"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of sothing hitting the ground ca closer and closer, making Creamy Little and her group incredibly tense, their hearts clenching in worry.
"Sister Little, what should we do? We can’t just sit here and wait for death, can we?"
Gu Yue asked urgently, "I can’t even use Healing Technique, can any of you use your skills?"
"Sa here, all skills are sealed. Big Smoke, you’re strong, see if you can break the ground open."
The more critical the situation beca, the calr Creamy Little seed. Since Overturning Water wasn’t reliable, they would have to save themselves.
"Smash!"
Big Smoke used all his strength, swung his iron rod, and slamd it hard into the ground. With a crisp sound, the iron rod bounced right off.
"No way, the ground is too hard, it can’t be broken!"
Big Smoke massaged his aching wrist, too afraid to attempt it a second ti.
Just then, the ’bang bang’ sound beca more frequent, almost like sothing running, coming straight towards them.
"Oh no, it heard us!"
Creamy Little’s face changed color, "Everyone, prepare for defense. Overturning Water could co down at any ti, hold on, no one give up!"
"Big Brother, when will you co down? If you don’t hurry up, you’ll be picking up our corpses!"
Big Blood Bull let out a wail, feeling the threat of death in their current situation. Only Overturning Water could save them, but why hadn’t he co down yet? Wasn’t his charm enough?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of impact finally reached them, but what made their skin crawl was that there was nothing in sight—spooky indeed!
"Sister Little, I’m scared..."
Gu Yue’s naturally timid nature made her face pale with fright at such a supernatural occurrence," I feel like there’s soone behind —ah, don’t co any closer!!!"
"Little Yue, don’t get all jumpy, soone might think the boss harassed you!"
Big Smoke burst out laughing on the spot, not expecting Gu Yue to be so cowardly. He chuckled at the wrong mont, "If we took you to a haunted house, you’d be scared to death!"
"Big Smoke, how can you make fun of people like that? I’ll rember this grudge and definitely tell Little Tong to get back at you!"
Gu Yue’s face flushed, not sure if it was from fear or anger, but it worked sowhat, as it eased the fear in her heart.
"Quiet down, everyone! Joking around without considering the timing, danger can appear at any mont, ready yourselves, got it?!"
Creamy Little sternly warned her companions, ringing alarm bells for them.
"You’re being too cautious. This must be so special sound effect, a system trick to scare us; it’s not as dangerous as you think. If it was, sothing would have already—"
Before Big Smoke could finish his sentence, the ground suddenly blew apart, and a strong figure burst out from the ground.
"Holy crap!"
The sudden appearance of this figure startled Big Smoke, making him curse outright. After getting a good look at the figure, he first froze, then showed a delighted expression, calling out, "Iron Craftsman, co help us, we’re all trapped inside!"
"You daredevils! How could you barge into Lava Tribe’s forbidden zone, are you looking to die?!"
No doubt, this figure was the Iron Craftsman that Su Ran was wary of. It was unexpected for him to appear before them in this way, and he looked furious, pulling out a blunt giant axe, eyes filled with murderous intent, unchanged by their status as players.
"This is actually the tribe’s forbidden zone? Elder, don’t misunderstand, we accidentally fell in here, and we’ve been sealed since landing. We can’t get out, can you help us? Rest assured, we promise never to step into this forbidden zone again!"
Seeing the Iron Craftsman looking truly angry, Creamy Little hurried to explain, afraid of further provoking this NPC. The arrival of the Iron Craftsman allowed her to breathe a quiet sigh of relief, relaxing her tightly wound nerves. Thankfully, it wasn’t the boss, so there was no need to worry about the threat of death anymore; after all, this was a dungeon, and encountering an NPC signified triggering the first stage of a quest.
"You strange humans are truly reckless, how many deaths will it take for you to learn?"
The Iron Craftsman complained irritably, though the murderous intent in his eyes subsided for the ti being, even stowing away his giant axe.
"How many deaths? No way, do dungeon NPCs retain mories from each run? Isn’t that a glitch?"
Big Smoke sensed sothing amiss. If what the Iron Craftsman said was true, then it was indeed a major issue!
"I thought there was sothing off about this dungeon. The scenario changes every ti we enter, and now there’re so many traps. It must be this guy’s doing!"
Recalling the riddle of this dungeon and coupled with this peculiar NPC, Gu Yue sensed a significant connection and imdiately shared it in the team channel, hoping it would draw everyone’s attention.
"This Iron Craftsman is no ordinary character; he can even Burrow and enter this so-called tribe’s forbidden zone. His identity is definitely more than just a craftsman!"
As Gu Yue finished speaking, Big Smoke eagerly chid in the team channel, "If we can cozy up to him, things should go much smoother in this dungeon!"
"Let’s see how it plays out."
Creamy Little didn’t rush to make a statent. Leaving the Iron Craftsman to the side wasn’t ideal, so she turned to him and explained, "Senior, we are not being reckless. We actually ca here to help the Lava Tribe overco its plight. If there’s anything you need us to do, please ask. We’ll do our best to complete the task and restore the tribe to its forr glory."
