Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

After the small-scale 'monster riot' caused by the inexperience of the expedition's new members was successfully resolved and the remaining enemy units in the surrounding area were cleared out, Finn gave the order, and the group, having finished cleaning up the battlefield, gradually unfolded their maze exploration formation, which resembled stars surrounding the moon.

Along the way, the group of dozens of people were quite lucky and did not encounter any more troublesome 'abnormal situations'.

As for the minor monster encounters... without a doubt, because they had just personally experienced a major event, each team was much more adept at handling them.

This is the benefit that can be truly realized as relevant experience accumulates.

That's how the Loki Familia developed step by step to where it is now.

In short, because our team's progress wasn't significantly slowed down, so far...

"Next up is the '22nd floor'."

On the expedition side, the dozens of people would gather together whenever they reached a 'staircase'.

At this point, the 'supporters' in the team who are responsible for logistics will begin their work.

Or replace the weapons and armor that are too badly damaged on the soldiers in each squad.

Or they could distribute potions to allow the mages to slowly replenish their depleted magic power.

Or to help treat wounds.

...and so on.

During this time, 'Line Yarushe' from Ling Shu's team will also travel among the expedition team as a 'healer'.

Incidentally, those who can participate in the 'Expedition' must have a minimum Grace level of Lv.2.

Even those members who were 'temporarily reassigned as supporters' were the same.

Because ordinary people, and even Lv.1 adventurers, simply cannot withstand the pressure of traveling for such a long time.

Even with exceptional physical strength, if their basic abilities are inadequate, they won't be able to escape, let alone dodge, in an emergency.

Even so, most of the Lv.2 members, who were only responsible for pushing carts to transport supplies and did not have to fight against various monsters themselves, were exhausted.

On the contrary, it was Linne who was exceptionally assigned to the combat team because of her identity as a 'healer'...

"It's so relaxing to be with Ying."

"Yes, Miss Ying's brother also helped us a lot."

"They took care of most of the monsters directly."

“We don’t need any ‘spellcasting’ support at all.”

"Yes, they're all amazing!"

……

At the staircase leading to the '22nd floor', Lefia, who was talking quietly with Linne, was currently helping the latter with logistics because she wasn't under much personal pressure.

This young girl, although her mindset is not yet fully developed, is not lazy. She is always wholeheartedly thinking about helping her teammates, which makes her quite likable.

and……

"If she's only facing monsters in the 'middle' zone, she can barely manage to fight them."

"Although I sometimes stand still and tremble all over, at least I can successfully chant magic spells."

Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying stood not far away, both of them being combatants and able to rest at this moment.

Taking advantage of this lull, Finn, Grace, and Riveria, who regarded Lefia as her 'successor,' all gathered around the former two, asking with great concern about the younger generation about the specific details of the Yamabuki Fairy's performance when she fought the enemy earlier.

The sentence above is a summary that he and she made during their previous journey.

Lefia, the "Thousand-Spell Elf" who could unleash powerful Lv.5 level magic at only Lv.3, is also striving and improving in her own way.

According to Ling Shu's prediction...

"Looks like I won't have a chance to use 'Genshin Impact' to save the day... Hmm, that's a good thing."

He thought to himself, "But if we wait until tomorrow to enter the 'lower level' area..."

Ling Shu believed that with Finn's high intelligence, he would definitely take advantage of the time while they were setting up camp on the '24th floor' tonight to make some temporary adjustments based on the battle situation and performance of each squad during the day.

Putting everything else aside, Linne definitely can't keep following the two of them recklessly.

If conditions permit, it would be best for Rafia to travel with the 'middle convoy' as well.

Yes, in Ling Shu's own opinion, he and Ying are still most efficient when they work alone.

After all, without the fragile backline members who only have one life, he and she can play more freely and become more reckless.

On this basis, the Gemini Travelers are still able to perfectly fulfill their vigilance duties.

because……

"'Genshin Impact Descent' is not just a magic spell used specifically to save the day."

Taking the initiative is the only way to increase Ling Shu's overall gains.

On the next '22nd floor', there is a place that is perfect for Ling Shu to 'reap' some rewards.

and so……

"Finn."

