Chapter 167 - (167) Meeting Felix (2/2)

Geth put his staff between the two, ”Alright, we can exchange pleasantries later. Did you learn anything about the layout of the Dungeon?”

Felix sighed, ”Yeah. It's going to be a bitch just to get in. Three groups of three Direwolves constantly circle the cave's entrance.

Another five groups are steadily rotating in and out of the cave constantly. There's also one Sub-Boss that sleeps just inside the entrance.”

”What are their Levels looking like?” Jack asked.

Felix glanced at the young man, ”Who's the pipsqueak?”

Jack's right eye twitched. Geth shook his head and spoke up.

”Answer Jack's question.”

”Fine. Each group has one stronger Direwolf that's Level 45 or higher. The other two are usually somewhere around 40.

The wolves that make runs out into the wild are stronger. Sometimes the leader of those groups can be as high as Level 60, while the other two are consistently over 50.”

Geth's face turned into a frown, ”This isn't going to be easy.”

He looked around at the Levels of everyone around him. Aside from him, only Filthy and Zolis had passed Level 40.

”It seems like the Direwolves really deserve their Tier 4 rating. They must have been extremely diligent in their hunting,” Geth stated.

”All of you need to get stronger before we push this Dungeon. Our gear makes up for some of the difference, but the difference between the first and second Class is tremendous.”

Rift looked up at him, ”Then what should we do?”

”Felix, how often do the hunting groups leave?” Geth asked.

Felix tapped a finger to his chin, ”Mmm, I would say that one leaves every couple of hours, starting an hour from now. None return until the sun begins to go down.”

”Then we need to catch and kill them some distance from the Dungeon,” Geth announced.

”That's still dangerous! Their howls can be heard for miles!” Zolis cried.

Felix stood up proudly, ”You can leave that to me! Most of my spells are based on illusions and entrapment! Muffling a bit of sound isn't a problem.”

Rift instantly became curious, ”Is that how you made that howling noise? And made the leaves shake so hard?”

”Sure is!”

Geth spoke up, ”Sorry to interrupt, but we have more pressing issues. Felix, can you lead us ahead of where each patrol usually goes?”

”I can.”

”Good, I'll set up Runes to detect their arrival, and we can plan our move. Rift, you're the lowest Level, so you'll get the final hits on the first group.

We'll go from the lowest Level and work our way up until all of you are 40 or higher. If any of you want to back out now, this is your last chance.”

The mood became serious as everyone prepared for what was coming. They were about to work their way into a Dungeon full of creatures that were much higher Levels than them.

”Then let's head out,” Geth used his Invocation to speed everyone up.. ”Felix, lead the way.”
