Got the forged weapon.

To be honest.

Lu Ran wasn't particularly satisfied.

Originally thought it would be absolutely explosive.

After all, the Elf Wings as a Sacred Artifact not only allow Lu Ran to have the ability to fly.

But also can summon the Natural Elf Race to aid in battle.

In comparison.

Although the Sea-stabilizing Trident has higher four-dimensional attributes and its base provides a 20% damage boost to all-series skills, which is quite impressive, it still doesn't meet Lu Ran's expectations.

And the skill range doubles.

For Lu Ran, of course, it's extremely exaggerated, enhancing the skill coverage range by hundreds of kilometers.

However, for a normal Professional, although it is also quite useful, it doesn't reach the capability of a Sacred Artifact in Lu Ran's understanding.

There's no way around it.

Lu Ran could only console himself.

There are differences between Sacred Artifacts.

Like the Elf Wings, as an original Sacred Artifact, its power is naturally formidable.

The Dwarf Furnace of the Dwarf Race, although not equipment, as a Sacred Artifact, it can also forge Sacred Artifacts, which is even more terrifying!

The Sacred Artifacts forged might not be able to surpass the original Sacred Artifacts.

Whether in the global equipment rankings or comprehensive attributes.

The Dwarf King originally intended to invite Lu Ran and others for a meal.

But to be honest, Lu Ran had wandered around Black Stone City for an entire afternoon and had seen quite a bit of the local food.

Just a glance at the Dwarf Race's food is indescribable!

But by then, the sky was already completely dark.

Although they wouldn't eat there, they couldn't refuse the Dwarf King's invitation, so they decided to spend the night there.

The next morning.

Lu Ran and the others hadn't woken up yet when they heard a commotion outside.

Curious, Lu Ran opened the door to look outside.

He saw the Dwarf Guards fully armed, hurrying back and forth, each with a panicked look.

Lu Ran was somewhat confused, wondering what had happened?

At that moment.

The Dwarf King arrived.

He looked anxious and said to Lu Ran and the others, "Honored guests, please leave Black Stone City quickly!"

Huh?

Lu Ran asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Weren't you planning to move back to the caves?"

The Dwarf King shook his head and said, "Racial migration is not an overnight affair, but now, a powerful enemy has invaded, staying in Black Stone City is very dangerous for you!"

A powerful enemy invasion?

Lu Ran was even more confused.

The Dwarf King seemed to read Lu Ran's confusion and looked up at the sky, saying, "The nemesis of the Dwarf Race, over the years, has caused countless deaths among our people."

Lu Ran suddenly realized.

The Dwarf Race's nemesis, Evil Spirit Griffins!

He quickly looked up.

Sure enough!

On what was supposed to be a clear morning, a large mass of black clouds could be seen approaching in the distance.

But those weren't clouds, they were a dense swarm of Evil Spirit Griffins!

"Isn't it said that Evil Spirit Griffins hunt the Dwarf Race cyclically? Don't you remember the timing?" Lu Ran asked in amazement.

Yesterday when talking about the Evil Spirit Griffins, the Dwarf King didn't mention they would come today!

The Dwarf King sighed and shook his head, "It's periodic, but the duration of the cycle isn't fixed, anywhere from a few days to a few months, and this time, it's only been seventeen days since the last Evil Spirit Griffin attack."

Lu Ran was speechless.

What kind of cycle is that?

Nearby, Ye Hongyi and others also stood by.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinxin asked with a weird expression, "These Evil Spirit Griffins, they are supposed to be Dark Series monsters, right?"

At these words.

The Dwarf King nodded and said, "They are griffins corrupted by evil spirits. Compared to same-level griffins, they're faster, have higher attack, greater life, and stronger defense, incredibly difficult to handle..."

As he spoke.

The Dwarf King suddenly paused and looked toward Lu Ran.

Upon learning of the Evil Spirit Griffin invasion, his immediate reaction was to ask Lu Ran and the others to leave.

But then he remembered Lu Ran's heroic performance yesterday.

Perhaps… Lu Ran has a way to help the Dwarf Race resist the Evil Spirit Griffins?

Of course.

The Dwarf King was also concerned about whether Lu Ran would lend a hand if there weren't any worthy rewards.

Lu Ran seemed to pick up on the Dwarf King's hesitation and said, "Please speak freely, if you need help, I won't refuse."

After all, according to Liu Xinxin, these Evil Spirit Griffins are Dark Series creatures, and Lu Ran can control them with ease!

All it takes is one look, and they'd all submit willingly.

The Dwarf King then gritted his teeth and said, "Your abilities are outstanding, and if you're willing to help, that would be wonderful, but the rewards…"

At this point, Lu Ran had a rough idea that there wouldn't be much of a reward.

However, right after.

The Dwarf King added, "Against the Evil Spirit Griffin invasion, I issued a regional public task, but the rewards are few, based only on hunting the Evil Spirit Griffins. You Professionals can earn triple experience for killing one Evil Spirit Griffin, and that's it, if you think the reward is too small, it's fine not to help, just leave..."

"That's more than enough!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

Triple experience!

All he needed was experience!

Combat strength, Lu Ran didn't lack.

With equipment, Lu Ran was equipped with two pieces of Sacred Artifacts, paired with Hades' Crystal Skull, invincible!

What he lacked now was experience, experience to level up!

Of course.

If there were equipment of Sacred Artifact level, Lu Ran would want it too.

"These Evil Spirit Griffins, what level are they?" Lu Ran asked.

"They range from level 70 to level 80," the Dwarf King replied.

"Aren't you a level 100 Dwarf King?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"I can instantly kill the Evil Spirit Griffins, but the Dwarf Race has no air combat capabilities and cannot rise to battle in the air. Although all Dwarves can wield firearms alongside their close combat weapons…"

But here's the problem, over the years, the Dwarf Race couldn't forge equipment.

The remaining firearms are insufficient, low-grade, and lack the necessary attack power.

Also, the Evil Spirit Griffins are fast, possess high attack, making the Dwarf Race's resistance seem feeble.

Even though the Eternal Fire has returned to the Dwarf Furnace, the Dwarf Race hasn't had time to forge equipment to combat this wave!

"I see..." Lu Ran nodded.

Watching as the Evil Spirit Griffin swarm got closer and closer.

Lu Ran spoke, "No rush, I'll help. You all hide if you can, and if you can't, don't worry, I'll handle it."

"You're alone? But isn't your Undead Army also unable to fly?" the Dwarf King asked worriedly.

"The Undead Army can't fly, but I can!" Lu Ran chuckled.

In the next second.

Pang!

The Elf Wings suddenly unfolded.

The enormous wings spread behind Lu Ran, emanating the unique sacred aura of the Elf Race.

At this moment.

Whether it was the Dwarf Guards inside the Giant Stone Castle or other Dwarves within the city.

They were all looking at the sky in terror.

Watching as the Evil Spirit Griffin swarm drew closer, the deeply-buried fear in each Dwarf's heart surfaced.

And just at that moment.

As the Evil Spirit Griffin swarm's distance shortened.

Suddenly, a figure soared into the sky from the Giant Stone Castle, straight into the clouds!
