Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 161 A Trap!

'It doesn't look like they are here just for hunting monsters. Unlike us, they intentionally entered the dungeon. In this scrap dungeon, what can they be after? There must be something special here.' Aurora wasn't willing to admit that she was a little interested in Shin because this was the first time she had seen someone with this high vitality.

Emily wanted to say something but stopped. After all, she is just a servant. She has no right to question her master.

Shin thought about it. 'Although Emily has some problems with her brain. Aurora seems like a nice person. Also, she is an SS rank. It's good to make connections with powerful people. Sharing Mana Stone's secret is a small price if I can get such a powerful ally.'

Thinking this optimistically. Shin decided to agree.

"Okay, but we won't share the rewards. It's something we need."

Hearing Shin's words Aurora's eyes lit up. 'Sure enough, there was something.'

Although many people made those speculations they never found anything. So this theory was discarded.

But now Shin's confident words confirmed those speculations. This dungeon does have something special about it.

Aurora was pretty excited. So she immediately agreed. After it was they who were imposing on them it's not right to ask for a share in rewards.

"Okay, we agree."

Emily never believed in Shin's words. She wanted to see him make a fool out of himself.

Alice's mood was very sour.

*Sigh*

Shin had already agreed so there was no point protesting. 'It looks like Shin wants to make connections with Vampires.' Although she knew that was the reason. She was very annoyed.

Wasn't this supposed to be their pre-wedding honeymoon?

***

Inside the dungeon which was determined to be the worst dungeon of all. Where not even the weakest awakened bother entering. Four people were walking with careful steps following the lead of one.

Shin made sure to keep his Magic Eyes activated at all times. This dungeon is very different from others. He would have just floated around with Alice if it was before. But now he has two more people. Also, it's better to not reveal his abilities yet. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Not even his guild members know that he has many abilities. They only know that it's very mysterious.

He will reveal it when it's needed.

"How long will be walking around like this?" Emily asked in an impatient tone. She regrets following him. But everything is as per her master's wishes.

"Almost there," Shin uttered.

"What do you plan to do? You should know Mettle turtles' traits." Aurora already curiously.

Shin thought about it and explained.

"Do you know what Mettle Turtles eat?"

This question was unexpected by Aurora. After all, who would know monsters' eating habits? While it's true that many researchers are indeed studying monsters. But the information is not public yet. So how could she know? 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

"No," so she replied while shaking her head. "I mean how would I even know about something like that?"

"They eat Mana," Shin answered to Aurora's surprise. He continued as muttered.

"Here it is." He bent down and picked the small plant on his left.

"Is this what you were looking for?" Aurora asked looking at the strange plant in Shin's hands.

"Yes," Shin nodded his head and slowly picked a few more.

"Do they eat this plant?" Aurora continued her questioning. What's so special about this strange-looking plant?

Shin smiled and said.

"Although they eat this, it's not enough to attract them."

Without waiting for Aurora to ask further questions he started moving rapidly.

Soon after he stopped. This place had some stable land. But that is not the reason for them coming here.

Seeing their questioning look. Shin explained.

"I will set a trap here."

Emily frowned. Shin's actions are pretty weird. She had expected him to mindlessly run around chasing those turtles. But he wasn't doing anything like that but contrary to that his actions seem calculated. She doesn't know if it's true or not but his confident tone makes it seem as if he is sure everything will work out.

She folded her arms waiting to see. What makes him so confident?

He took out the strange plant he picked before. The leaves had fire-like patterns on them. Soon Shin planted it back in the ground and started pouring his mana into it. The plain-looking strange plant started emitting a mysterious aura.

Aurora, Emily, and Alice gazed at the plant without blinking their eyes. The fire pattern in the plant lit up and it started emitting blue light.

In the next moment, Shin brought out a small jar full of honey. It was the Golden Queen bee's honey.

Aurora felt something from that honey jar. 'What is this? Why did I suddenly get the urge to drink it? Her eyes landed on Shin's neck. She gulped and immediately shifted her eyes.'

Shin started speaking.

"What will happen if the food they eat suddenly became very high quality? Added with the effects of something that will let them loose their minds."

With those words, he poured some of the honey into that plant and the jar of honey disappeared from his hands.

The plant shining in blue aura changed color and the fire pattern started glowing golden. The plant's stem also became red with golden leaves on them.

This mythical scene made everyone present dumbfounded.

Then Shin's next actions made them even more speechless.

Be walked around the plant and mumbled something to himself. Then he went close to Alice and whispered something.

Only an okay was heard from her.

Suddenly the ground trembled.

"W-Why is the ground shaking?" Emily was a little flustered.

"They are here," Alice mumbled.

"Who?" Emily asked.

"Of course the Turtles," Shin answered. "Let's go. They will be here soon."

Aurora wanted to ask for more but it was not the time.

A few seconds after they left. A swarm of Mettle turtles appeared.

"T-This.." Emily's face paled. Not because she was afraid but because she had never expected to witness such a scene. It is very difficult to even kill or find one of them. But now an army of them is running frantically.

'How could this be?' Her eyes moved at the mysterious plant and then at Shin who was calmly observing the scene uphold. 'Just, who is this guy?:
