All the core members around them fell silent.

Pineapple Beer kept speaking. “But my memories of the outer area on Floor 15 are all patchy. I never cleared this floor with a huge group in my past life. All I know is the monsters here are way stronger, and the path stretches on for a long way. So many teams were so close to safety, only to get completely wiped out right here.”
Felix dropped his playful tone at once.
“Is that harder than Floor 14?”
“It is,” PineappleBeer said. “And it’s not just because the monsters are higher level.”
Riley glanced over at her. “What else is going on?”
PineappleBeer rubbed her temples, trying hard to pull clear details from her jumbled, broken memories.
“I remember people saying you can’t bunch up or drag your feet in the outer zone of Floor 15. The bigger your team, the more noise you make, and the more danger you draw in. I’m not sure if it’s because monsters track sound and patrol more aggressively, or if the dungeon itself ramps up difficulty based on how strong your team is.”
NorthWind picked up on the key point right away.
“So we can’t take our time clearing the area here.”
“Exactly.” PineappleBeer nodded. “Also, don’t get greedy over loot chests. Some are guarded by tough monsters, and they’re not worth fighting for. But we have to find a basic map, or we’ll never figure out which way the central hall is.”
Hanna frowned. “We can’t cluster up too tight, but we’ve got sixty-eight people total. Splitting up would be super risky too.”
Pineapple Beer turned to look at Riley.
Riley didn’t hesitate at all. “We’re staying together.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to her.
“We all saw what happened when we got split up on Floor 13,” Riley said firmly. “Floor 15 is even more dangerous. If we break into small teams and run into high-level monsters, we won’t

even have time to call for backup.”
She paused, her tone steady and calm.

“The whole team stays united, but we’re switching up our advance style. Spread out front to back, no tight crowding. Send scouts ahead, but keep them within support range. Don’t drag out fights-avoid monsters if we can, and finish battles fast if we have to fight. Only open chests near our route, skip any that are too far off. Everyone, spend your Frost Tokens now if you can and boost your combat strength as much as possible.”
“Got it,” Hanna replied, ready to pass the word to the whole team.
Riley looked over her group.
Most of the sixty-eight members looked worn out, but their eyes were bright with hope.
They’d fought tooth and nail all the way from the snowfields. They’d survived run-ins with the Nightfall Guild, brutal fights against the WarWolf Guild, massive deep-layer monster hordes, and every deadly tunnel battle in this dungeon.
They’d felt scared many times.
But with safety so close in sight, everyone believed they’d make it out alive.
TartKing pulled out her last batch of desserts from her inventory and handed them out to everyone around her.
“Three pieces of bread and five candies each. No taking extra,” she said. “I’ll bake more for everyone once we’re back at the snowfield camp.”
LoneSparrow’s eyes lit up. “Got any cream ones?”
TartKing thought for a second. “Sure do.”
“What about fruit ones?”
“Those too.”
“The ones with sugar dust on top that crunch when you bite them-”
Hanna tapped the back of his head lightly. “Stop daydreaming. Let’s get there alive first.”
LoneSparrow popped a candy in his mouth right away. “Got it.”
Riley also took a candy.

She peeled the wrapper off. The candy was small and tasted faintly of honey. The sweet flavor on her tongue instantly brought back her dream from Floor 13.
The empty snowfield, with nothing but a wooden cabin, a campfire, and dancing northern lights.
Looking at her teammates all around her now, the loneliness from that dream faded completely away.
The group didn’t linger in the hall long. Once all the injured members finished their treatment, they got ready to move out again.
As always, Riley stepped through the portal first.
She was used to that blurry, disorienting teleport feeling. One second she felt weightless, and the next, her feet touched solid rocky ground.
She blinked and saw tons of familiar faces right around her. No one got separated.
TartKing stood close beside her. Bruce was just ahead to her left. PineappleBeer had barely finished landing on her right. Hanna, RedBean, NorthWind, Felix, and Nobody all spawned right after them.
As soon as they landed, RedBean started checking their pre-set teams to make sure no one was left behind.
