Chapter 88 Alternative Uses
The number of quests in the City of Circles is also much greater than in Raine Town.

The commissions in Raine Town are mostly limited to a small area outside the town, while the commissions in the City in the Circle cover a much larger area.

The Nest of Golden Red Ants

[Ant Den]

[Ants Swarming into the Nest]

……

Lu Cang accepted five ant nest quests in total, and then, on the recommendation of the receptionist, he also accepted two other dungeon quests that were on his way.

I guess it's because they're part of a legendary adventurer group.

After accepting the commission, I was even invited to a private room where a young lady in a low-cut dress and black stockings introduced me to the characteristics of each dungeon.

Ok……

This adventurer rank is indeed very useful.

The service was incredibly attentive.

After accepting the commission, I followed Chi Cheng and arrived at the Bridge of Heaven.

The city within a circle is too large.

Mounts are also prohibited within the city.

This transparent bridge, spanning the sky and crisscrossing in all directions, is another major feature of the City in a Circle.

【accelerate】

[Speed]

[Sprint]

Endurance Recovery

The bridge is imbued with magical blessings; it is said to be the collaborative work of a level 5 architect and a level 5 mage.

Throughout the city within the circle, there are bridge access points, with bridges crisscrossing in all directions and providing convenient access in all directions.

Walking on it, every step you take is like taking a hundred steps.

It's similar to a bus stop, except that it speeds up the walking pace.

That makes sense, since riding mounts is prohibited.

Ordinary people don't have a vehicle, and they have to live in such a big city. If they live in a central area, without this bridge, it would take them several days just to walk from inside the city to the outside.

……

It took about an hour to get from the City in the Circle to the Thousand Caves in the Distant Domain.

It's flying faster now than before.

Although the ice shuttle is still the main means of flight, Lu Cang has also acquired many other spells that can increase speed.

On the way there, we also saw many adventurers riding horses, chocobos, and ground lizards.

The Thousand Caves of the Distant Realm is a popular adventure area near the City in the Circle.

The monster tides are abundant year-round, and underground labyrinths emerge one after another.

An abundance of monsters is obviously not a good thing, but for this very reason, it has sustained many adventurers.

Landed in the remote thousand caves.

Lu Cang took out a pointer, which was provided by the Adventurers' Guild, and pointed it in the direction of the dungeon.

Otherwise, it's easy to get lost in such a big place.

The hole in front of us is the nest of the Golden Red Ants.

A level 3 dungeon.

Lu Cang stepped inside, and Chi Cheng, with his head in his hands, casually followed him in.

A network of interconnected caves.

There were tiny ants scattered all over the surrounding walls.

These ants were only about the size of a thumb, but they were first-tier monsters—red ants.

"Sea of ​​Fire"

boom!
Before the ants could even launch an attack on Lu Cang...

In an instant, a sea of ​​fire spread out!
A raging inferno quickly engulfed the entire floor and walls, while waves of flame rose up!

The flames surged out like a wall!
Everything in front of them was burned.

"Soul +125"

"Soul +152"

"Soul +111"

"Soul +164"

"Soul +138"

……

Lu Cang could feel thousands of tiny souls burrowing into his body and being stored away by the Death Priest's specialty, "Dead Soul Storage."

The two continued walking forward like this.

Lu Cang kept six types of barrier magic active at all times to protect his safety.

As for the ants burning on the ground...

Ant-like monsters.

They are often the monsters that adventurers dislike the most.

Because of their small size, they are generally difficult to deal with by classes like warriors, archers, and assassins.

More importantly, ant-like monsters are almost universally considered worthless; they rarely drop anything of value, and killing them doesn't yield much profit.

Chi Cheng picked up a relatively large ant from the ground.

Rubbed it.

As the ant's injuries gradually healed, Chi Cheng removed the ant's legs and stored them in his spatial storage.

He was still a level 3 gatherer, so he helped the little guy gather some resources.

There's a corner ahead.

Before Lu Cang even reached the corner, he raised his hand—

Light, darkness, ice, water, fire, lightning, wood, wind, earth, magic, and arcane magic all erupted at once!

boom!
A dazzling display of fireworks burst forth ahead!

The entire cave entrance trembled.

When I turned the corner, all I saw in front of me were dead ants scattered all over the ground.

There were also two enormous ants with forelegs like knives, their bodies already mangled and broken.

Child……

Does arranging a queue really need to be such a big show?
That's a bit too cautious.

The paws of these two [Knife Ants] are rotten.

Chi Cheng sighed inwardly.

After taking down these two elites, the boss-level BOSS is just ahead.

An ordinary level 3 adventurer team will inevitably face a tough battle when encountering a level 3 lord.

Lu Cang, on the other hand, had it much simpler.

The moment they met, spikes of ice, earth, and wood shot out from all directions, instantly piercing the [Crimson Black Ant King] to pieces.

Chi Cheng clapped his hands from behind: "Awesome!"

Then he went to touch the corpse.

"Brother Chicheng, how do you feel about the harvest?"

Lu Cang walked over and asked.

"The harvest... is about 5 gold coins."

That's really rare.

It's nothing compared to Harvest Month, where even wild lords can get at least ten gold coins.

Clearing a Tier 3 dungeon requires at least 20 gold coins.

It only took less than 5 minutes from going in to coming out.

I did gain over 5 in the soul realm.

Indeed, ant-like monsters were the best choice.

If the remaining dungeons are all of this quality, this run will yield 25 souls.

However, it still doesn't feel like enough.

"What do you mean? Go to that underground city over there?"

Chi Cheng pointed to a cave on the other side.

"We didn't accept any quests for that dungeon, did we?"

"Anyway, the commission isn't worth much money, so I might as well not take it."

The entrance to this dungeon was surrounded by a pale blue light, suggesting it was a level 3 dungeon.

The absence of an Adventurers' Guild sign next to the dungeon indicates that it has not yet been posted as a quest.

After thinking about it, I realized that what Akari said made sense.

In Raine Town, the dungeons are scattered and hard to find; you have to accept a quest to know their exact location.

And here...

Along the way, I've seen seven or eight dungeons. Even without taking on any quests, spending a day grinding here can yield a considerable reward.

However, looking at this underground city...

Lu Cang pondered for a while.

"Brother Chicheng, is there anyone around us?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that?"

"I have something I want to test."

Chi Cheng looked around.

Most people who come to Yaoyu Thousand Caves are there for the dungeons. They find their own dungeon, discuss their tactics, and then go inside.

Actually, there aren't many people outside.

Chi Cheng scanned the area with his senses.

Although he was a warrior and his spirit was not as strong as that of a mage, the perception of a level 6 warrior was still terrifying enough.

“There are five people within a kilometer around us, but none of them can see us.”

The Yaoyu Caves are a complex network of caves of all sizes, with the terrain being extremely intricate.

"it is good."

Lu Cang raised his hand and pointed it towards the underground city.

"Sacrifice - 1000 souls"
