When the main hall fell silent, Bird Island instantly became a playground for monsters.
Countless rotting black birds merged into the dark sky, dropping droppings mixed with rotting flesh onto the ground.
The four people hiding in the amusement park keenly sensed the danger, and Du Zhen was the first to be affected. His exposed hand was dripped with a slippery, sticky substance, and a nauseating smell assaulted his nostrils.
The faint night vision ability that evolution had granted Du Zhen made him immediately realize what had happened. These little dead birds weren't very harmful, but they were extremely insulting.
"Be careful, those birds up there are pooping," Du Zhen warned the group.
Even before Du Zhen reminded him, Ah Bao had already transformed into a leopard cat. Its extremely strong jumping ability made it easy for it to swat two birds with one paw.
Xin Diao had already equipped his fist knives before entering the dungeon, making them perfect for smashing people's heads.
However, there were too many monsters in the amusement park. Although the long-armed and long-legged monsters hanging on the roller coaster tracks had taken root on the tracks, their arms stretched out towards the crowd without any restriction.
"There are too many monsters in the amusement park, let's go somewhere else." Although 03 can instantly KO things that are weaker than himself, he can only take care of one at a time, which is too inefficient.
Xin Diao set up a group control effect, and the four of them quickly retreated towards the woods.
They were halfway there when they were blocked by a sea monster that had come ashore.
The four fought and ran. Although the monsters didn't injure them, their sheer number kept them from resting, and they gradually became exhausted.
Du Zhen turned and ran towards the main hall: "I can't worry about that now, let's get to the main hall first."
Xin Diao and 03 had already made plans. The group quickly shook off the monster and ran to the entrance of the main hall. The sea monster was watching them from outside the hall, looking for an opportunity to attack, while the bird corpses hovered above the hall, ready to defecate at any moment.
Du Zhen took a breath and said, "Let's go in first. Xia Chuhe and the others are there to cover us in the main hall. If all else fails, we can sneak out tomorrow just like we did today."
The four entered the main hall, and the moment they stepped inside, they collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
When they woke up again, it was all over.
In the early morning, the warm sunlight shone into the temple, casting a holy glow upon the gods.
The god, who had previously been indifferent to joy or sorrow, was now smilingly teasing a little monkey. The little monkey held a book between its fingers, the other end of which was hidden in the god's sleeve.
The reason it's described as teasing is that the little monkey was baring its teeth and making faces, but the book remained motionless, as if it were welded to the monkey's body.
"You're all awake," God said with a smile. "Humans do indeed possess many wonderful things: wisdom, beauty, strength, diligence... I can understand these and use them well. But there is one wonderful thing that I have never understood, which humans call humility."
"There are some people whose greatest strength is humility. They repeatedly weigh things they can do, they dare not accept praise, and they can even learn from insults and criticism. It's a truly amazing quality, but I don't like it."
“I think I understand now.” God looked at the little monkey. “If I keep this quality for myself, this little monkey won’t be able to get the key.”
As the dungeon was about to end, the god became unusually agreeable: "Anyway, I'm tired of this game and have been wanting to leave for a while. Since you've got the key, I'll give you a chance. Do you have any questions about the dungeon?"
The moment the little monkey touched the key, Xia Chuhe and Lu Dangui returned to normal.
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."
She pointed at Zhou Xia, the star hunter: "Kill them first."
Zhou Xia was startled and quickly hid with her companions among the stunned believers.
If it were only Xia Chuhe and a few others in the instance, Zhou Xia might have had a chance to escape. But now, with the addition of Boss Xin and others, killing has become exceptionally easy.
A-Bao immediately locked onto Zhou Xia's partner, tackled him to the ground, and Xin Diao rushed in to finish him off with a punch and a knife, ending the fight cleanly and efficiently.
Even more decisive was 03, who locked onto Zhou Xia and delivered a fatal blow.
After resolving the unexpected situation, Xia Chuhe said, "Thank you for your generosity."
God remained silent.
Xia Chuhe gave a wink to the people beside him, signaling them to ask first.
Xin Diao asked impatiently, "I was split into two people in a dungeon. Is there a way to restore them?"
"I need to read your memories." Since Xin Diao and the others came in, God has not had the opportunity to read their memories or examine their character.
Xin Diao glanced at Xia Chuhe, who had returned to normal, and resolutely agreed.
The god merely gestured and shook his head, saying, "The damage you suffered is irreversible; Bird Island cannot help you."
Xin Diao wasn't too disappointed. She and Diao Jie had recently run several dungeons, but they hadn't found a solution.
Regarding the instance, no one else had any questions. Especially considering that their memories would be read by the gods, they were even less inclined to ask.
Xia Chuhe had a question: "The key you mentioned earlier, is it the core of the instance?"
“Yes.” God only glanced at the book that the little monkey was holding. The little monkey had already accepted reality and was now listlessly resting its fingers on the book, no longer wasting its energy.
What exactly is the core of the instance?
“Hmm, let me think about how to explain it to you.” God pondered, “You can think of the two worlds as two separate rooms. If you want to get from room A to room B, then you need to build a passage between the two rooms and find a way to open the door of room B. The core of the instance is that key to open the door.”
Xia Chuhe had previously questioned the validity of the claim that removing the dungeon core would cause the dungeon to collapse.
If this is true, the sudden disappearance of the Raptor Academy, whose microphone was taken away, would certainly be a great concern to the gods of the animal world. To prevent the world from vanishing, they would do everything in their power to protect the other core members. However, in Peach Blossom Village, the dungeon's core character draw wheel is still brazenly displayed in the village.
