Above the cliff.

Lu Ran sat comfortably on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, his body leaning back, gazing up at the sky.

Although he was used to Ye Hongyi and the other two being around.

But suddenly having free time, he really felt a bit unused to it.

Nanami stood aside, glancing at Lu Ran, occasionally looking down at Death Valley.

Neil and the others had yet to appear.

Now, it was unclear if the information was accurate, but passing through Death Valley was no easy feat.

There were quite a few high-level monsters.

Although it wasn't considered a forbidden area, many high combat professionals had risked their lives to pave a way through here in the past.

Neil and the others attempting to pass through Death Valley required a significant price to pay in itself.

Now, with Lu Ran blocking here as well.

"Earlier, when Yamata no Orochi attacked you, why didn't you lose health?" Nanami suddenly asked.

Lu Ran glanced at Nanami when he heard this.

From this angle.

Looking up.

The waves on Nanami's chest were even more apparent.

In terms of figure, she was even better than Ye Hongyi and Liu Xinxin!

However.

Liu Xinxin was serene, Ye Hongyi was alluring, two completely different styles, different from Nanami.

At this moment, Nanami was more like a defeated person, a once-proud peacock now reduced to submission.

"Want to know?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, teasingly asked.

Nanami was taken aback, and immediately frowned.

Turned her head, ignoring Lu Ran.

Lu Ran shrugged, joking, could he really tell her?

Even though he could control Nanami, not everything could be shared with her.

Letting her watch him fight was already generous enough!

"Neil, as the Storm Guild leader, has strong combat power. It's not comparable to other high combat professionals, and if the information Yu Qingcang received is accurate, Neil didn't bring a small number of people. Are you sure you have no problems? Your ability to not lose health shouldn't last long, right?" Nanami suddenly asked.

As soon as the words fell.

Suddenly, she recalled Lu Ran's previous instant kill of Yamata no Orochi with the blood spear.

She added, "Even if you can insta-kill Neil, what about the others? That kind of burst seems like it's a one-time thing."

Lu Ran looked at Nanami amusingly.

Asked, "Why? Are you worried about me?"

Nanami did finally guess right this time; the blood spear was a one-time use that required charging, and a second blood spear within a short time actually did average damage.

Nanami said plainly, "I'm just curious, a newbie with an awakened profession for twenty days, daring to face Neil and the others alone, yet Yu Qingcang and the rest still trust you so much."

This indicates that, at least in the eyes of Yu Qingcang and the others, Lu Ran had the ability to take down Neil and his people!

"Stop trying to pry information from me. I'll tell you what I should, and don't ask what you shouldn't know, just watch obediently." Lu Ran casually said.

Nanami looked at Lu Ran in astonishment.

Not trying to gather information but genuinely very curious about Lu Ran.

This Undead Mage who once dominated the Endless Tower's global ranking was unexpectedly just a newbie professional with an awakened profession for twenty days!

"In the Deathmatch Arena, you killed so many high combat professionals from the U.S.A, and then another batch in the Southern Border. I didn't expect the U.S.A to arrange a third wave, and led by Neil himself, they really regard you highly," Nanami continued chattering.

"Isn't that normal, weren't you here to kill me too?" Lu Ran replied without turning his head.

Upon hearing this.

Nanami immediately deflated.

Better not to mention it, every time this was brought up, Nanami's heart couldn't help but twitch!

Bringing Yamata no Orochi to Longxia and finding Lu Ran wasn't difficult, but the outcome was something she could not have imagined either.

Not only did she fail, but she was also completely controlled by Lu Ran!

She sat dejectedly not far from Lu Ran.

But her posture wasn't as relaxed as Lu Ran's.

Instead, she looked more like a poor little girl, curled up, hugging her knees, head resting on her knees.

This action gave her some sense of security.

Lu Ran turned his head to glance at Nanami, seeing her silent, he also didn't bother to speak, continuing to turn back to stare at Death Valley.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of Death Valley.

Neil was steadily leading his people forward.

The team was quite large, with as many as forty or fifty people!

Being able to gather so many high combat professionals, Neil was determined to win this time.

And Nanami was right.

Neil's combat power was much more terrifying than other hidden professionals of the same level.

He was enveloped in the purple Hellfire.

Wielding a special scythe weapon that he continuously wielded.

The scythe head was connected to a chain that also burned with purple Hellfire, sweeping around.

Wherever it passed, low-level monsters were instantly killed.

And even high-level monsters, once attacked by Neil, the Hellfire would start corroding their bodies, with life points rapidly decreasing.

Others would quickly finish them off, and although the progress of the team was slow, there were no dangers.

"Leader, how much further?" a professional beside him asked.

"Almost there." Neil glanced at the map and replied casually.

Actually, everyone could view the map.

Did they really not know how far it was?

But indeed, fighting in a place like Death Valley required high mental tension.

Although Neil could control the overall situation, if any team member fell into danger and Neil also had to risk rescuing them, with Neil's arrogance, he definitely wouldn't make a move!

The team understood Neil as well.

But indeed, it wasn't far from the exit of Death Valley; once they reached that, they would leave the danger zone.

And the entire northwest area was desolate.

Neil and his men could quickly hide themselves, blend into Longxia, and start scouting for the Undead Mage's information!

"Everyone, let's pick up the pace. Once past the exit, I'll arrange hiding strategies. There are only ten days left before the national war, and we must kill that Undead Mage before then!" Neil shouted to his team behind him.

Honestly, Neil himself had no confidence.

One wave at the Deathmatch Arena, another at the Southern Border, all the dispatched people died!

Especially at the Deathmatch Arena, where the Undead Mage slaughtered around, even when the five guild leaders teamed up, they were wiped out by the opponent!

Were it not for being forced into it, Neil would never have wanted to risk going to Longxia.

But since they were here, without any commotion, how could they return?

As the first guild leader of the U.S.A, his status would become a joke.

The members behind all responded in unison, and the team began to pick up speed, with the Hellfire on Neil burning even more fiercely.

They just didn't know.

On the distant cliff.

Two figures were silently watching this scene.

"Evil Soul Knight, it must be Neil, judging by the number of people, there are fifty or so," Nanami murmured.

Lu Ran, hearing this, stood up.

Stretched lazily, relaxed his body, and said, "Let's get to work!"
