A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

Seeing some familiar faces, plus the Mich clan insignia on the weapons bay,

Lynn recognized the person who came.

Mih Familia, leader, LV2 adventurer, dog-person Naza, Naza Eliseis.

...

The photo shows Gulnazar.

40. A boastful newcomer

The leading dog-woman was none other than Naza Elise, the leader of the Mih Familia, at level 2.

She has long, smooth brown hair.

Those amber eyes lit up slightly when they saw the badges on Lynn's chest and Chunji's body.

“They are adventurers from the Astrea Familia!” A friendly smile appeared on her face.

"Hello, I am Naza, the leader of the Mihe Familia. I just saw that you were in danger."

Her tone was gentle, and her eyes were full of friendliness.

Lynn was about to explain that he was training Chunji, not that he was actually in danger.

However, Naza didn't give him any time to explain.

She turned to her companions behind her and said, "Take out our extra supplies and give some to them."

"Yes, Commander!" Her companion immediately took out a bunch of things from her backpack.

Naza walked up to Lynn and handed her the items she was holding.

"These are our extra supplies, including recovery potions, stamina potions, and some spare torches and ropes."

"The underground city is fraught with danger, especially since you are newcomers. These things will come in very handy."

Lynn hesitated as she looked at the supplies that Nazha had ordered someone to bring over.

I always feel a bit uncomfortable accepting gifts from others without any reason.

Naza seemed to notice Lynn's hesitation, assuming it was just a safety concern, and smiled approvingly.

"You're very vigilant, which is a good thing."

"However, as a senior, it is only right for me to give some small help to the newcomers."

"Besides, we've always had a partnership with the Astrea Familia, so you can take it for now!"

"We may not need it now, but in the dungeon, unexpected situations can arise at any time."

"These things might save your lives in a critical moment."

Lynn could tell she meant well.

He no longer refused and reached out to take the supplies.

"Thank you very much, Team Leader Nazha. We will remember this kindness," Lin En said solemnly.

Naza waved her hand, "It's nothing."

She looked around at her surroundings again;

Are you planning to continue training here?

"The clown monsters and dungeon lizards on the second floor are not as easy to deal with as goblins."

"If needed, we can help you clear out the monsters in the vicinity and take you with us."

Lynn shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, Captain Nazha, we can handle it ourselves."

He knew, of course, that Nazha meant well, but he was still confident in his ability to operate on the second level.

Moreover, you need to use the Swallow Return skill frequently to improve your proficiency.

Moreover, Yan Fan has one advantage: he doesn't need to expend too much physical strength.

Upon hearing this, Nazha looked somewhat helpless and, like a matriarch, began to explain to Lynn.

"Newcomers are always like this, they always think that dungeons are nothing to be afraid of."

She sighed and said earnestly, "I've seen too many newcomers who are just trying to be tough."

"They thought they had some talent, or that they could rely on their family background, so they took the dangers of the dungeon lightly."

"The results of it?"

"At best, they'll be seriously injured and have to flee back to the surface in a sorry state; at worst... they'll be trapped in the underground city forever."

"The horrors of the dungeons cannot be fully understood by experiencing them firsthand."

"It will gradually wear down your pride and tear apart your confidence until you become like a true adventurer, knowing awe and caution."

"The cunning of the clown monster, the sudden attack of the lizard, and the possibility of mutated individuals."

“Each of their attacks could be fatal.”

"I hope you understand that this is not a simulated battle on the ground; this is a real life-or-death struggle."

"Don't let your guard down just because things are going well for a while."

"Furthermore, don't take chances with the unknown just because you think you're capable."

She pointed to the dimly lit passage in the distance.

"This path leads to the third level, but there is a particularly dangerous area between the second and third levels."

“There are often some enhanced monsters that spawn there, and their strength far exceeds that of other monsters on the same floor.”

"Many newcomers suffer great losses because they rush in without thinking."

"So if you decide to go further, you must be extremely careful."

Lynn listened attentively to Nazha's advice and said gratefully, "Thank you, Team Leader Nazha."

He smiled and said, "We have noted everything you have said."

"We won't go to the third floor for now. We'll train here first and get familiar with the environment on the second floor."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Nazha, though still somewhat worried, knew that newcomers always have to go through a period of trials.

She nodded, about to say something more.

at this time

A strange scraping sound came from the rock wall above.

The sound was faint, yet carried a creepy, sticky quality.

Lynn's eyes sharpened instantly.

He looked up sharply.

A slender black shadow, like an upside-down bat, suddenly dangled down from a crevice in the rock wall.

It was a mutated clown monster.

It has a twisted body and its skin is a sickly grayish-white.

Its limbs are exceptionally long, with sharp, black claws at the tips, as sharp as blades.

41. You must have absolute trust in me.

The mutated clown demon had a slender body, grayish-white skin, long limbs, and sharp claws.

It hangs upside down on the rock face, like a spider waiting for its prey.

"It's a clown demon!" Naza's expression instantly turned serious.

"And it's a mutant!"

"This kind of monster is much more troublesome than ordinary goblins and lizards!"

"They release a mist that obscures vision and conceals their voices, making them adept at surprise attacks!"

"Even LV2 adventurers can get injured here, and the unlucky ones might even lose their lives!"

The voice has not fallen,

A layer of light gray mist suddenly filled the cave, spreading rapidly and enveloping everything in its vicinity.

Visibility blurred instantly and decreased dramatically.

At the same time, the surrounding noise was swallowed up by some force, and it became unusually quiet.

Chunji instinctively gripped Lynn's clothes tightly, nervously looking around.

This sudden change sent chills down her spine.

"Watch out!" Nazha shouted.

"Everyone, move together! Back to back! Archers, listen for sounds and pinpoint locations! Galf, be ready to heal at any moment!"

"Vina, Lina! Raise your shields and defend! Protect the backline!"

She decisively directed the dwarf sisters and the healer.

He then took out several magic stone lamps that emitted a faint glow from his backpack and threw them around.

Although these magic stone lamps are not bright enough under normal circumstances, they can be used for navigation in the fog.

Immediately afterwards, she took out a bottle of clear medicine and quickly sprinkled it into the air.

A refreshing herbal scent spread through the mist, seemingly offsetting its effects on the senses.

The dwarf twins immediately raised their massive tower shields, protecting Lynn, Chunji, and the healer Galf behind them.

"boom!"

A dull thud was heard, and the tower shield shuddered violently.

Clearly, the clown has launched an attack.

“It’s over there!” Naza’s voice rang out from the mist, her longbow already fully drawn.

"Watch out for its claws, they're poisonous!"

Whoosh!
