Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Liu thought for a while.

"You've just started exploring the middle floor and you've fallen to the seventeenth floor. This is not something a cautious and experienced adventurer would do. If you can help this time, you can take care of the child... Ryu, he can't always be so lucky."

These words were like a fatal blow, causing the elf girl to immediately return to the inner room.

"Alright meow!"

Chloe clapped her hands and pulled Bell's gaze back, "Your captain will be fine. Now, you should start training, meow~"

The moment he finished speaking, Bell didn't have time to say anything else before his body flew out sideways.

Although both were actual combat training, compared to Ryu, Chloe's teaching clearly included a lesson on 'how to deal with assassins'.

Of course, in Chloe's words, "If a child is too naive and doesn't have a good reaction speed, it can be very dangerous~"

Can you believe that this book has only appeared on PC today?

I really want to know how you found this book in the APP without even a recommendation. Please tell me.

Chapter 73: Eighteenth Floor

Eighteenth floor.

Su Mo was walking in the woods, holding a bead in his hand.

This underground forest has tall and straight trees with wide spacing between trees. Compared with many forests in my memory, the forest here clearly has a stronger sense of openness.

In the forest there grow crystal clear crystals that refract blue light, which is naturally the characteristic of the dungeon.

Looking around, there are small crystals that look like wild flowers and weeds, medium-sized crystals that look like giant swords, and huge crystals that look like huge blooming flowers that can completely swallow a person. All kinds of blue crystals are scattered throughout the forest.

In the peaceful and silent forest, countless crystals reflect the fragmented sunlight, as if rendering the entire forest into a beautiful light blue scene, full of psychedelic and mysterious colors.

Perhaps because the eighteenth floor was a safe floor where no monsters would spawn, Su Mo was able to relax for the first time in the dungeon and calm down to appreciate the unique scenery of the dungeon.

"Yes, I am sure I shattered its magic stone, but it just didn't die."

Su Mo spoke while admiring the scenery, and the person he was talking to was naturally the original owner of the communication magic device in his hand - Fels.

When exploring the middle level, how can you not bring this prop that can call for help?

Last night, he used this magic tool to transmit his information back so as not to make Hestia and the others worry too much.

However, after this connection, the sage, knowing that he had reached the eighteenth floor, gave him a task - to find the passage connecting the eighteenth floor to the artificial maze.

Who made him say in person that there must be a passage connecting to the artificial maze on the eighteenth floor?

As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who takes someone's money will be obliged to return the favor. It was impossible to say no, so Su Mo could only walk around based on the vague memories in his mind, trying his luck, to see if he could really hit upon some clues.

"It has wisdom and can speak. Do you think it is heresy?"

"It can command the unicorn. Can the heretic who is rejected by monsters lead monsters?" Su Mo asked with a chuckle.

"A new type of monster? You just said you have its drops."

"Yes, it's its horn."

Su Mo glanced at the bloody horn that was tucked around his waist like a dagger, paused, and added, "I feel that the fact that it was able to survive the shattering of the magic stone has a lot to do with this horn."

"Then give it to me. If everything is as you say, it must be of great research value."

"Okay! As usual, cabinet number 63. But after I give you the thing, you have to do a 'verification' for me. It should be the source of the horned rabbit mutation on the thirteenth floor that day."

It is called 'verification', but it is actually 'proof'.

Find out the source of the mutation. This kind of task will be posted on the notice board for a long time, and the reward is not low.

"If it is really as you said, the guild will naturally verify it. What else do you want?"

The boss is still as generous as ever... Su Mo chuckled and replied: "After you finish your research, just tell me how much debt you can forgive."

"it is good."

The conversation came to an end, but soon, Fels's voice came out from the communication bead again, "Can you find it?"

Su Mo naturally knew what the other party was asking, and replied: "I have walked around roughly, and now I can only confirm that the direction should be in the east. There is no further discovery for the time being."

Obviously, a memory that is too vague is unreliable even if there is a real scene for comparison. After digging through the memory and trying hard to recall it, it is already the limit to be able to determine a location based on the scenery and topography.

However, after this walk, he also confirmed one thing - the eighteenth floor was not where he first woke up.

"Eastern...can we further locate the location?"

"Give me the key and I can."

Su Mo still remembered that the key could sense the door. Because the so-called "key" was made from the eyeballs of Daedalus from past generations. The cursed bloodline has not been able to get rid of the curse of its ancestors until today, and is deeply entangled with the man-made maze.

As someone who is also trapped in the maze, I can empathize with them to some extent.

"..."

Fehr was suddenly speechless.

"If you're not afraid of alerting the enemy, you can try to have someone knock on the stone walls near the edge. Maybe you'll find something. Of course, the key is important. Without the key, you'll be stuck with walls and doors blocking your way."

Casting a wide net is also a way, but Su Mo will not try it himself.

Nothing else, just too weak.

"We'll get the key first."

It's not 'I', it's 'we'... Su Mo didn't want to delve into it. "I'll keep walking around and see. I'll let you know if I find anything new."

"Don't leak the news of the new type of monster for now."

"Row."

With these brief words, the conversation officially came to an end.

Su Mo put the communication bead back into the package and walked in the direction where the sound of water came from.

Soon, people appeared beside the stream.

He took off his shoes, lifted up the trouser legs that were severely damaged, washed his face, cleaned his hands and feet, and took a close look at the injuries.

He needs an adventure.

He needs a worthwhile challenge.

Because this can highlight the value of the second life.

If there had not been an adventure or a difficult challenge, it might have quickly made him, who was originally exhausted, recover at some point and would not have been able to fully play his role.

