Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Moreover, what is particularly important about the two women is that they preserved their wisdom, compared to other collections.

With that in mind, Huo also invested all his surplus collection into Etris.

Even so, Etris's progress bar only reached 20%, which was even greater than the previous Red Dragon's consumption.

It seems we really need to find some new dungeons.

After finishing the Elemental Giant dungeon, Huo entered the online platform to see if there were any suitable dungeons, preferably those with many monsters and daily refreshes.

Both women went with Huo Huan to the Zongwang platform this time. Huo Huan didn't think much of it. With the rules in place and neither of them having Zongwang coins, Huo Huan wasn't worried about them causing trouble.

As for why Huo hasn't given them Zongwang coins yet, it's not because Huo is stingy, but because only Zongwang players can hold Zongwang coins; other non-Zongwang players cannot access them.

Upon re-entering the online platform, the surroundings were still bustling with activity, as if this scene would never change.

To save time, Huo and the other two will search separately this time. After all, the two are his summoned creatures, so Huo is not afraid of not being able to find them.

After separating from the two, Huo began to examine the items on the stalls one by one. He would quickly glance at the items without dungeon invitations and take a closer look at the ones with dungeon invitations.

Huo also discovered that there seemed to be far fewer dungeon invitations for levels 10 and above. Huo looked at dozens of stalls and only found one dungeon invitation with a level cap of 11. However, that invitation was from a cheat test and was not suitable for Huo.

After searching for a long time without finding a suitable invitation, Huo was considering whether to contact professional merchants for help when a commotion suddenly came from Etricia's side.

Huo Huan's heart stirred, and following his senses, he quickly walked towards where Yi Cuisi was.

"Brother, do you think this dungeon invitation is suitable?" Yi Cuisi waved to Huo Huan from afar, and when Huo Huan got closer, she pointed to a dungeon invitation on the stall and asked.

Huo Huan looked in the direction Yi Cuisi pointed, and a light green invitation appeared in Huo Huan's field of vision.

Chapter 136 Speedrun

It looked alright. Huo glanced at the price; it wasn't expensive. He bought it without hesitation.

After purchasing the dungeon invitation, Huo didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took the two women to buy some snacks and stroll around, looking for any other suitable dungeon invitations.

However, even after leaving, Huo still hadn't found a copy worth buying.

Back home, Huo couldn't wait to take out the newly bought dungeon invitation from his spatial backpack.

After unlocking "Aberrant Frenzy" in the dungeon section, Huo crushed the dungeon invitation in one swift motion.

A new instance appeared, and Huo selected it directly, stepping through the portal to enter the instance.

Upon entering the instance, what Huo Huan saw was a green field shrouded in a gray sky.

The wild grass on the ground was not docile pasture grass, but grew to waist height. Under the lash of the strong wind, it all fell to one side, making a continuous howling sound like ocean waves.

Huo was still a little confused. He entered the dungeon but found no trace of monsters, only the howling wind.

Huo didn't bring the two women with him this time, because it was just a simple instance, and Huo wanted to finish it quickly.

However, the monsters in this instance were hiding, and even though Huo still possessed extraordinary perception, he couldn't detect any trace of them.

Moreover, this time it's different from the elemental dungeons. At least the elemental dungeons have obvious 'hints', while this dungeon only has vast grasslands and a gloomy sky.

Just as Huo Huan was about to fly into the sky to try and find the monster, a gray-black wolf suddenly darted out from behind him, its sharp claws wrapped around the dark shadow, slashing several cuts on Huo Huan's body.

The sharp fangs were not idle either, biting down hard on Huo Huan's left arm with a heavy darkness.

It's a wolf, but where did this guy come from?

Huo was still a little confused, but that didn't stop him from retaliating.

However, in the next instant, another gray-black wolf darted out from the shadows, launching the same attack, but this time it bit Huo Huan's right arm.

Then came the third, the fourth, and finally the fifth wolf, its jaws snapping at Huo Huan's vulnerable neck.

"They're all out? That makes things easier," Huo sneered.

The next second, bone spurs sprouted from Huo's body, piercing through all the black wolves around him.

His body erupted with tremendous power, spinning around with the five black wolves.

The Dance of the Early Ferns!

Compared to his appearance in the anime, Huo's bone spurs were much larger and were accompanied by dark red hellfire.

However, Huo's attack did not seem to cause much damage to these black wolves.

The flames on the gray wolf were covered by shadows, and the piercing wounds on its body completely disappeared in the shadows.

Huo frowned and began to take things seriously.

Just as Huo was about to launch an attack, the black wolf not far away disappeared again.

This time, however, the extraordinary senses detected it.

Since he could sense it, things became easier. Huo exerted force with both legs, his body enveloped in blood mist, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of a black wolf.

Although it's unclear how Huo discovered his stealth, since he did, there's no need to hide anymore.

The black wolf that was discovered did not run away, but chose to confront him head-on. However, the other four black wolves were not idle either. Taking advantage of Huo Huan's attack, they jumped out from the shadows and launched an attack on Huo Huan.

The fist struck the black wolf with a dull thud.

Compared to the usual tactile sensations, the feedback from this attack was exceptionally strange.

It wasn't like the satisfying feeling of punches hitting flesh; rather, it was soft and fluffy, like cotton wool.

