I'm tied to Athena.

Ai Si, who had wind magic, killed the monsters on the street one by one at an extremely fast speed. On the other side, Li Yun, hiding in the shadows, shuttled through the alleys unscrupulously. However, his target was not the escaped monsters.

According to the news from Ganesha's family, only nine monsters escaped, but somewhere, he felt that there were more monsters.

The East Street area is located in the eastern part of the city. It is a very prosperous street. All the facilities managed by the guild, including the amphitheater, are concentrated in this area.

But in an alley off the main street, the further he went, the simpler the buildings became. Li Yun suddenly stopped in a small space surrounded by buildings.

The corner of the alley was cluttered with some dirty equipment, and in front of him was a single-family stone house.

Li Yun felt that there were many monsters in here... He walked forward and pulled the wooden door, thinking that the door would be locked, but he didn't expect that he just exerted force and pulled open the rusty iron door knocker.

With a slight friction sound, the door slowly opened.

There was nothing in the hut except for a spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the floor. Li Yun jumped down directly, and then he came to the dark underground - the sewer.

In the endless dark passage, there was a subtle sound of flowing water. Although it was pitch dark here, Li Yun was able to adapt to the environment here very well. The Gorgon Stone gave him great convenience.

"Are they coming?" Li Yun looked towards the corner of the passage. The monsters... were attacking here.

After noticing the monsters here, he rushed here without stopping. The noise made by the monsters on the street was already loud enough, and the monsters here couldn't go out and cause trouble again.

Chapter 53 Investigation of Underground Waterways

What appeared in front of Li Yun was a monster with a slender body and smooth skin tissue, just like a snake. However, it had no eyes or other organs on its head, and its yellow-green skin gave Li Yun a sense of déjà vu.

As if the monster had sensed Li Yun's appearance, it launched an attack in an instant.

Its whip-like body attacked from around the corner, as fast as lightning, unimaginable.

"Ding!" The yellow-green whip was blocked by the sickle. With the skill favored by the earth, Li Yun instantly grasped the positions of several monsters of the same kind hidden behind this monster.

"Get out of the way!" He clenched the sickle in his hand tightly and swept past Li Yun in an instant. The sharp blade cut off the monster's body and rushed to the corner at the same time.

He didn't look at the monster he had chopped off, but directly slashed at several monsters behind the corner.

LV2, or even LV3 monsters died in his hands in just a moment.

"These monsters..." Li Yun used his shadow to swallow the monsters' magic stones, and his eyes became serious.

In the battle just now, Li Yun felt that... this monster gave him the same feeling as the monsters he encountered on the 51st floor. This was not born naturally in the dungeon... it was artificially created!

Moreover, these monsters are as difficult to deal with as the worm monsters encountered on the 50th floor.

The worm monster will spit out corrosive liquid, corroding the adventurers' weapons and bodies, while this snake-like monster has thick skin and flesh. If Li Yun's sickle was not sharp, it would probably take more than one blow to kill them.

Why would the monsters that should be on the 50th floor appear here... The dungeon passages are watched by members of the guild every day, and there is no way these monsters could escape the guild's surveillance and come here.

And most importantly, Li Yun felt that these monsters were not so much hiding here as appearing from here... Yes, it was as if there was another entrance to the dungeon here!

"I'll leave it to you, Aisi...I have to investigate this place." Li Yun narrowed his eyes and continued to move forward.

After walking in the narrow passage for a while, Li Yun arrived at the wide main waterway with gurgling water.

This is a tubular tunnel built of stone, about six meters in diameter, with water running through the center, and steps and passages on both sides for people to move forward.

The sound of running water was so loud that it prevented people from having a conversation.

After all, this is the confluence of various branch waterways, so it is normal for the sound to be louder. Moreover, Li Yun also hopes that the sound here can be louder. In this way, it can cover up the sound of the battle just now and the sound of his footsteps.

But on the other hand, although the air in the sewer is indeed more turbid than on the ground, Li Yun, a person favored by the earth, is not used to the air here... Of course, there is no stench here that makes people pinch their noses.

If you look carefully, you can see several crystal columns emitting blue-purple light in the ditch of the narrow branch waterway. It looks like a fence.

It is one of the magic stone products that the labyrinth city of Orario is proud of. It can purify the sewage flowing through it and turn it into clean water.

