Chapter 637 It Fell to Its Death
"I understand!"

Seeing the key in his captain's hand, Tammy suddenly clapped his hands and said as if a flash of inspiration had struck him:

"There must be other treasure vaults and other keys, and the rewards will definitely be better than the treasure vaults that the key we have now can open! We need to go find the remaining keys!"

"."

Everyone looked at him calmly, without any unusual emotional changes.

Because the conclusion he just reached is obvious.

If we can't even guess this much information, then we don't need to be a strategy team.

Tammy noticed the atmosphere was gradually becoming awkward, feeling a sense of unease as he sent a "Hello everyone" message to a chat group that had been buzzing with activity, only to be met with complete silence.

Someone please give him a compliment! Luluwo is even planning to go for it herself.

"Wow, you're amazing! I never thought of that."

Just then, Fudolin suddenly leaned close to Tammy with her eyes sparkling and said this.

This made Tammy pout, and she kept scratching her head shyly, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Fudolin, you really are someone who cares about your teammates. Luluwo's ​​evaluation of this newcomer has risen another point.

Things are developing in the direction Fudolin hoped for. Would she be even happier if she knew Luluvo's thoughts?

However, she didn't praise Tammy intentionally or with any ulterior motive.

Because she genuinely lacked common sense about adventure, she never imagined that a single key could trigger such a series of events!
"There are so many runes after the three of them died."

Although not calculated very seriously, the number of runes produced by the Blood Nobles of the Blood Dynasty is undoubtedly at least on par with, and even more than, the Giant Guards of Anor Londo.

As expected, its combat feel suggests it's an elite monster.

After dealing with the enemy, the group began to walk along the unexplored cave, making sure to burn the bloodstains before leaving.

Even after it's burned dry, other monsters still appear here, all of them resembling monsters from other areas.

For example, bat monsters, giant ants, and other monsters that can be found in other areas.

The only two differences between them and the original monsters are that they are much stronger and their entire bodies are covered in blood, giving them a bright red color.

“Actually, Ais and Em came too,” Tammy said as she sprinkled repair powder on her one-handed sword, “but they were accidentally beaten to death by the rampaging Platinum Sons. Before they died, they said they wanted to go back and rest.”

“The Platinum Children here are indeed strange; it’s not a big deal that we’ve fallen into their hands.” Luluwo nodded.

It's not that being the son of platinum is strange.

Rather, all the monsters in the Blood Dynasty were strange.

After successfully reuniting with Tammy and the others, the group formed a standard exploration team for the Skyward Strategy Group, and began exploring the entire Blood Dynasty according to their usual routine.

The entire exploration process emphasizes "steady progress," absolutely avoiding greed for quick success, taking the initiative, and venturing into anything that seems amiss.

Once adventurers learn this method, they can avoid most traps, and even mountains of gold and silver might not be able to sway their minds.

When an adventurer's exploration results in such a situation, the Sein Dungeon will also change accordingly. The dungeon will record the adventurer's exploration style, and the changes will occur the next time the adventurer enters the dungeon.

For example, when dealing with teams like the Skyward Strategy Group, who have already overcome their arrogance and impatience and thoroughly explored the entire map before looking for shortcuts, the dungeon will reduce the number of traps and distribute the difficulty represented by these traps to the monsters, increasing the probability of adventurers encountering monsters head-on, and making minor adjustments to the distribution of monster group types.

These were all pre-set by Gong Qiying; he didn't need to actively look at them, and the Sain Dungeon would automatically act according to these standards.

"It's finally out."

After emerging from the cave safely, the light of the night sky outside was dazzling. Once they were truly out of the dark cave, the scene they saw could finally be described as a "spectacle".

"Were those buildings prototypes?"

As their vision pierced through the cave's end, they saw a vast lake of blood before them—a giant lake formed from a pool of accumulated blood!

The lake gleamed with an eerie light, like a dark ruby, and looked rather ominous. What kind of creature could be producing such a massive amount of blood?
The group was separated from the lake by a broken cliff, between which lay a bottomless abyss. Blood formed a waterfall that cascaded into the abyss, and ordinary creatures that fell in would die instantly.

What does that place lead to?
Looking towards the end of the blood lake, there are towering mountain peaks.

But this time, there were more man-made traces on the mountain.

A palace built of massive stones, clearly unfinished, sits atop the mountain, radiating an eerie aura as if concealing a great secret.

"Could that be the residence of the so-called Blood King?"

"According to White Mask, that guy is currently spending the night with his partner?"

"Do you have binoculars? I want to see! I want to see!"

