After several hours they advanced through the dark cave, Hans and his group entered the first room, the cave was already quite wide and seeing the size of the room Hans found himself quite, after all, on earth natural caves were relatively narrow, another thing they noticed is that there were not many creatures inside the cave.
As a lover of fantasy stories, Hans had hoped to find a boss in this room, but the reality of this world was quite different from the fantasy tales on earth and he had been a bit disappointed in Jandar and the beatsman as there was no nor could I hold a proper conversation with them.
Now he couldn't enjoy proper dungeon clearing either, well if he was using swords and magic it would be great, but since he couldn't use magic he had to use firearms, the room had several mounds sticking out of the ground and ceiling, Hans It turned out upon seeing these mounds, since they appeared to be iron, on earth the iron would be in buried fragments which would take some effort to extract.
However, he was looking at mounds that seemed to be iron without any other material, if that was the case, this cave really was invaluable and even more so considering the fact that these mounds would replenish as long as the core of the dungeon remained intact.
After cleaning the room, Hans dedicated himself to taking a break and contacting Anderson to send an extraction group, since they needed to send samples of what they had found to be sure it was iron, after replenishing ammunition and that the extraction group extraction leaves, Hans continues with the cleaning.
The next room he found had a huge lake that was slightly glowing, the lake was about 3 meters deep and just like the previous room it had huge mounds protruding from the floor and ceiling, however these mounds were not made of iron and they were made of a very glass-like material with a bluish hue.
According to the information they had obtained from the twins and the 3 adventurers, this room should be a mine of magic stones, although it was the most valuable place in a dungeon, it could also be the most dangerous, since the demonic beasts would be born from the lake. , they were called demonic beasts since they did not need to grow or reproduce, they only knew how to attack and devour any living creature, there was not much information about their origin, the only thing that was known is that every so often a demonic creature would be born from a place like this.
Hans marked the place and continued with the expedition, the idea was to reduce the demonic beasts on the first floor, and then establish an extraction system, usually the dungeons had 2 magic stone mines on the first level, and it was the place of interest in this expedition, the plan was to besiege these places with permanent troops to keep the demon beasts at bay.
The exploration and cleaning of the first floor took a total of 3 days, in which the group had to go in and out several times, the other soldiers who had come also helped the cleaning group, on the first floor they found a total of 2 magic stone mines, 4 iron mines, 2 copper mines, and there were a couple of rooms with other minerals such as coal and graphite, although the amount of these minerals was small.
Not only is the entire first floor cleaned, but lights and cameras were installed all over the place, the cameras had been placed mainly at the entrances of the magic stone mine, for some reason inside these rooms the cameras were not working, the same It had happened with the exploration drone, since precisely these rooms were the ones that marked interference in the previously done exploration area.
The dungeon had a total of 5 floors, and with this information they could determine that there were many rooms like this on the other floors, something that was worrying since the more rooms the more demonic creatures opened.
Once the first floor was relatively clean, Hans began the descent to the next one, to go down from one floor to another there was a simple drop of several meters, therefore, they used some ropes and harnesses to facilitate the descent, when they reached the ground the group noted that the corridors on this floor were much wider than the previous floor.
And just before hitting the ground, they heard the noise of thousands of footsteps, using a flashlight to shine down, they could see a sea of black spiders, each spider was 2 meters long, and had sharp fangs that secreted a green substance, they had dark colors and browns and all were heading to their position quickly.
Seeing this, Hans quickly ordered that they use their grenades while using the ropes to climb, "boom, boom, boom" could be heard throughout the second floor and part of the first, after the explosions several spider bodies could be destroyed in the middle. of a sea of a strange and disgusting green liquid.
A few seconds after the explosion dissipated, another wave of spiders quickly approached, luckily Hans and his group had already climbed to the first floor, after the games of their prey the spiders tried to climb in many ways, even though they could jump they couldn't get to the first floor and luckily they didn't seem to have the ability to climb walls.
Hans took another look, and could see a sea of spiders that gave him chills, now he understood why the twins had mentioned that usually only the first floors of the dungeons were cleaned, to go deeper you needed an army or a large adventurers call
Jandar was an adventurer who had cleared the first floor and second floor of many dungeons, but usually they were controlled dungeons, not one that had never been cleared, so he had also been shocked by the sea of spiders, although they had firearms. , there were so many that 11 people would not have the capacity to finish them.
Seeing the situation, Hans placed a night vision camera pointing to the second floor to be able to watch these spiders, then he went around the dungeon several times looking for another entrance, if these spiders were able to go up to the first floor it would be a disaster, luckily there was no other entrance.
However, the possibility that these spiders found some way to climb caused him some discomfort, therefore, they would have to come up with a plan to finish them off or prevent them from climbing, for now his job was to stay on the first floor and guarantee mining. , he would let William worry about the spider problem.
On the other hand, William was in his office reading reports, according to the tests done, each mound found in the dungeon would contain several kilos of an ore, and would have a reappearance rate of 3 days, with 4 iron mines it was enough to supply the current needs for iron, therefore, more soldiers and workers had been dispatched to assist the entire operation.
Once the iron and other materials began to be processed, many things could be built, including engines that could facilitate and speed up the mining process, on the other hand the birth rate of the demon beasts was 10 per day, with only one being born every For a certain time, as there were only 2 lakes on the first floor with a unit that was permanently on duty in the place could be controlled, these demonic beasts were also considered resources, since their skin was good for making clothes and their meat was edible as long as when prepared well, as it contained some substances that could poison a human being.
However, it was not all good news, he had already received the report and video from Hans, and had seen the number of spiders on the second floor, William wanted to explore the entire dungeon and take advantage of its resources, after all only the first floor already it could generate so many profits, now not to mention the other flats that were much larger.
While William read several documents regarding the subject, the door suddenly opened and a pair of beautiful twins entered, Madison noticed that William did not even look at them and was concentrating on several documents, therefore, he approached the table and with a slight knock spoke "Tell me boss, why do you make us call out of the blue?".
Madison had been busy in the last few days, in the last 4 months the town had grown too fast and the entire production had multiplied several times, which had greatly increased her work, therefore she had spent several days sleepless and trapped in a room reviewing reports, for some strange reason walking through the door and noticing that William ignored them, she got angry which ended in her behavior.
William already knew Madison's humor, so he stopped looking at the documents "Well, I wanted you to see something", while he was speaking he took a tablet with the video of the spiders and showed it to the twins, they already knew this strange device , and they had said that the image it generated was very similar to a certain magic that had interested William.
After seeing the video of the spider tides, both Madison and Olivia had serious looks, "These creatures are known as arachnid demons, they were usually on the lower floors in the dungeons and individually they were not a big problem, however, if they were they accumulated a sufficient amount and could get out of a dungeon could be a real danger"
Hearing about these spiders William asked "do you know of any to deal with them?", After thinking for a while Madison replied "if a large number of these creatures are discovered, the army together with the adventurers work to exterminate them, they are weak to fire because of Therefore, many magicians are used with fire spells while the soldiers and adventurers protect them."
