This way, it will be possible to reach level 50 in five days, allowing the clan members to significantly reduce resource consumption.

"Now, everyone, move forward in the pre-planned formation. If anyone violates this rule, I will impose the most severe punishment on them!"

Finn coldly surveyed the spirited members; he had now fully embraced his role as the leader of the clan.

No one voiced any objection; on the contrary, everyone quickly found their place and waited for Finn to give orders.

All the mages, supporters, and supply trucks hid in the very center of the group.

Then there are melee-type adventurers like Raul and William.

The outermost layer is protected by the first-rank adventurers of the clan.

After passing through the 18th to the 19th floor, they reached the "Great Tree Maze," a realm William had never been to before. The floors corresponding to the "Great Tree Maze" are the 19th to the 24th floors, which is William and his companions' destination for today.

As the name suggests, the names of the underground city floors are almost all based on the environment of the underground city itself. For example, the upper level is mostly made up of stone caves and tunnels, so it is called the "Stone Cave Maze".

The "Great Tree Maze" is just like its name suggests; all you can see on these six floors is an endless expanse of towering shrubs.

Not only were the ground covered with trees, but the ceiling and walls were also covered with tree bark. Even the paths were covered with moss. It's no exaggeration to say that you couldn't find any trace of soil or stone in the entire room.

"What a magnificent view!"

William took a deep breath, inhaling the delicate fragrance of various flowers and the fresh air.

"Right! Right!"

Lefia, who was close to William, immediately came over and said that her favorite dungeon was the "Great Tree Maze".

Rather, it's more accurate to say that all the Orario elves love this place. Having grown up in the forest, returning here feels like coming home.

"Gah! Gah!"

A series of mournful bird cries came from the bushes ahead, and the monster making the sounds was the firebird that William had dealt with some time ago.

“Bert, Tiona, Tione, Ais”.

Finn, standing at the very front, looked at the firebird before him without saying much, simply uttering the name calmly.

Four figures immediately darted out from the group and rushed forward.

"Bah!"

"boom!"

"Dangdang!"

As the four figures moved swiftly, scalding crimson blood sprayed onto the lush green leaves, forming eerie, demonic flowers.

Even the firebirds that had previously stumped Ais and Bert could not escape their fate of being slain, dying tragically on the spot under that glint of cold light.

"Everyone seems to be very motivated today."

Lefia stared blankly at the four people leading the way, because there was no need to collect such low-level magic stones, so they only needed to follow along.

Even so, their progress was still slower than the four freaks ahead of them who were clearing out the monsters.

Who knows!

William had his hands in his pockets. Ever since Alicia spread the word about his challenge to Udeos, Linne had taken the supporter's backpack that he was carrying, telling him to get some rest.

The safety was taken care of by the dwarf elder Grace, so he was now extremely relaxed, as if he were just strolling around town.

"That's because they were all spurred on by a rising star!"

Even though Riveria was only a level 6 mage, she was still protected in the middle of the group, so she naturally heard her two apprentices whispering.

"It's because of William!"

Lefia said with a complicated expression, "Since that time, I have been studying magic diligently. I even estimate that I will be able to level up to level 4 after this expedition."

Even with all her efforts, she didn't feel that the gap between her and William had narrowed by even a fraction.

"Yes!"

Rivira looked at her little apprentice with a smile on her lips. She was quite satisfied with Lefia's attitude towards learning.

Every day, he would bring his notes to his room to study, and he would no longer doze off or get distracted during class. He would also go to the dungeon every day to practice his chanting skills.

William remained silent, since the two were discussing him, and if he interrupted, it would feel like he was boasting.

He silently bent down and picked mushrooms growing on the trees. Although hunting was not allowed in the underground city, there were still a few edible plants, and this mushroom was one of the ones he had read about in the clan records.

"William, what are you doing?"

Noticing William's actions, Alicia quietly moved closer and asked him in a low voice.

"It's a secret. You'll find out tonight."

William's words naturally displeased Alicia, who pouted her delicate lips.

However, seeing that William wouldn't say anything, she gave up asking and helped him pick mushrooms.

……

The monsters' mournful roars!

The elves chanted incantations!

The clanging sound of metal weapons clashing with the claws and teeth of monsters!

The adventurers of the Loki Familia fought relentlessly against the monsters, and despite the endless waves of monster attacks, they could not stop their advance.

Finn said it would take three hours to reach the 24th floor, and they indeed arrived at their destination in three hours.

Finn, the leader, skillfully found a clearing right next to a cliff for the group. This was a place that the Loki Familia would come to every time they went on an expedition.

With cliffs tens of meters deep on three sides and only one road leading directly to their camp, it was an excellent place to set up camp.

The family members were all doing their jobs in an orderly manner.

They are responsible for keeping watch and clearing out monsters in the surrounding area.

The person in charge of setting up the tent.

They were responsible for gathering firewood in the woods.

Of course, there are also people responsible for cooking.

William stood in front of the pot that had already been set up and dumped out all the mushrooms he had picked up from the previous floors.

He had just picked it up casually for tonight's dinner, so there was no need to keep it.

"William! Are you going to cook?"

Linne, the girl with the glasses, looked at William with some surprise as she held the wild fruit she had just prepared.

She had just finished washing the wild berries she had picked when someone took over her stove.

"Oh, yes!"

"Since I don't have anything else to do, I'll cook a meal to relax and let you guys try my cooking."

William stirred the mushrooms in the pot with his chopsticks without looking up. These mushrooms were quite troublesome; the membrane on their surface needed to be scalded with boiling water before it could be peeled off.

"What! What! William, are you making dinner?"

Tiona, with her hands behind her head, watched William and Linne busy themselves in front of the stove, and then ran over in a flash.

At the same time, her loud shouting attracted the attention of the other women in the clan!

In just a moment!

William was surrounded by a fragrant breeze, but he didn't have time to talk to the girls.

"Line, could you please cut up the lime and hand it to me?"

William stirred the broth in the pot, which had turned orange-yellow. The dry, hard-to-swallow jerky had, after William's simple simmering, released its original meaty aroma.

The mushrooms picked up casually from the roadside complemented the dried meat perfectly.

He casually sprinkled the salt that Linne had brought. Because he needed to leave room for carrying supplies, this bottle of salt was already the maximum he could carry, and it was unlikely that he would ask for anything else.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lina, as expected of the Loki Familia's personal cook, drew her protective short sword, its silver blade flashing.

She sliced ​​the bright green limes into thin, even slices, her knife skills comparable to those of a master knife maker who had been immersing himself in the craft for many years.

A delightful aroma wafted from the boiling pot. After an hour of simmering, Chef Wei's dish was finally ready.

"Alright, everyone, help yourselves!"

William left the soup ladle in the pot and moved away from the pot.

Tiona, who had been eagerly waiting for him to eat, rushed over with her own bowl of rice.

The speed was so fast that William almost thought he was seeing double.

"Let me try some too!"

The elf elder sister Alicia's movements were in no way inferior to Tiona's.

Seeing these two exemplary figures, the other girls completely forgot about being reserved and swarmed around them.

"It tastes so good!"

After taking her first sip of soup, the carefree Tiona made this comment before going into a frenzy of eating.

"It really tastes great!"

Alicia's way of drinking soup was much more elegant. Unlike Tiona, who just gulped it down from the bowl, she used her own spoon to drink it spoonful by spoonful.

But she was also very fast; in no time, the bowl of soup was empty, and you could see the bottom of the bowl.

"William, could you teach me how to cook later?"
