Wrong, my props refresh every day

Thunder rumbles from the sky, a single strike is a sure kill! !

Chapter 37 Monster distribution in the middle level!

"Wow, that's amazing. Is this... equivalent to lightning magic without chanting?"

Witnessing the shocking scene of Xingjian striking out thunder and lightning, Miss Liu couldn't help but show surprise on her face and spoke with great surprise.

In the world of the underworld, magic is indeed extremely powerful and can cause devastating damage to monsters, but its disadvantages are also extremely obvious. Each casting requires a long chanting time. Once interrupted during this period, not only will the magic fail, but the person himself will also be in danger.

However, at this moment, the magic item in Xingjian's hand, which looked like a taiko instrument, broke the rules and released such violent lightning without chanting magic.

It's incredible.

"Is it the Thunder Demon Sword?"

The only thing that came to Ms. Liu's mind was Ms. Tsubaki of the Hephaestus family who created a magic sword that looked like a musical instrument.

However, Xingjian raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile and said:

"This is not a magic sword. A magic sword will break, but my thunder drum won't."

The intensity of the lightning energy released by the thunder drum is actually closely related to Xingjian's own magic power. As long as his mental strength is strong enough, he can even mobilize the power of natural lightning and bring down a devastating attack.

How can such magic be compared to ordinary magic swords?

"It's really... incredible." Liu said in disbelief.

In fact, Liu had a feeling because the black-haired boy in front of her exuded a mysterious aura and the tools he used were beyond her understanding of the world.

The boy's hometown is not here, but from another distant and mysterious world.

However, even so, after a long time together, the boy has occupied an important place in her heart and has become the person she cherishes most after Alisha.

So no matter what the boy's identity is, Liu can accept it unconditionally.

After breaking through the difficult tenth floor, Liu and Xingjian moved on to deeper levels and soon entered the eleventh and twelfth floors.

These two floors are the most difficult places in the upper area. The number of orcs and silverback apes has increased exponentially. Not only that, there is a certain probability that extremely dangerous and rare monsters will be born on this floor.

Fortunately, with the help of Miss Liu, the two of them fought for two hours and finally reached the edge of the stairs leading to the 13th floor from the 12th floor.

Seeing that they were about to enter the middle level, Miss Liu suggested:

We are about to enter the middle level. It is better to rest for a while in a safe room nearby and then go to the middle level after adjusting.

Because starting from the middle level, the frequency of monster refreshes will be several times that of the upper levels. Countless new adventurers who enter the middle level for the first time will fail because they cannot adapt to the frequency of monster refreshes.

Xingjian accepted Miss Liu's suggestion, and both of them stayed in a safe place to make some adjustments.

-

After arriving at a relatively safe room, Miss Liu gently put down the bag in her hand, squatted down, and searched in the bag with both hands.

After a while, she took out several packages of food wrapped in clean handkerchiefs. There was freshly baked bread, which exuded the aroma of wheat, and some perfectly salted dried meat with an attractive color.

"Mr. Xingjian, eat something to replenish your energy."

"Okay, thank you Miss Liu."

Xing Jian reached out to take it, and his fingertips inadvertently slid across Miss Liu's palm. At that moment, it was like a subtle electric current passing through, and Miss Liu's ears suddenly became unusually red.

"Miss Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Xingjian noticed something strange, his eyes full of surprise, and he couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's nothing."

Miss Liu hurriedly avoided Xingjian's gaze. In order to dispel the somewhat embarrassing ambiguous atmosphere, she hurriedly cleared her throat and changed the subject:

"Mr. Hoshimi, starting from the middle level, monsters completely different from those in the upper levels will appear. I will summarize them now, so please listen carefully."

"it is good."

Ms. Liu quickly took out the magic stone quill from her backpack and began to explain in detail on the parchment:

"First, we might encounter the Hellhound, a dog-like monster. It's large, covered in flames, and capable of spitting high-temperature flames. Its flames can easily melt ordinary armor, posing a deadly threat to adventurers."

"I know. When Lord Hephaestus learned that I was going to the middle level, he ordered Miss Tsubaki to prepare the [Fire Spirit Cloak] for me."

As Xingjian said this, he took out a crimson cloak from the other dimension.

This is the foundation of a large family. The fire-resistant artifacts that cost up to millions of faris in the Tower of Babel are actually in the hundreds and thousands in the treasure house of the Hephaestus family.

"Well, then there's the Crystal Mantis. Its characteristic is that its body is made of crystal. It has extremely high physical defense, but is relatively vulnerable to magical attacks. It mainly inhabits the 15th floor and is often attracted to minerals. It moves swiftly and has a wide attack range. The way to deal with it is to use magic or powerful armor-piercing weapons to quickly destroy it, otherwise it will easily be cut by its sharp crystal sickle. However, the lightning magic generated by your [Thunder Drum] can kill it instantly, so there is no need to worry."

