CH 79

I arrived at the dungeon and paid a silver coin to enter and fly to the 16th floor from the transfer monument.

When I arrived at the 16th floor, there seemed to be fewer people than on the 15th floor. But I could still feel a certain amount of people, probably because the orcs were still coming out.

“Well, what should I do?”

Even though there are still a lot of people here, should I start leveling up on this floor, or should I look at the floors below …….

The 16th to 18th floors are orcs and skeletons, but the 19th to 20th floors are skeletons and ghosts. Floors eleven to fifteen seem to be more efficient in terms of monetization, but not in terms of experience efficiency because there are too many people, so no. I’m hesitant about the 19th to 20th floors because the ghosts are too creepy. In addition, you can’t go to the 21st floor yet because it is a C-ranked area.

“Hmm… well, I should try fighting skeletons first.”

I think I’m going to have to take a look at this floor for now before I can make a decision.

That’s what I thought and started walking.

As I walked, I looked at the map and saw an unfamiliar X on the map in the direction I was going, which reminded me of something important.

“Oh! Right, there’s a trap coming out on this floor!”

That’s dangerous! No, there are no traps on this floor that can kill me instantly. That is according to the document. It’s not good to forget things like this… I still need to brace myself.

With that in mind, I continue walking toward the x mark ahead.

I knew there was a trap, but I was curious about the trap. I wanted to see what kind of trap it was before I encountered a vicious trap that would kill me instantly.

As I continued walking, I came to a crossroads.

I looked at the map and saw an X mark just before the crossroad. However, this map was a simple freehand sketch I made without using a ruler, so I couldn’t say that it was accurate in terms of detailed location or distance. So, for safety’s sake, I carefully approached it from the very start.

Once I was close enough, I proceeded to crawl on my hands and knees, examining every inch of the ground.

According to the material, there was only a poisonous needle trap here. I wasn’t sure what a poisonous needle was, but I figured there must be something on the ground that would trigger the trap to be activated.

I kept crawling on all fours to examine the ground, and when I came to a crossroads, I finally found something unnatural.

The dungeon was made up of stone blocks with a long side of one meter and a short side of about fifty centimeters, but only at that spot, at that one block, there was a small block that looked as if part of the block had been cut off and another block had been inserted. No matter what I thought, this was suspicious.

“This is it… isn’t it?”

I think it is, but I can’t be sure. The only way to find out for sure is to try to trigger it…

“It’s not a trap that will kill me instantly, so why not step on it on purpose?”

… No, I don’t want to do that. But I want to make sure that this is a trap. I want to see what a trap looks like.

Hmm … what should I do?

As a result of various thoughts, I decided to activate the trap from a distance.

As far away from the trap as possible, I lay face down in a suitable place and tried to push the trap with the tip of my spear. However, I couldn’t do it well, probably because I was lying on my back in a bad position.

I tried to push the trap with my spear for a while, but it didn’t work. Maybe it wasn’t the right one? At the moment when I started to think that maybe this wasn’t it, the block sank a little with a click, and the next moment, there was a small swoosh and a click at the same time, and something pierced the wall near the trap.

“Eh…”

There are too many places to open.

This is a “Poison Needle Trap”? A trap that doesn’t kill you instantly? It’s twenty centimeters long and five millimeters thick. So shouldn’t it be called a nail or a stake rather than a needle!? And it’s stuck in the wall! This has enough killing power!

Won’t people die instantly? Well, they may not die instantly! No, it’s instant death!

“Truly, dungeons are too scary…”
