Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!
Chapter 89: The Egg Carrier and the Witch
These "egg carriers" were writhing in pain, their bodies almost completely crushed and lying on the ground. The culprit was the disgustingly bloated giant egg.
Compared to the maggot-infested zombies, the egg-carrying men are just as challenging to the limits of adventurers' mental endurance, and even those with rich adventure experience can't help but feel their hair stand on end.
Not only that, these egg carriers crawled and writhed on the ground, occasionally letting out miserable groans, further irritating everyone's eardrums.
"Do these 'people' still have any sense?" Grace, her face pale, couldn't help but ask as she moved Rivers' hand away from her eyes.
"Whether they're here or not doesn't affect our actions." Elisa shook her head, raised her staff, and prepared to deliver these egg carriers from their plight.
Perhaps sensing this movement, a dozen or so egg carriers slowly crawled toward the group.
At the same time, the bloated giant eggs on their backs began to tremble uncontrollably, as if something might burst out at any moment.
"Back off first." The alert Horn immediately directed everyone to move.
As Lia retreated, she drew her bow and shot an arrow, which flew through the air and struck the head of an egg-carrying man precisely.
The expected screams did not occur; instead, the egg carrier whose life had been taken away wore a relieved expression.
However, although the egg carrier stopped moving, the giant egg on his back trembled more and more violently.
"boom!"
An arcane missile slammed mercilessly into the surface of the giant egg.
This isn't a game; adventurers won't foolishly wait for the monster to reveal its true form and fight the second phase.
Lia, Dylan, and Elisa unleashed their full power, continuously striking more and more egg-bearers with arrows and spells.
These egg-carrying men may look disgusting, but they are not a strong threat. They are relatively fragile and can be killed with a single arcane missile.
However, the number of these egg carriers seemed endless, and soon, egg carriers surging from all directions were about to surround everyone.
These three ranged attackers were clearly not enough to solve the problem, so Joel and the two assassins had no choice but to prepare for close combat.
【Spinning Slash】!
The Serpent God's Curved Blade instantly struck the giant egg on the back of a man carrying an egg.
A gushing stream of disgusting slime spurted out, and thankfully Joel dodged quickly enough, otherwise he would have been soaked, which would have been truly heartbreaking.
However, although this attack nearly split the giant egg in two, it also seemed to break free from some kind of restraint.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
A chilling scraping sound came from behind the eggshell, and scarlet eyes and arthropods appeared and disappeared.
"Whoosh!"
A worm, about half a person's length long, pale and bloated all over, with only its head fiery red, suddenly peeked out from behind the eggshell and bit Joel hard.
This speed is so fast that you can only see a blur! It's completely different from the slow-moving characteristic of the egg carriers!
Thanks to the ordeal he endured in the dungeon, cough cough, Joel, having been tempered by experience, reacted quickly and positioned the blade in front of him in time.
The giant insect's pincers clamped down hard on the Serpent God's Scimitar, its force so great that it briefly immobilized Joel.
"Please help me!"
"Whoosh!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow flew in, accurately blasting the insect's head off.
Poor Joel ended up getting soaked in the disgusting insect fluids.
Damn it.
Cursing under his breath, Joel decisively chose not to approach the egg carriers anymore, and instead rummaged through his backpack to pull out a bunch of long-range throwing tools he had bought in advance.
In addition to ordinary throwing knives, the backpack also contained a number of firebombs.
These fire pots were all bought by Joel from various adventurers on the market, but their ultimate source was actually the dungeons of [Tefal] and [Dorn].
"Boom! Boom boom!!"
Not only Joel, but also the priestesses Grace and Horn picked up firebombs and kept throwing them at the approaching egg carriers.
Under the scorching flames, the egg carrier died with relief, while the insects hiding inside the eggs roared as they broke out of their shells, crawling all over the ground, only to be burned to charcoal by the flames.
This horrifying scene, if shown to the public, would probably stop a child from crying.
The cleaning continued for more than ten minutes, until almost all the fire pots were thrown away, before the egg carriers were finally completely cleaned up.
The densely packed corpses piled up like mountains, exuding a desolate and foul stench, a stark contrast to the lush green forest the group had passed through earlier.
"This... ugh." Joel couldn't stand the stench and slime on his body any longer and quickly asked Grace to help him wash it off before he felt a little better.
"What are these strange... what are these things?"
While Joel was busy rinsing, Elisa pinched her nose, squatted down, picked up a twig from the side, and poked one of the egg carriers' corpses.
To everyone's surprise, the man carrying the egg was not quite dead yet. Instead, he raised his head, his face contorted in pain, and let out a weak cry.
"Save us, save the village, save the merciful witch..."
After saying this last sentence, the man carrying the eggs slumped down and died.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; it was the word "witch" again.
They had heard about this from the residents of the sick village who guarded the entrance to the big tree hole. Could it be that besides the gluttonous dragon, there really is a witch in this sick village?
A witch from before the Age of Fire, who participated in the war against the ancient dragons?
This is just too unfair! It's one thing to have a dragon in a level 2 dungeon, but how come there's also a character whose name alone sounds terrifyingly powerful?
A silence fell over the room. Finally, Galadun, who had been silent for a long time and was almost invisible, spoke weakly.
"keep going."
It was only four words, but it was enough to get everyone moving.
After passing the pile of corpses, the group continued downwards.
……
After reviewing the development and expansion plan for the [Taifa Dungeon], the lich Horak curiously looked at Rogue standing beside him.
"Sometimes I'm really curious, what kind of stories are going on in your head? You might be more suited to be a writer than a dungeon lord."
This is not sarcasm, but the truth.
Unlike the short-lived species that are easily fooled, Horak, a lich who has lived for thousands of years, spends most of his time in his laboratory and dungeon conducting experiments. In any case, Horak himself is a walking history book.
He knew perfectly well that the war between the king and the ancient dragon, the Age of Fire, and the witch were all just stories fabricated by this seemingly ordinary human in front of him to attract more adventurers.
Roger smiled slightly, but did not answer Holack's question. He simply said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The story is the essence; otherwise, even if a boring dungeon can temporarily attract adventurers with its various treasures, it will eventually be abandoned.
This is the truth that Rogge believes in, and it is also the real reason why he spends so much effort to recreate the Souls universe story background in this world.
