The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out, clearly the sound of a life-saving item shattering.

Immediately afterward, several disheveled figures rushed out amidst the raging flames.

"Damn, that's pretty fast! Bro, after them!"

The players swarmed after them in the next moment.

"Run!" came Ella's terrified voice.

"You think you can escape?"

Various spells flew towards them from behind, dazzling them.

"Captain, run!"

Seeing the sky filled with magic, his two teammates behind him gave a resolute look in their eyes, "I'll hold them off!"

Seeing his teammates trying to stop him, tears welled up in Allen's eyes as he rode on Nightmare's back.

She knew that her two teammates were finished.

But she couldn't stop; she couldn't let her teammates sacrifice themselves in vain.

Behind them came the continuous explosions and the roars of their teammates.

The huge commotion naturally made the nightmare run even faster.

Nightmare knew very well that once caught, he would not escape his fate.

The players behind them were also in hot pursuit.

Especially the star veins.

"Why are you running? Don't you like the earth to tremble? You dead horse, come here and give me another tremor."

"And the one on the back, nine shots in a row, right? Keep shooting!"

"Your two Shadow Nine-Slash Combos and Earth-Shattering Slashes are already dead. You think you can escape?"

Starpulse Ella, who was chasing after them and chattering incessantly, was also furious.

However, facing the overwhelming attack from behind by the Pata, Ella didn't even have the courage to retaliate.

The only saving grace was that the pattering wasn't very fast.

"We should be able to escape!"

"Once I leave here, I must tell my people what's happening here!"

"Just you wait, I will definitely lead my people to wipe out you despicable Pata and avenge my comrades."

But just then, something appeared in the sky that made Ella's pupils shrink sharply.

What did she see?!

"War...weapons of war!!!"

"Did I break some heavenly law? Why are weapons of war chasing me?"

"And what's with these Pata? How did they get their hands on these weapons of war?"

Ella finally understood. No wonder these Pata were able to survive unharmed in such a dangerous place. With this thing, there was indeed no need to worry about anything else.

"Captain, hold on tight!"

After the advent of weapons of war, Nightmare knew very well that there was no other way but to fight desperately.

The next moment, Nightmare was covered in black and red flames, and then its speed increased dramatically.

"Fortunately, the forest here is dense enough. Using these trees as cover, and with the advantage of being a Nightmare Clan, we should be able to escape."

While the Nightmare Clan isn't particularly strong in combat, few can match their speed.

Just as it expected.

Taking advantage of the terrain, the war mech quickly lost track of its target.

They didn't know how long they had been wandering through the forest, but Nightmare and Ella saw a place not far away covered with vines, and below several square stone slabs, there seemed to be a place that looked like an entrance.

The entrance is hidden by these plants and is very inconspicuous.

Look around.

After confirming that there was no sign of Pata or any war weapons, Ella pointed over there.

"Let's hide inside first."

At this moment, Ella couldn't care less about anything else.

She wasn't sure if there were any monsters inside, but the most important thing right now was to evade the group of hunters.

And so, a dark elf and a horse went inside.

As soon as she entered, Ella looked around and her expression changed slightly.

This is a passageway with all four sides made of hard stone slabs.

The stone slab was carved with various symbols and patterns that Ella couldn't understand.

"This appears to be the entrance to a ruin."

It's quite normal to find ruins in dungeons; some ruins contain treasures, while others contain nothing.

However, it was clear that Ella had no interest in exploring the ruins at the moment.

Because she heard a familiar voice calling out.

"Run? Do you think you can escape?"

"Damn it, if we let you get away so easily, we'd all have wasted our lives."

It's those patters!

Ella's expression tightened as she carefully reached the cave entrance and, using the plants as cover, looked in the direction from which the sound was coming.

A black cat is heading this way.

"Huh? There's a hole here!"

"Looks like you're hiding inside. Hmph, you've chosen the path to hell when there's one. Let's see how you run now."

As he spoke, Star Pulse unleashed all its skills and leaped into the cave.

As soon as he entered, he saw the horse and Ella, who was drawing her bow and nocking an arrow.

"Hmph... It's just a futile struggle."

"You think you can escape our clutches? Hehehe..."

"Brothers, let's go, kill her!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

"Brothers?" Xingmai's tentative voice rang out.

"Where are my brothers? Where are all my brothers?"

Looking at the dark elf and the nightmare not far away, Xingmai subconsciously swallowed.

"Let me tell you, you're in trouble, you're in big trouble."

"Just you wait, just you wait to die. I'm sending reinforcements over right now."

Then....

A gathering place for players.

"Waaaah! We're passing through dung! You're passing through dung!"

Xingmai looked at everyone with a resentful expression.

"You promised to avenge me, but when I caught up with you, I found that none of you were there. You just abandoned me like that."

The more I think about Xingmai, the more wronged I feel.

"Cough cough cough, this isn't our fault, there was just a little unexpected situation."

One player tried to save face.

"What the hell is going on?!"

After being resurrected, Star Pulse also figured out what had just happened.

This thing appeared on the two dark elves who were covering the rear. After the players dealt with them, they discovered that these two had storage rings on their hands.

Upon opening it, I found quite a few good things inside, including many magical items and over a hundred magic coins.

At this point, they no longer cared about chasing the two who had escaped and immediately began dividing up the spoils.

As a result, Xingmai was so eager for revenge that he didn't notice what was happening behind him and ended up chasing after them.

By the time the players realized what was happening, they found that all the Star Pulse people were gone, and they realized that something bad was about to happen.

He cleared his throat. "Brother Xingmai, it was just a small mistake, nothing serious."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely avenge you. By the way, you said they hid inside the ruins. Are you sure it's a ruin?"

"Where is it roughly located? Let's go take a look. If they're really there, we'll definitely avenge you."

Xingmai glanced at everyone in response.

He realized that these people weren't there to avenge him; they were just after a reward.

He took a deep breath. "I'm telling you, this time you have to help me get revenge. You can't do what you did before."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge you. I'll definitely get my revenge."

"We told you it was a mistake, you have to believe us! Alright, stop dawdling, brothers, let's hurry and follow Brother Xingmai to explore... uh... no, I should say go avenge him."
