Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown

This doesn’t count as data modification.

Lu Ran is just calling upon the relic dungeon’s data to check the specific path, ensuring no further wasted time.

If it’s not this path, and they take the wrong route, wasting time would be truly frustrating.

Lu Ran still doesn’t dare to easily modify the data.

“This is definitely the place. I’ve checked the relic dungeon’s data, and this is the endpoint beneath this dark river, where the BOSS is,” Lu Ran said.

Of course.

Apart from the BOSS, there are also some small monsters and elites, all are water monsters.

Although Lu Ran didn’t mention it.

Nanami had already guessed it.

Nanami said to Lu Ran, “There should be a lot of small monsters, right? Such relic dungeons aren’t favored by professionals. Underwater, there’s already a suffocation buff; the time underwater is limited, and visibility is poor. Plus, the agility of water monsters means few professionals are willing to tackle such a relic dungeon.”

Lu Ran nodded.

Though he hadn’t experienced such discomfort, Lu Ran had also ventured into the depths of the Forbidden Sea back then.

He knew how uncomfortable it was for normal professionals there.

“Let’s go, let’s go down,” Lu Ran nodded and said.

Then, he exchanged a glance with Nanami, and the two of them jumped down directly.

Just as Lu Ran anticipated, after entering the water, Lu Ran immediately cleared the suffocation buff for both of them. Although they were still breathing, they couldn’t inhale any water.

Other than the sensation of being in water and their bodies floating, everything else was no different from being on land.

This strange feeling made Nanami very curious and couldn’t help but look around.

Upon looking, Nanami’s scalp tingled!

Although she had guessed there were many small monsters beneath, she hadn’t expected so many!

The bottom of the dark river was very spacious, and the current was very swift, yet Lu Ran firmly held their bodies in place, preventing them from being swept away.

On the cliffs around the dark river.

They were densely packed with various small monsters, and their attack range or trigger range was extensive!

Very extensive!

When they just entered the water, almost all the small monsters simultaneously turned their gaze towards them, eyeing them covetously. Lu Ran felt for the first time what it meant to be eyed greedily!

It was a feeling of fear prickling the back!

“Even though I’m invincible, being stared at by so many small monsters really makes one’s scalp tingle,” Lu Ran muttered.

“Why aren’t they attacking? Did you control them?” Nanami curiously looked around and asked.

“No, I didn’t modify any mechanisms here because controlling these small monsters might affect the upcoming BOSS battle. I won’t do anything that foolish,” Lu Ran said.

Nanami breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, “That’s good, then let’s handle these small monsters the normal way.”

Lu Ran nodded.

He said, “According to the data, if we continue downwards, we’ll trigger all the small monsters here at once. It’s strange though; with such a large area and so many small monsters, wouldn’t a normal professional trigger them and meet their doom?”

Lu Ran couldn’t understand.

Even though he wasn’t afraid, thinking about it from another’s perspective.

If it were any other professional, this would be a dead-end!

Let alone a single professional soloing it.

Even a small team would likely be completely wiped out here.

Upon hearing this.

Nanami furrowed her brows too, saying, “It is indeed strange, if triggering all these small monsters in large numbers with the suffocation buff and underwater inflexibility means targeting these highly agile water monsters, this is indeed unusual, as if…”

“As if this relic dungeon wasn’t designed for anyone to pass, all professionals who trigger the small monsters here will die!” Lu Ran said solemnly, squinting slightly.

Nanami nodded.

But after exchanging a glance with Lu Ran, both of their eyes lit up.

Because, at this moment, both suddenly realized the other’s thoughts.

How could a normal relic dungeon be designed not to let any professional pass?

A dungeon of certain death doesn’t seem to exist in today’s data world!

Therefore.

Since this place is so strange, could it mean that this relic dungeon is different from other relic dungeons?

“It’s possible, it might have already been modified!” Lu Ran said, his scalp tingling.

Because there’s a real possibility of this.

If indeed someone modified this place.

It would largely be related to that mysterious character with a garbled name!

In today’s data world, Lu Ran is the highest authority, but there’s another existence that can modify data, which is frustrating in itself.

“It’s unlikely that the trapped guy modified it. If he really had the ability and authority to modify data, how could he be trapped?” Lu Ran muttered.

But in his heart, he still felt uneasy.

Because even if it wasn’t the guy with the garbled name modifying the data, there’s still another thing capable of modifying data.

Lu Ran isn’t even sure if the entity capable of modifying data is human!

In Lu Ran’s speculation.

If the guy with the garbled name is truly trapped, then something else modified the data to bind him.

This left Lu Ran feeling a bit helpless.

The guy with the garbled name hasn’t even been dealt with yet, nor found, and now another unknown creature has appeared.

“Damn it, what a hassle. Keep searching. If that guy is really here, then drag him out and figure out what is going on. If he’s not here, then I don’t care anymore; if he’s trapped, he’s trapped. I’m not interested in dealing with their crap,” Lu Ran grumbled.

Of course.

Though that’s what he said, he still felt quite vexed inside.

After all, curiosity is there.

After all, it’s a thorn in Lu Ran’s heart!

Nanami shrugged helplessly and said, “Let’s just continue, figure out what’s going on here first.”

That’s the only option.

Lu Ran took a deep breath, to prevent any other unexpected incidents.

After all, this relic dungeon might have been modified, and Lu Ran wasn’t sure if his authority could intervene.

So.

Holding Nanami’s hand, they both sank to the riverbed directly.

Just as Lu Ran said.

When they reached a certain point.

Suddenly!

All the small monsters were triggered almost simultaneously!

The dense crowd of small monsters seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

Like soldiers responding to a rally call, they swarmed towards Lu Ran!

This scene was pretty spectacular.

The swarm of small monsters formed a torrent at the riverbed, surging forward!

They came from all directions!

Lu Ran glanced around, and cursed, “Damn, if an ordinary professional came here, they’d surely meet their end!”

But at the same time.

Lu Ran suddenly felt that these small monsters… seemed familiar?
