“Daedalus Street?” Thousand Hands asked, somewhat puzzled. He seemed to have heard of it. Riveria continued to explain, “It’s a man-made labyrinth built by the extraordinary Daedalus a thousand years ago. He was in charge of building Orario and the Sky Tower. I heard that he also built many underground passages, which are known as the man-made labyrinth.”

“So that’s how it is. No wonder it could be built to the nineteenth floor,” Senju nodded. The three people next to him were very surprised. “Nineteenth floor? Is there an artificial passage there?”

“Yes, I have seen it,” Thousand Hands nodded, while the people next to him became restless. “How is that possible? Even Daedalus could not have built the passage that deep, and he has been dead for a thousand years.”

"But if this is true, it means that the underground city has another exit. Could it be that those man-eating plants were transported up from there?"

"Very likely, after all, no one expected Daedalus to build the tunnel so deep."

Listening to the three's discussion, Senju felt somewhat ashamed. He had only thought about making money and hadn't noticed the importance of the passage deep into the underground city.

After discussing for a while, the three decided to ask the Senju clan to scout ahead the next day to prevent anyone from causing trouble during the expedition. After agreeing on the plan, the Senju clan left, while Finn and the others pondered the situation.

When Senju returned home, she found that Niels and Bell had already returned. Niels seemed very happy and said that he had learned a lot of knowledge this time and needed to go back and digest it.

Bell's armor was also repaired, and it looked even better than the original. I asked around and found out that Welf and Nils had jointly modified it, experimenting with using super-hard metals and amulets. The modified armor offered significantly improved defense compared to the original light armor, and also came with many...

effect.

After chatting for a while, Senju took Nils home and gave him a bunch of newly mined metals, hoping he could forge an indestructible magic sword.

Afterwards, Senju and Bell went to the training room to see the effects of his new armor. When Bell was fighting the giant boar for the third time, Lily came in from outside, which brought the training session to an end.

“Lord Bell is pushing himself too hard,” Lily said, feeling sorry for Bell looking so disheveled. But Bell just grinned foolishly. “It’s alright, Lily. This kind of battle helps me get familiar with the situation in the middle levels.”

“However, there are many monsters in the middle level,” Thousand Hands reminded them from the side. The two nodded, knowing that the middle level was different.

As night was about to fall, Senju went to prepare for tomorrow's expedition. Nigolan and William also returned, bringing information about the squads. Naveltri, Aisha, and Shaley were in the second squad, while Senju and his group were in the first squad.

Chapter 509 The Morning of the Expedition

After hearing the news, Qian Shou told the two about the underground passage. After discussing it for a while, the three decided to send Lila to provide escort, while the others would proceed according to the original plan.

After discussing for a while, Nigoran reminded Senju that they also needed to prepare the clan's flag and emblem, so that others wouldn't be unaware of the Senju clan.

"Probably not," Qian Shou muttered. Everyone had seen his heroic figure a few days ago, so many people should have recognized him.

However, Senju broke out in a sweat when he thought about this. Although the hype surrounding that competition had died down, many people had seen his appearance. As a god, going directly to the dungeon seemed a bit troublesome.

However, after Senju expressed this concern, Nigoran quickly provided a solution: there was no need to change forms; all they needed to do was wear a mask and a cloak.

Senju, who thought Nigolan's words made a lot of sense, made a wooden mask and then put it on with a cloak, so no one would recognize him.

Then Senju found the clan flags that had been gathering dust in the space and made several copies as backups. After everything was ready, Nigolan and William went back.

In the morning, Nigolan, William, and Lila came out, while Chtholly and the others were here to see everyone off.

The three of them were already wearing the insignia of their clan, carrying a small bag containing various medicines and supplies, with weapons hanging from their waists and emergency kits on their legs containing many tools. They looked much more professional than the Senju clan.

Thousand Hands was wearing a white mask, a fire spirit cloak, a holy sword at his waist, and holding a flag in his hand. All his other items were in his bag.

Then, Chito and Yuri came out. Their attire was ordinary, with appropriate military uniforms, pistols at their waists, and the Holy Sword slung over their backs.

That's fine, but it's a bit strange that they're carrying two speakers. "Xiaoqian, You, what are you doing carrying speakers?"

“Go play some music,” Yuri shouted from the side, while Senju explained, “In the movies, music plays every time someone goes to war, so we want to try it this time too.”

“Uh,” Senju paused for a moment, then said he wouldn’t take the blame, “Actually, there’s no such custom here. Finn and his men have unique expedition habits that don’t involve music.”

"I see," the two said, somewhat disappointed. Senju felt a pang of sympathy for them as he looked at their disappointed expressions. "But we've now set out on our mission, so we can start playing now."

"Great!" the two exclaimed, and then got busy on the side. Several people nearby watched curiously. After a while, the two finally finished. "Okay, start the music!"

"Wow!" As the speakers were turned on, a stirring and passionate song came out. The singing was very good and enthusiastic, but the only downside was that the volume was too loud, making the audience dizzy from the sound.

