Legendary Shelter Survival Guide-Chapter 344: You’re on a dangerous path (1)

Days passed, and Lucas completed every single task he had planned. Every hut now had furniture—a basic structure of a bed, though lacking a mattress, and a set of table and chairs to give a more homely feeling. John, the administrator of the territory had already shifted his work to his own hut except for the leatherwork.

The huts lacked gates, and since Lucas didn’t have much time to make them, everyone simply used tanned leather as curtains.

Everyone had moved their usual sleeping setups onto the beds, and sleeping had become more comfortable since they no longer had to rest on the ground.

The meeting about healing and taming was also over, Ella was now both the tamer and the healer of the territory while Sandra was still the healer but only for what happened inside the shelter.

The most noteworthy development during these days was the growth of the crops. They were now a foot long, and according to Phil, their maturity was nearing.

While Lucas didn’t know how far away winter was, he had started making substantial progress. Every single wall in the huts and the defenses now had simple heat runes etched on them. These runes were of a weaker form but required only a few upgrades to increase the heat as needed over time.

By the winters, he was trying to upgrade the shelter once whose preparations had already started. Only after the upgrade would he be able to realize what more needed to be added.

In the clearing, a few more plots of land were cultivated with the same seeds. While the seeds were inferior in quality compared to what was found on Earth, they possessed the same qualities as wheat. After analyzing that, Lucas had decided to help Phil prepare additional patches of land for cultivation.

Having something whose properties were the same as wheat, the territory would finally be able to bring back bread and many products that could become a staple crop in the future.

Peace was the only word that could describe their current situation. The territory had been too quiet ever since Lucas had allowed some monsters to mark their own territories on the land. Monsters hunted each other, and while things were stable, Lucas needed some weaker ones to help his people, who were in dire need of leveling up.

As part of this effort, special force members Sarah and Jerry ventured out as a duo to level up and complete the territory missions. Although they were still in training and had a big chance of dying while going outside alone, Bill secretly followed them in their shadows to provide assistance without their knowledge.

Lucas focused primarily on his teleportation skills. Over the past few days of training, his level had significantly improved. He was now able to transfer rocks weighing up to 200 kilos with little effort but considerable mana. He had also experimented with etching teleportation circles onto large rock slates, and the results were very promising. The only remaining step was to send living creatures from one place to another, but Lucas intended to improve his skill further before attempting it.

The shelter’s progress was remarkable, except for the foreign entity still captured. It had already provided Lucas with a great deal of knowledge through forceful means. There was no need for physical torture, as the Kobold was already emotionally scarred.

Having completed most of the work in the shelter, Lucas was finally ready to re-enter the dungeon.

"So, how many stages do you think we can assign to getting my knowledge?" a hurried and excited voice came from a smiling girl briskly walking through the forest.

"That will depend on how much we gain from clearing one. We can’t allocate too much to your knowledge, as other things also need attention," the man with her muttered.

"Tch," Sarah clicked her tongue and frowned at Lucas. Her eyes were fixed on him when she realized something, "Have you grown tall?" She asked.

Lucas looked at himself and then back to the way, "I don’t know about that but my peak height is 6’5 which I will reach in the next 15 years.

"6’5? Woah, what do you think my height will be in 15 years?" She asked with suriostiy.

"How would I know that? And if you keep moving away from physical training like now, you will never be taller than now." Lucas said in a teasing tone.

Their bickering continued and only a few minutes were left before they reach the dungeon, there were only the two of them traveling. Bill was currently shadowing Sarah and Jerry, doing his best to keep them alive.

After some time, they reached the dungeon gate and entered without wasting a single thought over entering. As they stepped inside, Lucas kept a close eye on Sandra and her emotions. It had been a while since she last entered the dungeon, and her previous experience had scarred her deeply. He could sense hesitation in her, but beyond that, there was no panic or urge to leave.

’Her decision to bring her brother back might have changed her mentality. She no longer sees death as the final point...’ Lucas thought with unease. Death was supposed to be the end, and to believe otherwise was bizarre, to say the least.

-"You are back early this time, Lucas Garde."-

Sandra flinched. The room itself had spoken, a phenomenon she hadn’t experienced before.

"It’s good to meet you again, Overseer. May we have a formal chat first?" Lucas asked with a warm smile.

-"I would be delighted. It has been quite a while since we did something like this. Please, enter the gate."- The Overseer’s voice was robotic.

Sandra glanced at the room and then at Lucas, her face a mixture of surprise and confusion. "I feel like a third wheel here," she muttered. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

"Why is that? Well, let’s go have our chat first." Lucas dismissed her question, seeing it as a child’s idle thoughts.

The white gate opened on its own, and Lucas entered without hesitation, followed shortly by Sandra. The scenery changed completely, and they found themselves in a pure white room. Sandra felt a strange sense of familiarity with the setup.

At what seemed to be the center, energy particles began to manifest, forming a table and chairs. Lucas smiled as he recognized the setup; it was identical to their previous meeting. He moved forward, prompting Sandra to follow. Midway, energy began to materialize again, and soon a white-gowned, beautiful girl appeared before them.

Her hair had golden strands, and Sandra flinched at the sight of her form.

-"Please, sit,"- the girl said in a robotic voice, devoid of emotion.
