Chapter 2: Inviting the Victim
Adventurer, an all-purpose profession, can at its best assist heroes in defeating demons and creating new legends, but can also at its worst go as low as stealing and eating for free.
With just one silver coin, anyone can buy an adventure certificate from the Adventurer's Association and become an adventurer of the lowest level, such as an anonymous wanderer, a wanted criminal, an innocent country boy, an idle city thug, or even
It's a new day. The crowd at the entrance of Sion Dungeon is bustling and endless. Everyone is blocking the portal, waiting for the dungeon to open.
There are quite a few people making a living here. In addition to the adventurers fighting monsters and collecting materials inside, there are also small vendors hawking their wares on the periphery, as well as a large number of miners organized by the nobles to enter the dungeon to mine for ore. If you look closely, you can see that there are more ordinary people than adventurers.
Speaking of ores, the Sen Dungeon produces a unique red ore called Blood Ore, which is an important raw material for a certain industry of the local lord.
Every day, hundreds of miners affiliated with the lords enter the dungeon to mine. These ores are more important to the local lords than their lives, and they will never give up at any cost.
It is incredible that such an underground city can have a traffic volume of thousands of people at its peak.
"This is it, the legendary easiest novice dungeon that even a moron can clear in one life!"
At the entrance portal of the Senn dungeon, a young girl full of energy waved her delicate arms. Her long wavy blonde hair sparkled in the sun. Even the simple leather armor she wore could not conceal her temperament.
In short, this is a noble lady who ran away from home. God knows why she became an adventurer, probably because she has nothing to do.
"Please don't run so fast, Miss Heness!"
Normally, the attendants of a noble lady are either extremely beautiful women or extremely handsome men, and Fili belongs to the former. Her height of 1.8 meters gives her a pair of proud long legs, and her long sea-blue hair is like jewels. Unfortunately, her cold face is full of helplessness at the moment.
"We agreed that after conquering this dungeon, we will go home. Madam will be worried."
"I know, I know," Heinis responded nonchalantly, and while her followers were not paying attention, she rushed into the portal in one step!
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Fili stomped her feet in anger and hurriedly chased after him.
She has been dizzy with teleportation since she was a child. No matter whether she goes through a portal or uses teleportation magic, she needs to recover for a few seconds afterwards.
"Why is it so dark?"
Fili raised her head dizzily, and was stunned for a moment after seeing the scene in front of her clearly.
It was a ruined village, bleak, desolate and dark. Scattered torches provided illumination, but only a little could be seen clearly.
The black and dry branches looked like ghost claws, waving at the newcomers with malice.
Fili felt a chill down her spine. The intelligence clearly said that the Sean dungeon was a sunny ancient building complex. Why did it look like a haunted house now?
"You must have been tricked by the information dealer, bastard."
She clenched the curved sword in her hand and called out, "Miss, where are you?"
Although it looks creepy, since the Sen Dungeon is known as "the simplest dungeon ever", it means that this appearance is just a decoration and not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, Fili no longer felt afraid.
She passed through the collapsed village gate and entered the village. Most of the houses had collapsed, making it impossible to explore. At the end of the main road, a church stood there.
"Miss?"
No matter how Fili called out, Heinis remained silent, which made her feel a little confused.
She and Heinis came in not much apart in time, so how come they couldn't find each other?
“Is it hidden in the church?” She came to the church at the end of the main street and pushed the door hard, but it didn’t budge.
"ah!"
Just then, a shrill scream pierced the sky. Fili was shocked and rushed towards the source of the sound.
"Miss, where are you? If you hear anything, tell me back!"
There was silence. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, and a rusty door creaked and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The moment the door rang, Fili rushed into the dilapidated house, but there was nothing here except an ordinary wooden treasure chest in the middle.
"There's no mistake, there's the scent of the eldest lady here, she's been here," she took off her hood, revealing a pair of furry animal ears, her nose twitched a few times, and she locked the wooden box.
Henise had just touched this and she could smell it.
Fili opened the wooden box, but——
【Teleportation trap triggered!!!】
“Hah!?”
A thick fog suddenly enveloped Fili, choking her and causing her to cough continuously. When she opened her eyes, the scene in front of her had completely changed!
Just as I was in a trance, a warm little thing suddenly jumped into my arms.
