These wind bombs are smaller and faster than before, and automatically track their targets like living things.

Two unicorn rabbits were pierced directly through the throat. The third one barely twisted its body to avoid the vital part, but was hit by a wind bullet at the base of its horn.

"Crack!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the unicorn's precious horn broke off at the root, and it let out a scream like a baby crying, and rolled around wildly after falling to the ground.

Liu didn't give it a chance to feel pain, and fired another wind bomb, nailing the rabbit-shaped monster to the crystal pillar behind it. Green energy flowed through its body and finally sprayed out through its eyes and mouth, dyeing the entire crystal pillar a pale green.

However, the unicorn horn that had been cut off before did not disappear, but turned into a dropped prop, and Xingjian stepped forward to pick it up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the last few hellhounds turned around and fled.

Miss Liu naturally wouldn't let them go.

"Rear-end."

An emerald wind bullet, twice as large as the others, slowly left the sword, hovered for half a second, and then suddenly accelerated, drawing a zigzag trajectory in the tunnel to catch up with the fleeing hellhounds.

The monster turned back in despair and was hit in the center of his eyebrows by the wind bullet.

The green energy suddenly formed a small whirlwind, shredding the remains of several hellhounds into pieces and scattering them everywhere.

When all the monsters were destroyed, the emerald light dissipated. The entire battle lasted no more than twenty seconds, and only the gradually extinguished flames and floating green light particles remained in the cave.

She turned and walked towards Xingjian, her boot heels making a slight "tapping" sound as they stepped on the pool of blood.

"The area is cleared."

"Miss Liu is really amazing."

The useless goblins were indeed at the peak of LV4. The rookie adventurers could barely handle a hellhound, but Miss Liu treated them like stray dogs on the roadside and killed them with just a couple of kicks.

After the monsters were cleared, Miss Liu used a wooden sword to cut the rock wall, reducing the frequency of monster refreshes in the dungeon.

And Xingjian also took out the [Locking Cane] from the dimensional space. The light blue gem gradually lit up, and then the upright cane fell down, pointing to a fork in the road deep in the cave.

"That direction..."

Miss Liu frowned slightly. "It's the path leading to the fourteenth floor, but it has deviated from the main route."

"Miss Nazha and the others have experience exploring the middle level. They won't make such a low-level mistake, unless... they encounter trouble."

"Well, it should be caused by [Abnormal Situation]."

Miss Liu took over.

The two followed the direction indicated by the walking stick and passed through the winding secondary tunnel.

In this area, the dungeon was remarkably quiet, with only the sounds of their footsteps and water dripping from the stalactites.

The fluorescent moss on the wall only provided a weak light source, and Xingjian could only turn on the magic stone lamp to illuminate the road ahead.

"How much mental strength have you recovered?"

"I've almost recovered. My rare [Skill] allows me to increase my magic power and restore my mental strength as long as I'm alive."

Xingjian said.

"Ah."

As the two continued to move forward, the guidance of the searching staff became stronger and stronger, and the light of the gem almost turned into a deep blue.

They turned a sharp corner and saw an open cave in front of them, but the scene before them made them both stop.

"As expected... [Floor Collapse]"

Hoshimi muttered.

The ground in the center of the cave completely collapsed, forming a huge pit with a diameter of nearly ten meters. The rocks on the edge were jagged, as if they had been broken from below by some huge force.

Rubble and crystal clusters were scattered around, and several broken ropes hung limply at the edge of the pit.

Liu quickly stepped forward and crouched down.

"The collapse has been going on for a while, which coincides with the time God Mihe mentioned for the clan's exploration."

Ms. Liu paused, "It's at least thirty meters below, and... the structure is quite unstable and could collapse at any time."

Xingjian walked to the other side of the pit and found several backpacks and a broken spear scattered on the ground, as well as a human body with all four limbs engraved with the emblem of the Mihe clan.

Xingjian activated the searching cane again.

This time, the cane pointed to the depths of the pit without hesitation, and the blue light kept flashing.

"They fell."

The probability of finding the missing cane is 70%, but considering the corresponding other items and time, Xingjian and Liu have already guessed the result.

Ms. Liu walked to the edge of the pit and stared into the darkness below. "The deeper the dungeon goes, the more dangerous it is. I wonder which floor Ms. Nazha and the others have fallen to. Moreover, because the floor collapsed, if they fall from such a height, the members of the family may be seriously injured or even killed."

