The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

The Nightmare Clan, neighbors of the Succubus Clan.

There have been considerable conflicts between them and the succubus race recently.

The Nightmare Clan's strength lies not in themselves, but in their cooperative race, the Dark Elves.

The Dark Elves are a race that lives in the shadows, possessing innate talents in stealth, assassination, and archery.

The cooperation with the Nightmare Clan has allowed the two races to work together, making their combined strength far greater than the sum of its parts.

The Nightmare race, as mounts, grants them greater mobility. In addition, the Nightmare race itself possesses considerable combat power, giving them a significant advantage even when facing succubi or other surrounding races.

Of course, dark elves are also very good at plotting and scheming.

Compared to those who only know how to fight and kill, the Dark Elves are like social butterflies, with many races around them having intricate connections with them in secret.

Compared to other races, the Dark Elves are better suited to living in human territory, and therefore their connection with humans is closer.

However, not long ago, the Dark Elves and Nightmare Clan received several important messages.

The eldest daughter of the succubus clan has betrayed the clan, and the succubus clan has now issued an arrest warrant for her.

Of course, neither the Dark Elves nor the Nightmare Clan cared much about the Succubus Clan's domestic affairs.

They were interested in other intelligence.

The first piece of information concerns a divine artifact, and this artifact was actually obtained by a weak monster named Pata.

Although it sounded a bit far-fetched, after considering the source of the information, the Dark Elves had no choice but to take this matter seriously.

The second thing that followed was also about Pata.

Although neither the Dark Elves nor the Nightmare Clan were entirely clear about the details of Pata's acquisition of the artifact, they remembered the divine message given by their goddess, Lolth, not long ago.

The target is a dark, smear-like creature.

The patter that could enrage the goddess so much must be extraordinary; it's definitely not one of those patters that can be found everywhere in the monster forest.

At this very moment, a Pata, who had obtained a divine artifact, appeared on the sixtieth floor of the dungeon, forcing the Dark Elf race to take the matter even more seriously.

Perhaps this is the goddess's goal.

Therefore, after some discussion, the Nightmare Clan and the Dark Elf Clan decided to each send six elites to the dungeon to investigate.

This time, their goals were very simple: first, to investigate whether the Pata was the one the goddess had mentioned; second, to kill the other Pata and obtain the artifact.

Before setting off, these elites also made some guesses about the situation in the underground city.

They determined a few things. First, that group of Pata probably didn't have much fighting power; they were just a subordinate race of the dragon, and usually served the dragon.

Secondly, if you want to take action against those Pata, you must first hide yourself and then wait for a Pata to be alone.

They lacked the confidence to kill the dragon's subordinate race right under the dragon's nose.

Of course, as elites of the Nightmare Clan and the Dark Elf Clan, they believed that this task was not difficult.

In this way, the group of twelve quickly arrived at the 51st floor of the Abyss Dungeon, which the Nightmare Clan had already explored, through the magic circle.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance to the 52nd floor. Several dark elves dismounted from the backs of the Nightmare Clan and took out special cloaks that had been prepared beforehand.

"These cloaks can conceal our presence. Once we enter the Guardian's room, as long as we are careful, it won't detect us."

The leader of the dark elves was named Ella.

She was a level 65 dark elf, and in her party, both dark elves and Nightmare Clan members were at least level 60.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be called an elite squad.

Donning the cloaks, the group sped off into the depths of the underground city.

The first few levels went very smoothly, as the Nightmare Clan had been exploring all along.

Although they haven't yet defeated the guardians on the lower levels, the Nightmare Clan has sent out quite a few members to scout out the lower levels and gain a certain understanding of the map.

Following the map, Ella led her team to the fifty-sixth floor of the dungeon.

As soon as she entered, Ella waved her hand cautiously.

"Everyone, from this level onwards, we'll have to figure it out ourselves."

As she spoke, the experienced Ella began to explain dungeon exploration techniques to her teammates.

"The environment of each dungeon is different. For example, our level is a huge plant maze made up of these plants."

As they carefully navigated the maze, Ella continued, "Be very careful of these plants; these seemingly insignificant plants are extremely dangerous."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ella suddenly raised her arrow, and the next moment a whooshing sound rang out. A huge monster, resembling a mosquito, was shot through by her arrow.

"The dungeon is not like the outside world. It is full of dangers, so we must be careful with every step we take."

"When you see a plant you've never seen before, stay away from it as much as possible, because you never know if it's waiting for you to get close and then, like a hunter, deliver a fatal blow."

"This kind of monster is a social monster. Once you encounter it, do not engage it and you must leave immediately."

"Remember, one wrong step in the dungeon can mean annihilation, even for an elite team like ours."

And so, the group proceeded cautiously, encountering various dangers along the way. This gave the elites of the Dark Elves and Nightmare Clan a profound understanding of the perilous nature of this dungeon.

After traveling for a day, they finally found a relatively safe place in the underground city and began to set up camp.

Ella then took out a bottle and began scattering it around their campsite.

"Captain, what is this?"

One of the team members was a little curious.

"This is dragon urine. Most monsters don't dare to come near when they smell it."

Upon hearing this, the team members gained a new understanding of their experienced captain.

"Captain, you're amazing! You know so much!"

"yes."

"Besides, this underground city is too dangerous. We've been walking on eggshells every step of the way here today."

"This is much more dangerous than what we're doing outside. No wonder those adventure teams outside don't dare to come to the dungeon."

Hearing what her teammates said, Ella couldn't help but shake her head. "This is nothing. We're only on the 56th floor right now, and you guys already think it's dangerous?"

"The dungeons get more dangerous with each level. The real danger comes after the 60th level, where we will also have to assassinate the dragon's subordinate races."

As Ella spoke, her expression was filled with worry. Pata wasn't scary; what was scary was the dragon and the deadly dangers that could be found everywhere on the 60th floor.

Ella wasn't sure how many members of her team would make it back from this operation.
