The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

"Of course it's us!" Jiang Chen said confidently.

"You guys?" Lilith looked doubtful upon hearing what Jiang Chen said.

To be honest, Lilith felt that with these Pata, she would most likely be sold off until she was nothing but bones.

wrong....

Lilith felt as if she had been sold out long ago.

hateful!

"So you can help me get out of here? What price do I have to pay?" Lilith asked.

However, to Lilith's surprise, Jiang Chen did not make an exorbitant demand this time.

"Didn't you already pay the price?"

Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen is a man of principle; he would never do something like trying to have multiple uses for the same fish.

"Jiang Chen, you're being so kind?" Lilith asked, her face full of suspicion.

This immediately displeased Jiang Chen.

"Alright, since you're so eager to give it to me, then I won't be polite. How about we sign a new contract?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith quickly waved her hand.

"That settles it. You didn't want to sign anyway, so why did you ask me so many questions?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen continued to add to the story.

"Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that there's only one guardian left on this floor now."

"After we deal with the guardians, we can go to the 59th floor. These guys just came up from down here, so we can ask them about the situation on the 59th floor."

As he pondered this, Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon Ella.

Seeing Jiang Chen's gaze, Ella, who had already become obedient, naturally spoke without reservation.

"Floor 59 is a maze."

"maze?"

"Yes, a maze," Ella said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen stared intently at Ella.

"W-what's wrong?" Ella felt a little uneasy under Jiang Chen's gaze.

"What's wrong? You dark elf, I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you being so inconsiderate?"

"What's going on with the maze? Tell me, or do I have to lock you back in and give you a proper VIP experience before you'll tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Ella's expression immediately changed.

Jiang Chen's words immediately brought back the unpleasant memories.

"I'll talk... I'll talk..."

"It's a real maze, the whole maze is very complex and constantly changing."

"And the surrounding walls are made of special vines."

"Some of these vines are monsters themselves, while others are ordinary vines. If you get close to a monster vine, you will be devoured by it."

"Then there are some special monsters that roam the dungeon."

"However, there are some good things over there, such as Flame Peaks. These are special monsters that can produce honey with an extremely delicious flavor, which can be sold for a very high price outside."

"Of course, there are other types of bees that can also produce honey of extremely high value."

"And the guardian between the 59th and 58th floors is a giant tree spirit."

"Besides that, there are many other monsters in the labyrinth that I have never seen before, but they are all quite powerful."

Hearing Ella's explanation, Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

"So that means there are no magic crystals on that floor."

"Yes, but very few. However, the vast majority of them are uncontaminated magic crystals, unlike the magic crystals we see on this floor, which are all contaminated."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.

Uncontaminated magic crystals are of little use to Jiang Chen, while contaminated magic crystals can be used as bombs for self-destruction.

These uncontaminated magic crystals are mostly used to craft special magical equipment.

Overall, it can't be considered useless. If he goes to the human world later, these magic crystals won't be cheap. Besides, Jiang Chen felt that he could collect a lot of resources from the 59th floor to prepare for his future entry into the human world.

Jiang Chen also has plans for entering the human world in the future, starting with the succubus race.

Establish a base and then gradually engage in commercial dealings.

Gradually, they opened up opportunities for themselves.

Compared to this dark and gloomy underground city, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to go to the outside world as soon as possible, but he was also well aware that the outside world was very dangerous.

One wrong step leads to another; he's not like those reckless brutes who charge straight in and get wiped out.

He had to take it one step at a time. Only after the entire clan had truly established itself would he officially enter the human world. Before that, Jiang Chen did not intend to leave the underground city.

To gain a foothold, gold coins and resources are extremely important.

Jiang Chen's idea was simple: turn this underground city into his own resource point, continuously supplying resources to the outside world in exchange for various things useful to him.

Of course, achieving this goal is not easy.

