What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi had joined the adventure team for the second time today, entering the dungeon of Corpse Curtain Cave. They hadn't obtained any materials from mid-level monsters yesterday, but today they had already obtained materials from three mid-level monsters: one from a large speed-swimmer and two from a giant ox-horned snake. However, rather than obtaining more monster materials, they were more eager to find the "treasure chest" they had "seen" yesterday.

After killing the second giant ox-horned snake, they rested on the spot.

You Jiahui first sat on the ground, and then checked the extent of damage to her shield and protective gear.

Yang Mingyi immediately opened her bag, took out the food she had prepared that morning, and began to eat. As she ate, she muttered, "Oh, I was in such a rush on this trip that I forgot I hadn't eaten in ages." She had wanted to eat before heading to the "Final Monster's" lair, but the unpleasant odor in the passage had ruined her appetite.

When Di Wuan and Torsi saw Yang Mingyi eating, they suddenly felt hungry and started eating too.

Ulybian stood up and walked over to check the remaining monster materials of the ox-horned giant snake, then picked it up and said to the others: "This time it's the 'scales' on the giant snake, take a look!" As he said that, he took it and showed it to the others.

The others looked at the monster materials in Uribian's hand, which turned out to be three pieces of "snake scales".

Yang Mingyi said to Ulybian, "I don't understand. Can you give me a piece?" After saying that, she reached out and asked for it.

You Jiahui tugged at Yang Mingyi and said to her, "Why do you want that?" Since the adventure team didn't get anything from the previous mission to defeat the mid-level monster, she didn't want to take anything from the adventure team in the dungeon mission.

Di Wuan said to Uribian, "Give one to a wizard. Anyone who studies magic likes monster materials." When he first became an adventurer, he also knew some wizards.

Torsi said to the others, "I heard from the Merchant Guild that many of the people who buy monster materials are mages. Ulybian, please give one to a mage." He was also happy to give Yang Mingyi a monster material. After all, Yang Mingyi saved him once yesterday and again today.

When Ulybian heard what his two teammates said, he immediately handed one of the "scales" to Yang Mingyi, and then put the others into a bag specially used for monster materials.

Yang Mingyi picked it up and looked at it for a while, then sniffed it and thought to herself, "What's that smell? I don't see anything special. Forget it, I'll take it back and look at it slowly..." Thinking of this, she put the "scales" into her bag and continued to eat.

You Jiahui murmured doubtfully, "Will it really help with magic..." She began to wonder whether studying monster materials could help with the "halo magic" that she didn't know how to use yet.

After finishing the food, Yang Mingyi asked the adventure team, "This is our first time in the dungeon. We have only seen low-level monsters gathering together, but we have never seen mid-level monsters gathering together. Why is that?" She was very curious about this question, and Qi Xinyang did not tell her the reason when he told her the story.

Torsi also didn't understand this and said to Yang Mingyi: "Yes, each of the high-level monsters in this dungeon has its own big nest. This is the first time we have seen a high-level monster with our own eyes. As for the mid-level monsters, the ones we have seen before did appear alone." After saying that, he threw the last bite of food in his hand into his mouth.

Ulybian said to the others, "It might be related to the density of magical energy. What do you think? The more suppressed the magical energy, the more likely it is that high-level monsters will appear." He looked at this and that, trying to see what others thought.

Torsi said to Eurybian, "If monsters really need to absorb magical energy, then once a high-level monster appears, it will absorb a large amount of magical energy and occupy one place, which is why other monsters cannot exist..." After saying that, he was not very sure, and continued to think about other possibilities with his head down.

Eurypian said to Torsi, "If we infer this way, those places where low-level monsters gather, if left unattended, will very likely become places where mid-level monsters gather..." After saying that, he fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it, Yang Mingyi said to Torsi and Ulybian, "I feel that your reasoning makes sense. Maybe that's the case. Since this dungeon is overflowing, there may be other places that were originally low-level monsters, but now they have become places for mid-level monsters..." When she said this, she began to get goose bumps and suddenly felt a little scared.

You Jiahui said to Yang Mingyi, "Let's just look for that treasure chest and forget about the other mid-level monsters." It wasn't that she didn't want to continue fighting, but she figured it would be almost nightfall by the time she found the treasure chest, so it would be best to exit the dungeon. She didn't want to see all the monsters respawn on her way back.

After hearing this, Yang Mingyi immediately said to the others: "Yes, yes, yes! Once we find the treasure chest, we will hurry out." She expressed her full agreement with You Jiahui's words.

After a while, they set off again.

After being ambushed twice in a row, they moved even more cautiously this time, and everyone had their weapons in hand. Their pace was even slower than before, and it could be said that they were moving with great caution at every step.

After fighting the first speed-swimmer with dual swords for a while, You Jiahui immediately gave up on them. She realized that using dual swords was too extreme. Against monsters that primarily rely on impact attacks, a sword and shield would be more reliable. So today, she fought almost exclusively with sword and shield, a significant difference from yesterday.

You Jiahui said to Di Wuan, "Captain, if you see that kind of big snake with ox horns again, please help me attract its attention." After saying that, she gripped the shield tightly and moved her shoulders a few times.

After hearing this, Di Wuan immediately understood what to do. He said to You Jiahui, "Okay! I'll find a way to attract attention." He then continued to observe the sky above. Ever since he saw that ox-horned snake attack from above, he had been worried about being attacked again. He was the only one in their group who had a helmet. If anyone else were hit by a horned snake like that from above, they would definitely die on the spot.

After walking a short distance and passing through a relatively narrow passage, You Jiahui immediately reached out to stop the others behind her. She actually saw another giant ox-horned snake, the third one she had encountered in this dungeon.

