"Bring it on!"

Su Ran quickly counted; there were about twenty Rock Monsters surrounding him, all within his control range. He used the Detection Technique at the first opportunity to spy on the Rock Monsters’ stats and discovered that their levels were around 30, with low health, high physical attack, and high defense; they weren’t difficult to deal with. No wonder the Elf Queen had said those words; it seemed they really weren’t meant to comfort him.

Since that was the case, why bother being polite to them? Time to start the slaughter!

At this moment, Su Ran held the Illusion Demon Stone Sword and the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe in his hands, and his strength instantly surged, dealing almost a thousand points of critical damage to the Rock Monsters with their defenses—utterly thrilling!

Facing the attacking Rock Monsters, Su Ran didn’t choose to defend but instead directly ordered his pets to a head-to-head fight. The Skeleton Warrior assisted in defense, seizing all possible time to eradicate the Rock Monsters in front of them.

The Elf Queen had emphasized that the monsters’ respawn rate wasn’t slow, and they must never be allowed to gather in numbers!

Under Su Ran’s command, the Bone Centipede and the Dark Bone Lion charged straight into the fray, clashing with three Rock Monsters. From the current situation, Su Ran’s side had a significant advantage. freēwebnovel.com

The Sand Puppet and the Skeleton Warrior formed a team, taking on the defensive duties of their own camp, actively absorbing damage for their teammates.

Meanwhile, the little zombie alone used Soul Bewilderment on three Rock Monsters, becoming a powerful force and controlling them to start slaughtering each other.

The Eternal Poisonous Serpent spared no niceties with the enemy and launched with a move called "Plague Spread," turning the group of Rock Monsters green. Their health steeply declined due to the poison; even the Rock Monsters controlled by the little zombie were not spared, creating quite a spectacular scene.

Finally, it was the Illusion Demon’s turn to enter the battle. This time, Su Ran had refined it with a knockback effect, making the attack incredibly impactful—one punch sent a Rock Monster flying, forceful and straightforward. This excited Su Ran so much that he felt his blood boiling.

"Splash."

Under the fierce output of Su Ran’s pets, these twenty-odd Rock Monsters quickly turned into a pile of rubble, scattering all over the ground.

"It’s a pity these monsters don’t give much experience; otherwise, this place could have been a great leveling spot. Hm?"

Su Ran walked forward, not expecting much as he rummaged through the rubble, but to his surprise, he found a green bottle appearing before him.

Truth Holy Water!

To have a bottle of Truth Holy Water drop on the first go—this luck was simply unbeatable!

Setting aside whether it could identify the Dragon Soul Sand, at least there was no need to worry about being trapped. By this time, Su Ran’s tense heart finally relaxed completely.

"Swoosh!"

Before Su Ran even had the chance to catch his breath, another twenty Rock Monsters respawned. Thankfully, Su Ran’s pets were not too damaged, and after a slight adjustment, they re-entered the fight.

With not much time left for the Illusion Demon, Su Ran sent it straight to the front lines, intending to exploit all its potential. After all, it cost a whole furnace of high-grade materials, so returning the investment was a must!

This time, Su Ran unleashed formidable combat strength, activating Crowd Technique moves in succession. The Rock Monsters couldn’t withstand such frequent and intense output, and their annihilation was much faster than before.

"Hahaha, this is just perfect!"

Su Ran hastily cleaned up the battlefield, delighted to find that the Rock Monsters had contributed two more bottles of Truth Holy Water.

It didn’t take long for Su Ran to exceed the task’s requirements. He had thought it would take ten days or even half a month, but now, less than ten minutes had passed, and the quest was already complete!

If the Elf Queen were to see this scene, she would probably start questioning her life all over again.

While the Rock Monsters had not respawned yet, Su Ran took one of the bottles of Truth Holy Water in his hand and carefully observed its properties.

[Truth Holy Water](Special)

Can be used to identify equipment below the Dark Gold Rank, with a certain chance to break item seals, excluding special items.

Note: In a world of illusions, only truth endures.

"Damn, what a treasure!"

Su Ran exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that the Truth Holy Water would possess the property of identifying equipment!

"Haha, talk about a blessing in disguise!"

After seeing the powerful properties of the Truth Holy Water, Su Ran began to entertain the idea of grinding monsters here for a long time. Such identification items were extremely rare; even the most common identification charms were not something he had obtained much of throughout his gaming experience. Although there were specialized dungeons to farm identification charms, where did Su Ran have the time to grind just dungeons?

The Elf Queen had mentioned that the drop rate of Truth Holy Water was not high, and the fact that he had obtained so many was probably due to his high luck.

Since he had already built a sufficient base, Su Ran calmed his mind and focused on grinding the Rock Monsters in front of him, hoping to obtain more bottles of Truth Holy Water.

...

Unbeknownst to him, six hours passed.

Su Ran, leading his group of companion pets on a killing spree, accidentally discovered that the rubble left by the dead Rock Monsters had automatically formed columns of stone before him.

"No way, have I cleared out the last wave of Rock Monsters that quickly?"

Facing this situation, Su Ran couldn’t believe what he was saying to himself, having gotten used to the high frequency of grinding. Now with no monsters to kill, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Well then, time to log off and eat!"

By putting himself in the system’s shoes, Su Ran could appreciate the system’s well-intentioned design. After all, players need to go offline to tend to their physiological needs. If this pit kept on spawning monsters without a break, he wouldn’t be killed by the Rock Monsters—he’d die of holding it in!

This period of downtime was essentially players’ free time to manage offline, very considerate indeed.

After logging off, Su Ran quickly finished eating and sorting out his personal hygiene, not even having time to explain to his mom, before he hurried back into the game.

He had no idea how long he could stay in the Misty Formation, and he must make use of the time! Su Ran knew that such system exploits wouldn’t be available to him for too long...

After entering the game again, Su Ran summoned his horde of companion pets once more, fully restored his own state, and then continued to begin his second round of monster grinding.

...

Over the next three days, Su Ran was immersed in the pit, dedicating even his sleeping time to the game, other than eating and taking care of bodily functions. To his disappointment, he only obtained 190 bottles of Truth Holy Water, which just goes to show how low its drop rate was.

During this period, the Elf Queen visited once. When she saw the deep pit sealed by the trapping formation, she couldn’t help but sigh, a profound look of concern in her eyes. She understood that the longer Su Ran was dragged out in the trapped formation, the worse it would be for him. Being in such a perilous situation, he was at risk of death at any moment.

"Ah, this is the cost of not heeding advice!"

The Elf Queen murmured in a sigh, also surprised by the exceedingly low drop rate of the Elf Holy Water. After such a long time, the Skeleton Warriors didn’t even get a single bottle of holy water, which was simply inconceivable!
