The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

Benjain successfully navigated through the entrance of the Smith family ancestral home and reached the interior.

After ensuring there were no traps around him, Benjamin turned his attention to the people still outside the mansion.

"You should have seen that I have successfully passed through the entrance of the Smith family ancestral home. What you need to do is not hesitate when passing through the entrance. After crossing the first section of the floor, you will encounter an area that slows down time. You just need to use the appropriate item to counteract the slowing effect."

Not only had Benjamin successfully overcome the traps at the entrance, but he also shared the solutions with the others.

Elder Seville, hearing this, smiled and nodded in approval.

"As expected of the security manager of Ocean Group, your abilities are indeed formidable. Vicky, I truly envy you for having such a top-notch subordinate."

Vicky, upon hearing this comment, merely gave Elder Seville a cold glance.

"Now that we know how to bypass the traps ahead, let's move forward quickly. We've already wasted a lot of time. The time it's taking to find the treasure inside the Smith family ancestral home is beyond my expectations. We need to speed up our actions."

Elder Seville led the way through the entrance of the ancestral home, with Irving and Vicky following closely behind.

After the three of them had passed, the rest of the group slowly entered the Smith family ancestral home.

Upon entering, Elder Seville first took a moment to survey the architectural layout of the mansion.

They were now standing in a spacious courtyard.

Directly in front of this courtyard stood a massive building, a towering cube with no windows.

On either side of the courtyard were rows of withered trees that seemed to have been dead for a long time, and beneath these rows of trees were some dead weeds.

The Smith family ancestral home appeared very eerie to everyone present.

Aron, after carefully observing the layout of the buildings, turned to his companions with a hint of surprise and said, "Isn't this layout similar to that of a tomb? The building in front without any windows resembles a tombstone, and the rows of dead trees on either side are like candles on the sides of a tomb path.

The place where we are standing, right in front of the tombstone, is where offerings for the dead are usually placed."

As soon as Aron spoke these words, the expressions on the faces of everyone around him changed dramatically.

Anna, slightly frightened, said in a disbelieving tone, "Maybe it's best not to talk like that right now. Saying these things only adds to everyone's stress, which isn't helpful for us finding the Smith family treasure quickly."

Aron nodded, seemingly agreeing with Anna's point.

And then both of them fell silent and spoke no more.

Although Aron stopped talking, his words had already been heard by everyone around. A shadow seemed to hang over everyone's hearts.

At this moment, Elder Seville coughed twice: "Let's not worry too much for now. No matter what dangers we face ahead, Irving and I can handle them. The strength of the two of us is more than sufficient. Even if we, on our own, cannot manage the danger, Vicky should be able to use her heritage to help us escape from peril."

Elder Seville, aiming to stabilize the group's morale, openly shared his inner thoughts.

He insisted on having Irving accompany him so he would have additional support in dangerous situations.

Even if Irving were an adversary, Elder Seville could choose to flee ahead of time and let Irving cover their retreat.

Upon hearing Elder Seville's words, Irving scoffed and said, "Elder Seville is right.If there is indeed danger, he will surely offer you all the assistance you need."

Although Irving's response appeared to agree with Elder Seville on the surface, his tone was subtly mocking.

Indicating that he did not really believe Elder Seville would save anyone else.

"Regardless, we are all here now. Even if you wanted to leave, it would be impossible, as the doors of the Smith family ancestral home have already been sealed shut." Irving added.

While everyone had been silent, Benjamin suddenly spoke to the group.

Until now, everyone's attention had been focused on the interior of the Smith family ancestral home, but Benjamin had been the only one looking towards the exterior.

Thus, he was the only one who had noticed the doors being closed.

Hearing Benjamin's words, everyone, including Elder Seville, quickly turned their heads to look back at the entrance of the Smith family ancestral home.

Just as Benjamin had mentioned, the doors of the Smith family ancestral home were indeed tightly closed. Even if they wanted to escape, it was now impossible.

