Chapter 289: Goblin Beasts! Again! Part 1

Feeling his soul sucked out his body, Adam opened his eyes to see that he was in the familiar closed-off room that led to the long corridor into the dungeon.

Adam's eyes had a glint of killing intent and drive as he took a deep breath and walked towards the corridor.

The gate that was closing off the corridor began to move and opened up the corridor to him as Adam without hesitation rushed through the corridor.

He didn't know what the expect and knew that it would be a difficult floor that would require him to surpass his limits, but that by no means scared him and he was beginning to become excited.

[With high risks come high rewards and I won't stop at becoming an Advanced Cultivator] said Adam to himself as he jumped into the light at the end of the corridor and felt himself be sucked into another space.

As soon as he felt himself enter the dungeon, Adam spread his spiritual sense and scanned the area around him, while he equipped all of his most powerful equipment.

He had two daggers, the giant ant beast armour and many other pieces of equipment that enhanced his body. Adam bought all the equipment he needed to fill in all the spaces that he had around his body and his stats were instantly increased by over 100 points.

However, despite his caution and quick preparation, there weren't any beasts around him and Adam saw that the place he was in was familiar was horrible memories began to reappear within his mind.

[Don't tell me that....]

{Yes, Adam, the beasts on the final floor of the Mortal Dungeon are goblin beasts, however, this floor is nowhere near as easy as floor 0. This floor is as big as a city and filled with powerful beasts that could easily devour ordainry Advanced Cultivators that you have come across} affirmed Ava who could tell what he was thinking.

Hearing that, the first traumatising experience that he had reappeared within his mind as he remembered the test on floor 0 that he had to complete to gain the Dungeon System and the collector Skill.

[He, now I can kind of get revenge. Although the beasts don't remember what happened and they aren't the same beasts, it will be very satisfying to kill them all and make sure that not a single one of them is allowed to live] scoffed Adam within his mind.

{This is a goblin beast city and the small plot of land that you are stood on is the safe zone, just like you can remember. However like I have said, this floor is very different to floor 0 and you can't try and complete the floor in the same crazy and reckless way that you attempted to do so on floor 0} stated Ava.

{Use your Hunter's mind to its full capacity and you will need to be smart and strategise on this floor. You cannot waste your energy recklessly as if you do, you will be an easy target for the goblin beasts to pick off. You can't go all out and use the Bloodlust Characteristic's full power until you are sure that you have reached the end of the floor. This test is a test of your hunting ability and if you fail to be recognised by the system's program as a worthy hunter, there are many sactions} she continued.

{This is a special floor so how it works is very different to what you are used to. There are a certain amount of beasts and they will not disappear after being killed and the host will not receive any EXP for defeating them. More beasts can be produced by the beasts themselves, but not by the system and the goblin beasts have their own city in the centre of this floor. Your goal is to kill all beasts without dying, while also completing the system's hidden test} informed him Ava.

Adam, hearing that, was surprised, but also glad that it was the case.

"I will defeat every single one of those cruel beasts and they will probably be working together and I cannot alert them like I did previously" mumbled Adam to himself.

"This will be fun and at the end of it, I can skip 10 LVLs and become an Advanced Cultivator"

[Will I receive gold and system points from killing the beasts?] asked Adam.

{No, but that is because all the gold, stat points and EXP that the host should have gained from defeating all the goblin beasts on the floor will be used to provide you with rewards, stat points and will be what makes you skip 10 LVLs and break through the Novice Cultivation Level} answered Ava.

With that, Adam had been told everything he needed to know as he unequipped all the equipment that he equipped, apart from his daggers and the equipment that increased his speed.

"Stealth is the most important thing for me here, and luckily my speed stat is still my highest stat and with the Step Skip Skill and Hunter's mind, I should be fine," he said to himself as he attempted to bring up the system menu.

Normally whenever he intended for it to appear, it would appear before him as if he was in a virtual reality game.

[Ava, why isn't it working?] asked Adam within his mind.

{The menu and system functions have all been removed on this floor and even I am not allowed to offer you external or additional help other than giving you advice or warnings. However, I cannot tell you anything that you don't know and the only thing you have access to is the inventory} answered Ava.

Hearing that, Adam's expression slumped and the only reason that he was calm and confident enough to stop and talk to Ava about the floor was because he was in a safe zone and because he knew, through his spiritual sense, that there weren't any beasts around him.
