I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 227 - 175: Two Wooden Cabins! (Three in One)

"Forest One" cabin Resurrection Point.

The players who were annihilated revived in a small clearing behind the cabin, and their expressions were far from pleasant.

Especially the female players.

It wasn’t that they were faint-hearted, but the scene they had just endured was simply too gruesome!

Limbs severed, brains spilled, and charred bodies mixed with the stench of rat men and the acrid smell of burned protein almost made them vomit.

"Dongyang, can you lend me a bomb?"

Polaris suddenly turned his head.

Dongyang raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and chuckled lightly:

"Sure."

He pulled out a red and a blue bomb.

"Choose one."

"Thanks …"

Polaris didn’t hesitate and directly took the blue ink bottle from his hand.

"After the dungeon ends, I’ll repay you for this bomb."

He carefully put away the ink bottle and looked up at Dongyang as he spoke.

His heart felt slightly more at ease.

With this powerful item, he saw another opportunity to earn Contribution Points.

"No hurry, you can pay me later…by the way, are you interested in joining ’Hall of Valor’? I can offer you a position as an officer."

Dongyang said with a smile.

"Thanks, but I prefer my freedom and don’t like joining guilds…"

Polaris shook his head.

"Okay."

Dongyang revealed a look of regret and shrugged his shoulders.

Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo walked over.

"Polaris, let’s get moving!"

"Hmm…"

Polaris looked at them and then glanced at the others.

"Let’s continue down the path we were on before… Most of the rat men have been killed by us. Cleaning up the rest should allow us to pass through there."

He then took out several extraordinary materials he had collected before he died.

"These are the spoils of war for everyone, we’ll divide them up after the dungeon ends…"

The others nodded and smiled.

Polaris’ candidness also made Dongyang raise his eyebrows, and he simply handed over his own gathered extraordinary materials to Polaris.

"Since we’ll divide them later, let me leave these with you."

Dongyang said.

"Alright."

Polaris took them and nodded.

"Let’s keep moving!"

When the players returned to the scene of the previous skirmish, they found the area empty, and the rat men were nowhere to be seen.

Even the bodies on the ground had vanished, as if the battle had been a collective hallucination.

"Where did they go …?"

Doghead Gold asked softly.

"I don’t know."

Polaris replied.

"But anyway, let’s stay cautious… let’s keep moving forward, and if there are no rat men to block us, that’s a good thing."

The group continued forward.

It seemed as if the rat men had indeed retreated. The area was eerily silent, not even a mouse shadow to be seen.

But just as they left this area, Doghead Gold, walking on the side of the group, suddenly stepped into the ground—it felt not like soil, but a swamp.

"Eh?!"

Doghead Gold exclaimed in surprise.

Forget No Taboo, walking beside him, also noticed something was off.

"Your foot …?"

Forget No Taboo saw that Doghead Gold’s foot was sinking deeper into the ground, reaching up to his knee and still sinking deeper and deeper.

The group stopped and looked toward them.

"What happened …?"

Horseman asked.

Polaris suddenly frowned, feeling the ground beneath his feet give way.

Looking down, he saw that his own foot was also sinking, just like Doghead Gold’s.

"Everyone be careful! This area …"

He shouted a warning.

Before the others could react, the next second—

Boom boom boom!!

The entire area they were in collapsed downwards, forming a deep pit. The players screamed as they uncontrollably fell into a deep hole.

Crackling sounds echoed.

Mud and sand rained down, splattering on them.

"Ouch … my kneecap! My elbow! It hurts like hell!"

"Pff, pff, pff …! A mouthful of dirt!"

"Is everyone okay?"

"I’m fine, just bruised my backside."

"Don’t panic, stay calm."

As they fell, losing a bit of health and crying out in pain, they all gradually got back on their feet.

They looked around to see a pitch-black cave, with only a beam of light from above providing a faint view of their surroundings.

"It’s at least five or six meters deep, about the height of two floors; we can’t climb back up …"

Polaris wiped the dirt from his face, looked up, and said in a low voice.

"Then we have to move forward."

Dongyang frowned, dusting off the mud and sand on his body, and pointed ahead.

In the already dim lighting, they could faintly see an irregular passage approximately the height of an adult.

It looked like it had been dug out by some creature.

"Could this be the lair of those rat men we just encountered?"

Doghead Gold asked.

"It’s very likely; I remember their name being ’Burrower Rat Men,’ which could explain why they vanished without a trace so quickly."

Polaris said.

"Let’s go, everyone, it’s very dark inside, be careful!"

He became wary and led the way.

Seeing this, the others steadied their nerves and calmed down. Although the female players were naturally averse to the dark, this seemed to be the only way out.
