"What, you guys haven’t encountered a trap like this before?"
Su Ran asked curiously, hoping to ease the awkwardness of his identity being exposed.
"Isn’t that obvious? If I knew there was a trap here, would I stupidly walk right into it?"
The Big Smoker grumbled in annoyance. It seed that the near-death encounter had really shaken him.
"My Wang Cai can sense dangers. Let it lead the way; it should help us avoid these traps."
To ease the tense atmosphere among the team, Su Ran introduced his mount, Wang Cai. This little guy’s talents weren’t limited to just that; it could not only sense danger but also detect treasures. Several past opportunities were thanks to Wang Cai. This was a natural ability of the Artifact Beast and wasn’t counted as a skill.
"Alright, let your Wang Cai lead the way then."
Creampuff unhesitatingly agreed to Su Ran’s suggestion, fully trusting his words.
For the first ti, Wang Cai was given such prominence. Excited, its tail wagged vigorously. Under Su Ran’s direction, it headed in the direction of the volcano, constantly sniffing the ground, truly looking the part.
"Bro, no wonder I’ve never seen you die. With this pet’s help, you avoid all dangerous terrains. Dying must be really hard for you!"
Big Blood Bull looked enviously at Wang Cai. After playing this ga for so long, he still hadn’t found a satisfactory pet. Compared to Overturning Water, who had a whole group of pets, there was no comparison...
Comparisons are frustrating. Big Blood Bull decided not to think about it anymore; the more he thought, the more depressed he beca.
"Big Blood Bull, you don’t get it. Overturning Water in our team is like an indestructible cockroach. Even in the most dangerous situations, he turns things around. Let tell you, the first ti we tead up in this Lava Tribe dungeon, everyone else died, but he was the only one left standing. Such a powerful Double-headed Fire Dragon BOSS couldn’t bring him down, even with a self-destruction. Is it crazy or what?"
The Big Smoker recalled the epic battle with the Double-headed Fire Dragon, a scene so thrilling it was deeply etched in his mind, impossible to forget!
"Of course, bro, you can’t win the Heavenly Gang Group championship without so real strength!"
Big Blood Bull firmly believed in Su Ran’s strength and wasn’t surprised by what Big Smoker had said.
Su Ran was sowhat speechless. Couldn’t they wait till he left to complint him? It was so embarrassing!
He couldn’t help but cough twice, signaling to Big Smoker that it was ti to change the subject.
"Wang Cai got the wrong na."
Creampuff exchanged glances with Su Ran, hinting, "If it were called Xiao Hei, it’d sound better and be easier to rember."
What?!
Su Ran broke into a cold sweat. The storm was already on the verge of erupting. Was Wan’er here waiting for him? Such a scher! Luckily, he wasn’t the type to speak his mind; otherwise, he might have gone along with it...
"Look at you, frightened. Fine, I won’t ask."
Creampuff gave Su Ran a deep look and turned away, walking a bit faster, while saying, "Keep up. Don’t fall behind, and if anyone’s careless enough to fall into a trap, find your own way out!"
"Sis Xiaosheng, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
Gu Yue, being a girl, could clearly feel that Sis Xiaosheng was in a bad mood, though she couldn’t pinpoint why exactly.
What exactly is the relationship between Sis Xiaosheng and Brother Overturning Water now?
A couple?
Gu Yue couldn’t tell at all. Describing them as "frenemies" seed most fitting.
Brother Overturning Water is really sothing. Such a pretty and capable girl being this forward, yet he’s still not seizing the opportunity. Could he really be into n?
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, just focus on the dungeon."
Creampuff had no intention of explaining, her gaze fixed on Wang Cai, her expression unchanged.
"Oh..."
Gu Yue shook her head in regret, saying no more.
"Hey, Brother Overturning Water, what’s with the ’Xiao Hei’? You two have barely been apart, and now you have so secret code?"
The Big Smoker looked curiously at Su Ran, hoping he’d solve the mystery.
