Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1313 - 828: The Hydraulic Expert of Little Londo Ruins (Part 2)

These adventurers have contributed quite a bit, they deserve some reward.

Tusi remembered that she originally brought in these adventurers just to make up the numbers, and to her surprise, these adventurers exhibited extraordinary qualities.

They were all incredibly strong and had physical abilities beyond the ordinary, useful for both attacking and opening paths, and they worked diligently without cutting any corners.

Apart from their combat style being a bit wild, which made everyone dirty, they had no shortcomings at all.

Wild talents have appeared!

It would be a shame not to find a way to recruit them, Tusi decided to offer an olive branch to these unfamiliar adventurers once they returned.

So it was necessary to gain some goodwill.

"Once our exploration of the Little Londo Ruins is sufficient for a report, I'll let you decide whether or not to enter this Painting World, everyone can choose."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tusi saw the adventurers' eyes light up with excitement, knowing his words had struck a chord.

Thus, this hastily assembled team proceeded deeper into the Little Longde Ruins.

If there was one feeling this area gave, it was cold and damp.

The entire ruins were flooded with icy water, everywhere was pitch-black stagnant water, only a few ruins' buildings jutted out for people to walk on, sometimes forcing people to wade through the water.

In the water, occasionally floated unrecognizable drowned corpses, disgusting enough to make a common person lose appetite for days.

It's not hard to deduce from this scene that Little Longde Ruins were once inhabited, and when this flood came, the local residents didn't have time to escape, and who knows how many corpses lie hidden beneath the water.

"What a tragic disaster."

Standing on the surfaced ruins, Tusi couldn't help but sigh.

Then, a ghostly head popped out of a nearby wall and let out a sharp, piercing scream at him, completely ruining the literary mood.

A small group of ghosts suddenly appeared from all directions, launching an ambush against the team, and the adventurers who had already used Temporary Curse on themselves immediately engaged in battle.

Tusi smashed the ghostly head that hadn't retracted in time along with the decayed ruin wall, grabbed this bastard's body, slammed it to the ground, and finished it off with a stomp that pulverized its body!

After doing all this, he was panting heavily, his body shaking with every breath...he was genuinely scared just now.

Though he had volunteered to come to the Little Longde Ruins, Tusi was actually quite easily frightened.

Especially since Gong Qiying had deliberately equipped the normally speechless ghosts with the booming voices of monsters from the neighboring Bloodborne set to scare adventurers, making the fright even more intense.

But as the saying goes, excessive fright turns into anger, and right now, he was furious!

"Smash these aliens to bits for me!"

The site was immediately filled with the wailing of ghosts and the angry shouts of adventurers.

The Dark Moon Swords were somewhat restrained in their fighting, after all, they were battling in a rather narrow and worn-out ruin, and Sain Dungeon's restoration of the ruins was quite meticulous, occasionally risking collapse that could soak everyone.

They wielded weapons to slay the ghosts, while the ghosts' hands could morph into various weapons to launch surprise attacks, forcing them to stay fully focused during combat.

However, the local adventurers they recruited weren't so mindful.

"Ha ha!"

A tall and muscular, slightly dark-skinned adventurer swung a large club smashing a ghost's body, and couldn't stop himself from also hitting the ruins underfoot, which groaned under the strain, on the verge of collapsing.

His companion, equally burly and dark, wielded two large knives, hacking randomly without much technique, relying purely on brute strength to crush the ghosts in front of him.

Of course, this wild fighting style caused the ruins underfoot to start making creaking sounds.

"Be careful!" Tusi couldn't help but shout, finally getting the adventurers to calm down.

Sigh, these guys were great in every aspect, the only issue was they were just too reckless, he shook his head, wondering what sort of environment these adventurers grew up in.

The small group of ghosts was no match for them, and they continued their exploration deeper into the damp ruins.

They had to jump between the ruins above the waterline to progress, occasionally encountering a surfaced piece was considered good luck, but going inside often led to attacks by ghosts from unexpected places, eventually causing everyone to avoid going into any ruin.

It seemed like the Little Longde Ruins only had ghosts as the existing monsters, as they hadn't encountered any other creatures so far—excluding the reclusive animated corpses at the entrance.

So once they were familiar with the ghosts' combat mode, overcoming the fear was easy, and it became quite simple to deal with them.

"What's this?"

Tusi picked up a red sphere from the ground, examining it closely, to find it was a Cracked Blood Red Eye Orb, a one-time invasion tool.

"A Soul-sucking Ghost item, quite rare in Scameroon areas."

"Um, could you let us have a look?"

The adventurers suddenly spoke, their tone controlled as if asking for something like children.

Tusi wasn't interested in the item, and besides, the Dark Moon Swords had their own invasion tools, so he directly tossed the orb to the adventurers, saying, "It's yours."

"Thank you!"

The three adventurers were thrilled, huddled together looking at the Cracked Blood Red Eye Orb, just like kids with a new toy.

"How grown-up they are."

Tusi couldn't help but smile, these young men gave him an impression of being inexperienced, making him want to look after them.

"It's a Soul-sucking Ghost's tool, didn't expect us to get one first."

"Soul-sucking Ghost, that's associated with the Abyss, right?"

"Exactly, exactly, I've studied the records, they are related."

"That's great..."

The adventurers chuckled, their smiles giving a sense of being easily satisfied and taken care of.

Tusi observed this, silently labeling them as "possibly country bumpkins" in his mind, feeling a sense of superiority.

But, why find a Soul-sucking Ghost item here?

And that Painting World earlier.

Could it be that these two things hinted at something?

The subsequent exploration journey was thrilling but not dangerous, the difficulty increased with depth, but it was mostly the increase of monsters and worsening terrain.

Such difficulties weren't challenging for Tusi, who had faced rough treatment in other nations' Sain Dungeon sections, progressing steadily through.

The deeper they ventured, surfaced buildings grew in number, and appeared with more decorations on the exterior.

"Could this be like entering a central district?"

Not only did tall buildings increase, after maneuvering through a series of winding paths and monster-infested roads, they discovered a rotatable mechanism, somewhat reminiscent of Yanor Londo's style.

When the group pushed it on a whim, a slight tremor echoed through the Little Longde Ruins, accompanied by the sound of water flowing.

Could it be...

"The water level is dropping!"
