"Skeleton Warrior, just a friendly reminder, the Rock Monsters in here respawn very quickly, and the drop rate of the Truth Holy Water is extremely low. It’s also entirely possible that you won’t get a single bottle within ten days or even half a month, and that would be normal."

The Elf Queen patiently explained to Su Ran the matters that needed attention, and her explanation was very thorough. It was not hard to see that Su Ran definitely benefitted from his friendly relationship with her.

"By the way, there’s another thing to be careful of; if you want to leave the Misty Formation, you must use a bottle of Truth Holy Water, or else you will be trapped in there forever."

What the hell, that’s harsh!

If I continuously fail to get Truth Holy Water, do I have to delete my account and start over?

Su Ran felt that this was a bit much to handle, his heart filled with a hint of fear. However, to break the seal on the Dragon Soul Sand, he knew he must take this risk!

"Your Majesty, can I call for some help to grind these monsters with me?"

"No, having more people would trigger a killing formation, and no one could survive inside, not even this queen can escape the fate of being killed!"

"What the hell, that’s too strict!"

Hearing the warning tone in the Elf Queen’s voice, Su Ran grew tense, and reluctantly accepted this cruel reality. He understood that for a long time to come, he would have to deal with Rock Monsters in the deep pit...

"By the way, Your Majesty, what level are these Rock Monsters?"

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in peril. This was definitely something he needed to find out in advance. If these Rock Monsters were level 50, jumping down recklessly would be tantamount to suicide!

"What level?"

The Elf Queen scrutinized Su Ran’s skeletal frame carefully and nodded slightly, "The strength of the Rock Monsters here is quite average; they shouldn’t be difficult for you."

"Phew, that’s a relief. I still have the courage to give it a try."

Relieved by what the Elf Queen said, Su Ran breathed easier. If the monsters had been beyond his power and spawned in masses, that really could have cost him his life!

"Skeleton Warrior, you must be careful. The monsters here respawn very fast, and if the Rock Monsters form a group, even with your great ability, you will fail!"

The Elf Queen seemed doubtful that Su Ran would be able to obtain Truth Holy Water and couldn’t help but advise, "I suggest you wait until you’re sufficiently prepared with potions before trying. It’s not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires long-term planning."

Sufficient potions?

Su Ran really wanted to pull out two huge piles of grave grass from his bladder to enlighten the Elf Queen. When it came to potion reserves, he wouldn’t lose out to any player—with his freakishly huge bladder, what couldn’t he store besides urine?

"By the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to ask, did that guy with the green hat meet his end or not?"

Su Ran didn’t take the Elf Queen’s advice to heart; instead, he became curious about the fate of that player with the green hat.

"No, that kid’s Five Elements Escape Technique has too strong of a concealment aspect; we couldn’t begin to look for him, and in the end, he managed to escape."

Mentioning this irritated the Elf Queen, darkening her expression. The space she had been guarding had been infiltrated by humans, which was a huge humiliation!

Human Race, a despicable species!

"Your Majesty, there’s no need to be angry about that guy, it’s not worth it."

Su Ran was startled by the sudden anger from the Elf Queen and quickly offered comfort.

"Skeleton Warrior, I am not in a good state right now; with this, I must take my leave. Take care of yourself."

After imparting these words, the Elf Queen left with a steely face, abandoning Su Ran alone in the chamber.

"Damn, talk about being cheap!"

Su Ran grumbled, glancing at the paintings on the wall of the secret chamber and suddenly feeling a surge of impulse to loot the place clean.

After all, if these ancient paintings were thrown into the Human Race’s auction houses, they would definitely fetch a handsome price!

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Su Ran was shocked to discover that he was already plastered against the wall, lifting the paper slightly, only to realize that these paintings were just system-generated decorations and couldn’t be collected into his inventory. He could only sulk and give up the idea.

Cough cough, I’m a civilized person, I’m above doing such shameless acts without any sense of propriety.

...

"Rock Monster, I want to see whether your respawn rate is faster or my clearing speed is!"

Su Ran’s eyes lingered on the Misty Formation outside the secret chamber, his skeletal frame radiating a fighting spirit that grew more intense, without a hint of hesitation, he summoned all his minions, sparing no one, even the venerable Poisonous Flood Dragon and the Foreign Demon made a grand entrance, indicating how much he valued this adventure.

"It’s time!"

Once out of the secret chamber, Su Ran steadied his spirit and led his pets, dodging every stone pillar, to leap directly into the deep pit of the Misty Formation, causing a series of dull thuds.

"Whoosh!"

A murky light rose from the depths of the pit, forming a barrier of light that trapped Su Ran within.

"Just like the Elf Queen said, I triggered the trap formation the moment I came in. Next, it should be the Rock Monsters’ turn to respawn, right?"

Only then did Su Ran realize that trapped in the pit, he couldn’t even see through the light barrier! This showed just how extraordinary the system’s trap formation was! It seemed his only hope now was to get lucky and find some Truth Holy Water to escape.

In such a dangerous environment, Su Ran first had his Skeleton Warriors form a circle around him, even placing the Dark Bone Lion and the Sand Puppet at the front line, before he carefully surveyed his surroundings, patiently waiting for the Rock Monsters to respawn.

But.

As time ticked away, Su Ran grew increasingly impatient, yet no Rock Monster appeared.

"What’s going on here?"

Su Ran clearly remembered the Elf Queen saying that the Rock Monsters respawned very quickly, but why wasn’t that happening now?

Could it be that the system had crashed?

At this moment, Su Ran was confused; no monsters meant no way out. Could it be that he’d be stuck here for the rest of his life?

Remember, the Foreign Demon had a limited existence, and most of that time had already passed without even a single encounter, making Su Ran incredibly frustrated as he wasted precious high-grade materials for nothing. What a pity!

"There’s something wrong with these pillars!"

Pushing down the irritation in his heart, Su Ran carefully observed his surroundings. When his gaze locked onto the pillars, he unexpectedly sensed a dangerous aura.

It was only then that Su Ran’s heart finally calmed down. He immediately generated a fireball and hurled it at the pillar closest to him.

"Boom!"

The explosion occurred. The pillar couldn’t withstand the power of the fireball and shattered into pieces on the spot.

As Su Ran had predicted, the unexpected finally happened.

It was like a chain reaction; all the pillars started to tremble with a crackling sound. In virtually an instant, each pillar transformed into a Rock Monster. With a fierce momentum, they began to swarm towards Su Ran.
