Chapter 223: Raid dungeon (15)
Once the meeting was over, Tie Gang went to inform the support group of what was about to happen.
After he left, the leader of the other team walked right up to me and said, "I don't know what kind of tricks you used, but this kind of luck won't be enough for you to show off. Just know that you won't have beginner's luck on your side next time."
Without even giving me a chance to say anything, he bumped his shoulder into my shoulder and walked past me with a snort.
When the others of my group saw this, they all revealed deeply knitted brows.
Blaze and Kaito were even about to come forward to say something, but I raised my hand to stop them.
Even if we were in competition with each other, we were still in the same guild and more importantly, we were in the same raid dungeon group. Even if he was putting on an aggressive look, he didn't dare to take things too far since he knew his limits.
So this was within the limits of what I could endure.
After all, if we made the first move, then he could do whatever he wanted.
So we couldn't make the first move.
The others didn't understand this logic as much since they were still young.
They looked at me with gazes like they were asking me why they couldn't do this, but I just shook my head and said, "We're still in the same group right now. We still need to work together with them in this raid dungeon. There's no need to create unnecessary conflict when we can turn the other cheek."
They looked like they found this hard to accept, but they didn't challenge me in the end since they could see the serious look on my face.
But it really was hard to suck it up, even for me.
I knew that they wouldn't stop at just this, so I had to think of a way to deal with them in the future or else they would just cause even more trouble.
If a few of the monsters were to suddenly charge them from behind…no, that would be too suspicious.
I had to think of a way to take revenge without making it too obvious.
This would also depend on the opportunities that were available.
So this was not something that could be forced.
The first thing that I had to think about was what Tie Gang had said.
It was indeed strange that the Guardian Cat had suddenly appeared in front of us and attacked us. There had to be something happening behind the scenes of this raid dungeon.
So the first thing was to figure this out since my life was more important than anything else.
Time passed and it was soon the next day.
During this time, everyone had been preparing to set off for the next safe zone.
However, it wasn't as if everyone would be heading to the next safe zone. There would need to be a few people left behind to watch over this camp.
That was where the group that had been in the center of the formation came in.
Other than the supporters, there were also some weaker Awakeners that had been there that had come along as guards. They would be in charge of watching over the camp with the supporters that remained, making sure that nothing happened to it while we were gone.
At the head of our formation was Tie Gang and he didn't have a good look on his face.
It wasn't that there were a bunch of monsters blocking our way that made him look like this. Rather, it was because of a lack of monsters that he had his brows knitted like this.
There should have been some monsters that blocked their way, but there were barely any mummies wandering around. There wasn't even a need to mention the scarabs since there weren't any here.
What was happening where these monsters that were supposed to be wandering around had suddenly disappeared like this?
First there was the sudden appearance of the Guardian Cat and now there was the sudden disappearance of the normal monsters.
This dungeon just didn't make any sense at all…
It was almost as if there was something controlling the monsters in the dungeon, but if that was the case…that would be very bad for them. Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr
This was a very rare case that was possible, but dungeon bosses had the ability to evolve. They had the ability to become stronger through unknown means and gain intelligence beyond what dungeon bosses should have.
When that happened, the monsters and area bosses in the dungeon would start acting weirdly, going against the normal set patterns that they had…
Tie Gang really hoped that this wasn't the case since that would be disastrous for them.
While this Pyramid was only a C Rank Dungeon, if the dungeon boss had really mutated, then it would bring this up to an A Rank Dungeon. A Rank Dungeons were dungeons that would be hard even for him, an A Ranker since he didn't have his normal team with him.
He just hoped that this wasn't the case.
After a long moment of silence, Tie Gang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The rest of them all followed Tie Gang as he set off.
The plan was the same as yesterday where we had the vanguard create a path while us in the flank secured it.
But with the lack of monsters, there really wasn't anything for us to secure.
The vanguards were able to cut down the few monsters that were here and the supply team was able to easily make their way through.
Even when we arrived at where we had been yesterday, we found that there weren't any monsters wandering around at all.
Just where had all of those mummies that we had seen yesterday gone?
It really was strange…but at least it was a safe and easy journey.
It only took us an hour to reach the second safe zone.
