Chapter 151: Unusual Dungeon

Now that I had passed through the security, I was once again left to follow the pink slime through a confusing network of large mining tunnels, though thankfully there were signs that seemed to lead adventurers towards the dungeon, which is where I seemed to be headed as well.

I was curious as to why I was being led to a dungeon, or even what this slime wanted from me in the first place. I knew it wanted me to follow it, but to where? And for what purpose? I didn’t know but I was curious to find out.

The slime continued to lead me down deeper into the mountain, still following the trail of signs that pointed towards either the exit of the tunnels, or the entrance of the dungeon.

Eventually we reached the entrance to the dungeon which was marked with a giant sign that said so. The entrance itself looked like it didn’t belong here. The dungeon looked like it was just placed here in the middle of the stone, the jagged walls of the mine a stark contrast the uniform form of the dungeons inner walls that seemed to also be made of stone.

Sure it was made of rocks as well, but the rocks seemed different somehow, they seemed softer, which isn’t all that surprising all things considered, but they also seemed wetter, which was the weird part. Rocks aren’t supposed to be wet, and this wetness seemed off.

There weren’t any leakages that I could see that would cause the dungeon to be soaking wet from a lake or something, no, this seemed almost natural. The wetness of the dungeon seemed similar to the consistency of the mucus left behind by the slime, maybe a bit runnier and stickier.

The slime continued and headed into the dungeon. I was bit scared to follow behind as I wasn’t sure what I would encounter in this dungeon, or if this whole thing was a trap. Still, I felt like I should continue following this slime as I could feel that it was leading me somewhere, and I would regret it if I didn’t follow.

I slithered through the entryway of the dungeon and felt myself passing into a different space, the air a bit heavier and my surroundings soaked in this sticky substance.

These tunnels had a flat floor and an arching roof above with the walls perfectly perpendicular to the floor. There was about enough space for another two of me to be side by side before it got too crowded.

I could feel the slimy substance that coated the ceiling, walls and the floor start to cover me, whether it was because I was travelling across it, scraped the walls with my arms, or it just dripped onto me from above.

I didn’t bother cleaning it off until it got to the point where it was inconveniencing me as I knew it would just accumulate again.

By this point we had been travelling for about an hour or two inside the dungeon when we finally came across some adventurer’s coming out of the side of a cross section in the path.

They looked at me and the slime with intrigue. Their party was made up of a male swordsman and shields man, a female cat-kin rogue and a female human archer.

"Yo." The swordsman greeted with a simple greeting.

"Hi." I replied meekly, still conscientious about my broken voice.

"You here to have some fun as well?" He asked.

"Fun?" I asked back raspily.

"Yeah, this is a sex dungeon. Did you not know that?"

I shook my head in response, not expecting such a thing to exist.

"Oh, not from round these parts. Then again, this is still a relatively new dungeon." He rambled. "Well, just be careful not to die, the monsters here have a tendency to rape and devour dead bodies."

"Thanks for the heads up." I thanked him and continued to follow the slime straight ahead while they went and continued heading in straight in their own direction.

I was expecting to encounter some monster after that but it was clear the whole way. I eventually stopped paying attention much was a bad idea as I accidentally activated a trap.

*Click*

Then suddenly, two stone brick walls were erected both in front of and behind me. Then a pink gas started to fill the room.

...

I waited for something to happen but it didn’t seem like anything would happen. I sniffed the gas that had filled the room by now and found that it was supposed to act as an aphrodisiac.

’That’s some weak ass aphrodisiac.’ I thought as the potency of this stuff wasn’t even enough to make me recognise it until I actually tried to figure out what it was, nor did it affect me at all.

It didn’t seem like the walls were going to come down any time soon so I decided to try and get out with brute force.

I went up to the wall that led down the path I was heading and placed my right hand on it whilst cocking my left hand back. Taking a deep breathe I prepared to punch at the wall with all my might.

*BANG*

Although it didn’t budge much, I could feel that the bricks had become slightly dislocated, so with my left hand open against the wall, I proceeded to repeat my punching until the wall crumbled down.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Soon a few stone fragments fell to the slimy floor. My punches quickly gained a greater pace and ferocity as I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. I wasn’t in danger or anything, I just didn’t want to sit here for hours on end with nothing to do.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

I could see cracks visibly forming in the wall now, indicating that the wall was close to collapsing. ’Just a few more punches.’ I thought as I prepared another strike.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

And with that last punch, the wall crumbled. Fragmented bricks fell from above and I had to back away to avoid being hit by them. The wall soon turned into a pile of rubble which I climbed over to continue following the slime, but when I crested the rubble, there were now two pink slimes instead of one.

And as soon as I landed on the floor once more the two of them started to move once more without regards for me. I sighed as I resigned myself to follow them as going back now would mean I’ve wasted my time, plus I’d have to break down another wall and I didn’t want to go through that again.

I reluctantly followed behind the two slimes, still wondering where they would lead me to in these seemingly unending tunnels.

A few hours passed and we finally stumbled across something interesting. Yes, we’d met a couple more adventuring partyies, but I didn’t interact with them all that much. But finally, we’d stumbled across a hidden room.

The slimes seemed to want to keep on going, but I was bored and wanted to explore a little bit more, so when we came across this hidden room, I went in without a second thought.

It was a relatively small room that was covered in a slimy mucus substance like the rest of the dungeon. At the opposite end of the room there was a small pedestool, with a small wooden chest with golden lining, roughly the size of my head on top.

I could tell that this was a trap so I proceeded to move towards the chest with caution, careful not to trigger any traps that may be hidden in here.

Suspiciously enough, there weren’t any traps along the way, so I had a sneaking suspicion that the chest itself was trapped. Before I opened it, I looked back and saw the slimes waiting outside the room. I found that a bit weird but pushing it aside thinking they just wanted me to follow them and were waiting for me to come back out.

I turned back to the chest in front of me, my heart racing in anticipation, even if it was a trap, something exciting should come of it.

I place my hands on the sides of the chest, bringing my left hand over to the latch on the front. I unlatched the chest, allowing it to open, and so slowly, I lifted the lid with my right hand, leaning my head back as I did so in case of any sort of explosion trap in my face.

There was a sparkling pink glow that emanated from the chest as I opened it. I was prepared to jump away if I was attacked but such a thing never happened.

All that happened was a small, singular light pink tentacle wiggled its way out of the chest.

*WHAM*

I quickly turned back to see that the entrance to the room had closed, leaving me stuck inside a closed room once again.

"UUUGGGHHH!" I groaned as I didn’t want to be stuck again.

I considered just punching my way out once more, but then I had a thought. ’That first party I met said that this is a sex dungeon, right? Then that means that sex might be the answer to escaping this trap.’

I turned back to the tentacle in the chest, wondering how I should deal with this. With no other options I reached out to the tentacle with my left hand. When I got close enough, it suddenly jerked over to touch me, sending a shock through my fingers.

"Ow!" I yelled in mild pain as I shook my hand. But when I looked back at the tentacle with a frown, that frown quickly disappeared and turned into disbelief.

In front of me, poking out of the chest, was no longer a small thin tentacle, but an exact copy of my penis.
