Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"Dang~"

The Blood Jade Unicorn raised its axe to block and retreated, but such an action would only completely expose its weakness.

Su Mo swung the axe away with one sword. He was extremely aggressive, and his desire to exchange injury for life was clearly revealed in his attacks, one sword faster than the other.

"Chi~"

The sword failed to cut the blood jade unicorn horn, and the sword tip turned and slashed towards the neck of the blood jade unicorn rabbit.

The sword blade cut the side of the neck, bringing out a stream of bright red blood.

"Ow~"

"You've really become a lot weaker."

The magic stone shattered, the blood jade horn was retracted and dimmed, and the strength of the unicorn rabbit was almost reduced to one tenth of what it was.

The Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit naturally would not respond. At this moment, it was already trying its best to avoid the deadly sword.

But paying too much attention to the sword's edge was itself a kind of negligence. He leaned forward and barely avoided the cold sword blade that was so close to him, but suddenly a sharp pain came from his calf.

The spike has been fired.

The claw nail half penetrated into the calf of the Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit. It was a pity that it couldn't penetrate completely, but it was enough.

Su Mo grabbed the wire and pulled it hard, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The severe pain and pulling caused the Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit, whose center of gravity was already unstable, to stagger and fall to the ground.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

In the distance, hearing the leader's call, many horned rabbits began to return to the inner room and were rushing over through the smoke.

Their speed was not slow, but the sword in Su Mo's hand was obviously faster, and one sword completely broke through the defense...

"Ow..."

The Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit roared in anger and grief. It had nowhere to hide and no chance to get up, so it finally chopped down with an axe.

That was not an attack towards Su Mo. The axe fell directly to the ground, neither heavy nor light.

"!"

The ground trembled slightly, and then Su Mo felt his feet go empty.

"Boom..."

The earth was collapsing, and the entire cave, except for the stone base and the central pool, collapsed and fell in an instant.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows——

"Don't even think about running away."

In a flash, Su Mo, who had nowhere to get support, twisted his body and slashed at the blood jade unicorn rabbit that fell first with his sword.

"Humanity……"

The Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit raised its axe to block and grinned. It was a smile that mocked the enemy after surviving a calamity.

But just like the abrupt end of the words, this smile only lasted for a moment before it suddenly changed.

Extremely inconsistent——

I can’t understand——

The pitch-black sword edge was like a hot knife cutting through butter, splitting the wide axe blade in two.

The time at this moment seemed to be stretched a lot. In the eyes of Su Mo himself, which was somewhat confused, and in the face of the Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit's astonishment, the black sword blade cut through the axe surface without any loss of power and cleanly cut off the Blood Jade Unicorn Horn.

"How could this happen...?"

The magic stone shattered, the horn broke, and the blood-red eyes of the Blood Jade Unicorn Rabbit gradually dimmed and lost their color.

The life force of this undisputed king of unicorn rabbits was completely cut off. Its blood-stained body, like its dim pupils, began to quickly turn black, crack and shatter, and turned into ashes.

Among the scattered ashes, Su Mo saw a spot of light, and almost subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed the spot of light.

In an instant, a chill spread in his left eye, as if he had grasped something, but also as if he had grasped nothing.

Finally, I opened my palms and there was nothing on them.

"Boom..."

The sound of a heavy stone falling to the ground was heard, and Su Mo immediately collected his thoughts.

The special nail rope had not been put away. The situation was extremely urgent. Without any hesitation, Su Mo wrapped the steel nail hook around the Goddess's Sword. The next moment, he threw the Goddess's Sword towards the stone wall with all his strength.

"Bah~"

The goddess' sword penetrated a section of the stone wall.

A fulcrum that cannot be further fixed may not be so reliable, but it is already quite rare to have a chance to buffer at this time.

The steel wire was stretched straight, and Su Mo's falling momentum suddenly stopped.

Although the next moment, the upper side completely lost traction again, it was enough.

After a short buffer, although he was unable to land safely, Su Mo used a rather awkward double-speed roll to relieve some of the force the moment he landed, and in the end he did not suffer any serious injuries.

If we round it off, it's barely a problem.

Sitting up with a heavy breath, Su Mo pulled the steel wire to retrieve the Sword of the Goddess that fell not far away.

As soon as the Goddess's Sword was in hand, the sacred words on the sword began to glow.

Holding the Sword of the Goddess in front of him, Su Mo looked back and forth, examining the Sword of the Goddess carefully several times.

The sharpness of the Goddess's sword is unquestionable, but to cut off such a wide axe blade with one sword... No, that's not right, is it really cutting off, is it the effect of slashing?

Su Mo never forgot that a few days ago, he accidentally cut off an intact spear with a dagger.

Did the same thing with a different weapon?

If once was just a coincidence, what about twice?

“Squeak…squeak…squeak…”

A sharp cry sounded, followed by another sharp cry, and another sharp cry continued...

Hearing the sound, Su Mo no longer had the heart to think about anything else and immediately stood up.