Today's star sighting is extremely lucky.

The air cannon is a physical attack, and has little effect on the Crystal Mantis, which has extremely high defense. However, the lightning generated by the [Thunder Drum] drawn a few hours ago can just restrain the Crystal Mantis's defense.

"Then there's the Songbird, a golden-winged bird monster that inhabits the hollow areas of the middle layer. It specializes in high-frequency sonic attacks, capable of blasting adventurers' eardrums and even causing dizziness through reflected sound waves. It often moves in groups and is very abrupt. We need to cover our ears or use sonic immunity beforehand, and quickly escape its attack range."

As Ms. Liu spoke, she took off her backpack and pulled out a pair of specially made earplugs. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she said, "This was specially made for Ms. Tsubaki at Ms. Xier's request. The purpose... you know, it's to prevent us from hearing any noises when Anya sings."

A certain stupid cat in the tavern had a terrifying voice, so terrible that even Mia's mother couldn't stand it...

"Next is the Horned Rabbit. It's a monster with white fur and a single, pointed horn. While it looks cute, don't be fooled. As a single monster, it might be the weakest in the mid-levels. Even a mid-level LV1 adventurer can handle it alone, but when they gather in groups, they become more terrifying than any single monster."

"But don't worry, Mr. Xingjian. As soon as they show their heads, my [Wind of Light] will instantly scatter them."

Xingjian nodded.

A second-level adventurer is particularly reassuring.

"Next is the tiger claw. Its characteristics are similar to those of an ordinary tiger. Its speed and strength are extremely strong. Its sharp claws can easily penetrate third-level adventurer armor. However, you are wearing the second-level adventurer armor made by Miss Tsubaki, which can block several attacks."

Xingjian looked down at his equipment.

This outfit is worth millions of faris and is the full support of the Hephaestus family for this super newcomer. This heritage and love make him confident in this dangerous dungeon.

"at last……"

Miss Liu paused for a moment, her expression growing more serious as she wrote heavily on the parchment:

"Finally, there's the Enhanced Minotaur. It's a minotaur warrior that walks upright. Aside from the Floor Master, it's the strongest monster. It's enormous, and its strength, durability, and speed are all at the peak of a Level 2. If it picks up a human weapon, it will immediately learn how to use it in an attack. Monsters like this require the cooperation of several high-level adventurers or a team to defeat."

"I understand."

Thanks to Ms. Liu's detailed monster mini-class, Hoshimi finally understood all the monsters that existed in the middle level.

Starting from the middle level, the novice protection color of the upper level has faded. It is no longer a place where children can live out their adventurer dreams, but a real nightmare place in the dungeon, full of dangers everywhere.

Even though Xingjian has the blue fat man's magical props and Miss Liu's protection, he is still not allowed to be careless and must be cautious with every step.

Chapter 38 Malice from the Dungeon

On the 13th floor of the dungeon, without the misty area of ​​the 10th to 12th floors, the space inside the cave is much wider and very open. The tall dome is like the throat of a giant beast, appearing particularly oppressive in the dim light.

The surrounding cave walls are winding and covered with irregular bumps and depressions.

The light in the cave was dim, and the faint light flickered in the cave, illuminating only a small area around it, leaving most of the space shrouded in shadow.

At this moment, the air was filled with the smell of burning and blood.

"Miss Liu, there are three more on the left!"

Hoshimi yelled, his voice echoing through the cave.

The elf girl's figure swept past like a gust of wind, and the wooden sword in her hand drew an elegant and deadly arc. The hellhound in the front fell to the ground, and hot flames spewed out of its throat.

But more hellhounds emerged from the shadows of the cave, their bodies pitch black, molten saliva dripping from their fangs, and their scarlet eyes like moving embers in the darkness.

"That's too many."

"This is the middle level, Mr. Xingjian, be careful."

Miss Liu quickly retreated and stood back to back with Xing Jian. Her lake-blue eyes scanned the dozens of hellhounds, "Leave the first ten to me, and the rest to you."

Xingjian licked his dry lips and raised his right hand to quickly beat the thunder drum.

"Bang!" A deafening sound rang out, and a flash of lightning, like a spear thrown by a god, hit the group of hellhounds rushing in the front.

Amidst the deafening thunder, the leading hellhound instantly turned into charcoal, and the rest were overturned by the shock wave.

But Xingjian could feel the magic power in his body rapidly draining away.

