Chapter 521 Dungeon exploration (1)
If this team were to show up anywhere else, one might even think that they were an invasion force with how well armed we were.
But this was all to deal with this dungeon.
Just like Cecilia had reported, there was nothing special when we entered the dungeon.
After going forward for a bit, we met the slimes that they had encountered before.
This was something that was easy to deal with, so we didn't break formation as we just let the adventurers take care of them.
The adventurers were happy to do so since easy to kill monsters were always welcome. It helped that these slimes were also worth quite a bit.
The slime that they released was a lubricant that the nobles enjoyed using.
As for what they used them for…it was better not to say.
Still, Haley would happily buy the slime from these slimes to sell, so she had already given a price to the adventurers that made them happily charge at the slimes.
As the adventurers cleared out the slimes, we didn't push any further as we remained in formation.
My position in the formation was in the center, where it was the safest. But from this place, I wouldn't be able to see a single thing with everyone surrounding me like this.
So I went forward to the edge of the formation.
When Cecilia saw me moving, she quickly came forward to stop me and asked, "What are you doing?"
I looked at her with a calm look and said, "I'm going to take a look at the walls. I want to see if I can find anything from them."
Cecilia looked like she wanted to stop me, but then it was as if she realized something that stopped her from stopping me.
She looked at me for a bit before slowly giving a nod.
Seeing this, I started walking towards the wall.
The guards and knights that were around me saw this and couldn't help looking at Cecilia with strange looks. But in the end, she gave a nod to them that made them move aside for me.
But they also made sure to follow close to me as I went over to the wall.
They were completely on guard, so they would react as long as anything happened.
However, it was just a simple walk over to the wall, so there was nothing that could happen.
When I came up to the wall, I reached out my hand to tap it before rapping it with my knuckle, as if I was trying to find something. After tapping it a few times, I couldn't help knitting my brows and moving closer to the wall to take a closer look.
Cecilia could tell that this wasn't normal, so she came over to ask, "What's wrong?"
I didn't answer as I leaned up against the wall, putting my face almost right up against it as I looked at the wall carefully.
I even turned to move my ear closer as I rapped it again with my knuckle.
Finally, after a long silence, I finally said, "Come here and take a listen."
Cecilia had a confused look on her face, but she still came over to the wall where I was standing.
I had her put her ear up to the wall and rapped it again with my knuckle.
Cecilia revealed a confused look as she didn't understand what I was doing.
Seeing this, I finally said, "Can't you hear that it's hollow?"
"Huh?" Cecilia couldn't help saying before bringing her ear up to the wall again. This time, she rapped it with her hand as well and her expression quickly changed.
It was clear that she heard what I was talking about.
I didn't mind it as I said, "It seems that there's some kind of space behind these walls."
Cecilia and the others who were standing around me all revealed shocked looks.
Cecilia narrowed her eyes to look at the wall again before taking out her weapon and saying, "Should I try to break it then?"
I stroked my chin thoughtfully before slowly giving a nod and taking a step back.
Cecilia brought out the dildo bat and she swung hard against the wall, but she wasn't able to make a single dent.
This was with the dildo bat that had 50% penetration to it, so it was easy to imagine just how hard this wall was.
Cecilia revealed a surprised look before going in for another swing.
But before she could, I stopped her by saying, "Alright, there's no need for that. There's no knowing what we might stir from hitting it randomly like this."
Cecilia had an unhappy look, but she stopped in the end.
She came back to me and asked, "What should we do about this?"
I said with a shrug, "What can we do about this? Unless we can break through the wall, it isn't as if we can reach whatever is behind it. So there's no point in staying here and worrying about this. We should at least go in and see what the rest of this dungeon is like."
Cecilia didn't answer right away, but she did give a slow nod after a while.
Though there was a clear unhappy look that was still on her face.
In truth, there was something that I knew that could have worked.
While the dildo bats only had a 50% penetration effect, the original had a 99% penetration effect.
So if the original was used, it was very likely that the wall would have been broken.
But I kept quiet about this since I didn't want that to happen.
It might seem contradictory, but I didn't really want to break through the wall.
This place had clearly been made by someone, but I had no idea who that person was or what they wanted to do.
All I knew was that this place was dangerous, so it was best not to poke around too much.
