There's no ti limit for delving into the Original Dungeon; theoretically, an individual can stay as long as they wish.
But basically, no one would stay long inside. At most, they might find a hidden wall and take a brief rest in the tailor's room.
The lingering ancient Fear in the dungeon constantly erodes the individual.
Even a head of an organization capable of stirring wind and rain in the Corner would feel intense discomfort.
Whether it's torches or food, it's never enough, and any wasted ti amounts to losing life.
Usually, 1-2 days of dungeon exploration will yield results,
either the individual dies or they clear the dungeon.
Due to the issue of ti flow, one or two days inside the dungeon only appear as a matter of seconds to the outside world. Therefore, no matter how many people want to go to the Original Dungeon, they don't need to wait; they just need to ensure the order of entry.
Today, however, is sowhat different.
The shop assistant organizing the film store suddenly received a notification from the Corner, and before he could react, his cigarette slipped from his mouth.
"What? The dungeon will undergo temporary closure?"
He rushed to the elevator entrance and put up the temporarily closed sign.
Although there wouldn't be any custors coming during this period, he still had to follow the rules.
"Is it Luo Di or that blond guy... to think they could temporarily close off the dungeon, are they planning to live inside?"
...
Luo Di had another dream.
Only this ti, the dream was slightly longer.
The bright morning sun shone through the curtains, waking Luo Di from his sleep, and the related mories flowed into his brain.
It was the sumr vacation of junior high school, and today there was a special family trip. His parents planned to take Luo Di and his sister to the newly built wildlife park in the city.
Besides the food prepared by their mother, the siblings also brought snacks with them.
However, the snack Luo Di prepared was sowhat unusual; it was an "Eye Candy," which really looked like an eyeball, and if you glanced at it inattentively, the Eye seed to be moving.
The family spent a rarely happy ti in the zoo,
but when night descended, just as the family was getting ready to leave the park, there was a sudden noise from the stable in the distance, as if an animal had escaped its confinent.
Luo Di, who was sucking on the Eye Candy, turned to look imdiately.
He saw a strangely shaped black horse galloping wildly. The black horse's mouth was longer and more slender than ordinary horses, and even its teeth were unusually sharp.
The mane drifting on the horse's back had a feathery feel to it.
For so reason,
Luo Di felt very familiar with this horse and even seed to rember its na.
"Crow Colt!"
As Luo Di inadvertently called out this na, the black horse seed to hear the call and charged straight toward him.
It didn't crash into him,
instead, with its slender head, it lifted him completely and placed him securely on its back. It ran out of the zoo with Luo Di, speeding down the highway.
Luo Di also seed to have awakened mories,
reached out to stroke the smooth mane,
leaning close to feel this long-lost intimacy.
This was his first pet in life, also the first mount... which was supposed to accompany Luo Di to Corner Depths but was eaten midway by soone.
He pressed his body completely against the horse's back, perhaps due to the fatigue from the day's play, he slowly fell asleep.
When Luo Di awoke once more,
the sound of a crackling campfire reached his ears.
The foul sll of grease quickly made him realize he had just had a dream and that he was currently in the most dangerous Original Dungeon.
But in the next second,
a strange sensation ca from his body, especially his hands, and there was a weird feeling in his mouth.
Luo Di didn't know how long he had slept,
but his body's injuries and expended energy had all recovered, only all the food he scavenged from the upper level of the dungeon was completely eaten, with his tal backpack empty.
Corresponding to the dream,
he really was hugging a "Crow Colt," but this Crow Colt was quite different, with a very obvious crow's head, faintly emanating a putrid sll.
Underneath the crow's head wasn't a horse's body, but a humanoid form. Touching it felt rough, but its structure wasn't much different from human, with its curves and contours.
Luo Di realized the severity of the situation, sprang to his feet, and instinctively wiped his hands on his body.
Following that, he felt the foreign object in his mouth and spat out an eyeball.
