Chapter 295

"What? Do you have any ideas?"

"Do you know where the Corridor of Dust is?"

"..."

Elle and Leah fell into silence.

"Even if you don't know where it is, just look at the map of the Adventurers Association and you'll know."

"The Adventurers Guild is now closed."

"Then turn inside and take a look!"

"Leah...it sounds like...you do this often..."

A special smile seemed to flash across Treya's face. She walked past the two of them and naturally took her share.

"Did you just laugh at me?!"

"I know where it is. Although it's also a coincidence... take a break and tidy up. I'll see you at five in the morning."

"You know where it is why didn't you come earlier..."

Before Leah could finish her words, Treya stretched out her finger again, and she put it in front of her mouth, signaling Leah to keep her voice down.

"Take my car. If you don't go to the inn and go through the royal driveway..."

Treya glanced out the window, judging from the moonlight, it was already midnight.

"I'll definitely be there tomorrow afternoon."

Don't know why.

Obviously, it was only five minutes ago that he knew that Will had a countdown to his death hanging above his head.

But the three of them were extremely anxious.

Even Treya, who was calm on the surface, could feel that she was unexpectedly restless inside.

A strange sense of crisis came to their minds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Corridor of Dust, five o'clock in the morning——

[Task-1: Accept death (try it if possible to avoid it). 】

I don't know why...

At five o'clock in the morning, when the sun had not yet risen, Will looked up at the door of the huge dungeon, standing in its shadow, and thought of this mission in his mind for no reason.

He tightened his grip on the Tai Chi stick in his hand, and touched the three key props on his body that really improved his ability from the "external", and confirmed that they were in good condition.

"Do you accept death? Maybe it's because the way I look now looks like I have accepted death?"

That wasn't the first mission he wrote down.

But before writing each task, he actually had the task printed in his mind.

The entire "Mission System" of "making all the defeated dogs black" was formulated based on this mission.

It is based on a future in which he will definitely die.

Before he wrote this mission, there were still many years before death, or even the appearance of the Corridor of Dust.

But now, all choices were before him.

"It's just that with my current state of mind, I will never accept it."

"Because I really want to live here now."

"Live here as the Will who is loved by everyone."

He took a deep breath.

He glanced back.

The sun that left its afterglow yesterday cast a morning glow on the distant sea today. Everything is as usual, but it has not risen yet.

Touching his chest and feeling his heartbeat, he pushed open the door of the "Dust Corridor".

"Come on. This is something I should face and can change..."

"About the fate of an insignificant character's death."

Chapter 328 The final hurdle of life

Based on the existing intelligence and "bold guesses", Shona and he came to the conclusion that if he was going to "die in this world", it would have nothing to do with the "slime" originally described.

It may be an "accident" due to an unexpected change in the dungeon, the appearance of a monster that shouldn't have appeared, and finally the death of a slime.

It may also be that someone is planning all this behind the scenes, waiting for Will to walk into the trap, and finally causing a death that ends in slime.

But no matter which one it is...

When you enter a dungeon, you will definitely encounter "monsters", and when you encounter monsters, "fighting" is inevitable.

As long as he can win, it will be a victory over death.

Shouna and he listed countless monsters that he thought might appear on the first level and have the ability to kill him in one blow.

Especially the current thirty-level elite monsters in the "Corridor of Dust and Corridors", including even the empress of the Corridor of Dust and Corridors - a figure with dark skin and dressed very much like the Queen of Egypt.

"So, Little Will, your logic doesn't need to be complicated. You don't need to consider the 'destiny' you have seen. You have avoided all 'coincidences' and 'accidents' by getting here."

Shona lay on her side on the bed and said to him under the dim light of the hotel.

"Consider this a challenge - look, what is that word you always say?"

"Level."

"Yes, yes, the level - according to you, as long as you pass this level, you will be rewarded and move towards a new story...right?"

"Well, yes, that's true."

"so--"

After gently hitting his forehead with her forehead, Shona said her blessing in Will's ear:

"Go and pass the final hurdle of your life."

…

However, when he truly reached the "final level of life", the "first level of the corridor of dust and corpses" that defined his death in the original work, he found that it was not that simple.

For example, all the possibilities listed by Shona and him were rejected.

"The monster that was put in was definitely not a slime. But it wasn't in all our speculation either."

Will's thick boots stepped on the desert sand.

The texture was different from the sand on the seaside. In the endless yellow sand, he couldn't feel the "solid ground". There was still sand under this layer of sand. As long as you were heavy enough and didn't move, you would keep sinking down.

