Chapter 490: Entering the Dungeon

Lin Yu was not foolish enough to let the ant army just come and attack. She had sent her Stealth Ant daughters to scout the layout of this forest in advance.

One of the dungeons was highly suspicious.

After noticing that there were people with horns identified as part of the demon race entering and exiting this dungeon, she and her daughters were almost certain that the Demon King Reincarnator was hiding in this dungeon.

And now, the great army was pressing the city.

The four hidden entrances of the dungeon had been completely surrounded by the ant clan.

The Earth Dragons were positioned at the back of the ant army.

“It seems they do not intend to come out and fight,” one of the daughters said, frowning slightly.

“Nonsense, if an ordinary person is surrounded by so many monsters, they would surely die without escaping,” the leader of the ant army—the brave one—muttered softly.

“But if it were me, hum, I wouldn’t be afraid of any number of monsters! Even if I ended up bloodied and captured after fighting…”

“What does Little Rainbow think?”

Lin Yu instinctively ignored the brave one’s voice and looked at Magic Rainbow, who was also riding an Iron Armored Ant, or more accurately, riding on her sister’s back.

“Maybe, just like He Qiwen said, these demon races are weak and are too scared to come out.”

“Or perhaps they plan to wait until we enter the dungeon, possibly using the layout or terrain inside to deal with us. But if that’s the case, the demon races in the dungeon might not be as strong as we think. After all, they made this decision without a clear understanding of our actual strength, based only on a rough idea of our numbers,” Magic Rainbow thought for a moment and smiled as she spoke.

“What do you think is the possibility?”

“The daughter didn’t dare to judge carelessly; after all, there is a chance the other side is hiding their weakness, planning to make us underestimate them, and win at the lowest cost—though this possibility is very low, it cannot be ignored.”

“Anyway, let’s go down and take a look.”

At that moment, Red Pupil, who was being ridden by Lin Yu, spoke up; she had now changed into the form of the Iron Armored Ant.

“As long as I’m here, Mommy will be safe.”

“Hmm, I will listen to my sister.”

…

After a short time of discussion, they finally divided into four teams to enter the dungeon.

Apart from leaving half of the ant tribe on the surface to standby and keep watch, each of the remaining teams consisted of one thousand ants, which were further split into five squads of two hundred ants each; they followed one after another into the entrances of the dungeons.

The first entrance’s team was led by the human-like Dragon Mother Flossie, Ice Dragon Orna, and Fire Dragon Fan.

The second entrance’s team was led by Flossie’s “best friend,” the Lord of the Beast Mountain Range, who was a cat-like monster that transformed into a cat-eared girl, along with Wind Wolf Huangmao.

The third entrance’s team was led by Darkling Stalker, Stealth One, Weak Sound, Purple Cloud, and Purple Mist.

The fourth entrance’s team was personally led by Lin Yu, along with Red Pupil, Magic Rainbow, Army Lady, Lvzi, and the little girl hero.

Once they made their decision, the four teams stepped into the dungeon almost at the same time.

This dungeon seemed very old, and rather than calling it a dungeon, it was more accurate to say it was a deliberately designed maze, reminding Red Pupil and the others of the underground maze in Cold Sky Mountain Range.

Speaking of which, these dungeons buried deep underground on the continent might also be connected to the gods, and they could even be remnants from the War of Reincarnators…

Inside the dungeon, there were many paths, but Lin Yu’s team, guided by the hero He Qiwen, did not need to hesitate when choosing which path to take, and they also did not need to split up.

However, just because they chose the right path did not mean everything would go smoothly.

Whoosh—whoosh—

As Red Pupil, now a young girl with black hair, led the way down the hallway, bricks suddenly flipped open on the walls, and then, iron arrows whistled out from the dark holes left by the bricks!

Judging by the speed of the arrows, their power was probably not weaker than that of the attacks from the Class B adventurers, who were good at archery.

Moreover, at a glance, there were at least hundreds of bricks that had flipped open on the wall.

These arrows seemed to have eyes of their own, all aimed at Red Pupil, who stood in the middle of the hallway, and then—

Ding ding ding ding…

He Qiwen stared in disbelief; the arrows did not pierce the black-haired girl’s body as she had imagined. Instead, they made a metallic “ding ding” sound when they hit her skin.

The traps fired an arrow every three seconds, so with over a hundred traps, more than thirty arrows would shoot out every second, one wave after another, almost without pause.

The sound of “ding ding” continuously came from the black-haired girl as she defended against the arrows while moving forward, smashing each mechanism with her fists.

Army Lady and Lvzi behind her also stepped forward to help.

The blonde girl bent her bow and shot arrows to destroy the traps, while the green-haired girl threw daggers coated with acidic liquid; as soon as a dagger pierced a trap, it would corrode it into a pile of scraps.

In just a few minutes, the arrows in this corridor were completely destroyed by the three girls.

Because they could not join in, the hundreds of daughters following behind clapped and cheered.

After Red Pupil changed out of her clothing that was almost in tatters from the arrows and put on a new outfit, the girls continued to move forward.

…

Meanwhile, the other three teams also encountered these arrow traps.

In the first team, these powerful arrows could not pierce Dragon Mother Flossie’s scales, but Flossie did not have the patience to destroy them one by one and instead parted her lips—

The next moment, a scorching breath of fire shot out from her, instantly destroying the traps on the walls and scorching the walls on both sides to a charred black.

In the second team, the speedy Lord of the Beast Mountain Range and the equally fast Yellow Hair began to compete, turning into two blurred shadows that raced through the corridor.

The traps often were barely ready to activate before these two would scratch them into tiny pieces with their raised claws.

As for the third team, just as they arrived at the corridor without stepping inside, Darkling Stalker noticed the traps hidden in the walls on either side. Then, this beautiful woman with gray hair and silver eyes simply lifted her hand, and in the next moment, hundreds of shadows shot from the darkness towards the unactivated traps like darting snakes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!…

Almost at the same time, the hundreds of traps were destroyed, clattering and scattering all over the ground.
