151: All I want is experience!

Chapter 151: All I Want Is Experience!

He received the forged weapon.

To be honest,

Lu Ran wasn't particularly satisfied.

He had originally thought it would be incredibly explosive.

After all, the Elf Wings, as a Holy Artifact, not only allowed Lu Ran to fly,

but also enabled him to summon the Natural Elves to assist in battle.

In contrast,

while the sea-stabilizing trident had higher four-dimensional attributes and its 20% increase in all-element skill damage was impressive, it still fell far short of Lu Ran's expectations.

And the doubling of skill range.

For Lu Ran, this was certainly exaggerated, an increase in skill coverage of several hundred kilometers.

However, for normal professional players, while it was very useful, it still didn't reach the level of a Holy Artifact's power as Lu Ran understood it.

No choice.

Lu Ran could only comfort himself.

There are differences between Holy Artifacts.

Like the Elf Wings, as an original Holy Artifact, its power is naturally strong.

The dwarf furnace of the Dwarf, although not equipment, as a Holy Artifact, it can also forge Holy Artifacts, which is even more terrifying!

Conversely, the Holy Artifacts forged might not be as powerful as the original Holy Artifacts.

Neither in the Global equipment ranking nor in overall attributes.

The Dwarf King had originally intended to keep Lu Ran and his companions for a meal.

But to be honest, Lu Ran had been wandering around Blackstone City all afternoon and had seen plenty of food.

Just looking at the Dwarf's food was enough to leave one speechless!

By this time, however, it was already completely dark.

Although they weren't eating here, they couldn't refuse the Dwarf King's insistence and decided to stay the night.

The next morning.

Before Lu Ran and the others had even woken up, they heard a commotion outside.

Lu Ran curiously opened the door and looked out.

He saw Dwarf guards fully armed, moving back and forth, each with a panicked expression.

Lu Ran was a bit confused; what happened?

Just then,

the Dwarf King arrived.

He looked anxious and said to Lu Ran and his companions, “Esteemed guests, quickly leave Blackstone City!”

Huh?

Lu Ran asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Aren't you moving back to the caves?”

The Dwarf King shook his head and said, “Racial migration is not an overnight task, but right now, a powerful enemy is invading, and it’s very dangerous for you to stay in Blackstone City!”

A powerful enemy is invading?

Lu Ran was even more bewildered.

The Dwarf King seemed to see through Lu Ran's confusion, looked up at the sky, and said, “The Dwarf’s natural enemy, for so many years, the Dwarf have suffered greatly, countless clansmen have died, innumerable.”

Lu Ran suddenly realized.

The Dwarf’s natural enemy, the Evil Spirit Griffin!

He suddenly looked up.

Indeed!

In the still clear morning sky, a large patch of dark clouds could faintly be seen approaching from the horizon.

But those weren't dark clouds; they were dense swarms of Evil Spirit Griffins!

“Didn't you say the Evil Spirit Griffins hunt the Dwarf periodically? Don't you remember the time?” Lu Ran asked in surprise.

When the Dwarf King mentioned the Evil Spirit Griffins yesterday, he didn't say they were coming today!

The Dwarf King sighed and shook his head, “It is periodic, but the period is uncertain, sometimes as short as ten days, sometimes as long as three or four months, and this time, only seventeen days have passed since the last Evil Spirit Griffin invasion.”

Lu Ran was speechless.

What kind of periodicity is this?

Beside him, Ye Hongyi and the others were also present.

Hearing this, Liu Xinxin asked with a strange expression, “These Evil Spirit Griffins, they should be dark-type monsters, right?”

Upon hearing this,

the Dwarf King nodded and said, “They are griffins corrupted by evil spirits. Compared to griffins of the same level, their speed is faster, their attack is higher, and their health and defense are stronger. They are very difficult to deal with…”

At this point,

the Dwarf King suddenly paused and looked at Lu Ran.

His first reaction upon learning of the Evil Spirit Griffin invasion was to have Lu Ran and his companions leave.

But then he suddenly remembered Lu Ran's heroic performance yesterday.

Perhaps… Lu Ran could help the Dwarf resist the Evil Spirit Griffins?

Of course,

the Dwarf King was also somewhat worried. If there were no rewards, or if the rewards were not up to standard, would Lu Ran help?

Lu Ran seemed to see through the Dwarf King's hesitation and said, “You might as well speak frankly. If you need help, I won't refuse.”

After all, according to Liu Xinxin, these Evil Spirit Griffins are all dark-type creatures, and Lu Ran can control them at will!

Just one glance would make them all obedient.

The Dwarf King then gritted his teeth and said, “Your ability is outstanding. If you are willing to help, that would naturally be best, but the reward…”

Lu Ran understood at this point that there probably wouldn't be much reward.

But then,

the Dwarf King added, “Regarding the Evil Spirit Griffin invasion, I have issued a regional public quest, but the rewards are very small. It’s based on hunting Evil Spirit Griffins. For every Evil Spirit Griffin you professional players hunt, you get three times the experience. Besides that, there are no other rewards. You see, if you think the reward is too little, it’s okay not to help, just leave here…”

“That's a lot!” Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

Three times the experience!

All he wanted was experience!

Lu Ran didn't lack combat power.

For equipment, Lu Ran was wearing two Holy Artifacts, paired with hades' crystal skull, making him invincible!

He just lacked experience now, lacked experience to level up!

Of course,

if there was Holy Artifact-level equipment, Lu Ran would want it too.

“What level are these Evil Spirit Griffins?” Lu Ran asked.

“The lowest is Level 70, and the highest is Level 80, fluctuating within that range,” the Dwarf King said.

“Aren't you the Level 100 Dwarf King?” Lu Ran asked curiously.

“Although I can instantly kill Evil Spirit Griffins, the Dwarf are completely incapable of aerial combat and cannot ascend to engage in aerial combat. Besides their respective melee weapons, all Dwarf also possess the ability to operate firearms, but…”

But the problem was that for all these years, the Dwarf had been unable to forge equipment.

The remaining firearms were not enough, their quality was low, and their attack power was insufficient.

Coupled with the Evil Spirit Griffins' high speed and attack, the Dwarf's resistance seemed very weak.

Although the eternal fire had now returned to the dwarf furnace, the Dwarf had not yet had time to forge equipment, and it was too late to resist this wave!

“I see…” Lu Ran nodded.

Watching the Evil Spirit Griffin swarm getting closer and closer.

Lu Ran said, “Don't worry, I will help. In a moment, those of you who can hide should hide, and those who can't, it doesn't matter, I'll handle it.”

“You alone? But your Undead Army can't fly either, can they?” the Dwarf King asked worriedly.

“The Undead Army can't fly, but I can!” Lu Ran chuckled.

The next second,

Bang!

The Elf Wings suddenly unfurled.

Huge wings spread out behind Lu Ran, emitting the unique sacred aura of the Elves.

And at this moment,

both the Dwarf guards inside the Giant Stone Fortress and the other Dwarf in the city,

were all looking at the sky with terrified expressions.

As the Evil Spirit Griffins drew nearer, the deep-seated fear in their hearts surfaced on every Dwarf’s face.

And just then,

as the Evil Spirit Griffin swarm drew closer,

a figure suddenly soared into the sky from the Giant Stone Fortress, straight into the clouds!