This dungeon belongs to the Nightmare Clan after all. If I were to forcibly take it for myself, it would definitely lead to war with the Nightmare Clan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the Nightmare Clan member who had been captured.

Without a doubt, Jiang Chen's aim was to extract information.

This Nightmare Clan member is an elite among the Nightmare Clan, or more precisely, an elite of the younger generation.

He also comes from a fairly good family background. Although he doesn't hold real power within the Nightmare Clan, he still wields considerable influence.

They possess the glory that belongs to the Nightmare Clan nobility.

Without a doubt, this Nightmare Clan is full of backbone.

For example, right now...

"Boss, please let me go, I don't want to die."

"I'll tell you anything you want to know."

Who is the strongest member of the Nightmare Clan?

"He is the clan leader, who reached level 80 and became a legendary figure. He is 1321 years old and was injured in battle in his early years. He has not yet fully recovered."

Hearing the nightmare recount its own situation in such detail, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Good job, you're very good, you've even learned to answer first."

"Hey, I've heard that you Nightmare Clan members are all very principled. Is your spine a little too soft?"

"Hehe... Boss, you have a good eye for people."

It has to be said that this Nightmare was quite sensible, answering almost every question. This action left Lilith, who was standing to the side, completely stunned.

Not long after...

"So you sold out your people?" After the Pata had obtained the information they wanted and left, Lilith looked at the Nightmare Clan member in front of her with a somewhat incredulous tone.

Lilith had heard many legends about the Nightmare Clan while she was in her family.

For example, this is a very loyal race that will only recognize one partner in its lifetime. Only dark elves who have gained its recognition are qualified to ride on its back.

The Nightmare Clan is incredibly fast, and their assistance can be a significant asset in war.

The Succubus Clan once captured many Nightmare Clan members, hoping to extract information about them, but these Nightmare Clan members remained steadfast and unyielding.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you are definitely not a member of the Nightmare Clan."

"This is completely different from what I've heard!"

Upon hearing what Lilith said, the Nightmare Clan members, who had been lying on the ground timidly, suddenly stood up.

"What we Nightmare Clan are like is none of your business, you little succubus!"

Seeing Lilith, a member of the Nightmare Clan, suddenly stand up, she looked on incredulously.

"No...you!" Lilith said, pointing to Pata leaving in the distance, then to herself, "You weren't like this just now."

Looking at the Nightmare Clan members who were just lying on the ground, timid and submissive, and then at them now, Lilith felt like her brain was a little overwhelmed.

"What I looked like just now has nothing to do with you, you little succubus!"

"What? You were all captured, and you expect me to treat you the same way I treat those 'papas'? Don't you even know who you are?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith glared fiercely at the Nightmare Clan member.

What a despicable guy, his mood changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Aren't you afraid that if I go out and tell other people about this, the honor of your Nightmare Clan will be ruined?"

The Nightmare was completely unconcerned about Lilith's threat.

"Honor, my foot! Can honor feed you?"

"And you stupid succubus, you don't actually think that we Nightmare Clan are the same as the rumors say, do you? Don't you even think about who we're cooperating with?"

"Do you know about Dark Elves? They're a race rife with betrayal. Do you think we can thrive by associating with these races?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as it finished speaking, it drew an angry glare from Ella.

The Nightmare Clan member was completely unconcerned about this.

"Why are you glaring at me? Glaring at me won't do any good. This is how we are. Is there a problem? Did I say something wrong?"

"But so many races are talking about you..." Lilith was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Are you stupid? Don't you understand the concept of marketing? If we don't advertise, who would want to cooperate with us?"

"We just need to spend a few hundred or a thousand gold coins each year to get those goblins, dwarves, and some merchants who run around to help us spread the word, and we'll gain a reputation."

"With a good reputation, many people will come to visit our Nightmare Clan. We will exploit the weak and treat the strong with respect. In this way, our Nightmare Clan has made many friends."

