Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 940 - 616: Dragon Tomb and Water Summoning Village

The current movements of the people from the Warrior Country can be classified by labels.

Ordinary folks are simply living their lives honestly, staying within their small domains.

The nobles, who respect etiquette, wait bitterly in the Imperial Capital for the War Festival that just refuses to continue, unsure of when this waiting will end.

Merchants chasing profits gather near the Imperial Capital and Black Stone City; those in the Imperial Capital are there for the War Festival, while those in Black Stone City are naturally there for the Sain Dungeon.

As for those purely seeking new fuel for their life fire or those with chaotic and diverse labels, it goes without saying that they gather in the Sain Dungeon.

This group can be further divided into three major categories: those focusing on the Battle Festival, those loyal to the Dragon Feast, and those exploring the world freely.

Any ordinary Dungeon that manages to attract any one of these three groups can thrive, while the Sain Dungeon has attracted them all in one go.

Regardless of how a certain City Lord feels about this.

Anyway, the original residents of Black Stone City are overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed with profits.

The influx of people into Black Stone City is more than in the past hundred years combined, and even the quietest alleys are now bustling. Thanks to the advantage of their local resident status, even if locals set up a stall selling grilled sausages at their doorsteps, they can earn considerable income.

If local residents can earn this much, then professional merchants naturally earn even more. With the operation of various commerce guilds, Black Stone City has become a hub for various goods, as its population ensures everything can be sold.

The adventurers coming here also feel they have profited, what with the Dragon Feast and the Battle Festival. Although most may not touch the edge of these two for now, exploring the Sain Dungeon daily, collecting items to sell or leveling up with enough Lune, adventurers of all levels find their lives fulfilling.

Everyone feels they've earned something, making for the best state, rendering Black Stone City harmonious and joyous.

In this scenario where "Sain Dungeon" related topics dominate the mainstream, commissions related to the Sain Dungeon within the adventurer's guild have surged, recently accounting for seventy percent of total commissions.

This is a rather frightening number, considering that behind each commission might be an entire adventurer team, bringing the influx of people to the Sain Dungeon to a new peak.

The ones most affected by the emergence of these commissions are the adventurers.

A lively morning in the Black Stone City adventurer's guild.

"Oh, those girls who once abandoned me, do you see what I have in my hands? This is a dragon's heart! Can your current boyfriends afford it? Huh? Answer me!"

"Everyone, take a look, this is the Big Scythe used by the Dead Birth. Smell it, the aura is quite imposing."

"Brothers, no need for many words. Watch me use the [Melting Furnace Hundred Beasts' Tongue] to eat twenty pancakes with ease today. This Melting Furnace Hundred Beasts is something you can trust."

A cacophony of voices echoed in the adventurer's guild basement, making anyone approaching feel dizzy, as if demons were sealed in there.

In reality, those sounds were coming from adventurers recording videos.

Ever since Prince Lanle arranged a "otherworld magnet short video" with smugglers, people suddenly found this farce-like program quite interesting, and with the recent mass production of Image Stones by Giant Stone Dungeon making prices plunge on the market, a trend of video recording emerged.

However, this world doesn't have the internet, so something like a short video app won't emerge. The footage these adventurers are recording is not for short videos but more like serious videos mixed with potentially funny but not necessarily funny contents.

Such as the earlier examples: One is explaining the dragon's heart, another is introducing the best pairing of the Big Scythe with War Ash, and another is demonstrating the use of Greg's crown.

After all, people wouldn't spend money to purchase contents purely for hilarity if there's no solid material.

The usual educational videos were quite serious and even dull, and whether the current change has led to improvement or deterioration, no one can say for sure.

Originally, the adventurer's guild basement was provided for rest, but recently it became a fixed filming location for these video makers.

However, upon leaving the Dungeon for the surface, adventurers resumed their usual sharing of adventures.

"Recruiting a temporary teammate for a Copper Level team, our need is a magician specializing in healing or support, exploration destination: Water Summoning Village."

"Is there any team challenging the Omen Demon? This lone wolf can't manage by himself!"

"Let me tell you, based on my thirty-eight attempts against Greg, theoretically, as long as you first destroy the Flying Dragon's corpse upon encountering Greg, he can't get stronger. If you can't destroy it, you can use a Slime to block the dragon's mouth."