Gurgle~ His stomach followed with a demanding growl of hunger.
The commotion woke the other two at the sa ti. The eye covered in saliva was the first to wake up, "Wow! I slept so comfortably, Luo Di, your saliva really can heal!"
Nightingale slowly propped up its body, making strange sounds from its beak, seemingly having also had a good sleep.
"I... how long have I slept?" Luo Di pretended as if he had done nothing, imdiately asking about the ti.
Nightingale replied, "Fifteen days."
"What?! That long?"
"Your injuries recovering in fifteen days, especially in a dungeon environnt, is already quite an achievent. I'm even wondering if you still retain your divine status."
"Injuries..."
All sorts of mories of battles with Nightingale ca rushing back to mind.
When the mory reached a certain point, Luo Di's arm suddenly throbbed with pain. He quickly looked over to find sothing seemingly squirming under his skin, as if there were ancient white creatures between his pores.
Luo Di grabbed the relic on his chest, and the foreign sensation disappeared.
He also slowly recalled so things, rembering that special feeling from the past.
Suddenly, a woman's voice ca and interrupted his thoughts:
"This eye wasn't wrong... you really have potential. In my previous world, there was never a young person like you.
Even I, having been raised by crows from birth, had only learned so divine arts at your age, and it wasn't until forty that I formally accepted the divine status inheritance.
Since you have that one in ten thousand chance of becoming the potential successor of the Prison Director, I'll help you this ti.
It's to repay the person who once helped and trusted .
Additionally, these days, I've caught a scent similar to crows on you. Although it's a sort of lateral species, the genetic origin should be the crow."
Luo Di nodded, "Yes, I once had such a mount, but unfortunately, back then I wasn't strong enough to protect it."
"I can feel your love for crows... That's why I'm willing to let you hold ."
These words were spoken so plainly, leaving Luo Di montarily at a loss for words.
"Um... no... I'm sorry."
Nightingale tilted its head, not quite understanding why the once decisive and resolute young man had suddenly beco so restrained.
"Hm? It's okay. I've simply accepted the Crow God's inheritance. My essence is still that of a 'human' template. Your genes are also very good. Through that fight, you qualify to reproduce with .
I never thought of such things before, but during my ti in the dungeon, my body seems to have a strong inclination in that direction.
If I can't get out, you should be able to take our child out."
"Ah? No... Miss Nightingale, I will get you out of here."
"Oh~ then let's deal with the most troubleso matter first."
The crow dragged a sack intending to set off, but Luo Di stopped it abruptly.
"We can't just go over there directly... The Green Light Cave is not fixed; it's a sort of living thing and can move around.
Those captured by the green presence will be taken inside. If not captured by the green presence, an individual might never discover the cave entrance.
I suspect the Green Light Cave can close itself and completely hide.
If you and I go together, the green presence would not be silly. It might completely hide, not giving us a chance to find it."
"Caw~ How do you plan to do it?"
"How's your regeneration ability?"
"Not bad."
Luo Di pointed to the "Bird Cage" lying nearby.
"Could I trouble you, Miss Nightingale, to cut off my head one more ti?"
...
Half an hour later.
Crow Nest Cave.
A youth, covered in blood, with broken limbs and multiple peck marks all over, escaped.
Dragging a flayed arm, he ran frantically, finally hiding behind a giant stone due to overexertion... He tried to repair his body, but the regeneration speed was very slow.
Long without food, the youth's body had shrunk significantly, even feeling like he was losing protein, with nearly no regeneration ability left.
Even so,
A wrinkled safe box still hung from his waist.
"I must quickly find the hidden cave entrance, trade this crow's head for so living supplies, I can't die here..."
The youth muttered quietly. Through the gap when he opened his mouth, one could faintly see it full of fallen teeth and toothless gums.
Just as he managed to prop himself up, holding a torch, intending to search for the tailor cave.
A burst of green light shot over...
