Chapter 40: You are the only one with more chapters!
As the two chased each other, they had already reached the depths of the room.
A stone door appeared in front of the two men, and the rat holding Miss's wallet was trembling under the ferocious gazes of the two men.
The stone door seemed to be alive and opened automatically, giving Shushu a chance to escape.
I walked into the stone gate cautiously. No strange monsters jumped out. The space was very empty, with only a platform in the middle. A lump of meat the size of a stone pillar was lying on the platform, wriggling slowly.
Miss walked closer to observe the pile of flesh, which seemed to be made up of many rotting corpses, slowly expanding and shrinking rhythmically.
"Is it breathing?" It was the first time that Sylvia saw such a thing and she was a little curious.
As the pile of rotten meat squirmed, an ominous magical power flowed out, flowing along the platform to the grooves on the ground, and then transmitted to other places.
“It’s a heart.”
Mis was certain that this thing must have some connection with the lord's room.
Raising his wand, Miss cast an attack spell, hitting the giant heart.
The pile of rotten meat was more fragile than the two men had imagined and was shattered by the blow.
As the heart exploded, the groove that transported magic power also dimmed.
At the same time, in the lord's room, the movement of the huge minotaur statue actually slowed down.
Sunny, panting, noticed something was wrong and dragged her seriously injured and unconscious companion to the corner. "President, it...it seems...it seems to be slowing down."
Kurt noticed that on the circular floor in the center of the room, only two of the three light circles were still shining.
"It seems that the lord has been weakened for some unknown reason. It's time for us to fight back!"
Sunny wiped the tears from her face, looked at her unconscious companion beside her, and smiled cheerfully again, "Take a rest, we will take everyone away."
Finally, the three people who were left sober stood together, looking up at the huge stone statue.
"If I die, you should give up the challenge. Although you may not be able to leave the dungeon alive, there should still be a glimmer of hope. Afterwards, please ask Sunny to give a message to my wife, saying that I am having an affair and will not be coming back." Kurt instructed his companions, regardless of the blood on his forehead staining his vision.
He recalled the reluctance on his wife's face when he left home a month ago, and felt heartbroken.
Shanni burst out laughing. "I can't say such things. Besides, my sister-in-law is pregnant now. I advise the boss not to have an affair."
Shanni's words made Kurt panic. This veteran adventurer in his thirties, who was at level 4, lost his composure. "Pregnant? When did it happen? Whose?"
"Yours, stupid president. I wanted to tell you after you return to Delvens City this time. I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Boss, congratulations!"
The man seemed to be stunned, motionless, his eyes slowly regained vitality from the dullness, and finally tears burst out of his eyes.
"So, I'm going to be a father. It turns out I'm going to be a father. I've made up my mind. I'll go home tomorrow." Kurt couldn't hide his excitement.
Shanni was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, "It's settled. Don't let sister-in-law wait too long."
"Yeah." At this time, a man in his thirties was as happy as a child.
Outside the lord's room, a large group of adventurers were bored and had nothing to do. Most of them were sitting on the ground playing cards.
The [Cold-Blooded Sharp Teeth] Guild has been in the Lord's room for more than half an hour, and has no intention of coming out.
Waiting is always the most exhausting thing, and several E-level adventurers were obviously unable to sit still.
"Why hasn't he come out yet? Is this lord so powerful?"
"No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? The Cold-Blooded Sharp Teeth Guild has two C-rank adventurers. How can they not be able to defeat a big rock?"
"But it's been so long, there won't be any accidents, right?"
Everyone started arguing, but everyone in their hearts hoped that the second team would succeed in the challenge.
If even the Cold-Blooded and Sharp-Teeth Guild failed in the challenge, then all of them would be doomed.
Because looking around, it is impossible to pick out a third team of challengers among so many adventurers.
Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, the stone door of the lord's room suddenly shook, attracting everyone's attention.
"Did you make it?"
"I said they could win. After all, Kurt Atwell is a man I recognize!"
"This damn prank, please end it now."
The stone door slowly opened, but the scene of the hero's triumphant return did not appear. Instead, the gargoyle descended again.
"All challengers of the second team have been killed. Please ask the third team to quickly enter the lord's room. If no challengers enter within a certain period of time, the lord will enter a violent state in advance and hunt down all challengers on the fifth floor. The lord is automatically repairing..."
The moment the gargoyle appeared, half of the adventurers' hearts died.
After hearing the gargoyle's declaration, everyone fell silent.
The [Cold-Blooded Sharp Teeth] guild, which they had placed high hopes on, fell into the abyss, and not a single member gave up the challenge.
"It's over. We're dead."
"Even [Cold-Blooded Sharp Teeth] lost?"
“Haha, hahaha, destroy it, destroy it all!”
Everyone knew that someone needed to enter the lord's room now, otherwise the lord would soon become furious and come out to kill them, but no one dared to step in.
Even if one knows the ending, no one wants to put themselves under the axe in advance.
"Why isn't anyone going in? Get some people in quickly. I don't want to die now!"
"Asshole, why don't you go in and help us delay time? All you do is yell!"
"Don't go over there, don't get close to that place, because if you get any closer it will explode, boom!"
Under the tremendous pressure of death, the adventurers became more violent, and some even suffered mental breakdowns and went crazy.
Meanwhile, Miss was fighting with a plant.
A real carnivorous plant.
The room, built with huge stones, was in a dilapidated state. There were many potholes of various sizes on the walls, floor and ceiling, and it also emitted a foul smell.
From time to time, multiple stamens emerge from the huge mouth of the Piranha Plant, spraying highly corrosive pollen around.
Fortunately, the Piranha Plant's movement and attack speeds were very slow, so the two had enough time to dodge the attack.
"Be careful, this pollen is not only corrosive, it may also be poisonous. Don't touch it." While dodging the attack of the carnivorous plant, Miss reminded the gangster Sylvia to be careful.
At this time, Sylvia was hiding behind Miss, looking at the carnivorous plant that was spraying everywhere with disgust.
"I don't want to be sprayed with this stuff, it's so dirty. How are you going to get rid of this ugly flower?"
Mis thought about it, his eyes lit up, "Who said we have to get rid of it? We just need to destroy the heart it is guarding and we'll be done."
The two dodged the attacks while walking around the carnivorous plants and arrived in front of the stone gate.
Sylvia grabbed the round door handle and pulled hard.
"That's not right. Why can't this door be opened? Xiao Heizi, think of a solution quickly!" Sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, but the stone door remained motionless.
Seeing that the carnivorous plant was about to catch up, Miss pulled Sylvia behind her, gently pushed the stone door, and with a bang, the door opened.
Mis looked helplessly at the red-faced Sylvia. The girl punched him in the chest and said coquettishly, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
