51 – Gratitude
“Oh, it’s a little dangerous.”
Right now, in front of me, there are three giant bees
struggling on the ground.
While being vigilant, I excitedly deal the final blow and
turn around.
“Yeah, if I can do this much, maybe I can proceed further.”
I don’t know what the suitable level should be so I still
feel a little uneasy.
“Ok! Let’s find the stairs!”
Maybe it’s my last time here, so I place a cabbage in front
of the burrow and put my hands together.
“Thank you for all the meat and experience. If you like it,
please share it with everyone.”
52 – Cabbage
As I stepped away from the burrow, I had only taken one step
before I heard something behind me.
I wanted to take a look at it at the end, so I looked back.
It wasn’t a rabbit, but a rat, who had been missing for a
long time.
I don’t know why it’s here but I have to get rid of it for
the time being.
“It’s not for you!”
Its food for the rabbit, I can’t just give it to some
unknown mouse.
I had to hurriedly take care of the mouse, made sure the
cabbage was safe and take a break.
53 – Tear Off
As I was about to head back, I remembered.
Didn’t the pet keeper say to tear it off.
If that works then it will be quick.
I tear it off and throw it into the hole.
Tearing the ball and putting in the core at the end.
If it’s about the core, you can give it to a rat.
And so, I returned to find the stairs.
Currently, the terrain up to the second floor seems to be
fixed.
Three passages and 1 large room.
There seems to be a small room at the end of the passage.
And because of that, I easily found the stairs.
54 – Third Layer
A small amount of light could be seen coming out from the
stairs I found.
What is happening?
As I was carefully going down the stairs, I noticed on the
left side that a part of the wall was missing.
“Awesome… wait. We’re underground, right?”
Considering the height of the stairs, the height should be
around five to six metres.
However, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that in front
of me is nothing but a sprawling forest.
The wall is definitely there.
If you reach out to touch, you would only feel the wall.
But I can’t see the wall.
Without missing the view of this endlessly continuous world,
I start my exploration.
55 – Vegetation
When I hit the big mossy tree, the inside felt completely
hollow.
All the plants here are big, even the small fern-like plants
are no exception.
All of them exceed my height.
Although I can’t see them, I can hear insects and birds
around me.
And then there was a rattling sound from behind me.
I stop slacking and focus my attention.
There was a rabbit there.
“Fluffy… so you’re perfectly alright.”
This will provide meat for a while as well as smiles.
Meat is not the only goal.
In this dungeon where life and death are constantly traded,
cute things can help heal the heart.
56 – Lizard
While I was observing the rabbit, the grass it came out from
rattled behind him.
As if to surprise me, a huge lizard jumped out.
This is the first monster I’ve seen here.
Giant Lizard: Non-poisonous carnivorous lizard.
“Carnivorous…”
Until now, all the monsters were carnivorous.
But this is the first time it has specified that something
is carnivorous.
In other words, it is a very dangerous opponent.
Before I knew it, the lizard’s mouth was bright red.
The rabbit had disappeared as light.
57 – Food Chain
“So there’s a food chain in the dungeon as well.”
If you think of the first two layers being used raise
monsters to feed the monsters on the bottom layer, then…
It makes sense to live in a group if there’s no food.
Then, on this third layer, there is a chance that monsters
from both the first and second layer are here.
Yes, even the bats that went extinct must be here!
Of course, the lizard aiming at me is also here.
Number of ingredients may increase.
“Hmm? Aiming at me? … Wait!”
58 – Strong Enemy
I guess I ended up thinking a little too much.
I should’ve noticed that the lizard was aiming for me.
Without being prepared for the attack, I was barely brought
back to reality.
I was barely able to avoid it, I’ll be careful in the
future.
Anyway, I first have to defeat the enemy in front of me.
The lizard only attacks by biting, it doesn’t use its claws
or tail.
I’ll just be on the safe side, its speed is the real danger.
Despite its large build, it’s faster than a rabbit. A strong
enemy.
59 – Escape
I counterattacked with the pickaxe when it couldn’t avoid
it.
It hit with a loud ‘kang’ but the sensation feels good once
in a while.
We’ve been fighting for a while now as both sides are
fierce.
What should I do…?
Seeing as this wasn’t getting settled quickly, the lizard
made its escape.
“Oh, Hey! Hey!!”
It was good that I was still safe.
But it irks me that we didn’t settle this fight.
My body that was fired up until now is cold with sweat.
At last, I was able to calm down.
60 – Foot
If you think about it rationally, the time I spent fighting
was completely in vain.
“It ran away… I need to raise my level.”
I muttered looking at the clear sky-blue ceiling.
If you decide to do something, then you need to take action
on it.
I can no longer raise my level on the second layer.
If that is so, then I must work hard on this third layer.
There may be many more powerful enemies like the giant
lizard.
I have to be even more vigilant and alert than before.
I make my way through the grass.
A few minutes after that, something bumped into my foot.
