Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

After thinking for a moment, Lililuka said in a deep voice: "If we seize the opportunity but cannot even grab a key, it only means that the power of the dark faction is not much weaker than that of Loki's family. Loki's family may not be able to protect us."

"Captain, your situation will become extremely dangerous because of this."

Bell thought of this as well.

"It's not just Su, Bell. As a member of Hestia's family, you are the easiest target to be affected."

Welf reminded him: "Even if you succeed, as long as you can't completely eliminate the dark faction, your name will definitely be on their revenge list."

"But what we did was the right thing, right?"

Bell's eyes were clear.

"Of course, fighting against the dark faction is a just act in Orario."

"Then I have no choice but to do it. I don't want to feel guilty or ashamed about it, rather than being in danger. I may not be able to help the captain much right now, but I definitely don't want to become an obstacle for the captain in this matter."

"Lily is Master Bell's assistant. Master Bell's opinions are Lily's opinions."

Welf's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them. At this moment, he finally understood something.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Welf finally looked at Su Mo, "It seems that we have the same opinion."

Su Mo nodded and stood up on his knees. "Let's go. I'll have a good talk with Captain Finn. As for you, you have a powerful helper watching over you. Now is a rare time to challenge."

Bell said nothing, but his eyes looking at the Minotaur in the distance became more and more determined.

"...Captain Finn, can we talk?"

Finn smiled back, "Of course."

"My companion is on the verge of upgrading. This trip to explore the middle level is to challenge the Minotaur alone to upgrade his level. I hope Miss Sword Princess can help look after him."

"No problem, Ais..."

Hearing the sound, the blonde girl who had already killed all the monsters walked over quickly.

"They want to challenge the Minotaur alone. Please arrange it."

The blonde girl nodded, but looked at Bell with obvious surprise.

She had just taught him not long ago, so she naturally knew his strength. How long had it been, and he already had the strength to challenge the Minotaur?

Chapter 117: Request.

After watching several people go to challenge the Minotaur, Su Mo and Finn also started a conversation.

"Before we get into the main topic, I would like to ask a question: Captain Finn, the Loki clan is still preparing for an expedition, right? Your goal has always been the deep layer, why do you suddenly want to conquer the man-made maze?"

"Is this to make our decision clear?"

Su Mo did not deny it.

If Loki's family was really just improvising, he didn't want to join in.

"Indeed! We are still preparing for the expedition, not only to reach areas that have never been reached by our predecessors, but also to get rid of those weirdos who secretly attacked us. If we can find the Fallen Fairy, that would be even better."

Finn calmly explained the goal of his clan, "Of course, this is just a hope. Because of the interference of the monsters, the two recent expeditions of the Loki clan were not successful. In the last expedition, we wanted to lure those monsters out, but in the end, it failed."

"If we hadn't received any news from you at this time, we would have thought of other ways. But now, the news you sent us has given us a clearer understanding of the situation, and let us know that there is a more direct way to force them out than going on an expedition."

Hearing this, Su Mo seemed to be thinking, "So, preparing for the expedition is actually...?"

Really perceptive... Knowing what Su Mo was asking, Finn did not hide it any more. "Whether it's later or when conquering the man-made maze, these preparations will always be used. In this case, if these matters can also serve as a cover-up, then it would be the best thing."

"As expected, they are the two strongest clans in Orario. Before this, I never had any doubts about the Loki clan's preparations for the expedition."

“Just go with the flow.”

There was no arrogance in this "brave man". "Compared to the deeper threats, the explosive barrels under Orario are the first target that needs to be dealt with. This is the consensus of our clan."

Su Mo nodded. He understood the attitude of the Loki clan towards the man-made maze. He did not hesitate any longer. "I agree to help you open the door, but with my current ability, don't expect me to open the door instantly."

"We have anticipated this. You only need to open the door, and we will take care of the rest."

"That's good. Besides that, I have four more requests."

Su Mo raised four fingers, then bent two of them, "Two of them require the consent of the Loki family, one requires the consent of the Loki family and the guild, and I will go to the guild to discuss the other one myself."

"Please say."

Negotiating conditions is a sign of true sincerity.

"First, regardless of whether the artificial labyrinth incident can be successfully concluded, the protection of Hestia's family must be maintained for at least five months."

Five months... Finn thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded. "This time limit is within our acceptable range. You can continue."

"Secondly, we need training. Experience in fighting others, experience in defending against assassinations, and one-on-one combat training. In short, we need emergency training. I hope the Loki clan can help us with this."

Upon hearing this request, Finn immediately smiled, "No problem, come down to the 18th floor with us later, and the emergency training you requested can begin."

Neither of the two requests was excessive. In fact, compared to the first request, this request could be said to be reasonable. It was something that they should help with even if the other party didn't ask for it.

Seeing that both of his requests were granted, Su Mo raised his third finger, "Third, during the conquest of the artificial maze, all the metals that I dismantle and take out of the artificial maze will automatically belong to me."

If you take the risk to open the door, you must make some money.

"No wonder we need the guild's approval, but we have no objection to this matter."

The hardest metal - Olha steel is indeed valuable, but that is not their family's money.

"If Loki's family can help with storage and transportation, the ratio can be negotiated."

Hearing this, Finn was immediately moved.

We have gone on two expeditions and are still preparing for another one. The clan’s recent deficit has become so serious that the cadres have to come out to kill monsters to make money.

Thinking of the scene where Livilia held her forehead with her hand as she looked at the bill, Finn raised five fingers and said, "We want 50%."

