You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

Yes, the adventure teams that dared to venture into the Black Whisper Caves at the very first moment of exploration were almost all LV20 adventurers who had reached the required level.

The infamous reputation of the Black Whisper Caves had already spread far and wide among adventurers, leaving them with lingering fear.

Adventurers with levels between LV11 and LV19 also meet the entry requirements for D-rank dungeons.

But fearing they might capsize, lose everything, or even their lives, they naturally dared not try it lightly.

Among these adventurer teams preparing to set off, the three main teams are the most dazzling.

The first to bear the brunt was Amata's right-hand man, the guild master of Emerald Town Adventurers' Guild—

The Golden Dawn team, personally led by Veronica.

Veronica's fame is the best advertisement in itself.

The fact that the guild leader's assistant took a special leave to form a team to challenge the new dungeon is itself a topic of much discussion.

At that moment, Veronica, accompanied by four fully armed and confident teammates, bid farewell to Chairman Amata.

"President, the gates to the Black Language Cave have been opened, and [Golden Dawn] is about to set off."

Amata nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Veronica's gleaming and well-equipped gear, and at the team members' high spirits and fighting spirit.

He opened the desk drawer, carefully took something out, and handed it to Veronica.

"As your former boss, I don't have anything particularly good to give you. This is just a small token of my appreciation and support."

Veronica looked closely and saw that what she was being handed was half a shriveled piece of cheese with several clear teeth marks on the edge!

Her delicate eyebrows instantly furrowed into a knot.

"Uh... President, I appreciate your kindness, but this..."

Her teammates beside her exchanged strange glances.

The president's support...

It's like giving someone a piece of stale cheese that's been sitting for who knows how long and has been bitten.

This is so... shabby!

Amata looked at Veronica's reaction and gave a wry smile:

"Kid, you don't think I'm just trying to fool you with these leftovers, do you?"

Veronica's eyes made no attempt to hide her doubt, "Isn't that right?"

"cough!"

Amata cleared his throat and said seriously:

"This is indeed a piece of cheese, and it has indeed been aged for many years. But it is definitely not an ordinary cheese! This is a... legendary consumable."

Veronica and her teammates looked on in disbelief; it sounded more like a fantasy.

Amata wasn't annoyed and began to recount the legendary origins of this cheese:

"About three hundred years ago, when the master apothecary Sterling was developing the legendary 'invincible potion,' he made a mistake and some key ingredients got stained with a small piece of cheese he had left over. He thought it was useless and casually threw it into the trash can."

"Later, a dying, terminally ill stray cat somehow found the cheese and cautiously licked it..."

Hearing this, Veronica frowned even more deeply. The thought that the cheese had not only been discarded but also licked by a sick cat made her stomach churn.

Amata ignored her amazing expression and continued recounting the miracle:

"Then, something incredible happened! The cat, which had been barely clinging to life, suddenly became lively, strong, and healthy!"

"After this strange phenomenon was discovered, the man retrieved the cheese. To verify its effectiveness, he found a goat and cruelly cut its neck. As the goat lay dying, he quickly fed it a tiny bit of the cheese..."

Amata's voice rose slightly as he spoke, carrying a sense of awe as he recounted a legend:

"Right before everyone's eyes, the fatal wound on the sheep's neck healed instantly, and its lost life force was restored in an instant. It was simply... like a miracle!"

"Is...is it really that effective?"

Veronica was still somewhat skeptical, but her gaze returned to the unassuming cheese covered in teeth marks, finally taking on a more cautious and inquisitive look.

"Absolutely true!"

Amata said with certainty:

"I went through countless hardships to obtain this small piece when I was young. It was thanks to it that I was able to save my life several times in the perilous dungeons where death seemed certain, which led to my achievements today."

He solemnly placed the cherished piece of cheese into Veronica's hands:

"Keep this safe. If you encounter mortal danger in the deep cave, even if you only have one breath left, take a bite of this and you will be fully restored and reborn!"

This time, Veronica didn't hesitate and carefully put the legendary cheese block into her inner pocket.

"Remember, use it sparingly!"

