Dung Clump, Living Pot Contents

Behind the door was an empty room.

It was a truly empty house, with nothing but dust. If a thief came, even dropping a hair here would be considered charity.

This might be where the Warrior Pot was used to confuse the invaders, but unfortunately, the invaders today are quite skilled.

The members of the New Strategy Team actually smiled when they saw the empty room.

Ordinary people might turn around and leave, but they are different. Knowing all the information that has been unearthed in the Zane Dungeon, they know that there is something called the "invisible door" here.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, there should also be a hidden door in this room.

Bei Er Tuo's figure flashed quickly through the room, tapping various places with a stone he picked up from the ground.

Accompanied by an eerie sound effect, a hidden door appeared in the wall, and the silent tomb came into view.

"Forward, gentlemen, now comes the time for the harvest."

Lu Lu Wo casually tossed her cloak, knowing from past experience that there must be treasure in this hidden area ahead.

Although the traps and monsters in the Zane Dungeon are disgusting, it is never stingy with rewards, at least not after the second mutation.

As long as you can overcome all the obstacles and reach the final checkpoint, you will definitely receive a reward commensurate with your efforts. It is for this reason that Lu Lu Wo has a very high opinion of this place, much higher than other dungeons.

She was even planning to cast her vote for Sain in the annual "Most Popular Dungeon" poll.

Unfortunately, she didn't know one thing—

To obtain some rewards, you need to make the right choices from the very beginning.

The grave was silent, with sparse yellow flowers drooping their heads. There was no living creature inside. In the corner, there were piles of pots of various sizes and strange shapes, which looked exactly like the Warrior Pot from before.

Bei Er Tuo flicked a pebble, leaving a shallow crack on the surface of one of the large jugs, which did not react.

He then tested the other large pots in the same way, and they were all the same, so he nodded and said, "Safe."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Lu Wo glanced at the small hidden area and finally found the treasure chest in a place surrounded by large pots.

She snapped her fingers and smiled slightly. The twins stayed behind to guard against any unexpected crisis, while the rest of the people followed her to the treasure chest.

If he crouched down to open the treasure chest, he would get his cloak dirty, so Bei Er Tuo did it for him. After opening the treasure chest, he held it up with both hands and presented it to Lu Lu Wo.

The two men were behaving as if they were imitating servants and nobles.

"It's happening again," Mi La muttered under her breath, turning her head away.

Our captain is great in every way, but unfortunately he's so obsessed with drama that he can't break free and tries to imitate the mannerisms of nobles every day.

Looking at the purple light in the treasure chest, Lu Lu Wo hard to restrain herself but couldn't hide her smile. She reached in with both hands and solemnly picked up the light.

If it weren't for her low level of education, she would have liked to compose a poem on the spot to praise the treasure.

A scent emanated from the light, accompanied by a sticky feel. She thought to herself, "This treasure is truly something else; even the texture is amazing."

"Um?"

Lu Lu Wo suddenly sensed something was wrong, and when she finally saw what she was holding, her face turned deathly pale.

[Poop block]

The excrement of an unknown creature, filled with a strong sense of irony, may be raw material for making some kind of prop; any normal person would discard it.

However, for those who indiscriminately slaughter innocent people, the appearance of excrement signifies the imminent arrival of a feast.

Lying quietly in her fair palm was something that absolutely could not be described in detail while eating!

Her delicate body trembled. A normal person would have looked disgusted or furious at this moment, but two crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

"Captain, throw it away!" Mi La's shout made the twins come closer, wanting to see what was in the treasure chest.

When the two entered a certain area—

"Click-clack!"

Something seems to be breaking apart?

The next second, the large pots surrounding the New Strategy Team suddenly shattered!

"Ah!!!"

The moment the large pot shattered, a scream so intense it seemed to pierce the ears rang out, instantly shattering the tranquility of the tomb!

"Ah!"

Mi La covered her ears and crouched down, her expression one of extreme pain from the loud noise, as did the others!

This is not just a simple sound; it is a trap that can exert temporary control over a person's body!

This wasn't just the roar of the monster that appeared after the pot shattered; it also included some other miscellaneous sounds, such as the roar of the Lion Ape.

This causes the loud noise to slowly accumulate into a terror status bar, which temporarily controls the minds and bodies of the adventurers present!

Only Lu Lu Wo was able to withstand the loud noise, perhaps because of her Bat Bloodline. Amidst the chaos, she managed to see what kind of creature was making the noise.

The moment she saw it clearly, she almost threw up.

What a blasphemous sight it was! Twisted, rotten flesh was forcibly squeezed together and shaped inside the pot. The flesh was even wriggling and making disgusting "gurgling" sounds.

But what is most physically disturbing is that there is actually a fully formed human being among all this flesh and blood.

No, can this still be called human? Her body has completely merged with the ball of flesh; she looks like a twisted monster!

Their name is—[The Living Pot Contents]!

Lu Lu Wo has seen stranger monsters, but this is the first time she has ever seen one that is so physically disturbing. Compared to this, even the Curse Frog is quite cute.

She took a few steps back, but stopped when she saw the suffering team members. Suddenly, she opened her cloak, and several iron chains emerged like snakes, attacking the Living Pot Contents!

The next second, Lu Lu Wo witnessed a sight she would never forget.

The Living Pot Contents suddenly twisted and opened a wide mouth!

And this huge "tongue" grabbed her body with lightning speed!

"Ah!"

