Lu Ran was very excited about this.

After all, it was the first time coming to Black Dragon Mountain.

This is, so far, the highest specification and level large-scale team dungeon that human professionals can enter!

Of course, it's also the highest difficulty!

Just the size of this dungeon alone was enough to make Lu Ran excited.

But looking at the others' faces, each was stranger than the next.

Including Liu Xinxin, Lei Tai, Yu Qingcang, Ye Hongyi, and Nanami.

Everyone was familiar with it, as they had all been here before.

However, they had never cleared it successfully!

That means many of their previous attempts ended in failure.

And failure means deaths of professionals, sometimes more, sometimes fewer.

But it was enough to create immense psychological pressure for them!

Imagine entering the dungeon again, where they had witnessed many teammates die, thinking how difficult it seemed.

What would their mood be like?

The professionals in this team were arranged according to habitual roles and past professions.

But this time, cooperation isn't what it's about.

"This time, how are we playing?" Lei Tai asked the crucial question.

Liu Xinxin and the others looked at Lu Ran.

Everyone else focused their gaze on Lu Ran as well.

Lu Ran noticed this.

He said, "We can fight however we want."

His skills can cover the entire Black Dragon Mountain, but due to certain mechanisms, he can't stand in one place and clear the entire Black Dragon Mountain. He needs to follow the dungeon mechanism to make some elites or bosses appear to continue the slaughter.

But his casual comment puzzled everyone else.

Someone couldn't help but ask:

"What do we need to do?"

"How do we cooperate?"

"Do we follow the original route and adapt as we go?"

"It takes a long time to reach the first boss, there are quite a few monsters."

"When do we start?"

...

Various questions emerged.

They thought a lot, which is normal, considering the nightmare-like Black Dragon Mountain they faced, could they not think much?

But Lu Ran, on the contrary, had simpler thoughts.

After contemplating for a few seconds, Lu Ran asked: "Back when the U.S.A. cleared it for the first time, how long did it take? What's the speedrun record for Black Dragon Mountain at normal difficulty?"

This was something Lu Ran hadn't really looked into.

But actually, in the dungeon hall's selection list, one can see the detailed global clearance time rankings.

It's just that not many people pay attention.

Because up until now, globally, Black Dragon Mountain has only one record, which is the U.S.A.!

There is no second country.

"04:22:07, I remember clearly, it can't be wrong," Liu Xinxin said thoughtfully.

Ah?

Lu Ran's eyes widened.

More than four hours?

Almost four and a half hours!

It takes this long to clear a dungeon?

Keep in mind that this is just the lowest difficulty level of Black Dragon Mountain!

"No wonder it's the highest level and specification team dungeon, so far only the U.S.A. has cleared it, and it took over four hours, almost four and a half hours," Lu Ran remarked.

"Have you figured out how to fight?" Liu Xinxin asked.

"Almost, once we step out of the safe zone, that's when the timer starts, right?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yes, once everyone steps out of the safe zone, the timer starts, and monsters refresh uniformly," Liu Xinxin nodded.

To make Lu Ran understand more in detail.

She continued:

"There's only one route, starting from the mountain foot, winding upward, no other route."

"The entire area has five bosses, twenty-five elites."

"Each of the five bosses has its own arena, among the elites, thirteen have fixed refresh points, the rest are elite leaders with monsters."

"Currently, Longxia's strategy progression has reached the third boss, and the third boss hasn't been cleared yet."

"Therefore, starting from the third boss, the follow-up route isn't very clear to us."

"Longxia once sent envoys to the U.S.A., wanting to purchase the subsequent route and mechanism, but the U.S.A. refused."

...

After Liu Xinxin finished explaining, she looked at Lu Ran.

This was something Lu Ran had considered.

He just hadn't expected Longxia to have only reached the third boss.

And not even cleared the third boss!

No wonder the U.S.A. was so arrogant.

Given that other countries haven't even cleared the third boss, they completed the final Black Dragon, claiming global honors!

If it were Lu Ran, he'd want to boast too.

"Since that's the case, let's first view the route. After passing the normal difficulty, familiarize ourselves with the route, then we can crush it directly afterward," Lu Ran mused.

Moreover.

Even so, Lu Ran was confident in crushing the U.S.A.'s time!

And in a way that the U.S.A. wouldn't even see the tail lights!

"Alright, view the route, then we'll proceed normally?" Liu Xinxin said.

"Alright, proceed as usual," Lu Ran nodded.

Immediately.

All the professionals behind him appeared serious, one by one took out their weapons, and started entering combat readiness mode.

The atmosphere was rather serious, even somewhat solemn and heavy.

After all.

They had seen too many teammates die within Black Dragon Mountain.

For them, this place was a nightmare!

Unfortunately.

Today, there was simply no chance for them to take action.

After Lu Ran made up his mind, he was the first to step out of the safe zone.

Everyone else followed him out.

Once everyone stepped out of the safe zone, the dungeon timing began.

Actually, even ordinary dungeons have timing, but not many focus on speedrun records for ordinary dungeons, it's meaningless.

Because once the level is high, going to low-level dungeons, speedrun records are easily achieved.

Furthermore, it has a lot to do with profession characteristics.

It's not about who's stronger, but about who's faster!

But here, it's different.

Speedrun records represent the strength of this country, this team!

Everyone anxiously watched the mountain path ahead.

Monsters could already be seen.

"In the first phase, on the mountain road leading to the first boss, wandering there are level 60 ogres."

"They're a race enslaved by the Black Dragon."

"Not difficult, ogre attacks are moderate, slow speed, but high defense and health, takes time."

"Of course, that's our usual experience, for you… just do as you see fit."

...

Liu Xinxin said to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran nodded.

He said, "Then let's begin, no strategy, just steamroll."

Exactly, just steamroll!

After speaking.

The Sea-stabilizing Trident appeared in Lu Ran's hand.

Continuous streams of undead creatures were unleashed.

Among them, the most numerous were the skeleton soldiers, densely packed and charging forward.

And it's not just ordinary attacks, when they encounter ogres, they directly explode on the spot!

Meanwhile.

Above, thousands of Abyss Bone Dragons hovered, using their skills to attack the ogres below!

Rumble~

The entire Black Dragon Mountain shook and trembled!

As if an apocalyptic disaster had descended!

The professionals behind were stunned.

Is this… is this still Black Dragon Mountain?

"Let's move forward, if you're interested in the monsters' equipment and gold coins, pick them up, otherwise just follow along, getting a grasp on the route and process is most important."

After saying this, Lu Ran led the way forward.

Ahead, the undead army was raging!
