"Aren't you pretty smart?"
Linda took out two shovels from her spatial ring and handed them to Leah. "Don't just stand there. Before it gets dark, quickly confirm the route."
"I won't do it." Leah threw down the shovel and pointed matter-of-factly at the monster droppings in the small pit: "How am I supposed to dig something this filthy?"
"Really?" Linda shoveled down and threw one of the clumps onto Leah's boots. "It shouldn't be dirty now, hurry up."
Linda jumped into the small pit and started working without a care in the world.
Leah, who was standing by the pit, was completely dumbfounded.
A disgusting black, sticky substance slid down the edge of the boot.
Leah trembled, her face flushed with anger.
Remembering that she was in the middle level of the Dragon Forest, she suppressed the urge to scream, glared fiercely at Linda, and jumped into the small pit, baring her fangs.
Leah stepped on the excrement, her face grim, and she slammed the shovel into the soil, as if to tell someone how angry she was.
What kind of jerk throws poop on women's boots?!
"Stop glaring at others. Finish your work early and call it a day. The monsters at night are much fiercer than during the day."
Linda seemed oblivious to Leah's fierce gaze and focused all her strength on digging.
According to the game's description, this passage needs to be dug forty or fifty meters to find.
Seeing that Linda ignored her, Lia shut up and started working.
Although digging holes is both boring and tedious, the feeling of sweating it out with others was surprisingly enjoyable for Leah, reminding her of playing in the mud as a child.
Half an hour later.
Leah dug down with her shovel, expecting it to be solid ground, but it turned out to be hollow underneath.
She exerted too much force, causing her to lose her balance. Her eyes widened, and her hands waved wildly like a fledgling bird learning to fly, maintaining a 45-degree angle, unable to stand up or tilt down.
“You’re quite playful,” Linda said.
"Help me! I'm not playing around!"
"oh..."
Linda gently nudged Leah's shoulder, and Leah landed on her bottom with a thud.
Then, the ground there collapsed with a loud rumble.
A dark tunnel was revealed.
"Found it!"
Linda's eyes lit up, and she helped the disheveled Lia up.
Take out the prepared 'fluorescent tube,' a magical device that is very similar to a flashlight.
He lay down and crawled into the tunnel, saying to Leah, "Follow me."
"Are you sure you can get to the depths of Dragon Forest? Were we just stumbling into a monster's lair...?"
Leah muttered to herself as she followed Linda inside.
Ignoring Leah's complaints, Linda's nose was filled with the stench of mud. In the narrow tunnel, she couldn't move her hands and feet freely, and every time she moved forward, she felt a stifling sense of powerlessness.
Leah was still muttering to herself, "It'd better be an exit up ahead, otherwise it'll be troublesome to go back. It's all your fault for giving such bad directions..."
"You're complaining before you've even started, huh?"
Linda was furious. Someone like Lia, as long as he wasn't as strong as her, he probably wouldn't earn any respect.
"Hurry up, I don't want to bump into your butt!"
Leah poked his thigh with her finger from behind.
The air was thin in the tunnel, so Linda didn't waste her energy arguing with Leah. She focused on crawling forward to make sure the route was usable.
About half an hour later.
Linda mentally calculated the distance they had crawled, and realized that the two of them should have entered the depths of the Dragon Forest.
No one can be sure whether the moment they step outside will be a safe one.
If you're unlucky, you might run into a bunch of level 30 goblin warriors having a party.
'If only Kafni were here; as a thief and a deity, her perception of monsters far surpasses ours.'
Linda calmed herself down and continued on her way.
For the past ten minutes or so, under the light of the fluorescent tube, there was a pile of soil in front of me.
There's no road.
Why aren't you moving?
"I can't believe it," Leah asked, puzzled.
Linda: "It's blocked."
"ah?"
"The soil color is different from the surrounding soil. It should be newly formed soil from the collapse. We can dig it out."
Linda was prepared and took out a shovel to start digging.
His guess was right. After digging for a while, the soil in front became looser and looser, making it easy to reach the top.
The tunnel exit was large enough for Linda and Leah to stand side by side.
They looked at the huge rock pressing down on them from above, their expressions tense.
Remove that rock, and you'll find yourself in the depths of the Dragon Forest.
The map indicates this area is extremely dangerous; the Adventurers' Guild only recommends that Rising Sun-level adventure teams enter this area.
To put it bluntly, there are more level 30 monsters deep in the Dragon Forest than the excrement left by adventurers in the slums.
Leah said seriously, "I'll go out and check. I'll call you back if it's safe."
As a Star-Rank Adventurer, Lia wouldn't send Linda, who isn't a Star-Rank Adventurer, out on an adventure.
“I’m glad you have the thought, but there’s no need. I have a better way.”
Linda patted Lia's head with satisfaction. Then, to the girl's puzzled look, she took out a roasted slime sprinkled with cumin.
"Are you hungry?" Leah asked.
"No, this is for the monsters outside to eat."
Linda unleashed the Dark Whip, wrapping it around the roasted slime and placing it outside along the cracks in the giant rock.
Slime is a food that all kinds of monsters love. If there are monsters outside, this roasted slime will definitely not survive.
He waited a minute and then withdrew the Dark Whip. The roasted slime, aside from having more dust, remained unchanged.
