Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

It wasn't just Fanen who learned something that day.

Gong Qiying also gained a lot of knowledge about Hidden Blood Parasites.

At the same time, he received a little help from the Bonds Dungeon.

As everyone knows, the Bonds Dungeon possesses a permission called [Bonds Link], allowing permissions to be shared between dungeons. The previous timed event at the Meteor Shower wouldn't have been as spectacular without Youlesa.

Today, Youlesa came to Sain Dungeon primarily because she received a message from Gong Qiying requesting assistance.

Initially, she thought he had encountered some insurmountable danger, only to find out after arriving that he simply wanted to use the [Bonds Link] permission to share permissions with other Dungeon Lords.

The dungeon sharing its permission with Sain's is called the Surprise Dungeon. Its City Lord had learned a lot from Gong Qiying's teachings, which is why he agreed to share the permission [Surprise Expansion].

Actually, the ability of this permission is just to expand the range where Underground City Teleportation Gates can be built.

Considering that the initial area around the Sain Dungeon teleportation gate was already blocked by an endless stream of those parasitized, Fanen would have faced certain death trying to get out of there. So, Gong Qiying approached Surprise Dungeon and exchanged more of his techniques for temporary use of this permission.

Thus, survivors now found a second teleportation gate, two blocks away from the first one. This area would not deliberately attract more of those parasitized, and was specifically designed for the survivors.

He wasn't planning on establishing opening and closing times for the gate set in Red's dungeon, deciding to keep it open at all hours.

With the current ghostly state of the city, who knows when survivors might need to hide inside the dungeon for survival. If they happened to arrive when the dungeon was closed, that would not be amusing.

After Youlesa arrived at Sain Dungeon and connected the permissions between the Sain and Surprise Dungeons using her abilities, she didn't immediately leave but observed how Gong Qiying handled those parasites.

As she watched, she furrowed her brows.

How should I put this? It seemed very efficient and quick, but... she couldn't understand.

If she were to describe her thoughts after watching for a while, it would probably be:

Sain Dungeon!

Why can the monsters you created attract parasites?

Why are your monsters not controlled once the parasites invade?

Why are the parasites willingly coming to you one after another?

Then there can only be one answer!

Youlesa looked at Gong Qiying with a complicated expression, while he was enthusiastically observing the bloody scene of the parasitized being slaughtered, smiling without realizing it himself.

Gedwin, you are the astonishing elder Red Teeth spoke of!

No wonder Red Teeth confidently backed off after hearing that Gedwin would take my job, trusting him this much.

Youlesa intended to hang around Gong Qiying a bit longer to observe his operations, but before long, encountered a mutant like Meat Mountain.

"Even this thing can be attracted?" she exclaimed in surprise.

"This is also a parasite, of course it can be attracted," Gong Qiying said matter-of-factly.

"..."

At this point, I can't even mention the fact that I couldn't even attract a single mutant back then.

Youlesa obediently shut her mouth, preparing to watch Gong Qiying's actions.

This mutant, no different in size from Meat Mountain, was not the first to be attracted into Sain Dungeon but was arguably the strongest one, so for now, let's call it Meat Mountain.

Half of its flabby flesh was a patchwork of various corpses, and the other half was made up of many parasites, as thick as an adult's arm, interwoven to form a constantly wriggling body.

Notably, those thick parasites were identical to the one controlling the burly middle-aged man!

So, could it be that this guy came up with the idea to attack the shelter?

The moment other parasitized entered, they lunged at the nearest Yarn citizens, yet Meat Mountain remained motionless, standing tightly against the teleportation gate. Its organ, barely recognizable as an eye, glimmered slyly as if prepared to flee if the situation went awry.

Parasitized continually charged forth from the teleportation gate behind it, and it would raise its hand, tossing them like cannonballs, yet even with limbs broken, they would drag themselves towards the beastified citizens with determined eyes.

"This one's intelligence isn't low, huh."

Gong Qiying locked his eyes onto this creature, aware that parasites communicated intelligence among themselves, and this Meat Mountain was likely lured in by other parasites.

Creatures that had mutated to this extent usually only roamed in their territory but came to Sain Dungeon for one reason only.

"As expected, the choice to let a few escape was wise."

The intelligence of the parasites he let escape was just right to convey "there is something good over at the dungeon" but not "there is something good but dangerous at the dungeon."

Yet the mutant Meat Mountain undoubtedly had the capacity to transmit "there is danger here," so...

"He must not be allowed to leave."
