The scorching star in the sky wantonly emits its astonishing heat.
This heat is enveloped in the sunlight emitted by the blazing sun, scorching the ground.
Below, the vast, gigantic forest with its tall canopy interlocks, blocking these sun rays from entering their interior.
In this forest seemingly as tall as giants, only the higher and larger can absorb the nutrients accompanying the sunlight of the scorching sun.
Because the tall canopy is layered, blocking all the sunlight, the forest’s interior compared to the outside’s scorching weather is much cooler, and of course much darker.
Kane and his team continue to move towards their target, which is still in the forest’s core area. Judging by the map’s range, they may have only just crossed the forest’s outskirts and entered the interior.
Since their departure in the morning to now, they’ve encountered many animals. These animals, as expected, are extraordinarily large, like oversized versions of their normal counterparts outside.
Many beasts, seeing Kane and their size, wanted to test their strength, but were intimidated by Kane’s occasionally emitting aura, fleeing with their tails between their legs towards the distance.
"Oh no!"
As Kane and his team advance into the forest, they suddenly hear a sound from the side. Looking towards the source, they see Lilulu entangled by a vine.
Perhaps being in the forest has set free Lilulu’s nature, and she often plays among the various flowers, plants, and trees around.
Most trees and plants provide her protection.
Seeing Lilulu wrapped by a vine, they were sowhat astonished. However, as teammates, they imdiately prepared to attack the vine to rescue Lilulu. But before they could act, Lilulu broke free of the vine with her bare hands and snapped it.
She then grabbed the remaining vine, which was trying to recoil, and pulled it outward forcefully. Eventually, she suddenly let go, holding the broken vine, and due to inertia, spun twice in the air before stopping, while the vine in her hand had broken from the middle, not removed from the root. It seems the vine sacrificed part of its body to ensure its survival.
Watching Lilulu’s series of actions, Kane and the team rembered that though Lilulu’s physical strength was the weakest in the team, she was still a silver Explorer, and the vine was rely of copper level at best.
Thus, it was run off by a mage with sheer physical strength.
"If we go further, we will encounter moving plants," said Lilulu, seemingly from so unknown intelligence.
Listening to Lilulu’s words, Longbei didn’t mind and muttered to himself, "I wonder if these moving plants are edible, or taste good."
Having been in this dungeon for just a few days, Longbei developed a tendency to want to taste everything he saw, to see if it was tasty.
However, it’s inevitable. This dungeon is such that the roadside leaves, branches, flowers, grasses, shrubs, roadside stones, and clear river water could all be edible, even delicious.
So can you really bla Longbei? You can’t; anyone would be confused when they ca here.
After a minor episode, everyone continued to move forward.
After half a day’s journey, they avoided many inexplicable and aningless attacks.
According to Yoyo, they have crossed more than half of the forest, and soon they will reach the area where the Sli Skirt resides.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Upon hearing the loud noise from afar, they imdiately paused their steps and hid cautiously behind a giant tree.
Due to the dense and tall leaves in this forest, Cotton Candy couldn’t float in the sky continuously as a scout like outside.
After entering this forest, Cotton Candy, rarely during dungeon exploration, remained with Kane and the team.
Seeing the source of the constant rumbling from afar, Kane opened his Eagle Eye to take a closer look.
In the extre distance, he spotted a large cluster of magic reactions appearing in his visual range; the large cluster of magic reactions, upon careful sizing, seed to be so kind of massive quadrapedal creature.
With each movent, its four limbs created a massive noise, indicating its size and weight.
Seeing the size displayed by the gigantic creature during its movent, Kane sketched a simple depiction and handed it to Yoyo for comparison and identification.
Yoyo quickly found the target, since such a large size located in this area is highly distinctive.
The creature surprisingly was a seven-star level.
A seven-star level creature ans its power ranges from at least a silver bottleneck level, up to gold.
Although categorized as seven-star level creatures, the differences between them are trendous.
And the one creature Kane and his companions could hear now was precisely a golden-level one, an organism whose strength should be in a relatively complete state at the golden level.
