Chapter 372: After modification: Chapter 273 Scheme, Counter-Scheme_2

"Don’t touch that wooden suspension bridge lightly. What’s everyone’s weight? Use the Mage’s Hand to carry equivalent heavy objects onto it to test if it can bear the weight."

The magician just stacked a few coffins onto the bridge when it snapped with a crack, plunging straight into the bottomless abyss.

Seeing this, everyone quickly activated "praise mode," showering Kent with compliments. The latter was quite pleased, and with high morale, the group moved forward.

The structure of the underground cemetery was repetitive, with highly similar scenes everywhere, making people dizzy after wandering for a long time.

Along their exploration route, they encountered several waves of monster attacks, a trapdoor, ground fractures, mist, and multiple branching paths.

Even Aston felt dizzy, but when he turned around, he saw Kent jotting down notes and drawing. Approaching closer, he realized Kent had mapped out all the routes they had taken so far, including small distinctive details.

He looked energetic and unaffected.

Aston could only repeatedly express his admiration, recognizing that Kent was truly a master.

Even Luluwo probably didn’t have this level of spatial memory ability, which was both a talent and the result of practice.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they found their first purple light point.

[Casas Milky White Ring · Ordinary]

[A ring worn by the Casas warriors of Gravel Country, slightly increasing body agility]

[Casas swordsmanship can freely control curved blades, their movements as light as dust in the wind. They swept through many countries with the Overlord Vonier]

"Here you go." Kent tossed the ring to Aston, who looked at it and gave it to a subordinate.

"It’s the first time I’ve seen a dungeon that provides a background introduction for items, and even created a manual for it. Quite unique."

Kenta flipped through a hunting manual bought from other adventurers. The information about the ring had already appeared on it. Although the contents were highly fragmented, they were weakly connected, making it addictive to read.

"From various details, it’s obvious that the ancient country buried in this cemetery was unprecedentedly strong... and brutal."

He flipped through the manual, and the magic Chapters recorded the spells used by the enemies encountered by the manual’s owner.

[Sorcery: Acid Spray]

[Casas’s unique sorcery, capable of spraying acid to damage equipment]

[The competitive Casas warriors sought victory even with the aid of sorcery, but seeing the horrific deaths, what honor did their actions hold?]

Just these two entries vividly depicted the Casas people’s warlike, murderous, and cruel nature.

Kent frowned. As people age, they yearn for peace, so his impression of Casas was naturally poor.

The mercenaries’ reactions varied, with some frowning, some indifferent, and others admiring.

As for Aston, he looked even more admiring.

What exactly would the Light Eagle Group think of the so-called Overlord?

The exploration continued, and the deeper they went, the more dangerous the traps and monsters became.

After once again successfully leading the mercenaries in avoiding danger, Kent naturally received a wave of praise.

"As expected of a master, always thinking things through." Aston praised him heartily.

With his head held high, Kent suddenly pointed to a tombstone not far ahead and said, "Do you see that tombstone? Doesn’t it feel strange?"

Strange? Aston didn’t feel anything, but if the master said it was strange, then it must be strange. So he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that tombstone appeared too abruptly. Very strange!"

"Exactly, based on my experience, there’s definitely a strong monster lying in ambush, and it will only be triggered when approached. You few, pour Holy Water over there, and the rest of you prepare Holy Light Magic, to preemptively catch the monster off guard!"

Thus, a group of people surrounded the suddenly appearing tombstone in the middle of the path, chanting and dancing, pouring Holy Water and Holy Light over it. The scene was as chaotic as a shamanic ritual.

"Very good, the monster has been eliminated!" Kent announced loudly, and everyone let out a cheer.

"...Are these people crazy?" In the City Lord’s room, Gong Qiying, who was spying on them, was speechless, because that tombstone was just an ordinary scene placed to attract attention with no monster hidden inside.

He had thought of Kent as a reclusive master, but now he suddenly felt that Kent might be an elder version of a cautious hero— a cautious old man?

However, Kent did guess one thing right: there was indeed something unusual about that tombstone.

Gong Qiying also revealed a mischievous smile.

Just as people were debating whether to dig up the tomb to see if there would be any light points from the supposedly dead powerful monster, a muffled sound resounded.

"Boom!"

When they came to their senses, a huge iron cage descended from above, centered on the tombstone, encompassing everyone— all twenty of them!

"..." People turned to look at Kent.

Kent’s smile stiffened for a moment before he coughed twice and said, "What an insidious dungeon, using the scenery to block our view of the ceiling!"

Yes, yes, whatever you say must be right.

Although skeptical, everyone still believed Kent and joined in cursing Sain Dungeon. Meanwhile, the sound of rattling bones arose as countless skeletons emerged from the ground— skeleton monsters!
