Chapter 415: Cave Exploration, the First Adventure Harvest

Yun Mu tossed the steel fork into the space within the Divine Blood Pendant and turned her head to observe the current situation on the field.

It could be seen that the Fishmen in the cave had been mostly cleared out, and Laidun was leading the Dwarfs to clean up the Fishmen's corpses.

"Plop!"

One corpse after another was thrown into the underground river, and Yun Mu asked with some curiosity: "Is it really okay to just throw them into the river like this?"

"Of course it's okay." Seeing Yun Mu come over, Laidun explained to her: "These Fishmen originally lived in the underground river; throwing the corpses in will attract other creatures to dispose of them. As for the river water..."

"Ever since the Portal leaked, the creatures in this river have all been contaminated. Even if we wanted to deal with it, we don't have the time for now."

"I see."

After dealing with the corpses of the underground Fishmen, the group continued forward along the Damp cave.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar light gradually appeared ahead, and the surrounding space became increasingly spacious.

It could be seen that on a flat surface with clear traces of having been manually leveled, camp tents of the same style as those Laidun and his group carried were set up.

"Stop!"

A rough voice rang out from afar, and within a few seconds, accompanied by the "thump, thump, thump" sound of running, a squad of about forty Dwarfs blocked them outside the camp.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, Laidun." Laidun walked to the very front of the team holding his War Hammer and greeted the leading Dwarf.

"I know it's you." The leading Dwarf's gaze swept sharply over Yun Mu and the others, then he looked at Laidun and said in a somewhat cold tone: "I must ensure that you are Laidun himself, and not some other demon or monster disguised as him."

Laidun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Understandable."

He did not feel angry; in fact, he believed that the other party must have their reasons for being so cautious, and he himself was quite satisfied with this.

It was just that.

"How should I prove it?" He asked the Dwarf in front of him.

Seeing Laidun so cooperative, the expression on the leading Dwarf's face became much softer, and he said: "First, we need to find a few colleagues who know you to confirm whether you are Laidun himself, and then we will confirm whether you have been contaminated by the power of the 'Portal'."

The meaning in his words was very clear: that for now, he still did not believe Laidun was who he claimed to be, and even if it really were him, he would still have to undergo a so-called contamination test.

"Of course, no problem." Laidun nodded and then stated a few names.

"They are all partners who know me."

"..." The leading Dwarf did not reply, but whispered a few words to a Dwarf Soldier beside him, then patted his shoulder firmly: "Go."

And Yun Mu had heard what he just said.

"Go into the camp, ask who knows a Dwarf named Laidun, and have them come over."

Not letting the other party go find the people Laidun mentioned, but instead asking in the camp who knows Laidun? He is indeed a very cautious person.

It is a bit hard to imagine that this guy is actually a Dwarf.

Yun Mu apologized for her stereotype again... Before long, the Soldier brought a few Dwarfs over; the number did not match the names Laidun had just reported, as a few were missing.

"My god, it really is you!" Among the crowd, several Dwarfs became excited upon seeing Laidun's face.

However, before they could get close to Laidun, they were stopped by that captain.

"Stop, his identity cannot be confirmed yet."

"Can't confirm my ass! I've been through life and death with Laidun, I know the length of his 【redacted】 clearly, I can swear on my own dick that this is definitely Laidun!"

Just as Yun Mu thought this guy's statement was already explosive enough.

The squad leader who stopped the Dwarfs spoke up, saying: "The disguises of those monsters are exactly the same as the real person; never mind the length of the 【redacted】, they can even imitate the depth of the 【redacted】 perfectly."

"If you think you can judge if it's the real person just by appearance, I think your head must have been caught in a door."

"If they are really that powerful, then wouldn't even..."

Shut up, stop talking about 【redacted】, and 【redacted】 won't do either!

"Ahem."

The squad leader Dwarf coughed softly at this moment, interrupting the Dwarfs' unstoppable topic, and said sternly: "In any case, each of you ask a question that only Laidun himself could possibly know..."

"Hehe, I'll go first."

The Dwarf who had previously sworn on his own dick gave a hehe laugh, a lewd expression appearing on his face.

He rubbed his hands and asked Laidun in a mysterious tone: "I ask you, Laidun, what color underwear does my little sister like to wear the most?"

"..."

Hearing this, almost everyone present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, yet Laidun couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words.

"Stop bluffing here, you're an only child, where would you get a little sister?"

"Hey, that's where you're wrong." The Dwarf in front of Laidun wagged his finger: "Actually, about a month ago, my dad and my stepmother had a new daughter. I wanted to find a chance to tell you, but I never had the opportunity."

"As for the underwear... how could a baby have a favorite underwear?"

After finishing his words, he turned to look at the squad leader: "This is indeed Laidun himself."

"Well done." A trace of a smile appeared on the squad leader's face. At this point, he already somewhat believed in Laidun's identity, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed, so he continued: "Next."

"Hehe, Laidun, you should know how many girls like me, so the number of girlfriends I've had is..."

"The answer is zero, no woman would ever like a lewd guy like you."

"Hey hey, that's a bit too much, I'm going to be sad..."

"Next." The squad leader abruptly interrupted the second Dwarf's words.

"Oh~ Laidun, remember the Rowing Competition we participated in together last year? The champion of that competition was..."

"It was you... Can you stop trying every way possible to show off your status as a champion? Also, the competition we participated in wasn't rowing, it was Ice Skating Competition."

"Oh~ I knew you couldn't forget about that, Laidun, as expected we..."