"Miss?" She sniffed carefully and confirmed that it was the real Heinis.
The latter looked at her with tears in his eyes and sobbed, "I'm so scared. Why is there a trap in the treasure chest?"
Fili sighed helplessly and rubbed Heinis's head. "Don't run around next time. Follow me closely."
"Yes," the noble lady nodded obediently, and Fili then began to observe her surroundings.
They were teleported to a dilapidated house underground. Outside the door were uneven rocks, blood-red ores could be seen everywhere, and even the rock layers above were covered with crystals.
"It seems to be an underground mine or something like that."
Fili held Heinis's hand and walked out of the dilapidated house cautiously. She then discovered that this was a fairly large mine with tunnels extending in all directions. With a quick glance, she saw no less than five tunnels.
"This is a problem. Which way can we get back?"
Just when she was having a headache, several skeleton monsters came towards her with pickaxes in their hands. She swung her pickaxes casually, and a burst of sword energy smashed the skeleton monsters into pieces, scattering them all over the ground.
"Phili is so amazing!" There were stars in Heinis' eyes.
"Let's go this way first,"
In the end, Fili chose the largest mine based on her intuition, and the two walked in.
A few minutes after they left, the skull on the ground began to emit faint blue fire from its eyes and its mouth opened wide, as if it was laughing silently.
"Fili, look, there's a light over there,"
Heinis pointed to a spot of white light not far from the tunnel, where it was shining brightly.
In addition to being hidden in boxes, the treasures of the dungeon are also scattered in corners, and they will emit light. Ordinary props are white, the more precious ones are purple, and the most precious one is gold.
Therefore, the attraction of the light spot to adventurers is no less than that of an old bachelor suddenly seeing a peerless beauty!
A goblin squatted in front of the white light and dug the soil, with its back to the two of them, seemingly unaware.
Can I go? Heness asked with her eyes.
Fili considered it and nodded, and Heinis drew out her dagger, tiptoed over, and cut the goblin's neck with a clean blow!
"There's a flying knife in the spot of light!"
Heinis proudly showed off her trophy. Although it was just an insignificant throwing knife, it was her first time to obtain trophies in the dungeon and it was of great significance.
Fili smiled dotingly and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of something. Her expression suddenly changed and she shouted, "Come back soon!"
"What?"
Before Hainess could react, she could only hear laughter coming from one, two, three.
Three goblins suddenly jumped out from the corner!
"Wow, where did you come from?"
She killed two of them in panic, but her left arm was bitten by the remaining one.
Fili hurriedly killed the goblin, took out a bottle of potion from her bag and sprinkled it on Heness's wound. The wound healed immediately as soon as it touched the potion, without even a scar left!
"I'm so scared, where are these ghosts hiding?" Heinis kicked the goblin's corpse twice angrily. These guys took advantage of the dim environment and irregular terrain to perfectly hide their small bodies and quietly ambush the enemy.
They even use one of their companions as bait!
To be honest, even Fili let down her guard when she saw the goblin with its back to her, and she didn't even smell the other goblins.
"There's something wrong with this dungeon,"
Thinking of the previous teleportation trap, Fili also came back to her senses. Where was the easiest way to get down to the city? Isn't this very insidious!
Either she was deceived by everyone, or some strange changes happened in this dungeon!
"Let's go, be careful next time,"
This time she calmed down completely and would never underestimate the Sen Dungeon again.
By the way, why are there so many recessed holes on both sides of the tunnel? They look like they can fit two or three people.
“Bang!”
Just as she took the first step, she stepped on something, followed by a rumbling sound, and some mechanism was triggered.
"What? What happened?"
When she saw a huge iron ball rolling in front of the tunnel, Heinis was furious.
“Run!”
Fili grabbed Heness and ran back. They didn’t go far in the tunnel, so they would definitely be able to leave smoothly—
“Crack, crack!”
There was a strange collision sound, and the next moment, Fili saw a scene that she would never forget.
I saw dozens of pale skeleton ghosts holding hands, forming an unbreakable defense line at the entrance of the tunnel!
The leading skeleton was laughing wildly, with a scar on his ribs.
It’s Fili’s sword energy!
The skeleton monster she beat up has resurrected! ?
