I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 239: Raid dungeon (31)

Once we climbed over the wall, we were able to see what was behind it.

This wall wasn't a thick one, so it didn't block our view of what was past it.

And as soon as we saw it, we couldn't help being shocked by what we saw.

That was because there were many different mummies that were wandering around behind this wall. However, they weren't just aimlessly wandering around.

Instead, they all seemed like they had some kind of job.

There were even what seemed to be makeshift houses that had been created by these mummies though there was no reason for that. After all, these mummies were undead and didn't need to sleep like humans.

So there was no reason for them to have homes like humans.

When we looked more closely, we could see that the mummies seemed to be imitating all kinds of things that humans would do.

There were some that seemed to be farming though there was no dirt or seeds for them to farm with. There were some that were sitting around fires with things on sticks that they were holding out, as if they were cooking these things, even though these things were clearly not meant to be cooked.

There were even some that had gathered iron from an unknown place and had created something that was like a primitive forge. They weren't able to craft anything since they had no idea how to melt that iron, but it seemed like they were learning.

These mummies had gone from monsters that wandered the corridors of this dungeon to trying to imitate human society…

Just what had happened that had given them this kind of thoughts?

Why did these mummies suddenly start doing something like this?

The more that we saw, the worse that I felt.

I had a very bad feeling brewing in my stomach, like something was going horribly wrong.

The other members of my group turned to look at me with concerned looks, but I just shook my head to show that I didn't know anything either.

The mummies that had brought us up onto the wall had already started moving to the other side of this wall.

They came to another ladder that was propped there and waved their hand at us, as if they were calling us over. At the same time, they muttered, "Rsgagered."

It seemed like they were calling us over, there was no need for words for us to understand this.

Since we were deep in the enemy territory, it was better to follow along with what our disguises made us look like. Right now, we looked like mummies just like them, which was most likely why they were bringing us into the town.

They most likely wanted to get us settled.

If I had to guess, that was most likely how most of these mummies had ended up here in the first place.

These mummies were the ones that should have been wandering the first and second floors, but instead of that, they were here building a town.

But as for how they had all gotten here, it was very likely that they had wandered up after gaining intelligence. While it was unknown how that happened, it was clear that they had some kind of instinct to gather here after gaining it.

That was why they had accepted us so easily when we had arrived in front of the wall.

After all, in the eyes of these mummies, we were also mummies thanks to Long Shui Ling's illusions.

After we walked over, the mummy gestured for us to climb down.

I looked at the mummy as if I was trying to see what it wanted, but it just waited for us to climb down.

It was the same for the rest of the mummies.

It didn't seem like there were any ulterior motives from them in letting us climb down this ladder. It seemed like they were just doing their jobs and letting us into the town.

So after a moment of hesitation, I led the way by climbing down.

I knew that if we delayed for too long, it would seem suspicious, so we could only go along with these mummies.

The others saw that I went down, so they chose to go down with me as well.

The wall wasn't that tall, so it took no time for us to reach the other side.

Once we were standing on the ground, the mummies on the walls waved their hands at us and moaned at us for a bit before turning back to face the other side. It was as if their job was already done and they were going back to guard duty.

But we couldn't help being shocked.

After all, we had no idea what we were supposed to do here.

This was a very bad situation for us since we were now deep in enemy territory and completely surrounded by them. If these mummies were to see through our disguises, there was no doubt that they would all attack us.

We might be able to fight our way out if there were a few of them, but there were just too many of them for us to do anything.

Not to mention…our backs were literally against the wall right now.

Even if we wanted to run, there was no place for us to run since there was a wall there.

So we could only stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

As we stood there, the mummies in front of us just passed by us without a single care. It was as if we didn't exist as far as they were concerned.

That was a very good thing since we definitely didn't want to attract attention right now.

But that didn't last.

One of the mummies suddenly turned in our direction and moved towards us.

This mummy raised a hand as if they were waving at us and they even started moaning something.

We knew that as soon as they tried to engage with us…our cover would be blown.