And it was very cold.

That's why he did a whole set of warm-up exercises before coming in to warm up his body so that he wouldn't be killed by the first sight when he entered the dungeon.

But even so, standing in the desert, he still felt the wind blowing from the vast desert.

In the dungeon of the Dust Corridor, it was also "winter", and as a desert, the temperature difference between day and night was even greater. The early morning without sunrise was the coldest time of the day in the desert.

"I even pulled the 'Demon Alert' to the maximum, but I didn't expect that I didn't need to be alert at all... because the enemy was standing here without hiding at all."

As he said this to himself, the air he exhaled immediately turned into a white mist in the air.

At the same time, he clenched the staff in his hand tightly.

He had just stepped into this place when he found himself "shrouded" by something.

Shuona said that there were no "monsters" on the first floor here, but only endless yellow sand that could be passed by walking out.

But, as expected, what was waiting for Will was not a clean and empty desert.

He stood in the huge shadow that blocked out the sky and the sun, and slowly raised his head - only by looking up could he see the whole picture of "that thing".

On the soft ground with only sand, a huge...

worm emerged from the sand.

Its tail and half of its body were still stuck in the sand, but it stood up and "stared" at Will -

It had a pair of disgusting huge "compound eyes" that only insects had, as well as a bamboo-like body that could wriggle, and hairy legs that only insects had.

However, unlike the tiny insects, the part that stood upright now had reached the height of about three floors.

The bigger the "monster", the more it proved to be an "elite monster". But this size was not comparable to that of the elite monsters on the ordinary floor. Will felt that it could be the boss of the boss level.

"Although the appearance of the monster is a bit difficult, can it be a little more... elegant?"

"Zi--"

The unique weird cry of this insect resounded throughout the first floor of the Dust Corridor Underground City.

Then, the insect, which was originally standing as if "still", suddenly fell down, and fell with a force that seemed to crush Will.

"Too slow for me now!"

Will's feet slipped, and the purple light in his left eye began to flicker. The movement of the insect in his eyes slowed down by half a beat.

This was the "demon power" that came from the half of the contract signed between Treya and him, which allowed his eyes to capture more "content", see all the details of the opponent, and let him see the landing point and the splashing dust of the opponent clearly.

And...

It made his sluggish body able to react in some ways that it could not have done before.

It was precisely because of this power that Will realized what was going on with the "Entak" sword style that Treya used, which sometimes looked particularly weird.

The Entak sword style does not exist, or rather, the Entak sword style for "humans" does not exist. In fact, it is to give the body to the "devil" to complete some sufficiently extreme operations, and even "move" with external forces like a puppet.

——Very weird.

Will slid over the sand and came to the side of the worm. The flying sand and dust were almost non-existent to his left eye.

Here, he saw the details of the other party for the first time.

The body of this giant worm is close to that of an incompletely metamorphosed larva, but just by observing with the naked eye, it can be found that its body does not look like a "living worm" at all.

There are a lot of holes in its flesh, and what flows out of the holes is not the blood of the "worm", but a lot of sticky and "dark brown"...

human blood.

Such blood is not "fresh" blood. Its color is the same as that left by a corpse that has been dead for more than ten days and solidified on the ground, but... it can still "flow", as if it has been added with anticoagulants and heated and mixed with water.

Besides that...

Will felt a strange touch under his feet and lowered his head...

When the giant bug landed and kept squirming, it threw out from its tattered body...

Skull. Leg bones. Ribs. Hip bones.

They all looked like "human" bones, some of which were already white, while others still had unrotten flesh.

The blood flowing from the holes in its body even stirred up a white mist after touching the cold desert.

"..."

Will suppressed his nausea and vomited, and dodged its tail strike again.

——It is a monster that has never appeared in the Adventurer's Association Monster Encyclopedia!

——It can no longer be described as "inelegant", it is simply a disgusting thing made up of various... corpses that seem to have been frozen before death.

"A monster that has never appeared in the original book, and also in the game I led."

Of course, there are even weirder things.

Not only is it too powerful to be a "monster" that can appear on the first floor of a dungeon, but it has never appeared in any description that Will knows.

The theme of the Dust Corridor is not only "desert", but of course there is also the word "skeleton" which means corpse. However, according to the information Will collected about the clearance, this "skeleton" describes the feeling of corpses that have turned into bones and are somewhat sealed in the long river of history.

But...

The worm in front of him - let's call it a "death-eating worm", the contents of its stomach are even more disgusting, which can make people directly associate it with death, or even the "corpse" that has just died.

Bang.