With the three giants present, Ling Shu (Kong) took the initiative to suggest, "If we discover the Bloody Beehive after entering the 22nd floor, let Ying and I handle it."

Hearing him say that...

"Although you and Ying are currently only Lv.2, your [basic ability] values ​​are clearly not low, and you are also proficient in combined attack techniques like the [Four Flame Warriors]. Your combat strength is already comparable to... or even surpasses most Lv.3s..."

Finn didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked, "But, putting aside the fact that the 'Bloody Hive' might not even appear on our path, if we do encounter it... are you confident you can handle it?"

"Just the two of you? You don't need anyone else's help?"

He wasn't worried about whether doing this would waste time; he was just confirming whether Kong and Ying could handle it.

after all……

The 'Bloody Hive' is a special structure that is shaped like a pine cone but is incredibly large.

It cannot be considered an ordinary 'monster' in essence.

Because the 'deadly wasps' produced by it are the individuals that are classified as 'monsters'.

However, these deadly wasps will continue to spawn as long as their hatching point, the 'Bloody Hive,' remains intact, making them virtually impossible to eradicate...

Obviously, when Ling Shu saw this thing in the information provided by the 'guild', he knew it was perfect for him to get his hands on.

A place that produces monsters infinitely and at extremely high density... What is this?

"The best place to grind experience points."

Honestly, if the expedition team didn't have to continue down the road, and if Ling Shu himself didn't want to go deeper to 'explore the map' and familiarize himself with the route, he would have preferred to stay on 'floor 22' and eat his fill.

But now...

"We can solve it."

Beside her, Ying, who had received Ling Shu's secret instruction, put her hands on her hips, raised her chin slightly, and smiled confidently as she replied, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Kong and my 'other magic' yet."

"Now, just keep a close eye on us, shall we?"

Chapter Forty-Seven: Praise My Arrival...

It just goes to show that sometimes plans really can't keep up with changes.

Furthermore, when certain 'accidents' happen abruptly, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

today……

"I'm pretty lucky."

“Yeah, we almost gave up hope of encountering the ‘Bloody Hive’ just now.”

"Unexpectedly, a new path opened up before us."

The location is the last floor of the 'middle' area of ​​the underground city—the 24th floor.

Well, strictly speaking, it's somewhere along a tree-lined path about a hundred meters ahead of the stairs leading to the '25th floor'.

Ahead lies the Loki Familia's destination for tonight's expedition.

According to Finn's itinerary, their group of several dozen people would camp inside the "Great Tree Hole," a place frequently used by adventurers, near the staircase leading to the "lower" area.

But now, that place is not suitable for living in at all.

Because a huge creature has been hatched inside it by the underground city.

It was precisely the 'Bloody Beehive' that Ling Shu had been longing to steal.

Previously, when the expedition team passed through the 22nd and 23rd floors without incident, he was almost ready to give up on the idea.

but now……

"The current situation is a mixed bag, I'd say."

When the expedition team stopped a hundred meters away from the 'Great Tree Hollow', Ling Shu (Kong), who had come to Finn's side after his team regrouped and reassembled, calmly analyzed: "The good news is that my previous expectations have not been disappointed."

"But the bad news is: this 'bloody beehive' happens to be inside the 'big tree hole'..."

Hearing him say that...

"Indeed, the space inside the 'Big Tree Hole' is not large. It's barely enough for people to live in, but if you go in to fight... you might not be able to move freely."

Finn looked at Ling Shu (empty) and asked, "Do you still stick to your previous idea?"

In this hero's view, the 'Bloody Hive' was not a huge threat that two Lv.2 players could solve.

Even switching to a higher-value Lv.3 would be difficult.

Not to mention, they're now at a disadvantage even in terms of the terrain...

"Let me and Ying try it first."

Ling Shu (empty) did not directly answer Finn's question.

Because the latter had no idea that the bad news he mentioned had nothing to do with 'terrain'.

But...

"This thing just happened to hatch inside the 'Big Tree Hole,' so the expedition team will have to camp here tonight... Tsk, we can't keep grinding experience anymore."
