[Death Space capacity increased. Current: 43/70!]

[Ding! Obtained loot: Earth Dragon Scale Armor, Dark Crystal, Dragon Lizard Fang!]

As the system notification faded, the massive body of the Black Lizard Earth Dragon crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

[Dragon Lizard Fang (Material)]

[Usage: A rare forging material that can be used to craft gold-grade Assassin weapons.]

Lu Yin glanced at the dropped loot; they could all be exchanged for quite a bit of star essence.

His class didn't have very high requirements for equipment, so there was no need to save these things for later.

It was better to sell them now and exchange them for things he currently needed.

Lu Yin then walked up to the corpse of the Black Lizard Earth Dragon and raised his palm.

"Arise..."

The dark purple soul of death seemed to be guided as it slowly descended into its body.

In an instant, a wave of cold energy centered on the Black Lizard Earth Dragon spread out, and a faint purple mist filled the air.

The already stiff body of the earth dragon suddenly twitched.

Immediately after, those dim dragon eyes snapped open, and two clumps of ghostly purple flames ignited within its pupils.

"Roar!"

A low, terrifying roar, even deeper than when it was alive, emanated from the earth dragon's throat, carrying the unique chill of death.

It slowly stood up. Its scales were dull, but they were now covered in a layer of eerie purple patterns.

[Black-Patterned Rotting Dragon (Field BOSS)]

[Level: 30]

[Strength: 2200, Constitution: 2300]

[Agility: 1950, Spirit: 2150]

[Skills: Shadow Scale Armor, Earth-Cracking Impact, Dark Breath, Great Maw Devour, Corrupted Earth]

Its attributes had increased compared to before, and it even had two brand-new skills.

Lu Yin was very satisfied with the harvest from this trip; his only regret was that the number of monsters was still 'too few'.

Returning to the cave entrance, the Three Women were still waiting listlessly.

When they saw Lu Yin's figure, their faces immediately filled with shock.

However, in the next instant, they felt relieved.

Returning in less than an hour, it was obvious that Lu Yin couldn't fully clear this wild area.

Actually, failing was quite normal.

After all, Lu Yin was only Level 6, and this was a Level 30 leveling spot.

Even if a Mythic class was monstrous, there should be a limit.

Su Xiaoyu was the first to jump up, her big eyes blinking as she asked, "Back so soon? Was it because the monsters inside were too hard to deal with?"

Tang Wan also stood up and comforted him gently, "It's okay. This wild area is known for its high difficulty. Being able to kill a few monsters is already a prof—"

Lu Yin smiled slightly and didn't answer immediately, merely raising his hand gently.

In an instant, a cold wind howled at the cave entrance, and a thick aura of death spread out.

Under the horrified gazes of the Three Women, a massive black earth dragon slowly walked out from the depths of the cave.

Its body was covered in dark purple patterns, cold ghostly flames burned in its eye sockets, and every step it took made the ground tremble slightly.

"This, this is..." Lin Wei's pupils shrank violently, her voice trembling slightly.

Su Xiaoyu's mouth hung wide open as she pointed at the behemoth. "This couldn't be... the BOSS from inside, right?"

Tang Wan subconsciously took half a step back, her face pale. "Lu Yin, you... subdued it?"

Lu Yin patted the Black-Patterned Rotting Dragon's hard scales and said in a flat tone, "Yeah, the monsters inside are all cleared out. It was just a casual task."

The Three Women looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

In less than an hour, he not only cleared a Level 30 wild area but also subdued the BOSS as a summon?

Is this the power of a Mythic class?

Lin Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart. "Then we now..."

Lu Yin glanced at Lin Wei and then frowned.

"This should be the highest-level leveling spot in our Tianyang City, right?"

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, after all, we're only a third-tier city..."

Hearing this, Lu Yin thought to himself.

If he went to wild areas in other cities, traveling back and forth would waste a lot of time.

In that time, the wild monsters here would have already respawned.

It was better to conserve energy and wait here.

Thinking of this, Lu Yin asked again.

"So, do you know how long the respawn interval for the monsters in this cave is?"

Lin Wei pondered, then said in surprise.

"A batch respawns roughly every three hours. You're not thinking of staying here to wait for the monsters to respawn, are you?"

Seeing Lin Wei so surprised, Lu Yin was the one who was stunned.

"Otherwise? Don't you guys usually wait at monster respawn points to level up?"

Lin Wei was dazed by Lu Yin's matter-of-fact tone, and it took her a while to find her voice.

"Normally... normally, very few people can clear all the monsters in an area."

"By the time you've almost finished killing them on this side, they've already respawned on that side."

"So, I've never considered the question you're asking..."

Hearing this, Lu Yin nodded thoughtfully.

"I see," he said calmly. "It seems I cleared them too quickly."

The Three Women looked at each other, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Cleared them too quickly? Is that even something a human would say?

Countless high-level teams in Tianyang City had suffered heavy casualties here.

And he was actually complaining that he cleared them too fast?

If the Professionals who died here knew about this, they would probably jump out of their graves and curse him a few times just to vent their anger.

While the Three Women were speechless, Lu Yin spoke again.

"Since the monsters respawn every three hours, I plan to use this time to head back to the city and deal with the equipment I have."

"Are you going to continue leveling, or come with me?"

Lu Yin's decision caused the Three Women to fall into another brief silence.

Su Xiaoyu was the first to react, raising her hand cheerfully. "I'll go back to the city with you! I also happen to need to restock some potions."

Tang Wan and Lin Wei looked at each other and also nodded.

They indeed needed to return to the city to reorganize. Moreover, they had to cling tightly to a powerful 'thigh' like Lu Yin.

And so, the group returned to the city together to reorganize.

Not long after they left, two figures appeared in the shadows.

"This kid is quite interesting. At such a low level, he can clear monsters of such high levels."

"A Mythic Professional... what a pity. Having offended the Young Master, he won't live past tonight."

"..."
