Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

She opened her mouth, stammering without uttering a single word, and a suspicious blush crept onto her cheeks.

Rhodes found it amusing.

No wonder she can lead such a group of lively subordinates. It turns out that when she faces herself, she can instantly transform from a decisive and ruthless commander into an adorable and silly goose.

After being teased by their master, the adorable subordinates became even more motivated for some reason, clearing the map at an absurdly fast speed, and were almost at the entrance to the next floor in just a few minutes.

Rhodes had some recollection of the 24th floor and paid special attention to it along the way. Sure enough, in several extremely hidden corners, he discovered some traces of activities that appeared to be those of the Dark Faction.

He had his secret forces memorize these locations and dispatched a large swarm of purple moths to monitor the area, planning to block the bridge if they were discovered making any moves.

Rhodes even made a special trip to the 24th floor of the red crystal pillar, but found no trace of the fetus parasitizing the pearl.

Perhaps because it wasn't the right time yet, Rhodes simply left the purple moths there for long-term surveillance before continuing his exploration downwards.

The passageway connecting the 24th floor to the lower floors is a deep passageway completely covered by crystals.

The world below the 25th level has been called the New World since the appearance of the Great Hole.

At the end of the cave passage, azure light poured in, and the roar of the water crashing against the wall grew louder and louder.

The moment they stepped out of the cave, the sight before them made all the shadow soldiers hold their breath.

A magnificent waterfall, as if the Milky Way were hanging upside down, suddenly appeared before them!

Countless crystal-like peaks form steep valleys and cliffs on both sides of the waterfall, reflecting the misty water light.

Accompanied by dreamlike splashing water mist, flocks of half-human birds and singing birds soar freely in the wide open space, emitting high-pitched and melodious cries.

This is truly a stunning picture of a water park!

Rhodes stood on the edge of the cliff, unable to help but murmur to himself.

"Giant Cang Waterfall..."

This is a truly enormous waterfall that begins on the 25th floor.

Its width is estimated to be over 400 meters, and its height, looking down from here, is bottomless; a rough estimate would be at least 800 meters!

Directly above the waterfall, one can still vaguely see the remnants of the upper "tree maze"—extremely thick tree roots, each at least five meters in diameter, radiate outwards like writhing dragons, clinging tightly to the rock face.

Rod took out his phone and enthusiastically took a few photos. Then he took out a sign from the Divine Power Space and stuck it at the exit, writing "A spectacular view ahead" on it.

"Hmm, the scenery here is really nice. It would be perfect to build a house with a view on the cliff edge and then go fishing or something."

“I remember that if you go down to the 27th floor, there was a village of heretics there as well.”

After doing all this, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, bent down to look down, and made "tsk tsk" sounds of amazement.

Below the crystal cliff where he was standing was a huge, bottomless waterfall pool.

Given the height and the force of the water flow, even a well-equipped advanced adventurer would likely be smashed into mincemeat in an instant if they lost their footing and fell.

"After all, it seems that only Asphie can create flying magical artifacts in this world in the future, and it should still be a semi-finished product at present."

"Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be any real magic specifically for flight; at most, there are some methods for gliding for short periods or slowing down descent..."

This ridiculously large waterfall will extend all the way to the 27th floor.

Rhodes quietly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, his sharp gaze sweeping over the surging water curtain as he silently observed the situation inside the waterfall.

Unlike Goliath, which can only spawn on fixed floors, the two-headed dragon Amphispina can move at high speed throughout the water maze using the large waterfall that runs through several floors and the complex waterways.

Its ability value is estimated to be Lv.5, but if the advantage of the Water Maze is taken into account, its strength is comparable to Lv.6.

Therefore, theoretically, if you're lucky enough, you could encounter it as soon as you step onto the 25th floor.

"But I don't seem to see it... I remember it refreshes about once a month..."

Rhodes glanced back.

The cliff he was on was located at the southernmost end of the 25th floor, while the passage to the 26th floor was located in the southeast of the floor.

However, because the Giant Waterfall and the enormous cavern are located right in the center of the building, they can only be reached by walking clockwise from south to southeast.

Of course... that's just the "official" way.

Rhodes turned around, looked at the silent Shadow Legion bowing before him, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled faintly.

"Kill all the monsters here."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body leaned back slightly, and he plummeted rapidly towards the 27th floor!

A sharp, cold glint flashed in Eun-vi's scarlet eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, she lightly touched the edge of the cliff with her toes, and her figure transformed into a black streak of light that tore through the air, closely following Rod's footsteps!

"Follow!"

"Yes!!!"

Dozens of shadow soldiers let out a low, unified shout and followed their master and commander without hesitation, leaping into the abyss like black raindrops!

Just as Rhodes' figure swept past the middle of the waterfall—

Wow! ! !

A giant tentacle covered in sticky green liquid suddenly tore through the rushing water, like a giant python, with a shrill shriek that tore through the air, and swept towards Rhodes in mid-air with lightning speed!

However, the next second.

"Roar--!!!"

With a roar powerful enough to shatter the heavens, Kamish's enormous dragon shadow appeared out of nowhere!

The gaping maw, powerful enough to tear the sky apart, forcibly ripped out the giant octopus tentacle along with its body hidden behind the waterfall, and instantly bit it into a shower of flying flesh and blood!

Immediately afterwards, Kamish jerked his head around, and a destructive flame surged from deep within his throat.

The scorching dragon breath erupted like divine punishment, transforming into a torrent that was impossible to look at directly.

Dozens of strange fish that had just broken through the water's surface in an attempt to launch a sneak attack were evaporated into nothingness along with the rushing waterfall around them!

