Chapter 141: Dungeon Acclimitization
Chapter 141: Dungeon Acclimitization
"Why are we just watching it!?"
Guang Yan shouted as she drew her bow and quickly aimed towards the weird looking gigantic baby.
Dozens of magic arrows appeared around her and shot towards the monster at the same time she loosened the strings of her bow.
All the arrows pierced through the monster's skin, but as if unaffected by it, the monster just slightly flinched.
It turned its weirdly shaped head towards Guang Yan, and once again started to scream.
Guang Yan once again drew her bow while jumping back, as the monster started to rush towards her.
But before she could loosen her arrows, a red beam shot out towards the monster's torso, which made it stop.
"Eh?", Guang Yan quickly turned her head towards the source of the beam, only to see it coming from Viel's eyes.
She then once again looked at the monster, who seemed to be unaffected by it as it was just waving its hand, trying to catch the light.
Guang Yan was confused, what exactly is the red light for, "It's not doing anyth-"
Before she could finish her words, the temperature in the cave instantly rose as the beam grew thicker in size, swallowing the monster in whole.
"Wha", Guang Yan could not help but close her eyes as the red beam grew brighter. But she slowly opened her eyes when she felt a cold wind waft through her face. A wall made of ice was currently blocking her from the heat.
"...Eh?", Guang Yan's confusion was reaching the peak. What in the world was happening!?
The red beam continued to fire for 3 seconds before it instantly vanished, only leaving the sizzling of the ground to be heard.
Any traces of the gigantic monster baby were gone, along with the Manananggal Queen. The cave also extended deeper as a huge circular hole was made from the red beam.
"W...what?"
Guang Yan could not help but stutter as she looked towards Viel, but to her surprise, the three people she was with were already casually walking away.
"It's my first time seeing that."
"It's my new favorite skill. Mr. Voice calls it Heat Vision, I call it My Eyes Go Brrr."
"...", Guang Yan could not help but twitch her eyes as she watched the two having a normal conversation after what just happened, "W-wait for me!"
Walking through the cave, Guang Yan noticed that the thousands of legs that were previously lined up and filling the entire cave were burnt beyond recognition. Did the two also do this?
Finally, after a few more minutes of walking, she could finally see the moonlight seeping in from the entrance of the cave. She quickly hastened her pace to breathe in the fresh air, only to find herself being pointed at by almost a hundred of people with their swords and spears.
"..."
"Wag kayong gagalaw!"
Hearing the unfamiliar language, Guang Yan could only let out a frustrated sigh as she slowly raised both her hands in surrender.
Viel was about to step forward, but Xing Cai blocked her path, "Let us deal with the Locals", she whispered.
She then slowly kneeled on the floor and retrieved something from her pocket while extending her palm towards the man that was shouting.
"Do not do anything rash, we seek you no harm", Xing Cai said calmly.
"Mga dayuhan! Saan kayo nanggaling!?", the man continued to shout in an unfamiliar language.
Xing Cai then slowly showed what she retrieved from her pocket towards the shouting man. It was a small stick with a white orb on its end. And slowly, she stabbed it in the ground.
"I told you not to move!"
"!!!"
Both Sofia and Viel could not help but raise their eyebrows as they suddenly understood the words of the man in front of them.
"We are travellers from the east", Xing Cai said.
The man was thrown aback as the foreigners in front of him spoke in their language.
"From the east?", the man said as he stared towards Sofia and Viel, "All of you look like you came from the west. What were you doing inside the cave?"
"We killed the monster inside"
"You killed the Queen!?", the man widened his eyes, "You're from the enemy nation!"
"Men, kill them!", the man said as he signaled for his men to charge.
"Really!?", Guang Yan dropped her arms sluggishly, "But we saved you!?"
"What do we do now?", Viel asked as she looked at Xing Cai.
"We run", Xing Cai said as she rushed forward the incoming mob of angry people, creating a path by waving her great sword.
Guang Yan quickly followed from her back.
Sofia and Viel could only look at each other and shrug. Sofia took the weird looking stick that was stuck on the ground before proceeding to run as well.
"Guang Yan, where's the portal?"
"We're near", Guang Yan said as she overtook Xing Cai.
The four of them ran for a few minutes before finally seeing the portal. Unfortunately, some locals were gathered around it.
Xing Cai clicked her tongue as soon as she saw them, "This will be troublesome if they entered the portal. Guang Yan, can you do something?"
"Let me"
Sofia was the one to answer as she extended her arms towards the crowd. The crowd were suddenly thrown aside as a strong gale puffed in between them.
Xing Cai nodded as she looked at Sofia before speeding up and exiting the portal.
And soon, one by one, they all appeared outside of the dungeon. The portal instantly closed as the last one of the group, Sofia, walked out of the portal.
"Ah! You guys are back!", Diao Mei welcomed them with a smile, "I wanted to enter but as you can see..."
Diao Mei pointed at two men that were holding a weapon, being surrounded by the standby unit.
Seeing the two men, Xing Cai could not help but click her tongue, "...Drifters. Have you talked to them?"
"No, I left my wand at home", Diao Mei sighed.
"Then", Xing Cai reached for her pocket, "Ugh, I forgot to pick up mine from the dungeon", Xing Cai groaned.
"Excuse me"
It was then that Sofia approached them, "Are you looking for this?", she said as she handed the weird looking stick towards Xing Cai, "This is very interesting, did your people make th- UGH!"
Before Sofia could finish her words, she suddenly kneeled on the ground as she shouted in pain.
"Sofi!", Viel quickly ran towards her, "W-what is happening?"
"Don't move her, Viel", Xing Cai calmly said as she grabbed Viel's shoulder, "She is undergoing acclimatization"
"A...accli...what?"
"She is currently being bestowed the powers of the dungeon"