He needs the experience of his superiors, but he needs to improve his own strength quickly. It is impossible for him to stay in the bottleneck.

In a sense, it was his luck to meet the Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit, but it was not the case that he was trapped in a dead corner by a group of unicorn rabbits.

If he had not fallen directly to the seventeenth floor yesterday where there was no floor master and no other monsters spawned, but instead fell to the sixteenth floor, Su Mo would not be sure whether he could reach the eighteenth floor.

There were no visible wounds on his body. The effect of the panacea was still quite significant, but this appearance...

Back on the surface, this tattered outfit must be replaced with a new one.

After a simple wash, Su Mo quickly returned to the shore.

Although the eighteenth floor is relatively safe and does not produce monsters, it is not completely free of monsters. Rather than being a safe floor for humans, this floor belongs to monsters.

Without wandering around any further, Su Mo began to return to the adventurer's base on the eighteenth floor.

Most of the props and potions he had had had been used up, and his own condition was not good. He still had a lot of things to bring with him. Returning to the surface alone was obviously not a good option. He needed to find a large group to return to the surface.

If it really doesn't work, then you can only pay to hire someone.

Yesterday I picked up some equipment 'dropped' by a group of horned rabbits, and sold them for quite a bit of money.

As he was thinking about this, he quickened his pace unconsciously. In less than ten minutes, the adventurer's base - Rivera was right in front of him.

Rivera was built around the central giant tree. Initially, it was just a temporary base for adventurers aiming for the "lower level". However, as time went on, adventurers' exploration of the dungeon deepened step by step, and the original temporary base gradually developed into a settlement of the size of a small town.

Su Mo stayed here last night.

I have to say that the hotels here are really expensive, and the service and environment are totally inconsistent with the price.

Only he made a lot of money yesterday. Under normal circumstances, even if he sold all the materials he harvested that day, he still couldn't make up enough for a day's accommodation. Of course, many stores in Rivera would not offer the same purchase price as the surface price. It was common to lower the price by 10% or 20%, and the black spots would even ask for more.

But here, there is also a little surprise.

All the shops here buy and sell magic stones. It is normal to buy magic stones at a low price, but they actually dare to sell them, which makes Su Mo feel a little surprised.

Even if you don't use it for the time being, it's always good to have another channel to obtain magic stones.

"Whoosh~"

Near the town gate, a stone shot towards him at high speed made Su Mo tense up suddenly.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Please vote. I hope you will read more tomorrow.

It is really important to read it again. This is probably one of the few times this book can be recommended.

Chapter 74 Encounter

Su Mo paused and turned his head to avoid the stone, then immediately looked in the direction where the stone came from.

The next moment, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his sharp eyes, and the vigilance quickly faded away.

Because what appeared in his sight was an elf girl wearing a green cloak and dressed as an adventurer. When she saw him looking at her, she jumped down from the tree and disappeared behind the tree.

The destination was immediately changed, and Su Mo trotted behind the tree.

"…Ms. Liu!"

Liu carefully looked at the person who arrived.

His clothes were badly torn, even with a cut on his chest, and it was obvious that he must have experienced a very fierce battle. However, his breathing was steady, and there was nothing unusual in his movements, so even if he was injured, it should not be serious.

"I just happened to come here for something and will be returning to the surface soon. Do you want to come with me?"

The elf girl spoke in a cold voice, without any ups and downs in her tone, as if she was just casually greeting an acquaintance on the street.

But if you think about it, you will know that if it is really "casual", how can two people who don't know where each other is in advance easily meet each other.

"Of course!"

"Any other luggage?"

"Yes." Su Mo nodded.

"Go get it. I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

Su Mo quickly went to the town of Rivera, put on his newly purchased package, and hurried back.

It took only five or six minutes for Su Mo to return to Miss Elf, but...

"…You became a supporter?"

Liu looked at the large package on Su Mo's back, his eyes somewhat frozen.

The big package was almost half as tall as Su Mo, and at least twice as wide. There were even several weapons tied on both sides of the package. It looked like a supporter.

"No, I just picked up a lot of things yesterday."

A lot of objects fell down as the inner room collapsed yesterday, and no monsters spawned on the seventeenth floor. With the help of the invisibility cloak, he went back and forth several times and collected some items bit by bit.

Of course, the magic stone turned into ashes directly, and he didn't see the blood food or anything like that. He also threw some sundries, materials, weapons and equipment of low value to several merchants last night. The ones he was carrying now were the ones he was reluctant to sell here.

Hearing this, Liu looked at the full package again.

"...Let's go!"

She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and finally the elf lady only uttered two words.

Leaving the eighteenth floor one after the other, the two quickly entered the seventeenth floor.

Just like yesterday, the main floor of the seventeenth floor still hadn't been refreshed. The empty hall where the lonely king of the maze was supposed to be had no trace of monsters. It was terribly quiet and lonely.

Su Mo's eyes subconsciously turned to the 'Wall of Sighs' on the left.

Unlike the other chaotically shaped cave rooms on the middle level, the hall where the owner of the floor is located is quite regular, presenting a flat rectangular shape. However, the other walls are formed of rough rocks, but the structural material of this huge wall is completely different.

It is crystal clear all over, like dim crystal glass without any traces of bumps or gaps. It is huge, flat, and reflects light. It is beautiful yet has an extremely unnatural and strange feeling. This is a wall that will amaze people no matter how many times they look at it.

This is the 'Wall of Sighs' that will give birth to only one specific monster, the Lord of the Cave - the Lonely Lord of the Labyrinth.
