Monster Dungeons were already scarce within Yun Chuan Province, and none were distributed within Chuanbei Spirit Tamer Academy.
If Spirit Tamers within the province wanted to farm Inscriptions, almost all needed to go to the central provincial city, Chongyang City.
To facilitate students, all major Spirit Tamer Academies had built high-speed trains directly to Chongyang City within their campuses.
After a ride of just over thirty minutes, Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan arrived at the Monster Dungeon area of Chongyang City.
Just stepping out of the station platform, a wave of noisy heat assaulted them!
As the largest Monster Dungeon hub in the province, this place had formed a complete ecosystem.
The team formation hall was bustling with voices!
The Inscription Exchange was crowded with people.
The Contracted Spirit battle arenas echoed with explosive shouts!
Looking around, it was filled with teachers, students wearing academy badges, and wandering freelance Spirit Tamers.
After all, all Inscription demanders from the entire province gathered here!
Xia Yuan looked around at the surroundings with curious eyes and couldn't help but joke:
"So diligent this early in the morning, you all are truly hardcore warriors."
After leaving the academy, there were finally not so many staring eyes.
Both of them felt much more relaxed and headed straight for the Monster Dungeon teleportation gates.
The level of Monster Dungeons was similar to Monster Instances.
Each star-rated dungeon corresponded to dropping Inscriptions of the same star rating.
And the Abyss Inscription dungeons would drop the rarest, highest power bonus colorful Inscriptions!
"One BOSS, plus a few guard monsters."
"Four-star dungeons have monsters from level 60 to 80. With your current power, soloing shouldn't be difficult."
Mo Shiyu comprehensively considered the situation and habitually sought Xia Yuan's opinion.
She really wasn't timid anymore.
Directly choosing the quite difficult four-star instance!
Mainly because Xia Yuan's strength was too powerful, she had complete confidence!
Xia Yuan rubbed his chin pondering, "Since we're here, we should get Little Black a good set of Inscriptions. How about trying a five-star dungeon..."
He was now level 38, his strength nearly half restored.
Little Black, perched on Mo Shiyu's shoulder, hearing this, was overjoyed, excitedly rubbing its hands like a fly, flattering:
Mo Shiyu thought she was already quite brave, but Xia Yuan was even more outrageous than her, "Five-star?! The monsters inside are all above level 80, the BOSS is even level 100, too difficult!"
Xia Yuan asked:
"Is the level 100 BOSS in the dungeon as strong as that Abyss instance BOSS from last time?"
Mo Shiyu: "Not that much, the dungeons are the most stable, the BOSS naturally can't be stronger than the rampaging Abyss instances outside, but it's still level 100!"
She took a deep breath, deciding to exert her authority as a master, "How about this: let's try the four-star instance first. If you find it easy to clear, then we can consider the five-star dungeon, okay?"
Xia Yuan thought this was acceptable and nodded.
After all, he also needed to gauge the strength of the monsters in the dungeon.
If he used up all his spiritual power to forcibly clear a five-star instance, he still couldn't get Little Black a complete set of Inscriptions.
She took out her phone, scanned the QR code at the dungeon location.
An official Chongyang City Monster Dungeon WeChat public account popped up.
After Mo Shiyu registered an account, she clicked on the four-star dungeon and checked.
Found that queuing had already started.
Their reservation order was already number 19 in line.
Because the four-star dungeon difficulty was high, the number of people queuing wasn't too many.
For dungeons below four-star, any one of them, the number of people queuing often exceeded a hundred.
Mo Shiyu lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, slightly frowning, "The four-star dungeon queue has reached team 19, estimated wait time about 1 hour."
Mo Shiyu pursed her red lips tightly, "Cutting in line definitely isn't allowed, unless you have a T3-level Spirit Tamer certificate. But we can team up with others. The team currently in second place still needs members."
Mo Shiyu explained:
"For dungeon teams, aside from getting less experience, the Inscription rewards each Spirit Tamer receives won't be less."
"Moreover, we can exchange the Inscription types we want with each other, so generally teaming up is the way to go."
Xia Yuan: "That's not bad, barely acceptable."
Seeing he agreed, Mo Shiyu started communicating with the team ranked 2nd on her phone.
The other party didn't mention team entry requirements for now, but sent a location pin, asking her to bring her Contracted Spirit to the destination to gather and talk face-to-face.
They were very close.
After walking just a few steps, they saw several people waiting in front of a pavilion.
Only two Spirit Tamers.
One male, one female.
Both seemed to be students, wearing academy student uniforms.
But clearly not from Chuanbei Spirit Tamer Academy.
Standing beside them was a level 75 B-rank Contracted Spirit, with an extremely peculiar appearance—an upright standing male lion!
Seeing Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan approach.
The male student's eyes lit up slightly, immediately landing on Mo Shiyu.
He probably didn't expect to team up with such a beauty!
The other clear-faced female student showed no particular expression when she saw Mo Shiyu, but when she saw Xia Yuan beside Mo Shiyu, her eyes clearly showed some strangeness.
But the level 38 mark above Xia Yuan's head was quite glaring, instantly making them feel somewhat regretful.
The male student helplessly held his forehead, smiling wryly and said:
"To tackle a four-star instance, Contracted Spirits need to be at least level 60..."
The lion Contracted Spirit glanced at Xia Yuan, pressed down its cowboy hat, shook its head, spoke in a deep voice, speaking in human language:
Xia Yuan had been staring at the lion Contracted Spirit, and when it spoke, he suddenly couldn't hold back, "Pfft" bursting into laughter, "Haha, a lion western cowboy? This Contracted Spirit's appearance is too strange, hahaha..."
"Bastard!"
"This is called retro wild aesthetics, definitely better than your chuuni eyepatch!"
After all, a lion, standing upright like a human, dressed like a western cowboy, opening its fanged mouth to speak, was just too comical!
Mo Shiyu urgently tugged Xia Yuan's clothes, whispering, "Xia Yuan, restrain yourself, we need to join their team to farm the dungeon sooner..."
Only then did Xia Yuan stop laughing, forcing a serious expression.
The clear-faced female student glanced at her phone, her tone carrying a faint arrogance:
"Anyway, we don't lack combat power anymore, the time has just arrived, can't be bothered to find others..."