The two people next to the speaker were stunned by the sound for a moment. After they came to their senses, they hurriedly turned off the speaker, and the world became quiet again.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the door next to them opened, and Hestia stormed out, shouting something. Thousand Hands rubbed his ears, indicating that the noise had been too loud and he hadn't heard anything.

Chito and Yuri looked at the speakers with some disappointment. Senju went over and comforted them for a while. Their hearing had finally returned. "It's okay, Chito and Yuri. Just practice a bit and be prepared next time."

"Hmm," the two were a little disappointed. Thousand Hands rubbed their heads vigorously and secretly kissed them, which cheered them up. Of course, they were also a little shy. Then the two ran back into the space, and Chtholly and the others went back to restore their hearing.

“Let’s go,” Senju waved to the three of them, then heard a voice beside him, “Wait, was that you guys who made that sound just now?”

When Senju turned around, he saw Hestia standing next to him, looking sullen and glaring at him fiercely. Beside her stood an embarrassed Bell and Lily.

"Ah, it's Hestia. Sorry, I was too loud, I didn't hear you," Senju chuckled awkwardly. Hestia, who had been sulking, became curious after carefully observing William and the others' attire. "Is that Senju? Where are you all going?"

"Well, we're going on an expedition today," Senju mumbled, while Hestia looked at him strangely.

They exclaimed, "Really? You're not talking about Loki's expedition, are you?"

“It’s that one,” Senju said somewhat awkwardly, after all, Hestia and Loki didn’t get along very well, but Hestia didn’t say anything, instead asking about something else, “But you haven’t forgotten about the Gathering of the Gods, have you?”

“How could that be?” Senju chuckled dryly, then looked at Hestia seriously. “Don’t worry, I will participate. You can rest assured.”

"That's good," Hestia said, letting Senju off the hook after hearing his answer. Bell, on the other hand, was a little hesitant and came over to ask, "Are Miss Ais and the others also setting off?"

“Yes,” Senju nodded, “They should be gathering in front of the skyscraper now, but there are still a series of things to do after they gather, and we don’t know what time they will depart.”

“I see,” Bell nodded, while Lily beside him reminded him, “Lord Bell, we should also set off. Welf is still waiting for us to meet up.”

“Hmm,” Bell nodded, and then the group headed toward the skyscraper. On the way, a few of them chatted for a while, and Senju learned that Bell and the others wanted to try challenging the twelfth floor. After buying the equipment, they would challenge the middle floor.

After briefly explaining the situation in the middle level, Senju and his companion parted ways in front of the Sky Tower, where a large number of Loki Familia members had already gathered, along with many others who were watching.

However, after watching for a while, Senju noticed that Bell and the others had turned back and were heading in one direction. Senju looked over there and saw that Tsubaki was teasing Welf.

Ais, on the other side, seemed to have noticed Bell as well, and she walked over as well. Senju didn't pay attention to what was happening next, and instead joined up with Finn.

Finn paused for a moment upon seeing Senju's attire, then immediately realized, "Oh, it's Lord Senju. But this kind of outfit is just what I need to avoid some trouble."

“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Senju nodded and said seriously, “After all, everyone knows that gods can’t just enter dungeons.”

Chapter 510 Exploring the Eighteenth Floor

“Today’s goal is to reach the eighteenth floor, rest there for the night, and then rush to the fiftieth floor,” Finn said, then looked at Senju. “But I’ll have to ask Lord Senju to search there first and see if there are any hidden passages.”

“Of course,” Senju nodded, then looked at the scattered crowd around him. “I’ll go over there now and investigate the situation.”

“I’m counting on you,” Finn said solemnly to Thousand Hands, “but it would be best to bring more people with you on this investigation. I can sense the danger lurking there.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get Lila to help me,” Thousand Hands nodded. “No one is a match for her. After we’re done, I’ll be waiting for you there.”

Thousand Hands handed the flag to William, saying, "You guys follow the group forward, Lila and I will go check over there."

“Yes, but be careful,” William nodded and took the flag. Lila patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

"It's because you're here that I'm worried," William muttered to himself. Senju listened with a puzzled look, while Rila was already scolding him.

Just as Senju was about to teleport to the eighteenth floor, she saw Tsubaki pull Welf over. However, Tsubaki looked around and asked curiously, "Where's Senju? I haven't seen him anywhere."

Thousand Hands shook his head. Finn chuckled softly. "He's already gone to the eighteenth floor to investigate something. We'll be able to meet up soon."

Bell wanted to say something, but Lily pulled him aside and diverted his attention. Tsubaki was looking on with great regret, "What a pity. I was planning to introduce Welf to him. It seems I'll have to wait until after the expedition."

"Let me go, I have things to do," Welf struggled, but it was no use against Chun's power. She tapped Welf's head and sighed, "What a pity, that lord has many rare materials. Welf, you could have exchanged quite a few for them."

"Let me go," Tsubaki released Welf after he struggled for a while. "What a pity. But Welf, are you still wasting your talent? Don't you want to rely on your talent? Are you still fantasizing about surpassing the Supreme God?"

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that. When you create that masterpiece, it will definitely amaze you," Welf walked away confidently. Bell, who was next to him, also called out to Ais, "Miss Ais, I wish you a safe expedition."

