"..." Lu Ming sighed and walked into the cellar first with Jack.

Looking at the pitch-black cellar, where nothing could be seen except for the faint glowing eyes of some invisible slaves, Lu Ming immediately had Jack fire a massive lightning bolt at the nearest slave to briefly illuminate the surroundings.

But after the cellar was illuminated and the slaves who had become spirits were clearly seen, Lu Ming and Jack subconsciously swallowed hard. They had no choice but to wait for Sham and the other two to come in before they could begin to exterminate these spirit slaves.

This is because there were simply too many slaves; it was impossible for just the two of them to manage them all.

The entrance to the cellar was on the upper level, while Lu Ming and his group were heading towards the exit on the lower level. However, the lower level was completely crammed with slaves. Several slaves were even standing or lying on the roof beams of the upper level!

"So many..." When Sham and the others entered the cellar and saw the densely packed slaves illuminated by Miral's fireball spell, even Sham, who was temporarily the strongest of the five, found it troublesome.

If we disregard the possibility of the cellar collapsing, these slaves are easy to deal with; a single Dragon Pulse followed by a barrage of high-powered, wide-area spells and abilities will suffice. But the problem is, what if the cellar collapses? After all, we can't ignore the consequences, can we?

After pondering for a long time, Lu Ming and the others still couldn't find a good solution. In the end, they had no choice but to have Lu Ming and Lily expend a lot of magic points to slowly sweep the area with the seed machine.

Although this method is slow, at least it won't cause a landslide.

However, while Lu Ming and Lily were mowing down the slaves on the lower levels, Sham, Miral, and Jack weren't idle either. Several invisible slaves on the roof beams were still waiting for them to deal with them.

It took Lu Ming and Lily about half an hour to shoot down all the invisible slaves in the lower level of the cellar. But both of them were out of mana and felt a little dizzy.

However, their efforts were not in vain.

While clearing the slaves from the roof beams, Sham found a weapon, Yorshka's, in an oversized box.

Even though none of them use it, it's still good to keep it. Not to mention, this one also has the effect of hypnotizing the undead and wandering spirits.

After leaving the dark cellar, descending the long stairs, and dealing with several invisible slaves hiding in open stone caves, Lu Ming and his group were blocked by a stretch of icy lake water.

Although Jack and Miral, the two immortals, are not afraid of ice water, Lu Ming, Sham, and Lily are.

But there was no other way besides this route, so Lu Ming, Sham, and Lily were all in a dilemma.

"What should we do?" Lu Ming looked fearfully at the lake in front of him, which was clearly snowing but had not yet frozen over, and asked Sham and Lily.

"Shouldn't Lily and Sham be the ones asking that? Besides, wasn't it you, a Boreal Valley native, who led the way?" Before Sham and Lily could speak, Jack couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing this, Sham and Lily hurriedly said, "Lu Ming, you're from Cold Valley, don't you know the other routes?"

"Didn't we already try when we were picking up the Thunderstone and the Magic Hand Ring on Miral's hand? The elevators were locked. I couldn't do anything about it!"

Seeing Lily and Sham's expressions of "I don't care, I'm going to take another route," Lu Ming couldn't think of any solution for a moment, so he had no choice but to be the first to go down into the icy river.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, over there, there's a bonfire..." Lu Ming, shivering from the cold, pointed to a place in the distance where the firelight was clearly visible.

Seeing this, Sham and Lily had no choice but to run over there with him as fast as they could.

Because it was so cold, Jack had to pick up the Great Miracle of Regeneration from the maggot-infested corpse on the road himself.

Rushing all the way to an empty house where the campfire was, Lu Ming couldn't wait to have Miral light it.

Although the lake was extremely shallow, only reaching about calf-deep, the bone-chilling temperature was unbearable. Even though we'd have to go back in later.

They quickly took off their shoes and socks, and the five of them sat around the campfire, drying their shoes and socks as they warmed themselves by the fire.

"What are we going to do if we have to go back into the water?" Sham asked the others with some fear, knowing that there was no other way out of the room where the campfire was located and that they would have to go back into the icy water.

After glancing at a wall that should have been the path to Irithyll's dungeons and the City of Sin, Lu Ming sighed and delivered even worse news.

"We're going to join another area of ​​Irithyll through the sewers. The problem is, besides the cold and stench, there are several experimental subjects there."

"Experimental subject?" Sham's expression had already turned sour upon hearing the word "sewer," and he knew something was wrong when he heard the word "experimental subject."

"It's the kind of thing I shot dead on the cliff outside the bridge." With a slight sigh, Lu Ming delivered the devastating news.