Following the sound, he saw a group of embarrassed-looking horned rabbits standing up from the rubble, with pairs of blood-red eyes staring at him.

There is a stone wall behind me, with no way to retreat.

After realizing his own situation, Su Mo quickly glanced around. Magic stones were scattered everywhere, and a touch of bright red like jade was right at his feet, but these were not what he needed at the moment.

The nail rope was retracted, and the goddess's sword was slashing and picking.

The sword tip cut through the stone above, lifted up the natural axe with half of the axe blade missing from the gap between the stones, and spun it in the air before being quickly grasped by the left hand.

The adventure isn't over yet.

"Then, come on!"

The response to the whispers was the crazy screams of the unicorns...

Chapter 72 Morning

a new day

Bell ran quickly to the 'Hostes of Plenty' tavern and walked to the backyard breathlessly.

He is late today.

"You're late meow~"

In the backyard, Liu was exercising in the center, and beside the yard, Chloe, sitting on a wooden box, had obviously been waiting for a while.

"I'm so sorry!" Bell quickly bowed and apologized.

Chloe jumped off the wooden box and asked, "I heard that the convenience pot business is very good. Is the tribe very busy recently?"

The Hestia family, which is an exploration family, is based on business. Chloe naturally knew the news that the United Guild had launched the Hestia Convenient Pot.

Rather, with the flyers that were spread all over the streets and alleys, as well as the so-called opening promotion activities and the celebrations of the goddesses, only a few people in Orario were unaware of the news.

"No no!"

Bell waved his hands, "The business of the store is done by Lord God and Miss Naza, and we have hired some people. Lord God has not allowed me to go over to help. I am late today just because something happened last night, so I slept late."

"Hmm? What happened, meow?" Chloe asked subconsciously.

"The leader didn't come back from the dungeon last night. The Lord God was very worried and waited for a long time at night. I also waited with the Lord God for a while."

"now what?"

This was not Chloe's voice. Liu asked abruptly, "How is he now?"

"Last night, when the Lord God was about to go to the guild to issue an emergency search mission, the leader sent a message saying that he was fine, but he accidentally fell to the 17th floor and needed to repair himself, so he went directly to the 18th floor and would be back tonight at the latest."

"Eighteenth floor..."

Chloe's eyes widened. "He reached the eighteenth floor, meow?"

"It should be, yes."

Bell scratched his head. He was also extremely surprised when he heard the news.

After so many days of teaching, he already had a clear concept of the novice floor, upper floor, middle floor, lower floor and deep floor. Naturally, he knew more or less how difficult it was for a person to reach the eighteenth floor alone.

Risk takers shouldn’t take risks.

Not to mention the adventurers who have not yet been sublimated, even for the advanced adventurers of LV.2 and LV.3, going to the eighteenth floor alone is a difficult thing, and it is not something they would do rashly.

"one person?"

Bell nodded.

"..."

Chloe was silent.

Liu took over the conversation and calmly analyzed: "The Loki clan just started the expedition a few days ago, and the conquered floor master of the seventeenth floor should not have been reborn yet."

"Ryu, that's the 18th floor, and there's a person there meow~"

Chloe still had a look of disbelief on her face. "The dungeon will not show mercy to adventurers. Regardless of whether there is a floor master on the 17th floor or not, he was able to reach the 18th floor alone. This is already a great feat, meow~."

After all, the young man's ability has not yet been elevated, and he is not even a high-level adventurer.

This time, it was Liu's turn to remain silent.

Based on her understanding, it was indeed difficult for her to imagine how the other party had reached the eighteenth floor alone.

Luck? Magical tools? Or was it that he didn't use his full strength during the sparring?

While guessing, Liu suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is he going to come back?"

Reaching the eighteenth floor and returning from the eighteenth floor are of a completely different level of difficulty.

When returning to the surface, you cannot use the vertical landing channel.

"The captain didn't say that in the message." Bell shook his head.

"That means he should follow the main force, or be hired directly. He won't return alone..."

Chloe paused.

The boy was not stupid, nor was he stubborn, but he was quite aggressive.

He dared to go to the middle level alone without upgrading, and successfully reached the eighteenth level. Will he continue to challenge himself and choose to return alone?

It was highly unlikely, but Chloe found that she couldn't completely deny this possibility.

Being able to reach the eighteenth floor alone, even if he failed to return to the surface, he still had the option of escaping to the eighteenth floor again, and this was exactly what he had done.

What Chloe could think of, Liu naturally thought of as well.

The boy was able to advance from being weak and powerless to being on the verge of completing the upgrade in just three months. In addition to his talent and hard work, another important reason was his love of adventure and challenge.

Bell also noticed something was wrong from the two men's faces, "Could the captain be in danger?"

Chloe didn't answer him, but looked at Liu and said, "Liu, you should ask Mia's mother for leave in the next two days, right?"

Liu didn't respond, but just nodded.

"That's just on the way, meow, why not take today off and go!"
