I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 227: Raid dungeon (19)

When we went back to the camp, Tie Gang didn't even bother hiding himself as he walked right through the front gates of the camp.

The guards at the gates were naturally shocked to see him since as far as they knew, he was still in the camp.

So when he suddenly arrived at the entrance of the camp, they immediately raised their weapons to point at him out of fear that he was a fake. However, they immediately lowered their weapons once they saw him pulling out his ID to prove that he was real.

The guards opened the gates and let us in, but there were a few of them that ran off to alert the camp of this.

By the time that we entered the camp, there was already a crowd that gathered.

There were some familiar faces among this crowd, such as my group and the other group that we had clashed with today. As well, there were a bunch of different supporters who had come out to see what was happening.

Naturally there was a lot of noise with this many people gathered, but Tie Gang made them all quiet down with a single raise of his hand.

Once they settled, Tie Gang said, "We're holding an emergency meeting. There's something important that I need to discuss with everyone."

The moment that they heard this, everyone in the camp revealed serious looks.

There was no time wasted as everyone gathered in the center of the camp where a podium had been set up. They didn't hold this meeting in the tent since there was no tent that was big enough to hold everyone, so they were holding it in the middle of the camp.

Long Shui Ling and I were about to go back to our group, but Tie Gang stopped us and pulled us to the front with him.

Since we were pulled to the front, we immediately became the center of attention.

There were many curious gazes that fell onto us since there were few people that recognized us. But the ones that did all revealed different gazes.

Our group looked at us with confused and inquisitive looks, as if they were asking us what was happening. However, it wasn't as if we could answer their questions in this situation.

The other group that looked at us with different gazes was the other group of Awakeners that had clashed with us the other day.

As for the emotion behind this gaze, it was naturally hostile.

They didn't understand why we were with the leader, but the way that they looked at us made it seem like they thought that it should be them in our place.

Simply put, they were jealous that we were showing off while they were stuck in the crowd.

After everyone had gathered, Tie Gang went right up to the podium and said, "There's something wrong with this raid dungeon."

As soon as his voice fell, there was a silence that followed.

Everyone just looked at Tie Gang with a strange and confused look.

After all, they had no idea what he was talking about.

Though they had already heard him mention that there was something off about this dungeon, they had never heard the specifics. They only knew that he was supposed to be looking into this, so they didn't know why he would suddenly make this announcement.

Tie Gang paused as if he was letting this set in before saying, "I just went to check the floor boss room and it was completely empty."

Once again, he waited for a bit as if he was letting them process this.

This time, there was a much bigger reaction elicited from everyone.

After all, they all knew what it meant for the floor boss room to be empty.

In the end, one of the Awakeners slowly asked, "Does that mean…that there are others who are in this dungeon with us?"

As soon as his voice fell, there were all kinds of different arguments that rang out.

"That's impossible! How could they slip through the surveillance of the Awakener Association!"

"It's not impossible, there have been cases of this in the past."

"Wait, wait, why are you all just assuming that they entered through the main entrance? What if there was a secret entrance to this dungeon that we didn't know about? It's very possible that they could have taken that secret entrance."

Though they discussed this, there wasn't a single person who was facing the other possibility of why the floor boss wasn't there.

Or rather, it was as if they were trying their best to ignore it.

But in the end, they couldn't ignore it.

It could even be said that Tie Gang wouldn't let them forget about this.

He slapped his hand down to get everyone's attention before saying, "That is only one possibility, we can't ignore the other possibilities."

As soon as he said this, everyone revealed ugly expressions.

After all, the other possibility was that there was a mutation with the dungeon boss and that was causing the strange moments of the monsters in this dungeon.

If that was the case, this would be much more dangerous for them.

Tie Gang ignored these ugly expressions and slowly said, "Right now, what's important is making a decision. We need to decide whether we will stay in this dungeon and clear it, or let someone escape and bring a message back to the guild while the rest of us wait for a rescue."

There were many different expressions that appeared in response to this.

There were some that seemed to be considering the second option based on the looks on their faces, but there were many that seemed like they would rather die.

They were here for achievements and if they backed down now, it would look bad on them.

But the main reason why they felt confident in staying was because of one thing, Tie Gang.

Tie Gang was a famous A Ranker and this was only a C Rank Raid Dungeon.

They believed that even if there was a mutation with the dungeon boss, an A Ranker like Tie Gang would be able to carry them. So they weren't afraid of taking this challenge.

They were Awakeners after all, people that had the courage to challenge dungeons for their own benefits in the first place.

They wouldn't be afraid of a little challenge like this since this was what kind of personality they had.

Tie Gang knew this, so he didn't bother giving any other information himself.

Instead, he gestured to me and Long Shui Ling to say, "These two will now present what they found and you can decide what to do based on that."

Long Shui Ling and I were both caught off guard when we heard this.

We knew that Tie Gang had called us up with him for a reason, but we didn't know what that reason was.

Now that we had heard this reason, we were even more taken aback since…we didn't know what to say. Or rather, we didn't know what he wanted us to say.

We didn't find anything, so it wasn't as if there was much for us to say.

But before we could say anything, there was a voice that suddenly said, "I have an objection!"