You Jiahui thought to herself, "When we encounter this monster, the best way is to prevent it from casting spells and then attacking us. It would be best if we take action first, after all, it is better to 'strike first and gain the advantage'." Thinking of this, she turned her head and pointed with her finger to indicate that there was a situation ahead.

The others looked in the direction You Jiahui pointed and immediately spotted the giant snake with ox horns.

Di Wuan immediately raised his shield and walked in front of You Jiahui, and said softly to You Jiahui behind him: "Sir Knight, I will charge directly."

You Jiahui thought of the situation when she killed the first fast-swimming monster today, and immediately decided to follow Di Wuan and look for an opportunity to attack.

Di Wuan raised his shield and rushed directly towards the ox-horned snake. He used his shield technique "Wild Charge"! His sudden attack immediately attracted the attention of the ox-horned snake. Of course, as expected, he was knocked back several steps by the ox-horned snake's horn.

At this moment, You Jiahui, also under Di Wuan's cover, seized the opportunity to launch a sudden diagonal attack from behind. After dodging Di Wuan's knockback, she was already within striking distance of the ox-horned snake's head. She had originally intended to attack the snake's eyes, but she rushed forward too far, so she had to immediately switch to attacking the back of the snake's head.

In a flash, You Jiahui immediately drew her sword and attacked the ox-horned snake, which had no time to retreat and was completely defenseless. Countless piercing sounds were heard, as she used her short sword to perform the longsword technique of "continuous stabbing"!

After the "Bull Head" suffered a severe blow, the big snake with bull horns immediately collapsed to the ground and then stopped moving.

You Jiahui took a closer look and realized she had actually torn a large hole in the back of the ox-horned snake's head. She suddenly became confused and thought, "Could it be that the 'seven-inch' point isn't its weak point..." She had no idea where the ox-horned snake's weak point was.

When the others saw the big snake with ox horns lying motionless on the ground, they immediately rushed to You Jiahui's side.

Yang Mingyi asked You Jiahui, "Why is it so fast this time? What happened?" She felt very incredible about what had just happened.

Seeing this situation, You Jiahui didn't know how to explain it.

Torsi forced an explanation and said to the others: "Could it be the same kind of monster? Some are strong and some are weak..." After saying that, he also looked uncertain.

Yang Mingyi asked Torsi, "Is that so?" Her tone clearly showed suspicion of Torsi's statement.

Torsi replied to Yang Mingyi, "I don't know, I'm just guessing, just guessing." He glanced at the others, wanting to see what they had to say about this.

However, Diwuan and Uribian just stared blankly at the corpse of the giant horned snake lying on the ground, not knowing what to say.

Yang Mingyi looked puzzled and muttered, "Maybe there really are strong and weak ones... If everything is simple, then wouldn't it be ridiculous to have gone to so much trouble just now?" After saying that, she looked at You Jiahui.

You Jiahui got angry and asked Yang Mingyi, "What do you mean?" Her expression looked like she was about to get "angry."

Yang Mingyi quickly said to You Jiahui: "No, no, no! It's us... I'm the one who's ridiculous!" She just spoke without thinking again after speaking without thinking.

You Jiahui glared at Yang Mingyi and said to her, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!" She was originally thinking about the "weaknesses" of the monster, but her thoughts were interrupted.

After hearing You Jiahui's "naughtiness", Yang Mingyi immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.

After waiting for a while, they saw the body of the giant snake with ox horns completely dissipate.

Ulybian said to the others, "There are no monster materials this time. Maybe you are right." He began to agree with Torsi's statement.

Di Wuan said to Uribian: "Are you judging the strength of a monster based on its materials? Are you sure it's not a coincidence?" He still had some doubts about "that statement".

Torsi immediately said to Di Wuan: "Captain, we used to fight low-level monsters, maybe mid-level and high-level monsters are like this." After saying that, he winked at Di Wuan vigorously.

Di Wuan didn't understand Torsi's eye signal, and then asked Torsi, "Then how do you explain the high-level monster with the 'big flower'?" His question directly hit the point.

Torsi was completely speechless, unsure how to respond. He had only intended to stick with his previous statement, exonerating Yang Mingyi and calming You Jiahui's anger, but who knew there was such a flaw? Furthermore, he had no idea that the "hairpin" on You Jiahui's head was the remaining demonic material from the Hundred Hands Flower. If he had known this, his explanation would have been flawless.

After a while, You Jiahui said to the others, "Okay! Don't think about this problem anymore. Let's continue exploring. Finding the treasure chest is the most important thing." After that, she walked straight forward.

When the others saw You Jiahui set off again, they immediately followed.

After another long walk, this time they were very cautious and careful, but they didn't encounter any monsters again. Then, they came to the shallow water again.

Yang Mingyi said to the others, "Look! There are two forks in the shallow water ahead." As she spoke, she pointed ahead.

Eurypian asked the others, "Have we gone around in a circle and come back?" He was speaking entirely based on his feeling, as the direction of the channel just now made him doubtful.

Yang Mingyi asked Ulybian, "Really?" Then she looked at both forks in the road, but couldn't tell whether it was the way they came.

Thorsi suddenly realized and said to the others, "Oh, I see! So we just came out from this shallow water area. The left fork leads back to where the large fast-swimming monster is, and the right fork leads to the area we haven't explored yet."

After hearing this, Di Wuan agreed with Torsi's statement and said to the others, "Yes, that should be the case."

Yang Mingyi asked the others, "Then the treasure chest must be up ahead, right?"

You Jiahui replied to Yang Mingyi, "It's very likely. Let's go!"
