Cheat Awakening-Chapter 646. The Trouble Trio ( Part-5 )

"Waffle, did you hear that!? They are going on a treasure hunt! We must follow them!" Ocea, thanks to her super hearing, overheard the conversation between the fatty and Mumba, exclaimed, burying her face into Waffle, her big blue eyes almost touching his.

"All right. all right, I understand. You can also say that from a distance," Waffle pushed Ocea away from him, speaking helplessly.

"But how are we going in? There are so many people guarding it. They might start attacking us the moment they see us," Ted asked cheerfully, also quite curious to explore this mysterious cave and the treasure hidden within.

Why does this cave seem familiar? I think I have heard about it somewhere, Myne, standing not far from Waffle and the others, looked at the sealed, mysterious cave with a frown, the sense of deja vu, coming from this place was a bit too obvious to him.

Bang!

Whoosh!

As a random guy moved a big rock from the debris, a small hole finally opened towards the cave. But before he could be happy and scout to give others this good news, a very eerie and terrifying aura suddenly burst out from the hole.

This caused everyone within a hundred-meter radius to feel every single hair of their stand up, their legs start trembling and sweat dripping from their foreheads. Some of the weak will fall on the ground in fright, and almost pee in their pants.

"What was that!"

"It felt like a terrifying monster staring at me..."

"Boss! Did you feel that?" Mumba asked fearfully, his entire body shaking so much that he could hardly grip his sword.

"Hahaha... Wh...what are... you talking about... Gulp! I didn't feel anything?"

"Then why are your legs trembling? I think you need to talk with this mysterious friend of yours again... Anyway, I am going back. I don't need this treasure of yours." Saying that Mumba didn't waste a single second, turned around and walked towards his horse without giving the fatty a chance to speak.

"Hey! Where are you going? You are my bodyguard. If you run away, who will protect me?" The fatty hurriedly catch after Mumba. As for the rest of the people, they had long ago moved away from the cave, and many of them were so scared they couldn't stand on their legs.

...

"Did you feel that? I think we should better stay away from this place. This cave doesn't give me a good feeling," Ted spoke nervously. Because of his bloodline, he was extra sensitive to danger, especially the kind that was very obviously life-threatening.

"I think you are right. Mother once told me that if I ever encounter this kind of unknown situation, the first thing I should do is get as far away as possible... Ocea, why are you making such a creepy smile?" Waffle, who completely agreed with Ted's suggestion and was ready to flee, suddenly paused as he saw Ocea staring at the dangerous cave with an unnatural smile.

"Don't you think it's a bit too much of a coincidence that those people only tried to enter the cave today of all days, just as we planned to look for a thrilling adventure? I think maybe this is all Myne's plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't send us to this place. Don't forget before leaving we told him that we wanted to go on an exciting adventure, and he sent us here without saying anything. Obviously, he was aware of what was going on here..."

F*ck! When did I assume so many things? Why don't I know about it? And why the f*ck do her words sound so convincing that even I feel like I might have thought about that? Myne, who was scared to death by the sudden dark and deadly aura released from the mysterious cave, first felt relief seeing that Ted and Waffle used their brains and were ready to go back.

But who would have thought that Ocea, whom he always thought innocent and shy, would come up with this level of nonsense, and in just a few words, make the duo hesitate?

"Ocea, you might be right, but it doesn't feel like this place is something we should mess with. Let's not talk about whether Myne had any intention of sending us here for adventure or not, but just by feeling the level of dark aura released from the cave, I can tell that we should better stay away from it..."

"And to tell the truth, I actually don't like dark and closed places," Ted, although hesitant for a second hearing Ocea's conclusion, made up his mind again after looking at the small opening of the cave, which looked like a bottomless hole that would swallow everything.

However, having the same genes in his blood as Ocea, Waffle, who was by no means less reckless and courageous than Ocea, this time didn't agree with Ted instantly. Instead, he hesitated for a long time but couldn't make up his mind.

