gritting her teeth.
She even had a hint of petulance.
She no longer cared about the National War. Now, in her eyes, this first place, representing the highest Global honor of the Endless Tower, must be protected!
She had put in so much effort to surpass Yu Qingcang and was absolutely unwilling to be easily surpassed by someone in such a dramatic fashion!
Moreover, the opponent's level was not even 53!
Thinking of this.
Nanasheng took a deep breath and walked towards the Endless Tower's teleportation array.
But just then, she received a message on her communicator.
Although Nanasheng disliked receiving messages via communicator and preferred people to report to her in person, by now, it seemed to not matter.
She lowered her head and looked at the message.
"The speed is acceptable, but the casualties are too great. The rest of you, proceed with caution. Investigating the Undead Mage's whereabouts is the primary objective. Do not cause unnecessary trouble. Once you have information, leave the border-restricted cross-national communication area immediately and report to me," Nanasheng replied.
Then, without further hesitation, she stepped into the Endless Tower's teleportation array.
She chose the 62nd floor and entered!
