Dungeon Survival: Starting with a Succubus School Beauty

Chapter 19 The Dwarf Territory!

Despite their disgust, the three of them forced themselves to swallow the entire fruit whole.

As the last bite of fruit disappeared down my throat, the nauseating taste receded like a tide, replaced by a strange sensation awakening deep within my body.

"Huff...huff...I'm alive again..."

Lin Xia leaned against the cold armor plate of the doomsday chariot, panting heavily, her forehead covered in cold sweat, but her eyes gleamed with an uncontrollable excitement.

"This price... is too high..."

Shuang Ruxue patted her chest, still shaken, but soon, her fair fingers lightly touched the air.

Where the fingertips touched the void, a pale green halo, like rippling water, appeared out of thin air and quickly expanded into a clearly defined portal!

Inside the door was a hazy, gray-white space that seemed to exist independently of reality.

"It's done!"

Shuang Ruxue looked at the door she had opened with surprise, and then tried touching the rock wall next to her. Another door leading to the same space instantly formed.

"It really works! It's amazing!"

Like a child who has received a new toy, Shuangruxue excitedly tried opening and closing the door, its crimson tail tip wagging happily.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuyun took a deep breath and made a thought.

Swish!

Her body instantly disintegrated into dozens of pieces!

Arms, legs, torso, and head, as if controlled by invisible threads, float in the air, each moving and rotating flexibly.

The cat ears and tail also separated and playfully twitched in the air.

The severed limbs seemed to be connected by some invisible force field, without any sense of bloodshed, but rather with a strange harmony.

"It feels...so strange!"

Zhu Zhuyun's voice seemed to come from all the fragmented parts at the same time, carrying a hint of surprise and excitement.

She controlled her split right hand, which flew more than ten meters away in a flash, nimbly picked up a small stone from the ground, and then flew back to reattach it to her arm. The whole process was incredibly smooth.

"I feel absolutely no pain, and I have complete control! Boss, Sister Xue, take this!"

Zhu Zhuyun, feeling playful, quickly and gently kicked one of her feet at the tip of Shuang Ruxue's upturned tail.

"ah!"

Frost retracted its tail and glared reproachfully at Zhu Zhuyun's split form.

"Stop fooling around, Zhu Yun!"

Shuang Ruxue casually opened a small air door next to Zhu Zhuyun's flying foot.

Her toes slipped through the door and fell out a few centimeters above Zhu Zhuyun's head.

Startled, she let out a "meow," and all her split forms instantly returned to their original positions, transforming her back into a complete cat-eared girl. She patted her chest, still shaken.

"Haha, they're already playing!"

Lin Xia couldn't help but laugh when she saw the interaction between the two women.

Seeing that the other party had used the fruit's power, Lin Xia also felt a little itchy to fight, and with a thought, she made a move.

Sizzle—!

A blinding blue-white burst of lightning suddenly exploded in his palm!

The leaping arcs of electricity crackled with a chilling sound, and violent energy coiled and gathered at his fingertips, instantly forming a fist-sized, extremely unstable ball of lightning!

The lightning orb emitted terrifyingly high temperatures and energy fluctuations, distorting the surrounding light.

Lin Xia had another thought and suddenly hurled the lightning ball at a rock about half a person's height in the distance!

boom--!!!

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the underground cave!

The blue-white lightning instantly engulfed the rocks, and the blinding light made Shuang Ruxue and Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously squint.

The gravel scattered like cannonballs, and dust filled the air.

When the lightning dissipated, only a charred, shallow pit and countless tiny, sparkling fragments of rock remained.

"hiss……"

Zhu Zhuyun gasped, her cat ears perking up alertly.

This power is far more terrifying than her strongest Netherworld Slash!

"Such immense power!"

Looking at his palm, still crackling with electric arcs, and feeling the surging thunderous power within him, Lin Xia felt a surge of pride.

With SSS-level luck, the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Battle Qi Body Tempering Technique that allows for unlimited physical growth, this start is simply dreamlike!

Shuang Ruxue also put away her playful thoughts, her eyes sparkling as she watched the electric light dancing in Lin Xia's palm.

With a stronger master, the team's safety is better guaranteed.

"good!"

Lin Xia nodded in satisfaction and put away the electric arc in her palm.

Then, she transformed her body into elemental form and let Zhu Zhuyun attack her. Seeing that it had no effect, Lin Xia nodded in satisfaction.

"The destructive power and speed of the thunder, the extreme evasion and unpredictable attacks brought by Xiaoyun's Split into pieces, and the strategic mobility provided by Xiaoxue's Doors have directly elevated our team's survivability and combat capabilities by several levels!"

Lin Xia glanced at the exotic orchard that still radiated an alluring glow and whose branches were laden with fruit, and shook her head.

Anyway, there aren't any really awesome Devil Fruits anymore.

Seeing that she still had two digging opportunities left, Lin Xia didn't hesitate and immediately looked around at the walls of the underground cave.

A familiar lucky charm appeared before my eyes:

[Lucky hint: Dig ahead, and you'll find a forest of highly poisonous thorns.]

(A single prick can make your head swell up like a pig's head for three days, unless you want to experience what it feels like to be a balloon.)

[Lucky Hint: Digging further will lead you to the Ice Crystal Spider's Nest.]

(A dense swarm of tiny spiders and a grumpy mother spider, choosing this path to be wrapped up like a mummy.)

[Lucky Hint: Dig upwards and you'll find an abandoned magic teleportation array.]

(Energy depleted, parts can still be disassembled, but be careful of the residual spatial turbulence that could tear you apart.)

[Lucky hint: Dig deeper, and you'll encounter a group of aggressive cave lizards.]

(Thick-skinned and tough, it's only good for practice, not much profit.)

[Lucky Hint: Dig to the left to reach the dwarven temporary mine settlement!]

(They're very hospitable; perhaps we could trade some ore for some good stuff? They seem to have a furnace!)

[Lucky Hint: Dig to the right and you'll stumble upon a cellar filled with rotting food.]

(The smell is so strong it could knock you out; its only value is proving that someone once lived here.)

"left!"

Lin Xia's eyes lit up as she pointed to the earthen wall.

"The cave on the left is the dwarven settlement; they have furnaces! The ores we obtained earlier can be exchanged for refined iron!"

Shuang Ruxue certainly knew what Lin Xia meant.

The blueprints for the wireless water dispenser I obtained earlier are now only missing the refined iron.

As long as we can make this unlimited water dispenser and install it on the doomsday vehicle, we won't have to worry about water resources anymore!

Although Zhu Zhuyun didn't know what the refined iron was used for, she smiled along with Lin Xia and Shuang Ruxue when she saw them so happy.

After the three got into the car.

The drill bit of the doomsday vehicle roared as it tore through the rock wall, and the tunnel extended rapidly.

Drilling through the wall, a brightly lit, spacious mine shaft filled with the smell of metal and sweat appeared before us.

Several sturdy dwarves with beards almost reaching their belts were clanging and hammering away at the ore when they saw the steel behemoth bursting through the wall. They grabbed their hammers and pickaxes and cautiously gathered around.

"Humans? And... succubi? Cat people?"

The lead red-bearded dwarf had a booming voice, and his eyes swept across the chariot.

"What do you want? To cause trouble?"

"trade!"