Such a creature was not sothing Kane and his team could deal with. Even the most arrogant person wouldn’t think they could attack a golden-level with silver-level strength, let alone a golden-level creature in perfect condition.
Even though Kane and his team were invincible at the silver level, advancing to the golden level was a watershed, one in the sky and one on the ground.
The creature making the noise was a green giant elephant in essence.
According to the illustration on the manual, the reason this elephant was green was because its surrounding skin was covered with moss and vine plants, with many small animals inhabiting it in a mutually beneficial relationship.
The elephant could reach heights of over 20 ters and lengths of over 30 ters, not to ntion its powerful trunk.
As a magic creature, it also possessed many magic abilities.
The magical capabilities of a golden-level creature were beyond what Kane and his team could withstand at the mont.
But there was good news; this kind of creature generally had no hostility towards explorers, belonging to those that wouldn’t bother you as long as you didn’t intentionally provoke it, even if you pass in front of it.
Because this elephant does not eat at or grass but survives on photosynthesis and underground energy.
Fortunately, when the dungeon issues the ultimate seven-star hunting task list, it doesn’t specify fixed targets; it’s considered a pass if you can hunt one.
One can only imagine the gold content of seven-star creatures.
However, it is rumored that this dungeon itself did not initially have creatures of such exaggerated strength; they grew due to the dungeon master’s cultivation and developnt.
After understanding this monster’s information, Kane and his companions relaxed a bit and then began to slowly move toward the direction of the noise, watching the elephant moving in the forest from a distance.
As the elephant traversed places abundant with trees, Kane and his team thought it would knock down trees, but unexpectedly, the trees moved away, clinging to its skin.
Though the elephant was of enormous size, every movent did not harm any plant in the forest, including flowers and grasses crushed under foot; they seed to spring back into shape with even more vitality after it lifted its foot.
Looking at this massive creature, Kane couldn’t help but feel a bit shocked.
Because the elephant, coupled with its appearance harmonizing with plants under the sunlight, emanated a sacred natural feeling.
After watching for a while and feasting their eyes, Kane and his companions bypassed the elephant and continued advancing deeper.
This giant elephant successfully brought Kane and his team back to an explorer’s mindset.
Recently, due to various delicious foods in the dungeon and the weak monsters’ prowess, coupled with relaxation upon returning to the circular restaurant, it seed like a leisure tour.
The series of circumstances had kept them from properly entering the state they should be in during exploration. This encounter with the giant elephant brought them back to the state an explorer should maintain - constant vigilance and readiness to face danger in a perfect posture.
It reminded them that this dungeon wasn’t a tourist destination or a gourt restaurant.
This was a silver dungeon, a dungeon of over 800 years history, filled with nurous powerful monsters. Do not relax your vigilance excessively, nor let the various delicious foods along the way dull your senses.
In the latter part of the journey, due to Kane and his group’s agile actions and constant vigilance, and avoidance of so unnecessary attacks.
After all, the spoils available in this dungeon were rely those aty corpses. Kane couldn’t use his magic stone to absorb energy; he tried but failed. After these creatures died, if there were magic ingredients, it would be considered as prizes exploding out, Kane couldn’t absorb the magic power of the magic ingredients.
"Whirr, whirr!"
Finally, they encountered the first sli on this journey.
It was a water-blue sli, through its transparent skin, you could see its gel-like interior.
Though the gel interior could reflect so colors, it was still transparent, even showing so broken branches and leaves engulfed within.
The entire surface of the sli appeared soft and gelatinous, with no features visible, just a simple colorful gel sphere.
It seed to have detected Kane and his team, from its slow dragging speed on the ground, it suddenly changed, rolling quickly towards Kane and his group.
Seeing the rolling sli, Kane summoned a crossbow arrow beside him, shooting it under control.
The sli had no intention of dodging, the crossbow arrow plunged directly inside it, and eventually compressed further into its body with its rolling, without any visible damage.
This sli seed immune to physical attacks.
