CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: THE KING OF THE FOREST

The sky was devoid of the sun or anything luminous; it’s bright like this to indicate it’s daytime.

In the forest, a shadow flitted between the branches.

Kane was swiftly hunting the magic beasts in the forest, without concern for the consumption of magic power.

He had known before that these magic beasts possessed survival intelligence, and unlike other dungeon monsters, they didn’t attack Kane directly but hid everywhere.

Kane discovered that many of them still maintained their original habits.

This indicated that the dungeon endowed them with simple instinctive wisdom, and perhaps also the ability to sense danger originally.

If a sufficient number isn’t hunted at once, when they react, they’ll start hiding everywhere.

The difficulty of this dungeon level probably lies in this spot.

As time passed, more and more magic beasts met their end at his hands.

Magic power reactions in the eagle eye vision also began to hide everywhere.

It seems they have reacted, and his magic power is also running low, and the Wind of the Light Spirit had long dissipated.

Looks like he needs to head back for a rest.

He ran toward the previously marked location.

In no time, Kane returned to Kreya and the others’ place.

At that moment, Kreya and the others had already dug traps and hidden them.

They rested there, among a cluster of closely standing trees.

Seeing Kane return, Kreya immediately went up to him.

"How is it, Kane, are you injured?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Kane sat down within the team and accepted the dry food Kreya handed over.

After all, being in the woods, it was inconvenient to light a fire, so dry food was the only option to quell hunger.

Longbei looked at Kane as he drank a bottle of blue potion and asked, "How was the harvest?"

Kane breathed out a sigh and said, "Not bad, killed nine magic beasts. The other beasts have sensed danger and are hiding now. The next part will probably take more time."

Rested for a while, waiting for the blue potion’s effects to complete.

Feeling the effects had almost worn off, his body regained most of its magic power.

Kane got up and was ready to find more magic beasts, asking Meizike to apply a Wind of the Light Spirit enhancement before leaving.

After a while of sprinting, a magic power reaction finally appeared in his sight.

Silently, he swung over; it turned out to be hidden inside a tree hollow. You hid well, but unfortunately, my eyes have something special.

Swiftly resolved, he then moved toward another direction.

As time ticked by, the magic beasts in the forest became fewer, and of course, harder to find.

Kane had already returned to camp several times.

"Finally found you; you were hiding quite deep."

After speaking, he thrust his long spear into the ground.

Seeing the magic power reaction in the ground disappear, Kane put away the long spear.

"Roar"

A deafening roar echoed from afar.

The king of the forest appeared.

Kane turned around and ran without hesitation.

At that moment in the camp, Kreya was the first to hear the distant sound.

"Kane seems to have succeeded, quickly prepare!"

Longbei and Meizike immediately began getting ready.

Before long, they saw Kane swinging and jumping among the trees.

A cloud of dust chased behind, clearly indicating a big creature was pursuing.

Kane jumped directly into the center of the camp, turned, and drew his bow, firing an arrow at the monster.

The creature resembled a saber-toothed tiger, standing 4 meters tall and covered in scale armor.

This arrow carried a package filled with the feces of other beasts.

It directly hit the monster’s nose, and smelling the scent on its nose, its eyes turned even redder.

"Roar"

Another roar followed, charging wildly at Kane.

But suddenly, a pile of stones and vines wrapped in spiderwebs fell from above, and a large pit appeared beneath its feet.

It wanted to dodge, but was suddenly trapped by steel spider webs, held by Kreya and a large dwarf on either side.

Unable to struggle, it was directly smashed into the pit.

Fortunately, the pit was wide but not very deep, leaving its head exposed.

A strand of spider silk flew over, sticking to its head, wrapped around an orange-red potion tube.

That was Meizike’s explosive potion; although tricky to configure, he still had some stock on hand.

As Meizike gestured to grip.

"Bang"

A wave of impact surged, carrying rocks flying over.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, having found cover.

After the explosion dust dissipated, Kane and the others approached the monster for inspection.

The saber-toothed tiger’s head had been blown open with a large hole, dead beyond dead.

With the death of the saber-toothed tiger, the dungeon began to transform dramatically.

Trees and bushes started to vanish, and the muddy ground turned into a stone arena floor.

With a series of shrinking transformations, the forest disappeared, returning to the starting arena.

Kane and Kreya were exhausted, crouching on the ground.

Endlessly sprinting and hunting in the forest had tired Kane out.

Kreya and the others, although not having fought much, still found the large pit and falling rock traps taxing.

Even explorers were exhausted.

The cheering from the stands was very enthusiastic; it seemed this time’s reward of gold coins wouldn’t be small.

The usual light effect appeared, with piles of gold coins and treasure chests appearing.

Let Youyou gather the gold coins, and Meizike open the treasure chest.

"Store the equipment from the treasure chest into your space equipment. We’ll check it out when we return, no need to rush."

Kane and the team only wanted to quickly return to the tavern to bathe, eat, and rest.

This time, the treasure chest indeed looked more exquisite, with complex patterns on the silver chest.

Waiting for the loot to be collected, they soon had it organized.

Accepting the gold coin bag from Youyou, which contained 28 Mist Currencies.

Seeing so many gold coins, Longbei climbed up immediately.

"Why are there so many gold coins this time?"

"Because the audience enjoyed watching."

"So, why does this dungeon restore so weirdly in the aspect of the arena?"

Dividing the gold coins properly, they prepared to instantly return to town.

Kane and his group vanished in an instant.

Upon reappearing on the teleportation stone platform, they found it crowded with explorers.

Seeing the explorers queued up, ready to enter the dungeon.

It seems outside, it’s already morning.

Leading the team through the crowd to the outside of the stone building.

Looking at the sky, it was indeed morning.

Unconsciously, they had fought in the dungeon for an entire day and night, no wonder they were both hungry and tired now.

Soon, they arrived at Big Gold Teeth.

Burton from the bar looked at Kane and his team.

"What a surprise, I thought you guys should’ve been back last midnight."

Then, he laughed heartily, "Seems you experienced the nausea of the second phase."

Kane ignored his teasing and shouted, "Quickly get some food, Burton, we’re starving."

"Ha ha ha, alright, I’ll serve you right away."

After finishing the meal, Kane and his team headed straight to their rooms, preparing for a wash and some sleep,

Agreeing to evaluate the equipment upon waking, while Burton also prepared a room for Meizike.
