Chapter 33 The Serpent Forest
Dungeons aren't really only underground.

This is common sense in this world.

"Gaiton, you go ahead of me," Lu Cang instructed.

"what?"

"me?"

The fat man holding the shield paused for a moment.

Lu Cang almost rolled his eyes.

What is this guy talking about?

You're the tank in the team. If you don't go in front, am I, the mage, supposed to go in front?

"Correct."

"okay."

Gai Dun walked ahead of Lu Cang.

Behind Lu Cang was the healing mage Ji Di, and slightly behind Ji Di was the gatherer uncle Zhou Er.

You're supposed to be a soldier, right?
Standing further back than the wet nurse? Are you even a man...?

However, Lu Cang was too lazy to say anything more.

After all, he was recruited as a gatherer and only paid one fee.

Since he didn't contribute his soldiers' efforts, Lu Cang couldn't say anything.

The forest was shrouded in mist.

After the four entered the forest, Lu Cang gently raised his hand.

"Wind Blast (LV: 172)"

boom!
The terrifying hurricane blew in all directions!

The mist that had permeated the entire forest vanished in an instant.

After the fog dissipated.

The entire forest was then illuminated by a bright and soft light.

The light illuminated every detail, shining through all the shadows without leaving any blind spots.

"Eternal Lamp (LV: 200) (Evolvable)"

The highest spell proficiency level for a level 2 mage is LV: 200.
Once you reach LV:100 or higher, the experience points required to upgrade each spell also increase significantly.

Even after five days, Lu Cang was still unable to level up all his skills to level 200.

Other spells cannot be practiced on the go.

Lu Cang has mastered only the harmless and readily available spell, Hengdeng.

Moreover, Lu Cang only discovered this after reaching level 200...

The level 200 Transcendent Magic can continue to evolve.

However, Lu Cang was not in a hurry to evolve Hengdeng, so he decided not to choose it for the time being.

The fog was blown away, and the light shone through.

The entire forest, which had been shrouded in mist, suddenly became clear.

How many snakes are on which tree?

You can clearly see what dangers are in each tree hole.

Immediately afterwards...

boom!
boom!
Bang bang bang bang!

Fireballs, Ice Shuttles, Ground Spikes, Cursed Arrows, Silent Wind Swarms...

Various spells were unleashed.

All I could see were snakes of all shapes and sizes falling from the trees, some charred, some frozen, some cut into pieces, with a crackling sound like rain.

Soon.

Within a visible range, all the monsters were wiped out.

At least to the naked eye.

Not a single fish escaped the net.

"So...so strong."

They had barely stepped into the dungeon when they had effortlessly dispatched all the visible monsters.

"Go and gather them."

Lu Cang said to the uncle.

The uncle was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening and began collecting the demons that Lu Cang had killed.

Lu Cang watched him work.

"Repair it," he murmured.

Touching a dead monster will partially restore the damage to its body.

Repair it?
Collecting is also a profession.

Since it's a profession, there are skills required for that profession.

However, the restoration is not entirely complete.

The monster's corpse was not restored to its original state.

Especially snakes that have been burned to charcoal can only recover a small amount.

However, snakes with minor injuries, such as those killed directly by the electric arc of "Lightning Flash," fared much better. They could generally recover completely.

But those who were directly hit by the lightning and blown to smithereens...

Well, there's really nothing we can do.

After collecting the snake carcasses, he also found two unusual mushrooms and harvested them.

After the collection was completed, he reported: "Seventy-two gray snakes, each worth about 10 to 20 copper coins; fifteen gray venomous snakes, all with complete venom sacs collected, each worth 12 silver coins; plus the two snake mushrooms collected, the total harvest is about 2 gold coins and 15 silver coins."

what?
many.

At that time, in the Shadow Caverns, the reward for completing the dungeon plus the commission was only 2 gold and 26 silver.

Even without considering the rewards, it's already 2 gold and 15 silver medals.

This is before even defeating the dungeon lord.

It seems that bringing along a gatherer will indeed greatly increase the harvest.

Of course, it could also be because it's harvest month.

"Yes, let's continue exploring."

Keep going.

We didn't encounter many monsters.

Perhaps it was because Lu Cang had already cleared out most of the monsters as soon as he stepped into the underground city.

If you were to grope your way through the fog normally, you would have to walk quite a distance before you would encounter the snakes hiding in the trees.

Lu Cang's domineering gust of wind illuminated...

They immediately began the slaughter, giving the monsters no chance to ambush them.

Continuing their exploration, they encountered a few more monsters.

Lu Cang was very cautious.

Use "wind to clear away" fallen leaves to ensure that the path you want to walk on is completely unobstructed.

At the same time, they used "Sinking Shadow Swamp" to pave the way forward.

Make sure there are no potholes or traps on the ground you are walking on.

As for the demons that appeared in his sight, Lu Cang would immediately use lightning flashes and wind blades to deal with them as soon as he saw them.

The monsters didn't even have time to wait for Lu Cang to enter their attack range before they were blasted to death by the violent magic.

This is a cautious operation.

Gaydon and Giti were somewhat embarrassed by what they saw.

No... buddy.

If you're so strong, what do you need us for?
This kid's strength doesn't seem like he'd get hurt at all.

They had actually teamed up with level 2 mages before.

The strength displayed by those mages was probably less than one percent of Lu Cang's...

When you want them to work, you have to listen to them chanting incantations for ages before finally throwing out a fireball that doesn't do any real damage.

If it weren't for the flexibility of spells and the versatility of their applications... adventurers would still prefer to team up with archers rather than mages.

In the case of ranged attacks, at least the other party doesn't need to cast spells or regenerate mana.

As Ji Di gazed at Lu Cang's retreating figure, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for the child before her.

This is the second genius magician...

I walked about a kilometer.

Ironically, the most time-consuming part of the journey was the collector Zhou Er gathering materials.

He couldn't even pick up the loot as fast as Lu Cang could kill it.

"Zhou Er, come back."

"But Captain, there's still..."

However, upon seeing Lu Cang's calm gaze, Zhou Er immediately stopped what he was doing and regrouped with the team.

Lu Cang could sense it.

The dark elements ahead are stirring, converging intensely in one direction.

The leaves around us rustled.

Lu Cang looked in the direction of the elemental flow.

Swah——

Finally, through the dense forest obscuring our view, we saw a huge snake's head!

Its body also becomes clear from its mimicry colors that almost blend in with the trees!

hiss--

The giant snake coiled among the trees, flicking its scarlet tongue.

Lu Cang's expression darkened slightly.

This snake.

I know myself.

What a coincidence! Are you the lord again this time?

"Shadow Serpent King"
