After everyone was settled, Luo Fan squeezed through the gap that Liss had mentioned.

Inside the dark cave, there was not a single light. Sensing his surroundings, Luo Fan discovered that there was indeed a place where wind and dark elements were concentrated, and surprisingly, there were no magical beasts guarding the area.

Continuing forward, suddenly a sharp wind blade struck without making a sound.

"Could it be another of those magical beasts that are good at hiding?" Just then, Luo Fan threw out a scroll that emitted light, and the dark space instantly became bright.

Only then did Luo Fan notice the other party's figure: a gray-black snake, as thick as an arm, staring menacingly at them, flicking its tongue.

“A level 45 Wind Shadow Serpent!” Luo Fan recognized it immediately. He had studied the distribution of monsters in this area when he had nothing to do before. This kind of serpent was the most hated creature by adventurers, even more troublesome than the Shadow Crocodile.

They excel at stealth, attack silently, and are also highly poisonous, possessing both wind and darkness attributes.

The place where it lingered was a shallow beach, and that's where that special element came from.

The two sides faced off when several shadow cones suddenly flew out from the nearby shadows, heading straight for Luo Fan's location.

He created another clone, blocking the shadow's sudden attack. Luo Fan was still very sensitive to the nearby dark element fluctuations. He tried to sense the opponent's location again with his divine sense, but indeed, he couldn't detect it.

"Interesting, this ambush ability is damn strong!" He pulled out several crossbows and fired them in that direction.

The demonic serpent, which had been tentatively attacking, was enraged and charged forward. Several wind blades, surrounding it, lashed out at them.

"Ice spikes, ice walls, freeze!" Luo Fan threw out many scrolls at the same time, including those for lighting, which blocked the first wave of attacks, but he lost several crossbows.

Taking advantage of the shifting light, the clone jumped directly into the shallows, quickly drained the pool of water, and stored it in a new spatial ring.

The serpent also noticed the change and swung its tail fiercely at Luo Fan's clone nearby.

As it continued to shrink, Luo Fan seized the opportunity to stick to the demon snake, constantly spitting out mucus to slow it down.

The serpent struggled and was thrown against the fragile rock wall, which caused the crack to widen further and then collapse, causing Ellie and the others who were waiting nearby to fall in.

"Ellie, warn everyone about this venomous snake! It's poisonous!" Luo Fan quickly warned, continuing to try to break its scales, but to almost no avail.

On the contrary, the freezing effect slowed it down.

"It's the Wind Shadow Serpent, everyone be careful!" Cecilia warned, watching the serpent writhing in front of her, with several small slimes on its body.

The high-level martial artists nearby became more vigilant; this kind of demonic snake was not to be trifled with, especially since it was of a very high level.

"Lise, use Illumination. We'll use a light cone to hit its eyes later. Watch out for spells coming from the shadows!"

"Xiaoxue, release the ice wall to block its retreat and prevent it from spitting venom!"

“Ellie, restrain its movements and warn the others to be wary of the Shadow Cone in the shadows. This guy’s spells are silent.”

While trying to break through its defenses, Luo Fan directed everyone to work together.

The serpent struggled more and more fiercely, unleashing wind blades recklessly, making it impossible to defend against. Fortunately, there was an ice wall in front of it, which Xiaoxue and Daisy continued to reinforce.

However, the shadow cones emanating from the shadows were difficult to defend against, but fortunately, Ellie and Liz warned them.

Little Liz is now very focused, constantly paying attention to the changes in the elements in the cave, and reminding everyone to avoid the falling rocks from above.

Even a great mage wouldn't be confident of killing the Wind Shadow Serpent in the shadows. However, the cave is now brightly lit, and the serpent is confined to a limited area, greatly reducing its attack power.

"Watch out, it's about to vomit poison!"

Unable to get rid of the slime stuck to its body, the serpent grew increasingly anxious. It hated bright places and the disgusting creature on its body.

The venom was sprayed out, and even the ice wall was gradually being corroded.

When he saw the serpent preparing to roll around in its venom to kill the slime, Luo Fan jumped out.

He hadn't found a good opportunity to pierce the snake's rear end after its continuous rolling and whipping.

"Xiaoxue, freeze its body. The rest of you, attack its head, especially its mouth!"

Luo Fan pulled out a powerful crossbow from a nearby rock, along with poisoned arrows, and was ready.

"Daisy, keep working with Snow to use the ice wall to restrict movement!" Ellie shouted. "Everyone else, use ranged attacks!"

Bang!

A beam of light struck the serpent's eye, and Luo Fan even heard a cracking sound.

"Liz, well done! Keep attacking its other eye."

Immediately, the serpent's body froze, and its lashing against the ice wall slowed down. Luo Fan found the right angle, and the arrow shot into the serpent's mouth.

"Xue'er, well done. Let this snake taste its own venom!"

Ellie coordinated with the ghostly entanglement, while the others worked together to defend against sneak attacks from the shadows.

Sure enough, as the arrow pierced its mouth, the serpent's reaction gradually slowed down, and its other eye was also blown out by Liss.

Xiaoxue then stuffed an ice spike into its mouth and detonated it. Finally, after everyone's combined attacks, the level 45 serpent met its end.

Only then did Luo Fan dare to approach, and he even had Xiao Xue use water magic to cleanse him. Just a tiny bit of skin he had come into contact with had already shown signs of corrosion, and it was happening very quickly, which frightened him so much that he quickly shook off that part of the skin.

As for its blood, Luo Fan dared not absorb it; he simply put the corpse into the magic bag provided by Ellie.

With the battle won, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liz walked towards the dried-up shallows, carefully felt around, and even dug with her hands. After a while, she pulled out a gray stone, about the size of a walnut, with wind and dark elements flowing on it.

Luo Fan followed curiously, and the little girl handed him the stone directly.

"Brother Fan, this stone should be very useful to you."

"Oh, really? Thanks, Liz!" Luo Fan looked it over but couldn't recognize what it was. He didn't feel anything particularly noticeable while it was in his stomach.

"You're welcome!" Liz smiled, revealing shallow dimples. She had received several compliments on this trip, and her previous efforts had finally paid off.

At this point, clear water slowly began to flow from the previously dried-up shallows, and it only stopped when the shallows were filled up again.

"This is... Wind Spirit Liquid?" Looking at the pool water that had become clear again, Ellie walked over, her little mouth agape.

This thing is very valuable because it's rare on the market. For wind magicians, it's an important material for raising pets.

Others gathered around, and seeing the haul, they all burst out laughing.

This is a huge windfall!

"Luo Fan, should we continue exploring?" Ellie asked as she collected the spiritual liquid.

"Let's go back. There probably isn't anything better here," Luo Fan said, still sensing the changes in the stone.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. But after we go back this time, we won't be going into the dungeon anymore for a while."

"I know. I'll need to investigate Xue'er's advancement thoroughly and also find out where there are any light-attribute dungeons or monsters."

Guided by Luo Fan, the group slowly searched for a way out, killing many magical beasts along the way, before finally finding the entrance back to the fourth floor.

When the group reappeared at the dungeon entrance, the guild members finally breathed a sigh of relief.