"I don't want to!!" Miral burst into tears upon hearing that she would have to fight those terrifying monsters that looked like centipedes.

Lu Ming and Jack looked speechlessly at the crying Miral and the pale-faced Sham and Lily, quickly realizing their predicament. As the only two men in the team, the heavy responsibility of dealing with those centipede-like monsters would inevitably fall on their shoulders.

Not wanting to die a horrible death, Lu Ming and Jack took on the task of dealing with the centipedes before Sham and the others could speak.

"Jack and I took care of those test subjects. You three don't need to worry about them."

Although I end up having to do it myself, it's always better to take the responsibility myself than to be forced into it!

Seeing that they didn't have to fight that monster with many limbs and long hair, Sham, Lily, and Miral breathed a sigh of relief.

While the three of them were happy, Lu Ming and Jack were in for a rough time. Putting aside how powerful those experimental subjects were, the sheer appearance of those monsters put considerable pressure on the two of them.

"How did they attack? Did they use their claws?" Knowing there was no escape, Jack asked Lu Ming with a wry smile about the monsters. But asking only increased the pressure.

"They don't attack with their hands or feet, but with their huge mouths that split from their necks all the way to their bellies."

"Can I exit the instance?" Jack asked, raising his hand somewhat fearfully.

"I'm sorry, we can't. None of us will get out until we finish fighting," Lu Ming said, shaking his head.

"I'll never participate in your dungeons again!" At that moment, Jack instantly realized Bajdon's cleverness, but unfortunately, he was a step too late.

Chapter 33 - Dungeon [Icy Valley] Part 4

After a fierce and agonizing battle, Lu Ming, who had nearly frozen to death, and the priest Jack together killed all of Sulyvahn's centipede-like experimental subjects in the sewers.

However, both Jack and Lu Ming sustained some injuries as a result. But it wasn't anything serious.

Sitting on the fireplace in the kitchen above a staircase in the sewer, Lu Ming shivered as he warmed himself by the fire.

Soon after, Jack brought Sham and the others over as well.

“Next, there will be three Silver Knights waiting for us. And one of them is hiding on the second floor in a very sneaky way, ready to shoot arrows with the Dragon Slayer Greatbow.” Lu Ming, who was sitting in front of the fireplace drying his shoes and socks, said to Sham and the others, “So I will first use the bow and arrow to lure one over, and while taking him down, we should try our best not to expose ourselves to the attack range of the Dragon Slayer Greatbow.”

“No problem.” Sham moved his slightly frozen toes and nodded in agreement with Lu Ming’s idea.

"Then, I'll go pull the monster. You four better be ready. This guy is not an easy opponent."

"Go."

Under the watchful eyes of his teammates and fiancée, Lu Ming took the Wei Long Bow and walked out of the kitchen into a hall with several paintings hanging on the walls.

Looking at the Silver Knight who was admiring the portrait of Princess Gwyn Avril in the distance, Lu Ming raised his hand and fired an arrow, which went straight into the back of the head of that bastard who was fantasizing about his own princess.

Immediately, the silver knight turned around, took up his straight sword, raised his shield, and charged at Lu Ming, who had interrupted his daydream.

"Seed Machine!" As the saying goes, to shoot a man, shoot his horse first; to strike a man, strike his feet first. Before running back into the kitchen, Lu Ming unleashed a Seed Machine, crippling the Silver Knight. To prevent any unforeseen complications.

However, it turned out he was overthinking it.

The Silver Knight had just followed him into the kitchen when Sham smashed him to death with a single blow...

"Dead?" Lu Ming took off the Silver Knight's helmet, stabbed it twice with his straight sword, and asked, somewhat dumbfounded.

“Dead.” Sham nodded, then gave the Silver Knight’s straight sword to Lily and replaced his own Papal Knight’s shield with the Silver Knight’s shield.

After putting away the curved sword and shield that Sham and Lily had swapped out, Lu Ming glanced speechlessly at the Silver Knight, who was far less powerful than the Black Knight from the Crucible Forest, wondering if it was truly weak or just pretending.

But just how strong is the Silver Knight? The dungeon must go on.

"That silver knight upstairs with the dragon-slaying greatbow is a problem. If we're not careful, we could get pierced by an arrow that's as long as the long one!"

"Then what should we do?"

"I used my bow to distract it, and Lily, Miral, and Jack quickly took it down. Sham, you just need to hold the shield and protect me and yourself."

"Okay." "Got it." "Understood." "The task is very simple!"

