By the time Fu Yun and Xie Zongyuan arrived at the mouth of the demon, they were already panting for breath. "Damn it, who… who exactly… built this cave entrance… in such a steep… place?" Xie Zongyuan was on the verge of passing out; he never expected that reaching the Demon's Maw would require climbing a mountain! If it were just a regular climb in the conventional sense, Xie Zongyuan wouldn't have minded; it would only be a matter of time and effort, which wasn't a big deal for players like them. But this climb was a climb in the truest sense of the word. The entire mountain wall was almost at a 90-degree angle, almost forming an acute angle, requiring them to grab onto the rock face and climb upwards bit by bit. Not walking! Climbing! Fortunately, Fu Yun and Xie Zongyuan possessed skills that allowed them to barely climb in this manner, which was how they managed to climb up little by little. An ordinary person would probably have been stopped at the foot of the mountain wall from the start. After climbing up, both of them were basically exhausted and needed to sit down and rest before they could move again. At this moment, Fu Yun noticed that there were actually two sets of footprints in front of the Demon's Maw.
"The footprint on the left should be that of an adult male, with a height of about to meters." Listening to the first half of Fu Yun's analysis, Xie Zongyuan thought it made sense, but he was speechless when he heard the second half. Between and meters… that's like saying nothing at all! I can see that much too. "However, apart from this adult male's footprint, the other one… is a bit strange…" As he spoke, Fu Yun touched the footprint next to the human footprint. Calling it a footprint was a bit strange because, in essence, it wasn't a footprint at all. It was more like a large mouth had taken a bite out of the ground, removing a chunk of soil and leaving a trench. Even Xie Zongyuan didn't initially understand why Fu Yun defined this thing as a footprint. But in reality, Fu Yun had a skill that could identify the direction of footprints on the ground. And this skill identified the trench on the ground, which meant… this thing was indeed a footprint! Although it looked nothing like a footprint, it was indeed a footprint left by some kind of being! "What exactly did that big shot encounter…" Fu Yun swallowed, unable to imagine what the owner of this footprint was, but the only thing he could confirm was that it must be an extremely dangerous existence! Could it be… Fu Yun suddenly realized that he had heard that the possibility of an Agent existing in an Instance Dungeon was greatly increased. Could this be the legendary Agent? Fu Yun had once had the good fortune to see an Agent in a dungeon, and he would never forget the Agent's terrifying strength. The Agent looked like a pitiful little girl, wearing an exquisite and elegant maid outfit. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with her. It wasn't until a large number of worms emerged from the Agent's body, devouring Fu Yun's dungeon teammates, and then attaching the teammate's arm to her body, that Fu Yun finally understood just how terrifying Agents were! If there was such a terrifying existence in this dungeon, Fu Yun couldn't even imagine it! Moreover, according to the footprints, the third player, the big shot, should have also entered the Demon's Maw, which meant… the big shot might not have realized that a terrifying Agent was tailing him, ready to take his life at any moment!
"Not good! The big shot is in danger!" At this moment, Fu Yun didn't care whether his stamina had fully recovered or not. The thought that the big shot's life might be threatened by the Agent at any moment made him jump up from the ground and say to Xie Zongyuan, "Hurry! We have to find a way to save that big shot!" Xie Zongyuan hadn't reacted to what had happened and stood up dumbly, following closely behind Fu Yun, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" "It's an Agent!" Fu Yun's face was filled with panic. "There might be an Agent following that big shot. Do you know how dangerous that is!" "Damn it!" Xie Zongyuan's legs were already shaking just hearing the word "Agent". "Really? If that's the case, then isn't the big shot's chance of survival very small?" Fu Yun shook his head, the panic on his face not diminishing at all. "It's hard to say, but that big shot must be in danger right now. We have to rescue him as soon as possible!" As soon as he finished speaking, with a thud, Xie Zongyuan fell to the ground. Fu Yun turned around and saw a gradually sinking pit on the dark ground, trapping Xie Zongyuan inside. Countless tongues stretched out from inside, wrapping around Xie Zongyuan's body, trying to drag him into the pit and turn him into a skeleton in the tomb. "Damn it! How disgusting!" Xie Zongyuan's face was pale. "What is this thing!" Fu Yun's expression changed drastically when he saw the scene in front of him. He didn't expect that the difficulties would begin as soon as they entered the Demon's Maw! Before he could react, more tongues had already emerged from the surrounding ground, wrapping around Fu Yun's body, determined to bury the two of them in this dark abyss. Without any hesitation, Fu Yun decisively took out an orange-yellow spear from his waist. 「Name: Thunder Spear」 「Type: Weapon - Spear」 「Quality: Extraordinary」 「Equipment Requirements: Level 20 or above」 「Effect: Attacks come with lightning, which can cause a certain probability of paralysis to the enemy」 「Evaluation: The sound of the spear is like thunder!」 With a thrust of the spear, the unstoppable spear tip landed on the tongue coating, but it did not cause any damage. Even the roaring thunder, wrapped around the surface of the tongue, had no effect. Fu Yun's expression changed instantly. --- At the front of the cave, Xu Tong also saw this scene. Less than five meters away from him, a large number of tongues spread out like seaweed in the pit, trying to engulf everything around them. Just looking at the scene, Xu Tong could already feel how terrifying it would be to be entangled by these things. "Is there any way for me to completely avoid these things and still pass through smoothly?" The Executioner replied, "I have a way." "What way… Damn it!"
Before Xu Tong could finish speaking, he felt his body lift into the air. The Executioner, who was eight feet tall, picked him up around the waist, actually holding him in his arms in a princess carry. "Wouldn't it be better if I carried you over?" Xu Tong: "Do you think you can hide the fact that you're harassing me by saying such things with a calm face?" Executioner: "I didn't want to hide it." Xu Tong: "Unbelievable!"
