Chapter 142 Hatching Ground



“Zhang Mo, Zhang Yuan, each of you take charge of one side. Use your [Eye of Detection] along the way to check for anything suspicious. I'll go through the middle.”

It remains the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method of carpet-style searching.

However, because there were two more people involved, the process was much faster than when Ouyang Qianjin was alone.

And there's also Zhang Mo, the 'Super Boy' contestant.

Although it is many times larger than the previous Dark Forest.

But at least it's much better than her going back and forth like she's sweeping mines all by herself.

really!

This is the advantage of having many people and great strength.

In just over an hour, Zhang Mo found Ouyang Qianjin and took her to a cave entrance.

That's right.

This time it wasn't a mound of earth, but a cave.

Moreover, the entrance to this cave looks quite large.

It is at least six or seven meters wide and about eight or nine meters high, and it is pitch black inside.

Judging from the blackened areas on the outside, there is no doubt that this hole was formed naturally.

Spider?

That makes sense in a cave like this.

Without saying a word, Ouyang Qianjin charged in with the demon statues leading the way, the stone statues following, and the skull hall behind.

After waiting for several hours, we finally got some results.

As a 'fruit farmer', Miss Ouyang naturally wanted to hurry in and take a look.

After completing the mission, leave this wretched place.

"Young Miss, there's something strange about this cave."

Sebastian and Canon, one wielding a longsword and the other a round shield and short axe, stood guard on either side of Ouyang Qianjin.

And standing next to them were the Zhang brothers, Zhang Mo and Zhang Yuan.

Not long after entering the cave, Sebastian reminded him.

“Young Miss, Sebastian is right. This place is indeed very strange. The cave is natural, but there are traces of artificial treatment inside.”

"Although it was covered up, these traces can't fool a professional like me."

Canon followed up with his analysis.

"Ah, you'll see when you look."

Although both of them analyzed based on their own experience and expertise.

However, as someone with the basic skill "Eye of Discernment," Ouyang Qianjin had already seen through this situation.

Especially when you can see one more entry than others.

So now, even when Ouyang Qianjin smiles, it becomes an extremely serious smile.

[The Hatching Forest: A hatching pool transformed from a natural cave deep within a dark forest, brimming with both danger and opportunity.]

[Hidden message: Think about what you've encountered before; the things here are even harder to deal with than those 'things' you've faced before.]

...

On the surface, and according to the game's description, this is simply the latter half of a dungeon.

This shouldn't actually make Ouyang Qianjin look so serious.

The reason for this is entirely due to the words in these two entries on the panel.

The tone of those words made her very unhappy.

"Ugh! Annoying!"

After closing the panel with some annoyance, Ouyang Qianjin said.

"What's bothering you, Miss?"

Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, we've made contact with the enemy ahead, so be careful of your surroundings."

Ouyang Qianjin shook her head.

To her, the Zhang brothers were just useful tools, and there was no need to say anything more about them.

Moreover, she would eventually have to find the answers to some of her questions herself.

"Yes, Miss."

Upon hearing Ouyang Qianjin say that the golem puppets scouting ahead had already engaged the enemy, the Zhang brothers immediately became alert.

After all, it's a dungeon, and it's located in a dark, secluded cave.

The cave appears to be six or seven meters wide, but if they were to actually fight, the space would still be too cramped for close-combat fighters.

'rustle'

'rustle'

What was that sound?

Just as the two had gotten into position, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The rustling sound came from all directions inside the cave, making the group feel a little uneasy.

"Don't panic, I'll go check it out."

Zhang Mo, who was carrying a lantern, held a dagger in one hand and moved the lantern around slightly.

However, they discovered that rocks and soil on the cave walls were falling away, slowly opening a small hole.

No!

That's not entirely accurate.

More accurately, it was as if fleshy growths 'grew' out of the cave walls!

Huh! Can fleshy balls grow in caves made of soil and rocks?

This scene somewhat touched upon a blind spot in Zhang Mo's knowledge.

"Young Miss! Big Brother! There's some here too!"

Just as Zhang Mo was staring blankly at this incomprehensible scene, Zhang Yuan's exclamation came from the other side.

It turned out that while Zhang Mo was investigating this side and discovered the clues, he also ran to the other side to check.

That's why I made the statement just now.

"It's not just on the cave walls, it's on the cave ceiling too."

Sitting in her wheelchair, Ouyang Qianjin looked up at the cave ceiling and calmly said...

Pat, pat—

As they were talking.

These tumors fell off one by one from the cave walls and ceiling, landing among the entire team and immediately disrupting their formation.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

Startled by the sudden appearance of these fleshy growths, Zhang Mo wore a sour expression and kicked one of them away.

The two tumors that were supposed to fall and hit Ouyang Qianjin were blocked by Sebastian and Canon.

These lumps twitched a few times after falling to the ground.
