In the square where the Loki Family resides, Loki is talking to Dionysus.
In fact, Loki had long wanted to withdraw and had made it clear, but the god in front of him, Dionysus, kept interrupting him and even deliberately entangled him by exchanging information. Therefore, Loki was also quite suspicious of him. .
"Haha, monsters are wandering around on the 24th floor, that's right. Then, Dionysus, what do you want us to do?"
There was no flaw on Loki's face, and he still dealt with the other party in a nonchalant manner.
The purpose is naturally to guess the other party's intentions.
Dionysus also smiled gently and replied: "I don't want you to do anything. As a companion who faced the incident together, I will just report it."
Tsk, that’s the attitude.
Obviously he didn't ask for too much or contact him, but he insisted on getting it by himself, and he still had such a mystical attitude. If you don't doubt, who do you doubt?
Loki showed an undisguised expression of disgust.
That's the kind of character she has.
Never hide what you don't like.
Dionysus saw this and said slightly seriously: "Don't you think it's strange? It has affected the adventurers, but the guild has done nothing. It feels like it is hiding something."
"Maybe. Although I am also very curious, I don't have time to find out the truth."
Loki, who had already decided to pull away, really didn't want to see them throwing dirty water at each other. Especially when they also intend to bring themselves in, they are even more respectful and insensitive.
Dionysus was not angry when he saw that she did not follow his own routine, but continued to seduce: "I know you are resisting, but is it really okay?"
"Um……"
Loki was slightly silent.
She really wanted to get away, but Riveria said it was impossible because of her relationship with the swordswoman, and she wanted to stay out of it unless she ignored her.
Ignore the children with the most potential?
Don't be kidding, how is that possible!
Just as Loki was thinking about what to do, the shouts of his Thousand Elves came from the distance.
"Loki----"
"What's wrong, Lefiya?"
"Miss Ais wrote a letter saying that she suddenly received a mission to go to the 24th floor."
"What?!"
Loki was startled.
As soon as I got to the 24th floor, I was still thinking about how to prevent my own sword girl from getting involved, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I was already there alone.
How dare she? !
She grabbed the letter, it was indeed written by Aisi, and she felt bad.
"Why are you with Xiaolin, so you don't have to worry about me, idiot Ace! Lefiya, go and call Bert over here! That guy actually dared to abduct my princess, you're finished!"
Loki looked vicious, as if he wanted to eat people.
the other side.
Xiao Lin felt cold all over and couldn't help but tremble. He always felt that something bad had happened.
"Speaking of which, Miss Ais, have you reported to Lord Loki about taking on the mission alone?"
"Yes, I wrote a letter. He also said that I would be with you, Xiaolin."
Um? ? ?
Kobayashi has a black question mark face.
So strange, why does my name appear?
As if aware of his doubts, the naturally stupid swordswoman Ais explained matter-of-factly: "In order not to worry them."
No, no, no, if you do this, it will make them worry.
Wouldn't he mistakenly think that he abducted his own princess, so he gathered the strongest fighting force to find it in the dungeon, and decided to beat himself up or something...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Unwilling to face reality, Xiao Lin shook his head wildly, trying to throw this unrealistic thought away from his mind.
Now they are heading to the 23rd floor. Since Xiaolin and Sword Princess are very strong, they and a few members of the Hermes Familia such as Asfi and Lulune serve as the advance team to go to the lower level first to investigate.
"But it's incredible."
"What?"
"Obviously we are from different families, but we have the opportunity to act together with Sword Princess and Mr. Xiaolin... I always feel at ease."
Lulune put her hands together in a prayer gesture.
In fact, she did have the idea of escape. After all, one can imagine how dangerous the mission with the two bosses would be.
But similarly, having strong people around you will also give you a complete sense of security.
It’s similar to Xiaolin’s idea.
Sword Girl Ais couldn't understand the meaning, she just nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "Speaking of which, why are you wearing robes in the town?"
"Ah, that." Lulune pretended to be mysterious: "There are always some things that no one should know. If everyone's real level and the floor they reached are exposed..."
"Lulune!"
"Huh!"
After being scolded by Asfi, the leader of her family clan, Lulune suddenly swallowed back the rest of her words like a chicken being strangled by the neck.
"Really, don't you have the ability to learn?"
"I accidentally slipped my tongue, I'm sorry. Sword Lady, please pretend you didn't hear what happened just now."
Lulune decisively admitted her mistake.
