Chapter 363: Chapter 267 Initial Exploration of Casas_2

"I’ll go after him!" An apprentice scout immediately volunteered to chase forward upon seeing this, the skeleton creature was quite nimble, every time he was about to catch up, the distance would be pulled apart.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Berto’s eyelid twitched, thinking this was the simplest lure tactic?

Where did the captain find this kind of apprentice, his brain is too dull!

The apprentice chased the skeleton monster into the corner, then there was no sound.

"... Go over and find him."

When people ran over, they turned around and saw a corridor at the corner, and the ground was covered with bone dust, where did the apprentice go?

"Gululung——"

The sound of a huge object rolling came, everyone retreated based on their feeling, only to see a ball made up of countless skeletons rolling rapidly in the corridor, if this hits, it would be crushed into mud.

Could the apprentice have been crushed to death? But there was no red blood on the ground.

Almost when this thought occurred to Berto, the wall next to him suddenly moved.

No, it wasn’t the wall moving, but someone somehow camouflaged himself with the wall color like a chameleon, it’s the apprentice who ran away!

"Mila senior, give me a hand!"

He suddenly pulled up a sturdy iron net, which perfectly blocked the skeleton ball in front, Mila understood, grabbed the iron net, her small figure bursting with great strength!

"Bang——"

The skeleton ball crashed into the iron net, it was still advancing, its body rubbing against the iron net sending out sparks, the apprentice quickly took out a bottle of high-concentration Holy Light Water and splashed it on the skeleton ball, then swiftly added a few more stabs.

After a scream, the skeleton ball disintegrated into ashes, leaving a light point on the spot. Upon picking it up, it was the long-lost [Enemy Attraction Skull] and the almost-daily-seen [Forging Stone].

"You..." Berto frowned, not understanding what the apprentice was doing.

"Berto senior, how did I do?" The apprentice looked like a young lad, his face glowing with the innocence of a countryside boy.

He seemed like the type who yearned for an adventurous life and left home, usually carrying the village’s best sword and amulet, along with an optimistic and upbeat character.

Looking at the young lad eagerly seeking praise, Berto thought for a moment before asking, "You pretended to be attracted by the skeleton monster, but actually, you triggered the trap in advance?"

The apprentice nodded faster than a pecking chicken, his breathing became heavier due to excitement, finally, someone understood him.

Sain Dungeon’s traps have a characteristic – they only activate at the best moment.

What is the best moment? Just like earlier, according to the original setting, only when the adventurers were attracted by the skeleton monster into the corridor, or when adventurers went deep into the corridor, would the skeleton ball rolling be triggered, if the conditions were not met, such traps would not be activated.

This is to avoid alarming the snakes and to maximize the surprise brought by the traps, so as to gather a large amount of spiritual power emitted by adventurers at the climax.

It can be said that each design in Sain Dungeon is not useless.

And the apprentice in front of them clearly discovered this characteristic and used it in actual combat, the moment he ran down the corridor chasing the skeleton monster, he immediately ran out, brushing past the skeleton ball!

He betted right, indeed the fleeing skeleton would trigger the trap in advance!

Setting up the iron net to block the skeleton ball, preparing the Holy Light Water to eliminate undead creatures were all his immediate reactions upon seeing the trap.

This kind of excellent reaction speed...

"You’re quite smart." Berto looked at him with eyes that suddenly became much kinder, such excellent talent is really appealing.

This young man, the Skyrim Strategy Group must recruit him!

"What’s your name?" Berto pushed his glasses, ashamed to say, since he wasn’t in charge of apprentices in the group, he couldn’t call out the names of the apprentices present.

"Tami, my name is Tami," the boy showed a sunny smile, "I come from Taqi Village, my dream is to succeed!"

Berto smiled, patted the boy’s shoulder, and praised, "Work hard, keep showing your smartness, follow us and you’ll eventually realize your dream."

"Yes!"

Tami exclaimed energetically, secretly pleased that he had figured out the rules of Sain Dungeon.

It seems I’ve thoroughly understood this dungeon, next it’s time to shine brightly, watch me clear the new area in one day!

Moments later.

"Where is this!?"

Tami was alone in a dark and unfamiliar tomb, his eyes dull.

"What’s going on, I clearly followed the rules..."

Just now, he discovered another fleeing skeleton monster, intending to repeat the trick to follow it and trigger the trap in advance, but a moment of dizziness, he ended up here.

Thinking about it now, did he step on a teleportation trap? Doesn’t make sense, my unique talent [Danger Perception] didn’t react, if there was a trap I should have known in advance.

He couldn’t fathom it, but no matter how he thought, it’s an undeniable fact that he’s separated from everyone in the Skyrim Strategy Group.

"This is bad, now my impression in the seniors’ minds will drop!" He yelled frantically.

Anyone trying to exploit the rules of Sain will eventually be exploited.

Tami wandered about the cemetery, each step cautious, afraid of encountering horrifying monsters.

Just then, he suddenly kicked something, picked it up and saw it was an empty bottle, with a bit of potion left inside.

"Smells like Healing Potion, clearly just opened." He showed a puzzled look, "But the team didn’t purchase this type of potion."

This kind of Healing Potion is very potent, the therapeutic effect is good but often leaves some side effects needing time to recuperate.

Usually, only those living on the edge of life and death, fighting for every second, like mercenaries or assassins, would use this potion.

Couldn’t there be strangers following us here?

A creepy feeling emerged in Tami’s heart, he couldn’t help but clutch the Teleportation Crystal in his chest, feeling insecure to keep in his pocket, he simply swallowed it.

Encountering unknown strangers in the dungeon is more alerting than encountering monsters.

"I must quickly find everyone and tell them about this."

Tami moved forward in the dark based on his feelings, but suddenly the path ahead was blocked by something.

It was a pile of jars that looked fragile, precisely blocking the way, next to the jars was a stone tablet.

He didn’t recognize the words on the stone tablet, but the lighting Magic Rune kindly translated them into readable text, he unknowingly read it aloud.

"The traditional game of Casas citizens, jars contain sealed Casas warriors, attack magic and treasures, and empty jars, jars sealing Casas warriors will not have other warriors within a two-circle radius, jars sealing attack magic will certainly have treasures within a two-circle radius."

Tami was silent for a while.

"What the heck is this?"
