When the morning ca, the raid group set out in full.
That is everyone except for Johnny's group who watched as everyone left from the camp.
Since there were no monsters around, they made it to the floor boss' room without any problems.
It was almost too quiet, so everyone couldn't help feeling tense.
When they arrived in the room, the first ones to go in were Tie Gang and the vanguard.
They slowly made their way into the room just in case the floor boss had respawned or co back, but they found that it was still empty. There wasn't a single trace of a floor boss here.
It was just like when Tie Gang had brought Lin Fan and Long Shui Ling here.
As we stood there in the room, everyone tried to see if they could find anything.
Tie Gang just waited on the side since he knew that it was useless.
After all, we had searched this room carefully the other night.
After around ten minutes, there was a collective decision to give up since they weren't able to find a single thing.
Even with all kinds of different abilities used, it was as if this room had been wiped clean of anything that would give them so kind of clue. So they had no choice but to accept that they wouldn't be able to find anything.
With this, Tie Gang led the group up to the second floor.
But of course, we didn't go up to the second floor together.
Instead, we were divided into three different groups that would go up.
First was naturally the vanguard, the strongest fighters. They would be responsible for exploring what was ahead and clearing out anything that they found on the second floor.
The second group would be the main group that had most of their people and supplies. They would co up after the vanguard had made sure that the coast was clear so they could start setting up a camp that they could search from.
The third group would be the rearguards. They would be in charge of making sure that there was nothing that followed them from the first floor.
At the sa ti, they would be setting up a camp in the floor boss room to make sure that the floor boss didn't suddenly respawn and co up after them.
So they were basically in charge of cleanup duty.
Tie Gang slowly led the first group up to the second floor.
We went up a set of stairs and appeared on the second floor.
When we ca up, we saw that there was nothing around the area.
It was just like when we first ca into the dungeon, it was as if there was so kind of safe zone around this area that kept the monsters away. However, we didn't let our guard down since we knew that there was sothing strange about this place.
It was a good thing that we didn't let our guards down.
There was nothing in the area around the entrance to this second floor, but when we moved a bit further away from the entrance, we saw…that there were these simple barricades that had been made.
When we found these barricades, Tie Gang imdiately raised his hand to stop us.
He had all of us wait behind while he went out alone to check it. But of course, he also made sure that Long Shui Ling's illusions were on him so that he could pass by without a trace.
After a few minutes, he ca back and said, "There are just barricades there, but it doesn't seem like there's anyone to guard them. It seems like they were just barricades that were set up in a haste and left behind. But how could there be barricades in a place like this?"
Though he asked this question, there wasn't a single person that was able to answer it.
All of them looked at him with confused looks as they didn't know what was happening.
Tie Gang couldn't help revealing a disappointed look before turning in my direction.
I had been silently observing the barricade since I had found that there was sothing off about this. It wasn't just that barricades being set up here were strange, but rather the direction that they were facing.
The barricades were facing the other direction, pointed away from the entrance.
It was as if they were used by whatever ca up to the second floor against the monsters that were here.
If that really was the case…then wasn't that a good sign?
But for so reason, I couldn't help feeling that sothing was wrong, very wrong…
After a long mont of silence, Tie Gang asked , "What's wrong? What did you find?"
When he said this out loud, everyone imdiately turned to look at .
There were a few gazes that weren't as kind, but they knew that this place was a dangerous place and it was no ti for personal feelings. So they all waited to see what I had to say.
When I was called out like this, I had no choice but to tell him what I found.
I pointed at the barricade in front of us and said, "Look at the direction that the barricades are pointing, doesn't it seem strange to you?"
Everyone revealed confused looks at first when they heard this, but then they all revealed looks of understanding when they looked at the barricades.
These were all smart people, they wouldn't miss sothing that I could see after I had pointed it out like this.
As soon as they saw what I said, they all imdiately knitted their brows and fell into deep thought.
But as I observed them, I could see that there was hope that appeared in their eyes.
Tie Gang slowly said, "So it seems like they were used against whatever was on the second floor…Then in that case, doesn't that an that…"
His voice trailed off, but there was also a trace of hope that appeared in his voice.
