Chapter 382: Ning Yiyi Is Obedient And Well-Behaved
A gentle breeze swept across the grassland, bending the blades of grass and creating a soft rustling sound.
Ning Yiyi closed her eyes, her delicate face filled with contentment as she basked in the light touch of the wind.
"Mmm, it's been so long since I've felt this relaxed." She murmured.
Stretching out her arms, she seemed to embrace the wind itself.
When she was with Lin Moyu, Ning Yiyi felt entirely at ease—both in body and spirit. This rare and precious feeling made her cherish these moments even more.
She adored Lin Moyu: the quiet strength he exuded, the faint, comforting scent that lingered around him, and the way she could nestle against him like a sleepy kitten.
Lin Moyu said softly, "Let’s begin."
Ning Yiyi hummed in agreement, "Alright. I can relax again."
As she spoke, she retrieved a snack and took a hearty bite, savoring the treat.
Suddenly, an eerie wind rose, howling across the grassland. From nowhere, 22 undead legions appeared, their formation precise and menacing. They surged in every direction like a pack of wolves.Ning Yiyi's eyes widened in shock, her snack momentarily forgotten, "How... how are there so many?"
In their previous dungeon raids, Lin Moyu had summoned only a few hundred skeletons. But this—this was on an entirely different scale.
Lin Moyu glanced at her and explained, "I mastered a new skill when I reached level 30, which increased their numbers significantly."
The skeletons' numbers skyrocketed twice. The first time was at level 30 when he unlocked the Summon Lich General skill, which allowed him to form undead legions. The second time was at level 40, when the capacity of his summon space increased from 400 to 600. Now, the total number of skeletons in the 22 undead legions had reached 14,520.
Ning Yiyi quickly processed the fact and broke into a bright smile, "That’s incredible! With so many skeletons, I don’t even have to lift a finger. I can just relax and enjoy my snacks!"
As the undead troops spread out, the layout of the dungeon began to form in Lin Moyu's mind.
The Beast God Plateau stretched endlessly before them—a vast, open expanse teeming with beast-type monsters.
[Killed level 46 Plateau Wolf, EXP + 920,000]
[Obtained high-grade wolf fur x3]
[Killed level 45 Plateau Antelope, EXP + 900,000]
[Obtained high-grade wool x2]
Kill notifications flooded in rapid succession. The monsters on the plateau were clustered in groups—ranging from a dozen to as many as thirty or forty.
The undead army swiftly dealt with them. Despite being enhanced elite monsters from a large-scale dungeon, the level 40 or so monsters were no match for Lin Moyu's overwhelming forces. They were nothing more than fodder.
Lin Moyu noted one distinct pattern: there were no solitary monsters.
This dungeon was designed for a 50-person party. If a monster were by itself, it would undoubtedly be a leader or the boss.
The undead army’s advance was relentless. In just 20 minutes, they had swept the plateau clean of enemies. Lin Moyu hadn’t even taken a step.
"This is so much faster than level grinding on my own." Ning Yiyi said cheerfully, "It’s so much more comfortable tagging along with you."
Her thoughts drifted to her solo leveling days, a grueling and lonely grind. The difference between then and now was night and day.
With the plateau cleared, they soon found the path to the next stage.
"I’ve found the way forward. Let’s go!" Lin Moyu announced.
As he spoke, he wrapped his arms securely around Ning Yiyi. She let out a soft hum of approval, instinctively snuggling into his warm embrace.
Moments later, she felt the ground disappear beneath her. The scenery blurred and rushed past them as if they were flying.
It wasn’t an illusion—they really were flying.
Ning Yiyi tilted her head upward and saw the Lightning Wings on Lin Moyu’s back, a streak of brilliant light trailing behind him.
The cold wind nipped at her face, causing her to shiver. She quickly buried her head against Lin Moyu’s chest.
The outside was too cold. Lin Moyu’s embrace was much warmer and more comfortable.
The flight lasted only a dozen seconds before Lin Moyu came to a stop.
Before them stood a massive bridge connecting their plateau to the next. Beneath the bridge yawned a canyon, hundreds of meters deep.
A group of monsters stood on the bridge, blocking their path. Among them was a particularly massive figure that towered over the rest.
“That one must be the leader monster.” Lin Moyu remarked.
The canyon stretching out between the two plateaus was teeming with monsters. The density of monsters here far exceeded that of the plateau, with their numbers reaching several thousand.
"As expected of a large-scale dungeon, the sheer number of monsters is astonishing."
Lin Moyu was faced with three options—cross the bridge to the second plateau, dive into the canyon to clear the monsters for a massive EXP jump, or bypass the monsters entirely by flying.
This wasn’t a speedrun. His goal was to level grind. Naturally, he chose the most rewarding path: a combination of options one and two.
With a command, the scattered undead troops were recalled, and then released again.
