Chapter 111 An Ambush

As Alex jumped into the cart, it made a creaky sound and began moving.

In no time, he and Nix were travelling down an old mine track in a minecart.

The growling sound became distant but the sinister laugh began intensifying.

A cold sweat trickled down Alex's back while Nix didn't seem to be any better.

They braced themselves for any potential fight and in the system's shop, Alex found himself a sword but sadly, it couldn't be purchased with dollars anymore. He needed coins.

The entire currency system was flipped upside down and to purchase them, he guessed that coins could be found in the dungeon, just like how it was in games.

With his arms as his weapons and his body as a shield, he stood in front of his wife to brace for any potential attacks.

Nix tried to tell him to not do it, but Alex didn't budge. He didn't want his wife to be harmed.

A few seconds later, the minecart sped up and the sinister laughter intensified.

It kept intensifying until finally, a shadowy figure could be seen charging at the two.

The temperature dropped down and Alex felt a nervous chill, but he didn't falter and took an attacking stance.

The laughter echoed and in the next second, the shadowy figure brushed past him, continuing to laugh.

Then, a gray figure arrived and charged right at Alex.

The aura he was emitting out was scary and Alsx didn't think he'd be able to pierce through the whole shadow, thus, wisely, he ducked along with Nix.

The shadow went away after that.

Such figures appeared one after another and while some simply moved away, some attacked the two, which Alex skillfully either blocked or attacked back with all his might.

Since this was just the starting floor of an F class dungeon, things were fine and Alex didn't have to worry too much.

They safely passed through the mine and reached an open grassland.

"That sure was scary," Alex said as they got out.

Nix lay on the grass and said, "it's good that it was just scary. We literally have no means of fighting. We need to amass coins and buy things from the shop."

Alex nodded and sat beside Nix to take a breather.

His main motive in this dungeon was to kill monsters and try to eat them to see if he could get a specific gene and inherit their powers.

As of now, they had found no monsters other than those dead rodents, which definitely weren't edible and even if they were, didn't contain any power that Alex would like to inherit.

After a short break, the two continued on in their journey and traversing through the vast expanse of the flat grassland, found dead animals once again. It was probably done by the group that came before them.

Alex checked every corpse and found no core within them and neither anything of note. All seemed like normal animals.

As they ventured deeper, Nix stopped Alex and looked around.

"It's so strange. There's corpses everywhere," said Nix.

Alex nodded. "Those guys killed quite a lot."

Nix nodded but then shook her head. "The problem isn't about them killing, it's about these corpses being here, rotting."

Alex didn't understand her and Nix could tell. She simply looked around and said, "there should be some or the other scavengers around to eat these corpses. Remember, a dungeon is two worlds, so they follow the natural laws."

"Right… so?"

"So… no scavengers means—"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

An air piercing sound was heard and made the two immediately get on their guards and defend themselves.

As Nix had thought, this was an abnormal situation and she was right on the mark as in the distance, the two could see a few green figures rushing at them.

It was a hoarse of goblins, about two to three feet tall on average rushing at them with wooden bows, swords, and shields.

They seemed to be coming from all four sides and Nix realized it was an ambush.

She had calculated things a little too late, but there was still some time to run.

"Darling, run!" Nix exclaimed and ran right in a diagonal position.

"Whatever happens, just continue to follow me!"

Alex had blind faith in his wife and ran behind her. She was a Strategist and warfare should be something she was good at, just like how Alex was good at healing.

The goblins shot arrows at him and Nix, but they had a proper pattern of attack and Nix ended up finding it out in just a few seconds.

Dodging became easy and Alex ran as fast as he could in the gap between two troops running towards them.

They ran in all sorts of zig-zag patterns and since there wasn't any forest or anything, they had to keep running on the empty grassland until they could find some cover.

Meanwhile…

On the second floor of the dungeon, a fight had broken out.

"Holy shit! How are there other people here!?" Flying Racoon exclaimed while clashing with some stranger.

"Gods don't only have one person they support!" Fallen Nightmare shouted. "They have multiple devotees and it's only natural there are other people here! They want to see who emerges out as the strongest!"

The strangers seemed to be tan skinned and were probably from some place close to the equator. They didn't understand English so a battle had broken out.

There was no room for negotiations or peace talks.

The four party members from the US were carrying a lot of monster cores on them. If they were to fall in the hands of these guys, then their raid was all for naught and they'd go super broke.

This was the last bit of money they had on them, especially Fallen Nightmare and Flying Raccoon.

After the last fuck up, they have felt the blessings of their Gods to lessen. This was really bad news and they'd just turn into normal mortals if they didn't get support.

This raid was thus very important. It was an F class dungeon and if they couldn't even clear this, then they didn't deserve to be called Blesseds.

Apart from these two, there were four more people. They were having an easier time fighting the rest, but they couldn't stop their opponents because doing fatal damage was forbidden.

They had gotten quests regarding that and had to follow it, otherwise they'd be cursed with bad luck.

The main scenario here for these people was to find a way to have peace talks and resolve the conflict. Killing each other wasn't an option.

If they didn't stop fighting anytime soon, the beasts nearby would come at them and try to kill them.

The six people from the US tried to say this to the guys attacking them.

After half an hour's worth of fighting, they couldn't take it anymore and decided to use another method.

One of the person took out a small bag of coins and made sure to show it to these guys here. He then threw the bag to the side, hoping the guy was gone.

But it didn't happen as the guy simply showed him a similar bag and threw it at the side, mimicking him.

"What sort of signs do you not understand for truce!?" The guy was pissed and attacked the guy more intensely.

The battle lasted for another half an hour and ended only when the guys from the US dropped some of their monster loot.

The tan skinned guys took it and went away. From the start, they were planning on robbing them off their wealth and just like these guys, they weren't allowed to kill them either.

The tan skinned guys were quick to read the body language of the US guys and ended up putting an endurance test. In the end, they won in it and walked away with great loot.

However…

"We simply can't let them go like this. Follow and attack any stranger you see from now on. There's no showing mercy to anybody," one of the members of the group said and they all ran in the direction of the tan skinned guys.

Fifteen minutes later, in their spots, Alex and Nix arrived.

They were breathing heavily and finding some peace at long last, decided to rest near a tree.

They had entered a forest area now and had a lot of cover.

"I am thirsty…" Nix said.

"Me too," replied Alex.

They were totally unprepared for this raid and didn't have any necessary items on them. Finding a source of food and water was a great priority in the dungeon.

It wasn't like games where one could simply go about clearing dungeons without water and food or sleep.

Alex and Nix had to be really careful as dungeons worked just like the normal world and they felt hunger and need for sleep just like outside.

As they rested, Nix looked around and said, "A battle took place here…"