After saying that, Belle and Lily left. Senju shook his head, found a secluded spot, and teleported Lila directly to the eighteenth floor. On the ground, Tsubaki was still wondering, "By the way, who was that just now? Where did they go?"

After being teleported to the eighteenth floor, Senju found himself in the wooden hut he had built. The area was all forest, and it seemed like no one had ever been there before. Lila looked around and said, "Oh, what a new sight! This dungeon is quite interesting."

“Well, this is one of the few safe floors, and it’s rich in all kinds of crystals,” Thousand Hands gave Lila a brief introduction, but after seeing the crystal dome outside, she still sighed for a while. “So, where is that secret passage you mentioned? Do you want me to destroy all the surrounding walls?”

"No need, just protect me," Senju said, sweating slightly. He then summoned a swarm of Weeks that flew in all directions, passing through...

Find the different places inside the surrounding rock walls.

Thousand Hands waited there, and a screen from Projection Number Six appeared before them, showing the scenes that various Weeks had seen. Some had flown into the rock wall, where the screen was completely dark, while others had flown to the upper and lower levels.

Lila, on the other hand, sat to the side, keeping watch for any enemies that might appear.

Several tens of minutes later, Senju noticed that Weeks on the nearest rock wall had reacted. They had found a passage there, with magic stone lamps illuminating the walls. Senju controlled Weeks to move forward along the passage.

However, after flying for a while, a sword suddenly flew out from one side of the passage and blasted Weeks to pieces. Thousand Hands also lost signal immediately.

“Looks like there are some really powerful people inside,” Senju nodded. Lila, who was standing to the side, also looked over with interest. Senju looked up and said, “I’ll lure those people over here in a bit, and then I’ll leave it to you to subdue them.”

“Hmm, leave it to me,” Lila said, drawing her holy sword, but after thinking for a moment, she replaced it with a wooden stick.

Then, Thousand Hands summoned a large number of Weeks, which flew towards the wall. However, the people inside seemed to have been awakened as well, and many mages used magic to probe for enemies in the surrounding area.

They soon discovered that the monsters were flying in directly from the surrounding walls. "Damn it, how can there be such monsters that can penetrate super-hard metal?"

"Don't worry, although it's strange, this kind of monster is very weak. It can be dealt with with one sword. But we need to find the source first."

"That's right, this kind of monster is too threatening. I don't want to be killed while I'm sleeping."

As the number of Weeks increased, Thousand Hands also saw the scene over there. In the passage, only a man in sunglasses with a gun was casually killing Weeks who were flying out, while a bunch of people were watching the show behind him.

After taking a look, Thousand Hands controlled Weeks to infiltrate the underground. However, the burly man suddenly slammed his gun into the wall, and many of the Weeks that flew into the plane were killed by the shock. Only a few escaped the attack, but a while later, these surviving Weeks were also eliminated.

"Not bad, but it's not very useful," Thousand Hands kept summoning Weeks and sending them flying inside. After a while, the place became a Weeks' nest. The people inside tried to retreat, but the Weeks relentlessly pursued them, so they had no choice but to desperately try to eliminate these locust-like Weeks.

After a while, Weeks broke through the defenses and entered a huge space about 100 meters high. There were many holes in the surrounding walls, which looked very strange.

However, there were many cages on the ground to the side, containing many miserable monsters. Just as Senju was about to go over, he discovered that Weeks had died in the line of duty.

However, the Weeks who found their target converged in that direction, forming a black whirlwind. Soon, Senju discovered that the cages contained beings that resembled both humans and beasts; these must be heretics.

Weeks's modus operandi also made it clear to the other party that this was not a natural monster. "Damn it, this is a monster controlled by someone."

“Not bad,” the man in sunglasses carrying a gun calculated for a moment, “It’s probably a new awakened monster. It shouldn’t be far from here, and the summoned monster is so weak. It should be hiding on the eighteenth floor. Let’s go and meet that monster!”

“Yes,” a group of subordinates replied, while the man in sunglasses gave instructions, “This time, we must go all out and eliminate the Loki Familia before it appears.”

Chapter 511 Wisdom Loses to Cheating

The man in sunglasses walked out with ease, carrying a crimson spear. Although the magic he had just used was strange, in terms of ability, it was no match for an ordinary rabbit.

However, this magic is strange; it might have been done by an adventurer. If so, we could pull him in, since the magic we used earlier was so convenient for searching for monsters.

Thousand Hands left Weeks here, but then noticed that Weeks saw someone rushing out. Several Weeks burst out from under the ground, and then Thousand Hands saw the rock wall crack open, revealing a new door.

After a group of people came out from that side, they saw small monsters flying directly over from nearby. Without saying a word, the group rushed against the flow of monsters.

"Lila, keep an eye on the surroundings. I'm going to deal with them," Senju said, creating a clone. "I'll leave the main body to you."

“Leave it to me,” Lila said, glancing curiously at Hashirama before continuing to keep watch.

After Hashirama ran out, he immediately used magic, "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

A gigantic humanoid figure, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared. Hashirama stood on its shoulder, while the wooden figure ran towards the door, the roaring sound along the way attracting the attention of many people.
