Chapter 527 The Tide's No Return: Countdown to Deep Dive

Chapter 527 The Tide Never Returns: Deep Dive Countdown

Cold and slippery.

And the thick, visible malice that permeates every inch of air.

This is after entering the dungeon.

The first to open their eyes.

Fang Yi glimpsed this unusually oppressive, pitch-black space.

The first reaction that arose in my mind.

Ignoring the fading song that was playing in my ears.

The torch was already held in the man's hand.

The magic was already emanating from the fingertips.

However, it was faster than the [Flame Magic] that the man had activated.

It is the sound of friction echoing in the air.

"Clap!"

A sound like striking a match against the red phosphorus coating on the side of a matchbox rang out.

A very faint beam.

The firelight could only vaguely illuminate the figures of the crowd.

It was then revealed in the torch held high in Corey's left hand.

The photo captured the rapid tactical hand gestures of the old man's right hand.

[Silence], [I will be on guard].

The old man had just finished making the gesture.

A very faint sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.

The eerie green shield that the old man carried on his back then stood in front of him.

He also squatted down slightly.

They were already prepared to engage the enemy at any time and protect everyone from arrow attacks.
-
[My reactions and movements are faster than before. Is this due to combat readiness?]

Fang Yi put away the torch in his hand.

He calmly added another gesture to the crowd.

[Report your physical condition and stress level], [Check the status of equipment and supplies].

I'm here to scout.

Fang Yi's extraordinary perception, and his ability to sense malice.

She had already told the man something.

This dungeon has something different from the ones we've encountered before, something we need to be wary of.

[Mid-hour Calculation]

This is accompanied by a deduction of mana.

He didn't pay attention to the reactions of others.

The man released his spiritual power, which condensed into invisible tentacles.

They began to perceive the dungeon and its structure.

We began gathering initial information.
-
Although the reason for remaining silent is unknown.

But the group had already learned how to communicate tactically.

After noticing the gestures of the old man and Fang Yi, they fell silent.

He used the faint firelight to feel his own body.

At the same time, he touched his weapon.

The young swordsman gripped the longsword at his waist.

It was pulled out with a "whoosh".

He had just drawn this strangely familiar weapon.

Vaughn then felt something about this longsword.

At this moment, there is a sense of unfamiliarity and strangeness, unlike anything I've experienced before.

Soon, after sensing the condition of the longsword in his hand...

With the help of the faint light emitted by the torch in the old man's hand.

The young swordsman quickly noticed the unusual feature.

The silver-white steel longsword in his hand had an extremely fine water mark that had appeared out of nowhere on its blade.

Or water stains.
-
The swordsman who noticed the anomaly.

The pupils suddenly shrank.

He knew this sword very well.

They had already realized that something was wrong.

This sword cannot compare to the legendary divine weapons.

It has incredible performance and is indestructible.

The scabbard containing the sword was not made of any rare material.

However, the longsword itself also has the attributes of being "difficult to adhere to liquids and not easily damaged".

The scabbard also serves to keep the sword clean and sharp.

Is this watermark an effect of the 'dungeon'?

Such a thought flashed through my mind.

Gaze upon the water stain.

After observing for several seconds.

The swordsman then discovered an extremely strange fact.

This watermark has a slow-growing, spreading tendency.

It's like a newly transplanted sapling.

Do watermarks 'grow' over time?

Although it doesn't have any immediate impact, it's probably not a good thing!

The swordsman raised his head.

He first glanced at Fang Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Seeing the man's furrowed brows, as if he hadn't completed his reconnaissance, he raised his right hand and gestured to the old man.

There's something on the weapon.

The swordsman had just raised his right hand.

I noticed the unusually thick watermark on my gauntlet.

After noticing that my right hand was slightly damp.

The swordsman then felt something appear out of thin air in his hand.

It's like an arm inserted into water, experiencing the subtle resistance as it ripples.

[Also on the armor and arms? Is this a curse?]

The swordsman has drawn a preliminary conclusion.

He was about to continue making gestures.

Fang Yi, who was standing to the side, suddenly opened his eyes.

broke the silence.

"The reconnaissance is complete, and the basic structure of the dungeon is clear."

"You can speak now; there are no enemies around."

After [Spirit] reaches 32 points.

Men's perception has improved considerably.
-
Hearing the man's declaration.

Everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The swordsman raised his longsword.

He described the intelligence he had obtained using extremely precise wording.

"Water stains, there are on my weapons and armor."

"It appears after entering the dungeon."

The swordsman, while speaking, waved his arms again.

"The longsword is currently normal."

"But when I wave my arms, there is a slight resistance and a wet feeling."

"It seems to be getting bigger."

"The pressure level is currently around 2%, which translates to approximately 23%?"

The old man raised his shield.

He examined the shield's smooth, mirror-like surface.

After discovering a thin line of water and sensing the feedback from the equipment.

Then a message was reported.

"Water stains can affect the performance of equipment."

"Pressure, 13."

"That singing just now should have been..."

The old man hadn't finished speaking.

The torch in his hand then emitted a very loud popping sound.

Looking at the torch in his hand, which was burning at an unusually rapid rate.

The old man's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"The torches are burning much faster, and the range of illumination is also smaller."

"The song just now should indicate that there will be Sirens, which are similar to fishmen but stronger and closer to the legendary sea monsters, appearing in this battle."

at the same time.

Miss Kanroji then raised her right hand.

He showed the murky liquid in his hand to everyone.

I quickly reported some bad news.

"Pressure 31."

"As the one responsible for carrying the Holy Water, some of the Holy Water in my Identity Badge has become ineffective."

"Only eight effective bottles remained, and some supplies were also lost."

Fang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Two damp bundles of firewood were taken out; they had been strangely covered with barnacles as soon as they were placed in the air.

He looked at everyone and announced even worse news.

"Elite-level dungeons with a [leader] allow you to bring in an extra [firewood]."

"Including the original limitations of the [Large Dungeon], the requirement is to have four units of [firewood] for [camping] to rest and to protect it from stress."

"But now two of them have lost their effectiveness and can no longer be used."

"Considering that staying in a certain area without moving forward will accelerate pressure erosion and water stains."

"This means that our dungeon run is time-limited and has very little room for error; we only have two chances to adjust."

After a moment of silence.

Feeling the attention of everyone.

Fang Yi looked at the unusual darkness in the distance.

A long passageway made of bricks and stones engraved with patterns resembling fish scales.

The first directive was issued.

"And now, I'm going to use one of my chances."

"Get ready to set up camp, I'm going."

But the man's instructions were not carried out.

"Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash—!!"