Currently, he is only at LV1, and his luck value is quite low. Even though he can draw new items every day, most of them are "useless", and even the blue fat man dislikes them and wants to throw them away.

For example, the [Fighting Gloves] are a prop similar to boxing gloves. Once you put them on, you can hit your own face at will, or even fight with yourself.

There are also "Invisible Eye Drops." After using these eye drops, you become unable to see other people, but you can see yourself in the mirror. Besides being unable to see people, other objects can also be seen.

There are even umbrellas that rain when you open them.

As the name suggests, the umbrella will bring endless rain as long as it is opened.

Umbrellas were originally invented to protect against rain, but this counterintuitive umbrella completely overturns the definition of an umbrella. So, in normal life, who would use an umbrella specifically for rain? Would they enjoy a walk in the rain with Miss Liu on a sunny day?

It's just flying props.

Therefore, Xingjian was particularly excited to draw a weather-attack item, so he used it in this rescue operation to test its power.

Only after having a rough understanding of the power can Xingjian use this kind of props well, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they fail at the critical moment.

Currently, there are only two types of Xingjian long-range attacks.

One is the wind pressure shock wave emitted by the air cannon, which is an attack force.

One is to beat the thunder drum to create a "thunder attribute" magic similar to the ground error.

The Thunder Drum is much more powerful than the Air Cannon, but the disadvantage of this large-scale attack is that it consumes too much magic power.

"Mr. Hoshimi, please use it sparingly."

Miss Liu seemed to have noticed Xingjian's condition. The wooden sword in her hand was like a living thing. She quickly killed a hellhound and said:

"I'll lead the way, and you'll be responsible for the cover."

Xingjian nodded, quickly adjusted his breathing, put the thunder drum back into the other dimension, then drew the one-handed sword from his waist and put on the air cannon with his left hand.

While changing her equipment, Miss Liu had already rushed out. Her speed was so fast that she almost left an afterimage. The tip of her sword accurately pierced the eye of a hellhound, and then she quickly withdrew to avoid the spurting flames.

Then a hellhound pounced on Miss Liu from the side. Xing Jian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and the wind pressure shock wave instantly crushed the jumping hellhound.

Miss Liu seized the opportunity and kicked the other hellhound against the rock wall with a roundhouse kick, and then pierced its throat with a sword.

"The monsters in the middle are indeed more difficult to deal with than those in the upper levels."

Xingjian panted as he spoke, then stabbed a sneak attacking hellhound in the jaw with one hand, and at the same time raised his air cannon to release a shockwave to repel another. "Not only are there so many of them, but they can even coordinate their long-range attacks as a team. No wonder so many adventurers are defeated."

Ms. Liu ran quickly, her hair curling slightly due to the heat. "That's right, I can't let Mr. Hoshimi come to the middle floor alone."

After killing another hellhound, I didn't expect that the monsters here would refresh very quickly. More hellhounds were pouring in from all over the cave, and even a large number of unicorn rabbits appeared.

"Mr. Hoshimi, move away."

Liu suddenly shouted, muttering something at the same time.

"—The now-distant forest vault. The infinite stars studded within the endless night sky respond to my voice, as foolish as I am, and grant me the protection of the stars once again. Showing light and mercy to those who have abandoned you—Come, wandering wind, wandering traveler. Fly across the sky, gallop across the wilderness, speeding past all things. Embrace the brilliance of the stars to conquer your enemies."

When the magic spell came to an end, the air behind Miss Liu formed into materialized green wind bombs, each only the size of a fist, but emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

Under Miss Liu's control, the first three green wind bombs were fired in a triangular shape, accurately hitting the center of the forehead of the hellhound in the front.

"Pfft!"

The wind bullet didn't explode the moment it made contact, instead piercing directly into the skull like a hot knife through butter. The hellhound's body convulsed violently, and then its ugly head swelled and exploded from the inside, green energy gushing out from all seven orifices.

The headless corpse ran forward two steps before collapsing to the ground.

The remaining hellhounds were enraged and breathed out fire at the same time.

Liu's figure suddenly blurred. With the flexibility unique to elves, she leaned back to the ground, supporting herself with her left hand while controlling wind magic.

Seven emerald wind bombs scattered in a fan shape, each of which accurately passed through the gaps in the flames and hit the hellhound's open bloody mouth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Muffled sounds came from the monsters' bodies, their chests bulged like over-inflated balls, and then green light burst out from the gaps between their scales.

At the same time, the three unicorn rabbits hiding in the dark finally launched a sneak attack.

They swooped down from the sky in a triangular formation, their horns shredding the air with a sharp roar.

"Disperse."

Five miniature wind bullets hidden in the fingertips shot out, drawing green arcs in the air.
