These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 109: Death Forest

It didn’t take long for Mo Yun to show up at the entrance of the Explorer Association.

When he arrived, he came in and ushered us over to his car.

Though from the corner of my eye, I could see that there were others that followed us.

It seemed that after what happened, Iris had received quite a few new bodyguards.

But before I could be worried about what was happening, I received a text.

"We’re not going to follow you in. You’ll have to keep the young miss safe."

This was the text that I received from the bodyguard that acted as my contact with the Huo Family.

I was surprised to receive this text, but it didn’t feel like it was some kind of trick.

After all, if it was, why would they bother texting me like this?

It really felt strange that they were doing this, but there was no time to think about it.

With Mo Yun’s fast driving, it took us no time at all to arrive at the dungeon that we were heading to today.

During this time, Wang Rong and Iris chatted quite a bit with Mo Yun. He was someone that I acknowledged as being charismatic, so it was only natural that he was able to tame the two of them as well.

When we arrived, he looked at me to say, "I never thought that you would be rising this quickly. I truly look forward to seeing what you become in the future."

With a smile and a nod, I said, "Please look forward to it."

He was certainly someone that I wanted as a friend in the future.

I remembered how he drove me to the dungeon zone, a dangerous thing that others wouldn’t have done. This was a favour that I would never forget and hoped that I would have a chance to repay in the future.

This time, there were far less people that were gathered around the entrance of the dungeon.

The last dungeon that I went to was a D Rank Dungeon, it was also known as a median dungeon.

The rank that most Summoners and Explorers were at was the D Rank.

That meant that this was the median level for them.

That was why most Summoners and Explorers either went to D Rank or E Rank Dungeons. Those were the places where they would be able to make the most profit without risking their lives too much.

C Rank Dungeons were much more dangerous and it was unlikely that they would be able to earn much from entering a C Rank Dungeon.

That was why most people just avoided the C Rank Dungeon and favoured the D or E Rank Dungeons.

With less people gathered around, it was much easier for us to enter the dungeon.

But since there were less people around, that meant that more people took notice of who entered the dungeon. That included someone who took a photo of Lin Fan’s group and sent it somewhere.

…

"So it’s the Death Forest! We’re going after them!"

The red haired young man still hadn’t given up.

The net of people that he deployed had worked and he found the dungeon that Iris had gone to.

But the look on his face almost seemed like he wanted to kill someone.

"If he disappears in the dungeon, then no one can say anything." A fierce and terrifying smile appeared on his lips.

…

When we entered the dungeon, the first thing that hit us was the stench of this place.

It was the smell of decay since this was a dungeon that was filled with undead monsters.

As the name suggested, this was a dungeon that was filled with death energy which meant that the monsters that filled this place were a bunch of undead. Find your next adventure on novelbuddy

At the very least, there weren’t any undead that were at the entrance of the dungeon.

But after coming in, I could see the worried look that was on Iris’ face.

"Is everything alright? If there’s something wrong, then you can leave first and we’ll come get you when we’re done here."

She slowly shook her head before saying, "I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine."

I might have believed her if she didn’t say it three times…No, even if she didn’t say this three times, it was hard to believe her with the way that she was acting.

It was clear that she was on guard against something.

"Clack."

"Eek!" Iris screamed as she jumped towards me and grabbed me.

I couldn’t help falling into a daze when this happened since…I was hit head on by her airbags.

She wasn’t hiding her figure, so they hit me right in the face…

But it didn’t seem like she had time to notice this as she was hiding her face in my chest, as if she was afraid of seeing whatever made that noise.

In the end, it was Wang Rong who awkwardly said, "It’s just some bones scattered on the side." He said this while pointing at the pile of bones that had collapsed beside the entrance.

With awkward coughs, Iris and I separated from each other.

After another awkward moment of silence, Iris slowly said, "I might not be as fine as I said I was. I might…now this is just a hypothetical, but I might be afraid of the undead…"

Bitter smiles appeared on the faces of Wang Rong and me.

If you were afraid of the undead, why did you come with us in the first place?

But it wasn’t as if we didn’t have an answer for that.

Still, it was already too late to fix this, so we could only bring her along with us.

Raising my arm, I said with a sigh, "Then stay close."

While I didn’t feel comfortable like that, it was better than her running around and causing more trouble.

Iris’ eyes lit up when she saw this and she quickly grabbed my arm with a happy look on her face.

It was as if she suddenly overcame her fear.

It made the bitter smiles on our faces become even more bitter.

Still like this, we headed off into the forest.
