The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

However, tortoise shell bondage is generally used to bind the body, not the limbs, so it must be combined with other methods to assist in binding the hands and feet.

The auxiliary method used by Wanxing is to tie up one foot with the hands behind the back. This method is less painful and has a stronger sense of restraint.

He first performed a back-high-hand small-hand tie, which is an advanced rope-tying technique. Because Noranti is very flexible, the tied-up look is very artistic.

Then Wanxing led out a rope from the big knot behind Nolandi, hung up his upper body, and controlled the length of the rope so that Nolandi could just lift his feet.

Take another short rope, wrap the two ends around the middle of the thigh and the calf near the ankle respectively, leaving about one meter long between the two rope loops as a tether. Pull the tether until Noranti's leg is completely lifted up and then secure it, leaving Noranti with only one leg barely standing on the ground.

Nolandi, who was tied up on one leg, could just stand, but it was difficult for her to maintain her center of gravity, and she felt like she would fall if she wasn't careful, so she often had to adjust her center of gravity with difficulty.

In short, after Wanxing's unremitting efforts, Noranti's indomitable will was finally aroused.

Taking advantage of her unyielding state, Wan Xing quickly asked her to repeat the words "Gu, kill me!" and finally successfully awakened her talent [Steel Body]!

In fact, it was not just Davilia and Norlandi. Wanxing did not call Claire either.

The reason is the same. Claires needs time to practice, and she now has a large amount of joyful divine power, which can also speed up her practice and breakthrough.

……

Wanxing, who brought Luo Ai'er and Xing Yi to the Russell Maze, headed straight for the 59th floor.

With Wanxing's current strength, he can easily kill monsters on the 59th floor, but he is not sure about conquering the 60th floor.

After Xingyi could transform into a true dragon, his monster-killing efficiency had indeed increased significantly—a single claw strike or a flick of his tail could inflict massive damage. Combined with his 360-degree, all-encompassing [Multiple Dragon Breaths] and his talent [Devouring], he could sweep through the monsters on the th floor with overwhelming force.

Wanxing was not weak at all. He originally possessed the power of [Chanting of Abandonment], and his output was already explosive through the instant casting of heroic-level fire magic.

Compared with Xingyi, it only lacks strong defense and fast movement ability.

Now that he has newly acquired the inheritance of the God of Earth, the two powers of [Traveling Across the Earth] and [Protecting the Earth] can completely make up for his shortcomings.

In short, Wanxing and Xingyi can easily clear the 59th floor of Russell Maze alone.

Although Luo Ai'er cannot solo, occasionally releasing a wind-type wide-area lethal magic to lure monsters can also improve Wanxing's leveling efficiency.

Xingyi frantically strangled the monsters lured by Luo Ai'er, like an efficient killing machine.

Wanxing, on the other hand, uses the power of [Travel Across the Earth] to roam outside and does not stick to one position. He is more flexible and has quicker reactions.

The massive amount of experience points he gained was first used by him to cultivate the power 5 [Titanization] inherited from the God of Earth.

When the [Titanization] is successfully cultivated, Wanxing will directly transform into a towering Titan giant, and the holy sword Fireworks in his hand will also grow synchronously!

The fifty-ninth floor of the originally vast and boundless maze is no longer out of reach from the perspective of the Titan.

The efficiency of monster spawning has naturally been further improved.

Even though the maze would spawn monsters endlessly, and the Wanxing team was fleecing them so hard, it was hard for them to keep up with their killing pace.

Wan Xing swept his sword horizontally and chopped it down according to inertia, but he missed. The monster on the 59th floor had a brief period of absence.

The sword flashed across the sky, slashing across the ground, leaving a deep crack. Fortunately, the maze had a self-repair function, otherwise it would have been torn apart by the Titanized Wanxing sooner or later.

It takes time for the monsters on the 59th floor to refresh, but it doesn’t matter. Wanxing decided on the spot to return to the 58th floor and continue refreshing!

There isn't much else in the maze, except for the many levels.

Just now, when rushing from the 50th floor to the 59th floor, Wanxing saw ten kinds of monsters that he had never seen before.

The fifty-eighth level is a highly poisonous chimera that can self-destruct. It has strong combat power, and whenever it is seriously injured, it will excitedly explode with a "bang", and dark green venom will splash out like rain.

Other Chimeras were fine when they encountered it, it was like being caught in the rain.

But if an ordinary person gets a drop of it on him, he will be corroded into green smoke on the spot.

