Chapter 329: Floor 2: The Bloodroot Tunnels
Samuel's POV
The moment I stepped onto the second floor, the air changed.
No longer stale and stone-cold—it was humid, heavy, laced with a coppery stench. The narrow tunnel ahead was crawling with thick, pulsating roots that looked almost alive, as if the entire dungeon floor was breathing through them. Glowing red veins pulsed underfoot, leading deeper into the darkness.
"Alright, Bloodroot Tunnels... let's see what nightmares you've been cooking."
I cracked my gauntlets together—my favorite pair, reinforced with the Fangshard Sigil—and the kinetic energy snapped through the space around me like thunder.
A voice echoed from the shadows ahead. Low. Whispering. Hungry.
"The fangless trespasser descends. Will you howl or be consumed...?"
I raised an eyebrow. "You know, I'm really starting to love the creepy dungeon narration. Adds flavor."