"Next." The squad leader interrupted again. About ten minutes later, after all the Dwarfs' questions had been answered one by one by Laidun, the squad leader successfully let Yun Mu and the others inside.

However, he clearly had not let his guard down, bringing a large number of Dwarfs to surround them.

And he led them to a tent inside the camp.

"Wait here." After he finished speaking, he ducked into the interior of the camp.

Not long after, a human clad in mage robes walked out from the encampment, followed by the squad leader who had just gone inside.

"No problem." That mage first glanced at Laidun and evaluated.

Then he shifted his gaze to Brenna, and then to Lucy.

"Hmm?" The mage paused for a moment when looking at Lucy, then he shifted his gaze toward Yun Mu.

"."

"Mage Woluendan?" The Dwarf standing behind him noticed that something was wrong with the other party and hurriedly called out his name.

However, the next second, this mage named Woluendan leaned forward and fell to the ground with a "Bang."

But perhaps fearing a misunderstanding, the mage hurriedly shouted before losing consciousness: "They have no problem, wait until I recover and then—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"This—"

Almost everyone present could see the culprit behind this Mage Woluendan fainting; as for the reason, Yun Mu and Lucy had a slight clue.

If this guy could judge whether others were contaminated by the Portal, then naturally it was possible for him to see the uniqueness of Lucy and Yun Mu.

Not to mention Lucy, who was once an Epic-level Blood Clan powerhouse, as for Yun Mu's titles, besides the so-called Favorite of the Gods and Brave, didn't she also have God of Fear and Plague? Ah!

Besides that, she had also sporadically added Divinity many times.

It is estimated that it was because he saw something he shouldn't have that this mage named Woluendan was scared into fainting.

Perhaps it wasn't being scared into fainting, but simply suffering from the backlash of a spell.

This incident tells us not to pry into others at will; it's fine if you encounter someone weaker than yourself, but if you provoke someone you shouldn't, there will be big trouble.

【Dwarf trust value +10, current trust value is: 80 (Ally)】

The Game Panel's notification sounded at this moment; Yun Mu didn't expect that this could also increase the Dwarf's trust value.

Looking at it this way... should she scare this Mage Woluendan more? Yun Mu thought with a bit of dark humor in her heart.

Of course, it was just a thought; she wasn't that bad.

Since the other party didn't come to provoke her, she naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble with them.

"In any case, congratulations on returning to the team." The Dwarf squad leader looked a bit complicated as he carried the Mage Woluendan, who was lying on the ground, on his back and said:

"I will notify the General about this matter, tomorrow." He paused, and the Dwarf squad leader stood up: "Tomorrow there will be a combat meeting to seal the Portal; someone should come to notify you to go, and also..."

"I will have someone arrange a place for you to rest tonight. If possible, I hope you can go to the Record Office in the northwest corner of the camp and explain what happened during the time you were away from the team."

"That's all, I have things to do, I'm leaving first."

After he finished speaking, he carried the mage's body into the tent, then left this place and led the Dwarf squad to continue patrolling.

At the same time, a sturdy Dwarf aunt found Yun Mu and the others.

She very enthusiastically led them to the camp's rest area and told them where they could use the restroom and where the place to eat was.

On the way, Yun Mu also asked about the location of tomorrow's meeting, which was right in the center of the camp, inside that largest gray-black tent.

"Phew, it's incredible." After Yun Mu and the others sat down in the tent, Brenna couldn't help but exclaim: "It's like we are truly experiencing things that happened in the past, although many places are quite strange..."

"Are we going to personally participate in the disaster that the Dwarves once faced? I have never heard of that 'Portal'; perhaps this is the reason why the Dwarves hate magic?"

Everyone had either been fighting or traveling on the road; now that there was a rare moment of rest, Brenna blurted out everything she had been thinking about earlier.

"That 'Portal' gives me a very bad feeling." Compared to the somewhat excited Brenna, Lucy appeared somewhat solemn.

"Do not be careless; dying here is no different from the real world."

"I know." For some reason, every time she heard Lucy speak, Brenna had a very strange feeling.

Close, friendly, and convincing, just like her elder.

However, what she didn't know was that, in a sense, Lucy really could be considered her elder, only this elder was at the level of an ancestor from thousands of years ago.

After all, Lucy had once told Yun Mu that Brenna had a trace of Blood Clan lineage, though that lineage had faded to the point where it would never manifest.

"Since that's the case, let's not skip time tonight." Yun Mu suggested at this time: "Rest for a night and restore our status completely first."

"Fine." Lucy nodded slightly.

"I agree." Brenna also raised her hand to indicate agreement.

In fact, she had intended to try the feeling of camping in a tent earlier, but because she was unsure of the situation inside the Dungeon at the time, and was a bit embarrassed, she didn't say it.

Now that Yun Mu had taken the initiative to propose it, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, they had indeed been a bit exhausted from the journey, so it was time to have a good rest.

As for how to allocate the space inside the tent... well, I knew it would be like this.

In the evening, Yun Mu lay in the middle, while Brenna and Lucy lay on her left and right sides respectively.

Among them, Lucy pressed tightly against her side, holding onto one of her arms and not letting go, which seemed to be a subconscious action caused by the Blood Clan's sensitivity to the scent of blood.

As for Brenna, who was originally a bit embarrassed, seeing Lucy like this, she also took the initiative to move close to Yun Mu and pressed tightly against her.

Sigh, this life of being surrounded by beauties.

Enjoying the faint, lingering sensation of touch on both sides, Yun Mu slowly closed her eyes.

The night passed without incident.
