"We found hidden passages on the third floor. Ghosts roamed in those passages. We defeated a blue ghost and got a particularly powerful buff, which greatly increased our efficiency in fighting the Minotaur.

So, the captain suggested hunting more ghosts, so we killed a lot of ghosts, and then walked to the center of the third floor which was surrounded by walls on all sides.

There was a special minotaur there, wearing strange armor.

Because we had a lot of buffs, we almost killed the Minotaur in one second. The Minotaur dropped a lot of equipment and a strange ring.

As soon as our captain picked up the ring, everyone was teleported to a special space.

There, there is a giant monster that will ask you questions.

Because they had received a lot of bonuses, our captain thought that the monster in front of them would become vulnerable, so they rushed over, and before their swords touched the monster, they all turned into ashes.

In the end, I was the only one who survived."

At the end of his speech, Kalugada lowered his head bitterly and burst into tears.

Kalugada's words were ambiguous in many places. Yang Yu tried hard to integrate the information in his words, picked out a few key questions, and continued to ask.

"What's the problem with that monster?", "What kind of armor is that, what kind of strange ring is that?", "How did you find the hidden passage?"

In response to Yang Yu's questions, Kalugada shook his head and either answered with "I don't know, I don't know" or "That was done by the captain."

It seems that he really doesn't know.

No matter how much he asked, he couldn't get any useful information. Yang Yu took out food and water and gave them to Kalugada. He showed him the direction of the town and let Kalugada leave on his own.

Watching Kalugada wolfing down food while escaping from the dungeon, Yang Yu sighed. He forgot to ask Kalugada to give him the experience points.

"Forget it. He just lost an important companion. It's better for him not to be a disrespectful person this time. We'll talk about it next time we meet."

Retracting his gaze, Yang Yu looked at Bai Jin and Yi Ya Si beside him, "Bai Jin, Yi Ya Si, we will set up camp here."

"It should still be in time to go back now, right? There's no need to set up camp in a place like this." Iyas said, looking at Yang Yu. Yang Yu's expression clearly showed that he was planning something. Although he didn't know what Yang Yu was planning, it was definitely not a good thing. "Didn't you say that those were monsters we couldn't deal with? You wouldn't suddenly change your mind, right?"

"You can say that." Yang Yu smiled, took out various things from the system and spread them out on the spot.

"Why so sudden?"

"Probably because this is probably one of the relatively easy dungeons to clear."

"Clear the level? Didn't you hear what that man just said? There are monsters there that can kill people instantly! And they can kill people instantly without their swords even touching them. I don't think we can handle it!"

Whenever Iyas recalled the dark aura coming from the dungeon, she shuddered. After hearing what Kalugada said, she never wanted to set foot in that dungeon again.

"It is precisely because it is a monster that can kill people instantly that we are able to capture it."

A smile appeared on Yang Yu's face as he took out a flowerpot and planted a four-leaf clover. When He Meng saw it, he immediately jumped out of Bai Jin's hood and ate it with relish.

"Your words don't make any sense! Explain them to me from the beginning."

Iyas had no idea where the confidence of the man in front of her came from, but she believed that Yang Yu’s confidence could not be without reason.

She is very curious.

Curious about what Yang Yu discovered.

However, Yang Yu did not answer any of her questions. He just smiled at her and took out some bread and dried meat and shared them with her.

"Come with me, and you'll understand. Eat and rest. We'll move at midnight. You don't have to follow me. I can probably handle it alone. You can find a safe place to hide, especially Iyas. Be careful of any adventurers passing by who might be plotting against you."

"Huh? I know that without you telling me." Iyas sulked and took a bite of bread. "In the end, you still don't want to tell me, what exactly did you notice?"

Yang Yu smiled but said nothing.

Bai Jin gently pulled Yang Yu's sleeve and said, "I will go with you. I will definitely be useful."

Don't look at me as if saying "If you don't let me go, I will curse you forever". Look at me, I really won't abandon you and run away, especially Bai Jin. I raised you all the way to level 30. You should be the one who doesn't want to run away.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the big scene. It will increase your psychological endurance."

"The way you said it sounds like I don't have any psychological endurance." While chewing the dry bread, Iyas glared at Yang Yu fiercely.

Yang Yu glared back at Iyas, "Isn't it? Are you coming or not? If not, get out."

"You are such a jerk! Can't I do it?"

As an excellent elf warrior, Iyas will not give in easily.

Damn it, I just don’t believe that I can’t be braver than this man!

The night gradually deepened and the moon and stars were dim.

After his physical strength was almost recovered, Yang Yu lit the torch and entered the maze of [Hall of Wisdom] again.

Following the stairs all the way down, Yang Yu and his companions finally stepped into the third level of the dungeon. However, the previous fork in the road seemed to have never existed and had completely disappeared.

Iyas immediately ran over and gently knocked on the wall where the fork in the road used to be. The "clicking" sound continued, and Iyas suddenly doubted her life.

This wall is real. Could it be that the road here before was fake

She looked at Yang Yu, and his calm gaze seemed to tell her not to make a fuss, this was normal.

What the hell is normal? Such a big passage just disappeared in an instant. Aren’t you nervous

“Don’t be nervous! Iyas, be more natural. If you want to conquer this [Hall of Wisdom], it will take a lot of time and brainpower. Your IQ may not be enough. If something magical happens, please stay calm.”

Iyas suddenly couldn't understand what Yang Yu said, "Huh? What on earth are you talking about? What magical thing?"

Yang Yu was too lazy to explain too much to Yias, he just asked Bai Jin and Yias to stay where they were and walked the same route they took the first time, then returned to the two of them along the same route, then walked to the wall that Yias knocked on and stretched out his hand.

Then, a scene that shocked Iyas happened.

Yang Yu's hand actually passed through the wall, and his entire body passed through the wall as if it had no substance.

Iyas hurriedly walked to the wall, stretched out her hand, but all she touched was the cold wall.

At this moment, Yang Yu seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world.
