Daily Life of a Reincarnated Explorer (ENG) C027

Chapter 027

Today, I strayed from the route on the fifth floor and transformed into my fox spirit form. This body also heightens my senses, so I can sense the approach of the ambush snake before it can surprise me.

As I burn the ambush snake, which can't ambush me anymore, I head to the sixth floor. The bears take a long time to attack physically, but if I roast them with fox fire, it doesn't take much effort.

And then I arrive at the seventh floor. Many explorers give up here. They are reluctant to defeat the humanoid monsters, like goblins, and can't proceed ahead.

Furthermore, there are many explorers who don't go further than the fifth floor, due to the fear that the enemy will use weapons or being attacked by multiple goblins. The bears on the sixth floor are often avoided because they take a lot of effort to defeat.

"Gugya? Gugigya!"

"Gagya, gugagya!"

Three goblins spotted me, and their eyes changed color as they charged forward. Like most fantasy clichés, the goblins of this world use human women as seedbeds, so they are disliked by female explorers.

The seventh floor is a labyrinth, so the passageways are not very wide. Even though they are small, three goblins would be stuck if they were to stand side by side, but they are all rushing forward to get hold of me, a cute fox-eared shrine maiden, and they got stuck.

If someone could let the other go ahead, they could move, but they have no social skills. They only think about getting my body as fast as possible.

Even though I am used to malicious stares, it is not a pleasant thing. When I hit them with the foxfire, all three turned into a pile of ash, disappearing, leaving their magic stones behind.

"I can kill goblins instantly with the foxfire. I guess it would be better to do close combat as well, but..."

Like most novels, the goblins of this world are also incredibly smelly. Their loincloth is a rare drop, but it smells so bad that it is forbidden to take it home.

If I go further, kobolds will appear, so I'd better get used to fighting humanoid monsters in close combat with them. I follow the famous saying from my previous life, "filth should be incinerated!" and burn them all.

Since I skipped the close combat training, I have a lot of time left. I won't be conquering it, but I'll fight the enemies on the eighth floor a bit before heading back. The enemies on the eighth floor are quite fearsome. They require mental strength to defeat, and are strong foes that even use skills.

I proceed carefully through the cave-like floor. I soon come into contact with them, and I'm reminded of how tough they are when I actually encounter them. It's no wonder that it's said that many explorers who give up on this floor.

"Nya, meow."

A kitten appears. But it walks with a firm step, running at the same speed as an adult cat. Its pure white fur is fluffy, and its round eyes are fixed on me.

"Damn, it's sad, but this is a battle."

I steeled myself, and hurled foxfire at the kitten, and it quickly turned into a magic stone. This is a dungeon. No matter how cute it is, you must remember that monsters are what will appear.

That monster is a lost cat. It has an adorable appearance, and even if you approach it won't attack, but will instead purr and rub against you. So at first glance it seems harmless.

However, lost cats have a skill called [confusion]. They are terrifying beings that gradually confuse explorers and even lead them to fight each other.
