240: Chapter 240 isn't A-rank difficulty! It's S-rank difficulty!?

In the live broadcast room, the bullet comments were dominated by 'D-rank'.

Everyone hoped that An Ke's first dungeon's difficulty wouldn't be too high.

At the same time, inside the broadcast.

The giant python flicked its tongue, then spoke in a low voice:

'Boss, this humble one couldn't gather any pheromones from inside the cave.'

'It feels like there's nothing inside except darkness.'

A Giao was already scared, and hearing this made its fur stand on end even more.

After all, it lived in this Bamboo Forest and knew a bit about this 'man-eating cave'.

'Giao! Clan Leader, are we really going in?'

A Giao turned its head to look at An Ke, who was sitting on its back.

It gulped frantically: 'I've never seen any animal that went inside come back out.'

Savage Yi also felt immense pressure, taking a deep breath:

'Our tribe sent savages in before.'

'Three times in total.'

'The third time, we told them to just linger near the entrance and come back out soon.'

'But in the end, they never came out.'

'Since that time, we haven't dared to send anyone else in.'

'That weird?' Old Crocodile exclaimed in surprise.

Beside him, Sister-in-law Crocodile shot Old Crocodile a disdainful look:

'You've traveled so many places, yet you make a fuss over something like this.'

'Did all that travel experience go to the dogs?'

'And you still had the nerve to brag to This mother every time you came back. Thinking about it now, it's really laughable.'

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Crocodile added with contempt:

'Could it be you were secretly meeting with some little crocodile woman somewhere?'

'And then lied to This mother, claiming you were traveling?'

Old Crocodile, who valued honor, felt his reputation was being insulted.

Immediately, he puffed up with indignation:

'Is Old Crocodile that kind of croc?'

'My love is steadfast and unwavering!!'

Little Scar nearby quickly chimed in: 'This king is the same.'

He said this while grinning and looking at the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey sneered: 'At least Old Crocodile openly only has Sister-in-law as his wife.'

'What about you?'

'You used to have eight wives, and you dare say you're the same?'

'...'

The animals' conversation was getting more and more off-topic.

But it also eased the tense atmosphere.

It allowed the savages and animals to relax their nerves.

An Ke smiled, then looked at the cave that from the outside resembled a 'black hole'.

The cave also gave him a feeling, as if once you entered, you couldn't come back out.

This feeling also made An Ke feel resistant deep down.

But then he thought, since he was already here, he couldn't just turn back, could he?

It has to be said, 'since we're already here' is a versatile excuse.

'Let's go!'

'Yi, you and your clansmen prepare the torches.'

Saying this, An Ke patted A Giao's large rear.

Although afraid, A Giao still obeyed An Ke's command, stepping forward towards the cave entrance.

'Brother, wait for me!' Seeing this, Hua Hua immediately followed behind.

Not just it, the other animals, seeing An Ke heading into the cave entrance,

all rushed to catch up, afraid that if they entered later, An Ke might be in danger.

The savages exchanged glances, took a deep breath, lit the torches they had prepared in advance, and followed closely inside.

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

The entire Dragon Country held its breath.

'Boss An has gone in!!'

'What difficulty rank will it be?'

'D-rank! I hope it's D-rank!'

'Please don't start with a high difficulty rank!'

'Let Boss An get used to it first.'

'Give him a simple one to break the ice...'

'...'

In the live broadcast room, seeing the Dragon Country Masses talking about D-rank difficulty,

the Foreigners wouldn't have it.

Lighthouse Country netizen:

'Our contestant went in alone, and it was a C-rank dungeon. You Dragon Country folks have a whole crowd going in and still want a D-rank dungeon?'

'Exactly! At the very least, it needs to be A-rank difficulty, otherwise how is it fair?'

'A your mother! Your entire Kimchi Country are all A-cups!'

'sibal! The women in our Kimchi Country are all D-cups, okay?'

'Yeah, right! With all that technology and effort, who can compare to you?'

'sibal! Give Dragon Country an A-rank dungeon!!'

Monkey Country: 'Strongly propose giving the Dragon Country's National Fate Bearer an A-rank dungeon.'

'Damn! Looks like we didn't beat you enough back then.'

'...'

While the Dragon Country Masses outside were verbally battling a crowd of scholars, the National Fortune Game's announcement sounded in the live broadcast room:

[Dragon Country's Number One Player An Ke has entered a Stage 1 dungeon.

dungeon Difficulty Rank: S-rank!]

The next second after the announcement,

the live broadcast room erupted in celebration from countries like Lighthouse, South Korea, Monkey, Philippines, etc.

'I thought A-rank was the highest difficulty dungeon, but there's actually an S-rank.'

'Hahaha! God, this pleases me.'

'C-rank was already so difficult. S-rank, you can imagine the difficulty.'

'So what if your Dragon Country's National Fate Bearer can communicate with animals?'

'He's definitely going to die.'

'Bring in a few Tyrannosaurus Rexes to play.'

'I think giant leeches are more fun. If you get tangled with those, you'll definitely be sucked dry.'

'Even cutting them is useless.'

'Right, they can also split.'

'Suck An Ke and his animals dry of blood!'

'Waiting for Dragon Country's wails of grief!'

'I just love seeing the pained expressions on Dragon Country people's faces...'

'...'

The S-rank difficulty dungeon was beyond everyone's expectations.

It sent the Foreigners into a frenzy of joy.

They previously thought an A-rank dungeon could kill An Ke.

At the very least, it could severely weaken him.

Let alone now, with it being an S-rank dungeon.

Now, they were just waiting for An Ke's death.

As for the foreign masses here, they currently had no mood to argue with the Foreigners.

The S-rank dungeon difficulty had their nerves on edge.

Their faces changed drastically.

C-rank difficulty was already considered perverse.

What about S-rank difficulty?

It's probably perversity opening the door for perversity—perversity coming home.

One careless move, and it's very likely a total wipeout.

The masses complained to the [National Fortune Game] in the live broadcast room.

But this was utterly meaningless.

An Ke had already entered the S-rank dungeon; the fact couldn't be changed.

Dragon Country High Command meeting room.

All high-ranking officials entered a state of emergency.

But all high-ranking officials understood that this was all in vain.

If An Ke truly encountered danger,

they, the people outside, couldn't provide any help.

They could only watch helplessly.

Most crucially, this week's '100-character bullet comment' had already been used.

They didn't even have a means to contact An Ke.

Elder Li felt somewhat helpless.

This was why in previous weeks, the high command leaders sometimes delayed sending bullet comments.

After all, no one knew if the next time would be even more dangerous, if An Ke would need help even more.

Once used up, it meant that for the rest of the week, they could no longer help An Ke.

But before, they had no choice but to send the bullet comment to inform An Ke about the choices of other countries' contestants.

Right at this moment, Elder Li slowly spoke:

'There's no need for everyone's faces to look like they've eaten shit.'

'We just need to do as before and choose to believe in An Ke.'

'An Ke has brought us so many shocks and reversals before. I believe this time he can also turn the tide.'
