Treasure Hunter

Chapter 9: Dungeon

“Nice to meet you, Leit. I'm sure there's thing that you are busy with so I won't waste your time. I'd like to invite you to join my organisation, the Hunting Chameleon.” said Garry. 

“First explain to me what exactly this organisation is and what I can get from it, I don't like working for free.” Leit's last sentence brought him bad memories. 

“Of course. Hunting Chameleon is one of many assassin organisations that exist not just on Mars but also all over the solar system. What's different about our organisation is that we target anyone with money or is wealthy. Your target can either die or buy their life from you and you have to abide by only these two rules. Of course we also assassinate our competitors if the chance arises, the organisation also doesn't restrict anyone's freedom so you can accept your target from anywhere in the solar system using this.”

Garry then took out a compass that once infused with Mana, revealed the map of Mars with one blue spot and many red spots. 

“This is a Compass World Map, CWM for short and it shows me my current location and the location of my targets. The blue dot represents me and the red dots represent targets. When I touch a red dot, onfirmation about my target will appear in a panel form that I can read and decide whether to kill or not. For every target you eliminate, you receive Chameleon points and you can use these points to exchange for information or treasures. So what do you say?”

“Me and my wives will join your organisation. There's no harm in obtaining benefits while doing something you like, right?”

“Great! Here's your CWM which also acts as your identity as one of us. Just sign up and you'll be one of us.”

Leit then signed up on the CWM which was relatively easy because he only needed to provide his name or code name and his rank and it was done. 

“Since my job here is done then I'll take my leave. Leit my friend, I really admire and look up to you, especially your lifestyle.” said Garry before disappearing into the shadows. After Garry left, Leit went into deep thoughts. 

‘Should I eat you or not?’

…

“Captain, we've tested the blood samples and they do indeed belong to many members of the Birdman Mercenary Group and we also received some semen samples and they belong to the target. Two female members of the Birdman Mercenary Group are missing, it's possible that they are in a relationship bad might have betrayed the Birdman Mercenary Group.”

“Good job. Now, use whatever tracking means you have to quickly locate the two females from the mercenary group. Finding them might lead us to the target, now go!”

“Yes, Sir!”

…

Leit didn't know that there were people following his tracks and was still travelling deeper into the forest. According to the map, he hadn't even reached the inner circle of the forest. 

What Leit didn't know was that the deeper into the forest you went, the more dangerous it became because stronger monsters lived in the deeper parts of the forest. While travelling, Leit suddenly smelled something delicious again. 

“Ladies, let's go this way. I think I've found something interesting.” said Leit in orc language and that's the language he now spoke in. The deeper in the forest, the stronger the aromatic scent.

A few hours later, they finally reached their destination but it was completely different from what Leit was expecting. In front of him was a statue of a ten meters coiled snake with a massive mouth that was open. The stench was coming from it and so Leit had to take a bite at the stone snake. But when he tried to touch the snake, he actually lost balance then disappeared. 

The female orcs were anxious and agitated by Leit’s disappearance but the matriarch whose name was One calmed the group down and approached the snake statue and also disappeared. The other orcs also approached the snake statue and disappeared one after the other. Soon, the entire family was reunited with their husband who was waiting for them. 

It turned out that the snake head was actually a gateway or portal to another place that Leit and his wives were currently in. If Leit could describe this place in one word then he'd say “Dungeon” and if he was asked to describe it in two words, he'd say “Colossal Dungeon” because this place was huge. 

The spiral staircase hallway was tens of meters tall and very spacious like it was home of the giants or some colossal creatures. Lighting up the place is glowing crystals embedded on the walls and there's only one hallway with many doors on both sides of the staircase hallway. 

“Do you think there are traps placed here?” asked Leit while he considered entering the first room of the hallway. 

“No, my instincts suggest that there aren't any traps but we must still approach the door with caution.” answered One and the others also nodded in agreement. 

“Great, then let's cautiously enter the first room and see what's inside. Maybe there's ancient treasures.” said Leit while taking on his Octo-Carnivorous Fishman Transformation. The group then slowly approached the door until they stood in front of it. When they reached the door, it automatically opened and the group entered then it closed behind them. 

The room was very big and spacious but that was not the most important thing. What was important was the brown skinned goblins in the thousands that were looking at them with crazed eyes and lustful eyes toward his wives. 

[Water Bullets]

A drop of red water appeared in front of every goblin, attracting the goblins attention but before they could figure out what it was, the water droplets pierced their skulls, instantly killing them. It hadn't even been a minute, the goblins hadn't even attacked once and they were already dead. 

“Never look at my wives with such eyes because I'll kill you.”
