Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

If she fights with all her might, I'm afraid I won't be able to last more than a few rounds... Beth thought to herself.

The two of them ordered a table full of delicious food at the hotel. After eating their fill, they returned to the room, sat and chatted for a while. Although it was still early, they both went to bed.

An afternoon of simulated battle left Beth exhausted, having depleted her magic power, and Ando Meiko also needed to conserve her energy and keep herself in perfect condition before entering the lower level.

The next day, after replenishing their water and buying a lot of bread and dry food, the two of them headed directly to their destination, the underground level of Soulshang.

The Soul-Slaying Underground is a super-large dungeon, which is buried deep underground with a total of nine floors. The environment of each floor alternates with each other and the combat power increases layer by layer, especially the fifth floor, which has been explored for more than half, and the combat power begins to increase exponentially.

The entrance to the Soul-Shattering Dungeon was barricaded with security guards. Meiko Ando and Beth both had the Platinum Adventurer ID cards that had been commissioned for the exploration, so they easily entered the underground floor.

The exploration of the underground layer has reached the end of the sixth layer. Because the difficulty is too high, many people have given up exploring and turned to scoop up some soup on the upper layer.

After all, the monsters in the underground layer can be resurrected unlimitedly. As long as you go to the level you can accept to fight, you can obtain valuable magic cores and sell them to make a lot of money.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 32: I Was Just Scared

Before coming here, Meiko Ando spent a gold coin to buy all the maps of the first to fifth floors in the Adventurer's Guild, plus some small information about exploration.

This information includes the terrain of each floor, the types and combat strength of monsters, and the magic they cast, but the most important information for Ando Meiko is not this.

At the deepest part of each floor, which is the so-called boss room, there is a crystal ball. As long as you record your magical aura on it, you can be teleported to any floor where you have also recorded your aura.

This makes exploration much more convenient. No wonder the strategy team was able to conquer the sixth floor in less than half a year. It turns out that this function allows them to not have to repeat the strategy every time they leave. They only need to penetrate deep into the first floor to be directly teleported to the sixth floor.

For an unfamiliar underground layer, the initial work is naturally to explore, draw maps, and collect some relevant information about monsters.

Meiko Ando bought all the information on the first five floors at once. It can be said that she was standing on the shoulders of her predecessors, which greatly reduced the difficulty of exploring the first few floors and saved a lot of time.

This was her first time entering the so-called underground layer. Even though she had been through many battles, she was still a little nervous about entering a place she had only seen in novels, animations, and games.

Compared to her, Beth had it much easier. After all, when she was a child, she had followed the elders of the clan into the underground to explore and obtain resources.

Beth noticed Ando Meiko's nervousness. Although she didn't understand why someone as powerful as Ando Meiko was nervous about the basement, she still reached out and gently held the latter's hand.

The soft touch in her hand made Meiko Ando's tense body relax slightly. She took a deep breath and stepped into the basement door with Beth.

The surrounding environment is not as dark as imagined. There are many fluorescent stones that can glow on their own hidden in the bricks that make up the underground layer. The brightness is almost as bright as a small light bulb.

"Be careful." During her first exploration, Ando Meiko moved forward slowly and cautiously.

After turning the first corner, several figures like those in a horror movie blocked the aisle. They were skeletons whose bodies were made up of white bones, and they were holding big bone clubs in their hands.

Even if Meiko Anten herself is not afraid of horror movies or games, she will inevitably be frightened by such real scenes when experiencing them in person. Meiko Anten is the best example.

She even forgot that she possessed great strength. When she saw the skeleton running towards her, she screamed in fear and quickly hid behind Beth.

Beth was stunned. She looked at the skeletons in front of her and casually chanted a spell to send out a small fireball. The fireball hit the skeletons who didn't know how to dodge and burned them into nothingness in an instant, leaving only a few crystals scattered on the ground.

When Beth saw Anten Meizi's expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I didn't expect that you, Meizi, who is so powerful, would be afraid of this kind of thing."

"I'm just, just seeing these for the first time, and I was scared." Seeing that the skeleton man had been killed by Beth, Anten Meiko straightened her back and said awkwardly.

Once you've seen it, you get used to it, and once you're used to it, you won't be afraid anymore. On the next first level, the two of them looked at the map and moved forward at a very fast speed.

Facing those undead creatures that were only as strong as a first-level monster, they didn't even need to fight. They could just isolate them with the defensive magic Glazed Shield that Anten Meiko casually cast.

The boss on the first floor is the evolved version of the skeleton man, a skeleton horse with the strength of a level three monster. This skeleton horse is burning with blue flames all over its body and runs as fast as lightning, but it is not in the eyes of these two people.

Before it could run, Beth used the magic swamp mixed with earth and water to sink it, and then used the magic ice cone fused with water and wind to successfully kill it like a sniper.

The moment the skeleton horse's death core fell out, the originally dim crystal ball at the end of the room burst into brilliant colorful light, which almost enveloped the entire room, dazzling and glaring.

"This must be the teleportation crystal mentioned in the intelligence." The two walked up to the crystal ball and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, they placed their hands on it and slowly injected their magic power into it.

A magic circle suddenly appeared under the crystal ball, wrapping Anten Meiko and the other person in it. The next moment, their figures disappeared, and the light of the crystal ball dimmed again.

The two of them didn't notice that the magic core they didn't pick up turned into magic power and merged into the ground. As the liquid on the ceiling began to wriggle, a skeleton horse fell to the ground again, and its feet stomped on the ground, making a roar like bones rubbing against each other.

With a flicker of light, Meiko Anten and Beth were teleported to the second floor together. The space on the second floor was still a cemetery like the first floor, but compared to the first floor, there were light green ghost lights floating out from time to time.

The guardian creatures wandering around the second floor are no longer just simple skeletons, but more of the evolved forms of skeletons, mainly skeleton soldiers wearing armor and holding blades.

But this is at best a level 2 monster. The final boss is a Skeleton Knight, who looks like a combination of a Skeleton Horse and a Skeleton Soldier, but the Skeleton Knight holds a three-meter-long bone lance instead of a sword.

Beth also easily dealt with this fourth-level Warcraft Skeleton Cavalry in the same way she dealt with the Skeleton Horse.

They were teleported again through the crystal ball and soon arrived at the third floor. The space on the third floor was different from the previous two floors. The theme of the third floor was forest.

There are no walls in the forest to restrict you, so you can find your way around. However, the tree monsters hiding in the trees will show no mercy, not to mention that there are many insect-shaped third-level monsters around.

Once humans approach, they will immediately transform into invisible killing machines and pounce on them fearlessly until they have eaten up everything that has entered their territory.

Compared with the second layer, the third layer's strength changes more in quantity than in level. In order to make people take the right path instead of cheating by going directly through the forest, the tree monsters hidden in the forest are even all level five monsters.

Of course, this is nothing to Meiko Anten who has a map. When a maze has a route map, the word "maze" in the maze has no meaning.

No matter how many level three monsters there are, they actually pose no threat to An Teng Meizi. Before she was promoted to the advanced level, she had already killed a lot of these monsters, which were equivalent to general-level void beasts.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 33: Air Wall

When you reach the fourth floor, there are fourth-level monsters joining in, which shows how difficult it is. The complexity of the maze is even greater, and there are even many traps.

The most important thing is to follow the instructions on the route map. You must step on these traps. If you simply take a detour, you will never get to the real road.

It is precisely for this reason that the fourth level consumes even more manpower, material resources and time than the first three levels combined.

Of course, most of these traps are mainly pits, rope nets, and ground spikes, which are not fatal. The reason why they are set up on the main road of the maze is more to confuse people and make it difficult for them to distinguish the real route.

If it was the first time for Ando Meiko, she might have been confused by these traps and walked towards the road without traps, but now she had a map in her hand that she bought at a high price.

Finding the route was no longer difficult. Even if there were countless attacking insects along the way, they were all killed by Ando Meiko.

Ever since she experienced the Queen Insect Extermination War in her own world, Ando Meiko had a deep hatred for these insect-shaped monsters. She was merciless when she attacked them. Beth didn't even have a chance to make a move on the entire fourth floor.

After defeating the fourth floor's final boss, the level five ancient tree monster, the two did not move forward, but sat down and began to recuperate.

