The entrance to the dungeon looked like a circular vortex spinning around. It was much different from the grand door Jake had seen in the other lawless zone. It was more MMO-like than he had thought, which didn't repulse him but invited him like a friendly portal.

Jake stepped in.
[You have entered The Dungeon Of Burrowers.]
[Lv. Requirement: 20~~30]
And appeared in another world.
The inside of the dungeon extended forward so much that no one could see the end. It was a straight tunnel. At the same time, its walls were so wide apart that many teams could level up their characters and proficiencies. Even incisions that were at least an adult man's leg deep lined up the floor, walls, and ceilings to the other end.
"Don't stumble into the holes!"
"Yeah, there's a chance the worms will sense you and gobble you like a snack!"
Jake nodded. "Thanks for the advice."
Rabbit popped out from Jake's blind point. "Yo! I will tag along with you until the solo boss room! You're making a video out of it. Hi guys! I am luckier than you since I'm with Archer!
Haha! Sucks to be you!"
"You want to be an antagonist?" Jake chuckled.
"Yeah, why not?" Rabbit reflected Jake's smile.
Since a crowd of Ava Rice's members was already following Jake's wake, he didn't mind Rabbit escorting him to the dungeon boss' room.
Jake turned his eyes toward the monsters swimming across the dungeon's surface: worms. They weren't worms he had sometimes stomped upon on Earth, as their height was at least thrice his. Their skin was dark and encased in Earth Armor, similar to what Jake had seen on the Australian Team's tank and leader.
Players with poor perception skills often were their first victims.
Not only did those worms swim through the earth, but they were smart enough to use the natural environment for surprise attacks. Their senses were top-notch.
"Guys! Help me!"
Jake noticed an unfortunate man falling straight into one of the many holes in the dungeon. Half of his body was beneath the floor, and he seemed unable to haul himself off it. The man's eyes widened before his teammates could stretch their hands to help him.
He cried, "It's gone."
"..."
The crack in which Ender's nest existed had been filled with blood. The other aperture ahead of it trembled, and the ground separating these two crevices shattered into pieces, forming the first little canyon in the dungeon. It'd take a long super jump to cross it.
Something heavy popped into the canyon.
And then, around fifty worms sprang out from the abyss, each with Jake's blood splashed on their teeth and armor, trickling down through the crevices on their bodies.
The scene was taken straight from the horror movie. Each worm looked even more terrifying than before, and Jake's blood somehow shone in the darkness, like the liquid of the god.
Craving straight from the abyss resounded across the dungeon's first floor like whispers of death.
At the feet of the monster wall knelt Jake, who had slowly taken his hand off Ender's nest and stood up. Behind him, the crowd of players backed off, horrified by the scene. It was like tentacles of the Death God emerged to drag them to the underworld.
Jake raised his bow and nocked eight arrows.
One of the players exclaimed. "He has cheese latched to his arrows!"
Jake sneered, "Say cheese, little worms."
"Oh gosh, he's so cool!" a female player exclaimed.
"There's no way he put cheese onto his arrows to say that!"
"Shut up, he's cool as f—"
Jake released around seven eight-headed fenrirs. Each arrow flew in his desired trajectory and even further beyond. The arrows accurately slipped into the worms' mouths, then went down their forms straight to their stomachs.
Their stomachs digested the cheese.
Jake raised his squeezed hand and unfolded all his fingers.
"Five... four... three... two... one... bang!"
BANG!
The wall of worms exploded to death, their bodies splitting into a bloody mess. Their blood rained upon the first floor in abundance, drowning the dungeon in an eerie silence, along with chunks of the worms' flesh flatly falling onto the floor and their crevices.
Jake chuckled before crossing the canyon with his feather step.
Amidst the confusion, Rabbit stood still, his eyes widened.
Only he knew what had indeed happened.
"Lee... you created a monster," he muttered.
