The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 465 Adventure ([-])

After explaining the information of the upper area, the time and noon came, so everyone took out the ingredients prepared in advance, set up a bonfire outside the refuge, and had a delicious bonfire picnic.

After lunch, Uchiha Kazuhiko and Sato Kazuma also recovered to their best condition, so they let Megumin stay outside, took Aqua and Darkness to re-enter the dungeon, and began to explore the lower area of ​​the dungeon.

As soon as he entered the passageway in the lower area, a blood-eyed monster that looked like a pangolin but had some bony spikes on its back roared and charged towards everyone.

"Everyone be careful!"

As the MT of the team, Darkness immediately drew out his new weapon, the big sword, and blocked the path of the blood-eyed monster.

"Bang!!"

It's not a wide passage, and there's not much room to move around. The simple-minded blood-eyed monster didn't have the idea of ​​bypassing Darkness to attack other people. Its body curled up into a ball and hit Darkness's body heavily. .

"Hiss~"

"Ah~~"

The wailing wailing of the blood-eyed monster and Darkness's 'crying' sounded at the same time, and the result of the collision is self-evident. With Kazuhiko Uchiha's shot of a frost arrow, the one who chose the wrong target Unlucky ghost, it has become a fairly expensive experience value.

"Hoohoo."

Darkness's eyes were shining, his face was flushed, he kept panting heavily, and said excitedly: "As expected of a monster in the dungeon, its attack power is much stronger than that of the monsters outside. It's really very comfortable."

The people who had long been accustomed to it ignored Darkness's actions and continued to explore. After eliminating several waves of monsters, they arrived at a relatively remote small palace in the lower area.

After entering the small palace, everyone did not find the existence of underground monsters and undead creatures, so they searched inside to see if they could find high-value items such as treasures.

"Hey, everyone, look over there, there seems to be something."

Aqua, who was the most active, seemed to have found something in a corner of the palace, and shouted expectantly.

Everyone heard the reputation, and found that in a small corner of the palace, there was a huge box with luxurious exterior decoration.

"Haha, that's great, this dungeon exploration is really the right one, and we found a big treasure chest."

In front of the tempting treasure, Akuya lost her vigilance, or in other words, with her wisdom, she didn't notice anything wrong at all, like a child attracted by candy, happily preparing to open the box.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't you think it's strange that a treasure chest suddenly appears in a dungeon where everyone has searched for treasures a few times?"

Sato and Makoto stopped the reckless Aqua with quick eyes and hands, and at the same time aimed at the treasure chest to release the ability to perceive the enemy.

"The perception skill has responded. It really isn't a real treasure chest. It should be the legendary [Treasure Box Monster]."

Sato Kazuma told the result of the skill detection, and then let go of Aqua who had calmed down.

"Although the treasure monster can't move, it can mimic a part of its body as a treasure chest or money, attracting prey to take the bait."

Uchiha Kazuhiko also knew information about this monster, and added: "I heard that there is a special treasure box monster that can mimic human beings and trap some monsters that like to attack humans."

"It turns out that this is the rarest [Treasure Box Monster] in the dungeon. I didn't expect to meet it in such a low-level dungeon. Let me try its reaction."

Having said that, Akua picked up a brick from the abandoned palace, and threw it towards the monster.

The brick drew a parabola in the air, and fell towards the ground next to the treasure chest. The moment it touched the ground, the surrounding walls and the floor suddenly trembled, and the treasure box monster opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the brick whole. down.

What was thought to be just the walls and the floor before was wriggling like the stomach of some kind of creature, as if it was chewing the brick it had just swallowed, which made people feel creepy.

"Huh, that's disgusting." Akua looked at the unattractive Pokmon in disgust, and urged Kazuhiko Uchiha, "Kazuhiko, hurry up and destroy it."

"Okay, [Blazing Fireball]!"

Uchiha Kazuhiko released a fireball, bombarded the big box disguised by the monster, ignited the monster's body, and made it scream heart-piercingly.

The treasure box monster has no hands and feet, and it cannot release the cold air that extinguishes the flames like General Winter. The body is reduced to ashes under the burning of the flames, and it can no longer trap and kill adventurers who come here in the future.

Because of the treasure box monster, everyone did not stay in this palace, and continued to go deep into the dungeon.

Just like the investigation in the morning, nearly a hundred undead creatures whose strength is close to that of a medium-sized monster appeared strangely in this simple dungeon used for leveling by novices.

Kazuhiko Uchiha really couldn't imagine how the novice adventurers who entered here before dealt with such a large number of undead monsters. Could it be that every team has a high priest like Akuya?
And Akuya, who finally had a place to use, in order to earn more bounties, continuously released holy magic to purify the undead creatures that appeared one by one, and even when he reached the wall at the end of the passage, he was still like a ghost. Like an excited cat, sniffing around for the scent of undead creatures.

Sato Kazuma looked around, but didn't see a passage to continue on, and asked, "This seems to be the end, what should I do, do I want to go back?"

Uchiha Kazuhiko shook his head slightly, and reminded: "The dungeon shouldn't end so easily. Let's look here carefully to see if there are any mechanisms or other devices."

"Yes," Sato Kazuma suddenly realized, and then arranged: "Let's split up and see if we can find anything unusual."

"Hmph, I didn't know that the goddess would be involved in such a simple matter, so I left it to you. I want to recover my magic power." Akuya wanted to be lazy, so she sat aside and rested under the pretext of recovering her magic power.

Compared with the lazy Aqua, Sato Kazuma and Darkness are much more industrious. Together with Uchiha Kazuhiko, they investigate the wall blocking the way and other suspicious places around them.

After investigating for more than ten minutes, everyone still found nothing useful. Instead, because of the breath of living people, several undead creatures attacked again.

Just when everyone gave up exploring and was about to go back home, a part of the wall suddenly turned to the side and opened by itself, revealing a passable door.

At the same time, a muffled and deep old voice came from the dark door.

"Hehe, is the high priest finally here?"
