The lower level is already very far from the ground, and it would take even a well-traveled person most of a day to get here. Therefore, every time you go to the lower level to explore, it will take two or three days to return.
Jiang Li set the exploration cycle to three days. Once the three days are over, he will return to the ground and rest for two days before continuing to explore.
He himself didn't care at all, but he also had to consider Lefia and the others' problems as well as supplies.
Although there will be a large number of Level 3 monsters in the lower levels, the reduction in strength gap between them and the monsters has greatly slowed down Jiang Li's leveling speed.
Exploring the lower level once would only increase his proficiency by about two to three hundred points in total, which was incomparable to before. If this continued, it would take him at least two or three months to reach level 4.
"No expedition?"
Jiang Li often complained like this.
"How can it be so fast?"
Alicia complained very speechlessly: "It's only been a few days since the last expedition, and it will be at least a month before we can go on the next expedition... Let's not talk about this, come and try the bento I made!"
Lefiya has been silent beside her. She has not spoken much in the past few days, as if she is thinking about some serious issue.
Jiang Li was just talking.
The expedition had to take into account the mobilization of supplies, connections with people, etc. It could not be prepared in a few days, and he knew this well.
But he really likes the big experience package like the expedition.
If there was an expedition, he would be able to reach Level 4 at least twice as fast.
"Let's go back today, it's almost noon."
After lunch, Alicia took out her pocket watch and suggested to the two of them.
"That's fine."
Jiang Li sighed.
"Speaking of which, does charm work on monsters?"
While relieving himself, Jiang Li found a monster and experimented with it.
As a result, the monster's expression suddenly became fanatical. Even if he raised the butcher's knife, it had no intention of escaping, and looked like it was willing to die.
That is to say, there is a language barrier, otherwise you will have to obey what you say, which is just like brainwashing and terrifying.
Some people may think that if this is the case, then it would be better to use charm to attract and kill monsters on a large scale. However, this is not the case. Improving proficiency requires training, not massacre.
You can't gain much proficiency by killing people who don't resist, even if you kill higher-level monsters.
For those Level 5 people who go to the dungeon next time, even if they massacre Level 4 monsters on a large scale, their proficiency will only increase by single digits at most. Since the Ais Expedition, the proficiency level has only increased by less than 20 points. You can see how big the difference is.
Several people returned to the passage on the 25th floor, and then fought their way back to the 18th floor.
By the time they reached the 18th floor, it was already approaching evening. The three of them took a detour to Rivera Street, intending to take a break here, have dinner, and replenish their energy.
However, as soon as they arrived on the 18th floor, several people discovered that the atmosphere here was completely wrong.
"It feels like the number of people is a bit small."
Jiang Li looked at the very depressed street and couldn't help but feel confused.
Although Rivera Street is not big, there are at least 500 adventurers stationed here. It cannot be said to be very prosperous and lively, but it is impossible not to see anyone as soon as you enter.
"The goods in this store are still there, but there's no one there."
Lefiya walked to a shabby prop shop and called twice but no one responded.
"...There seems to be a sound over there in the square."
Alicia listened for a while, and then said thoughtfully.
The three of them summed it up and decided to go to the square to have a look.
All the food they brought with them had been eaten, and even the portable food was gone. They had to find a store to eat.
Crystal Plaza.
The twin crystals destroyed by the frog girl Phryni have been restored and stand in the center of the square, exuding colorful colors and making the place shine with each other.
At this moment, just like that time, all the adventurers in the street gathered here, making the place very noisy.
This time, it was an acquaintance of Jiang Li and the others who did such a thing.
"Miss Ace?!"
Lefia exclaimed.
She couldn't help but feel flustered when she saw the blond girl standing in the middle of the square.
How to do how to do?
When Miss Ais saw me and Jiang Li together, would she misunderstand my relationship with him? How should I explain it... Lefiya was thinking about it in her mind, and she was extremely nervous.
Alicia said that she is not an air person.
"Jiang Li, are you here too?"
Aisi couldn't help but show a slight surprise when she saw their figures, and then took the initiative to walk towards them.
Lefiya's expression suddenly froze.
Uh-huh? ?
Was it me who shouted just now?
Why was it that Miss Ais called his name first?
"What's going on here?"
"Someone was killed."
Under Jiang Li's inquiry, Aisi explained softly.
This is what happened last night.
The deceased was Hashana, a Level 4 Gang Fist fighter from the Ganesha clan. It is speculated that the person who killed him was the woman he brought to the hotel last night.
None of the deceased's belongings were taken away, but the luggage showed signs of being rummaged through. In addition, the deceased's head was brutally trampled on, so it was inferred that the woman was looking for something but couldn't find it, so she vented her anger. .
That woman is probably still in the streets of Rivera, and they are gathering everyone together to find the culprit.
"That's what Finn and the others planned."
Aisi pointed not far away.
Finn, Riveria, Tione and Tiona were all there, searching the men and women respectively.
"Do the Loki Familia still work part-time as detectives?"
"The safe floor is very critical. If the prisoner is not found, no one will be able to do business with peace of mind."
It takes an average third-level adventurer two hours to get from here to the ground, not counting being attacked by monsters. Therefore, the streets on the safe floor are very valuable and are particularly valued by advanced adventurers.
If there is no more business here, then adventurers will have to waste a lot of time and materials traveling up and down the surface, which is not worth it. This is the same for the Loki Familia.
So, it is necessary for them to resolve the dispute that occurred here.
And that woman can kill a Level 4 Gang Fist fighter, which proves that her strength is at least Level 5. At this stage, only the Loki Familia can help solve the problem.
"Is the dog man trying to escape?"
While Aisi and Jiang Li were talking, Alicia suddenly spoke up.
She pointed at a canine girl in the crowd who was holding a medium-sized bag. Her wheat-colored face was now turning blue and white as if she was infected with a disease. She stood on the edge of the Crystal Square and looked at the commotion in front of her with fear. .
Then, she kept backing up and quickly escaped from the Crystal Square without attracting anyone's attention.
"I'll chase him!"
Ai didn't hesitate at all, like a gust of wind, he immediately set off to chase the opponent.
Above the floor, a huge white crystal bloomed like a stamen.
The light released from the crystal gradually weakened and was eventually completely eliminated, replaced by the surrounding blue crystals.
Night comes to the town.
