"Hmm?" Teresa raised an eyebrow. "The difficulty increased?"
"Damn it, why did the difficulty increase?"
"This kind of dungeon is inherently difficult..."
"Someone must have triggered something."
"Why did he run around for no reason? Now it's a big mess."
"I think that person did it on purpose. He wants to get us all killed."
"He wouldn't want to get us all killed. If we die, he won't survive either... In my opinion, he's just too reckless. This kind of dungeon is most afraid of newcomers who don't understand anything and just mess around."
"This kind of reckless bastard deserves to die!"
"His name is Caroso. He's arrogant, flaunting his noble status every day. He doesn't value other people's lives. We should arrest him and stop him from causing more trouble."
"Yes, letting him act freely benefits no one."
"We're inside the dungeon now. Even noble lords aren't protected. We just need to..."
Incited by some individuals, everyone's gaze towards Caroso turned unfriendly.
Dungeons feared accidents, the unknown, and increased difficulty the most.
Currently, it seemed Caroso was responsible for the increased difficulty, and he instantly became the target of public criticism.
Many people had already started to panic. They had previously believed Teresa could lead them out, but now they weren't so sure!
With the difficulty increased, there was a possibility of advancement. If it became a Fourth-tier dungeon, then...
Unlike the reactions of the people present, the bullet screen exploded.
[Holy crap! Boss Caro's luck is amazing!]
[As expected, we need to find the Underworld Flower]
[Difficulty increased, there are hidden maps and hidden materials!]
[If you find the hidden map, this so-called increased difficulty is just for farming points]
[Damn, why don't I have such good luck?]
[Boss Caro, hurry up! There's at least one Third-tier legendary extraordinary item and one Third-tier legendary extraordinary material here!]
[Damn, I really want to go in and play for them]
"What are you all shouting about?" Teresa saw the people behind her starting to argue and said loudly, "Are you scared by this trivial matter?"
"On the battlefield, if you dared to fight a company against a company, would you stop if they sent a division? I'm telling you, you bunch of cowards, I would charge forward without fear even against a division!"
"High risk means high reward. I said I would lead you out, and I will definitely lead you out!"
"Anyone who is scared can leave my team, find a corner to tremble, and pray to the deities. See if the deities will pity cowards!"
"While praying, remember to strip naked, tie your hands, and kneel on the ground, begging passing enemies to forgive you and keep you as slaves instead of killing you."
Hearing Teresa's words, everyone present fell silent.
It was evident that Teresa's claim of being able to handle the people present was not just talk.
The other teams had internal disagreements and couldn't unite, but only Teresa's team maintained unity.
Following the team was definitely better than running around aimlessly.
In this kind of dungeon, encountering such a mature team was a rare opportunity. If Teresa ignored them, they would be lost.
"Moreover, Caroso obtained many clues and even saved many of you at the beginning. Is this how you repay him?" Teresa looked around. "I don't care about your dirty dealings. In this dungeon, you will all listen to me!"
"I'll deal with the Underworld Flower," Caroso said. "You deal with the Dean."
"How many people do you want to bring?" Teresa asked.
"Nimel and I, two people, are enough!" Caroso said firmly.
"Even if you die, you must hold off all the monsters on the Underworld Flower's side. Do you understand?" Teresa didn't argue with Caroso this time.
"Okay." Caroso nodded.
"This is the map of this place." Teresa took out a blueprint and handed it to Caroso.
Caroso took the map and glanced at it. All the locations matched. The Underworld Flower's cultivation room and the sacrifice area were far apart. To reach it quickly, they would probably have to dig a tunnel underground.
However...
All the walls here seemed to be reinforced.
Caroso could easily destroy the elevator, but the walls here were completely unharmed despite everyone's efforts for so long.
"Thank you." Caroso expressed his gratitude, grabbed Nimel's small hand, and they darted into the elevator.
Caroso, with Nimel, went up through the large hole above the elevator. After ascending about three floors, Caroso swung his sword at the wall, creating a large hole.
Inside, rows of jars containing poisonous people were arranged.
This was a laboratory. The poisonous people floated in green liquid, wearing bronze masks, with bubbles emerging from them.
These poisonous people had turned black. They all uniformly lacked their left arms, which had been replaced by brass mechanical arms.
Caroso led Nimel around the laboratory. Soon, Caroso spotted a workbench specifically for card making, though there weren't many materials on it.
[Why is there even a workbench here?]
[Is this for Boss Caro to craft cards on the spot?]
[Actually, it's not impossible?]
[Let's see what these materials are and what can be made.]
Caroso walked over to the card-making table and picked up a flower. "Dragon Tail Flower."
Immediately, he put the flower down and picked up a small stone. "Variegated Stone."
Nimel looked at Caroso with a strange expression. Why is my brother reciting the names of each material? Is he teaching me?
Or, does the information my brother obtained have some other purpose for him to recite these out loud?
Soon, Caroso finished reciting the names of the materials.
[It's for a draw card! Damn!]
[A Death Knight card!]
Soon, the netizens found the corresponding card.
Caroso's gaze sharpened. "Death Knight?"
Death Knights had disappeared from the continent a long time ago, likely during the Age of Destruction.
The deities they worshipped were defeated, and the Goddess of Dawn emerged victorious.
No, if there had been draw cards during that era, they would have been passed down.
Could it be that the Card God's absolute domain influenced the past, causing this card to appear back then?
Wait, wait, wait... This card didn't actually appear; the bullet screeners know how to make it. All I have in front of me are the materials!
"What Death Knight?" Nimel always felt that Caroso seemed to like talking to himself.
[Yes, this is a draw card, a two-star blue spell card.]
[Wait, I think I know how the Hand of Greed came into being. Did someone take these materials from here and give them to Kong Bai, who then researched it?]
[Damn, that's actually plausible!]
[Boss Caro, are the cards in your spare deck enough?]
Caroso shook his head.
[Then it's over...]
[Wait, with the same materials, I have another "yin-yang" card here. Just change the Vengeful Spirit Stone to a copper block.]
[Holy crap, as expected of a big shot, I know what card it is now!]
[Damn it, print it quickly, there's just enough room to play!]
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
