I rely on myself

Chapter 358: Thousand Demons
Walking in the passages in the underground city, Lin Yuan and other members of Loki's family were talking and laughing, discussing various things together.

There were talks about which store's snacks were delicious, which craftsmen made great weapons, which monsters in the dungeon were troublesome, which materials were valuable, etc. In short, the atmosphere among the group was very lively, except for one person.

"boom!"

“Quack…Ah wow!”

With a dull sound, an attacking monster had its head kicked in and smashed before it could get close to the team. It turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving only a magic stone on the ground.

It was Bert who took action. At this moment, he was destroying all the monsters that gathered around him with an unhappy look on his face.

For him, a senior adventurer with level 5, although the number of monsters gathered was considerable, they could not withstand his tyrannical strength.

A casual strike can basically kill several monsters, so everyone's itinerary is not affected at all by the attacking monsters.

So why was Bert so unhappy? Was it because he was sent out to clean up these monsters? No, he was just unhappy with one person.

"Tsk, he's so powerful, but he's pretending to be weak. Is that fun? That guy..."

As he spoke, Bert vented his anger by launching a fierce kick. In an instant, several monsters that had managed to get close to him were cut off instantly by the sharp kick that was as sharp as a blade before they could even make a move, and they turned into ashes and dissipated.

Although he easily eliminated all the attacking monsters, Bert's depression did not disappear. Instead, he became more depressed and his face became uglier because he had to deal with these weak monsters.

This scene was of course also noticed by Lin Yuan who had been secretly watching. Seeing Bert's depressed look, he felt like he had taken a sip of frozen Coke on a hot day. There was only one word in his mind: "Great!"

Although Lin Yuan also knew that the other party was not a bad person, and even from a certain perspective, this seemingly arrogant young orc was very considerate, it was just that his way of expression seemed excessive, as he used bad words to warn the other party.

For example: the other party often shows contempt for some weak adventurers. In fact, they are disappointed with the other party and are angry at their lack of ambition, so they stimulate the other party to work harder through such bad words.

Because of its vicious attitude and even its arrogant appearance, it seems more like mockery and contempt to some people who don't know the reason.

However, knowing it did not stop Lin Yuan from laughing at the other party. After all, because of the other party, their family's rare celebration party was ruined.

Just like that, Lin Yuan felt secretly happy while looking at Bert's depressed expression, and continued chatting with other members of Loki's clan.

Bert was also depressed by Lin Yuan's stupid look and the loss he suffered in the previous conflict, so he took out his anger on the monsters around him.

The secret behavior of both of them was seen by one person, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it was not convenient for him to intervene. Fortunately, both sides were very restrained and just laughed at each other without any intention of escalating the situation. So he could only smile bitterly and acquiesce to the development of the situation.

In this way, the group walked at a very fast speed and soon returned to the ground.

Coming out of the corridor, they saw a bustling and lively hall with people coming and going, and sunlight shining in from the windows and doors. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment.

I feel like I'm finally back on the ground. After all, everyone in the dungeon always has a sense of crisis, as if there is an unknown danger brewing somewhere and will suddenly pop up at any time.

So when you are in the dungeon, no matter who you are, no matter how cheerful and lively you appear, you always have a sense of oppression and crisis in your heart, and you always stay alert. Now that you have left the dungeon, you don't have to stay alert all day long, even when you are resting. No matter who you are, you will feel relaxed, so you will have this sudden feeling.

When a group of people walked out of the passage leading to the underground city, they would of course attract other people's attention, and this sight immediately caused a shock.

"Look, isn't that Loki's family?"

"Oh, really, it's really the Loki Familia. Look, isn't that the leader of the Loki Familia, the Brave One?"

"There are also high-level adventurers like Nine Demon Princesses, Angry Snake, Great Severance, and Fierce Wolf here!"

"Ah! <Sword Princess> Ais Wallenstein is here too. She's so beautiful."

"Hey, don't be so loud, be careful of being spotted..."

Various exclamations rang out in the hall, and in just a blink of an eye, everyone's attention was drawn to it. This shows how famous the Loki Family, one of the strongest families in Orario, is.

Loki's family and others calmly accepted the constant exclamations and gazes in the hall, and it was obvious that they were accustomed to such treatment.

Just as Lin Yuan was sighing, he suddenly felt some eyes turning to him, and at the same time another cry of surprise rang out.

"Hey, isn't that the guy with Loki's family Thousand Demons? He's here too!"

“What! Thousand Demons, how could he be with Loki’s family? And it looks like they came back from exploring the dungeon together. This is impossible!!”

……

There was another commotion in the hall, but it was no longer because of Loki's family, but because of Lin Yuan, who was from a small family and was only level 2.

Feeling more and more eyes focused on him, some of them expressing extremely blatant emotions such as envy, jealousy, and hatred, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling depressed.

"Although I expected this, it still feels like trouble!!"

Perhaps ordinary adventurers or ordinary people like this feeling of being the center of attention, but at this moment Lin Yuan only felt it was troublesome.

Regarding Lin Yuan's troubled look, Finn on the side said with a smile: "Okay, don't mind it, and don't act like that, okay? You know, if you really want to make a fuss, you are stepping on our Loki family to get to the top. If you continue like this, you will still implicate us."

Although Finn sounded serious, there was more of a joking tone in his words. Knowing this very well, Lin Yuan put away his troubled expression and left the hall with Loki's family and others, heading to the counter to handle business.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of Lin Yuan and the Loki clan walking together, one of the onlookers couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This shouldn't be the case. How could they walk together after something like that happened? It's really weird..."
