Chapter 86: Is It Possible to Grind Monsters This Way?

"Sister Hong, is the Ten Thousand Snake Hall a dungeon?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"No, it's a Ruined Area," Ye Hongyi shook her head and said.

Ruined Area…

Lu Ran was a bit confused; he hadn't heard that term before.

Liu Xinxin seemed to see through Lu Ran's confusion at a glance.

She explained, "What you learned in the academy is just the tip of the iceberg of the Datafication World. The purpose is to allow you to quickly enter the state of a professional. In the true Datafication World, there's still a lot you haven't learned, and Ruined Areas are one of them."

Ruined Areas are different from dungeons.

They don't require teleportation to enter; they are inherently within the great world.

Once inside, you can directly start grinding monsters, and there's no team isolation; other professionals or other teams can also enter.

"The difference is that in a Ruined Area, unless the final Ruined Boss is killed, the small monsters will not respawn. Only when the Ruined Boss dies will the entire ruin respawn, and the respawn cycle is very long," Liu Xinxin explained.

After speaking,

As if thinking of something, Liu Xinxin added, "But Ruined Areas are usually very high-level, and all the monsters inside are automatically triggered. They give high experience, but the difficulty is very high. They are usually organized by guilds for concentrated Defeat."

But in this way,

With more people, the monsters and experience gained would be less.

The ultimate goal was probably to obtain the drops from the Ruined Boss.

The drops from Ruined Bosses are usually much better than those from bosses in dungeons of the same level.

"When was the last time this Ten Thousand Snake Hall was refreshed?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"Last time? There was no last time. No one has ever killed the Titan Python in the Ten Thousand Snake Hall," Ye Hongyi shook her head and said.

Lu Ran was stunned.

Is this Ten Thousand Snake Hall that difficult?

Ye Hongyi recalled, saying,

"When I was little, the elders in the village kept reminding us not to enter the Ten Thousand Snake Hall."

"Inside the Ten Thousand Snake Hall, the lowest level monsters are Level 30, and the highest level monsters are Level 60."

"As for the Titan Python, to be honest, no one has ever seen it, but it's speculated to be at least a Level 50, or even Level 60, Ruined Boss."

"This is a good thing. The higher the level, the more experience, and the better the rewards."

"Wei Yingying, as this generation's Grass Witch, can easily gather many high-combat professionals."

"But so far, they still haven't been able to enter the inner hall, which shows how difficult the Ten Thousand Snake Hall is."

...

After hearing Ye Hongyi's explanation, Lu Ran had a rough idea.

This Ten Thousand Snake Hall is incredibly difficult!

Additionally, few people from outside are willing to come to Southern Border, and the Ten Thousand Snake Hall is in the wilderness. To venture into the Ten Thousand Snake Hall, one must first pass through the dangerous wilderness.

If an accident occurs in the Ten Thousand Snake Hall, retreating would also mean enduring the dangerous wilderness.

Furthermore, since Jiuyou City has become an empty city, even logistical support is extremely difficult to operate.

This also led to the fact that

Since the Datafication World was formed, no one has cleared the Ten Thousand Snake Hall!

"Then we'd better be careful and slowly clear from the outer hall," Lu Ran said thoughtfully.

Just as he finished speaking,

Liu Xinxin burst out laughing.

She said with a wry smile, "Your Sister Hong wouldn't easily put you in danger. The reason she readily agreed is because of your Bone Throne entry, isn't it? Otherwise, even if we called Yu Qingcang over, we wouldn't be able to clear the Ten Thousand Snake Hall. It's not a ruin that can be easily tackled at this stage."

But for Lu Ran,

It's simple!

Too simple!

"The venomous creatures in the Ten Thousand Snake Hall are all Dark-type. You can control wild venomous creatures, so naturally, you can also control the monsters inside the Ten Thousand Snake Hall. Perhaps you might even be able to control the Titan Python and let it allow you to take its venom sac," Liu Xinxin explained.