"How would I know? You’ve died once already; focus on the dungeon, or you might die a second ti!"
Su Ran didn’t bother to engage with Big Smoker. He directly activated the Treading on Air Technique, walking three ters above the ground, with no worry about triggering any traps. This was one advantage of having a flying skill.
"Fine, don’t tell then, but flying to the sky isn’t necessary. Watch out for traps above too!"
The Big Smoker was extrely envious of Su Ran’s air-walking skill. It was the ultimate way to show off. No wonder Creampuff was fond of him; the envy was suffocating!
"Woof woof!"
Just then, Wang Cai seed to have discovered sothing, barking excitedly and darting forward. In the blink of an eye, it had dashed nearly ten ters.
"Quick, follow it!"
Creampuff quickened her pace, chasing after Wang Cai. There was no worry about encountering traps in areas Wang Cai had walked over, which was her confidence.
"There’s potential!"
Su Ran’s spirits lifted, becoming a bit excited. Whenever Wang Cai lost control, he’d gain sothing significant. This ti should be no different. Who would think that such a small dungeon would hide a mysterious treasure?
"Brother Overturning Water, why has that dog suddenly gone into heat? Was it hit by sothing?"
Having died once, the Big Smoker naturally had so standing. He sniffed around, perplexed, "I don’t sll any aphrodisiacs. Could it be odorless and tasteless?"
"Big Smoker, you’d better stop talking; it seems more normal that way,"
Gu Yue said, both amused and annoyed, "If the ga had that kind of setup, wouldn’t it be chaotic? Quick, follow the path, and don’t stray!"
"Howl~~~~"
Sothing unexpected happened. Wang Cai slipped and fell into a pit, disappearing from their view.
"Damn, this must’ve triggered a trap. That’s how I got launched!"
Having personally experienced it, the Big Smoker spoke with authority. He didn’t expect even this dog to fall for it. Su Ran’s earlier words were now a slap in the face.
Creampuff hurriedly stopped and looked at Su Ran with a questioning gaze, the aning clear.
"To err is human. Even a thousand-mile horse can stumble. So what if this dog did too?"
Su Ran hadn’t expected that Wang Cai, a platinum-class Artifact Beast, could also trip. He had just praised it, and now it was so embarrassing!
"Huh? Sothing’s not right!"
Creampuff, being the closest, looked down into the pit and didn’t see Wang Cai. Upon closer inspection, she found many passages inside, but had no clue where they led. It was undoubtedly a new discovery!
"Everyone, co over! We’ve found a new area!"
"What? This isn’t a trap?"
The Big Smoker was a bit incredulous. Having endured so much in a trap, Wang Cai accidentally stumbled upon a new area. What a stroke of luck!
Well, wait, Wang Cai is a dog after all, so a dog’s luck is par for the course. Once a day is normal, but if it had diarrhea, who knows how many tis it’d happen.
"Wow, it really is!"
In response to Creampuff’s reminder, the Big Smoker and the others gathered around, even Su Ran flew directly over the pit to look down, surprisingly finding that Wang Cai had disappeared.
"Strange, there wasn’t any notification about Wang Cai perishing—how did it suddenly go missing?"
Su Ran felt quite puzzled. He opened the pet panel and found Wang Cai’s interface had beco abnormal, preventing summoning or issuing commands. A bad feeling arose within him—there was indeed a trap down in the pit!
"Why are you still hesitating, Chairman Xiaosheng? Jump down quickly; don’t lose track of it!"
The Big Smoker, seeing so many paths, had no ti to hesitate and was the first to jump down.
"Go!"
Creampuff didn’t want to miss out on this rare new area. Even if Big Smoker hadn’t said it, she had already made her decision and jumped into the strange pit.
Gu Yue and Big Blood Bull followed closely. They wanted to see what secrets lay hidden inside—it was a rare opportunity they couldn’t pass up!
"Don’t jump!!!"
After closing the pet interface, Su Ran tried to stop them, but it was too late. He could only watch as they jumped into the pit and disappeared inside.
