"hmm...? oh nice! the pelt on this fox is mana contaminated. this will sell well after being skinned, add on the boost in prices thanks to thunderclap...I haven't made this much easy money in a while."

"Look at the Green poison party, they found a secret in the dungeon where the dungeon core set up mana reserves to feed its monsters on the higher floors. These storages will sell high on their own to mages, even some poor arch-mages will take a second look at this."

"Dang, but the biggest money maker is obviously the clockworks party. they made a wall of steel armor and shields and charged up ahead to harvest all the fox bodies along the way."

"Nothing we can do about it, those 17 reached tier 3 and can harvest everything in their way. it looks so easy that it reminds me of harvesting wheat back home."

"Well we got to catch up! leave the scrapes to others after us. our goal is get low as possible on the floor and get some mana."

"For some reason the mana scientist keep repeating himself."

"Hell of I know, Just the same 'something's wrong' or 'this can't be right' over and over in his testing."

"Well...that complicated stuff is not for us. just give me a sword and show me where I cut!"

"Lets go! the end of the dungeon should be near."

...

While the parties are clearing the 7th floor. The Dungeon Core wasn't lazing about, the Dungeon core gathered all the monsters from floor 99 to 20 long ago when they entered the 2nd floor. But the time it takes to gather and then set off is too long and the parties will become suspicious.

So the sacrifice of the foxes from floor 1 to floor 19 are needed to trick them deeper into the dungeon. Except for a few special ones, every fox is on call and moving to floor 20.

...

"this dungeon is bigger then I thought! I am getting a bit tired from all this. I will call it and head back to cash in when we hit floor 20."

"You and me both buddy, although it's a shame we can't harvest some mana because the Mana scientist went crazy and left with Lucas and Kate. Those cowards got convinced by the crazy mana scientist all these floors are bait and left with murals."

"I know right? how can a dungeon use its own monsters and floors as bait."

"But thankfully everyone ignored him and kept going."

"I don't know, those 3 mysterious elementals seemed to be spooked away...probably weak cowards as well."

"alright, alright. stop talking so much and kill more! The green poison party is ahead of everyone and is about to enter the next floor. kill these and follow up!"

"Level 19 here we come!"

...

"wha..."

"heh...were dead."

"Impossible!"

"How can the dungeon still be 'Error, Error'! this goes all the way to 1,000 and 10!"

At the entrance of floor 20, foxes appeared.

Nothing new, several parties have been fighting foxes all day now.

but...

Besides the quantity, an amount that exceeds father then the eye can see if viewed from the top of a mountain.

The quality is there too.

fire foxes, ice foxes, basically every elemental fox basically was there... not to mention the unique ones like star cloud foxes, luck foxes, 9 tailed foxes, planetary foxes, starlight foxes, sun foxes, space foxes, time foxes, void foxes, blackhole foxes, etc.

...

"well then, has the information been sent back?"

"yup."

"So...charge like dead men?"

"...Charge like dead men! sing our battle cry!"

"LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JENKINS!"x10

and so...the 10 members of the Leeroy Jenkins party charged headfirst into the enemy...with some chicken.
