Lu Ran was contemplating.
Suddenly, an assassin approached, but the target wasn't Lu Ran.
The opponent was incredibly fast, almost instantaneously closing in, with a dagger pointed at Qin Wuyao.
He said, "Young lady, I advise you not to touch the communication device."
At this moment, Qin Wuyao was raising her wrist, intending to use the communication device to notify the Qin Family.
But she was stopped by the opponent.
"Touch the communication device again, and I'll kill you right here!" the opponent said coldly.
The leading young man and another person also came over.
Qin Wuyao's pretty face furrowed, and she said, "Didn't the Liang Family tell you my identity before you acted? My father is Qin Lie. Have you considered the consequences if you dare to take action?"
Qin Lie's name was still quite formidable.
The expressions of the three changed.
The leading young man stared at Qin Wuyao and then sneered, "What does being Qin Lie's daughter matter? Killing you here, who would know it was us? The globalization of data has its advantages; destroying bodies and erasing traces has become much simpler."
Seeing that even mentioning her father was useless, Qin Wuyao's heart sank to the bottom.
Though still unsure how Lu Ran brushed through the dungeon, facing three high combat assassins, this journey was likely fraught with danger!
Even she, Qin Wuyao, might die here!
Having said that, the young man also raised his dagger, intending to kill Lu Ran first.
But at this moment, Lu Ran suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
The young man paused, stared at Lu Ran, and said, "What trick are you trying to pull? Let me tell you, buying us off is futile. Not that we are overly loyal, but killing you, everything on you becomes ours. The Liang Family only wants the equipment on you."
Lu Ran shook his head and said, "Though this is the wilderness, there's a chance someone might pass by. If you're seen while taking action here, you won't get away with it. After all, killing me is one thing, but Qin Wuyao is Qin Lie's daughter."
The young man frowned upon hearing this.
But he also cautiously looked around and said, "Enough nonsense, there's no one else here!"
Lu Ran continued, "What I mean is, we can head to that White Tiger Gully ahead; it's secluded, no one will find out after you kill us, and I came here with Qin Wuyao because of the Rift Contract in my hand. The contract marks a spot in White Tiger Gully; once you kill the two of us, you can run a Rift Dungeon, why not?"
Oh?
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up.
He also saw the Rift Contract map in Lu Ran's hand.
It's just that, without forming a team, they couldn't see the content displayed on the map.
The other two young men couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You kid sure knows the ropes, finding your own burial place, but too bad, even so, we won't spare you." One of them said.
However, Lu Ran's proposal indeed piqued their interest.
White Tiger Gully is secluded, rarely visited, perfect for killing without leaving traces!
Moreover, they can run a Rift Dungeon, quite profitable!
"Lead the way, or we'll act now!" the young man threatened.
"Alright, let's go." Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction.
He intended to kill these three, but they were assassins, incredibly fast!
This place was wide open; even if Lu Ran summoned skeleton soldiers with no cooldown to perform corpse explosion, chances were slim to keep them here.
But once at White Tiger Gully.
They would have no escape!
Beside him, Qin Wuyao was completely bewildered, wondering why Lu Ran, instead of trying to escape, was leading them into White Tiger Gully, which was truly a dead-end!
Because of fear, she clung tightly to Lu Ran, her small face pale.
Despite being intelligent from a young age, she grew up in the affluent part of town, and after awakening her profession just yesterday, she was now facing a deadly situation in the perilous outdoors.
The fear in the young girl's heart was palpable.
Lu Ran noticed Qin Wuyao's tense emotions and gently patted her cool hand before stepping towards White Tiger Gully.
Along the way, the three stayed close, with one trailing behind.
Encountering Illusion King Butterflies, all were instantly killed by the three.
"You three brothers have strong attacks, even Illusion King Butterflies can be instantly killed, I suppose your levels are quite high?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.
"Of course, the three of us are all level eighteen assassins, so weak level thirteen Illusion King Butterflies naturally fall before us." one young man said proudly.
"Level eighteen..." Lu Ran murmured to himself.
At the same time, he felt more assured in his heart!
The level gap wasn't too big, doable!
Conversely, upon hearing the trio's levels, Qin Wuyao's heart sank again.
Three level eighteen assassins killing a level five and a level eight novice is far too easy!
White Tiger Gully is deep, narrow, winding, only allowing forward and side-to-side movement, no climbing.
Within it roamed level fifteen Tail Fire Tigers, not large in size, marked by a distinctive small flame on their tails, primarily yellow and white with more white stripes, giving White Tiger Gully its name.
Lu Ran walked for a while, encountering white tigers on the way, killed by the three assassin young men.
Interestingly, they couldn't insta-kill level fifteen white tigers; it took a couple of rounds and skill combination to take them down.
This provided Lu Ran a clearer understanding of their equipment and overall strength.
"Have we arrived yet? Where's the exact spot?" urged the three impatiently.
"Here, just go in." Lu Ran pointed to the right fork.
This fork was short, just over twenty meters, and most importantly, it was a dead end.
Ideal for killing and robbing!
"Inside here?" the three's eyes lit up.
Upon finding the spot, they could kill!
Kill, loot, then open the Rift Contract entrance and run a dungeon, perfect!
All three walked into the fork at once, surprising even Lu Ran.
Originally pondering how to get them in first, they acted so voluntarily; perhaps, they felt refreshed seeing more Tail Fire Tigers in White Tiger Gully, making them confident that Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao couldn't escape.
If that's the case, then easier.
Without further ado, Lu Ran raised his magic staff.
Boom!
Two wisps of black mist floated out, promptly condensed into two skeleton soldiers.
This action startled the trio, as well as Qin Wuyao.
"What's this, kid? Want to spar with us before dying?" one young man laughed, mocking the two summoned skeleton soldiers, not taking them seriously.
Lu Ran's level eight summoned skeleton soldiers had stats only half of Lu Ran's own attributes.
They could be wiped effortlessly!
The other two young men also amusingly watched Lu Ran.
"That's the idea, but it's not about sparring with you, it's about planning to kill you here." Lu Ran stated directly.
This statement made the three burst into laughter.
Even Qin Wuyao thought Lu Ran might have been driven mad by despair.
"Kid, didn't you pay attention in school?"
"Do you know the gap in levels between professionals can be big?"
"You, trying to kill us three? Haha…"
...
Ignoring their taunts.
Lu Ran took a few steps back, holding Qin Wuyao's hand.
With the other hand, he wielded his magic staff, violently stabbing it into the ground underfoot.
Summoning the undead again!
