Dungeon Frenzy!?

The remnants of the demon clan!?

When he heard the news, Da Er almost lost control of himself.

In that instant, Doslai Bo's face appeared in his mind, followed by scenes of the ferocious demons, the twisted City of Flesh, and his burning homeland.

"When was it discovered? How large is it? Have there been any casualties?" A series of questions quickly came out of his mouth.

"Calm down. I only learned about this two days ago. Only a few travelers were attacked, and there have been no reports of further casualties so far."

Ka Rong said, "I have sent people to track down the demons, but these guys are cunning. It will take some time, at least a week, to truly pinpoint them."

"A week. Too slow." Da Er frowned, wanting to Execute the demons as soon as possible, but he couldn't find a faster way to find them.

In a battle of the scale of the Battle of Val City, it wouldn't be surprising if demons took advantage of the chaos to escape.

It's more surprising that they managed to keep their tracks hidden until now, only to have them discovered later.

"Whether the Farron Guard chooses to cooperate with the Bede Family or not, I will inform you as soon as there are any new developments in the news about the demons. The Bede Family will also provide assistance in the extermination operation," Ka Rong said sincerely. "How about that? This is my sincerity."

Da Er calmed down a bit and said, "Thank you, Earl Excellency, but I need to consult everyone on this matter. I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now."

So far, Ka Rong's qualities, both in terms of sincerity and methods, have not aroused any resentment but rather given people a comfortable feeling.

He certainly performed much better than Count Philip, and working with someone like him might not be a bad idea.

But Da Er could not make the judgment on his own; he had to consult with the members of the Farron Guard.

"It's alright," Ka Rong said with a gentle smile. "I'm confident we can find a way to cooperate that we can both accept."

Although the news from the demons brought anxiety, the atmosphere in the workshop was somewhat relaxed due to the pleasant conversation between the two sides.

Lu Lu Wo looked thoughtfully at Da Er, who had suddenly become anxious, and then at Ka Rong, who was trying to calm him down.

The Bede Family wanted to promote the training of Farron Guard, and coincidentally, traces of demons appeared at that time.

Am I overthinking this? This whole thing seems too coincidental.

She popped another berry into her mouth, this time being careful not to spray it all over Ka Rong's face.

Anyway, what am I here for? I don't think they've spoken to me at all the time?

"Miss Lu Lu Wo." Just as Da Er was lost in thought, Ka Rong finally turned the conversation to her.

"Hmm?" Lu Lu Wo blinked her ruby-like eyes and quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth. "Please speak."

"I heard that you and your team have recently been working on a guide called 'Speedrun Route' and have achieved some great success."

"Yes, yes."

"From what I've observed, your guides contain routes to various areas and analysis of battles against Elite Monsters. This is invaluable for new adventurers. Many adventurers who left due to insufficient strength have recently returned, and you deserve much credit for that."

At this moment, one should humbly and elegantly express respect for such praise; this is how nobles in plays always act. If it were the old Lu Lu Wo, she would probably stand up and bow, and might even lift her non-existent skirt.

But after the fear-inducing tone of the Lion Ape, she, who had undergone a certain mental transformation, simply smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"But I noticed that the guide seems to be missing a certain part," Ka Rong said. "It seems to be missing the guide for the boss monsters in each area."

Lu Lu Wo thought to herself, "Isn't what you're saying obvious? So far, apart from the Death Rite Bird, which other area bosses have been defeated?"

Perhaps Jia Paer secretly cleared the level, but if he doesn't say anything, no one can find out.

Ka Rong, ignoring the change in the other's expression, said, "I want to help you develop a strategy for targeting regional leaders. All you need to do is add the Bede Family's name to the end of the strategy. How about that?"

"Okay, okay." Lu Lu Wo has always been open to any help she can get; it's just a matter of adding her name.

Ka Rong's smile grew even more genuine. "Then, should we put the strategy for defeating the Farron Undead Legion on the agenda? If the Farron Guard can defeat the Undead Legion, it will be great publicity material."

"You don't need to worry about that. I've been preparing for this for a while now," Lu Lu Wo waved her hand. "After all, I'm also an ally of Da Er and the others."

"Then I'm relieved. If we're short-handed, the experts from the Bede Family can be of great help. Trust me, they're highly professional."

The meeting was a pleasant one for both the host and guests; Ka Rong and Lu Lu Wo were both very happy, while Da Er was frowning because of the news about the demons.

The Earl asked the two to pick a few things from the workshop as gifts. Lu Lu Wo excitedly took the Warrior Pot Tent, while Da Er picked out three miniature wooden Farron Greatsword.

Among the personnel serving as the logistics support for the Farron Guard are three children. These can be used as gifts. They keep asking to practice swordsmanship, but they are too young to even lift a real sword.

Before leaving, Ka Rong suddenly called out to Lu Lu Wo. Just as Ka Rong suddenly circled a place on the map.

"This is?"