Lu Ran scratched his head in surprise.

He had only heard that the Ten Thousand Snake Hall was very dangerous, a terrifying place.

He almost forgot that his Bone Throne entry allowed for unconditional control!

"The Ten Thousand Snake Hall is just ahead, little brother. I'm really looking forward to your performance," Ye Hongyi smiled alluringly at Lu Ran, pointing ahead.

Deep in the dense forest,

Between the mountain hollows, there was a large, relatively flat and open area.

This place was not very far from the village.

But there were no roads around, indicating that people rarely came to this area to grind monsters on a daily basis.

Because the area surrounding the Ten Thousand Snake Hall, even though it hadn't entered the Ruined Area yet, was already teeming with venomous snakes, and their density was terrifying!

If it weren't for Lu Ran controlling them all the way, it would have taken them a long time just to clear a path to get this close to the Ten Thousand Snake Hall.

The open area ahead was the Ruined Area.

The sight of it made one's scalp tingle!

The Ten Thousand Snake Hall had no outer walls. Stone slabs were laid all around, with various intricate runes carved into them.

Numerous totem poles around it did not support anything, but were arranged in a special way.

And within the area, as far as the eye could see, it was full of colorful venomous snakes of all kinds!

Some were as thin as chopsticks, others as thick as a thigh!

The density was astonishing!

Lei Tai instantly broke out in goosebumps.

He exclaimed, "No wonder the Grass Witch couldn't clear it even with her people. The monsters here are too dense! Just getting close would attract at least dozens of them to entangle you. The more people, the more snake monsters are attracted. Who can endure this?"

And this was just the outer hall; the inner hall, presumably, had even higher-level and more terrifying monsters!

"Lu Ran, you try," Liu Xinxin looked at Lu Ran and said.

"Okay," Lu Ran nodded.

This was not a problem, because Lu Ran clearly saw that all these venomous creatures had a 'controllable' prompt above their heads.

He walked a few steps forward.

His gaze swept across.

A large number of venomous snakes had their control forcefully seized by Lu Ran.

But Lu Ran did not control all of them; instead, he randomly selected a portion to control.

To concentrate, Lu Ran spread his hands forward, as if holding a conductor's baton, and slowly waved them.

At the same time, he continuously issued commands in his mind.

With his thoughts conveyed, the entire outer hall of the Ten Thousand Snake Hall instantly boiled with commotion!

The countless venomous snakes that had originally coexisted harmoniously began to fight each other like mad!

The group forcefully controlled by Lu Ran launched indiscriminate attacks on the surrounding venomous snakes that were not controlled!

As ten thousand snakes coiled and fought, the low, bone-chilling hissing sounds of the venomous snakes, when mixed together, were dense and overwhelming!

The sight of countless venomous snakes twisting and coiling made Lei Tai feel completely unwell.

At the same time,

[Team killed Level 38 Bloodthirsty Snake, gained 3660 experience!]

[Team killed Level 34 Shadow Python, gained 3200 experience!]

[Team killed Level 41 Hellfire Snake, gained 3870 experience!]

[Team killed Level 37 Withered Wood Ghost Snake, gained 3580 experience!]

[Team killed Level 41 Hellfire Snake, gained 3870 experience!]

...

The message prompts continuously refreshed.

The Three Guild Leaders were all dumbfounded.

Although they already knew about Lu Ran's ability and that he could control the venomous creatures here,

They hadn't expected the effect to be so explosive!

Watching Lu Ran's hands wave, large swathes of venomous snakes fell into a struggle, and venomous creatures constantly died as their health was depleted.

"Lu Ran is controlling some of the venomous snakes to attack other venomous snakes. Let's leave the team," Liu Xinxin pondered.

Experience gained by the team needs to be distributed.

Although the proportion wouldn't be too low, it would naturally be best for Lu Ran to enjoy the experience alone.

Anyway, this amount of experience was negligible for the Three Guild Leaders.