Hearing what the Nightmare Clan said, Lilith felt as if her worldview was about to be shattered.

At this moment, Lilith realized that she seemed to not recognize this unfamiliar world.

She had heard some elders in her clan use despicable methods to deal with the Nightmare Clan. Lilith felt that these people were too despicable. Couldn't they just have a fair fight?

Lilith now understands that if they were to fight a fair and square battle, the succubus race would probably be wiped out long ago.

"As expected, none of them are any good."

Seeing Lilith in a daze, Nightmare collapsed to the ground again.

"Look at how silly you are, no wonder you're here. You were probably eaten to a crisp by your own people outside."

"He's most likely been sold out, and he's still helping his clansmen count the money."

"Fine, I'll take pity on you. Come here and brush my fur and massage my back. I'll teach you something that will be enough for you for the rest of your life."

"Hey hey hey... What are you doing? Little succubus, I'm warning you, don't lay a hand on me! We're prisoners now, and if you get hurt, those high-ranking officials will blame you, and you'll be in big trouble."

"Don't hit me... I was wrong!"

........

Not long after...

After giving the nightmare a good talking-to, Lilith felt much better.

At this moment, Lilith realized that Jiang Chen was right; she had been too naive.

This nightmare isn't wrong either.

He was tricked by his younger sister, which is why he ended up in this situation.

"I'm asking if there's any way for you to leave here? I want to go back to the succubus clan."

Looking at the Nightmare Clan members he had just given a good beating, as well as Ella and the Death Knight Lilith, he asked.

"Leave here? Little succubus, are you crazy?" Nightmare's voice rose several decibels.

"Do you even know where this is? Not to mention there's a huge group of people lying in wait watching us. We even have a contract with them. You can't even get past the lower floors."

"So how did you get up here?" Lilith asked.

"We had props that could conceal our presence, but those Pata took them all away just now."

"Besides, isn't it good to stay here? I think this whole floor belongs to those Pata, and there's no danger here."

Lilith shook her head at this.

"I was framed by my sister and ended up here by accident."

"My sister and my fiancé might harm my father. I want to leave here quickly and go back to save him."

Lilith also explained why she wanted to leave.

Lilith originally planned to fight her way up with the players, but at the current pace, who knows how long it will take.

I can take my time, but can my father wait?

So when Lilith saw the Dark Elves arrive at this floor, she had the idea of ​​leaving.

All you need to do is leave here, return to the succubus clan, and tell your father about your sister's situation.

However, after hearing her own story, Lilith was stunned.

Because the expressions on the faces of these guys in front of me were clearly off.

"What's with those expressions?" Lilith was a little confused.

"No, what are you so sad about? This is a good thing," Nightmare said.

Before Lilith could figure out why Nightmare would say that, Ella's voice came through.

"You can use your sister and your fiancé to get rid of your father, then find another opportunity to eliminate them, and also take care of the succubi who support them. That way, you can smoothly take over the succubus clan."

Nightmare nodded repeatedly in agreement with what Ella said.

"I remember your father seemed to have several wives. We shouldn't let those others go either. We'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop, then you'll be in charge of the entire succubus race, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, Ella added, "That's a good idea. We Dark Elves are skilled in assassination, and I can help you with that."

"But you can't skimp on my share. For each person I help you kill, I need 1 gold coins. If it's a high-ranking succubus, it'll be 10 gold coins. How does this deal sound?"

Hearing the two bastards' lewd words, Lilith was so frightened that she took two steps back.

"No... it's you!"

"Why would you have such terrible thoughts? Shouldn't your first thought in this situation be to save your father?"

Upon hearing what Lilith said, Ella and Nightmare exchanged a glance.

"Why did you save that old man? If he dies so I can take over, I'd rather he died sooner," Nightmare said.

"I tried to assassinate my father, Deng, three times before, but I failed each time." Ella said with a look of regret.

Hearing what these two said, Lilith felt her worldview shattered.
