Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

What do you do when you encounter a pile of monsters?

The answer is Hound Step, Hound Step, Hound Step.

This combat skill was already strong in the game, and it's ridiculously powerful in the otherworld because it really does have invincible frames!

As the Huge Living Corpse's large club swung down, Steeran quickly used the Hound Step. The next moment, her figure vanished without a trace, reappearing several steps away.

"Wow,"

She really hadn't expected this unremarkably named combat skill to be so formidable!

"Wu~ You can't hit me, you can't hit me,"

She was now completely immersed in the game of teasing the Huge Living Corpse with the Hound Step.

However, after using it several more times, Steeran could feel her strength waning and had to stop to rest.

"Ao ah!"

The Huge Living Corpse seized the opportunity and charged at her, looking like it was about to land a hit.

Gong Qiying grabbed hold of Steeran and also used the Hound Step, dodging the attack with her in tow.

"Don't be too arrogant, one mistake and you could die,"

"Oh..."

After a brief recovery, the two of them kept using Hound Step as they moved along and safely passed through the dangerous streets.

To continuously use a combat skill, that's how powerful it is!

Steeran suffered some minor injuries; a monster perched on the rooftop hit her in the butt with a poison arrow from a blow dart, causing her complexion to change erratically in pain.

As long as they moved out of the street's range, the monsters wouldn't chase after them. But the monsters that followed were still numerous and bothersome. Gong Qiying, knowing that the adventurers would be greatly weakened after battling their way down Fat Bro Street, deliberately placed strong monsters behind them.

But for Steeran, who had grasped the true essence of Shield Stab, as long as she was careful, she could get past them, especially with the protection of Gong Qiying.

Finally, they arrived in front of the Fog Gate.

"What is this?" Steeran looked at the door filled with white fog in front of her, sensing that something extraordinary would happen once she entered.

"A Boss Monster's room," Gong Qiying casually asked, "The other dungeons don't have this kind of thing, do they?"

Steeran shook her head, "In other dungeons... you enter the door and battle with the boss, but there's no white fog,"

She looked at the Fog Gate and sighed, "It's quite oppressive,"

After they passed through the Fog Gate, and when they could clearly see what the Boss Monster looked like, Steeran's face stiffened.

Because it was a Giant Curse Frog!

She immediately remembered the painful experience of being chased by a group of Curse Frogs in the Poison Swamp, and her shield-arm trembled.

Seeing her reaction, Gong Qiying revealed a satisfied smile. It wasn't in vain that he had specifically placed a Giant Curse Frog here after seeing Steeran, just to enjoy this delicious expression!

"I'm going in!"

Only by overcoming fear can one move forward; Steeran, holding the Big Shield, charged in!

The Curse Frog shot out its tongue.

The Big Shield was swept away!

"Eh... Eh!?"

Suddenly deprived of the protection of the Big Shield, Steeran felt helpless, as if stripped bare and without a sense of security.

However, she quickly recovered, holding the Riding Spear and charging forward she pierced the Giant Curse Frog's lower jaw. The Monster cried out in pain and spat the Big Shield back out.

"My precious," Steeran, reclaiming her Big Shield, beamed with joy. She began classic Shield Stabs against the Giant Curse Frog, and before long, the frog's body was covered in wounds.

"Pfft!"

The Giant Curse Frog suddenly shot out a fog of curse death, forcing Steeran back, then leaped onto the ceiling and roared loudly.

The walls crumbled, revealing a series of large holes, as many eerie light points slowly lit up.

"Hey, no way?"

Steeran's hair stood on end. If she wasn't mistaken, these light points were—

A swarm of small Curse Frogs!

At a glance, there appeared to be over ten Curse Frogs, all summoned by the Giant Curse Frog as its minions, now eyeing Steeran with covetous gaze.

"F*ck..."

She turned her head to look at Gong Qiying and called out, "Help me out!"

"Okay,"

Gong Qiying pulled out a small, wet sickle, but that thing was specially designed for PVP and wasn't much use against Monsters, so he then took out a Magic Wand.

[Meteor Staff]

[Combat Skill: Spin]

[Required Spiritual Power per Unit: 200]

[Rating: C]

Luminous Stone Magic Gravel!

Magic Radiant Sword!

Meteorite Ball!

Various special effects that were ordinary but practical Spells were consecutively cast by him, and the Curse Frog group couldn't even resist before they were all wiped out.

Steeran's expression was like that of an old person on the subway playing with their phone because she discovered that these Spells were yet another thing she'd never seen before.

"The Magic you're using, did you find it in the Dungeon?" she curiously asked.

"You can pick up scrolls that record Magic in the deeper layers," Gong Qiying said, "Want to learn?"

Steeran nodded her head repeatedly.

"Unfortunately, the scroll can only be used by one person," he shrugged his shoulders, "If you want it, you'll have to go down and get it yourself,"

A fighting spirit ignited in Steeran's eyes.

Just then, the Giant Curse Frog realized its Curse Frog group had been annihilated and emitted an angry roar, pushing off with its hind legs and pouncing over!

"I'll do it!"

She took the initiative to raise her Big Shield in front of Gong Qiying, standing as immovable as a mountain!

Gong Qiying fell silent for a moment, I was going to say I could dodge it...

It seems it's time for Shield Stab again.

Before long, the Giant Curse Frog crashed to the ground, its massive body transforming into smoke and dissipating, leaving behind a purple light point.

Steeran glanced at Gong Qiying, who made a beckoning gesture and said, "You take it. That thing is no use to me anymore,"

"Thanks,"

She bowed and walked over to pick up the light point, and suddenly a message appeared in her mind.

[Soul of the Giant Curse Frog]

[Using it by the campfire can slightly enhance one's physical constitution]

[Direct use can yield a large amount of souls]

"Campfire? What campfire?"

Steeran doubted her own language comprehension skills, direct use can yield a large amount of souls? What souls?

What do I need souls for, I'm not a Necromancer.

Now it was time for the commentator, Gong Qiying, to make his appearance.

"This is the campfire,"

Following the direction he pointed, she saw that after the Curse Frog's death, an unlit campfire suddenly appeared in the room with a Spiral Sword inserted on top of the pile.

"Try lighting the campfire,"

"So mysterious," Steeran tossed a match into it, and the campfire immediately ignited with a warm flame, as if sitting there for a while could relax one's spirit.

At that moment, a line of text appeared in front of her: Do you wish to use the Soul of the Giant Curse Frog?

"Uh, let's use it,"

The Soul of the Giant Curse Frog was cast into the campfire. The next moment, the campfire burst into fierce flames, and at the same time, Steeran felt a warm and indescribable comfort throughout her body.

Then she startlingly discovered—

"My strength has increased?!"
