Chapter 31 (1/2)

Next, in order to farm more monsters more effectively, Lorne decided to split into two groups to search separately, reducing the time wasted.

The first pair were Lorne and Rimuru.

Although his attributes were very ordinary, with Limu around, it was very easy to deal with a group of Armored Lizards.

The second group consisted of the mantis and the minotaur.

Both of them had excellent combat strength. It was too easy to fight these Armored Lizards.

Just like that, the two teams began to madly sweep through the area.

Under the terrifying output, the Armored Lizards could not resist at all. One by one, the monsters fell to the ground, giving Lorne rich experience points.

…

“White Iron? No need.”

“This is a Bronze equipment. I’ll take it away.”

“Bronze coins, my favorite!”

With Rimuru by his side, Lorne was like a machine cleaning up the battlefield. He only needed to pick up equipment along the way, so the experience points and items in his bag piled up gradually.

However, because he had killed too many monsters, his bag was full. Low-grade White Iron items were basically abandoned in the forest.

As for the worthless Bronze coins, due to the lack of picking restrictions, they became Lorne’s favorite loot in this battle.

As he picked up the loot, he calculated his efficiency in killing the monsters.

He discovered that ever since Little Mantis’ level increased, his efficiency in farming monsters had grown tremendously.

In the beginning, including the time wasted in finding monsters, he could kill three Armored Lizards per minute. However, after Little Mantis reached Level 3, he could harvest four Armored Lizards per minute.

With such efficiency, he could quickly raise the levels of the pets around him to Level 10. It was a happy thought.

However…

A battle where he did not have to deal damage was not challenging at all. After a while, Lorne felt bored.

In order to get accustomed to such a lifestyle, he opened the game’s internal forum and checked the latest news while cleaning up the battlefield.

On the main page of the discussion forum, there was information regarding the latest dungeon [Valley of the Dead].

“Blazing Flame Guild failed to clear the Hard-difficulty dungeon. Everyone has died!”

“The experienced guild, Guild of Creation, failed to clear the Hard-difficulty dungeon. Exploration: 55%.”

“Five top experts of the Dynasty Guild joined forces to explore the [Valley of the Dead] and died at the 50% mark.”

“Thunder God Guild was wiped out in the Hard-difficulty dungeon.”

“…”

Today’s posts were basically all related to the dungeon.

Almost all of the guilds attempted to challenge the dungeon, but in the end, they all failed.

What was even more shocking was that they had all fallen by the 50% progress of the dungeon. It could be imagined how difficult the hell and nightmare-difficulty dungeons would be in the future.

But that was to be expected.

After all, the current players had just reached Level 10 and had yet to improve their equipment. Their strength was very limited.

Moreover, this was the first dungeon in the entire server. The rewards inside were so rich. If the players could clear it easily, it would be too boring.

Lorne continued to look for posts concerning the situation within the dungeon, but did not find the information he needed.
