Chapter 88: The Three Guild Leaders Don't Have That Much Capability

"It's so quiet. The Ten Thousand Snake Hall is just ahead," someone beside Wei Yingying voiced her confusion.

Wei Yingying frowned slightly.

She looked around and said, "Why are all the monsters that were originally in this vicinity gone? It's like the scattered ones we've encountered along the way have just respawned."

As soon as she spoke,

the few people around her exchanged glances.

"So, the Three Guild Leaders cleared all the monsters along the way?" someone asked.

"That doesn't make sense," Wei Yingying shook her head and said, "The monsters around here are generally not high-level. Although the monsters around the Ten Thousand Snake Hall are denser, they pose no threat to the three of them. There's no need to waste time clearing them, and they don't give much experience."

But while that was true,

there were indeed no monsters around.

"The Ten Thousand Snake Hall is just ahead. We'll know once we ask," Wei Yingying said.

With that, she quickened her pace.

She led the others through the bushes and dense forest ahead.

Before long, their vision suddenly cleared, and the vast, open area of the Ten Thousand Snake Hall appeared.

But what lay before everyone was like a scene ravaged by an apocalyptic disaster.

In the Outer Hall Area,

there were snake monster corpses everywhere, all kinds of snake monsters densely covering the ground, thick ones and thin ones, not a single one still alive!

Some of the corpses had already begun to decompose into data.

But a large number of snake monsters still remained motionless in their dead state.

The scent of blood in the air, mixed with the damp air of the dense forest, was like a viscous blood mist, making everyone uncomfortable.

Wei Yingying and the others were dumbfounded.

They had been attacking for a long time, unable to pass through the Outer Hall.

Although there weren't many high-level monsters in the Outer Hall, their sheer number was too immense.

And the Inner Hall was even more dangerous. Even when Wei Yingying had brought people here a few times before, she didn't dare to use all her methods in the Outer Hall.

But now...

How long had it been?

Ye Hongyi and her group had just arrived, and Wei Yingying, out of curiosity, had followed closely behind with her people.

"How... how did they do this?"

"The Outer Hall Area is clear at a glance; all the snake monsters are dead!"

"Oh my goodness, how much time has passed?"

"Has it been twenty minutes? Not even fifteen minutes, right?"

...

Wei Yingying looked up at the dark entrance of the Inner Hall.

She mused, "It must be them. They've already cleared the Outer Hall and gone into the Inner Hall."

She had originally thought that Ye Hongyi's direct agreement meant she was unwilling to give in or bow her head, but now it seemed she truly had the capability!

But...

Even the Three Guild Leaders wouldn't be this exaggerated, would they?

Neither Ye Hongyi's Inferno Celestial Master,

nor Lei Tai's Earth Knight,

nor Liu Xinxin's Elf High Priest,

could possibly do it!

And besides them, there was only one extra person in their team.

That was the Undead Mage, Lu Ran!

Combining this with the recent widely discussed Undead Mage Deathmatch Arena incident,

and Yu Qingcang's sudden decision to close cross-country teleportation,

could it be... that Lu Ran was that mysterious Undead Mage?

But he was only Level 20 something!

Looking up, the snake monster corpses all over the ground were still gradually being cleared by the system.

In the direction of the Inner Hall,

through the dark stone gate, they could faintly hear the rustling sounds of snake monsters hissing inside.

"They should be in the Inner Hall now. What terrifying combat power. Could they really get the Titan Python's venom sac?" someone asked. "Should we go in and see how the big shot fights?"

But Wei Yingying shook her head.

She said, "There's nothing to see. The Inner Hall is extremely dangerous. They can fight it, but we can't. We didn't make any preparations today. With just a few of you, without even healing Gu, are you sure we won't die if we go in?"

Upon hearing this,

the faces of the few people immediately looked a bit awkward. It seemed that was truly the case!

They had never entered the Inner Hall before, and every time they tried with a large gathering in the Outer Hall, they ended up in a sorry state.

Now, with just a few of them and no combat preparations, rushing into the Inner Hall like this would probably be suicide.

"Let's wait here," Wei Yingying said. "I hope they come out alive."

Anyway, the Outer Hall area wouldn't respawn until the Titan Python was killed, making it very safe. So they would just wait there.

Inside the Inner Hall.

The surrounding snake monsters were almost indistinguishable.

Bone Storm stacked infinitely, raging across the entire area!

To avoid any accidents, Undead Touch was also continuously cast.

Occasionally, Lu Ran would directly control nearby snake monsters, making them join the fight against other surrounding snake monsters.

The monster clearing speed was incredibly fast!

Experience naturally soared.

It was just a pity that the Inner Hall area was much smaller. Although the monsters gave more experience, their numbers had significantly decreased.

Twenty minutes later.

[Level successfully increased to Level 28!]

"Leveled up!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

"Not bad, not bad. Much faster than I expected. Killing all these remaining monsters, while not enough to reach Level 29, will still give a lot more experience," Ye Hongyi said with satisfaction.

Liu Xinxin and Lei Tai were also very happy.

Once Lu Ran reached Level 30 and could enter team dungeons, the speed would be much faster.

Moreover, when Lu Ran reached Level 30, he would also unlock new skills and attributes.

Based on past experience, every attribute was fundamentally heaven-defying, and the new attribute that was about to appear would definitely cause a qualitative leap in Lu Ran's combat power!

A few minutes later.

The Inner Hall was completely cleared.

The enslaved snake monsters also fought each other to the death.

However, there was an unexpected incident: the balance wasn't controlled well, and ultimately, one controlled monster was left over.

But Ye Hongyi easily killed it.

Although Lu Ran couldn't deal damage to monsters he controlled, as long as they weren't in a team, Ye Hongyi could treat them as enemy units and simply kill them.

"It's cleared. Where is the Titan Python?" Lu Ran looked around and asked.

The Inner Hall area wasn't large to begin with.

Now that the monsters were all cleared, it was clear at a glance.

But the Titan Python's figure was not seen.

Only a statue of a woman with a human head and snake body was seen on the altar in the middle of the Inner Hall.

"We've never killed a Titan Python before, and we've never even entered the Inner Hall, so I don't know, but it should require a mechanism to trigger it," Ye Hongyi mused.

Then she walked to the altar.

Looking at the statue in front of her, she continued, "This is the snake god worshipped before the datafication."

Lu Ran stared at the statue.

He said in surprise, "I thought the Titan Python would be very ferocious and terrifying. I didn't expect it to be quite beautiful."

Thump!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hongyi gave Lu Ran's head a hard knock.

She said, half-laughing, half-crying, "Beautiful my foot. The snake god worshipped in Miao Village isn't the Titan Python. This statue is of the Goddess Nuwa. The Titan Python is a BOSS generated by datafication and didn't exist in the original worship."

As soon as her voice fell,

Rumble~

The entire Inner Hall began to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
