Chapter 225: Raid dungeon (17)
To my surprise, but not that much…Long Shui Ling was quite easy to convince.
I talked to her about it, but she didn't even let me finish as she said, "If you're going, then I'm going."
The way that she stated this was like she was stating a fact that couldn't be brokered with.
She seemed like she really would chase me to the ends of the world if I ever ran away.
Were the suggestions that I left in her that powerful?
Or did she just have this kind of personality in the first place?
This really made me think that I didn't know enough about her. Read next chapters on m vl-em-py-r
The only reason that we were together in the end was because of Lilith's prank.
It seemed that I should take some time to learn more about her and not just about her family.
Otherwise, it would be bad for me in the future if she suddenly did something I couldn't expect.
We just spent the rest of the day helping out in the camp.
The time to go was when the camp went into night mode, when most of the main fighters of the group would be sleeping.
That was also why we took quick naps in between our jobs.
When 'night' fell, the two of us were ready.
I had used my Hypnosis to make the rest of our group fall asleep faster, so that they were all asleep when we snuck out.
When we arrived at the edge of the camp, I found that Tie Gang was already waiting there for us.
He waved his hand at the two of us when he saw us and we quickly went over. When we were standing there in that hidden corner, he asked, "Are you sure that no one followed you?"
I gave a nod before looking over at Long Shui Ling.
She just calmly said, "The illusions are still in place and no one has found anything yet."
Tie Gang gave a nod before turning to the makeshift barricade in front of us.
This was part of the wall that had been built around the camp. It was supposed to protect us along with the barrier that was deployed.
I didn't understand why he was looking at this wall like this, but then he quickly showed me why.
He took out a token that he pressed against the wall and there was a shift in the wall that happened. After a moment, there was a hole that appeared in the wall as the material moved out of the way.
It was as if this wall was reacting to the token.
The reason for that was…the wall was indeed reacting to the token.
This wall was made of a special material that could be freely molded, which was how it was so easily transported and installed in this dungeon. It was a special material that changed shape based on the magic that was injected into it.
This token was most likely some kind of special control for the wall that allowed him to create this hole.
Once the wall had finished shifting to create this hole, Tie Gang walked through it without any hesitation before waving his hand behind him for them to follow.
The two of them looked at each other before walking through the hole as well.
But there was still the barrier that was outside of this wall that they had to deal with.
Or at least that was what they thought.
After going through the hole in the wall, Tie Gang turned around to use the token to close the hole before turning to use the token on the barrier. It took no time at all for a hole to appear in the barrier just like with the wall.
After they went through the hole in the barrier, they were now out of the safe zone.
Tie Gang closed the hole in the barrier with the token before waving at them to follow him again.
The three of them quickly moved away from the camp before stopping somewhere to discuss what they would do.
After all, Tie Gang hadn't said a thing about what we would be doing when he talked to me in private earlier. He had just told me about the plan to leave the camp without being detected, he hadn't told me anything about what we were doing.
Once we were in a place to talk, Tie Gang pulled out a map that he spread out on the floor in front of us before pointing at a few spots on it, "This is where we are right now and this is where we will be going to verify my suspicions."
The spot that he was pointing at was a spot that was past the five different safe zones on the first floor.
This was the final room before the second floor, the room with the floor boss.
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I saw this before asking, "Can we really go there alone? Are we able to do this by ourselves?"
Tie Gang hesitated, but he still gave a nod in the end as he said, "If I have you supporting me, it should be possible." Then as if he thought of something, he added, "But in a worst case scenario, we can use this to run away."
He pulled out a ball that he put in front of us.
I looked at it carefully while he explained what it was.
Emergency Escape Orb
Allows a one time escape for all allies of the user within a ten meter range from a boss room.
The appraisal of the item that I got with my system was the same as what he said, so I knew that he wasn't lying. It seemed that he had prepared for everything, but if I had to guess, this was most likely supposed to be used for the final boss just in case anything happened.
But instead, we were using it for this floor boss.
Still, since Tie Gang trusted me with everything all the trump cards he had, I should at least trust him.
So I asked, "How will we get there?"
With a smile, he started laying out the route on the map.
