Chapter 225 – Cat Dad Enters Mermaid Dungeon’s Safe Zone

Although confused, Xiaomao cooperated with Undine. She flew to the ceiling with Xiaomao in her arms and touched one of the bulbs.

DING

<Confirming user…>

<Access granted. Welcome back, Apostle.>

Undine opened her dungeon management menu, and a large semi-transparent screen appeared in front of her. Xiaomao could also see the detail of the panel.

The layout of the menu looked the same as the Chaos Seraphim OS. However, it didn’t have the lewd effect and the gender transformation. On the other hand, it gave other benefits to the sea folks in the dungeon.

A 3D map of the dungeon also appeared, and it confirmed Undine and Xiaomao’s location. Currently, they were inside one of many large rooms that connected to the bottomless diving pool.

When Xiaomao checked the diving pool’s depth, he was stunned. It went straight down for 100 kilometers. Moreover, over 10 thousand tunnels branched from this hellhole. Pipe-like structures created a massive tunnel maze that intersected with the other section of the dungeon.

Xiaomao thought of the shrine’s right path that led to another mermaid dungeon. That place also appeared on the map, and it was an orthodox maze with sentinels and patrolling mobs. Many tunnels from the diving pool connected to the first level of that dungeon, and several of them were traps, which could potentially guide clueless intruders into pits of man-eating plants.

While Xiaomao was admiring the dungeon map, the menu zoomed in on the upper level of the dungeon and highlighted the shrine, the lake, and the Fire Ant Nest that her subordinates had conquered.

The fire ant nest’s structure was a mess. Pathways of all floors were interconnected, and it was easy to navigate from the entrance to the queen’s room. However, because it was easy to navigate, the defending troops could also easily repel or surround the intruders by using their complex caves and hidden passages as checkpoints, blockades, and ambush points.

In the Fire Ant Nest, the map showed the real-time movements of the local creatures. About 10,000 fire ants and their queen were still alive.

DING

<Granting Xiaomao an administrator authority over the highlighted area. Will you confirm?>

Undine nonchalantly pressed the [Yes] button. As soon as she pressed it, a system notification appeared in front of Xiaomao.

DING

<You have been appointed as an administrator of the Mermaid Dungeon’s Level 1 – The Sanctuary Floor.>

<You have been appointed as an administrator of the Fire Ant Nest Dungeon.>

“Done!” Undine nodded and closed her dungeon menu.

Xiaomao raised his brows, “That’s it, munya?”

“That’s it! I only need you to be around me when I grant you the admin authority. Now, you can access the Fire Ant Nest Dungeon’s management menu with your dungeon core.”

“Oh, I get it! But do I have to give you the same admin authority, too?”

“Don’t worry about it. I already hacked your dungeon core and gave us the necessary authority right. How do you think we mod your dungeon floors?”

“…”

After getting things done, Undine paused to think as if she forgot something.

Meanwhile, Xiaomao suddenly had a bright idea.

“By the way, is there a safe zone for the players in your dungeon, munya?”

“Safe zone… RIGHT! I forgot about that! There is this stupid area we cannot access because of Pangu’s abilities.”

Undine reopened her dungeon map and searched for a suspicious-looking place in her memory. A few seconds later, she pointed at an area on the other side of the dungeon, which was deep inside the dummy maze.

“Over here, I think. There’s a strange room that no Naga, mermaid, or sentry can enter. Even I’m blocked from entering this stupid room when I first found it. We tried attacking that place, but Pangu’s shadow appeared and almost wiped out our parties.”

After confirming the location, Undine brought out a rune and teleported with Xiaomao in her arms. The next moment, she and Xiaomao appeared inside another similar boss room with a thousand light bulbs. However, it had an altar and a fountain with a strange rune mark.

Undine shrugged, “This is a fake safe zone that I created and marked with my teleport rune. When I was young, I was assigned here as a guardian. No intruder has gotten this far though.”

“…”

Undine turned around and flew into a wall without hesitation, causing a ripple.

It was a hidden path that connected to an adjacent dummy boss room. She then flew up the ceiling and caused the same ripple, passing through the illusion.

In the dark ceiling that Undine went through, there was a purple dome with a bonfire at the center.

“This is it.”

Undine revealed a rare gloomy expression on her face. She gently put Xiaomao down and glared at the bonfire.

RUMBLE

The bonfire suddenly got brighter, and a fire elemental spirit appeared. It transformed into a burly muscular man in flame. However, his naked furry chest and Afro hairstyle on fire looked weird.

The flame man posed like Randy Orton, showing his big muscle.

Undine clicked her tongue in disgust. Meanwhile, Xiaomao had the urge to puke.

“Try to go inside, Xiaomao. That’s probably the safe zone. You get dungeon bonuses if you enter it before the other players.”

“I know, munya.”

Xiaomao deeply sighed and walked toward the purple dome. He passed through the barrier without a problem.

DING

<Congratulations. You are the first person to discover the safe zone of Mermaid Dungeon.>

<You may choose one of the following rewards ;>

<One: Increase your free status points by 20,000.>

<Two: Increase your free spiritual root points by 20,000.>

<Three: Obtain a random level-2500 legendary skill book.>

<Four: Obtain a random level-2500 legendary spellbook.>

<Five: Obtain an immortal-tier evolution material of your race.>

<Six: Evolve one skill or spell of your choice to its final form.>

<Seven: You may purchase ten items from the Mermaid Dungeon Vendor for free.>

The reward really appeared just like when Xiaomao found the Gnoll Dungeon’s safe zone. He looked at Undine and smiled.

“The notification really appeared, munya!”

Undine snickered, “Go ahead. The rewards are yours. Pick something and talked to that vile flame spirit. I want to know who he is and why he is here in my dungeon.”

“Okay!”

Xiaomao hummed and calculated which one he should pick. Unlike the last time, every choice was attractive.

20,000 free stats or free spiritual roots looked tempting. A random legendary spell or skill from a high-level dungeon was also impossible to ignore. The evolution material of an immortal stage was also the next tier that Xiaomao needed after he became an immortal. Also, the final form of any skill or spell could pave a path for Guild War’s championship as the Tribulation Lightning could easily kill any mortal.

Xiaomao couldn’t choose. For the first time, he had a dilemma.

Suddenly, his Senpais advised him.

[Cathulhu Instinct]: Vendor tickets! Pick the vendor tickets, NOW!

[Foresight]: Don’t be fooled by the material gains. Pick the last option and get 10 free items. That flame spirit is actually Ifrit, the King of Fire Spirits. He’s a pseudo deity that is as strong as Cernun. His shop only sells items for immortals, and the lowest grade is ultra-rare! Don’t miss those free passes. You’re welcome!

Xiaomao widened his eyes. He looked at the disgusting macho man in a new light.

Believing in his Senpais, Xiaomao picked the seventh choice!

DING

<You have obtained 100% discount coupons for Mermaid Dungeon Shop!>

Ten tickets appeared in Xiaomao’s inventory.

Before Xiaomao could see the detail of the tickets, the half-naked flame king turned to the catopus. He made another pose and highlighted his biceps.

“Hello there, tarnished descendant of Cathulhu! Are you a slave of that vile mermaid behind you?”

“Err, no, munya.”

Xiaomao looked at the name of the flame person. Fortunately, his name was white, and he didn’t seem hostile.

Ifrit, King of Flame Spirits, Level 8888