In the blink of an eye, she was forcibly dragged inside. The living pot's body was still wriggling, as if it were chewing.

Wow, it's a pill/swallow!

"Team leader!"

The moment the loud noise finally subsided, Bei Er Tuo lunged at the Living Pot Contents that was holding Lu Lu Wo captive, and the rest of the team also fought back!

The loud noise had affected their bodies, making them a little weak, but dealing with a few monsters was still no problem.

But just then, a strange sound came from not far away.

Everyone whirled around and saw it was Warrior Pot! Three large Warrior Pot charged toward them at high speed, spinning rapidly!

The Living Pot Contents surrounded the group, and if the Warrior Pot charged forward, it meant...

They are about to be embraced by happiness!

Bei Er Tuo and Mi La both looked horrified, while Aisi and Aimu blushed strangely.

"Bang!"

Fireworks filled the sky—no, they filled the sky with blood and flesh.

The graveyard quickly returned to calm, with only the Living Pot Contents that had swallowed Lu Lu Wo chewing away.

At first Lu Lu Wo would resist, but after her companions' voices disappeared, she became still.

When all was quiet, a few Little Pot crawled out of the hidden grave and started punching and kicking the New Strategy Team.

The Living Pot Contents both the Warrior Pot and the Living Pot fell into a deep slumber after the crisis was over.

They shouldn't even exist if the Warrior Pot Carl hadn't been killed, triggering the penalty mechanism.

Moreover, those who appeared here were all enhanced versions.

Not long after.

One by one, the members of the New Strategy Team revived at the campfire.

"Captain!" Bei Er Tuo went to find the captain as soon as he was resurrected, and then he saw Lu Lu Wo squatting by the campfire with her back to him.

"Team leader?"

Bei Er Tuo cautiously approached, and the other woman trembled, quickly wiping her face twice. When she stood up and turned around, she had regained her previous calm and confident demeanor.

"Oh, Bei Er Tuo, you have finally returned to my side from the brink of death. Let us wait a moment, for the moment our comrades gather will be the time for revenge!"

Lu Lu Wo chuckled, looking quite spirited.

About half an hour later, the New Strategy Team arrived at the gate leading to the Pot Cemetery.

But Lu Lu Wo's smile was a little stiff, and she hesitated to go in.

She tried to wave several times, but stopped herself as soon as she raised her hand.

"Captain, let's leave this place alone. Time is precious, and we can't afford to waste it on areas that are no longer of value," Bei Er Tuo said promptly.

"Yes, that's right, that's exactly it!"

Having finally found a way to go down, Lu Lu Wo felt relieved and turned to leave.

"We wouldn't mind doing it again," Aisi and Aimu said in unison, but Mi La pinched their mouths before they could finish.

The road ends at the Death Knight, whom they have already defeated once.

The information that defeating three Elite Monsters would weaken the Death Rite Bird was leaked by them, which means that the New Strategy Team has challenged at least these four bosses and won against all of them except for the Death Rite Bird.

They certainly have the ability to rival Leon for the honor of the Strategy Team.

The only drawback was that, in their pursuit of speed, they neglected to explore the map carefully and basically went straight to the BOSS room.

They had never triggered the Warrior Pot [Event] before; this was the first time they had encountered it.

Realizing this problem, they made a painful decision to improve the details of the graveyard area while challenging Elite Monsters to weaken the Death Rite Bird.

The first clear of the Death Rite Bird is a great honor, and if they could create a detailed guide to the graveyard area in addition to the first clear, their reputation would be even greater!

Continue forward, pass through the Fog Gate, defeat the Death Knight, and heal and rest.

The New Strategy Team, seeing the newly appeared path in the Grave Chamber, stepped into this dark and gloomy tunnel.

They had only entered this road once before, and hadn't even fully explored it yet. This time, they planned to see what lay at the end of the road.

They naturally saw the "Keep the Firelight" message, but the mage in the group Aisi, cast Light Spell, and a ball of light floated above each person's head, illuminating their vision.

Since they're both light, there shouldn't be any difference, right?

The last time they came in, they used Light Spell, and I didn't see anything wrong with it.

The only sounds in this deep and quiet tunnel were the footsteps of the group, and occasionally the sound of dripping water.

This kind of environment is perfect for deep, contemplative thinking.

Lu Lu Wo thought of Leon. At this moment, he must be being harassed by the invaders and has probably died several times already. It is impossible for him to continue exploring the dungeon.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but smile, feeling that she had made the right move.

Perhaps a fair and square duel with Leon wouldn't necessarily mean losing, but that always feels insecure.

Moreover, Lu Lu Wo learned one thing from birth—

People should try to take shortcuts.

Her philosophy of life is that if you can get something done by taking a shortcut, you don't need to expend too much effort.

Obtaining the first kill of Sion is a shortcut to her advancement, recruiting Soul Eaters to invade Leon is a shortcut, and the path she is currently taking may also be a shortcut.

She wants to seize every opportunity to climb higher and higher!

Just as Lu Lu Wo's inner storm was making her heart surge.

"Tick-tock!"

The sound of dripping water reached her ears, and she suddenly felt dazed. When she came to her senses, she found herself all alone.

Where are they?

The sudden change jolted her awake, and at the same time, she heard low, incoherent murmurs.

It was like the hoarse groan of a broken bellows mingling with the clamor of a noisy crowd, incredibly jarring.

But as she continued forward, the babbling became clearer and clearer, and finally, she heard a complete sentence.

"Our family has fallen on hard times."