"At this point, we can only proceed as planned. Let's continue our exploration forward; finding the Smith family treasure will allow us to leave here cleanly."

Elder Seville stated, despite his slight concern.

He successfully convinced the others to move forward with him.

The Night Blades members were divided into two groups, one going around the massive building from the left and the other from the right.

Elder Seville, with the remaining people, stood and watched the movements of the Night Blades members.

He was well aware that those he had sent were likely to encounter danger and was prepared for the possibility that they might all be lost.

However, what happened next surprised everyone.

The Night Blades members sent out by Elder Seville encountered no dangers and eventually circled back to their original position.

"Elder, there's no path ahead. We've circled around and ended up back here." one of the Night Blades captains ran up to Elder Seville and reported.

Elder Seville's expression turned to one of extreme shock upon hearing this.

"How is that possible? The Smith family ancestral home can't possibly be this small! You must have been tricked by an illusion."

Just as he finished speaking, Elder Seville suddenly felt as though there were many people around him.

He quickly looked around and saw a multitude of spirits appearing, already beginning to attack the others.

Elder Seville was also one of the targets of these spirits.

Suddenly, the crowd was plunged into chaos.

The Night Blades members, being the weakest, scattered in all directions, trying to find a safe spot, but such a thing was impossible.

Within the Smith family ancestral home. Every part of it was laden with traps.

The Night Blades members who had just returned were not the same ones who had left.

They had been killed by traps, and only their ghosts had returned.

While everyone else was in a state of panic, Irving quickly grabbed Vicky, who was next to him.

"We must take this opportunity to break free from Elder Seville's control!" Irving said and immediately started running towards the deeper parts of the Smith family ancestral home with Vicky.

Although all the Night Blades members who had previously ventured deeper into the ancestral home had been killed.

At this moment, Irving had no other choice. He knew very well that deeper into the ancestral home, more traps awaited.

Irving had no choice but to flee deeper into the Smith family ancestral home to evade Elder Seville's pursuit.

Elder Seville, faced with the sudden chaos, was at a loss for how to handle the situation.

He shouted at the Night Blades members, "Don't panic! We can handle these spirit attacks if we stay united!"

Meanwhile, he kept an eye on Irving and his companion's movements.

Irving and Vicky were running towards the depths of the Smith family ancestral home, with Benjamin naturally following close behind. Discover magic on m-vlemp _yr.

Aron and Anna, although further away from Irving.

They also used the opportunity to successfully break free from the control of the Night Blades members.

Elder Seville, facing such a dire situation, was furious.

"If you refuse to cooperate with me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Elder Seville chose not to chase after Irving directly,

As he deemed plunging further into the Smith family ancestral home too perilous. Instead, he decided to confront Aron and Anna first. Just as Aron and Anna had freed themselves from the Night Blades, Elder Seville appeared before them.

"You fools from the Angel Guild surely don't think you can escape from me that easily, do you?" Elder Seville coldly addressed Aron and Anna.

At this point, Elder Seville had already blocked all possible escape routes for Aron and Anna.

Anna coldly replied, "You're not qualified to call anyone from the Angel Guild a fool."

Aron, standing beside her, felt there was no need for further discussion.

"Why waste words on him? Let's just take him down!" As soon as he finished speaking, Aron grabbed his weapon and charged at Elder Seville.

Anna, though feeling Aron's action was somewhat rash, still quickly followed up to coordinate with him.

Elder Seville did not take Aron and Anna seriously.

"Such folly!" he muttered.

Elder Seville then stepped forward with his left foot.

Instantly, a black door materialized in front of him. As the door opened, it locked onto Aron.

The door then closed swiftly, and with it, Aron was sucked into an unknown space.

Anna was left in shock at this development.

She had thought that she and Aron, even if not a match for Elder Seville, would at least be able to exchange blows with him.

She could never have anticipated that Aron would be subdued by Elder Seville with a single move.