Lu Lu Wo looked at him in confusion. The circled area was a city called Spring Sun City, and the distance between it and Bede City was equivalent to traveling between Val and Bed three times.

This city is quite far away, and it is much smaller than Bede City. Its lord is only a viscount.

If there's anything noteworthy about that place, it's an underground city.

Verdant Dungeon is a dungeon with a forest theme. Its unique feature is an Elite Monsters called "Green Tree Sprite," whose sap can accelerate vegetable growth, which is quite useful for agriculture. However, some magic can also achieve the same ripening effect.

As for monsters, weapons, equipment, treasures, etc., the place is only at the level of a typical dungeon, lacking any unique features, and barely useful.

Therefore, this dungeon was only a small-scale dungeon with little influence, and it was completely overshadowed by Sion on the colored map.

I wonder what the lord of this underground city thinks. Oh, maybe he doesn't even have the qualifications to open the world map.

"If you're stuck on your strategy for the Farron Undead Legion, you can check out this Verdant Dungeon," Ka Rong said. "If you'd like to go, contact me. I can lend you my only manned griffin; it's a short distance."

"Uh, thank you, so why should I go there?" Lu Lu Wo still didn't understand.

"Because something strange has recently happened there, and there are rumors that..."

Ka Rong paused, then said mysteriously:

"It is said that the anomalies there are very similar to those of Sain, and you can see Sain's shadow in many places. If you can make a strategy guide for that place first, your reputation may be even greater."

"Huh?" Lu Lu Wo blinked. "There were Curse Frog and Crucible Knight in there too?"

"No, the monsters haven't changed at all, which is actually a good thing."

Ka Rong shook his head and said:

"The shadows of Sion I was referring to were the terrain and some of the traps, which were so similar that it was almost like an imitation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lu Wo showed an interested expression.

"Is that so? I have to go and see!"

After Da Er and Lu Lu Wo had left, Ka Rong clapped his hands, and suddenly the lid of another Warrior Pot's tent piled in the corner popped open, and a big man crawled out.

It was the Bull Horn Helmet mercenary who defeated the City of Flesh in the Battle of Val City.

"How did it go? How strong was that Farron Guard?"

The mercenary said, "Yes, you're qualified."

"Then I'm relieved." Ka Rong's smile vanished, replaced by seriousness. "Are you sure what I'm doing won't invite retaliation?"

"No, don't worry." The mercenary watched the two figures disappear into the distance. "I'll take care of everything."

"Oh well."

Ka Rong leaned back, looked at the stained glass painting of the Curse Frog on the ceiling, and said:

"Sometimes when I'm sleeping, I'm really afraid that your people will start a massacre in the city."

The mercenary frowned. "My men are all highly intelligent, unlike ordinary people who can't control themselves. Take back what you said."

"Okay, okay, I take it back."

Ka Rong sighed helplessly and muttered to himself:

"If my cooperation with you is exposed, the King might even award me a medal, at the very least the Order of the Kingdom. Haha, I can't believe there's someone as strange as you in this world."

Meanwhile, Da Er walked back to the farm with a heavy heart.

The fact that some of Doslai Bo's demon subordinates are still alive is undoubtedly bad news; they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, another problem arises.

With the current strength of the Farron Guard, is there really any hope of fighting against the demons?

Da Er didn't have high hopes for this. Everyone was still in the training stage, and there were only about ten people who could be considered to have real combat power. Among them, Wesker and Klan, who had the highest combat power, could only be described as "promising in the future".

Although the upgrade of the campfire allowed everyone to quickly increase their basic strength, or stats, combat experience and skills still require a lot of time to practice.

There's no way to achieve this quickly, unless...

Da Er suddenly thought of the Painting World. When he was trapped in it, he was almost in despair. He died and came back to life repeatedly, and he couldn't get out until he cleared the level.

Correspondingly, his experience in dealing with traps increased rapidly at that time, which undoubtedly greatly improved his skills.

Unfortunately, that Painting World is too dangerous for the current members of the Farron Guard to train in.

If there were a Painting World with a lower level of danger, where these people could cultivate, that would be a good way to quickly improve their strength.

By the way, so far people have only discovered one painting of the Wolf Knight. Will there be any others in the future?

Thinking this, he returned to the farm and saw several children watching the adults train with longing eyes.

Da Er smiled and gave them the replica of the Farron Greatsword, which naturally earned him cheers from the children and attracted the attention of others.

"Great, my brother is finally back."

People looked excited when they saw Da Er, as if they had something good to share.

"What's wrong?" Da Er asked.

"Big brother, look here!" Wesker suddenly pulled out a scroll and unfurled it in front of Da Er, saying proudly, "Klan and I got this while hunting!"

Klan pushed up his non-existent glasses and said in a feignedly modest but secretly flirtatious manner, "It's a new Painting World."

A new Painting World?

Da Er quickly took it; this time it wasn't Painting Fragment, but a whole sheet!
