30: Enter the third level of the Ghoul's Lair!
You're too strong!
All my stats increased by 80 points, this first clear reward is too generous!
Thanks to Ye Ze, Liu Meiqi's overall stats also surged by 80 points.
Liu Meiqi ran over and shouted excitedly as soon as she saw Ye Ze.
"I didn't expect you actually did it," Liu Meiqi said with a look of disbelief. "I was just worrying about you."
Overly excited, she didn't notice Ye Ze's silence.
Her gaze fell upon the green vortex exit by the riverbank.
This was the Corpse Fiend Dungeon exit that automatically appeared after defeating the Corpse Ghoul Foreman.
"You go out first," Ye Ze said at this moment.
Hearing this, Liu Meiqi was clearly stunned. "Aren't you leaving?"
"The boss is already killed, what are you still doing here?" A hint of confusion appeared in Liu Meiqi's eyes.
Ye Ze handed the map in his hand to Liu Meiqi.
"What is this?" She took the map.
Corpse Fiend Lair Third Floor!
Liu Meiqi was startled. "This is a hidden level!?"
"You're going to challenge the hidden level."
A hint of worry flashed in Liu Meiqi's eyes. "The hidden boss should be very difficult to kill, right?"
"Probably."
"But I plan to go take a look." Ye Ze took the map back from Liu Meiqi.
"Alright."
Liu Meiqi knew she couldn't persuade Ye Ze, and staying here wouldn't help either. "Be careful."
"Keep the ring for now. Give it back to me after you kill the hidden boss," Liu Meiqi added.
"Okay." Ye Ze nodded.
Liu Meiqi glanced at Ye Ze worriedly, then turned and stepped towards the Corpse Fiend Dungeon exit.
Watching Liu Meiqi step into the Corpse Fiend Dungeon exit and leave,
Ye Ze shifted his gaze to the map.
After comparing the map information, Ye Ze discovered that the path leading to the factory's third floor seemed to be hidden beneath the river.
He hesitated slightly, then immediately decided, "Let's go down and see."
With a splash,
Ye Ze leaped into the water.
After exploring underwater for a moment, Ye Ze felt a current gently pushing him, guiding him forward.
"So it's an underwater secret passage."
Ye Ze understood in his heart and proceeded with Stealth in the direction of the current.
Soon, a bright light appeared ahead, and Ye Ze swam vigorously towards the light source.
The light became increasingly dazzling,
Splash—
He broke through the water surface and found himself in a small pool.
Looking around, this was a deep underground cave.
Before him was a massive door, unlike any door he had seen before. It seemed to be made of flesh, with a slimy surface and a slit in the middle, looking somewhat unsightly.
Ye Ze reached out and touched the large door. The texture made him couldn't help but mutter softly, "How is this like...?"
Suddenly, the map in Ye Ze's hand turned into a dazzling golden light and slipped through the slit in the door.
Immediately after, the fleshy large door slowly parted to both sides, revealing a quiet path.
At the same time, a wave of green poisonous mist rushed towards him.
After inhaling it, Ye Ze immediately felt a sharp pain throughout his body.
"This poison is so strong? Even my enhanced antidote potion can hardly resist it?"
Ye Ze was startled and quickly rubbed the Ring of Poisonous Breath on his finger.
Poison Devouring Shield!
The ring burst out with a green light, and a layer of green light film enveloped Ye Ze's entire body.
(0/10000)
(10/50000)
(50/10000)
The numbers were rapidly fluctuating.
Ye Ze didn't dare to delay and immediately stepped inside the door.
However, he didn't notice that the dense green poisonous mist rapidly spread throughout the underground cave and diffused through the river water towards the second and first floors of the factory...
...
At the camp registration point at the green vortex entrance, staff members were strictly questioning the team of professionals before them:
"What are your professions?"
"What level?"
"Let me remind you, do not attempt to falsify your profession information, or you will be the ones who suffer in the end."
The staff member said in a warning tone, "Before, there was a Chef professional who claimed to be an Archer. They went in standing up and came out lying down."
The Captain of this team had cold sweat dripping down his forehead, thinking, "Are you here to check our household registration?"
"We'll just farm monsters on the first floor, no going deep."
"That Chef said the same thing," the staff member said leisurely.
"Alright." The Captain immediately shut up and said no more.
"Register your information, and you can go in." Finally, the staff member agreed to let them enter.
But the few people in front of him were slow to react.
"I told you to register your information..." Before the staff member finished speaking, he looked up and saw that several professionals were staring blankly behind him.
He quickly turned back and saw a cute loli appearing at the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance.
"Huh? Isn't that Blacksmith!"
"Alright, they finally came out."
Just as the staff member gritted his teeth, preparing to harshly scold this audacious Blacksmith duo, he heard the Captain say in a shocked tone, "She... she walked out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance."
"Walked out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance?" The staff member was startled.
"How is that possible?" he murmured.
Teams that enter the Corpse Fiend Dungeon only come out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance if they clear it. Generally, teams that don't clear it use random teleportation scrolls to leave the Corpse Fiend Dungeon. Coming out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance means she cleared the Corpse Fiend Dungeon!
A Blacksmith, a Chef, actually cleared the Corpse Demon Factory Dungeon?
The staff member was in disbelief.
Someone cleared the Corpse Demon Factory Dungeon!
I wasn't mistaken, she came out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance, meaning she cleared the Corpse Fiend Dungeon.
Why is she the only one who came out? Where are the others from her team?
...
Others in the camp also noticed Liu Meiqi walking out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance,
The news that someone cleared the Corpse Fiend Dungeon quickly spread throughout the camp...
...
Inside the camp tent, several Teachers were drinking tea and chatting idly.
"It seems we'll have to wait at least one or two more days for a team to clear it," Wei Qing said leisurely after taking a sip of tea.
"I really didn't expect Wan Xiao's team to fail so miserably." The Teacher who bet on Wan Xiao shook his head, his tone filled with disappointment. "This Wan Xiao, he's too much of a failure as a Captain. He's too stubborn and not suitable for leading a team."
"Indeed, it's just a pity for that Iron Guard professional student. The assessment is in a few days, and being so severely injured at this time is undoubtedly a huge blow to his entrance assessment."
"Two days is still too short. The students are generally still level 4 or 5. It's indeed a bit difficult to clear the Corpse Demon Factory Dungeon," Yang Ren said.
Just as several Teachers were lamenting the difficulty of the Corpse Demon Factory Dungeon, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside the camp.
Listening carefully, they heard that it seemed someone had cleared it?
"Someone cleared it?"
Several Teachers were all startled.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
"Could it be Wei Xingyue's team? But they only went in half an hour ago."
...
A hint of surprise appeared on the faces of several Teachers. They walked out of the tent together and quickly headed towards the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance.
"Where is the team that cleared it?" They walked directly to the registration point and asked the staff member.
The staff member pointed at Liu Meiqi with a complex expression.
"Her?"
Several Teachers, including Yang Ren, were stunned. Their gazes all turned towards Liu Meiqi.
Wei Qing cast a Detection spell and threw it at Liu Meiqi.
Level 10 Blacksmith!?
Wei Qing frowned and confirmed with the staff member again, "Are you sure she cleared the Corpse Fiend Dungeon?"
"Yes." The staff member nodded affirmatively,
"Many people saw her walk out from the Corpse Fiend Dungeon entrance."
Wei Qing's gaze turned back to Liu Meiqi. Suddenly, he felt that this girl looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where at the moment.
