Infinite game, this punishment is fantastic!

Chapter 15, First Dungeon Completed

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was evening.

There are only four or five hours left until the beginner dungeon ends.

"Huh? An earthquake?" Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolan exclaimed as she noticed the ship beginning to shake violently.

It makes a creaking or squeaking noise.

Chen Yang frowned and immediately looked at the clutter on the deck.

The water cup and tools were jumping wildly at an extremely high frequency, which really resembled the precursor to a major earthquake.

But then, Chen Yang realized something was wrong. If it were an earthquake, the water should be churning and churning, not like this…

"No, it's not an earthquake!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Without warning, the water around the ship swelled up, and two dark, mountain-like shadows emerged from the water.

That's not a mountain, but the upper and lower jaws of some kind of creature!

Upon seeing this, Chen Yang immediately guessed what was going on.

Their dilapidated wooden boat was unfortunately positioned right in the mouth of this giant whale.

Before the two could react, the enormous, sky-covering maw closed at an incredibly fast speed.

"Hold on!" Chen Yang only managed to shout two words before the surrounding light vanished instantly.

The surging seawater swept the wooden boat, along with its people and belongings, into the belly of the deep-sea monster.

The surroundings were filled with the stench of decay and a pungent, acidic smell.

[Corroded by strong acid: Constitution +1]

……

[Corroded by strong acid: Constitution +1]

The system notification sounds echoed in Chen Yang's mind. The inside of the whale was pitch black, almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Suddenly, a flame appeared in the darkness. It turned out that a few pieces of wood had fallen into the pool of stomach acid and spontaneously combusted.

"Is the whale's stomach acid nitrate? No, nitrate doesn't produce this reaction."

Chen Yang frowned, feeling that the chemical logic of this instance was somewhat absurd.

"Ouch! It hurts like hell!" A pig-like scream broke the silence.

The voice sounded familiar. Chen Yang followed the firelight and looked: "Scarface?"

"Damn it! Who the hell dares to call me by my nickname?"

The man cursed loudly.

By the light of the fire, Chen Yang could see clearly that it really was the same scarred man from before.

At this moment, Scarface was huddled on a bulging lump of flesh.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, had half his body submerged in a pool of stomach acid, like taking a bath.

Scarface screamed because the chunk of flesh he landed on secreted thick stomach acid, which burned off a layer of skin from his buttocks.

"Uh... Big brother? It's you!"

When Scarface realized that Chen Yang was standing in the pool, his arrogant demeanor instantly vanished, and he immediately cowered.

Chen Yang ignored his change of expression, reached out and picked up a piece of burning wood, holding it in his hand like a torch.

He didn't care at all that the flames were raging in his palm.

[Scorched by high temperatures: Constitution +3]

……

[Corroded by strong acid: Constitution +1]

The warning sounds for burns and corrosion rang alternately, but Chen Yang remained unfazed.

His current physique has reached over 300 points, so this damage is nothing to him, except for a slight sting.

The only problem was that his clothes were almost burned off.

Chen Yang climbed onto the lump of flesh, holding a torch.

Besides Scarface, Zhang Xiaolan was also huddled here, taking in the surroundings by the firelight. As for Chen Yang's unusual behavior, she was already used to it.

"Looks like this is the final hurdle."

Chen Yang observed the whale's internal structure by the firelight, his tone calm.

Then, he turned to the scarred man and said, "Hey, take your pants off."

His clothes were so tattered that they were barely enough to cover his body.

Scarface froze, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

Although he was unwilling, he looked at Chen Yang's iron hand, which was still smoking but hadn't even developed a blister.

Looking at how fiercely they bathe in stomach acid, how could anyone dare to say no?

This guy is definitely a top-tier master of feigning weakness to deceive others! Heaven knows why he came to slaughter the newbie village.

"Big brother... here, you can wear mine."

Scarface quickly pulled down his pants and handed them over with both hands.

Chen Yang took the pants, first wiping the acid from his legs with the tattered rags on his body, and then slowly put them on.

Scarface could only awkwardly tear off his shirt, haphazardly wrap it around his waist to cover his lower body, and cower in the corner, trembling.

"Scarface, were you alone here before we arrived?"

Chen Yang asked curiously.

Although they didn't have much of a relationship, they had exchanged a few words.

"Ah, yes, some. But they felt that staying here would lead to certain death, and many left against their will."

Hearing Scarface say that, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

It seems there are still some talented people out there.

Those who survived the previous trials are all ruthless.

"About how many people?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

"Not many, just two people. You recognize one of them, brother. She's the woman from the three people you used to hang out with."

Scarface then smiled and tried to get closer to Chen Yang.

"Wu Xia?" Chen Yang thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, that was her name.

"I don't know, and I didn't ask her name."

Scarface shook his head.

Including Scarface, Chen Yang, and Zhang Xiaolan, there are now five people inside the whale's belly.

Is it possible for only 5 out of 100 players to complete the game?

No, the instance hasn't officially ended yet, and it's not even confirmed whether there will be five people in the end.

Even if all five people pass the level, the success rate is still quite low.

"Zhang Yang, what should we do? Stay here, or...?" Zhang Xiaolan asked with some worry.

She's undecided right now.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Yang.

"Given the nature of this infinite game, there will definitely be a sliver of hope left."

I think staying here is fine.

Running around aimlessly might lead to other dangers.

But I'm fine with going anywhere anyway, it's up to you guys. I'm just offering a suggestion.

Chen Yang shrugged, acting as if it were none of his business.

He has already done more than enough by saying those words.

To be honest, he wasn't familiar with either of them and had no obligation to help them.

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Scarface didn't seem to mind, since he had already decided not to run around.

The events of the past few days have made him much more restrained of his gangster-like behavior, and he has learned to be more cautious and discreet.

Zhang Xiaolan, on the other hand, chose to stay because she trusted Chen Yang.

Seeing that both of them had chosen to stay, Chen Yang didn't say anything.

He also sat down cross-legged, but held a burning piece of wood in his hand.

As for soaking stomach acid in water? Chen Yang thought about it and decided against it.

On the one hand, when he came up, the intervals between the corrosion warning sounds were getting longer and longer, so continuing to soak it wouldn't be very effective.

On the other hand, it's sticky and uncomfortable.

Time flies.

Congratulations to player Chen Yang for successfully completing the dungeon "Flood Apocalypse"!