With the help of maps and intelligence, they broke through the first four levels in one go. According to the watch worn by Ando Meiko, a full 36 hours had passed.

During this period, the two of them could be said to have been moving forward without sleep. Ando Meiko was the body of destiny. Like other magical girls, she could use magic power to convert into physical strength, but mental fatigue was irreplaceable.

This was even more true for Beth, as she didn't even have the means to convert magic power into physical strength. So after defeating the tree demon, even though she only used 20% of her magic power, her body and mind were already exhausted.

This is also the reason why Meiko Ando did not let Beth take any action during the exploration of the fourth floor.

"Let's take a break." After saying that, Ando Meiko patted the brocade bag on her chest, and several things flew out of the storage space and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, even though she was dragging her tired body, Beth couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation in her eyes.

"Go get a sleeping bag and sleep. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Beth did not refuse the suggestion. She took one of the sleeping bags, walked to the wall, spread it out, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Meiko Ando looked at Beth, whose breathing gradually became calm and she had fallen asleep. She deliberately slowed down her movements and prolonged the cooking time a little.

As soon as the boss battle begins, the door to the boss room will close and no one else will be allowed to enter. According to the information she obtained, although the boss in the deepest room will be resurrected infinitely, as long as the person who defeated it stays in the room and does not leave, it will not be resurrected, and people outside will not be able to enter.

Although it was very unfriendly to the adventurers outside, for the sake of her and Beth's subsequent exploration, Ando Meiko could only say sorry.

Five hours later, she woke Beth up and they had a delicious meal together. Beth's mental state had fully recovered.

Ando Meiko also took this opportunity to rest for more than three hours. After she woke up from her sleep, the two of them touched the crystal ball again and teleported to the fifth level space.

Everything around had completely changed. The original three or four-layer forest terrain had turned into a world composed of flames and magma. It was filled with a strong fire attribute, and even the air felt unusually hot.

It felt as if the entire respiratory tract would be burned immediately if inhaled.

The route map of this world of fire on the fifth floor is very simple. It is a straight line that goes directly to the end. Of course, even without a map, Ando Meiko can see it.

Because they were surrounded by lava and fire walls, the only rocky ground they could move on was a straight path under their feet. Of course, this path was indeed spacious, enough to provide them with the space they needed for fighting.

After just a quick observation, the intention of this level is already very clear. You can fight while passing the level, and it is no longer a maze like the previous four levels.

With such a design, it's no wonder that the difficulty soars sharply from the fifth level. However, as long as you are faster, you should be able to skip the battle directly.

Ando Meizi thought so, she turned around and said to Beth: "Later we will rush over with all our speed, and try to avoid fighting and conserve our strength."

"Okay." Beth nodded in agreement. The cloak and boots on the special suit "Rainbow" all emitted a light blue light. Three wind-attribute magic spells were cast at the same time, combining into flying magic.

The wings behind Ando Meiko spread out, the two nodded to each other, and then flew out at the same time. Ando Meiko was the fastest. She was two or three body lengths ahead of Beth and her speed was still increasing.

Roar!

With a roar, a huge dark red insect suddenly emerged from the magma. The eight scarlet eyes on its head were particularly terrifying, and its shell-like body was covered with rows of black barbs.

The level 5 Warcraft Lava Worm is equivalent to the final boss of the level. Unexpectedly, it would become a soldier blocking their progress at this time.

It opened its huge mouth and sprayed out countless lava fireballs, which shot towards Ando Meiko and the other person who were flying like raindrops, with a terrifying and shocking momentum.

砰

Suddenly, Ando Meiko felt her head hit something. She felt dizzy and painful, and her whole body began to twitch subconsciously.

Seeing this, Beth hurriedly braked in mid-air. She immediately turned around and used the Feng Shui attributes to cast an ice shield of ice magic to block the countless fireballs flying towards her.

Despite trying their best to inject magic power into the ice shield, the ice wall was still smashed into pieces. Just as the fireball was about to hit the two of them head-on, a screen of light suddenly appeared.

The light shield is composed of several pentagons. It is the defensive magic created by Ando Meiko, the Glazed Shield.

She covered her swollen head, endured the pain that almost made her faint, and barely cast a defensive spell to protect herself and Beth.

