If it were before, Qin Wuyao might have hesitated.
Because the difficulty of the Rift Dungeon and a team dungeon of the same level is comparable.
The level 10 Rift Contract in Lu Ran's hands would naturally open up a Rift Dungeon equivalent to the difficulty of a level 10 dungeon.
Lu Ran was an level 8 Undead Mage, and although Qin Wuyao had a hidden profession, she was only level 5.
Professionals owning a Rift Contract would either choose to sell the contract or hire or find a higher-level professional they knew to help clear it.
Under normal circumstances, a level 10 Rift Dungeon would be impossible for an level 8 Undead Mage and a level 5 Space Walker to complete.
But now, Qin Wuyao had no hesitation.
She knew that unlike team dungeons, which could be entered solo, Rift Dungeons had rules requiring at least two people and at most five people to enter!
The reason Lu Ran brought her over was probably just to have a helper.
He might not have even thought of this helper contributing to the fight.
Then, the two quickly returned to the previous Illusion King Butterfly area and, after more than ten minutes, precisely located the specific position of the Rift Dungeon entrance marked by the Rift Contract.
The mark on the Rift Contract began to flash.
Lu Ran also saw the option to open the Rift Dungeon and chose to open it without hesitation.
Instantly, a mysterious force tore open a hole in the space before them.
Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao exchanged a glance and stepped in together.
After a brief blur in vision, an open area appeared before them, similar to the Illusion King Butterfly area they had been in before, featuring a slope.
The area was quite large, but instead of Illusion King Butterflies, it was filled with large, lumbering black bears roaming around!
The black fur of the giant bears shone with a cold, eerie light under the sun, with their backs covered in a metallic sheen.
"Level 10 Iron-Backed Bears!" Qin Wuyao recognized them immediately.
Lu Ran was also familiar with them.
Information on low-level dungeons was what was taught the most at the academy.
Lu Ran checked the dungeon name; it was indeed a level 10 Rift Dungeon: Bear Slope.
Rift Dungeons exist independently from regular dungeons, with fixed levels and random monsters.
They have only one BOSS and a varying number of lesser monsters, with no elites.
"The Iron-Backed Bears have a low attack frequency but deal high damage; their defense and health are both substantial. We must be careful," Qin Wuyao advised.
"No problem, let's kill," Lu Ran said nonchalantly.
Then, he struck the ground with his Magic Staff.
A relentless swarm of Skeleton Soldiers began to emerge explosively, instantly covering a large area in front of them!
The open terrain of the dungeon, without fixed regions, allowed Lu Ran to spread the Skeleton Soldiers out, using Corpse Explosion when they encountered Iron-Backed Bears!
[The team successfully killed Iron-Backed Bears, gaining 180 experience]
"Wow, such high experience!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.
Nearly three times the experience of level 5 Frost Wolves in Frost Wolf Valley!
But the difficulty was the same because no matter what the monster was, it was just a bunch of skeletons hacking away, and if that didn't finish them off, Corpse Explosion did!
"Indeed, very high!" Qin Wuyao was also thrilled.
She hadn't been in a dungeon before and had been grinding wild monsters in the field, where experience penalties and the inherently low experience of wild monsters meant only 30 experience points per creature!
Originally, she planned to join a level 5 dungeon party today.
Now, she was first brought by Lu Ran into the Rift Dungeon.
A single monster gave 180 experience!
Moreover, Lu Ran's monster grinding speed was rapid!
Even after the Corpse Explosions of the Skeleton Soldiers, Lu Ran could replenish using naturally recovering Mana Value.
Throughout the process, the two hardly needed to make a move, just looting the corpses of the Iron-Backed Bears along the way.
The Rift Dungeon not only had high experience but also a high drop rate.
Just from these lesser monsters, Lu Ran picked up over a dozen pieces of Blue Equipment and even a piece of rare Purple Equipment!
Unfortunately, all the equipment dropped in this Rift Dungeon were Heavy Armor, useless to Lu Ran, a magic series professional, but they could be sold for money!
Leisurely walking along, Qin Wuyao successfully reached level 6 just as they were about to meet the Bear King.
She was already ranked second on the rookie leaderboard and wasn't far from level 6 already, so leveling up in this high-experience Rift Dungeon was natural.
For Lu Ran, despite the high experience, he was still a long way from leveling up to level 9.
After clearing all the lesser monsters, the two arrived in the Bear King's area.
Having already bombed many Frost Wolf King BOSSes, Lu Ran was familiar with this and, to be safe, gathered a swarm of Skeleton Soldiers outside.
Finally, with a single call, over a hundred Skeleton Soldiers charged forward, using Corpse Explosion as they neared the Bear King!
The Bear King roared in fury, indiscriminately attacking the surrounding Skeleton Soldiers with its raised claw!
But it couldn't withstand the waves of Corpse Explosion.
In less than ten seconds, the Bear King's health bar was depleted, and with a final, sorrowful howl, it collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Bang!
A burst of gear exploded from the Bear King's corpse! Two blue pieces, two purple, and even one that was gold!
"Gold equipment!" Lu Ran's eyes shone brightly.
Gold meant Legendary Equipment!
Even level 10 Legendary Equipment was incredibly valuable!
Excitedly, he rushed over and picked up all the gear.
"It's a pity that this crappy dungeon only drops Heavy Armor, useless for my Magic Series," Lu Ran said, exasperated.
If the Legendary Equipment was for the Magic Series, Lu Ran could wear it at level 10, upgrading his gear!
Now it all had to be sold!
But overall, once all the gear was sold, it was worth a fortune!
Compared to the cost of the Rift Contract itself, it was absolutely worthwhile!
"Lucky, because even if Rift Dungeons have high drop rates, the chance for Legendary Equipment isn't that high," Qin Wuyao remarked on the side.
As for Gold Coins, Lu Ran picked up over five thousand, which wasn't bad either!
At the same time.
At the Liang Family.
Liang Shaoyu and Liang Tai sat together, their faces looking grim.
"Dad, those three guys' Communication Devices are offline; they might have manually set it to do not disturb, not necessarily dead," Liang Shaoyu cautiously suggested.
"Three people sent to kill Lu Ran, no news, and suddenly all set to offline mode?" Liang Tai retorted.
Liang Shaoyu immediately fell silent.
Liang Tai furrowed his brows, pondering, "But if they're dead, how? Killing one Lu Ran shouldn't have led to their deaths, unless there was other involvement, perhaps the Qin Family?"
More importantly, is Lu Ran dead or not? What about the equipment?
"Dad, could those three have gotten greedy with Lu Ran's Levelless Equipment and run away?" Liang Shaoyu suggested, piecing something together.
Liang Tai's face darkened; it wasn't impossible!
But just as the father and son worried about this, someone suddenly entered to report, "Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao have returned from outside the city, safe and sound!"
