“These scattered soil bits aren’t quite right.”
Lin Han crouched down and gathered the soil from the ground in his hand.

Yuan Si leaned in, puzzled. “What’s wrong with the soil? It must have been brought in when the boss left, right? These minotaurs don’t have the habit of going home to change blood. There’s nothing unusual about it.”

“No,” Lin Han replied. “When we entered from outside, I noticed the soil throughout the dungeon was extremely arid. There was never any soil this moist.”

Yuan Si chuckled. “Lin Han, maybe this is your blind spot. Even though minotaurs are monsters, they still need to pee. Maybe one stepped in something outside and tracked it in by accident?”

“Get lost!” Lin Han rolled his eyes. When he used the Eye of God just now, he noticed that the area beneath the throne seemed hollow, and the base of the throne was perfectly covering up the opening.

A tunnel!

It must be a tunnel!

Determined, Lin Han placed both hands on the throne and warned, “Stand back, don’t want you getting hurt.”

Yuan Si gave him a strange look. “True, your strength is impressive, but don’t get cocky. This throne stands several meters tall and is made of poured steel. Lifting it isn’t possible even for most fourth-tier warriors, let alone you.”

“Let’s just head out and search elsewhere. No point wasting time here.”

Before Lin Han could respond, the ground began to tremble. Yuan Si stared at him in disbelief.

He actually moved it?!

And by the look on his face, he made it seem effortless!

Without further hesitation, Yuan Si jumped aside. Lin Han had already hoisted the iron throne, making a throwing motion and hurling it away.

The towering iron throne flew through the air and embedded itself in the wall.

“Lin Han, just how strong are you?” Yuan Si looked as if he’d seen a ghost. Handling some minotaur minions seemed plausible, but this was downright absurd!

“I’m not sure. How about I punch you and measure it?” Lin Han squatted down. As he expected, beneath the throne was an opening.

Judging by how fresh the opening looked, it must have been dug quite recently.

“Forget it, forget it,” Yuan Si muttered, joining Lin Han. “Never thought there’d actually be something under the iron throne.”

“But this is just a Yellow-level dungeon. Ordinary third-tier warriors could never lift that throne!”

“Of course, you’re something else entirely. Doesn’t count.”

Lin Han replied seriously, “I don’t know, but we should go down and have a look. Maybe the boss we’re searching for is lurking deep inside. If we take care of him, our job is done.”

“You’re right. But this tunnel is rather narrow. If we fight down there, we might be at a disadvantage. Maybe we should call your three teammates down. Going together would be safer.”

“You said your team has a third-tier assassin, right? In the darkness, their combat ability would be even stronger. That would improve our odds.”

“Lin Han, what do you—”

While Yuan Si pondered, he suddenly felt a pain in his backside. A force lifted him off his feet. He tried to stomp down to steady himself, but there was nothing beneath him—he plummeted downward.

“Lin Han, damn you!”

Lin Han laughed. “Relax, I’m right behind you!”

He jumped down into the tunnel. With the Eye of God, he’d already checked: the passage was only a dozen or so meters deep, and there was nothing below. It was perfectly safe.

No need to worry about the boss lying in wait.

As they were about to land, Lin Han grabbed the wall with one hand and snatched Yuan Si with the other.

If he fell himself, he’d just lose a bit of shield, but Yuan Si might end up crippled.

“Good thing you had the sense to catch me,” Yuan Si sighed in relief. He’d genuinely felt he was about to die, face first.

While he was still grateful, he suddenly lost his footing and tumbled onto the floor below. Lin Han jumped down after him.

“I have to say, the ground here is pretty soft…”

“Soft, my foot! Get off me, now!” Yuan Si cursed. He’d already been tricked so many times in one day.

From now on, he’d keep his distance from this guy, never let himself get tangled up with him again!

Lin Han moved ahead. “There’s more tunnel up front. Let’s keep going.”

“As long as you lead, I’ll follow!” Yuan Si hurried behind Lin Han. “You didn’t even warn me before kicking me down! What if the boss was lurking below?”

“Relax. If anything goes wrong, I’ll grab you. I wouldn’t really let you die.”

Lin Han shrugged and headed into the cavern.

Yuan Si was surprised at Lin Han’s decisive move to take the lead.

Was there some trick?

He stopped speculating and hurried after him. “Lin Han, wait up! Why are you walking so fast?”

“Keep your voice down,” Lin Han cautioned. “The boss is likely just ahead. If we draw it over now, fighting in such a cramped space will not be to our advantage.”

Yuan Si quickly lowered his voice. “Got it.”

By now, Lin Han had already spotted the boss’s lair: a towering minotaur, several meters tall, its powerful body looming in the cave, eyes fixed upward, as if preparing to hunt its prey.

What a formidable aura!

Unlike any monster encountered before—even ordinary gold-level monsters didn’t have this presence.

But… what was this creature preparing for?

“Where am I… the underworld? Yun Yun, did you die too? Looks like we can only be a pair of doomed lovers now. At least we’ll have each other on the road to the Yellow Springs.”

Wang Qiang struggled to open his eyes, his whole body exhausted. He couldn’t even manage the simplest movement.

Liu Yun Yun, seeing him awake, exclaimed with excitement, “Wonderful! Wang Qiang, you’re finally awake. I was so worried when you fainted.”

“Sister Rui Xin, Wang Qiang’s awake! Wang Qiang’s awake!”
