CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: HOW CAN OTHER COUNTRIES SURVIVE?

Finally, Lu Ran had cleared all the small monsters.

At this moment in the Land of Flames, two large Elemental Fire Spirits and two large Molten Rock Giants could be seen.

They were bound by the Undead Touch, countless Skeleton Storms relentlessly stacking, ravaging wildly, causing the health of the four elites to plummet!

Before long.

[The team killed an elite Elemental Fire Spirit, gaining 2650 experience points!]

[The team killed an elite Molten Rock Giant, gaining 3100 experience points!]

[The team killed an elite Elemental Fire Spirit, gaining 2650 experience points!]

[The team killed an elite Molten Rock Giant, gaining 3100 experience points!]

...

As the notifications refreshed.

The four elites met their demise.

The entire Land of Flames was completely empty.

Lu Ran looked around in confusion, wondering why he hadn’t seen the BOSS after so long.

Where was the Flame Lord?

At this moment, three people came over from behind.

Liu Xinxin rubbed Lu Ran’s head and softly said, "Don’t look for it; the Flame Lord needs to be triggered. Using skills here is useless. Lei Tai, you go handle it."

Hearing this, Lei Tai, who had just approached, immediately wielded two shields.

Then he slightly bent his legs.

Bang!

The ground’s rocks shattered, and Lei Tai leaped out, charging towards the Flame Lord’s BOSS arena.

In less than two minutes.

[The team killed the BOSS Flame Lord, gaining 8400 experience points!]

The BOSS died just like that.

Then, Lei Tai hurried back.

Excitedly shouting, "How about it, did you see the item effect?"

Liu Xinxin and Ye Hongyi shrugged and looked at the shared item panel in front of Lu Ran.

Lei Tai instinctively asked, "So, is the new item effect to increase skill coverage range?"

This was important; if so, Lu Ran would be unbeatable.

Other countries wouldn’t have a way out.

And Lu Ran was only level 23!

It’s hard to imagine what exaggerated item effects would be unlocked later, and Lu Ran’s power would become even more terrifying!

"Yes, it’s called Vast Sea and Sky." Lu Ran nodded.

At this time, Lei Tai also saw the item panel, and like Liu Xinxin and Ye Hongyi before, he was momentarily stunned.

Although they had just been watching it for a while and had already guessed, actually seeing the item panel right now left them in awe.

In this world, there truly existed such heaven-defying things!

And at this moment, the range shown behind the item had already reached 539 meters!

It was precisely the original 34-meter range, plus the quantity of five hundred small monsters, four elites, and one BOSS in the Land of Flames.

"So, if we take this dungeon as an example, can it be understood as after a run, Lu Ran’s skill coverage range increases by one li?" Lei Tai asked from the side.

"It seems so for now," Liu Xinxin nodded.

"Heaven-defying, really heaven-defying! Damn it, there’s more than twenty days left until the national war, so slow!" Lei Tai cursed and ranted.

He was now eager to bring Lu Ran into the national battleground and have Lu Ran lead Huaxia to crush the world!

"Hey? Lei Tai, you didn’t say that before; weren’t you crying that the time was too short and not enough to prepare?" Ye Hongyi mocked.

"Isn’t that different? Back then, we couldn’t see any hope, plus the U.S. had cleared Black Dragon Mountain, got the Black Dragon Equipment, and started snowballing to get more Black Dragon Equipment. Weren’t you worried before?" Lei Tai retorted with wide eyes.

Ye Hongyi shrugged.

Not only the three of them, but also the Celestial Path Alliance, all the major guilds, and those above were all worried.

But now...

"Now there’s nothing to fear, just the Black Dragon Mountains, it doesn’t matter whether we fight it or not. Instead, when Lu Ran reaches the right level, he can go in and clear it as he wishes. The U.S. cleared it on normal difficulty, and when Lu Ran gets there, he’ll tackle the Abyss directly!" Lei Tai said excitedly.

The few of them excitedly fantasized for a while.

Liu Xinxin then said, "Let’s keep running the dungeon, although Lu Ran’s abilities are now pretty solid, increasing levels to unlock more item effects would be even more stable."

They kept running until evening.

The group emerged from the dungeon.

Their speed in clearing the dungeon had significantly increased.

Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi no longer had to run around everywhere.

After entering the dungeon, the two headed straight for the four elites.

Lu Ran used the Skeleton Storm to infinitely stack and harvest all the small monsters.

Liu Xinxin stayed close to Lu Ran the entire time, occasionally explaining world data after the transformation.

Simultaneously, she didn’t leave his side to prevent any accidents.

Although in this Land of Flames, accidents were unlikely to happen, Liu Xinxin was Lu Ran’s final safeguard.

Following that, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai headed straight for the final BOSS and finished up.

You could say the whole process was almost like running a map.

The experience gained, naturally, was quite substantial.

"I’m exhausted, spent the whole afternoon running maps!" Lei Tai complained, "Ye Hongyi, how about we go to your Celestial Fate Tower and have a good meal?"

"Sure, let’s celebrate Lu Ran unlocking a new item effect," Ye Hongyi said readily.

"Before that, Lu Ran, head to the 52nd floor of the Endless Tower and release your charged Blood Spear," Liu Xinxin didn’t forget the main task.

At the Ikenai Grand Shrine.

Nanami was sitting on the wooden deck next to a wooden house.

A pair of jade feet dangled in the stream, gently stirring.

Behind her stood several people, apart from the top officials of the Ikenai Grand Shrine, there were also a few top officials from Shintoism.

But their attitude towards Nanami was very respectful.

"Nanami, are you planning to attempt the 62nd floor of the Endless Tower?" someone asked from behind.

Nanami’s jade foot paused slightly, watching the ripples gradually fade away.

Nanami shook her head and said, "I don’t intend to. Clearing up to the 60th floor and then the impulsive attempt on the 61st was already risky enough. Too dangerous, even for me. The 61st floor took me twenty-three minutes; going for the 62nd now, are you trying to get me killed?"

The questioner’s face changed slightly.

Quickly said, "That’s not what I meant, just hoping to solidify and make our Sakura’s honor unsurpassable."

Nanami sneered, "At present, who can surpass my floor count?"

As she said this, Nanami’s face was full of arrogance.

Especially since she had suppressed the long-standing leaderboard leader Yu Qingcang.

Moreover, keeping him suppressed right below the critical 60th floor, Nanami’s pride was indeed justified.

"By the way, that Undead Mage, I’ve kept people monitoring him all along, and so far, there’s been no movement. His level is still the 51st floor," a maid suddenly said at this moment.

"That is as expected. Withdraw the surveillance on the Undead Mage; we don’t need to waste time on such a lucky person," Nanami said arrogantly.

But just as she finished speaking.

Another maid came running over in a hurry, her face unpleasant, "That Undead Mage, he... at exactly 6:10 earlier, he successfully cleared the 52nd floor! Currently ranked, twentieth."

Swish~

Nanami’s jade foot trembled fiercely in the pool, creating layers of ripples, just like her heart, stirring a slight ripple.

But she still asked, "How long was the clearance time?"

The maid gritted her teeth and said, "On the 52nd floor, the Undead Mage had the shortest clearance time."
