Chapter 80: Trap

"Karoso, please don’t move." Fake Teresa sounded much nicer to Karoso, "There’s something wrong with this Wax Museum."

"I know." Karoso pointed to a bottle of blue potion in the wax, "Do you need to replenish your magic?"

"Not now." Fake Teresa shook her head.

Karoso walked ahead and picked up the potion casually, "I’ll hold on to this for you, don’t drink the potion inside easily."

Fake Teresa remembered her chat with Karoso about the potion, so she just nodded instead of saying much.

Soon, others came over, and the leader asked Karoso, "How did you know there’s a problem with this wax figure?"

"It looks different in color from the other wax figures," Karoso gave a simple answer, "Everyone, I prefer to go alone."

"Teresa, why don’t you take them, and I’ll take Neymar?"

"No!" fake Teresa firmly refused, "This dungeon is different from the last one. There were more people in the last dungeon, and you are heading to the hidden room."

"This time we have fewer people, and there will be resistance. It’s better to stick together."

"Hmm," Karoso nodded, "After that, if I trigger something, don’t stop me. You know, I have my own way of clearing dungeons."

"Um… okay," fake Teresa reluctantly nodded, "But why did you ask me to handle it instead of dealing with it yourself?"

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Karoso.

Seeing these looks, even netizens who were immersed in anime characters sensed a hint of pressure and eerie atmosphere.

"Have you forgotten? My sword has the fire attribute," Karoso said, "These are all wax figures. If I intervene, the heat might attract more monsters, causing more harm than good."

"So that’s how it is," fake Teresa said, looking surprised.

["Wow, Master Karoso’s acting skills are better than the young actor’s," he thought.]

["He acts just like it’s real," he observed.]

["These monsters can indeed help in fighting, so Master Karoso is trying to conserve his magic power and cards," he explained.]

["This dungeon is very difficult, so the potions you find are real and safe to drink," he mentioned.]

"I know you are sad about losing a teammate," fake Teresa said, looking at the adventurers. "But now we must focus on something more important. As adventurers, I believe you can all face death maturely."

"I know it’s not your fault. When he died, we didn’t notice anything unusual either," the leader said sadly.

"Let’s go," fake Teresa said, looking at the wax figures in the room. "Investigate everything thoroughly. There must be clues in the initial room, and if not, we must find out the truth behind his death to prevent another tragedy."

Upon hearing this, everyone started to move.

Karoso looked at the bullet comments, which were getting lively.

[Hey hey hey, this map has a hidden room that can help in this dungeon. I wonder if this path can be taken.]

[Unfortunately, there is no place to scratch cards in this instance.]

[Remember the beautiful wax figure? That can be carried out as an art piece and worth a lot.]

[Do you think we have received any of the sixth-tier legendary materials? They all exceed the dungeon limit.]

[Let’s try what you guys suggested later, and we’ll guide Master Karoso step by step.]

[Yes, talking too much can be confusing. Let’s first get useful things in the starting room, Master Karoso, you take a look…]

The people searched around, but the room only had various wax figures, nothing else.

They seemed cautious, perhaps fearing triggering traps on monsters like Karoso did.

Karoso first searched around casually, but nothing happened.

"I found something different!"

Just then, the leader spoke up, "There are words on the pants of this wax figure!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.

They saw that the words on the pants were: Adventurer Association, special reward.

"This person used to be an adventurer?" The leader started sweating.

"Could it be that he was originally an adventurer, and then turned into a wax figure?" An adventurer swallowed nervously.

"Are you saying that everyone here is alive?" Fake Teresa looked at the two.

"If they are alive…" Karoso took a few steps back, then suddenly swung his fist backwards, hitting the stomach of a wax figure.

Bang!

This wax figure did not come to life, his belly was pierced by Karoso!

"It’s human skin!" Karoso said firmly, "Outside is a layer of wax, inside is human skin, and inside the skin is empty!"

The crowd gathered in front of Karoso’s wax figure.

It was a very beautiful looking wax figure of a girl, worth at least a million or two as a bride price.

"Teresa, let’s cut open this wax figure and see what’s wrong with it," Karoso said to fake Teresa, "I read somewhere that cutting it vertically might have unexpected effects."

"Isn’t this too hasty?" fake Teresa frowned, "What if there’s a trap inside?"

Karoso patted fake Teresa’s shoulder with his small hand, "That’s why I need you, only you and I have the ability to deal with unexpected situations."

"Not fearing problems now means being ignorant, the more we know, the greater our chances of success!"

"Hmm." Said fake Teresa as she furrowed her brows slightly, then waved the sword in her hand, cutting the wax figure in half.

Swish!

Two little snakes emerged from the broken wax figure and darted towards fake Teresa.

The sword in fake Teresa’s hand was light and nimble at this moment, she gently swung it and blocked the two snakes.

Snap!

Fake Neymar exhaled a breath of cold air, freezing the two snakes in mid-air, causing them to fall to the ground.

Before fake Teresa could speak, Karoso stepped forward and stomped his feet hard.

Bang, bang…

He crushed the snake heads under his feet, releasing wisps of dark energy from inside the snakes’ heads.

Hiss…

Just then, the sound of a snake hissing filled the entire room.

Crackle…

All the wax figures turned towards them, as if coming to life.

"Oh no, it’s a trap!" fake Teresa shouted. "Quick, let’s get out of here!"

"I told you to go, I’ll stay behind!" Karoso said as Bodink Flameblade was already in his hand.

"We’re a team, stick together!" fake Teresa took a few steps back, as many wax figures moved swiftly towards her.

"Neymar, you go first, I’ll handle it with Teresa!"
