I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Master, you've finally arrived!"

After Liz and Sassi found Anno, the tension on their faces faded.

"How is the situation?"

Anno glanced at everyone and immediately asked.

"The Shadow Force has been completely wiped out, and most of the human soldiers and mercenaries inside the castle are also dead."

Buck stepped forward to report: "When the Shadow Forces went up, they destroyed the passage leading to Hidden Dragon City. But I estimate that the Sea Clan is currently clearing the passage."

Boom!

As everyone was talking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the ground.

Anno stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking at the entrance, and put away all the mid-level summoned creatures.

"It seems they'll be coming down soon. The disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great; we can't engage them in direct combat!"

Upon hearing this, Buck said somewhat unwillingly, "Are we just going to hand over Hidden Dragon City to the sea tribe like this?"

Upon hearing this, Anno kicked Buck's butt and said, "What else can we do? Are you going to go and stop a bunch of high-level sea creatures?"

Buck straightened his back and said earnestly, "As long as Master gives the order, I will surely slay a high-ranking sea creature from the sea race army!"

"What if one of them is at the eighth rank?"

Anno glared at Buck and said irritably, "If you're going to die like this, I'd rather give those two red souls to Samolo to advance his rank!"

"Don't do that!"

Buck pursed his lips, lowered his head, and stood behind Anno.

"Master, are we really leaving like this?"

Liz felt that giving it up so easily wasn't in Anno's nature.

Sure enough, Anno left a shadow wolf hidden in the shadows in the lobby on the first floor and grinned, saying, "How could that be? Since they've come in such a grand manner, they must be going to the sixth floor."

If our previous predictions hold true, the fourth level will have many high-ranking guards.

Even if the sea creatures' troops are at the eighth rank, they can probably only reach the fifth level.

However, no matter how many levels they manage to reach, all we need to do is follow behind them and collect the souls.

After saying that, Anno led Liz, Sassi, and Buck to the small room where the portal was located.

Then Anno possessed the Shadow Wolf and watched the movement at the entrance from the shadows.

About ten minutes later, the entrance to Hidden Dragon City was suddenly smashed by the pile of stones.

Then a group of sea creatures appeared.

Upon seeing the half-dragon statue at the entrance, the sea creature in charge of the passageway immediately shouted excitedly towards the back, "We're here! We've reached the entrance!"

Not long after the news was reported, the stunningly beautiful mermaid princess descended from above with a group of high-ranking officials.

Princess Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two half-dragon statues at the city gate were intact.

"It seems the demons haven't discovered the traps here."

She walked up to the statue, circled it, and then found five claw holes, each two centimeters in diameter, on the top of the statue's head!

"Bring them here!"

Rebecca winked at the sea creatures behind her, and soon a group of sea creatures and five ferocious-looking half-dragons walked over.

A seventh-tier sea creature glanced at Rebecca, and upon seeing her nod, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed one of the half-dragons, and slashed its finger with his weapon, causing blood to gush out from the wound.

"Roar~!"

After being injured, the half-dragon immediately roared angrily at the high-ranking sea creature beside it.

As pseudo-half-dragons transformed by drinking a potion, they have extremely irritable personalities.

Even if you can't beat them, if you anger them, they'll fight you!

However, the high-ranking sea creature merely placed its bleeding claws into one of the claw holes on the top of the statue's head; this action was not enough to completely enrage the 'pseudo' half-dragon.

After the blood dripped into the claw hole, it immediately emitted a faint glow.

"Next!"

Seeing this, Rebecca hurriedly urged the higher-ranking sea creatures.

Hidden Dragon City is an underground city built by half-dragons, and the half-dragon statues guarding the city gates are not just for show.

The half-dragon statue can be activated with the blood of five different individuals.

Once activated, the half-dragon statue will guide the half-dragon who activated it and will not be attacked by traps or guards within the dungeon.

The reason for needing the blood of five different half-dragons is to prevent other factions from accidentally capturing a half-dragon and using it to enter the dungeon.

After Hidden Dragon City sank underground, there were very few traces of half-dragons on the continent of Ungomulos.

Even if they exist, they are likely to be extremely powerful high-ranking half-dragons, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke them.

Therefore, gathering five half-dragons is no easy task.

After years of research and continuous improvement of the potion, the sea creatures directly created three half-dragons.

Including the two half-dragons created by the previous dozen or so generations of potions, there are now exactly five.

After the blood of the half-dragon dripped into the five claw holes on the statue's head, the entire statue suddenly glowed with a pale red light.

A dozen seconds later, the head of the half-dragon statue suddenly rose, and red light emanated from its eyes.

Then it turned its head and looked around.

The high-ranking sea creatures nearby immediately stood in front of the mermaid princess to protect her.

Although the current situation is consistent with the intelligence we received before, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Even Rebecca looked at the half-dragon statue with a tense expression.

If all goes well, it means that the rest of the journey will not require fighting the guards.

As for the high-level magical beasts that have survived in the city to this day, even if there are any, their numbers should not be many.

After all, Hidden Dragon City is only so big, it can't support too many high-level beings.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After the half-dragon statue's eyes turned blue, it turned and walked into the city, gesturing for the five "fake" half-dragons to enter.

"Keep up!"

Rebecca immediately ordered her men to follow behind the half-dragon and walk in front, while she walked in the middle of the procession, escorted by a group of people.

The guards on the first floor had long been cleared out by William's mercenaries, and the sea creatures, guided by the half-dragon statue, headed straight for the passage to the second floor.

Possessing the Shadow Wolf, Anno, hiding in the shadows, saw the half-dragon statue leading the sea creatures into the second level, and was so shocked that he almost lost control of his skill.

"Holy crap, is that statue movable?"

Anno regretted not carrying the statue away with him.

However, Anno had already noticed a clue from the five 'pseudo' half-dragons behind the statue.

The half-dragon statue leading the way is most likely related to those five half-dragons.

But one of the half-dragons surprised Anno.

"Andrei... Andrei, I think I've heard that name somewhere before."

After thinking for a while, Anno suddenly remembered.

Yesterday, while he was still in the royal city, a soldier reported that the sea creatures from the southern border had come ashore, mentioning several adventurers who had risked staying in the Ai'er Mountains and spreading crucial information.

One of them was named Andrei—the intelligence was written by Laura, who marked all the intelligence providers to highlight the adventurers' attack.

"Could it be someone with the same name?"

While Anno was still wondering, the main force of the sea creatures had already entered the second level.

Five hundred sea creature soldiers remained on the first floor.