In other words, it is a water purification device that can purify any water no matter how dirty it is. It is a purely natural and pollution-free purification device.

The purification fences installed in various places in the waterway prevent the sewer from being filled with stench and can also prevent pollution from the semi-salty lake in the southwest where the sewer leads. To a certain extent, the technology of these magical worlds can easily protect the environment.

Of course, maybe because this confluence is from the sea into the brackish lake, so there are monsters in the sewer. But the monsters outside are not strong, and they can be easily dealt with without the Liyun sickle.

Soon, an iron door that Li Yun had never seen before appeared in front of him.

It was an old double door with a heavy lock on it.

"Is this... an old underground sewer?" Li Yun could barely make out the blurry words on the metal plate mounted on the wall. It should be a sewer that was abandoned after the reconstruction of the Orario underground sewer.

However...with his excellent eyesight, Li Yun saw the marks left on the closed black lock - marks of being opened and locked several times by human hands.

The sickle was raised and then fell, with a crisp sound. Then, the heavy door lock was easily broken by him.

Li Yun pushed the door open and narrowed his eyes. The old waterway that had been abandoned was actually emitting phosphorescence - the magic stone lamp installed on the wall was on!

The area in front of the steps in front of the door, including the passages and waterways, were all soaked in water.

Looking at the dark rippling water like a river in the dark night, Li Yun rubbed his head in distress. Can't the people operating here consider the detectives who came here to explore after discovering the problem?

The water outside is at least purified, but I don’t know whether the water here is clean or not.

Fortunately, the water here was about the same depth as that of a shallow beach. Li Yun could only suppress the nausea in his heart and step into the ditch.

After walking upstream along the current for a while, Li Yun saw a "cave".

Something broke through the wall of the waterway from the other side, causing the water to flow down here and flow back and forth in this old sewer.

"Are they coming..." His eyes became sharp. In the deep darkness where the light could not reach, Li Yun felt the presence of several monsters.

There is no doubt that this huge hole appeared because it was pierced several times by some huge monster.

Li Yun walked up without hesitation, and then the feeling of the cold water disappeared and the feeling of being grounded returned.

"Is this... a water tank?"

The rectangular hall was lined with thick pillars like a colonnade, and countless stone pillars were arranged at equal distances to support the ceiling. This was a large water tank dominated by darkness.

However, this is also an abandoned site. At least, Li Yun did not see any stored water.

Then, from the depths of darkness, there was a sound of something sliding on the ground. Li Yun held the sickle and walked forward fearlessly.

In front of his sight, the huge object was moving.

Like the snake monsters without facial features before, the yellow-green body was exposed to Li Yun's sight. But it was a little different from the previous monsters. The slightly raised part of the monster in front of him was split...

It split apart like a flower blossoming, and in the middle of the open bud, the ring-shaped sharp teeth opened and closed, and transparent liquid flowed down the flesh-red mouth...

This is a Piranha plant monster!

Sensing Li Yun's presence, the monster raised its body and looked down at him from high above its head.

The battle is about to break out

PS: Okay, it’s over. Good night everyone.

Chapter 54: The Awakening of a Hero

"This is the location of West Street... Have we come to West Street from East Street..." Li Yun dragged the sickle with one hand, controlling his position.

To be precise, this is the underground of West Street. He followed the sewer to the location of West Street.

Li Yun has dealt with the carnivorous plant monster and is now looking for clues in the underground water tank.

When he came, he smelled a scent, a very faint scent. Since he was not a werewolf, he could not recognize who it was by smell.

However, through these clues, Li Yun was able to learn a piece of news - someone had arrived here earlier than him.

"The underground passages in Orario are interconnected. This may not be the only entrance. It is also possible to connect to another place from here..." With the skill of Earth's Favor, Li Yun did not plan to leave so soon. Moreover, from what he felt from above, Ai Si should have dealt with those monsters.

"Hmm?" Li Yun, who used his skills to imprint the underground passage in his mind, suddenly saw something that was not right....

He walked to a wall here and tapped it lightly with his fingers a few times, and a heavy sound was heard.

It's not hollow, but has a solid feel.

Is it my illusion... According to the feedback from the skill, there is a passage behind this wall, a road leading to another direction.

Was the underground sewer originally built like this, or was it built by someone else?

