A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Upon seeing this, Zhou An raised his hand and punched the snake's jaw hard.

A muffled thud!

The snake's head exploded, and the force continued to rise along the snake's body, causing it to explode repeatedly.

Nothing remained; everything was reduced to a bloody mist by Zhou An's punch.

This also filled the dry well with the smell of blood.

"Huh? What's that?" Zhou An suddenly noticed a ball of light floating in mid-air.

Zhou An raised his hand and the ball of light fell into his hand.

[Spirit of the Blood Python]: The soul of the third-tier demonic beast Blood Python. It seems to have the effect of upgrading the Dry Well. It can also be swallowed to increase mental power by 4 points.

Zhou An didn't eat it; it seemed like he could upgrade the dry well.

Then he looked at the huge treasure chest at his feet.

[Golden Treasure Chest]: There is a chance to obtain rare items, food, water, talents, etc., but there is also a certain probability that it is accompanied by danger.

[Open the Golden Treasure Chest?]

"Activate!"

The next instant, a cloud of black mist appeared.

"Roar~~!" A roar that sounded inhuman rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a level three zombie appeared.

The zombie's head instantly split open, revealing a hideous maw covered in sharp teeth that lunged at Zhou An.

A loud "BOOM!"

The fireball shattered the opponent's head.

The terrifying flames quickly burned the corpse to ashes, and the stench disappeared into the dry well.

It was still a ball of white light that appeared.

Zhou An reached out and grabbed.

[Spirit of the Zombie]: The soul of a Tier 3 zombie, which seems to have the effect of upgrading the Dry Well. It can also be swallowed to increase mental strength by 4 points.

It has the same attributes as the Blood Serpent Spirit.

Only then did Zhou An look at the golden treasure chest.

There are five things inside.

【Air Water Storage Device】: Absorbs water molecules from the air and stores them, producing 100ml of pure water every hour.

[Unlimited Pistol]: A pistol with unlimited ammo. It has decent firepower, but be careful as the gunshots may attract a terrifying presence.

[3 self-heating hot pots, 3 packs of instant noodles, 10 packs of compressed biscuits]

"Trash." Zhou An curled his lip.

Then Zhou An remembered something and opened the survival panel.

Name: Zhou An

Age: 24

[Dry Well]: LV1+

【Strength】: 10

【Spirit】: 10

[Physical Constitution]: 10

[Talent]: Lucky Hunger

[Items]: Blood Serpent Spirit, Zombie Spirit, Air Storage Device, Infinite Pistol, Self-Heating Hot Pot x3, Three Packs of Instant Noodles, Ten Packs of Compressed Biscuits

There was a plus sign next to the level of the dry well, and Zhou An immediately tried clicking it.

【升级枯井需要1级妖物之灵X3，一级材料X3，亦或者2级妖物之灵X1，一级材料X1，亦或者3级妖物之灵X1】

Seeing this, Zhou An had no reason to hesitate and immediately proceeded with the upgrade.

He immediately saw the zombie spirit vanish.

Immediately afterwards, the dry well underwent another tremendous change.

The green algae disappeared, the rock walls became smooth, and electric lights appeared on both sides.

A toilet was even found at the bottom of the well.

Some furniture also appeared, such as beds, sofas, and dining tables.

Even the lights above have switches, right next to the bed.

The bottom of the dry well has been transformed into a single room of 15 square meters with one bedroom and one living room.

The ground was also covered with wooden planks, making it look like a home.

Suddenly, Zhou An discovered that he could upgrade, and all he needed was a level 3 demon spirit to upgrade.

[Continue with the upgrade?]

Zhou An immediately escalated the situation.

The wellhead has expanded, now reaching a diameter of approximately six meters.

The furniture and appliances below are more complete.

"This dungeon is a bit boring," Zhou An said, shaking his head as he lay on the bed.

He can't leave this place, and he can only explore ten times a day. He'll probably have to wait seven long days.

"Wait, I can't leave the dry well, so what about the benevolent and malevolent entities?" Zhou An suddenly realized something.

He immediately summoned both the malevolent and benevolent forms.

Chapter 183: Out of the dungeon?

After the evil and benevolent entities appeared, they floated up and flew towards the well opening without Zhou An giving any instructions.

When they tried to fly out, they were still blocked by the light membrane and could not fly out.

The two immediately fell to the bottom of the well.

The malevolent entity spoke up: "Old Ben, it seems the two of us can't get out either, so we should also be considered part of you."

Zhou An did not answer, but stroked his chin and pondered.

He quickly thought of something and said, "Try turning into something else, like the zombies or blood pythons from before."

Upon hearing this, the evil and benevolent entities immediately brightened up and then quickly transformed themselves.

Tier 3 zombies and Tier 3 blood pythons.

This time, after transforming, they tried again, and this time, they easily passed through the light membrane.

"Old Ben, it's really working, we're out." The evil entity lay at the well opening and said to Zhou An below.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately flew up as well.

He also turned into a zombie and easily passed through the dry well.

In an instant, Zhou An smiled.

"I didn't expect to get out so easily. I never thought of that before," Zhou An said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Let's go see what's in this fog." Zhou An immediately headed into the fog.

Both the malevolent and benevolent entities followed Zhou An into the mist.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

During this period, all around was fog, endless fog.

However, they did not encounter any strange or monster-like creatures.

The roars continued to echo from within the mist.

Zhou An and his group flew there at top speed, but when they arrived at the location of the roar, there was still nothing there.

This left Zhou An and the other two completely puzzled.

"What a terrible place this is! There's absolutely nothing here."

"We've been walking for so long, but it seems like the ground hasn't changed at all. Have we been going around in circles?"

“No, we’re not going in circles, because we haven’t returned to the dry well.” Zhou An shook his head.

“No, I feel it’s very likely,” the benevolent entity suddenly said.

"How so?" Zhou An and the evil entity both looked at the benevolent entity.

The benevolent entity remained silent and transformed back into its original form.

Just as the benevolent entity reverted to its original form, the surrounding mist suddenly dissipated.

Then a dry well appeared directly in front of them.

Zhou An's pupils contracted slightly, and before he could speak, a powerful suction force instantly struck him.

It directly sucked the benevolent entity into the dry well.

Before long, the benevolent entity that had turned into a zombie flew out again.

The three stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment. The dry well remained there, unmoved.

The three of them, knowing full well what was going on, walked into the mist. After walking several hundred meters, they returned, and the dry well had disappeared.

"Because we are monsters now, we can't find the dry well."

“If I’m not mistaken, Ben, if you use the power of the dry well, the three of us might be sucked into it,” the benevolent entity said.

"I'll give it a try." Zhou An nodded, immediately summoned the panel, and then used his exploration attempts.

The terrifying suction force returned in the next instant.
