The dispelling effect greatly reduces the hostility of most wild monsters.

It's something to avoid harassment from wild monsters while traveling.

Lu Ran immediately gave it a gentle squeeze.

Crunch~

The pill shattered.

But the next second.

A foul stench assaulted the nose!

"Damn, this thing is called Demon-Exorcising Incense, and it stinks to high heaven!" Lu Ran almost teared up from the smell, his nose overwhelmed with stimulus, mucus and tears mixing as they were about to spill out!

Lu Ran finally understood why Cong Yu pinched his nose.

But luckily.

The smell only lasted a few seconds and quickly dissipated.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's always like that the first time, you'll get used to it." Cong Yu finally released her nose, sniffed the air, and nodded with satisfaction.

Her pill was also crushed along with Lu Ran's.

Lu Ran wiped away the snot, speechless, and checked the status panel.

Sure enough, he saw the buff from the Demon-Exorcising Incense.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and finish the task." Lu Ran said resignedly.

The Demon-Exorcising Incense did have its effects.

The two of them walked deep into the mountains, and most of the wild monsters they encountered along the way, that would normally attack, chose to ignore them.

Some even avoided them disdainfully.

Presumably, it had something to do with the initial stench of the incense.

There were a few monsters that showed hostility towards them, but did not attack actively.

They arrived at a low-lying area in the depths of the forest.

Cong Yu opened the map and looked around.

Then she licked her lips and said, "This is the place, Lu Ran, be ready to help me kill."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded casually.

"Take it seriously, it's dangerous!" Cong Yu reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Ran replied confidently.

"Well, you are over level forty after all." Cong Yu mumbled.

She then took out another small pill.

Lu Ran was already traumatized.

Quickly saying, "If we're going to fight, let's just fight, don't use these weird things, okay?"

"Oh, this is to lure out the elite." Cong Yu explained.

Then casually crushed the pill in her hand.

Pop~

A faint blue smoke spread out like a shockwave.

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, at least this thing wasn't smelly and didn't really have any noticeable scent.

They waited for a few minutes.

Suddenly.

Sounds of rustling came from the depths of the forest, as if something was hurrying towards them, the bushes rustling as it passed through.

Lu Ran felt a bit tense.

Though he was invincible, the gradually approaching unknown still awakened a primal tension and fear in humans.

But the two of them couldn't even determine the exact direction of the sound.

They just turned their heads around trying to see.

All of a sudden.

Bang~

A giant creature burst out from the bushes on Lu Ran's back right, heading straight for the two of them!

"Holy crap! Why is it so big!" Cong Yu was startled.

Lu Ran turned his head hurriedly.

He saw a giant python over a dozen meters long crashing down like a telephone pole.

Its mouth wide open, coming to bite.

Although Lu Ran wouldn't lose health, as the undead creatures absorbed all the damage.

But being bitten at such close range by the giant python was something he wasn't interested in!

Lu Ran extended a hand, not even bothering to use a weapon, a streak of black light flashed on his wrist.

Buzz~

A larger python was directly thrown out by Lu Ran.

Titan Python!

Since Lu Ran acquired this, he rarely used it, primarily because he didn't really need its help in battles.

But at this moment, it served just the purpose.

The Titan Python appeared and immediately engaged in a biting battle with the elite.

Meanwhile.

Lu Ran glanced at the attributes of the elite.

"Level 50 Elite Viper." Lu Ran muttered, "This thing is a level 50 elite, and you're a level 24 Undead Mage, wanting to kill this?"

He looked quite odd.

This was practically seeking death!

Forget about elites, even level 50 monsters could have Cong Yu dying several times over!

And this elite, to Cong Yu, was even more extreme!

In fact.

Even though Cong Yu had asked Lu Ran for help, if Lu Ran was just an ordinary level 47 Undead Mage, the two of them together still couldn't beat this Elite Viper, and would have been dead here!

"Sorry, I... I didn't expect this one to be so big and the level to be so high." Cong Yu said apologetically.

She knew the intel was wrong.

Here.

Intel mistakes likely meant doom!

But just after she spoke.

Cong Yu looked at the Titan Python entangled in a fight with the Elite Viper.

"This isn't an Undead Mage's skill, right?" Cong Yu asked with bewilderment.

"It's a pet." Lu Ran said casually.

Pet?

Cong Yu was even more dumbfounded.

Where does an Undead Mage get a pet?

And moreover...

Lu Ran's pet could completely overpower the Elite Viper, both in size and combat ability!

"At this rate, this Elite Viper will soon be dead." Cong Yu said in amazement.

The unexpected did happen.

But they didn't expect the result to be even more surprising.

Lu Ran, as an Undead Mage, actually had such a powerful pet!

Unheard of!

Of course.

There were so many things Lu Ran possessed that she was unaware of.

"Still not fast enough." Lu Ran muttered.

But he didn't use the Undead Army he had saved up.

He just gave it a thought.

Legion Guardian activated, ten enhanced Skeleton Soldiers were thrown out by him.

And Legion Guardian itself was already an enhancement of regular Skeleton Soldiers.

Plus, Lu Ran's attributes.

Tenfold increase!

Furthermore, with Lu Ran's attribute, and magic power enhancement.

The potential of these ten Skeleton Soldiers was evident!

"This is Legion Guardian? Summoning ten Skeleton Soldiers at once, so awesome!" Cong Yu said enviously.

But she felt that Lu Ran's Legion Guardian summoned Skeleton Soldiers seemed more robust than those summoned by higher-level Undead Mages with the same skill.

She thought those ten Skeleton Soldiers were going to gang up on the Elite Viper.

But in the end.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

.....

These Skeleton Soldiers almost simultaneously executed Corpse Explosion!

The tenfold enhanced Skeleton Soldiers, the Corpse Explosion damage they caused, instantly emptied the nearly exhausted health bar of the Elite Viper.

Gulp~

Cong Yu swallowed her saliva and looked at Lu Ran.

This guy...so strong!

"Pack up the quest items." Lu Ran instructed Cong Yu.

"Oh, oh." Cong Yu snapped back to reality and quickly gathered the items needed for the commission.

Then they didn't dare stay there any longer.

Fearing that the small pill from earlier might attract more Elite Vipers, they quickly descended the mountain with Lu Ran.

After turning in the quest back in town.

Cong Yu said to Lu Ran: "The gold coin reward is a hundred thousand, I'll split... um... I'll split sixty thousand with you, sorry, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous today."

Lu Ran wasn't angry about that.

He just thought Cong Yu was a bit unreliable in her work.

He had no reason to be angry, since he was invincible anyway.

"I don't mind, but you should be sure to verify before taking action in the future, quests that exceed the difficulty limit you're able to handle should be avoided or you might actually end up dead." Lu Ran kindly advised.

Although Lu Ran wasn't short of money, he still took the sixty thousand!

Payment for services!

"Got it, do you have time tomorrow, we can play again?" Cong Yu carefully put away the gold coins, and asked.

"Tomorrow is the Hundred Cities League, I have a match." Lu Ran replied casually.

"Oh right, the Hundred Cities League." Cong Yu smacked her forehead, but then immediately pouted and said, "Tch, there he goes being all showy again, let's watch the match together tomorrow!"