After a moment of silence, Li Yun thought that since he had come here, how could he not investigate it thoroughly? Moreover, this was an abandoned place, so it didn't matter even if he destroyed it.

Anyway, no one knew he had been to this place, and no one knew he was the one who destroyed it, so no one could hold him responsible.

Then with a loud bang, the wall was shattered.

Li Yun passed through the passage he had blasted open, and then entered a place with a very strong artificial atmosphere... A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. It seemed that his intuition was correct, and there was indeed a problem here!

Moving forward quickly along the passage, with the Earth's Favor at its maximum, Li Yun moved forward quickly while trying to capture any possible traces, however... he soon came to the end of the passage.

What appeared before his eyes was a staircase leading upwards.

There is a room above, just like the stone house. No one lives there, and there are no signs of people walking... The only thing worth noting is that the lock of this room is new.

"As expected, I guessed right. These are two passages..." Li Yun was fooled. The other party set up two entrances on East Street. The destination from here is the water tank, and the destination from that side is also the water tank.

This stone house, another stone house, plus a water tank, form a circular route.

But this does not mean that there was no gain. At the very least, Li Yun knew one thing - the enemy's action location was right here on East Street!

"This is indeed a good place to hide." Li Yun stood in front of the stone house, took in the situation of the surrounding streets, and then murmured in a low voice.

The passages are complicated, the houses are built randomly, and there are too many stairs. The multi-layered structure is like an underground city divided into several floors.

Daedalus Road, this is the name of this street, and it is also another maze in Orario.

This is a large residential area that has lost its order due to repeated zoning. The people living here are basically the urban poor.

Because this area is so complex and strange, it is said that once you accidentally enter it, you will never be able to get out.

This residential area, named after the designer who was responsible for organizing the section, is, in some ways, more like a dungeon than a city.

Retracting his skills, Li Yun rubbed his head and said, "Let's go back... This matter, as well as the sight in the arena... need to be investigated carefully."

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Suddenly, Li Yun heard a scream. This voice... sounded familiar. He ran in the direction where the sound came from, and then he saw a man, a beast, and a god on a narrow street.

"That's... Bell?" Li Yun was stunned. In front of the huge silver-white ape monster was Bell, a 14-year-old boy who was only 1.6 meters tall.

Li Yun, standing high on the roof, clearly saw that Bell was trembling. The hand holding the dagger was shaking, the feet supporting his body were shaking, and every cell in his body was emitting the emotion called fear.

On the battlefield, in a narrow passage, looking at the horrible monster right in front of him, Bell dug out the memories buried in his heart.

What was awakened in his mind was the Minotaur.

The figure that still lingers in his mind, like a demon that cannot be shaken off, gradually makes Bell's hands and feet cold.

The enemy in front of him was a monster that he could never deal with at the moment, just like the Minotaur that made him despair... No, Bell felt that he saw the Minotaur...

I want to escape, I want to escape, I want to escape so much. If I am alone... I will definitely be able to escape... As long as I let go, as long as I abandon the goddess behind me, as long as I am alone... I can escape.

The monster in front of him was so scary... The fear that emanated from deep within his heart was slowly eating away at his body.

But the more desperate he was, the stronger he became. In that desperate situation, his soul was shining.

Fear and duty, timidity and mission, opposing instincts and emotions are at war with each other.

An irresistible impulse can easily make the tiny sense of responsibility succumb.

But...even so...I am still a man!

The little bit of manly dignity he had left would not allow him to retreat.

Go! Go! Go!

Can’t help but go!

You can’t abandon a girl and run away!!!

"Ahhhhh!!!!" Bell roared with all his courage. Voice can inspire and motivate people. Faith can support and drive people. With the most ordinary wish, Bell broke through his fear.

"Lord God! Everything is fine now! Don't worry!" With his back to Hestia and holding an ordinary dagger, he recited the same words he said when he first met Li Yun.

In the maze, the figure who had saved him, with hair as dark as the night and a feeling of embracing everything, appeared before him.

He is not a hero, he is just an ordinary rookie adventurer of LV1. His skills are crude and his reactions are slow. He is an ordinary person that no one wants. But, even if he is an ordinary person, he has his own wishes and aspirations... I want to be him... to be someone like Li Yun!

So, how can we stand still?
