Chapter 23: Chapter23-The Guardian of the First Floor of the Dungeon
Whitty continued to eat the berries on the ground.
Ethan looked at the food consumption of 10 Earth Dragon Laborers in a day being swallowed by Whitty, and it seemed effortless.
He felt a lot of pressure.
He estimated that if Whitty ate like this every day, his food supply would not keep up with the consumption.
Thinking of this, Ethan felt a headache.
In that case, it would be better to kill the mysterious monster as soon as possible.
Without the threat, the unknown area could be re-entered by the resource collection team.
With the food collection in the unknown area, it could barely support the food consumption in the camp.
Ethan regrouped the team and called over the Spearman and Divine Dragon Warrior.
Except for the resource exploration team, all of Ethan's combat power was here.
Ethan didn't waste any words and directly stated today's goal - to kill the mysterious monster.
Then the team set off in a mighty manner and arrived at the cave entrance in no time.
Ethan first sent out ordinary goblins.
These guys were descendants of Holy Light Goblins.
By this generation, Divine Dragon Bloodline was even scarcer, almost no different from ordinary goblins.
The only difference was that they had Holy Light power.
And goblin's Holy Light power could heal their own wounds.
This power was very useful as cannon fodder and to consume enemy's power.
Ordinary goblins formed three-person teams and headed for the cave.
Nothing happened when they reached the cave entrance.
Ethan continued to command the goblins to go deeper into the cave.
The leading goblin lit a simple torch and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave.
The light of the torch instantly attracted hundreds of bats in the cave.
They flew out of the cave, covering the sky.
This scene was very spectacular.
After the bat swarm flew away, goblins continued to go deeper.
Suddenly a scream came from goblin.
The torch fell to the ground in an instant.
The leading goblin was bitten by some beast.
Ethan's face sank and immediately commanded Divine Dragon Warriors to join the fight.
If Ethan's judgment was correct, this mysterious monster was at least D+ level.
Ordinary goblins were too weak and couldn't cause effective damage to it.
With Divine Dragon Warrior joining in, the cave entrance became crowded.
Ethan also activated his Divine Dragon Form and flew in mid-air to observe the situation.
He saw a leopard-like monster spit out goblin's limbs on the ground, constantly growling, its sharp teeth shining in torchlight.
Ethan frowned, was this mysterious monster a leopard?
A Divine Dragon Warrior stormed in, but the leopard didn't attack anymore.
It circled around the Divine Dragon Warrior, looking for flaws.
The Divine Dragon Warrior wouldn't let him go like that, killing the leopard in two or three strokes.
Just as Divine Dragon Warrior returned triumphantly, Ethan felt a breath from deep in cave.
"Watch out!"
Ethan's voice just fell, the Divine Dragon Warrior hadn't turned his head yet, and was instantly caught by sharp claws.
The strong dragon scale defense was also useless in front of claws, instantly split apart.
The dying Divine Dragon Warrior took his trident and attacked the mysterious monster, but heard a sound of metal clashing.
[Ding! Warning, Divine Dragon Warrior has died!]
Ethan flew forward, covering other Divine Dragon Warriors to retreat.
At the same time he let Spearman prepare to throw, if the mysterious monster wanted to continue attacking, use spears to block it for a moment.
He opened his aura, and pressure from Divine Dragon Bloodline oppressed inside cave.
The Mysterious monster also seemed to be startled, bright eyes in cave staring at Ethan dead on.
When Divine Dragon Warrior retreated to safety, he also slowly retreated back.
Ethan deactivated his Divine Dragon Form, pretending to be exhausted, to lure mysterious monster out.
The terrain inside cave was complex and it would be easy for Divine Dragon Warriors to be defeated one by one because of the terrain.
The Mysterious monster felt Divine Dragon aura decline and its confidence increased instantly.
It turned out that just now aura was all made by this human!
He suddenly came out of cave and his full appearance made Ethan excited.
White wings occasionally flashed white lines that were very similar to Whitty's eggshell lines before.
The Mysterious monster spread his wings and raised his head and howled.
And Whitty who was still immersed in berry world in camp suddenly raised her head and looked at Ethan's direction with confusion in her eyes.
The Mysterious monster leaped forward with both legs and jumped in front of Ethan.
The system immediately gave out panel of the mysterious monster in front of Ethan.
[Name: White Phoenix (fifth generation, Bloodline concentration is 10%)]
Intelligence: Unknown
Strength: Unknown
Enhancement direction: Unknown
Description: A wild monster, fifth generation of White Phoenix clan, low Bloodline concentration, strength estimated to be D+ to C level. Please be careful, host.]
Ethan's face flashed a strange look.
He really guessed it.
He was indeed a member of White Phoenix clan, but why did he appear here?
He looked at the White Phoenix with a bad face.
Even if you are Whitty's clan, you can't be so presumptuous here!
He was about to attack when Whitty's voice suddenly sounded.
"Master, wait!"
Whitty flew over anxiously and stood between Ethan and the White Phoenix.
Whitty's appearance made the White Phoenix's attitude instantly affectionate, there was even a bit of envy in his eyes.
"Master, he is my clan. He may have noticed my breath when I hatched. He thought I was captured by humans and wanted to save me. That's why he attacked goblins. The bones piled at the entrance of cave are not his doing. We White Phoenix clan are omnivorous animals, but we mostly eat berries and the like, rarely meat."
Ethan nodded and looked at submissive White Phoenix and said: "Then now I sign a contract with him?"
Whitty shook her head very humanely and said: "No need for that master, I have subdued him. His Bloodline concentration is too low, I don't even need to show my strength and he voluntarily submitted. He can now communicate with you mentally."
Ethan raised his eyebrows and looked at the White Phoenix and said: "Can you hear me now?"
A deep male voice sounded in his mind.
"I can hear you, master."
Ethan's mouth showed a faint smile.
It seemed that this White Phoenix was quite obedient.
"Then from now on your name is Baymax."
"Okay."
Ethan looked at Baymax and his eyes lit up with an idea.
Whitty's strength could eventually grow to A+ level, as the guardian of the first floor of dungeon it was a bit overkill.
Now that he had Baymax, this vacancy also had a candidate.
Ethan said to Baymax: "Now I appoint you as the guardian of the first level of the dungeon, are you willing?"
Baymax nodded quickly. "I am willing."
[Ding! Congratulations to host for subduing wild White Phoenix, panel specific information has been updated, please check.]
Ethan opened Baymax's panel again.
[Name: Baymax (White Phoenix)]
Intelligence: Adult male
Strength: C (growing period, mature period can reach C+)
Enhancement direction: Need to increase Bloodline concentration first]
Ethan nodded with satisfaction.
C-level strength could make him rest easy for now.
Then Ethan buried Divine Dragon Warrior's corpse and returned to camp.
And in the dark, a pair of pink eyes saw all this.
...
And at this time The Minotaur team found a camp in front.
They saw mostly women wearing revealing clothes with black wings on their backs in camp.
But they had horns and hooves, which looked very unnatural.
The Minotaur team estimated distance from camp to where they were, it was almost 10 kilometers.
That phoenix phantom was likely here.
Then Minotaur team rested for a while and then attacked camp!
