[Beast Dungeon]
There are a total of 76 adventurers that had entered the double dungeon. Once everyone was inside, the door then suddenly closed shut and disappeared as if it never existed at all.
Upon seeing this, some adventurers panicked.
"Wha-what the?!?!? The door! It vanished, where did it go?"
"Does this mean that we are trapped here until we either clear this dungeon or get eliminated?"
"Good thing we don't die permanently if we die inside the dungeon, or else many of us wouldn't survive at all"
As everyone in the rear was chatting away, one of the leading adventurers at the front, begun sounding out a commanding voice as if he was the assigned officer for this raid.
"Everyone! Calm down, there's no need to panic. We just need to clear this dungeon and we all can leave this place"
But just as that particular adventurer said those words, some scouts who have a very sharp eyesight, suddenly saw something lurking in the dark and immediately called out in alarm.
"Enemy's incoming!!!"
Hearing that, everyone then tensed up as the people in the front begun pulling out their weapon and looked ahead of them.
Everyone was clearly at edge. After all they had just entered the dungeons door, and they were already attacked by the enemy monsters. If this wasn't a large group, some of them would have panicked and forget what to do afterwards.
But with a large number of adventurers present, they all stood firm despite fear gripping unto their hearts.
Soon after a huge tsunami of rats at the same size of an average dog's, rushed towards them as that particular commanding adventurer begun pulling out orders.
"Shielders! At the front, stop the enemy on its tracks... Mages apply enhancement and support magic at the people at the front, also apply attack boost towards the attackers"
Following the command, everyone begun moving systematically as the shielders released their various defensive skills and slammed against the oncoming tide of rats. With the mages support, the shielders or better yet tankers only slid back a couple of steps, until they finally got a proper foothold.
"Hold! Hold your ground!... mages! Cast offensive spells at the middle of the enemy formation, weaken their advance!!!"
Just like that three mages released an
Under that command the attackers and shielders charged forward, the mages casted spells, the ranged attackers fired their shots, and as for those in the rear they just kills off anything that passes through the front.
With such strict coordination. All the rats were soon killed without any casualties among the group.
Once the rats were killed, the whole huge group moved on ahead and encountered various challenging terrain. But with experience under their belt, such obstacles were easily dealt with.
As for the traps, they were disabled by the scouts and even cleaned up properly. In case a trap was overlooked and someone got caught in it, the healers were already on a standby to patch up the wounded adventurer.
This type of routine continued on for about an hour and a half later. Aside from the rats that they encountered at the beginning of the dungeon, there was no other monsters thy have encountered.
It was so empty that some adventurers begun joking that the rats must have eaten all the monsters in the dungeon. Of course they were reprimanded by some veteran adventurers of being lax, but with no monsters in sight, even some of the veteran adventurers begun to relax a little.
After for another hour of no monster but traps only, some begun to feel worry, others begun to fully relax, while others literally let's go of their tense guards.
Soon after they entered an area where the ground or better yet the dirt itself is both soft and hard. Some areas are soft to step on, while some areas are hard, and this enviroment continues on for miles on end. Because of that some Adventurers named it as the valley of soft and hard.
Not long after as everyone was passing through the valley, a monster with long legs suddenly pops out from the soft ground and caught one of the rear end adventurer, before biting on its legs and dragging it down beneath the soft ground. Soon after the adventurers screams were drowned, followed by a muffled gag as if something had snap deep within the ground
Seeing that happening right before everyone's eyes, everyone begun to tense up and panic a little as they tightened their formation whole being wary of their surroundings.
"What.... what was that?"
"I don't know! Everything happened so fast"
"Where did that thing even came from?"
Of course even though tightening the formation is the right course of action in case of danger, that type of plan is nothing against this sort of enemy.
Once more another different long legged monster pops out of the ground as it bites unto a mages hood and immediately dragged it deep into the ground. As the mage was being dragged away, his screams echoed until silence Soon later followed.
But that didn't end there as monsters pops out from the walls, ceilings, and even below the ground. Each attack took atleast one adventurer down as their numbers quickly depletes from this continuous ambush.
Soon after one of them finally recognized the monster true identity.
"They are wolf spiders! Wolf spider monster often times hide itself in the dark corners or the ground, waiting for its prey.... once a prey got close to its hiding place, it will then attack and drag it down back to its hiding place where it will kill its prey"
At the same time one of the adventurer had figured out a pattern in the monsters attack.
"The soft ground! The monsters hiding area are the soft ground, if you want to survive, everyone move to the hard grounds"
Following that command, everyone quickly followed suit as everyone avoided the soft grounds.
Of course some adventurers were happy about it, but before they could even fully enjoy it, black long spears flew in from the dark corners of the dungeon as it pierced some adventurers
Eyes filled with surprise everyone then looked at the direction of the attack and everyone saw an army porcupine the size of a huge dog, had appeared and begun eliminating the adventuerer.
Right now from the total of 76 adventurers, they were now down to 54 adventurers.
