The Correct Way to Clear the Dungeon

The entrance to the ancient well was quite narrow.

Xu Nan and Qin Lele struggled with all their might, even using the lubricating oil Qin Lele brought, just to squeeze the rather plump A Tang through!

Fortunately, it opened up considerably below. After sliding past the tightest spot, the resistance lessened significantly.

With a splash, Xu Nan heard the sound of A Tang falling into the water.

The two of them followed suit, descending the rope. The ancient well wasn't deep, and there was a little accumulated water at the bottom. Illuminated by the flashlight, a bumpy path led to the unknown depths underground.

A Tang lay on the ground, staring blankly.

Xu Nan comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. We won't make fun of you for being fat."

A Tang stared blankly at the well entrance:

"I'm thinking, how am I going to get out later?"

Xu Nan and Qin Lele exchanged glances. Clearly, neither of them had considered this question.

Although Qin Lele was initially surprised, after some time, she had adapted to the fact that Xu Nan's friend was a Giant Panda, and that this Giant Panda could speak human language.

She thought for a moment, "It's fine, I still have half a can of lubricating oil we can use."

Xu Nan suddenly asked, "Why do you carry lubricating oil with you?"

Qin Lele's face showed a hint of shyness.

Xu Nan's face flushed, and he immediately knew he shouldn't continue asking. He sighed inwardly, lamenting the decline of public morals. Qin Lele was still so young.

The next second, he heard her say shyly:

"My lock-picking skills aren't very proficient. Sometimes when I encounter rusty locks, I tend to break them easily. At times like that, a little lubricating oil is very helpful."

Xu Nan's face stiffened. So he had been thinking the wrong thing.

Well, wasn't it perfectly normal for a rogue to carry lubricating oil?

Awooo!

From deep underground, faint sounds similar to wolf howls could be heard, but they were very slight, only audible occasionally.

It seemed that the Dungeon built by the Gnolls was still some distance from the entrance of the ancient well.

Qin Lele took out an Operation Plan, her face flushed, clearly very excited.

It seemed this was her first time too.

"This is the Strategy Guide I meticulously researched."

"According to the drone survey, there are over twenty capable fighters in the Gnoll Camp. They've set up sentries at the entrance leading to the outside world. We'd best be completely stealthy..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Nan waved his hand, "It's okay, we have a better way to clear the Dungeon."

Qin Lele asked curiously, "Uh-huh?"

Xu Nan waved his hand, "A Tang!!"

Although A Tang was reluctant, he puffed out his chest and charged into the darkness ahead.

Not long after, sounds of fighting came from the front.

Qin Lele said anxiously, "This won't alert them... will it?"

On the last word, her voice suddenly became a little shaky.

Because when she and Xu Nan arrived, they only saw two skinny Gnolls lying unconscious on the ground, presumably knocked out by a single slap from A Tang.

"What do you mean 'alert them'? Didn't you do thorough reconnaissance?"

Xu Nan was full of confidence, "Gnolls are just cannon fodder! If there are no other monsters, we'll just watch. Oh, by the way, are you hungry?"

"I brought some food. We can just follow behind A Tang later."

Qin Lele hesitated, "Isn't that... not good?"

Xu Nan: "Want some Potato Chips?"

Qin Lele's eyes lit up, "I want two bags!"

From the depths of the darkness ahead, came A Tang's indignant roar, followed by the terrified wails of the Gnoll sentries!

Not long after, the group followed the winding path downwards for several hundred meters.

They were already some distance from the surface here. The air had become murky, but fortunately, the sound of the Underground River flowing could be heard. The fact that the Gnolls were preparing to build a Dungeon here proved that it was still suitable for habitation.

Along the way, the Gnoll sentries were no match for the Giant Panda A Tang.

She charged ahead alone, incredibly brave and invincible, knocking out Gnolls with a single slap, utterly ferocious.

Qin Lele initially felt a little embarrassed, but later she readily accepted this completely new way of clearing a Dungeon.

Xu Nan wasn't surprised.

After all, Giant Pandas were inherently powerful creatures, and A Tang was an exceptionally divine being.

Even after becoming his pet, her level was limited to the same level two as his, but her health points were still over two hundred!

This number was already terrifying.

Although Xu Nan couldn't see her attributes, nor her feats, abilities, or spells, his intuition told him that this pet, who still hid things from her master, was not simple.

Xu Nan had originally planned to clear this Dungeon trip with Qin Lele, but later changed his mind, wanting to test A Tang's depth.

Facts proved that the trash creatures like Gnolls indeed couldn't test the abilities of a Giant Panda, a creature at the top of the Earth's food chain.

A Tang had been auto-attacking the whole way, not even getting injured.

However, what made Xu Nan feel strange was that even though he was directing her to work, this guy was surprisingly energetic and seemed a bit excited.

