Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 278 – Cat Dad's Dungeon Welcomes Yuan Emperor

"I thought your country has perished. What are you doing here, Your Majesty? Wanna join Asgard instead of Pangu?"

Joan sneered and crossed her legs, looking down at the fugitive emperor.

Yuan Shaoqing scoffed, "I'm here to inform you that I'm joining this expedition for a personal reason. You just come here before me. Don't misunderstand."

"Hahahaha! That's rich coming from a traitor. What are you planning to do here? Going after Xiaomao? Many deities and immortals are helping him. Do you think you have a chance, mortal?"

"Pfft. You know nothing. Anyway, I'm here to say hello. I'll be going ahead."

"Yeah, right. I want to see you try with your useless immortals."

"Kukuku. Very well. Don't be shocked when I conquer this dungeon before you. By the way…"

"What?"

Yuan Shaoqing sniffed, and his face distorted in disgust, "You lesbians stink. Go take a bath, you skunk. Did you piss yourself here?"

Yuan Shaoqing laughed and strolled out of the tent. As for Joan, she sniffed her armpit and pulled her head away. Indeed, she smelled.

Because of her bad mood, she stopped accepting visits. She ordered a servant to prepare a warm bath instead.

.

The mobilization resumed at noon after Joan finished hearing the reports. She ordered everyone to search around the Manila Room, where they found a trapdoor.

Players began moving to the area. Many backrooms fanatics took this opportunity to take screenshots and videos while vloggers did their things, creating content for their social media channels. Because of the tourists, the security was lax, and nobody was prepared for combat.

As so many casual players mixed in, Joan got annoyed again. As Joan was tired of mingling with the players, she contacted Battlefield Warlord, inquiring about the teleportation rune. She texted BW.

"Do you have the rune? I want it, now! I'm sick of the useless players!"

BW immediately answered, 'I'm negotiating. The Claymore Guild's bastards insist that they will sell it for two million PACTs.'

"As I said, 10,000 PACT, no more! If they don't sell it, ignore them. We'll search for the next floor ourselves!"

'Okay, then.'

30 minutes later, BW contacted Joan.

'Sorry, dear. He declined the deal. He already put the item in the auction house, and the current bidding price is 2.02 million PACT.

Joan's expression turned dark, "Who's that idiot?! Who bid for that?"

'It was Tian Feng, one of Yuan Shaoqing's advisers.'

"How the hell are they so rich?!"

Meanwhile, Yuan Shaoqing's group detoured around the Manila Room's area. His team went further into the dungeon.

His team consisted of elites and immortals. It was a small group of royalists, who didn't leave his side after the crisis. Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and former generals of the army brought their elites along.

A total of 1,000 immortals rushed through the maze. At a glance, they looked a bit stronger than the Valkyrie Guild, but they had something special.

Ten thousand 2-meter tall invisible spiders with glowing eyes and smiling faces split up and rushed through the maze like a tidal wave. They explored every nook and cranny.

As soon as they found something, they transmitted their thought to their master. Tian Feng, who was the master of these monsters, later guided the group through the maze.

They found several fountains along the way. One of the spiders drank the water and it suffered from a side effect, causing it to go berserk and ravish its colleagues.

Upon learning of the sacred water, Yuan Shaoqing ordered his men not to drink it. He asked Tian Feng to keep exploring the dungeon to find the dark area in the rumor.

Along the way, the generals detected the presence of mannequins behind the walls. However, they chose to do nothing as they had heard the rumor of what Joan's company had experienced after destroying a wall. The group ignored the unreachable enemies and proceeded forward.

Locked trapdoors and pitfalls were plenty, but they avoided them. Using their immortal abilities, the group moved as if they had explored the entire maze many times before.

After two hours, Yuan Shaoqing reached the dark area, where Butter Tank and Marcus had visited.

The walls had been repaired, but there was a gap wide enough for people to pass through. The group stopped at this area and set up some torches.

Yuan Shaoqing ordered his troops to take a short break. Then, he brought out a talisman and tore it.

RUMBLE

A small flame came out from the talisman. A hologram of Diabolos appeared.

Diabolos looked around and muttered, "I see you manage to infiltrate the dungeon. What's the reaction from the Asgardians?"

"Joan, sir? She's a bitch like usual."

"Valkyries are like that – Bitchy and whiney. Well, what do you need from me? Have you forgotten the mission?"

"Find Wei Zhi and kill her. Yes, I remember."

"Then, what are you calling me for?"

"One of my subordinates detected a presence of a 40-star immortal in the vicinity. I don't think my men are her opponent. I was wondering if I could request your support, sir."

"A level-4000 resident of the dungeon? Are you sure?"

Yuan Shaoqing turned around and looked at his adviser. One of them stepped forward to show himself.

"My name is Tian Feng. I'm a beast tamer and the adviser of Lord Yuan. You see, I can control monsters from other dimensions."

"Hoh? Oh, right. I remember you. You're that guy with a strange aura."

"Thank you for remembering me, my lord."

"So you detected the immortal?" Asked Diabolos.

"Yes. One of my pets found her, but it was killed on the spot. Before it died, it sent an image of what it saw to me."

Diabolos nodded. The hologram blinked for a few seconds before he emerged in the dungeon from Yuan Shaoqing's shadow.

The calamity fiend manifested his real body as a 3-meter-tall demon. He looked around and narrowed his eyes.

"I sense a presence of a deity, but it doesn't matter. As long as we get rid of Wei Zhi, we will complete our mission!"

Diabolos stared into the dark corridor as if he could see through the walls. He sneered.

"A weak 40-star immortal is nothing to me. Let me handle it and show you my power!"