Just as Xiao Lin thought, this stupid dog-human race is not only greedy but also very loose-mouthed. The most important thing is that this guy has no intention of correcting himself and will be implicated one day.
But it is understandable that Asifei would be so nervous, after all, she hid her class.
She is now at LV4, but under the instruction of the God Hermes, she is revealed to be LV2. However, their dependents do not often stay in the labyrinth city, so it is necessary to disclose that the requirements of the dependent family members class do not apply to them, and there is room for pulling.
But it would be very troublesome if it were exposed, and it could easily turn into a situation like "Miss, you don't want your class-hiding thing to be discovered."
Quickly pass through level 23.
The scenery here is almost the same. Except for a few main roads leading directly to each floor, the rest of the place is covered by green vegetation.
At this time, Asfi said: "Lulune, we are about to reach the 24th floor. Take out the map."
"yes."
Lulune took out the map from her pocket and unfolded it.
This is a middle-level map. It is different from the first 5-level maps that the guild distributes for free. The maps from the 18th level onwards are all explored by yourself or purchased from others. It is also possible to buy fake maps accidentally.
Come to the door of the 24th floor.
Yasifei said in a consultative tone: "First of all, we have to find out where the monsters are born, and start investigating them one by one from the nearest food depot. We don't know what will happen, so everyone needs to be vigilant."
"Sorry, can I interrupt for a moment."
Xiao Lin raised his hand to signal.
Since it is a cooperative task, Yasifei will also listen to the collaborator's request and use her eyes to signal Xiaolin to speak.
Xiaolin said bluntly: "Let me lead the way. In fact, I have the ability of [far vision], so I think it will be much easier to find the monsters."
"The ability to see far?"
"Yes, Miss Ais can testify to this."
Yasifei looked at Sword Girl with a confirming look, gaining her approval.
Kobayashi had used his far-sighted ability before in the dungeon and found Bell quickly, so he could believe it.
"I understand. Then change the formation. Mr. Xiaolin, you will lead the way."
"receive."
A pattern appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead.
It looks like the symbol of the Familia, but it is not the symbol of the Familia of Uranus, the God of the Sky. No one present even knows which Familia it is.
"Go this way afterward."
"Eh?"
"What's wrong, Lulune?"
"But the nearest food bank is in the completely opposite direction..."
Lulune handed the map to Asfi, indicating that she was right. But before Xiao Lin could explain, Sword Girl said first:
"I think it's over there too."
The direction of her finger was exactly where Xiao Lin was going.
Everyone looked at Yasifei and let her make the decision. After all, she was the nominal leader of this task team.
Yasifei thought for a while and said, "In that case... well, just follow the direction Xiaolin and Jian Ji told us."
She gave Xiao Lin and Jian Ji enough trust, probably thinking of something.
After that, everyone headed off into the distance.
Floor 24...
To be precise, it's the 19th to 24th floors.
These floors are tree mazes where the walls, floors, and ceilings are made of wood, and the floors are covered in radiant moss that emits blue light instead of phosphorescence, so it looks like the inside of a giant tree.
Among them, the 24th floor is the largest.
At least half the size of Orario.
Rare trees, plant diversity often provide ingredients for crafting healing items, causing the area to issue many resource gathering quests.
It is filled with poisonous monsters and monsters that are stronger than the Minotaur. Even with a large party, it is difficult for adventurers with only LV2 to explore the area.
But there is no obstacle for Xiaolin.
Xiaolin, who has the ability of [Perception] and [Far Vision], moved quickly in the dense forest, avoiding all the monsters that would put them in danger, and even collected a lot of precious materials on the way.
"It's amazing, Mr. Xiaolin is amazing!"
This was the first time that Lulune felt so relaxed in a dangerous jungle. They didn't need to tense up and could see the beauty of the jungle from the other side.
It feels like I'm on an outing.
"Don't be careless, Lulune."
Although Asfi was teaching her a lesson, she was actually secretly frightened.
Being able to wander in the dangerous jungle and avoid all dangers is enough to show Xiaolin's ability. Based on this alone, countless family members rushed to win over him.
It's just that she cares more about another point.
"Jian Ji, can you feel the monster's breath?"
"Yeah. It's probably just a matter of heading straight in this direction. And it's not just me. Xiaolin should also have the same ability."
"is that so?"
"Um."
After receiving an affirmative answer from the Sword Princess, Yasifei was slightly startled. She pushed her eyes and did not speak, but silently wrote these down.
Walk through dense forests, crawl into caves, and climb cliffs.