"If you can ensure that the hardest metal you get in the end weighs more than 10,000 kilograms, I can agree with this ratio."

After assessing the weight of the door in his mind, Finn quickly smiled and said, "If you can remove ten thousand pounds, then there will be no problem on our side."

Su Mo raised his hand and extended it to the other party, "In that case, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."

Finn was stunned for a moment, but soon raised his hand, "Happy cooperation."

With a handshake, the cooperation was initially reached.

Taking the time to look up into the distance, Su Mo watched Bell walk towards his own battlefield.

"I remember he seemed to be a newcomer too?"

Su Mo nodded, but intentionally changed the subject, "How do you plan to conquer the man-made maze?"

"The primary goal is of course to seize the key..."

It was almost the same as Su Mo thought, or the first step to conquering a man-made maze - seizing the key, was almost the consensus of any rational person. In someone else's territory, the more keys that could open the door, the better.

Explore the artificial maze, collect relevant clues, seize the key, investigate the clues and number of new monsters in the artificial maze, clarify the identity and origin of the dark faction members, and catch Daedalus who is still building the artificial maze...

Finn talked about his plan. Of course, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a goal to take one step at a time rather than a plan.

But this is actually the best option. Without a true and detailed understanding of the man-made maze, it is a foolish act to make a detailed plan.

"I think you also need to prepare for a new type of monster with a potential ability of at least LV.6 or LV.7."

Su Mo really didn't want to make himself look like a prophet, but if he didn't say it now, he would be the one who got into trouble.

Finn's expression suddenly became serious. "How could the fallen immortal spirit be able to cultivate a monster of this level?"

"He may not be able to cultivate it, but what if it is his own clone?"

Finn narrowed his eyes and looked at the inheritor in front of him who was said to have the blood of a superior immortal.

I'm afraid Loki's guess was right. After Ais, there might really be a similar existence who walked out of the dungeon on his own.

But compared to the original Ais, he is undoubtedly more mature in age and mind, and knows more.

"Thanks for the reminder, we will be prepared."

The two sides talked for a while, and suddenly, a cry of surprise came from a distance.

The two men immediately stopped talking and focused their attention on the battlefield in the distance.

The huge stone axe fell to the ground with a thud from the bull's hand.

A battle between humans and bulls. After humans were suppressed by the bulls for a long time, a turning point finally came at this moment...

118

Chapter 118 Bullfighting.

I did it. I really can do it.

The most threatening giant axe fell to the ground. Bell did not give Bull any chance to pick it up with his other hand. He took the opportunity to swing the sword, continuously causing damage to Bull who could only block with his body, and forced the opponent to retreat as much as he could.

At this moment, Bell, sensing the dawn of victory, was extremely excited.

This is not just an inspiring effect; the body and mind seem to be leaping for joy and rejoicing, truly becoming one.

Things within sight are becoming more and more vivid.

From the Minotaur's expression to the movements of his muscles, everything began to become extremely clear at this moment.

The Minotaur's brute force was indeed threatening. If he was attacked from the front, even with a greatsword to block it, his fate would be the same as Mr. Welf's, and he would find it difficult to recover in a short time.

The Minotaur's skin and flesh were also extremely thick. Even if he cut through the thick cowhide, the layers of muscle made his sword seem like cutting through rubber, always sliding away and making it difficult to cause damage to deeper layers.

But, it seems that is all.

The attacks that were difficult to defend against head-on did not hit him, and the most threatening giant axe had been chopped down.

No matter how thick the flesh was, at least he could cut some of it, and the poison was already taking effect.

The Minotaur was retreating. The enemy who always tried to destroy everything with all his might was dodging and retreating, while also accumulating strength to counterattack... The steps under his feet, the amazing bulging muscles, and every movement of his huge body were conveying the timing and tendency of the attack.

"That's seeing through it!"

The enemy's movements were so stupid and chaotic that he could predict his next move.

Compared to the cat-girl he became his apprentice, the enemy before him was simply too clumsy.

There was no way such an attack could hit him—

Bell turned sideways to avoid the incoming fist and slashed the bull's belly diagonally with his sword from bottom to top.

Blood flew along with the sword, and the bull dodged in panic, but panic was a flaw, and the blow, which should have been exhausted, was forced to turn back, leaving another wound on the bull's thigh.

This is not an unbeatable opponent.

He can win!

"Flame lightning..."

The raging flames quickly continued the attack. At this moment, everyone watching the fight could clearly feel the reversing momentum.

"Come on, Master Bell!"

Lilyluka cheered excitedly, looking even more excited than Bell in the battle.

In this battle between humans and bulls, the white-haired boy is gradually taking control of the battle rhythm, and the balance of victory has really begun to tilt. Even she can see this.

"Ms. Ais, is he really LV.1?"

Lefiya was a little bit unbelievable.

Ais nodded silently to confirm.

The blonde girl's face always lacks emotion, but at this moment, her delicate golden eyes are looking at the scene in front of her with great seriousness.

"How long has he been an adventurer?"

In the back, Finn brought up the topic again. Seeing such a scene, it was impossible not to care.

"This kind of thing is easy to find out, there should be no need to hide it."

"More than a month."

Finn's expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his spear to his shoulder and nodded, "Do you Hestia clan members really have any skills that can quickly improve your strength?"

Su Mo wanted to explain, but after thinking it over, he gave a direct conclusion, "Even the Hestia clan will not be able to have such a fast-growing clan member in the future."
