Chapter 158 Mock Dungeon War (4)
"Big sis, we've found the enemy!"
An ice minotaur spoke into the snail that he was holding.
This snail was a special snail breed that would only ever have a single partner in their life. Because of this, there was a special bond that was created between these snails that would allow them to communicate no matter how far away they were.
As for the other snail, naturally it was in dungeon core 627's dungeon.
This ice minotaur was the leader of the strike team that dungeon core 627 had sent out to attack Lin Fan's dungeon and currently, this strike team was standing right in front of the entrance to Lin Fan's dungeon.
They had just arrived, so the ice minotaur had called in to ask for instructions.
"Just charge right on in. I'm sure that you'll be strong enough to deal with whatever traps he has set up." Dungeon core 627's voice came from the snail.
The ice minotaur revealed a smile when he heard this.
He was someone with a direct personality, so he wasn't someone that liked to follow plans. Instead, he liked charging straight at the enemy and solving problems with brute force.
He was quite confident in his power and he should be since he was one of the hero units that dungeon core 627 had summoned. In terms of the cultivation realm's power levels, he was already in the Foundation Realm and not just in the Low Foundation Realm, he was already in the Peak Foundation Realm.
In a fight with Lin Fan, it would take a single move for him to wipe the floor with Lin Fan.
But of course, this wasn't a fight with Lin Fan, but rather a mock war between their dungeons.
Still, the ice minotaur didn't believe that Lin Fan would have any hero units like him since Rokuko was a newly formed dungeon. They clearly didn't have the time to accumulate enough DP to summon a hero unit like him.
But then dungeon core 627's voice rang out again as she said, "Be careful though. There's still the chance that Haku has lent him a hero unit like my darling Lord Astaroth has for me. If that's the case, then you might have to run away."
The ice minotaur gave a disdainful snort when it heard this, but it still agreed with what dungeon core 627 said.
Still, for now, before seeing this possible hero unit, the only thing that it could do was charge forward.
Without any hesitation, the ice minotaur led the troops behind him into the entrance of Lin Fan's dungeon.
Once they entered Lin Fan's dungeon, what they found was a room that had multiple corridors in it.
When the ice minotaur saw this, he couldn't help giving a disdainful snort. This was the most basic layout that a dungeon could have and since Lin Fan was a dungeon master, he had been expecting something much better than this.
It seemed like that dungeon master title really was just for show.
After looking around, the ice minotaur chose one of the passages and headed forward without any fear.
He knew that in these kinds of basic dungeons, all of the paths would eventually lead to where he wanted to go. The different paths were only presented to make it seem like there were traps, but there weren't any traps that were hidden at the ends of these paths.
This was just a cover for the fact that the only thing that this dungeon had was a wide area to stall for time.
It was unlikely that they would be able to set up any complicated traps during this short period of time. Not to mention that it was unlikely they would have the DP to buy these traps in the first place.
The only defenses that this dungeon should have is the possible hero unit that Haku should have lent to them.
But even with this possibility, the ice minotaur was still confident. After all, it was unlikely that Haku would lend something too powerful and the ice minotaur was confident in its power.
So before he fought this possible hero unit, he didn't have any fear since there was still the chance that he might win.
It was just too bad that this ice minotaur didn't think at all and was completely playing into Lin Fan's trap.
In fact, if one looked closely, they would find tiny things that were currently crawling along the roof above them.
These tiny things had been watching over them the entire time, following them as soon as they had arrived in the dungeon. It didn't stop watching them for a single second as everything that they saw was transmitted to the control room in the center of the dungeon.
Watching the ice minotaur heading straight into the depths of his dungeon, Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a faint smile as he thought that this was almost too easy.
With a single flick of his hand, the map that was on the screen in front of him started to change.
The map had several red dots that were currently moving through a corridor. However, the corridor that they were moving through had several walls that were parallel to the walls of the corridor that weren't connected to anything.
It was almost as if these walls just existed all by themselves in the space outside of the corridor.
But that wasn't the case.
With a single flick of his hands, the walls that were parallel to the corridor suddenly started to move and the corridor ahead of the red dots suddenly closed, creating a new path with these floating walls.
Lin Fan just smiled as he waited for these intruders to reach the trap that he had set.
At the same time, he gave a signal to Greeny with his hand.
…
Back in the dungeon, the ice minotaur continued along the corridor at a leisurely pace.
Since he didn't believe that there were any traps that were waiting for him, he didn't bother having his guard up and just continued forward in this corridor with his subordinates following behind him. With the way they were moving, it almost looked like they were out on some kind of picnic.
But that quickly changed not long after as a "click" sound suddenly rang out.
The ice minotaur felt his feet sink down a few inches when he heard this "click" sound and it didn't take much thought to realize that he had stepped on a trap trigger.
There were holes that suddenly appeared in the ceiling above them and then with a whistling, there were arrows that suddenly rained down on them.
Without any hesitation, the ice minotaur along with several of the ice golems suddenly summoned a wall of ice above them.
The wall of ice was so thick that all of the arrows were immediately stuck in them, not even going halfway through.
The arrows continued to fall for some time, but none of the arrows were able to pierce through the ice wall that the ice minotaur and the ice golems had set up.
Once the arrows finally stopped, the ice minotaur and the ice golems dropped the ice wall, allowing the arrows to fall to the ground.
The ice minotaur came over to pick up one of the arrows before breaking out in laughter, "Did they really think that they would be able to take us out with these simple iron arrows? They really are looking down on us!"
His subordinates also broke out in laughter along with him.
The thing that they made most clear with this laughter was their disdain.
After laughing for a bit, the ice minotaur waved his hand and continued forward as he said, "Let's go and rip them to pieces. We'll teach them to look down on us like this."
All of his subordinates gave cheers as they followed the ice minotaur.
But after just taking a few steps, they found that the floor underneath them suddenly gave way to reveal a large hole. When they looked closely down the hole, they found that there were spikes that were there waiting for them.
Of course, none of them panicked at all as they jumped off in the air and headed to different sides of the pit trap depending on which side was closer to them.
But before they could reach it, the walls to the sides of the pit trap suddenly started moving and they quickly blocked their way.
Some of them were able to make it through before the walls could completely block them off, but there were those that were stopped by the wall and had no choice but to fall down into the pit.
However, even then, they didn't give up hope.
Based on the arrows that had been shot, the ones that fell into the hole were certain that the spikes that were underneath them were nothing more than simple iron. So without any hesitation, they gathered together and formed a large wall of ice underneath them to help them cushion their fall.
At the same time, they had melted some of the ice to create a water cushion between them and the ice so they wouldn't break their bones landing on the ice.
But what they never expected was that the spikes pierced right through their ice wall like it was nothing. As soon as the ice wall hit the spikes, it shattered to pieces from the many holes that were created by the spikes.
Then in front of their shocked gazes, they found that their magic armour wasn't able to put up any resistance in front of these spikes. These spikes pierced right through their bodies and filled them with holes like a porcupine.
As they laid there dying in the pit, they couldn't help thinking what had gone wrong…