She looked back and saw nothing there, but when she reached out to touch it, she found that the force of space here had twisted into a wall.

"Damn it, there's an air wall here. Luckily I'm strong, otherwise I would have almost died from it." Meiko Ando said angrily, shaking her head.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 34: Attribute Restraint

This air wall is not a real wall, but a transparent space wall created by the laws of space and distorted space. If it does not have the laws of space itself, it is impossible to penetrate this wall even with space magic.

This dungeon was designed with great care. The purpose of doing so was to directly isolate people from the opportunity to sprint to the end with all their strength, forcing them to fight.

He had just fought a fierce battle with a level 5 monster, the final boss, on the fourth floor, and now he was blocked by an air wall and had to fight a level 5 lava worm.

Perhaps it was for this reason that there were such a large number of casualties on the fifth floor, so that they had to be cautious when exploring the sixth floor.

"Damn it! The intelligence didn't mention an air wall, just that we had to fight. I was wondering what problem couldn't be solved by just charging through, but I didn't expect it to be the law of space."

An Teng Meizi had a lot of memories about the laws of space in her mind, so she knew it very well and did not use the domain to copy the space and move through it.

"Since that's the case, let's fight!" Rubbing the big bump on her head, Meiko Anten quickly withdrew the glass shield.

The two of them seemed to have telepathy, and the moment the shield disappeared, they moved in two directions at the same time. Water magic shot out from the wand in Beth's hand and rushed straight towards the lava worm's body.

But the lava worm just twisted its body, and immediately a huge wave of lava rose up, swallowing all the water magic while slamming towards the direction where Beth was.

The reason why the lava worm is difficult to deal with is not only because it is a level five magical beast, but also because its body is surrounded by countless magma, and it can also use magic to control flames and magma to attack.

It is powerful and has the advantage of the field. Although this does not make the lava worm comparable to the sixth-level monster, it is already hard to find an opponent at the same level.

Of course, the advantages of lava worms may be very difficult for ordinary people, but they are nothing to Anten Meiko and the others because they can both fly.

Even though Beth needs a lot of magic power to maintain the flying magic, this consumption is not unbearable with the help of the suit attributes.

To deal with the pure fire attribute monster, Beth did not use fusion magic this time, but also used pure water attribute magic, because only in this way can the fire attribute be perfectly restrained.

"Beth! Shoot a water ball at me!" Anten Meiko, who was flying in the air, shouted, and at the same time summoned a water-attribute spear recorded in the arsenal.

The Fire Demon series of weapons are of the best quality in the arsenal, but as fire-attribute weapons, they are not very effective against fire-attribute monsters.

Almost everyone who has played the game knows that attribute restraint is a very important entry-level foundation.

Although Beth was a little confused about what Anten Meizi said, she still swung her wand and shot a magic water ball with not much power at Anten Meizi.

She stretched out her hand and crushed the water ball directly. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and time seemed to slow down in her eyes. She could see all the water droplets flying in the air.

Just like those ascetics in Chinese novels who suddenly had an epiphany, Meiko Andeng also had a sudden realization in the splash of water. The image that immediately flashed through her mind was not a water ball or splash of water, but a fire truck.

The high-pressure water column that was enough to put out the fire was exactly what Meiko Anten needed at this moment.

She injected her magic power into the waves of the water-attributed spear, and used it as a magic wand to point it forward. The magic power suddenly compressed in the spear, and a high-pressure water column with a diameter of two meters was ejected from the tip.

This diameter might be like a toothpick to the void beast that Anten Meizi had faced before, but unfortunately, this lava worm was only ten meters long, and the high-pressure water jet sprayed on its body instantly soaked it like a drowned chicken.

Water vapor continued to evaporate, and the surrounding lava soon became dark and hard due to the drastic drop in temperature. The shell of the lava worm also became fragile due to the sudden temperature difference.

It sensed something and immediately turned around to try to shake away the solidified lava, but how could Meiko Anten and Beth give it this opportunity?

Meiko Anten threw the spear directly and injected a lot of magic power into it. The spear did not hit the lava worm, but fell beside it and exploded instantly.

The explosion was accompanied by a torrential downpour of water that swept out violently, causing the magma around the lava worm to completely solidify into pitch-black rock.
