Chapter 17 - Dungeon Part 5

********

"Ah... there's something... now... is it okay?"

When Tara casually looked at Dash she shyly turned around hiding her chest and groin with her hands and arms. Dash's face was more of a pretty girl than a boy's, so she was curious, but it was a man's body.

However, when Tara saw this, she became more and more worried about the role of the small family.

"Oh bad... then let's go, is the kunai okay?"

Tara just hangs their sword with a loincloth and asks.

"Hah... only ten kunai lined up on the belt and stopped. And I have a sword... I have... I have."

Dash said so, showed a leather belt with a kunai on it, and then turned his back, and a straight long sword without a sled was hung diagonally on his back by a rope.

"Let's go. The entrance to the dungeon is at the river. Follow me again this time."

"Hello... I know... I understand..."

Their conversation was still awkward, but Tara was sure they would get used to it.

Follow the shallow river water to the bottom of the rock protruding from the cliff, then take 10 steps upstream from there, turn right and take 5 steps, the river suddenly becomes deep and you can't stand.

If you dive there, run to the bottom of the river, and swim further upstream, you'll see a whirlpool that looks like river water is flowing in, so jump in.

"Picharn, Picharn"

When you reach the dungeon at the bottom of the river where the sunlight doesn't reach, the bright stones stuck to your forehead automatically glow and illuminate the surrounding area. It is a small cave with a width of about 1 meter and a height of about 2 meters.

"It's... amazing that this place is at the bottom of the river... amazing... amazing... amazing... amazing."

Dash, who had come straight away, glared at him with vengeance and disappointment at the sudden change of scenery.

"Okay, okay. If it's hard to say, I'll allow you to speak politely. The conversation has been going downhill lately, so let's compromise recklessly."

"Thank you...! Tara-sama...no...Tara!"

Dash smiled happily and bowed deeply.

This dungeon was also a young dungeon that had just been created when Karne discovered it, and I heard the boss had beaten the growth process for now, but the spirit ball was too young to recover.

When asked how he was able to find the dungeon, he said it was a hunch due to having been an adventurer for so many years. As you pass through many dungeons, you will finally be able to understand the air in the dungeon, and as you approach a certain distance, you will be able to recognize that it is there.

However, even if you can recognize its existence, you can find entrances, such as entrances that only seem ordinary but suddenly become holes when you step into them, or those that have entrances deep in the riverbed like this dungeon. say it's not easy.

Moss grows here and there on the rough rock surface, so if you don't proceed carefully you may slip and fall, so be careful step by step and continue looking at your feet.

"Dangerous, lie down!"

Dash, who was following him, screamed, so he bowed on the spot.

There was an overhead crash, and a fist-sized black object fell right in front of Tara.

When Tara sees him, the monster Gengorou with a shiny and shining black shell is pierced by Dash's kunai and dies.

It was written in the dungeon capture memo I heard from Karne that it was a monster that required attention to fly at high speed, bite throat whistles, and even defeat large animals. Tara reread it last night, but she forgot.

"Thank you for your help."

As the kunai is pulled out of the monster's belly, it is thrown back at Dash and bows.

"No ... safe and above all."

Dash smiled with a faint smile. A reliable bodyguard.

After that, they encountered blood-sucking monsters like the leech monster and the Sawa crab, and the Sawa crab monster was edible but easily damaged, so hit them with the hilt of a sword to make them faint, tie their legs with ropes and hang them at home. They succeeded.

This dungeon also had many branches like a maze, but Tara remembered the directions I heard from Karne last night, followed the shortest route, and reached the deepest room in about two hours.

Tara heard from Karne that he was there, but it was a giant catfish monster. Bigmouth with two mustaches on the body without glowing black scales. The monster, which would reach 3 meters in length, was so strong that even a human could drink it with its mouth.

"Ku! I don't know if the catfish will cry, but the giant monster roars. I'm sure it delights in its prey after a long time. With a body that big, we can't make it through the cave passage we're in, so it's impossible to wander around looking for food. "

"Oh, Lord!"

Sprinkle the sword on the top level, and when you close the gap, you swing it down like bamboo, but when you put the small sword on the hard skin, the sword slides to the side.

"Chi…Tou!"

Without giving up, Tara tried to slash horizontally from the left towards the thick body, but "Buzz Zulu" again, the sword slipped on the surface of the body and couldn't slash through the sky.

"gumo"

"Bashern"

The big catfish wiggled its gigantic body and swung its tail, so when Tara hurriedly flew back, a cold drop flew to "Picchan". The movement is not very fast, but it is a powerful punch.

When you touch your cheek with your hand, you will find something slimy, transparent, and liquid. As it turned out, the surface of the catfish's body was covered in a thick liquid that made the tip of the sword blunt. It is similar to the sticky eel and loach.

"Shushushushu"

"Zudzruzzuruzurutsu"

Dash throws a kunai, but somehow the kunai slides to the surface without sticking to it.

"No, I can't attack," shouted Dash.

"Weapon! "Suppan... Bagoon"

Once again, the big catfish swung its giant tail, and when we jumped back it turned and swung its tail down from above.

The rocks on the ground cracked and scattered with the sound of the earth. It has tremendous destructive power, and if you eat it like this, there are no lumps.

"Trust in your friends and lend them their power, the Holy Spirit of the abundant earth. Use that technique to shake the earth and strike at your enemy's feet. Earthquake!"

If the sword doesn't work, it's magic, luckily the monsters don't move too fast. It is possible to throw it at a certain distance. Moreover, the other party cannot escape from this space.

"Glittering" The big catfish's legs started to shake violently.
