Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 229: Chapter 189: The Failed Plagiarist_2

He never anticipated that opening the gourmet area would lead to such a disaster in Spring Sun City, a seemingly ordinary approach indirectly destroyed the economy of another distant city.

Perhaps this is called dimensionality reduction attack?

The population outflow naturally meant fewer people entering Cangyin Dungeon, if the Dungeon had a consciousness, it must be freaking out, no wonder there was a mutation.

While shopping for supplies, they saw several adventurers chatting, who all looked quite in a sorry state.

"How did Cangyin Dungeon suddenly turn into that ghostly appearance... I walked for half a day and didn’t find a Tree Fairy, today’s commission is probably doomed."

"Still thinking about commissions? It’s time to run for it, the people going in were already decreasing, and now it has become even more dangerous."

"How about going to the neighboring Sain, my brother made a fortune there by picking ingredients."

"Really?"

"Really, this new dagger was a gift he bought me, it wasn’t cheap."

"Let’s go, let’s check out Sain!"

In the midst of the conversation, clients of Cangyin Dungeon were lost again, leaving the New Strategy Group in silence.

"Boss, let me ask you something, there has been a mutation in Cangyin Dungeon recently, how dangerous is it?" Berto chatted up casually.

"Ha," the boss scoffed with disdain "If the Dungeon were a shop, Cangyin would be close to death."

As there were fewer and fewer people visiting, the boss eagerly found someone to talk to and rattled on about his troubles.

"I don’t know what’s going on, they added a ton of dung inside, it’s disgusting, everyone actually liked the original scenery."

"People used to go in for the fluid from the Tree Fairies, but now the Tree Fairies are almost impossible to catch, instead, there are a bunch of poisonous giant toads... who wants that?"

"The terrain has also become a total mess, there’s a door that only opens if you cut down three big vines, isn’t this ridiculous!"

Luckily, the group gathered quite a bit of intelligence thanks to the shop owner’s complaints.

"It’s almost the same as what Earl provided." Luluwo stood in front of the Teleportation Gate to Cangyin Dungeon and said, "It’s become more dangerous, more disgusting, and stingier."

The area in front of the Teleportation Gate was sparsely populated, with no need to queue, which was an uncomfortable change for those accustomed to queuing at Sain Dungeon.

"Let’s go, let’s see what this is all about."

Passing through the Teleportation Gate, when the sensation of weightlessness from the teleportation gradually faded, a foul stench drilled into everyone’s nostrils.

This feeling was all too familiar, it was just like Fran Fort.

What appeared before everyone was a boundless "swamp," filled entirely with juice from decaying leaves. Although it looked similar, it somehow lacked the visual impact of the genuine sewage flowing in Fran Fort.

And...

"It doesn’t smell."

Luluwo took a deep breath, revealing a puzzled expression, then took another deep breath, and finally nodded, stating seriously, "Indeed, it doesn’t stink."

"It stinks though, not as much as Sain," Berto also sniffed, commenting, "Captain, you’ve been assimilated by Sain."

Luluwo was noncommittal, looking out over the swamp, which had three abrupt hills, each topped with huge vines.

And in the distance was a valley, with the path leading into the valley entwined by thick vines.

"Same as the information, to unlock the way into the valley, you need to cut down three vines, and inside the valley is the original Cangyin scene."

This was essentially like Cangyin Dungeon adding an entrance test on top of the original base, passing

this unusual "Wolf Blood Trial" to experience the content from the past.

"..."

The design full of flaws.

More than half of the people entering Cangyin Dungeon were workers, and the Tree Fairies were not strong in combat, so ordinary people could handle it with a team.

But now with increased difficulty, the number of Tree Fairies has also decreased, passing through a swamp composed of rotting leaves to return to the original map was practically discouraging.

With difficulty increased, the rewards should have been elevated as well—unless the City Lord here cannot offer better rewards.

Watching the scene in front of her, Luluwo was reminded of the first time she entered Sain Dungeon, feeling quite nostalgic.

Normally, they would endure the foul smell and hidden Monsters in the swamp, cut through the vines with great difficulty and enter the valley.

But Luluwo now just wanted to do something different.

Underneath her cape, chains extended, wrapping around her companions and lifting them one by one, with four remaining chains acting as her legs, allowing her to advance without touching the stinky water, much like Octopus Doctor.

The lurking Monsters in the swamp were stunned; these Monsters were all related to plants and were not strong, they couldn’t even hit the New Strategy Group suspended in the air.

The chains, like a meat grinder, killed any Monsters that showed their heads, Luluwo didn’t need to go near the vines, just had to let Asam use Flame Magic from a distance to burn them.

It was evident that Cangyin Dungeon used fairly sturdy vines, but unfortunately, they were not impressive enough facing Silver Rank adventurers.

In a matter of minutes, all three vines were destroyed, opening the path to the valley.

During this period, Luluwo encountered quite a few dejà vu-filled traps.

"Do you think... those giant toads could be imitating Curse Frogs?"
