These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 246: Hidden Dungeon

The three of us just stood there in a daze looking at this dungeon portal, but I was snapped out of that daze by the Astral White Tiger.

Once we came close, it seemed like the Astral White Tiger wanted to jump out of my shirt and run towards the dungeon portal.

So I had to come back to my senses to grab it to stop it from jumping in.

As I held it, the Astral White Tiger looked at me with pitiful eyes as if it was asking to be let go, but I didn't let it go. I held it even tighter since I knew that this kid would like playing tricks.

After being together for some time, I knew what kind of personality this Astral White Tiger had.

It was one of those mischievous kids that did what they wanted.

They were cute, but they were also troublesome if one didn't pay attention to them.

So naturally it couldn't be allowed to do what it wanted or else there would be consequences.

After thinking for a bit, I finally seemed to remember something that was related to this situation.

This was in the introduction to the Abyss that Sun Xiang gave us before we entered the Abyss.

It was a rare case, but he had mentioned it because he had been reminded of it because of a story that he was telling. Otherwise he wouldn't have included it in the basic introduction to the Abyss that he gave us.

This was a Hidden Dungeon, but it was different from the Hidden Dungeons that were known outside.

This Hidden Dungeon was a special instant inside of the Abyss dungeon that one could only encounter if they were lucky. It was effectively a dungeon within a dungeon, but there was something special about it according to Sun Xiang.

"If you're ever lucky enough to find one, you'll know exactly what I mean."

That was the one thing that I had to complain about since he clearly could have told me what these Hidden Dungeons were, but he chose to act mysterious and keep it a secret.

However, it didn't matter since one of these Hidden Dungeons was now in front of me.

The one thing that Sun Xiang did tell us was that these Hidden Dungeons would provide contribution points if they were cleared, so it wasn't as if they were completely fruitless. At the same time, there would be special items that would come from the Hidden Dungeons.

That was why Hidden Dungeons could be considered treasure troves.

It was just that Hidden Dungeons were also dangerous.

After thinking this through, I looked at Wang Rong and Iris to get their opinion on this.

However, I didn't have to ask a single thing.

The looks in their eyes already made it clear what they were thinking, it seemed that they were just waiting for me to come to a decision. In a way, they were more decisive than me who was hesitating over this.

So I gave a simple nod to them before saying, "We're going in."

The two of them followed me with nods as well.

With the Astral White Tiger excitedly bouncing in my arms, we walked into the dungeon portal.

The moment that we walked through, the first thing that we said was…

"It's hot!"

That was actually an understatement since it wasn't just a normal level of heat that was in this Hidden Dungeon.

As the name of this Hidden Dungeon suggested, the environment of this place was a desert. It was a land of sand that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, so there really seemed like there was no end to it.

But if it was a land of sand that stretched as far as the eye could see, how were we supposed to leave this place?

After all, it seemed like there was no exit portal to this dungeon.

Did that mean that we could only leave this place after we cleared this Hidden Dungeon?

"First things first…" I said to myself before turning to the Echo Bat.

It knew exactly what I was thinking, so it opened its mouth to release an echo before shaking its head.

It seemed that at the very least, we were safe for now.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Wang Rong asked from behind me and it seemed that it wasn't just him that was lost as Iris had a similar look on her face as she looked at me.

But even if they asked me this, what was I supposed to say?

It wasn't as if I knew where to go either in this endless desert.

So I just stood there with an awkward look on my face as I didn't know what to say.

Only that was when I lost hold of the Astral White Tiger.

It had been struggling this entire time in my hands and it didn't seem like it was going to calm down. It was just that I was much stronger than the Astral White Tiger to begin with, so it wasn't able to get anywhere.

That was until it suddenly broke free when my attention was split.

The Astral White Tiger fell right to the ground and started to sink into the sand. The excitement that it had seemed to disappear without leaving a single trace as it started panicking while sinking into the sand.

The sound of that pulled me out of my daze.

Looking at the Astral White Tiger struggling in the sand like this, I couldn't help shaking my head with a bitter smile. But in the end, I did pull the Astral White Tiger out of the sand and helped it dust off the sand that was sticking to its fur.

Other than that, there was something else that I had to ask it.

"Is there something that you're attracted to in this place?"

The Astral White Tiger gave a firm nod before slowly regaining its excitement.

After thinking about it, I said with a nod, "Lead the way then."