Even a hero-level warrior with fighting spirit or magic shield needs to continuously consume fighting spirit or magic power to barely isolate the poison and avoid falling into a poisoned state.

This kind of attritional warfare was a considerable burden even for a Hero-level warrior, quickly exhausting their fighting spirit or magic power. Ultimately, they could only flee in disgrace, unable to fight on the 58th floor for long.

Thanks to the Wanxing team, they actually have two ways to restrain this poison - Xingyi's [Devouring] talent, and Wanxing's [Earth Guardian] power, both of which can provide zero-cost and all-round defense against this self-destructive attack.

Chapter 106: Mermaid Bloodline

Precisely because they have sufficient means to deal with the situation, the Wanxing team can use the 58th floor as a transitional alternative. After the monsters on the 59th floor have almost been refreshed, they can continue to go there to kill monsters.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye it was evening a week later.

During these seven days, Wanxing's magician and warrior levels, as well as the level of his familiar Xingyi, have all risen to LV52! (Current experience value 88%)

After reaching the heroic level, the experience points required for each level up are astronomical. Fortunately, Wanxing is as diligent as ever and goes to the maze to kill monsters whenever he has time, otherwise the leveling would be even slower.

However, with Wanxing's current combat power,

Before the hero rises and the demon king descends,

It's basically enough.

At least there is no problem in saving your life.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

He still has plenty of time to develop.

Near dusk, Wanxing brought Luo Ai'er and Xingyi out of the maze as usual.

Just as he was about to return to the dormitory, the magic item on his wrist rang with a call request.

After the call was connected, the cheap father's voice came from inside: "My son, come back soon."

The call was disconnected as soon as the words fell.

Wan Xing returned to the Duke's Mansion in confusion and saw his cheap father sitting in his old seat.

There was something on the round table in front of him. It was pure white with a hint of red, about the size of a baby's palm, and fan-shaped.

"Is this...fish scales?"

Wan Xing walked in and was stunned when he saw the scales. Such a big fish scale obviously showed that its owner was also quite big. By comparing it with the common fish species during the holiday, it can be roughly inferred that the owner of the scales was probably three to four meters long.

There are many big fish like this in this magical world, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

"Yes, this is the scale of a mermaid from the royal family of the ocean, and it is also the token of your journey."

"Father, is there anything I can do for you?"

"A week ago, a giant dragon appeared outside the city. My son should have seen it too, right?"

"Yes, Father, are you worried that a giant dragon will attack Russell City? Actually, there's no need to worry..."

Wan Xing was just about to admit it, and by the way, he asked Xing Yi to perform a transformation on the spot to reassure his cheap dad.

Unexpectedly, Duke Russell changed the subject and continued, "There's really no need to worry about the dragon. According to reliable information, the dragon has entered a new maze on the border between the two countries and will not pose a threat to Russell City. Besides, if the threat comes from the dragon, we don't need to resist. It would be more convenient to just move and escape."

Since his cheap father wasn't worried about a dragon attack, Wan Xing was no longer in a hurry to reveal Xing Yi's identity. He asked doubtfully, "Then what is father worried about?"

"The danger doesn't lie with the dragon itself, but with the greed of human hearts!" Duke Russell patiently explained to his son, "Because the dragon suddenly appeared near Russell City, there's been a rumor circulating lately that there's a dragon's nest near Russell City!"

Well, Wanxing admitted that there was indeed a dragon's nest at the bottom of Lake Bell in the south of Russell City, but it was not Xingyi's, but her half-brother whom she had never met. This could be considered a lucky coincidence.

"I see! Father is worried that the adventurers who have heard the news will disrupt the order in Russell City and even threaten the safety of the Duke's Mansion."

Wanxing certainly understood how tempting the treasures buried in a dragon's nest were to adventurers, and it was something no adventurer could refuse.

Once this rumor spreads, adventurers from all over the continent are likely to flock to the place, and among these adventurers, there are many powerful and unruly people!

Once order cannot be maintained, burning, killing and looting are also good ways to make money for these adventurers who are used to freedom.

Although the Duke's Mansion is powerful, it is bound to be unable to fight against so many adventurers.

Duke Russell was reluctant to give up his territory, so he could only find a way to ask for help. If it was a dragon attacking, Duke Russell would definitely choose to escape without hesitation, but it was adventurers who came, so the situation was not that serious.

As long as they can hold on for a year or two, the adventurers who can't find the dragon's nest will naturally go back to where they came from and live their own lives!