"Captain, please watch your words and actions, and our binoculars can't see over there."

Berto silently put down his binoculars and let out a disappointed sigh. Although the binoculars couldn't see anything, the group had already immediately designated that place as their primary target for exploration, followed by the blood-red lake.

Around the lake grow withered, menacing black trees that resemble ghostly claws, and perch on the trees large and small blood-red crows, which are exactly the same as the large crows on Galid's side except for their color.

When people saw this thing, they got goosebumps all over. What everyone hates most is a wild beast-type enemy.

"With such a large rift in between, the monsters shouldn't be able to get here, right?"

Tammy tentatively moved closer to the edge of the cliff, and the next moment they heard a series of strange cries. The largest crow closest to them let out a piercing scream and flapped its wings as it swooped down on the group!

"Oh no, can he really fly over here?!"

Everyone instantly assumed a full fighting stance. Fudolin even gently gathered her strength in her fist, ready to punch the giant crow if it dared to swoop down, wanting to give it a taste of ping-pong!
However, the thing everyone feared did not happen.

The next second, in the blink of an eye, the giant crow's body completely disappeared.

"."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Tammy hesitated before speaking:
"If I'm not mistaken, it just fell down and died?"

Luluwo looked at her increased runes and nodded in agreement, "He really did die from the fall."

Another silence fell over the crowd. Berto looked at the remaining large crows, adjusted his glasses with trembling hands, and said:

"Is it possible, I mean, to obtain enough runes by repeatedly luring those big crows to jump off the cliff?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luluwo threw several throwing knives at the other large crows, successfully attracting the attention of a group of monsters.

However, apart from one large crow being pushed off the cliff by its kin who rushed over, the rest of the large crows hovered at the edge of the blood lake, staring at them with venomous eyes, but they just couldn't fall down.

Seeing this, Luluwo shrugged and said:
"Monsters aren't stupid; they wouldn't be foolish enough to jump off a cliff."

What was the deal with that big crow just now?
Berto didn't speak, but an idea formed in his mind.

The crow seemed intelligent, but not very intelligent. Just now, some crows jumped off the cliff, and others were pushed off by their companions.

If he makes good use of the crows' irritable nature, could he make the crows jump off the building by being pushed by their companions?

He wasn't greedy; he was happy if two or three large crows could be squeezed out. After all, these monsters were quite valuable, and who wouldn't want to have the chance to get two or three large crow runes for free once a day?

A strange, powerful white light flashed in Berto's eyes as he muttered to himself:
"Finding shortcuts is indeed our strength."

With the cliff as a natural barrier, there was no need to worry about the possibility of a large crow crossing over and launching a surprise attack. They turned around and walked along the only path next to the cave exit.

Although the route is fixed, based on the view from above, they will definitely be able to reach the "palace" located on the mountain peak if they follow this road.

Although no one said it aloud, everyone was extremely interested in the Blood King's so-called "spending the night together." Being able to meet such a powerful figure in the Sien Dungeon was just too awesome.

Look, the innocent young boy Tammy is blushing, probably thinking about something.

"Speaking of which, have any of the previous footage or intelligence reports mentioned a person called Blood King?" he asked, trying to divert attention.

“Isn’t that the amulet from earlier?” Luluwo took out the [Blood King’s Pleasure] and pointed to the image carved on it, saying, “This is probably what the Blood King looks like.”

The image carved on the amulet is definitely not human, but a monster dressed in a magnificent robe, with a head covered in hideous horns, one of which is even stuck into one of its eyes.

An aura of ferocity and menace washed over us.

What's even more puzzling is:

Why does he look a bit like a malevolent spirit?

"Who knows? Maybe they're from the same race, or maybe they're brothers."

Luluwo shrugged, indicating that none of this mattered.

Because the topics being discussed by these people were too profound, Fudolin, who knew almost nothing about the underground city of Sein, looked around at the scenery with boredom. Unfortunately, the blood lake kept emitting a foul smell, making it impossible for her to relax and making her feel unbearable.

Just then, she saw a faint golden light shimmering on the roadside.

Golden light? This color is completely out of place in the Blood Dynasty.

When she got closer, she realized that the thing emitting light was actually a plant whose style clashed quite a bit with its surroundings.

【Mikaela Water Lily】

"Why would it grow in a place like this?"

Fudolin reached out to touch it, but the water lily suddenly disappeared, and a sharp pain suddenly shot through her arm.

She blinked and saw a twig stuck in her hand, blood trickling from the wound. The twig was...
【Enchanting Branches】