When Lu Ming heard Sham say the mission was easy, he chuckled to himself. He thought to himself, "Wait a minute, you won't think that way anymore."

However, that's what he thought. If Sham were in danger, Lu Ming would still risk his life to save her.

"One...two...three! Charge!" After counting to three, Lu Ming charged into the hall at high speed and fired a poisoned arrow at the Silver Knight on the second floor.

The next moment, the Silver Knight launched a counterattack, shooting a long arrow, as long as the short spear, toward Lu Ming.

Fortunately, Lu Ming dodged quickly, and the large arrow did not hit him. Instead, it was deeply embedded in the marble floor!

"Is this a lie?!" Miral was stunned by the terrifying power of the Dragon Slayer Bow as soon as he entered the hall.

"How could something used for dragon hunting not be powerful!" Before Miral and Sham could even react to the power of the Dragon Slayer Bow, Lily rushed into the hall and harassed the Silver Knight with the Seed Machine.

By the time Sham and the other two realized what was happening, Lu Ming and the Silver Knight had already exchanged fire for the second round!

'Is it because you can't see that you're not afraid?' As Sham used his aura to reinforce his shield and forcefully blocked the Silver Knight's shot, he glanced at Lily, who hadn't opened her eyes since they first met.

With Sham's protection, Lu Ming swiftly fired five poisoned arrows in quick succession, rendering the Silver Knight unable to draw his bow. Ultimately, Miral finished off the Silver Knight with a powerful soul arrow, successfully killing him without sustaining injury.

Pulling the dragon-hunting arrow out of the ground, Jack asked Lu Ming with lingering fear, "There won't be many more powerful knights like this later, will there?"

Knowing that he was frightened by the power of the Dragon Slayer Greatbow, Lu Ming laughed and said, "There are only three Silver Knights here. Besides the two we've already taken down, there's one upstairs. If we want to meet him again, we'll have to go to the royal city of Anor Londo. But unfortunately, our dungeon journey ended before we even got there."

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Jack felt a little relieved.

But the next moment, a sudden, heavy footstep made everyone's heart tremble.

A silver knight wielding a longsword descended the stairs into the hall. Its crimson eyes, corrupted by the abyss, glared fiercely at Lu Ming, the Undead Legion's mortal enemy. Before Lu Ming and his companions could react, it charged straight at Lu Ming.

"Corrupted by the Abyss? What happened?" Not remembering this part in the game, Lu Ming quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the Silver Knight's thrust. At the same time, he grabbed the Irithyll Straight Sword at his waist with one hand and forcefully executed a draw slash, aiming at the Silver Knight.

However, although Lu Ming's sword strike landed on the Silver Knight, the Knight's heavy armor prevented it from causing much damage. Lu Ming himself was kicked away by the Silver Knight, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Pah!!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lu Ming struggled to his feet with the Irithyll Straight Sword.

Watching the Silver Knights, who were locked in battle with Sham and the others but were suppressing them, Lu Ming drank a bottle of Elemental Bottle and then replaced the Dragonbow with the Belheim Magic Staff.

"High-speed movement! Farron Quicksword!" Just as the Silver Knight slammed his shield into the ground, using the shockwave to blast Sham and the other three away, Lu Ming suddenly flashed past the Silver Knight, followed by a streak of dark blue light.

With a snap, the Silver Knight's head rolled off his body, and the Silver Knight's body slowly collapsed.

But unlike the other two Silver Knights, this Silver Knight's body was completely devoid of blood! Even when his head fell to the ground, not a single drop of blood flowed.

"Is it dead?" Miral asked cautiously, having accidentally cut his arm while dodging the Silver Knight's attack.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the headless silver knight suddenly came to life, struggling to get up. Unfortunately, Lu Ming pierced its body from behind with the Farron Swift Sword, killing it completely.

"Now it's really dead."

"Recovery." Jack shook the holy bell, miraculously healing everyone.

After the wounds healed, Lu Ming and Sham went upstairs to the second floor, stripped the Silver Knight of his equipment, and opened three treasure chests.

"Goddess's Blessing, Lion Ring... What is this? Shouldn't this chest contain Smooth's Hammer?" After opening two treasure chests and getting the exact same items as in the game, the third chest contained a 'Modified Ice Skill Book'.

"Ice Skill Book - Modified: Allows the user and another person to learn a random ice skill."

It comes from the skill book of Ace Loyes, and because it was modified by the people of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, it can be used by two people to learn skills.

P.S.: Cannot be used when alone.

"What the hell is this? It can't even be used by one person." After glancing at the item description, Lu Ming was dumbfounded.
