Chapter 1005, Ice and Fire

Hearing this, Ye Wuxian felt somewhat ashamed. “Isn’t it because I’m too weak? You clearly want to help me, yet I’m still unable to live up to your expectations… Forget it. I should just leave now. You can accumulate points in this Dungeon Instance by yourself. The exit Transport Array is still here, if I leave now, it shouldn’t affect your performance.”

 

As she spoke, Ye Wuxian was about to depart.

 

However, Lu Fan did not let her leave, grabbing hold of her.

 

“You don’t need to leave.” Lu Fan smiled at her. “Don’t worry. Since I brought you here, I won’t let you leave so easily. It’s just a bit hot. I can handle that.”

 

With that, Lu Fan directly utilized his Dragon Language Replication Skill, copying Lin Dong’s Skill, Freezing Walls.

 

Lu Fan raised his hand, and an enormous ice wall instantly appeared, standing erect beside Ye Wuxian.

 

After the ice wall appeared, despite the extreme temperature, it showed no significant signs of melting.

 

After all, this ice wall was a product created by Dragon Language Magic, containing exceptionally powerful Mana within. It could not possibly dissolve simply due to some heat.

 

If it truly melted that easily, wouldn’t breaking through the ice wall be incredibly simple for others?

 

Previously, Lin Dong had used this ice wall to firmly seal Monsters inside a cavern. Even Ancient God Slaves could not break through this ice wall, let alone mere temperature.

 

Due to the ice wall’s presence, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped, allowing Ye Wuxian to breathe easier.

 

She beamed with joy, tapping on the ice wall as solid as steel, exclaiming in amazement. “Lu Fan, you’re truly incredible. With this ice wall, the temperature has seriously dropped.”

 

“Just wait.” Lu Fan smiled, took a deep breath, and exhaled forward.

 

Rage of the Frost Dragon King was released, instantly sending waves of freezing air surging forward, transforming an area of several hundred meters into a frozen wasteland.

 

The temperature dropped again, causing Ye Wuxian to involuntarily shiver.

 

Lu Fan smiled at Ye Wuxian. “See? The high temperature can’t stop me. Now, let’s start accumulating points and strive to secure two slots for the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance.”

 

“Yes!” Ye Wuxian felt incomparably reassured, her eyes sparkling brilliantly as she looked at Lu Fan.

 

The effect of Lu Fan’s Rage of the Frost Dragon King soon ended, and as the surrounding high temperature continued rising, the areas frozen by Rage of the Frost Dragon King transformed back into lava-filled terrain.

 

However, the ice wall showed no significant signs of melting, still maintaining a cool zone to prevent Ye Wuxian from being scorched by the extreme heat.

 

During this time, Lu Fan began investigating how to gain points in this Dungeon Instance.

 

This Map was not particularly large. Neither him nor Ye Wuxian need to explore to search for Monsters.

 

But in such a small Map, where would Monsters appear from?

 

Soon, the Map provided Lu Fan with an answer.

 

Suddenly, the lava on the ground began irregularly bulging upward, forming Monsters of varying shapes. These Monsters mostly resembled lizards. They were not particularly large, with body lengths around three meters.

 

The saliva dripping from their mouths was scalding lava, and wisps of flame continuously spouted from their mouths and noses, appearing quite formidable.

 

Lu Fan used Appraisal to examine them, discovering they were all Monsters around Level 110. Precisely the Level only Fifth Profession Players could handle.

 

After these Monsters took shape, they immediately charged madly toward Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, apparently preparing to attack.

 

Not only that, but Monsters appeared throughout various parts of the entire Map, surrounding Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian completely, launching a coordinated assault.

 

Since the Monsters were automatically delivering themselves, that actually saved Lu Fan a ton of time and effort.

 

Lu Fan had no intention of acting personally, directly summoning Xiao Ye and having her slaughter all the Monsters here.

 

With such extreme temperature, resembling the interior of a volcano, it was the kind of climate a Black Dragon King like Xiao Ye loved.

 

Here, Xiao Ye was like a fish in water, able to demonstrate even more formidable strength.

 

Xiao Ye directly transformed into her World Destroyer Form, excitedly weaving up and down. Each strike could eliminate a vast swath of Monsters such that Lu Fan did not even need to worry about accumulating points at all.

 

All he had to do was watch as points continuously rose.

 

Xiao Ye specialized in Fire Element Skills, sharing the same Element as the Monsters here, so she lacked an Elemental Advantage.

 

Strictly speaking, the one most efficient at killing Monsters here should still be Lin Dong.

 

With Lin Dong’s Ice Element Skills, even though she does not specialise in Damage Output, a single Dragon Breath from her, accounting for the Elemental Advantage, she should be able to instantly kill all the Monsters here. Her Monster-clearing efficiency should far exceed Xiao Ye’s.

 

However, this Map’s characteristics were just unsuitable for Lin Dong.

 

If Lin Dong were summoned, the poor girl would most likely feel extremely uncomfortable.

 

Therefore, Lu Fan had no intention of summoning his other Pet Dragons, instead letting Xiao Ye Solo.

 

With Xiao Ye’s current Level and Attributes, obtaining two slots should be child’s play.

 

Meanwhile, Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian’s task was actually much simpler.

 

The two stayed close to the ice wall, enjoying the cool while watching Xiao Ye weave through the area like a swimming Dragon, continuously killing Monsters.

 

The temperature of this Map was rapidly increasing at a visibly perceptible rate.

 

With the ice wall present, although Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian could not feel the temperature change, they could see the ice wall had gradually begun showing signs of melting.

 

This also indicated that the Map’s temperature had become increasingly extreme. Maybe, some Fifth Profession Players would struggle to withstand it.

 

Simultaneously, the Monsters’ Levels and strength gradually increased. Some lava monsters appearing later even reached Level 125, entering Sixth Profession Change territory.

 

However, these Monsters were still merely ordinary Monsters. If Fifth Profession Players were strong enough, they could still handle them.

 

And so, within the Dungeon Instance, Xiao Ye continued clearing Monsters, killing an unknowable number of them.

 

On the Mission Panel, Lu Fan could see his points continuously rising.

 

Although confident that with his current points, securing one slot should present no issue.

 

Still, maintaining a cautious mindset, he did not leave, allowing Xiao Ye to continue accumulating points here to guarantee obtaining the two slots.

 

Meanwhile, outside…

 

Players emerged from the Dungeon Instance Transport Array in extremely bedraggled states. Seeing that some still had not emerged, they guessed their scores likely would not make the top five.

 

These emerging Players returned to their Family members dejectedly, seeking treatment.