Due to the obstacles of the terrain and their strength, it took them half a day to reach the food depot.
"arrive."
"right here."
Xiao Lin and Jian Ji stepped on the cliff and looked down the valley.
Boars, ground bears, trolls, lizardmen, green dragons, giant goblins, and bloody wasps.
The monsters from the 19th to 24th floors all gathered here to form an army of monsters, passing in front of everyone.
At a rough glance, it's at least a thousand!
"Huh!!!"
"Are these all monsters?"
"No wonder there were riots."
The members of the Hermes Familia exclaimed in low voices and swallowed in fear.
Because there are so many!
With just a few of their weak bodies, they would be eaten up by the swarm of monsters, and they would not be able to eliminate any of them.
But we can't let them go.
If they run to the upper level, there is no telling how many adventurers will die.
Yasi Fei was silent for a moment and then ordered: "Everyone, prepare to fight."
"Wait a moment."
"Let's do it."
Sword Princess Aisi and Xiao Lin are already eager to try.
After upgrading to LV2, Xiaolin can regain his proficiency. However, he has been delayed by various things recently and has no time. Now, with an army of monsters appearing in front of him, how can he miss such a good opportunity?
The same goes for Sword Princess Ais. After reaching LV6, she didn't have a proper chance to make adjustments, but she happened to encounter a suitable army of monsters.
"Let's go, Miss Ais."
"Um."
Xiaolin and Sword Princess rushed towards the monster army, completely ignoring Lulune's nervous shouts behind them.
"Awaken."
"Awaken."
After a brief spell, two green whirlwinds enveloped them. They looked at each other and rushed towards the monster army together.
Although the weapons are different, the fighting methods are similar.
He was swimming in the monster army like an unparalleled mower, with flesh and blood flying everywhere he went. However, the handsome men and beautiful women were not nauseating, but more like dancing a gorgeous dance that was pleasing to the eye.
"The two of them can clean it up."
"Shall we go back?"
"How can this be done?"
The members of the Hermes Familia just watched from above, unable to participate in this powerful dance at all.
"Speaking of which, don't you think they work well together?"
"Do you feel that way too?"
"Well, it's like dancing."
really.
There is no conflict in their actions, they can step on the same beat every time, and their cooperation is extremely tacit.
Asphi nodded secretly.
Swordswoman Ais possesses wind-attribute magic. She specializes in agility, so she is particularly agile and elegant in battle. Moreover, the opponent is a LV6 super strong, so dealing with an army of LV2 monsters is naturally a matter of chopping up melons and vegetables.
But another person...
Turning his attention to Xiao Lin, he found that he was also wrapped in a green whirlwind, and he was swimming in the army of monsters with Aisi.
It's okay to have Wushuang like Sword Queen, but he can still keep up with Sword Queen's rhythm and even cooperate.
And instead of cooperating with each other, they actively cooperate with the rhythm of Sword Princess.
As an outsider, she could clearly see that Xiao Lin was trying hard to be a green leaf, or a supporting role, constantly stimulating Sword Girl's strength. Thanks to this, Sword Princess can display her extraordinary strength.
I thought I was enough to raise Xiao Lin's evaluation, but I didn't expect that the other party was far more outstanding than I thought.
Yasi Fei whispered softly:
"No wonder this person..."
In a short time, all the monsters were defeated, leaving only a mess. Except for being a little tired, neither of them was injured.
"Well, that's it."
Xiaolin rubbed his shoulders.
Fortunately, he was able to recover mana and health during the battle, otherwise it would have been quite difficult for him, who was only at LV2, to keep up with Sword Lady's rhythm.
"Sword Princess!"
Along with the shouts, members of the Hermes Familia came closer.
Lulune shouted excitedly: "It's so awesome, you two defeated such a large group of monsters!"
With two strong people around, she really felt at ease.
Yasi Fei also asked: "I heard that you are LV5 before. Have you been promoted?"
"Um."
"No wonder. Your senses will be a little sluggish after you have just upgraded. Xiaolin just helped you adjust it in actual combat."
"is that so……"
The naturally stupid girl didn't know it. She just felt that her condition was getting better quickly, and she didn't know if it had anything to do with Xiao Lin.
She turned her doubtful eyes to the man beside her who had just fought with her, but Xiaolin shrugged and did not deny that this was just another use of [Five Vision Omnipotence].
"Okay, it looks like it's coming soon."
"Well, the food bank is right in front."
There was a strange smell coming from the cave in the distance, so there was no need to order everyone to be on alert subconsciously.