The undead army was split in two. Half of the skeletons leaped into the canyon, while the other half charged onto the bridge.
Efficiency was key, and Lin Moyu wasted no time. Holding Ning Yiyi securely in his arms, he spread his Lightning Wings and flew into the canyon.
The canyon swarmed with monsters—beasts, serpents, and insects alike.
The arrival of the skeletons drew the monsters' attention instantly. They surged toward the undead army, thinking they had found their prey. But they were gravely mistaken—what they faced wasn’t prey, but death incarnate.
Boom!
A booming noise echoed through the canyon. After eliminating several monsters, the long-dormant Corpse Explosion skill was activated once again. In an instant, countless monsters were obliterated, and EXP surged in like a tidal wave.
There was no need for curses—Corpse Explosion alone was enough to annihilate every monster within the blast radius.
The blasts were so powerful that the canyon itself seemed to tremble. Rocks rained down from the walls, crashing onto the canyon floor with resounding thuds.
Lin Moyu glided through the canyon using Lightning Wings, unleashing Corpse Explosion with along the way.
The canyon, which connected two plateaus, only spanned five kilometers, clustered with over a thousand monsters. For most parties, this area would be a death trap, a gauntlet of endless waves of enemies. Clearing it would be an exhausting and nearly impossible task.
But for Lin Moyu, this was the perfect place to use Corpse Explosion.
Twenty seconds later, it was over.
With Ning Yiyi still nestled in his arms, Lin Moyu soared out of the canyon and landed gracefully at the far end of the bridge.
Just as they touched down, the Lightning Wings dissolved, their duration expiring at the perfect moment.
Ning Yiyi’s face was flushed, her cheeks tinged with a bright pink. Her excitement was unmistakable, the exhilaration of flying and the thrill of the battle still coursing through her.
“That was amazing! So much fun!” She said with sparkling eyes.
Lin Moyu gently patted Ning Yiyi’s head, “In a moment, I’ll take you for another round.”
Meanwhile, the battle on the bridge was reaching its conclusion.
The skeletons had surrounded a tiger-like monster.
[Plateau Tiger (enhanced elite leader)]
[Level: 47]
[Strength: 60,000]
[Agility: 30,000]
[Spirit: 10,000]
[Physique: 80,000]
[Skills: Roar, Tiger Claw Strike]
[Trait: Enhanced Health]
With a total attribute score of 180,000, the Plateau Tiger surpassed hell rank leaders of the same level but remained weaker than bosses.
But compared to Lin Moyu’s skeletons, it was pitifully weak.
If the skeletons attacked with their full might, they could annihilate a creature like this in less than 30 seconds.
Now, under their relentless siege, the Plateau Tiger was on its last legs.
Lin Moyu pointed with a finger and unleashed Deterioration Curse, overwhelming the already beleaguered monster.
[Killed a Plateau Tiger, EXP +1,410,000]
[Obtained Tiger Sword]
[Tiger Sword: platinum rank weapon, all attributes +1,200, increases the damage of Swordsman-type skills by 60%.]
Lin Moyu glanced at the subpar platinum rank weapon briefly. Without a second thought, he tossed it into his storage space.
With the bridge cleared, the undead army surged forward, entering the second plateau without hesitation.
Ning Yiyi glanced at Lin Moyu, her voice light, “The Beast God Plateau dungeon has a total of four plateaus, each crawling with monsters. Between each plateau, there’s always a leader rank monster standing guard. And as you progress, the monsters on the plateaus get stronger. The last plateau, in particular, is packed with leader rank monsters. Most parties avoid unnecessary fights whenever they can, rushing straight to the last plateau. After all, the majority of the dungeon's rewards are found on the last plateau.”
Lin Moyu nodded slightly, understanding her point. In larger parties, the spoils of battle—particularly EXP—were divided among dozens of members. After splitting the rewards, there was hardly anything left for each individual.
Under those conditions, it made sense to avoid excessive battles.
But Lin Moyu’s situation was entirely different.
But for him and Ning Yiyi, there were only two people sharing the spoils, and every monster slain yielded a significant amount of EXP.
Moreover, Lin Moyu's monster-slaying speed was far greater to that of ordinary parties. The 22 undead legions, acting as relentless killing machines, brought in an enormous amount of EXP.
Lin Moyu smirked faintly and reached out to pinch Ning Yiyi’s nose playfully, “We’re here to level grind. Rewards are secondary—EXP is what matters most. If you want a speedrun, after we finish this raid, and I’ve mapped out the dungeon properly, I’ll take you on one.”
Ning Yiyi’s laughter rang out like a bell. She wasn’t trying to change his mind—she had simply wanted to share what she knew. Whatever decision Lin Moyu made, she was happy to follow.
This little kitten named Ning Yiyi was truly obedient and well-behaved.