The shadow soldiers, of course, were not to be outdone!

Their figures drew graceful arcs in the air, landing precisely on the back of the flying dragon's shadow that had appeared out of nowhere.

They then transformed into streaks of black light, rushing off in all directions and unleashing a bloody massacre in this three-dimensional space!

A group of metallic blue crabs with highly developed pincers and shells harder than killer ants had just crawled out of a cave in the cliff and hadn't even had a chance to launch an attack when they were instantly turned into hedgehogs by the jet-black "483" short spears that fell from the sky!

Before their corpses could even fall, they were dragged into the shadows by countless dark arms extending from the rock wall, waiting for Rhode to transform them into new power!

A standard funeral, retrieval, and resurrection process is completed seamlessly.

Just as Rhodes was about to plunge into the bottom of the deepest pool...

A giant serpent opened its hideous and terrifying maw and burst out from under the water without warning, engulfing Rhodes' body almost as soon as it opened its blood-red mouth.

The Great Water Serpent is a large monster with light green scales, reaching up to ten meters in length. Its enormous fins on either side of its head make it look somewhat like a dragon.

However, Rhodes merely glanced at it calmly.

"Get out of the way."

With his hands gently gripping the two Kamish Fury swords, Rhodes' body transformed into a rapidly spinning death top in mid-air.

He brandished his twin swords like a drill, spiraling downwards along the body of the giant water snake as it lunged at him.

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!*

The sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh filled the air.

The moment Rhodes fell into the water, the giant water serpent that had been suspended in mid-air... its body... disintegrated with a crash.

Countless chunks of flesh, mixed with entrails and blood, rained down like a torrential downpour of blood and flesh, crashing back into the pool.

The intense stench of blood was like a bomb thrown into the water, instantly igniting the entire pool.

The monster feast has arrived!

The first to arrive were a group of ugly mermaids.

Their hair was as dull and lifeless as withered seaweed, their pale eyes were devoid of any vitality, and their bluish-white skin was covered with repulsive spots.

Their appearance was so different from those intelligent heretics that even the most compassionate saint would not feel the slightest pity upon seeing them.

One of the mermaids moved the fastest. With a sharp cry, it slashed through the water with its crystal spear, thrusting towards Rhodes like an arrow, its speed as fast as a streak of light!

Rhodes gently squinted his eyes in the water.

In their home turf, these aquatic monsters would likely be at least one level stronger than they are now.

Despite this being his first time fighting underwater, Rhodes' movements were completely fluid.

With a slight sway of his body, he seemed to merge into the flow of water, narrowly avoiding the opponent's fatal attack.

Amidst the astonished gaze of the monstrous mermaid, Rhodes expressionlessly brushed past it, slashing with his sword in the backhand.

puff!

The head and body separate automatically.

The ugly head was swept away into the distance by the rushing water.

Upon seeing this, the other mermaid let out an angry and high-pitched shriek, weaving an eerie song of destruction in an attempt to bewitch Rhodes.

But the next moment, a black light flashed, and its throat was mercilessly pierced.

It stared wide-eyed, bloodshot at the creature before it, a creature several times more beautiful than itself, seemingly unable to comprehend why it had attacked it.

Consciousness traversed the endless darkness for a moment, and when it awoke again...

In the mind of the beautiful mermaid who had been reshaped, only one thought remained.

—For Lord Rhodes, kill all these eyesore monsters!

She let out a delicate shout and, without hesitation, turned around with her companions, charging fiercely towards the former kin who were constantly being attracted!

In the turbulent water, dozens of half-fish-men covered in blue scales charged forward, wielding hammers and spears made from the lower layer of natural crystal.

High in the sky, the ugly-looking singing bird and the half-human bird circled, their sonic attacks like invisible blades, disturbing the mind, and their feathers were like arrows!

Upon landing, hundreds of bullet-like swallows transformed into streaks of silver light, launching suicidal attacks from all directions with unwavering courage!

The crystal sea urchin rolled at high speed on the ground, shredding the metallic blue crabs that blocked its way into countless fragments.

Amidst the thick fog of blood and flesh, they charged towards Rhodes at breakneck speed without stopping!

Even in mid-air, dozens of rare species of vortex damselfish, each two meters long and originally only found in specific waters, hovered in the air, ignoring gravity, and pursued and intercepted Rhodes!

Faced alone with such an epic army of monsters, an ordinary adventurer would instinctively flee in panic.

However, Rhodes merely smiled faintly and gripped his twin swords, his dark eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Although I can wipe you all out in an instant, my attributes haven't reached their current limit yet, so I'll use you to train!"

...

ten minutes later.

The 27th floor was quiet and peaceful, as if no battle had ever taken place.

Rod was sitting leisurely on a water beast horse (Kelpie) with a beautiful, azure mane that swayed back and forth.

At this moment, he was holding a small, cat-shaped animal by the scruff of its neck, looking at the little thing in his hand, which was trying so hard to be cute, with a bit of speechlessness.

"You mean you didn't come to attack me willingly?"

"Coo-choo!"

The little beast called Cabonkel nodded vigorously, its big, watery eyes staring pitifully at Rhodes, the pleading in its eyes almost overflowing.

It has fluffy emerald green fur and a small, adorable body like a kitten.

What is most striking is the ruby-like protrusion on its forehead, which is now filled with a beautiful, magical glow.

This is none other than the rare mythical beast, Kabonkel, which is as famous as the unicorn and is rarely seen.

Even among monsters, Cabonkel is renowned for his exceptional magical power.