Ocea, seeing that Waffle showing interest in following her on this mysterious exploration adventure of the cave, her eyes lit up. She quickly moved beside him and, like a devil, began whispering about all the wonderful things they might find, all the strange monsters they could fight, and how Waffle could demonstrate his mighty strength in front of everyone.

Damn it, where did this little guy learn to fool people? And her technique seemed more powerful than mine, as expected of a girl. No one could beat them when it came to playing with boys' feelings and manipulating them on their fingers with a few words.

Myne, witnessing Ocea's performance under his and the dumbfounded Ted's shocked gaze, as she convinced Waffle to enter the cave with her, could only shake his head in amazement. He finally got to see her hidden talent.

...

"Don't worry, Mumba," The fatty soothed with a wide smile on his round face. "Just relax, everything is going to be fine. Think about your girlfriend. Don't you want to give her a happy life? It's been three years since you two started your relationship, you even lived together and had sex every day. Except for the lack of marriage rings, you two are no different from any other couple."

"But because of a lack of money, you've been hesitant to move to the next stage. I can say with full confidence that your girlfriend definitely wants to have children, right? How long are you going to make her wait? You're already 30 years old. Things will only get more difficult as time passes. After this mission, believe me, you will have enough money that you will never again have to worry about food and clothing. You can roll around on the bed with your girlfriend for the rest of your life without worrying about anything..."

"Just this last time," He continued, "believe me. And think about it for a moment. Do I look like someone who doesn't care about my life? I can also feel that this cave is far from normal, as it appears. But I am prepared, and the source of my confidence is these two big guys."

The fatty, after a great effort, had successfully fooled his loyal bodyguard into entering the cave with him. Without him, he truly wouldn't have had the courage to go there alone. After all, there are only a handful of people who are truly loyal to him, and if there is too much treasure in the cave, it is highly possible that the cannon fodder he brought might turn against him because of greed and cut him into pieces. So, for this reason, he didn't dare to leave any of his trump cards behind.

"You actually have magic cannons? Where the f*ck did you get those?"

As the fatty removed the cloth from the two carriage-like objects, Mumba's eyes widened in shock. He saw two rusty, very old-looking iron cannons with mysterious symbols on top of them, placed on a wooden carriage.

"Hehehe," The fatty chuckled, very satisfied with Mumba, and his other subordinates' response.

"A desperate guy found them in the sea. But because kingdoms near the sea don't lack those cannons, he thought about selling them here for a better price. But sadly, he came to our auction house to sell them without inquiring about it. And I snatched them from him and fed him to my dog."

"You should have watched his face. Even until his death, he didn't realize why I killed him. What a fool! He had no idea about those cannons' value in our area. Here, even the royal family doesn't have enough cannons, let alone a random low-level gang like ours. How could I let him go and spread the news that we have cannons? It's the same as a child holding a golden brick! A treasure in the hand of a commoner is an absolute crime, I am very well aware of this fact."

"I tested their power, and they have no problem killing a B-level monster in a single shot from 200 meters. But the only pain in the ass is that they consume too much power. Each shot needs a C-rank or above monster core, and the more powerful the core, the greater the power those cannons will demonstrate."

The fatty complained as he picked up an iron ball and put it into the mouth of the cannon. Then, he took out a blue crystal the size of his finger and put it into the slot at the back of the cannon, before gesturing to one of his men to adjust the mouth of the cannon at the cave entrance.

"You are really rich," Mumba commented with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "A C-rank monster core is worth more than 10 gold coins, it is literally burning money... I see, so this is why you're urging everyone in the gang to go out and hunt monsters and bring their cores recently," Mumba, who was also quite excited to see the power of the magic cannons as well, quickly walked away with the fatty and closed his ears.

With the final permission of the fatty, the cannon operator locked the wheels of the carriage, lowered the back support pillar, and after pressing the start button, he quickly jumped aside.
