The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

While Jiang Chen was still outwitting Lilith...

At this moment, in the luxurious lord's mansion within the succubus territory.

A succubus, about the same age as Lilith and with an adorable appearance, was wiping away tears.

Before her stood a man who bore a striking resemblance to Lilith, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.

"What! Lilith has disappeared in the Nightmare Clan's territory?"

"Father, I don't know either... I clearly told her that we were in conflict with the Nightmare Clan, but she insisted on taking the risk..." Avril sobbed as she spoke.

"That rebellious daughter, she's been restless ever since she was found!"

"What is she doing in the Nightmare Clan's territory at this time? What does she want to do?"

Hearing Gerald's words, Avril secretly felt smug.

"I think I heard my sister say that she seems to have a friend in the Nightmare Clan... so my sister probably went to see her friend."

"Looking for a friend? Where would she get a friend?"

"She is clearly..."

However, considering Lilith's status, he didn't continue speaking at the end.

"Father... Sister probably has other things she can't tell us... What are you going to do next, Father?" Avril asked between sobs.

"Sigh..." Gerald sighed.

"Tell the steward to take some men and try to infiltrate the Nightmare Clan's territory to see if he can bring Lilith back."

Hearing this, Avril nodded. "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely bring my sister back."

As she spoke, Avril turned and left the mansion.

.......

"How is it?" As soon as I left the mansion, a man dressed in aristocratic clothes with an effeminate appearance came up to me.

"We've managed to keep it a secret for now." Avril said, glaring fiercely at the man.

"If it weren't for your men's mistake, this matter wouldn't have become so complicated!"

"I didn't expect her to accidentally enter an ancient magic circle either," Walker said, then changed the subject. "But don't worry, we've already located her using the residual magic power from the circle."

"Where?" Avril asked.

"The Dragon Cave Underground City has sixty levels."

"Sixty floors?" Avril frowned upon hearing this.

"That old guy told me to tell the butler to take some men to find Lilith. I was going to have the butler deal with her, but... if she's on the sixtieth floor of the Dragon Cave dungeon..."

Avril was torn by this thought, but she quickly made up her mind.

"Have your father go there."

Upon hearing this, Walker's eyes widened. "Send my father over?"

"Otherwise what? The Dragon Cave underground city has sixty floors. Ordinary people simply cannot reach that level. Even experts who have reached level 70 or above cannot climb up from the fifty-fifth floor."

"The only way is to teleport in through that ancient magic circle."

Sending someone else isn't safe; it's much more secure to send your father.

Sawyer Victor is Walker's father, and as the most trusted subordinate of the succubus lord Gerald, his strength goes without saying.

A level 75 player who is about to reach level 80 and enter the legendary tier.

That's why Gerald betrothed his eldest daughter, Lilith, whom he had just found, to Walker.

"But what if my father were to take charge, and then suddenly leaves...?" Walker asked with some concern.

"Don't forget, Lilith is your fiancée in name only. Your father's concern for her safety and his decision to personally go and find her is enough reason."

"I will also inform the Nightmare Clan in advance, so that they can cooperate with your father as much as possible."

After hearing Avril's arrangement, Walker hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.

"I see..."

........

Compared to Avril's side, Lilith's side is completely different.

Since signing the contract with Jiang Chen, Lilith is now free to roam in Jiang Chen's territory.

Lilith circled Jiang Chen's territory and found that it wasn't very big, but this area was a dead end in the cave, with the deepest part being the tree hole where Jiang Chen lived.

Not far from where Jiang Chen lived was a cold pool that emitted a faint blue light.

Further ahead was a plantation with plants that Lilith herself didn't recognize; according to the Pata group, these were spices.

As the young lady of the succubus race, she naturally knew about spices.

But looking at those plants, some of which resembled disgusting octopus tentacles and others that looked like man-eating flowers, Lilith simply couldn't associate them with the spices that only nobles could use.

Moreover, the idea of ​​planting spices in Pata is just too outrageous.

As for going any further ahead, that's a restricted area. According to Pata, that's the entrance to their territory, a military stronghold.

Lilith didn't quite understand what "military stronghold" meant, but she felt that these must be places similar to military residences.

Although she hadn't been here long, Lilith was certain that her worldview had been shattered countless times by this group of Pata.

At the same time, Lilith also discovered that the Pata seemed to have reached level 30, which is the upper limit for their race.

Lilith wasn't surprised by this; after all, it would be strange not to have reached the level cap in a place like this.

However, what Lilith couldn't understand was that even if they reached the level cap of level 30, these Pata should still be no match for the monsters outside.

However, Lilith often saw these Pata returning from hunting successfully, and some of the monsters were at least level 60 or higher.

"By the Dark Goddess Rose, what kind of group of pats are these?"

"How could they do something so incredible?"

Lilith thought to herself, having nothing to do.

However, she soon noticed that a group of little patters were beginning to gather in the cold pool not far away.

This puzzled Lilith.

"What are they doing gathered here?"

Driven by curiosity, Lilith decided to stop and watch.

Not long after...

Lilith saw more and more people gathered together, making a lot of noise, and they were all speaking words she couldn't understand.

Immediately afterwards, Lilith saw a familiar figure.

The person who arrived was Jiang Chen, and the players had gathered because of Jiang Chen's summons.

After reaching an agreement with Lilith, Jiang Chen went back and made some rough plans before gathering the players.

The lack of a main storyline has always been a complaint from players, so Jiang Chen decided to take this opportunity to create one.

After seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Jiang Chen cleared his throat.

"Cough cough cough...Everyone!"

"I have some great news to share! I recently learned some important information!"

"That's the sixtieth floor of the Dragon Cave underground city!"

"At the same time, I also know how to leave this dungeon. We just need to get to the fiftieth floor, where there is a teleportation magic circle set up by the Nightmare Clan. We just need to kill the Nightmare Clan guards and we can leave here smoothly."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen cleared his throat.

"We've always lived in this dark, sunless underground city, and we've always longed for a bigger world!"

"So, after careful consideration, I've made my decision! We're going to fight our way out, we're going to leave the dungeon!"

"I will officially launch the war in a week, defeat the dungeon's guardians, and leave this place!"

"Therefore, starting today! We will officially enter the preparation phase! This time, only success is acceptable; failure is not an option! Even if it means going bankrupt, we must fight our way out!"

As Jiang Chen finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Immediately afterwards, corresponding tasks popped up on the players' task panels.

Main quest: Leave the dungeon!

[Quest Details: The Lord has decided to lead his people out of the dungeon. As members of the race, players must naturally contribute to this cause!]

[First Stage (Clearing Surrounding Enemies): The Demon Wolf Clan and the Bloodthirsty Lizard Clan have always coveted us, which has become a major worry for the Lord. These two races are an unavoidable obstacle for our clans if we wish to launch this expedition. Therefore, players are urged to actively prepare for war against these two races!]

[Task Reward: Unlocks the next stage of slime evolution, 3 Magic Coins]

Upon seeing the quests, especially the main quests, the players were visibly excited.

We've been waiting for this moment for ages, and finally the main quest is here!

Players were even more excited after seeing the mission rewards.

"As expected of a main quest! This reward is insane!"

"I've been stuck at this level for so long, I can finally evolve! So exciting!"

......

Of course, Jiang Chen issued this mission not only to clear out the surrounding enemies, but also to replenish the resources for summoning familiars. He currently only has enough resources to summon a little over a hundred.

If a real war breaks out, a major battle could wipe them out.

Therefore, Jiang Chen needs to replenish as much as possible. After all, he doesn't know how many battles he will face after going out, so it's only natural to prepare in advance.
