Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"I can't afford to offend you, so I can only hide."

"That's true."

Welf nodded, "I'm almost ready here, let's go to the workshop."

After just sitting down and drinking a glass of water, the two of them got up and returned to the workshop.

Inside the workshop, there was a piece of black cloth on the floor near the window, on which were placed a number of weapons - broadswords, chest armor, grappling hook arm guards, shoulder pads, knee pads, protective belts, knives, and even two magic swords.

"for you……"

Su Mo raised his hand to catch the holster that was thrown to him.

The leather case is very thin and can be rolled up at will. It has a ring. Of course, the real key is not the leather case, but the seven steel needles of different lengths inserted in the leather case.

The entire steel needle is bright silver, with only the two sharp ends showing a faint dark gold color.

There are seven steel needles, the longest of which is twelve or three centimeters long, and the shortest is only about four centimeters. Although they are of different lengths, their widths are roughly the same, all the size of a ballpoint pen refill.

"With mithril and fine gold as the main materials, and red copper as the auxiliary, this is about the best I can do now."

Infusing magic power, drawing magic elements——

A faint platinum glow quickly flashed on the seven steel needles. With just a slight tremor, the seven steel needles immediately broke away from the leather sheaths like arrows from a bow and quickly circled around Su Mo's body.

"Not bad, it's pretty good."

Mithril is a metal that is extremely friendly to magic, and refined gold is also not bad in guiding magic. The steel needle forged with these two as the main materials is more than one or two times stronger in guiding magic than the metals it previously controlled.

In addition, the weight is moderate, so it feels obviously more comfortable to control. Its lethality has not been tested, but its flight speed and flexibility have been taken to a whole new level.

At least it has reached the level where it can be used in battles of the same level.

"As long as you are satisfied... Oh, and this..."

Welf walked to the material rack, took down a metal ingot slightly smaller than his fist, and threw it to Su Mo again. "The cost price is 23.6 million faris in total. Remember to pay."

Catching the metal ingot that was obviously made of silver but was a bit dark, Su Mo had no objection to the price.

Not to mention the materials used for the seven steel needles, the value of the refined mithril in his hand alone is definitely worth more than tens of millions.

With a thought, the metal ingot suddenly melted like water, covering the entire palm, and finally quickly gathered into an arm guard, wrapped around the wrist...

Chapter 112: Team.

Underground city, twelfth floor——

They gathered in the morning and set out, and after entering the dungeon they began to adjust their movements along the way. After more than two hours, the four-man team finally stood in front of the 'first death line'.

"I'll tell you again, Bell, you are absolutely avant-garde, no matter which floor you reach."

Bell nodded in response.

The middle level was in front of him, and as he was about to step into it, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

"Welf, you will be the vanguard on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. If you cannot adapt to the intensity and speak out directly, I will naturally take over. In the dungeon, face is not as valuable as life."

"Don't worry. I won't take my life lightly until I see the Minotaur again."

"Lily..."

"Here I am."

He was carrying a large package, with a large sword and a spare dagger hanging on both sides of the backpack.

A small crossbow was equipped on the wrist. Under the fire-element woven cloak, there was not much trace of the two magic swords, and only the outline of a short staff was vaguely visible.

"Always pay attention to the rear, and give timely warnings if monsters appear. You can provide support but you must focus on maintaining your own strength, and then, keep close to the team."

"Lily understands."

"Our goal today is the fifteenth floor. Our main task is to complete the adaptation and running-in on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. If we can finally reach the fifteenth floor safely, we will be successful."

Minotaur mostly appears on the sixteenth floor. The number decreases as you go higher. The fifteenth floor is a suitable initial target.

"Now, let's go!"

Bell, as the vanguard, was the first to step into the passage, followed closely by Welf.

Going forward along the passage, after just a downhill section, traces of monsters appeared in the deep and long rock passage ahead.

The dagger and the short sword were unsheathed one after another, and Bell immediately quickened his pace. In order to fight more safely, what they had to do now was to reach the first cave room as soon as possible.

The 'ordinary white rabbit' is naturally no match for the 'fastest white rabbit'.

Bell took the lead in clearing the way. Occasionally, a few horned rabbits would come from the edge of the aisle, but they would soon die under Welf's sword.

The journey was smooth, except when we were about to reach the first cave room, we noticed that the enemy's group of horned rabbits had almost immediately blocked the entrance.

The warlike tribes continued to pour into the corridor from the cave, and Bell had to slow down his pace, wielding his dagger and sword to block the stone axes that were attacking from the front.

Normally at this time, he would choose to dodge first, but now as a vanguard he cannot do so.

The biggest responsibility of a midfielder is to protect the rear. If he dodges, he will undoubtedly pass the pressure to his teammates behind him.

After blocking the next wave of attacks, Bell rushed forward quickly and started with quick attack magic. Lightning-like flames exploded in the aisle, directly killing several unicorn rabbits and completely breaking up the formation of the unicorn rabbit group.

He approached quickly, cleared out the wounded, and used his own strength to further divide the rabbits and disrupt their formation.

"Great!"

With a compliment, Welf was not to be outdone, wielding his sword to protect the space behind Bell, and also becoming the second line of defense.

There were a lot of horned rabbits, but not many of them could break through the two lines of defense. Once a horned rabbit jumped over Welf, they would be greeted by a deadly white-gold light.

