Chapter 1515. Werewolf
A tragic victory.
Ivan was unconscious, his face was covered with dark purple lines eroded by magic, and even his breathing was very weak.
Nova sat on the ground, supporting himself with his dry branch-like arms, and coughed from time to time.
On the contrary, Gar, who was responsible for taking the beatings in the team, was full of energy.
However, he was the only fighter left, and he didn't dare to stay there for long.
He gave the two teammates potions, quickly collected the spoils, and then ran with the two teammates, one on each side, to meet up with Night Owl.
After he left, Lin Jun came out from his hiding place and dug out a fist-sized piece of lava heart fragment from under a piece of rock armor.
It is about one-tenth the size of the complete one, and the rest of the fragments were taken away by the half-dragon.
Strictly speaking, this thing is the body of the Fire Demon and the only valuable part of it.
As for the ten-meter-long shape, it is just a combat form supported by its abilities.
Standing in front of the rock armor scattered on the ground, Lin Jun was still quite emotional.
This imaginary final BOSS, died suddenly before he could challenge it.
The opponent was only an adventurer three levels lower than it.
Just because of that little flaw, he was killed instantly.
Lin Jun, who had been observing the situation, did not miss any details.
The cracks on the Fire Demon's breastplate were most likely caused when it was out.
In any case, he had a new understanding of how dangerous this world was.
Level is not everything. The safest thing is to never expose your true self.
Having said that, in order to move, I have no choice but to temporarily expose my body to danger.

The passage connecting the 10 floors is quite interesting.
The lower section is no different from other passages in the deep area, but in the upper section there are crude steps.
I don’t know who built the underground city.
Lin Jun still got a lot of information about the underground city from Inanna.
This young lady, who had never been to the dungeon herself before, had heard a lot of gossip.
This obviously does not include the origin of the dungeon.
However, there is information about the 10th floor.
The 10th floor of the Amethyst Dungeon, also known as the Thousand Stone Forest.
There are countless natural stone pillars inside that divide the entire level into upper and lower areas that are difficult to communicate with each other.
A winged wind serpent called Hakkar lives on top of the stone pillars, and below is the werewolf hunting ground.
Werewolves are actually not monsters but demons, and were once one of the most powerful races among demons.
However, ever since the Demon King was chopped to death by a brave warrior three hundred years ago, the demon clan has been caught up in an internal struggle over who should be the leader.
Humans also took advantage of this period of time to unite various races and barely develop. Otherwise, even if they lost the Demon King, the strength of the Demon Race would still be far superior to that of other surrounding races.
In the end, the vampire won the chicken dinner and established the Hermit Empire. Some demons who refused to submit to the vampires moved to the impoverished Far West, and the Hermit Empire stopped interacting with them.
The vampires had no choice but to launch a brutal purge against their arch-enemy, the werewolves. Some werewolf tribes fled into dungeons around the world and became a part of them.
According to Inanna, apart from the dungeon, werewolves can only be seen on the Western Islands.
But being on the brink of extinction does not mean that they are weak. On the contrary, to be so hostile to vampires, they must have corresponding strength.
Without training, they can reach at least level 30 just by becoming adults. The upper limit of their racial level is as high as level 90, the same as vampires. They are definitely a dominant race.
Lin Jun once asked Inanna about this: Aren’t humans and vampires afraid that these werewolves will recuperate in the dungeon and then come out to fight?
However, Inanna said that the dungeon has "rules", and even on the tenth floor they can only grow to LV50 at most.
As for crossing the levels, it has never happened before. Not to mention werewolves running out of the dungeon, there have never been werewolves on the adjacent ninth floor.
As for the specific reasons, Inanna didn't know. She only said that "rules" were common sense in the dungeon, whether it was the Amethyst Dungeon or other dungeons.
————
The Silver Thorn Squad did not stop to rest after reaching the tenth floor.
Although there were two injured people in the team, they still headed straight for the entrance to the 9th floor.
Werewolves sometimes hunt in groups, so it would be troublesome to encounter them even if the team was complete, let alone now.
They planned to go directly to the safe house on the ninth floor.
Lin Jun followed the route taken by several adventurers, and sure enough, he did not encounter any danger along the way.
But I saw an interesting scene.
When passing by a passage hidden in the rock wall, Lin Jun witnessed through the tiny holes in the passage the process of a level 40 wind snake hunting a rabbit monster.
It is said to be a rabbit monster, but the panel shows that it is called a schizodon, a monster that is no smaller than a brown bear, has sharp fangs and teeth, and can jump ten meters high.
It was not afraid of the wind snake's attack, but kept jumping up to bite the wind snake.
However, the wind snake was very agile. It not only dodged the attacks several times, but also took the opportunity to send out electric shocks, leaving the rabbit's body charred.
By the time the rabbit wanted to run, it was too badly injured and could not run fast.
What’s interesting is that the clawless wind snake actually used the skill of air flow control to drag away a body as big as a rabbit.
At first Lin Jun thought it would eat on the spot.
Whether it was a wind snake or a split-toothed beast, Lin Jun was quite greedy for them.
They all have good skills!
Unfortunately, now is not the time.
But the hiking experience ends there.
Awooo--
There were wolf howls coming from the front, and it was obvious that the adventurers had run into werewolves.
When Lin Jun came out of the path on the rock wall, he saw the half-dragons and elves being besieged, but the battle was almost over.
It wasn't like either side was about to be defeated. Although the two adventurers were in a mess, they were still able to retreat steadily under the siege of the werewolves.
Lin Jun even saw Inanna joining the battle.
Due to her limited vision, she couldn't see the enemy's position clearly, so she could only use the Water Snake Technique and rely on the elemental spirit's automatic aiming to attack the enemy.
Not to mention, as the only remote control at that time, it actually played a role.
It looked like they could still hold on for quite some time. The reason why it was near the end was that they had successfully retreated all the way to the ninth floor.
Sure enough, when they reached the last short distance, the half-dragon suddenly used his skills to repel the surrounding werewolves, and then quickly retreated into the passage.
The wolves gathered at the entrance and howled, but none of them stepped into the passage.
That’s good. This way, you don’t have to face the moral dilemma of whether to expose yourself to save your former employees.
The next step is to wait for the werewolves to give up and leave before going over there.
Lin Jun finally understood what "rules" are.
He was just very curious, what would happen if he captured a werewolf and forcibly took it to the ninth floor?
He would probably die suddenly, otherwise someone would have discovered such an obvious loophole long ago.
Lin Jun was still thinking, but the werewolves over there had quieted down.
They twitched their noses and turned one by one to look at Lin Jun's hiding place.
Ah, this...
It really has a dog nose...
