Chereads / The Cardboard Explorer / Chapter 67 - Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - Chapter 67

The picture showed that many dead explorers' body being used as a toy among the boarman. The boarman toy around with the dead body and laughing around mocking the dead body.

Other than that, in front of the base, they put the heads of the explorers on a stick and used them as some kind of display to show their powers to other explorers that were still alive.

There were many more bad things that were caught on picture by the scout and looking at all of them, everyone was fumed with anger.

Everyone blood was boiled and they cannot wait to destroy the base. The report of the scout did not end there as Xing took out more pictures and everyone were shocked to see that a lot of explorers were still alive in the camp.

They were used as slave and plaything for the bored boarman that did not want to play with the dead body. Man or woman, without considering their gender, they were all treated the same by the boarman.

They were rape, tortured physically and mentally, forced to work without any rest and many more. The picture showed it all.

"Our scout is this good huh, to be able to take this many pictures," said Dianne as she looked at all the pictures. Bringing some techs inside the dungeon like camera and phone were common among explorers.

Though some of them were totally useless inside the dungeon like the phone and modern weapon, there were many that were useful too like camping gear, camera and many other things.

The scout had a camera and portable printer with him and thus, he can take many pictures and possibly printed all of them.

After 10 000 years had passed, camera had been so advanced that even an amateur scout will be able to use them well.

After that, Xing started briefing on more information about the boarman base. Apparently, thanks to them luring many of the boarman to their camp and killed them, the number of boarman in that base had decreased a lot.

However, even if their number had decreased, their number was still exceeded the number of explorers in the group.

At the moment, even if the explorers in the group had been getting a boosted in their stat with the essence, they were still incapable of fighting the boarman one on one.

That was considering if the boarman was E grade but the boarman in the base they found had not been only the E grade boarman but also D grade boarman.

D grade boarman was still hard for the explorers to fight. Only a few people in the group can fight the D grade boarman toe to toe.

Cade was one of the people in the group capable of defeating the D grade boarman thanks to his maxed endurance and linked equipment. He never fought any of the D grade boarman because when they appeared at the camp, the top explorers in the group were the one handling them.

However, he was confident that he can do it as he found out that the E grade boarman did not pose him much challenge anymore maybe due to his physical resistance and high endurance.

Though no one in the group thought that it was possible, Ben seemed to know that Cade can do that and that was the reason he said that Cade was as strong as him though no one actually convinced by that.

Ben senses had sharpened a lot since he awakened his bloodline and he can sense that Cade was strong and he also knew that Cade had bloodline power too but he was the only one that knew that.

Everyone else cannot see Cade as someone stronger and that was because of his linked equipment. Everyone was thankful of his contributions with the essence and considered him important in the group, however, that was it.

Since Cade did not talk that much as well as did not try to show off his power much, no one had seen his real power. It was nothing impressive but he was better than most of them.

Xing continued with the meeting and stated that the boarman in the base was more than twice the number of explorers in their group.

"Their number are still more than us… I don't think it is possible for us to destroy their base," said one of the explorers as he was not confident in attacking the base head on.

"Should we try to lower more of their number with the way we had been doing all this time?" asked another explorer.

"That is not possible because of this," said Xing as he took out more pictures. Everyone looked at the picture with grimed face.

The picture showed that the boarman was preparing themselves to attack something and it was possible that the preparation was to destroy everyone in their camp as they were sure that they were annoying to the boarman.

"The scout overheard from the boarman that they plan to deal with us with full force. They might not send all of them, but it will be enough to annihilate all of us. Other than that, the scout heard that they will send many C grade boarman too," said Xing.

"C grade?! They are in that base too?" asked one of the explorers shocked. Not only him but everyone else were shocked too.

"Yes, and there are actually many of them. The scout did not know how many of them but they are hiding well in the camp," said Xing. The C grade boarman was actually the biggest threat for them to deal with.

That was because the World Dungeon was graded as C and that meant the strongest monster in the dungeon will be C grade. Though there were a few A grade and B grade explorers in the group, they were still not much of a match fighting against the C grade boarman.

After a few days of killing the boarman, everyone pretty much had the idea of how weirdly strong the boarman were.

From the data of system appraisal, their stats were insanely high compare to the explorers. Even with the help of the essence, their total stat was nowhere near the total stat of the boarman.

Due to that, everyone had been focusing on only increasing the stat that they deemed to be important with the essence.

It did not make sense that a level 11 E grade boarman had a total stat of almost 400 and compare to the same level 11 E grade explorers with a total stat of 110, they were like night and day.

Everyone finally knew the reason the changes done by the system in getting more stats by training because everyone assumed that the boarman was exercising a lot and thus they had higher stat.

When everyone found out about the feature, no one really care to do that to increase their stats because it was too hard.

However, with their current situations, they regretted not training their body that much. Now, even if they tried training their body to the hardest, their stat won't increase to the level where they can fight on the same power as the boarman.

Everyone was relying on the essence that Cade provided except for Ben where he can do it by himself. Luckily, Cade was not selfish.

If Cade used all of the essence on himself, it was possible for him to become the strongest among them.

"So, are we going to retreat? What is the point of you showing the picture of our dead comrade then?" Dianne was mad when she thought of that. She knew that they will not stand a chance against a C grade boarman but when she thought of running away, Dianne was extremely mad.

"Even if we want to run away, we cannot do that because one of our main mission targets is in this base," said Xing. Everyone looked at him and they all had the idea of what Xing was talking about.

"Which accompanying core?" asked Rico who had stayed silent all this time. He was angry but he stayed silent like Cade and had been observing all this time. The main reason he did not talk was because they were all older than him.

"The scout did not know that. He did detect the core in the map and the system marked it as the accompanying core though without the grade," said Xing.

"The E grade core was destroyed by someone and that left either the D grade or C grade. We did not know if this is their biggest base or there are bigger base so we cannot deduce the grade of the accompanying core," said Tyrren.

"However, it is possible for this accompanying core to be C grade right, because there are many C grade boarman among them," said one of the explorers.

"That is not necessarily true. It is possible that-" when Xing was talking, suddenly the system sent a notification. He looked at everyone and they all got one. Suddenly, they heard a loud roar coming out of their camp.

No, it was not the roar from the boarman but the explorers. It was the roar of joy. Everyone in the tent read the system notification and they smiled.

"We need to do our role too," said Xing.