"Theoretically? Senior, didn't you practice it yourself?"

"Can you guess why I attempted it thirty-eight times?"

The adventurer's guild remained as noisy as ever, brimming with vibrant energy and vitality.

However, a gathered group of particularly active adventurers attracted the most attention. Though their strength wasn't the greatest, they always liked to join the latest discoveries in the Dungeon whenever the frontier Strategy Group disclosed new findings.

Currently, they're discussing a new discovery in the Sain Dungeon.

A place known as Water Summoning Village.

"I heard that place is inhabited by Undead Creatures known as the Dead Birth, and there's a quite troublesome Elite Monster, something like Call Ship."

Someone placed a video on the table, showing a small water bay, where a purple spectral small boat quietly drifted above the water, with a humanoid, yet clearly non-human, entity seated atop.

Although it's not firsthand observation, just by looking at the images, people felt a strong sense of undead creatures, and the perceived temperature seemed to drop during the day.

"This is the Call Ship."

The adventurer pointed at it and said:

"The discoverers weren't members of the Strategy Group, so they couldn't defeat it. According to the intelligence from the discoverer, this thing has the ability to teleport and summon the Dead Birth. Though its main body may not be strong, its abilities are quite troublesome, so..."

He looked around and said: "Who wants to join me in challenging this thing? Our goal is the first kill!"

"Me! Me! Me!"

No one gathered here was unwilling; each was super enthusiastic, with nothing making them happier than joining the excitement at the first opportunity.

"Great, great, that's the spirit!"

Their noise attracted disdain and complaints from others, but fortunately, they were self-aware and soon quieted down.

The leader suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"I have an even more secretive piece of information here. Do you want to hear it?"

"Just say it, don't keep us in suspense!"

Urged by everyone, he held back for a minute before speaking mysteriously:

"It's still intelligence from the person who discovered the Call Ship. It's said that before he was beaten to death by the Dead Birth, he stumbled off a cliff."

"Is it a fortuitous encounter?"

"It is a fortuitous encounter! Guess what he saw before his head was smashed?"

This time he dared not keep them in suspense further, as someone already raised their fist.

"He discovered a teleportation gate, a functioning teleportation gate, in the grass below the cliff!"

Everyone gasped, their heartbeats quickening.

A teleportation gate? That involves unknown teleportation — which adventurer can resist its allure!

Someone slapped the table directly, "What are we waiting for? Let's go find it quickly. Maybe we'll be the discoverers of a new area!"

Others had eager expressions, and apart from those gathered here, other adventurers who had been eavesdropping with magic stood up and walked towards the door.

Even if it's not for the title of "discoverer of a new area," just bringing the relevant information to the Golden Lion Commerce would earn a handsome reward. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Hehe, guess why I didn't rush off after learning the intel?"

Noticing others' movements, this person sneered and said, "Of course, it's because someone already went, and the teams are quite strong, including the Strategy Group."

"Ah..." Everyone let out disappointed sighs, and the adventurers who were already out the door walked back, nonchalantly resuming their chat with friends.

"But judging by the time, those teams should be returning soon."

Just after he spoke, the adventurer's guild door was pushed open, and several dusty people, still exuding an atmosphere of fatigue, came in, calling for water from the attendants.

"Hey, it's the Skyrim Strategy Group from the Yanor Kingdom!" The person who was sharing intel suddenly got excited and said:

"They are one of the teams that went to the Water Summoning Village. Come on, let's go ask them!"

National boundaries were invisibly erased by adventurers' strong desire for knowledge, and all the adventurers from Warrior Country crowded over.

The Skyrim Strategy Group's leader, Luluwo, had already heard the voices of this group and didn't wait for them to come over before saying directly:

"Dragon Tomb."

"What?" People didn't understand the meaning.

"I mean, the place the teleportation gate is connected to is called Dragon Tomb," Luluwo repeated, "and it's located in Galide, not a particularly new area."

After she finished speaking, she coughed twice, looking genuinely exhausted.

"Dragon Tomb... the name sounds impressive and powerful, could it be filled with dragons?"

"Could the problem of too few dragon hearts finally be resolved?"

"Luluwo, please tell us more!"

Facing people's pleas, she sighed helplessly, recalling while speaking:

"I saw there... the largest giant dragon I might ever see in my lifetime."