Amata solemnly instructed:

"This piece of cheese is probably only enough for your whole team to take three bites! If you still can't handle the Black Language Cave after finishing it in three bites..."

He sighed, his tone turning stern:

"Then the guild will probably have to consider issuing a second [reclaiming bounty] for Black Language Cave."

Chapter 93 The Imposter Gluck

Veronica and her team, carrying cheese, had just left the Adventurers' Guild when they encountered the other two most prominent teams.

“Miss Veronica, it’s a pity that the Adventurers’ Guild hasn’t issued any new raiding orders for Black Whisper Caves, otherwise I would really like to try to see if I can be the first to clear it.”

Bran, the captain of the Watcher's Blade squad, who came from out of town and had heard of its reputation, walked over with a bow and arrows on his back. His words seemed calm, but they were actually full of gunpowder.

The implication is that if there were still raiding orders, the Watcher's Blade team would definitely be the first to clear the raid, and Veronica's team would be completely outmatched.

Faced with the other party's provocation, Veronica stood tall and responded with a contemptuous smile.

"For our team, there's no need for a raiding order for dungeons like Black Language Cave, because it's too easy."

There was a pause.

"Of course, it is necessary to issue a pioneering order given your strength, since it is difficult for you."

Bran never expected that a single sentence would give the other party so many openings to mock him.

His face turned ashen, and he let out a few cold laughs.

"That's true. In that case, how about we make a bet ourselves to add some fun to the simple Black Language Cave?"

Just as Veronica was about to respond, a voice drifted over.

"We, the Starfall Spear, certainly can't miss something this interesting."

Another team that attracted the most attention was the Starfall Spear, who came all the way from afar after hearing about the Black Whisper Caves. Their squad leader, Patrishi, was an orc with a robust build and a very obvious scar between his eyebrows.

This knife mark wasn't left in some dungeon; it was something I carved myself to make myself more recognizable.

He is a ruthless person.

Approaching them, Partrich looked at Bran and Veronica with great interest and disdain.

"I think neither of you would refuse to let the Starfall Spear participate in the bet."

Neither Bran nor Veronica spoke.

They all knew the orc's background very well. Patricia's brother was the leader of the only orc group on the adventurer continent. That orc group was currently ranked sixth among adventurer teams, but now it had become third.

After all, the top three team leaders were punished for their anti-testing mechanism, which affected the three adventurer teams as well. Their points were deducted significantly, causing their rankings to drop considerably.

This orc group had not participated in the Black Whisper Caves exploration order and had remained aloof.

No one knew what the orcish group was really thinking.

Because of his brother, Partrich's squad was well-equipped and powerful, and no one dared to underestimate them.

"What, are you afraid of losing to our Starfall Spear? Fine, since you have this concern, I won't make things difficult for you."

The orc Parthis took the amethyst staff off his back and shook it.

"If I were you, I would also avoid the Starfall Spear; it would be a wise choice."

Upon hearing this, Veronica frowned.

"Tell me, how do you want to bet?"

Bran spoke with a livid face.

"The three adventure teams will be divided into three groups. Whoever clears the level first, the members of the other two teams must permanently leave the adventurer profession and never set foot in it again. They will have to go back to where they came from. What do you two think?"

Enraged by Partridge, Bran made the most ruthless bet.

Veronica didn't even think about it.

"I agree, deal."

He paused here.

"It seems that some people have been scared off by the bet."

This statement was obviously directed at Partrich.

Patricia looked at Bran and Veronica, and after a moment her expression turned serious.

"No problem, I hope you won't regret it later."

The news of the three most prominent adventurer teams making a bet quickly spread throughout Emerald Town, and almost all the adventurers who came from afar followed the three teams to the Black Whisper Caves in the Dark Hills.

Witness the ultimate winner of this bet.

Amata, standing in the Adventurers' Guild office in Emerald Town, was in a good mood.

"Emerald Town, Emerald Town, you have never been as lively as you are now. I hope it will continue to be so."

If this situation continues, his performance in the Adventurers' Guild will be among the best, and it's not impossible for him to eventually become the Grand Master of the Adventurers' Guild based on his achievements here.

The future looks bright.