"scoff~"

The platinum-colored steel needle instantly pierced the rabbit's brain.

Perhaps because the steel needle is too sharp, the unicorn rabbit whose brain is pierced by the needle can often still take a few steps.

The lethality does need to be improved, but this method is indeed effective against opponents who are weaker than oneself... The new weapons and new capabilities have been clearly verified in actual combat, and Su Mo is naturally very satisfied with this.

The lethality will always increase as the control ability improves. Now the main thing is to determine the feasibility of such means.

Controlling the steel needle, Su Mo kept an eye on the situation ahead, but did not make any excessive moves.

It always takes adaptation to arrive at the middle level for the first time. Now these are the best whetstones, which is why he did not directly serve as a forward.

The rabbit herd was a bit crowded, but it couldn't stop the four-man team and was quickly cleared out.

A sword cut open the chest, and the tip of the sword easily picked out the magic stone... The battle came to an end, and everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

"How does it feel?"

Welf asked Bell while taking out the magic stone.

"Fortunately, the unicorn's frontal attack ability is not that strong, and 'agility' and 'dexterity' happen to be my strengths."

"My 'Dexterity' is OK, but my 'Agility' is only 'D+', which is a bit of a disadvantage."

"Are you sure you are 'D+'? Do you dare to report the value directly?"

Su Mo teased.

"D550, just tell me if this is the standard 'D+'."

"I see. We should still be a few points away from D550."

"Don't be ridiculous, it's just a standard 'D+'."

"Do you think Bell and Lily will believe it..."

Although they were talking to each other, their hands were not slow. After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the team continued to move forward.

Bell and Welf could handle scattered monsters. When there were many monsters, a central defender and three corner formations were also very stable. Occasionally, there would be mistakes, and different judgments and responses from different people, but in the end, they were not major mistakes that could not be made up for.

The team did not move very fast and only reached the middle of the thirteenth floor. They learned a lot of lessons and made a lot of conclusions, but the team never collapsed and needed to flee.

The progress of the running-in is quite good, and the level of tacit understanding is gradually improving with each battle.

The difference is not obvious from comparison to comparison, but if you compare the current battle with the initial battle, the difference is obvious.

"Rest for fifteen minutes."

After defeating all the monsters in the cave, Su Mo did not let them clean up the battlefield, but let the three of them rest and recover.

Bell's breathing was only a little rapid, but Welf's breathing was obviously louder.

After hearing these words, Welf, who was already used to this, immediately rested with his sword.

"Rest, Bell."

Seeing that Bell still wanted to help clean up the magic stones, Welf stopped him and said, "In the middle level, it is necessary to maintain your own state. Since Su said fifteen minutes, it means that even if a monster appears, he will deal with it... Lily, water."

"Yes, Lord Welf."

Lilyluka took out two water bottles, handed one to Welf, and then handed the other to Bell.

Bell took it, took a quick sip and returned it.

"Are you okay, Lily?"

"Lily is fine."

She didn't run very fast along the way, and the number of times she needed to take action was very few. She felt that her condition was maintained quite well.

After taking back the two water bottles, Lily was about to ask the last person if he needed water, but when she turned around, she saw someone picking up the magic stone with a sword in one hand and eating dried meat in the other.

"Has Lord Su Mo always been like this?"

Welf grinned. “How else do you think he could stay in the middle layer for three days? Eating regularly can help him recover faster. In terms of recovery ability, he is an absolute monster.”

Chapter 113: Sudden message.

"To be considered a 'monster', one must at least reach the 'second level' to qualify."

Su Mo responded, stopped collecting the magic stones, and slowly walked to an aisle.

Rabbits appeared, followed closely by lions and tigers.

The 'crown' state was not activated, and the feet did not move at all, but in less than thirty seconds, more than a dozen horned rabbits and the corpse of a lion and tiger fell at the entrance of the aisle. It was only one step away, but they were still unable to step into the cave.

Su Mo: LV.2.

力量:I61耐久:I87灵巧:I78敏捷:I91魔力:H106。

The increase in basic ability values is not that much, but compared to before the upgrade, this time reaching the middle level... well, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say "easy", but it does feel a bit less challenging.

“It feels like a big change!”

Su Mo himself could sense what was happening, and Welf, as a bystander, could naturally sense it to some extent. "Is the difference before and after the upgrade really that big? I heard from the Lord God that after the upgrade, you will feel like you have reached another level."

"That's about it. If the previous improvement is the accumulation of 'quantity', then 'upgrade' is the final supplement, the link that finally completes the qualitative change, and the sublimation of essence."

As Su Mo explained, he continued to pick out the magic stones.

Suddenly, his movements paused.

The sound of wolves barking came from a distance, and Su Mo turned and headed towards the direction of the sound.

"I'll go for a while..."

The voice was still echoing in the cave, but the person had disappeared.

Welf found it a bit strange. Normally at this time, his friend would not choose to take the initiative to attack.

But soon, the sound of a dog barking stopped his thoughts.

After ruthlessly smashing the magic stone, Su Mo took out the communication bead from the prop bag, "I'm in the dungeon now, what's the matter?"

"Someone wants to see you in the dungeon..."

"..."

Quickly returning to the cave, the newly born bloodthirsty bat had just spread its wings and flew less than two or three meters when it was pierced through the head by steel needles, ending its short life.

The three people who had picked up their weapons resumed their resting posture.

"You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
