Chapter 1428: First Dungeon Run
Avyn was about to talk back, but she swallowed back the words. She could tell that Tang Shaoyang was serious with his words.
"I will do my best," She ended up clicking her tongue and continued to walk deeper.
Tang Shaoyang did not really care if she called those strangers or the enemy derogatorily. But it was different if they were the people on his side. He knew The three Revenants did not mind, but he needed her to get rid of that bad habit.
The Revenant "ambushed" them, but of course, the three were prepared for them. If not for Tang Shaoyang, the ambush might have succeeded.
The Revenant did not leave behind a body when they died, but a core. A black core contained Dark Energy.
[Dark Core]
It was the item left behind by Revenant. It did not look useful, but it might be a good material for Alchemy or maybe smithing. Maybe it had some use for Vandir The Death King.
[Nope! Those things are useless to me. You can make a potent poison with it, I think. I am not sure about smithing because I am not familiar with that field.]
Vandir immediately answered his question in his mind. Vandir had been staying inside The Spirit World after fighting with Rubia. The Undead King wanted to return but had to suck it up and stay longer in Aqura.
"I can save it for Yu," Tang Shaoyang took all drops as they continued. More Revenants and more ambushes as they went deeper.
There were several Demi-God Rank Revenants. He understood why the adventurers and The Clown Troupe failed to clear the dungeon. It must be cleared by a God Rank for sure. If they had found several Demi-God Ranks, then the boss might be a God Rank.
After a few minutes of fighting the Revenant, they finally saw light at the end of the long dark tunnel, "This is too fast for a boss, right?"
Zara's senses could not go through. That was why she thought it was a boss room. There was a barrier that blocked her sense to go further. It was the same for Tang Shaoyang and Avyn.
After the last ambush from Revenant, they finally reached the area with natural light. It was not a boss room, and the light came from stones on the ceiling.
But it was a room with seven paths. There were another seven dark tunnels in front of them.
"Look what we got here," Zara found skeletons, not just one or two, but many of them. There were twenty-three skeletons, in armor and clothes. Without a doubt, these people were part of the adventurers. The Clown Troupe has their own unique outfit.
While the remains had become the skeleton, their equipment was perfectly fine, "Do you want to take their equipment?"
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, checking his inventories. Even though he had upgraded his inventory several times, there was still a limit to his inventory. A single massive tentacle took seven slots. The bodies took most of the slots as well.
"Take the good one. Epic Grade and above only."
There were only three pieces of Epic Grade equipment. A cloak, a bow, and a dagger. Only those three pieces of equipment are worth taking.
"Have you figured it out, Avyn? Are there any traps within this tunnel?"
Avyn had been looking into the seven tunnels while Tang Shaoyang and Zara scavenged the equipment from the dead.
"I can sense danger from all seven tunnels, but this one is the most dangerous one," She pointed at the rightmost tunnel.
"Do you think the boss is in this tunnel?" Tang Shaoyang came over. He could not feel anything from the tunnel, and Zara was the same.
"There's a writing below," Zara was more thorough than Tang Shaoyang and Avyn. She found the information they did not notice.
"Don't Enter this tunnel! It's not a boss room, and it might be more dangerous than the boss itself! It's a demonic creature with several elemental powers. The most dangerous one is The Space Elemental Power!"
Tang Shaoyang could feel the mana from the writing. That was why it did not disappear despite how long the writing was.
Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, and Zara exchanged glances. The warning did not just dissuade them from entering the tunnel. In fact, they were attracted to this tunnel because of the warning.
There were no words exchanged as the three entered the tunnel. They did not even investigate the other six tunnels.
It was a long dark tunnel, but they could not sense any monster nearby. After five minutes of walking, there was still nothing. It looked safe at first, but the warning clearly told them this one was the most dangerous one.
The tunnel was long as it took them half an hour to reach the end of it.
Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes as the light was so uncomfortable for him. After walking for half an hour in the tunnel with no light, the light at the end of the tunnel was hurting his eyes for a bit. It took him some time to adjust to see what was at the end of the tunnel.
The blinding light dimmed down as the torch with purple fire lit up. They were in a big hall with several giant pillars. Each pillar was carved with a human face with different emotions. Happy, crying, sad, angry, laughing, until the one with no expression.
At the end of the hall, there was a figure standing. Just like the writing, it was a demon. It had a humanoid body, around three meters tall, had purple skin, and a pair of broken horns.
The demon had gauze covering her chest and a long skirt. Her long white hair was tied, her eyes were closed with gauze as well, and her hand was a blade. That was right, her hand was made of a blade, and the tip was touching the ground.
It was similar to one of Yu Shun's undead. But this one was taller and looked more dangerous than Yu Shun's undead.
The demon slowly raised her head and gradually released her aura.
"Duck!" Avyn called out.
Tang Shaoyang and Zara trusted Avyn and ducked.
Boom!
Tang Shaoyang immediately looked back and found a slash had just been carved on the wall. That was the ninth mark on the wall. Each slash was separated by three centimeters. As if the demon was marking that he was the ninth group that entered this hall.
"This will be interest—" Tang Shaoyang got up and turned toward the demon, but he was greeted by the demon. She was right in front of him, separated by just two meters. He failed to sense her movement.
Her blade hand moved toward his neck in a flash, leaving a blurred trail.
