The second day really didn't have much action either.
I was able to reclaim the top spot with all of the monsters that ca chasing at Long Shui Ling, but I could see that those three behind weren't giving up.
They were doing all they could to keep up, but they didn't have a monster attractor like .
With Long Shui Ling, I didn't need to worry about searching for monsters, I could just let them co to .
At the sa ti, we also got lucky and found two more area bosses for large boosts.
When the night of the second day ca, even though I slept for a bit, I found that I was still on top of the rankings when I woke up.
The rate of increase for that group of three had dropped.
It seed that they had reached their limit.
I revealed a satisfied smile seeing this, but I also knew…that I shouldn't let my guard down.
After all, there was still the dungeon boss left.
One hundred points, that was a large amount no matter how one looked at it.
I was currently at around eighty points while the group behind were around sixty points each.
Even if they were grouped up, a single dungeon boss would be more than enough to turn the tides.
Not to ntion, there would certainly be many smaller monsters and elite monsters gathered around the dungeon boss. That was the case for most dungeons, though it wasn't the case for the Great Wolf since that Great Wolf was a loner.
But the rest of the dungeons that I went to had all been like this.
So I knew that it was imperative that I find the dungeon boss before this exam ended.
The problem was…I didn't have a tracking skill so I wouldn't be able to find the dungeon boss like this.
We had found so others in the dungeon during the second day, but none of them had any ideas as to where the dungeon boss was. I had snuck up on them and had listened in to their conversations to confirm this.
It seed that most people were stumped by the position of the dungeon boss.
At the sa ti, I learned that many people had actually taken to working together, creating a small network to share information with each other in this dungeon.
Through that network, they had already searched most of the dungeon and couldn't find the dungeon boss.
"It's as if there's a part of this dungeon that's hidden…"
That was what they had said.
"A part of the dungeon that's hidden…" I muttered to myself as I killed so new sahuagins that had appeared.
Long Shui Ling seed to notice sothing was wrong, so she said, "Should we take a break?"
I looked at her before slowly giving a nod.
I knew that she was being considerate, but she was also right.
There was nothing to gain from forcing myself to search, it was better to calm down and analyze the situation based on the information that I had gained.
I knew that there was nothing to gain from rashly running around searching for the dungeon boss.
So we found a place to sit down on the side before taking so ti to think about it.
I pulled out a piece of paper which had so markings on it.
This was the map that I had been drawing the entire ti.
This was to make sure that I knew where I had explored and where I hadn't explored.
At the sa ti, there were so other parts of the map filled in which was the dungeon situation based on what I had heard from the other participants.
I had almost a complete map of the dungeon, it was just that there wasn't anything that I could find wrong about it.
Even if I wanted to, I wasn't able to figure out where the dungeon boss was.
The map just didn't make sense.
They were right, it was almost as if there was so kind of hidden chamber in this dungeon that no one was able to find.
I was about to give up when I suddenly heard, "Did you hear? That group has found the secret entrance to the dungeon boss' lair."
Since this was a dangerous dungeon where monsters kept being attracted by Long Shui Ling, I had my ears buffed slightly with my ability so I could hear all the noises around us.
But this had coincidentally allowed to catch this conversation between these people.
I imdiately looked up and turned in the direction that these voices were coming from, focusing on their conversation.
"What do you an?"
"That group has found a place that seems like it opens up to reveal a secret chamber. It's said that is where the dungeon boss is hiding."
"Really? But why would they let us know about this if they found it. There's nothing to gain from telling us, is there?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that it's because they need people to open it up. Without enough people, the dungeon boss door won't open, so they're spreading it to everyone."
"So they just want to use us, is that it?"
"Sigh, but it's better than nothing right? At this rate, we won't pass with how few points we have. At the very least, we'll be able to pick up a few scraps if we go with them."
"...I guess you're right…but what about the top guy? Is he not going to make a move?"
"I don't know…there's been no word from that top guy. It's like he's completely disappeared which is really worrying…but there's no ti to think about it now. We should go and join the fun before everything's taken."
With that, there were two sets of footsteps that rang out.
Long Shui Ling was looking at with a confused look when I suddenly stood up, so I turned and said, "I've found a trace of the dungeon boss, will you co with ?"
She was surprised to hear this, but she gave a firm nod without hesitation in the end.
After all, she was here to take the exam too, so she wanted to get as many points as possible as well.
So with this, we followed the two to the gathering.