However, Huo Huan's strength was great enough that even with the black wolf's special structure, it could not withstand Huo Huan's full-force attack. Its body was broken, and the wounds were covered with traces of elemental corrosion.

One black wolf was killed with a single blow, and the remaining black wolves attacked, their claws and teeth casting dark shadows, leaving Huo with numerous wounds.

However, Huo was naturally unconcerned about these minor injuries. He reached out and grabbed a black wolf that couldn't retreat in time, his arm muscles bulging as he ripped it apart fiercely.

"Awooo!" With a tearing sound, amidst the black wolf's pitiful howl, Huo used his strength to rip the black wolf in half.

Without flesh or internal organs, the black wolf, now a corpse, emitted a faint black aura, completely unlike any normal creature.

The remaining three black wolves seemed to realize that their invisibility was gone, so they stopped hiding and pounced on Huo Huan together.

One, two, three, and soon, the remaining three black wolves all fell to the ground.

At the same time, the notification sound from the comprehensive network also arrived late.

[Dungeon clear conditions met, rewards being calculated]

The rewards you received from this dungeon run are: 400 General Coins and 800 Universal Experience.

Summoning the Book of Collections, Huo also collected the corpses of the five black wolves.

Although Black Wolf's stealth and teamwork caused him a little trouble at the beginning, the dungeon was still easy overall. Of course, it's also possible that Huo Huan was too strong, and ordinary dungeons were no longer challenging at all.

With this in mind, Huo opened the Book of Collections, preparing to see what kind of traits the black wolf he had taken in this time would bring him.

Race Name: Shadow Wolf

Description: Residents of the Shadow Plane, they can pass through walls, become invisible, and use the power of shadows to hunt. Most importantly, Shadow Wolves prefer to hunt in packs.

Traits: Shadow Entanglement, Shadow Stealth, Wall-Passing Assault

Shadow Entanglement: The Shadow Wolf is a representative of the Shadow Dimension, its body filled with shadow energy. When equipped, each attack by the player may trigger Shadow Entanglement to bind the enemy. The enemy needs to make a Power check, and if they fail, they cannot move.

Shadow Stealth: As inhabitants of the Shadow Plane, stealth is the Shadow Wolf's forte. They can even become invisible in direct sunlight. After equipping this ability, players gain the ability to stealth and automatically enter stealth mode when stationary, making them undetectable to those with low perception.

Wall-Penetrating Assault: Shadow Wolves are not flesh and blood creatures, and ordinary creations of the material world have no effect on them. After equipping this skill, players gain the ability to pass through walls about 3 meters thick to launch attacks, 3 times per day.

Overall it's alright, but its effect isn't that great. However, Huo still has quite a few empty slots in his inventory, so he directly put the newly acquired trait into his inventory.

After completing the dungeon, Huo immediately exited it.

This instance can only be accessed once a day, so other difficulties will be available tomorrow.

As for the chat channel in this instance, Huo Huan did not join it. It's just a small instance with a difficulty level of 3, and Huo Huan doesn't plan to keep it for long, so there's no need to add a chat channel.

After leaving the dungeon, Huo Huan immediately entered the elemental dungeon. After completing two dungeon runs, Huo Huan turned his attention back to the real battlefield.

After resting for most of the day, it's time to go to the real battlefield and look for some opportunities.

Chapter 137 The Secret Chamber

Upon re-entering the real battlefield, Huo Huan's figure appeared inside the fortress.

Looking at the players and ordinary soldiers around him, Huo realized that he would reappear in the original fortress every time he re-entered.

This way, you don't have to worry about getting lost, but if you encounter an unexpected event, it might be difficult to find that location again once you leave.

Looking at the bustling scene around him, Huo didn't linger. He had already made the necessary preparations before entering the real battlefield.

With his hands empty, Huo led the two women directly toward the passage connecting to the Dark Underworld.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery grew darker, but this darkness didn't last long. Soon, tiny specks of fluorescent light appeared in their field of vision.

It's fluorescent moss and fluorescent mushrooms, these tenacious life forms that spread throughout the dark region, bringing a few drops of light to this dim underground world.

Huo also retrieved the fungal communicator and began linking with the surrounding fungi.

With the injection of energy from Huo Huan, it quickly connected with the surrounding fungi, and all sorts of complex information flooded into Huo Huan's brain.

Although there was a lot of information, Huo could only use a small portion of it.

Most of the information consists of players entering and leaving the Underdark, with only a small portion being information about monsters. However, most of the monsters that linger at the entrance are killed by the passing players.

Finding nothing of value, Huo continued deeper into the area. Soon, the surroundings became even more desolate, as if even the presence of any living creature had quietly vanished.

Huo hadn't yet noticed the changes in his surroundings, but instead noticed an unknown road.

The reason it is unknown is that this path is not within the range of fungal detection, meaning that even the most resilient fungi do not exist on this path.

This discovery intrigued Huo, because for a place where even fungi struggle to survive, it must be either an extreme environment or contain something special.

In either case, Huo had no reason not to go and take a look.

After instructing the two women to be careful of their surroundings, Huo took the lead and walked into the silent passage.

As Huo Huan ventured deeper, the surrounding temperature seemed to gradually decrease. Although Huo Huan was not afraid of the low temperature, he was not oblivious to the temperature change.