Could it be that this Giant Panda had a penchant for killing?

"The Gnoll Camp is on the other side? What should we do? Do you need me to sneak over and set a fire to disrupt their morale?"

After finishing two bags of Potato Chips, Qin Lele was eager to try.

Xu Nan shook his head and rejected Qin Lele's plan, although her plan was the most reasonable and the most frequently used by adventurers in other worlds.

"If the Gnoll sentries can't force out her strength, then let the real Gnoll Warriors do it!"

After inheriting the Ron Sorcerer bloodline, Xu Nan unconsciously began to become more cunning, and selling out his pet also became second nature.

He pulled Qin Lele to sit by the river, casually spread out a picnic cloth, and took out a lot of delicious food.

Then he pointed to the Gnoll Camp on the opposite bank:

"A Tang, it's up to you!"

Pet Edict!

The Giant Panda glared at Xu Nan indignantly, but she could only vent her anger on the poor Gnoll Warriors!

She howled and swam across the not-so-shallow Underground River, swatting away the Gnolls' fence and causing a commotion among the Gnolls!

More than twenty Gnolls began to gather, and even characters like Gnoll Archers and Imp Axemen were hidden among them!

Although Xu Nan was eating Roast Duck, he still activated Darkvision and was closely monitoring A Tang's situation!

A Tang sneered, "All of you, kneel before your mother!"

The Gnolls were muttering in Gnoll Language, and a tall Gnoll with a long knife and shield in his hand tried to communicate with her in Common Language.

The two sides couldn't understand each other, which was very awkward.

A Tang was annoyed by the sound and swung her palm without a word!

Her strength was terrifying. The thin Gnolls couldn't resist her power at all. Several of them surrounded her, but she slapped them away with a few slaps!

At this moment, a cold arrow shot out from the darkness and crookedly stuck into her shoulder.

A Tang, who was originally incredibly brave and randomly slapping the Gnolls' heads, immediately let out a wail and sat down on a Gnoll's head, crushing it: "Wuwuwu, I'm injured!"

On the opposite bank, Xu Nan's chanting sounded. First, he cast Protection from Arrows, then Greater Heal and Enlarge Spell!

The originally half-human-sized Giant Panda immediately became nearly two meters tall, looking quite terrifying.

"Come on, you can do it!" After finishing these, Xu Nan ran back to gnaw on the Roast Duck again.

A Tang roared upwards, tears of a hero falling, and then jumped up and sat on several more Gnoll Warriors, killing them!

The Gnolls threw away their armor and weapons and began to flee. The Imps were even more so. They hid in the corners, trembling. Knowing that with their short legs they would definitely die if they ran, and that surrendering might offer a glimmer of hope, they raised white flags in the cave.

"Trying to run! Did you ask your mother's butt first!" A Tang's eyes were red with bloodlust, and she chased after the Gnolls, sitting on them randomly.

Her jumping ability was amazing, and her weight was powerful. Sitting in a pile of Gnolls killed several at once.

In just ten minutes.

The Gnoll Camp was directly flattened. Most of the Gnolls died tragically. The scene was extremely bloody, and even Qin Lele couldn't bear to watch later and ran to the side to vomit for a while.

After all, she was a girl who hadn't seen bloody scenes.

Xu Nan was much better. Although he also disliked such scenes, perhaps the power of his bloodline helped him calm down.

The two found a shallow spot in the river and crossed it.

By the time they arrived at the camp, A Tang had calmed down. The remaining two Gnolls and the Imps were squatting in the cave, not daring to show their heads. A chilling atmosphere permeated the camp.

"I want a raise. I want the TV in my bedroom replaced with the biggest one, and you need to buy me a computer that suits me."

A Tang sat on a Gnoll's corpse and said resentfully, "Otherwise, I'm going on strike."

"Let me tell you, next time you want me to sell my butt, you'd better think of some reward measures. Pets also have emotions. If the baby is unhappy, the contract might also become invalid!"

Xu Nan looked closely and saw that there was indeed a favorability option in the pet column.

Before, it seemed to be [Normal], but now it was [Resentment]. Once it reached the [Abhorrence] state, the contract signed before would probably automatically become invalid.

Xu Nan immediately comforted her, "Those who are capable do more work. A Tang, you're so great, I'll get you Xin'er's autograph next time."

"Really!?"

The favorability immediately changed to [Friendly].

Xu Nan's mouth twitched slightly. How realistic!

At this moment, Qin Lele searched the camp's supplies with some confusion:

"Huh? How are these Gnolls so poor? Don't they even have a complete set of adventurer's gear?"

Xu Nan pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the calm and composed A Tang.

The latter held his head high, his eyes open and honest.

Xu Nan thought for a moment:

"Maybe... Gnolls are just that poor. Right, A Tang?"

...!
