These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 219: Scent of blood

After telling us a few more things, that Sergeant Sun Xiang went off somewhere else.

The excuse that he gave was that he would leave us to prepare to enter the Abyss, the real reason was that someone was casting him looks from the side. It was clear that this person had some kind of business with Sun Xiang, so he headed off to see what it was.

I didn't mind since he had already spent quite a bit of time explaining things to us.

These things would certainly help us adapt to this camp and would help us in the Abyss when we entered it later.

After everything that happened, it was already the afternoon.

We had set out in the morning, but it took some time to get our badge and all the supplies, so it was already the afternoon.

A smart person would have waited until the next morning to go in, but a smarter person knew that there was no meaning to this.

This was also something that Sun Xiang had mentioned earlier.

The Abyss was a special dungeon in a dimensional space that belonged to the Abyss alone, so it was different from other dungeons. There was no concept of day and night inside of the Abyss, so it was very easy to lose track of time there.

But since it was a place that didn't have a day and night cycle, it meant that we would have to rest whenever we could. And that was very rare since it was a battlefield inside of the Abyss.

That was why there were special defensive arrays given to us in our supplies for us to make camp with.

Only I knew that there was a better way to protect ourselves if something happened.

Since there was no point in waiting, I turned to Wang Rong and Iris to ask, "Shall we head in then?"

Both of them hesitated for a second before they both took deep breaths and nodded in agreement.

I didn't blame them for acting this way.

Even though we had already made up our minds when we came to this place, it wasn't that easy to actually step into the Abyss.

Stories of the Abyss had been spread far and wide, so everyone already had an idea of what the Abyss was like. This Abyss dungeon was not a place that one could enter and exit that easily.

But we came with the determination to enter, so we would enter.

There wasn't much else to do to prepare since all of the preparations had been made before coming here. All that was left was actually entering the entrance to the Abyss, which was at the center of the camp.

When we arrived at the entrance, the guards there didn't stop us at all.

They just took a single look at the badges that we had and moved aside for us to enter. Since these were normal soldiers, they even saluted us as we walked past them.

There was no hiding the admiration that was in their eyes.

Even though we only had a single stripe, that didn't stop them from feeling admiration towards us. That was just the difference between those that were in the Abyss Guards and those that were assigned to guard this place.

The entrance to the Abyss wasn't actually that special, it was just a single portal that was like any other dungeon portal that we've seen before. It wasn't even bigger than any of the other portals that we had seen, it was the same size even though this Abyss dungeon was much bigger than any other dungeon that we had been to before.

The moment that we stepped through the portal and appeared in the dungeon, there was a powerful smell that hit us.

"Ugh." All three of us couldn't help twisting our faces when this smell hit us like this.

After all, this smell was a bit too intense…

This smell was a strong scent of blood.

Or at least that was the first thing that hit us when we arrived in the Abyss. But after that initial smell of blood, we could smell other things as well.

It wasn't just blood, but also the scent of rotting flesh and other things.

All around us, the ground was red like it was covered in blood and there were corpses that were scattered around. It didn't seem like anyone was interested in picking them up and it seemed like they had been here for a while with the way that creatures picked at them.

In a way, it almost seemed deliberate how these corpses had been left here.

It wasn't just the corpse of Abyss Demons that were left here, it was also the corpses of humans that were left here.

Though it was strange that there were these corpses in the first place.

Or at least the corpses of the Abyss Demon since this was a dungeon. The corpses of the Abyss Demons should have been turned into loot after they were killed.

It didn't make sense that they were scattered like this in the first place.

But after taking in the sights of the Abyss, I said, "Let's go."

Wang Rong and Iris both nodded in agreement before quickly following me away from the entrance.

This place was the place that was most likely the most observed location.

That meant that it was also the safest and most dangerous place if anything were to happen.

This was not the place for us if we wanted to achieve anything in this dungeon.

So we headed off in a random direction.

We had no idea what was inside of this dungeon since no one had been able to give us a reliable map.

The supplies officer had told us that because of the changing situation on the battlefield, there were never any good markers in the Abyss. So the only way to find anything was to actually wander around the Abyss and try one's luck.

That was why we were currently heading off in this random direction.

It would all depend on our luck.
