When Lin Fan finally stopped, the two girls were allowed to catch their breath.
The way that he had been holding them wasn’t him lifting them off the ground and carrying them in his arms.
The way that he had been holding these two girls was that he had grabbed their hand and had been pulling them along. Their feet had been lifted off the ground and it was almost as if they were dangling behind him as they were pulled into the cave with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn’t mind this as he looked around the cave they had entered.
At first, the cave had been a normal cave.
But as they went further in, they found that this cave had completely changed appearances.
Gone were the features of a normal cave and instead there were tiles that surrounded them.
It went from a cave to what seemed like a corridor in a fancy mansion.
After going for a bit, they arrived in what seemed to be a starting room.
This was the reason why Lin Fan had suddenly stopped.
In front of him, there was this fountain that seemed to be familiar to him. It was as if he had seen a fountain that was just like this one somewhere else before.
It didn’t take Lin Fan long to realize where he had seen this fountain before.
It was the fountain that he had installed at the entrance of Rokuko’s dungeon.
This fountain was the exact same as the dungeon that had been installed at the entrance of Rokuko’s dungeon.
Even the very details were the same.
So if he had to guess, it was very likely that this fountain was the same one that he had bought from the Dungeon Master System.
But why would the new dungeon core buy something like this?
After all, this fountain was not cheap and it wasn’t something that was vital to the survival of the dungeon core. In fact, it was something that would help the enemies of the dungeon core, the ones that raided its dungeon.
So buying something like this was actually hurting it rather than helping it.
Was the dungeon core just too young to understand this or was it something else?
That was all Lin Fan could think when he saw this fountain.
After Xiao Yue and Lala caught their breaths, they looked up to see the fountain as well.
The moment that they saw the fountains, Lala said, “Ah, isn’t this the same one that’s in the dungeon?”
Xiao Yue nodded in agreement before looking at Lin Fan with a questioning gaze.
However, Lin Fan’s only response was, “It is.”
There were clearly more things that the two of them wanted to ask, but the look on Lin Fan’s face made it clear that he wasn’t taking any more questions.
So if he didn’t want to answer more questions, what could the two of them do?
All they could do was wait to see what Lin Fan had to say.
Lin Fan didn’t waste any more time and just started heading forward again. As he did, he waved his hand behind him and said, “Follow me. Make sure to take out your weapons and be on your guard.”
The two girls looked at each other before following Lin Fan with a sigh.
They also made sure to pull out their weapons as they followed behind him.
The three of them made their way down one of the paths that was in front of them.
There were multiple paths that they could take, so Lin Fan just randomly chose one since he wanted to see where it would lead him.
After walking for a bit, there was a sound that came from in front of them.
It seemed like the low growling of some kind of wild beast, but there was also something different about this.
It almost seemed human?
No, it wasn’t really human either.
In short, it was hard to describe exactly what this was, but it was definitely a strange sound.
So all three of them prepared for a fight just in case.
It didn’t take long before they were able to see what was making that noise.
There were different reactions that came from them when they saw the thing that was making this noise.
Lin Fan had a bitter look on his face seeing them while the two girls had strange looks of confusion. They looked like they had never seen the creature that made this sound before.
But that look of confusion quickly changed as they slowly started to recognize it.
They had seen this creature in the dungeon of Dungeon City before.
It was a group of goblins.
These goblins were walking down the hall of this dungeon as if they were patrolling and so far, they didn’t seem to notice Lin Fan’s group.
After looking at them for a bit, Lin Fan said to the two girls, “You can take care of this.”
Hearing this, the girls immediately nodded in agreement.
They had come to protect Lin Fan, but he was stronger than them, so it wasn’t as if he needed their protection in the first place. However, now that he was giving them an opportunity to do the job that they had been assigned, naturally they wouldn’t turn it down.
In fact, this might be the only chance that they would have to fulfill this role.
They had no idea what would be in this dungeon, but they assumed that these goblins were the weakest monsters that they would encounter since they were patrolling in the beginning area.
Lin Fan just stood back and watched as the two of them fought the goblins.
Since he had become much stronger and had gained experience from fighting, he was capable of judging their ability now.
Seeing them fight, he could even point out a few things that would help them improve.
“Don’t hold back in your swings, you’re trying too hard to balance precision with power. You shouldn’t give up using the full strength of what you have just to try to be more precise.”
After hearing this, Lala suddenly swung down hard which caused one of the goblins to be crushed into a meat patty. At the same time, the force from the hit cracked the ground under her and caused the goblins around her to lose their step.
This allowed Lala to swing her sword out in one blow that cut right through all of the goblins around her.
They had tried to resist, but they found that they were cut in half along with the weapons that they used to block this attack.
She was just too strong for them to block.
“Don’t pull back, just keep going. You’re afraid of stepping through because you’re thinking too much. You need to just go with it sometimes.”
After hearing this, Xiao Yue suddenly stepped forward and slashed out at the goblin in front of her. With her speed, the goblin wasn’t able to keep up with her and couldn’t block the attack from her at all.
The goblin’s eyes were still wide open as it fell to the ground with a large slash on its chest.
Xiao Yue was surprised that she was able to move that fast, but she didn’t hesitate to use that speed against the other goblins.
With just a few words, Lin Fan was able to point out the problems in their fighting style.
For Lala, it was that she wanted to not appear as a mindless berserker that she held back her own strength which was her greatest trump card. So it only made her weaker as she tried to be more precise.
For Xiao Yue, she was thinking too much. She was a person that thought carefully about their actions, but too much thought would cause hesitation in one’s strikes.
Xiao Yue was already strong enough, it was just that she was thinking too much that she slowed her own strikes down.
The strike that she made without thinking used all of her strength which showed just how fast she was.
With these new discoveries, it didn’t take long for the two of them to take down the remaining goblins.
When it was over, the two of them looked at their own hands with bitter looks on their faces.
They realized what they had done to limit themselves and realized how foolish they were.
Then they turned to look at Lin Fan with strange looks.
They didn’t say anything and the expression on their faces were calm, but there was a disappointed look in their eyes.
They weren’t disappointed with Lin Fan, but rather with themselves.
Lin Fan could already figure out why they were feeling this way.
Xiao Yue, Lala, and him had all started from the same starting point, but now…he had gone far beyond them at a speed that they couldn’t even hope to keep up with.
Though they knew that he was special, this feeling of being left behind made them feel disappointed in themselves.
This was made even worse when Lin Fan gave them advice on the things that they needed to change. It made it feel like he was just there to teach them rather than being by their side.
They were his women, so they had their pride.
They wanted to be women that could keep up with him and not drag him down…
So they were disappointed in themselves.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and went forward without saying anything.
In his mind, he made a mental note to do some mental care for Xiao Yue and Lala in the end.
It seemed that he had been ignoring them for a bit now…
