"Boss, it’s really dark here, meow..."

"Maru, if you’re going to act coquettish at a time like this, I’ll have to enroll you in night school."

"Eek! It’s just darkness, after all. This is the perfect stage for me as an assassin!"

In the pitch-black environment where you couldn’t even see your hand in front of you, Maru’s silver teeth suddenly gleamed. Just from the shape, you could tell she was wearing a rather confident smile.

As she closed her mouth, she instantly blended into the darkness. You could only hear a few "bang bang" sounds coming from not far away, as if a fight was taking place.

"Boss, done! Let’s run!"

"Otherwise, these skeletons will resurrect in a while!"

In the pitch-black environment, the hurried footsteps of Leon’s Strategy Group suddenly echoed, and only a few vague outlines could be seen moving in the darkness.

The level of darkness here might not match that of the Abyss within the Little Londo Ruins, but it’s not far off. It can be called the second darkest map in the entire Sain Dungeon.

In such a pitch-black environment, ordinary people really can’t see anything. Perhaps you’d only notice something strange if the monster was right in front of your face. Even if Sain openly placed a few pitfall traps on the roads, the hit rate wouldn’t be low in this situation.

And when dark places are mentioned, people might often think of caves, basements, and such that block out light. This place is indeed located underground.

Because the name of this place is the [Giant Tomb].

It’s an ultra-dangerous place connected to the Fire Transmission Ceremony!

During the era of the Yanor Kingdom, there was a tunnel next to the Fire Transmission Ceremony that led directly to the [Great Tomb] area underground. At the end, you’d encounter Sain’s version of a meat pigeon, "Endless Reincarnation," which was once quite popular.

In Scameroon, the Fire Transmission Ceremony is still the same Fire Transmission Ceremony, but all the surrounding areas have changed, with the area named [Great Tomb] directly transformed into the [Giant Tomb].

This new area was created by Gong Qiying, who merged the original Underground Cemetery with the Giant Tomb, turning it into an entire entity that appeared before adventurers.

According to some fragmented information from this place, it seems that the legendary [Tomb King Nite] might be here!

Since even such big figures appearing in the imagery could be staying here, adventurers are mentally prepared for the intensity of the Giant Tomb. However, considering its direct connection to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, an area usually so close in proximity shouldn’t be that high in difficulty. Therefore, before entering the Giant Tomb, people’s speculations about the adventure intensity here were also quite polarized.

Until someone really mustered the courage to walk into the Giant Tomb, ending all the discussions.

The intensity of the Giant Tomb was not on the same level as the Undead Town Outside the City that could be reached with just a few steps! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Leon and his group were warmly welcomed by the local monsters as soon as they entered.

For instance, there were flying skulls in the air capable of a Big Bang, skeleton soldiers that could endlessly revive even when smashed to bone dust, wheel skeletons moving in groups, clawed skeletons crawling swiftly on the ground, and even giant skeletons capable of firing light cannons with a wide-open mouth!

Leon always felt that the number and types of skeletons he had seen in a single day in the Giant Tomb were more than he had seen in his entire life.

The variety in form and abilities made it impossible to guess what these skeletons might have looked like in life, especially those that could shoot light cannons from their mouths—what was that about!?

Moreover, the terrain here is simply unfriendly to humans, with numerous hidden mechanisms that must be triggered to continue exploring, contributing to the arduous exploration difficulty of the Giant Tomb.

Even the rebel army, previously in dire need of supplies, dared not venture deeply here, concluding that the effort was not worth the reward, at least from their initial feeling about the first half.

Since then, apart from a few determined adventurers, no one has thought about exploring the Giant Tomb again.

Even the very idea of wanting to explore the Giant Tomb has taken on a masochistic tint.

Only organizations like the Strategy Group would press on despite all the heinous tricks, because their pursuit has shifted from material to spiritual.

After all, having their name appear on the First Clear Stone Stele—this sense of achievement and fulfillment can ignite the Strategy Group adventurers’ interest two hundred percent!

Leon and his group are in such a state right now.

After meeting and sharing situations with Fingerley and the others, he dove back into exploring the Underground Cemetery.

And it wasn’t just his Strategy Group here; Dal also brought his Fran Guard to form a temporary team with everyone, reaching the fifteen-member limit.

The entire group has paper stats above Level 100, where else could you find such a luxurious formation?

This united team would completely dominate a map like the Undead Town Outside the City, but against the Giant Tomb....

It might be an exaggeration to say they’re barely surviving, but they themselves feel that this level of power is just right.

Whether accidentally falling into a pitfall trap, getting surrounded and pummeled by monsters, taking a wrong turn, or facing Death Miasma head-on, their increased Life Force ensures that they won’t die instantly when faced with these situations. The tolerance rate is greatly improved, bringing a subsequent rise in exploration efficiency.