Even if they found the dragon's nest, the satisfied adventurers would still disperse.

"exactly!"

Duke Russell nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The wife of our first ancestor of the Russell family was a mermaid from the royal family of the ocean. After the first Duke Russell died of old age, this ancestor's wife returned to the sea. However, she left behind a token—this fish scale. If our descendants encounter a disaster, they can go to the royal family of the ocean and seek her help!"

"The mermaids are the darlings of the ocean, and their lifespan is similar to that of the elves, nature's darlings. The ancestor's wife should still be alive... Even if she's gone, someone will surely be arranged to replace her! As long as we can summon the mermaids' support and hold out for a few years, the crisis in the territory will naturally be resolved."

"But I have to manage the territory here and can't leave, so I have to trouble my son to go there."

Wan Xing never expected that the Russell family had such a background. Why was it not shown in the original game?

But he changed his mind and soon figured it out.

In the game plot, the Duke's Mansion has always been as stable as a rock, without any crisis, and Duke Russell does not need to ask for help at all.

Until the brave man returned and destroyed the Duke's Mansion that day, Duke Russell had no chance to ask for help.

As for the bloodline issue, although the second generation Duke Russell had half mermaid blood, he later intermarried with human women, and by the time it was passed down to Wanxing's generation, it had been diluted many times.

According to the calculation of one-half for the second generation, one-quarter for the third generation, one-eighth for the fourth generation... after dozens of generations, it is estimated that only one in several billion is left, which can be completely ignored.

Therefore, Wanxing had not noticed any abnormality in his bloodline before.

"Father, please rest assured. Leave this matter to me!"

In the end, Wanxing decided to take on this rescue mission and go to the ocean.

It’s not that he was afraid of the adventurers who came to look for the dragon’s nest - with the combat power of the Wanxing team, if it was just to maintain order in Russell City, there would be no problem.

But Wanxing is busy entering the Russell Maze to kill monsters and level up every day. How can he have time to hang out in Russell City all day to maintain law and order?

These one or two years are very precious time for his safe development. If he wastes it on maintaining law and order, although he can wait until the adventurers disperse, he will also wait for the arrival of the Demon King and the return of the hero!

By then, Wanxing, whose strength has stagnated, will be truly powerless to turn the situation around and can only flee in panic!

More importantly, he was familiar with the plot of the game and knew that there was also a female protagonist on the side of the Ocean Royal Family.

Since she appears in the later part of the plot, the Son of Fortune certainly doesn't know her yet, so this is a perfect opportunity to intercept her.

Chapter 107: Magic Guidance Chart

It would be fine if Longgu Kaiwu, the son of destiny, did not take the initiative to attack Wanxing in the future.

If Longgu Kaiwu takes the initiative,

If the purity of Wanxing's [Super Villain Halo] can be increased by 1%, the possibility of victory will be increased by one point!

And every heroine he snatches away will become a very useful assistant.

So Wanxing finally accepted the mission to seek help. After all, he could kill monsters and level up in the ocean, but the efficiency was not as high as in the maze.

By the way, you can also take a look at the scenery along the way and change your mood.

Duke Russell handed him the fish scales and a sea chart and went about his business.

Wan Xing first went to the backyard of the Duke's Mansion to see his mother, and then returned to the dormitory of Russell Academy.

……

The next day, Wanxing took Luo Ai'er and Xingyi on a journey to seek help.

The reason why Davilia, Norlandi and Claires were not brought along was because they were in the golden period of cultivation after awakening their respective special physiques and they really needed a quiet and stable environment for cultivation.

Moreover, the process of breaking through from the super-level realm to the heroic level cannot be interrupted rashly.

Wan Xing estimated that by the time he returned from the ocean seeking help, they should be able to complete the breakthrough and keep up with the team.

According to the sea chart left by the ancestor's wife, the place to seek help was on the coral island in the sea east of Russell City.

Probably in order to protect the human identity of future generations, the ancestor's wife did not arrange the place for seeking help at the bottom of the sea.

This coral island is located in an archipelago about a thousand kilometers from the coastline - its geographical location is similar to the Japanese archipelago east of the Asian continent on Earth.

Strictly speaking, this place cannot even be considered deep sea.

Even sea creatures rarely go to the real deep sea areas, because the seabed in the deep sea is not exposed to sunlight and there is a lack of plants and food, so most sea creatures live in shallow sea areas.
