148 Disar Traps

「Just reht Master would refuse」

『Refuse what?』

「C rank promotion, because will stand out」

『Well, I guess you’re right, but I figured there wasn’t much point to it anymore I mean, you want to participate in the ht?』

「Nn」

『Yeah Participating will ht away anyways』

「Right Will stand out if achieve victory」

『Haha Yeah, basically』

「Nn」

We descended the dungeon’s stairs as we chatted Naturally, we didn’t relax our guards while doing so

It didn’t take long for us to arrive at the first floor’s entrance, a long, narrow passage constructed entirely of stone It was far too short and thin for Urushi+, so he had no choice but to return to his smaller size

「Urushi+ Training to fight while small」

「Woof」

We didn’t need to light any torches or provide any other sources of light Lu and provided the passage with a dilow It didn’t illuh for our purposes

『Looks like we’ve already hit a crossroads, and one that diverges into three different paths, at that』

「Go dohich?」

『Ho left』

The rule I was referencing was the so left hand rule It stated that you’d be able to find a path out of basically anything so long as you had your left hand against the wall and always turned left I ht hand as well, but yeah

Naturally, the left hand rule wasn’t actually perfect and didn’t actually apply to every given situation For exaet to required us to traverse a hidden roo to reach was the centre as opposed to an exit, when there weren’t any walls, and e had move up and down stairs and ladders and stuff in 3D space

Oh, and just to put this out there, we looked up all sorts of stuff so we could successfully coic-beast related requests, but we didn’t actually spend any tieon’s layout, nor did we look for inforured that kind of info wouldn’t actually really help us given that ere trying to train ourselves in the art of detection The whole point was for us to locate traps and ic beasts on our oithout any extra help

「Then will choose left」

I guess that works I’ic beasts froht noays

『Alright, let’s go』

「Nn」

We popped our detection skills and began walking down the leftmost path

「Mmph」

『Oh?』

Fran and I si around three

「Detected」

『So you ed to pick it up too, Fran? It looks like a Shadow Snake to me』

「Over there」

A single black snake was hidden away in a dark corner that the luht failed to reach It was quite difficult to notice, and al into the shadows Its naic, but it couldn’t It was instead so that stemmed from how it it slithered around in the darkness

「Weakling」

「Woof」

『Yeah It is kind of the first thing we’ve run into though』

It was about the same size as a japanese rat snake, and had basically no offensive prohatsoever Shadow Slip and Presence Detection skills aside, it was basically just a normal snake Honestly, it would probably never be able to har as you just wore yourself a pair of boots

To be frank, it was a e adventurer wouldn’t even bother hunting It tasted like garbage, its ive any exp at all To h its corpse and extract its ic stone too, a procedure that took much more time than it orth That said, eren’t normal adventurers I saw no reason to pass up a chance to potentially level up a skill while also getting free ic stone points

And so, Fran le ht?

『Alright, let’s keep going』

「Nn」