Ms. Liu continued to analyze:

"Maybe he panicked and lost his way while being chased by an [unusual event], and then the ground suddenly collapsed..."

"Miss Liu, look."

While listening to Liu's analysis, Xingjian was also looking for useful clues nearby, but then his eyes were fixed on several traces on the edge of the pit.

The elf girl came to Xingjian's side and watched Xingjian pointing at a huge axe mark that appeared on the rock wall.

"Monsters on the 13th floor don't have attacks like this. This is clearly a slashing blow from a weapon."

Ms. Liu whispered, her fingers tracing the marks. "But from what I understand, the dwarven adventurers of the Mihe clan wouldn't be able to use such large axe-shaped weapons."

Xingjian and Miss Liu looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"I want to go down and take a look using a bamboo dragonfly."

Hoshimi suggested.

Previously, the spatial structure of most floors in the dungeon was not suitable for flying.

Narrow passages, dense stalactites or maze-like structures would hinder the maneuverability of flying items, so Hoshimi's bamboo dragonfly was never used in the dungeon.

But after the collapse, a vertical abyss is formed, and flight is theoretically possible.

"Don't."

Miss Liu said quickly:

"The collapsed floor may create a more chaotic terrain, such as piles of rubble and faults. These will restrict the flight of the [Bamboo Dragonfly], and it would be dangerous to go down in vain..."

Ms. Liu paused for a moment and continued:

"Furthermore, forcibly breaking through the collapsed area may trigger a counterattack from the dungeon. This is...malicious intent from the dungeon."

The dungeon does not exist simply in a geographical sense, but has consciousness and is a "living maze."

Its walls, floors and even the air may have "life reactions".

Punishment for adventurers who "cheat" usually involves using unconventional means to stop them.

In addition, the dungeon will show greater hostility towards gods and those who possess "God's Grace" (i.e. adventurers), probably because grace is "power bestowed by the gods" and the dungeon itself rejects the interference of gods.

Therefore, the guild has expressly prohibited gods from entering the dungeon, and violators will be severely punished.

After hearing Miss Liu's description, Xingjian roughly understood.

Props can be used, but if you try to "cheat" to get to each floor, it is easy to cause accidents.

Therefore, this rescue can only be carried out in the most primitive way - going down to deeper floors and exploring slowly.

Chapter 39 Mih. Family

The fourteenth floor of the dungeon is far more dangerous than rumored.

Pale purple crystal dust floated in the air, and the walls were inlaid with countless sparkling crystal clusters, reflecting a cold light.

“—Up!”

Miss Liu let out a low cry and instantly distanced herself from him.

A crystal mantis swooped down from the dome, and its six blade-like forelimbs drew a deadly arc. Xingjian rolled sideways in time, and the ground where he was standing was instantly cut with several deep marks.

The entire body of the crystal mantis appears to be carved from a single piece of amethyst, and its carapace glows with a cold hue in the dim light.

"Thunder drum."

Xingjian quickly took out the drum from the dimensional space.

The drum surface vibrated, and a dazzling golden lightning burst out, hitting the mantis's crystal torso.

Violent lightning raced across the crystal shell, and the crystal mantis let out a sharp hiss, its movements briefly stiffening. The green arrow launched by Miss Liu followed closely behind, accurately piercing its compound eyes.

The fishy body fluids spurted out and the crystal mantis fell to the ground with a bang.

If the Crystal Mantis has full physical resistance and the team does not have a wizard who can use magic, the entire team may be defeated and take turns to be beaten by the Crystal Mantis.

If it is magic, even the simplest fireball can cause good damage to the crystal mantis, and then after peeling off its defensive shell, you can hit the monster hard.

After dealing with the crystal mantis, an ethereal singing voice suddenly came from a distance.

At first it sounded like a lullaby coming from far away, so soft that it was almost inaudible, but in a flash, the sound penetrated the eardrum and went straight into the brain.

"Songbird!"

Legend has it that the death chant of the songbirds can plunge the strongest warrior into an eternal sleep. But if Anya were here, she would surely break the defenses of these songbirds and hypnotize them in return when she unleashed her voice.

After realizing that it was the sound of a singing bird, Miss Liu reacted in time, took out two wax earplugs from the leather bag at her waist and threw them to Xingjian.

Xingjian immediately put on earplugs, and the world suddenly became quiet.

As long as you are prepared for the songbird's singing, this kind of monster will not be that dangerous. Xingjian's air cannon fired continuously, shooting it down, and even exploded the [Songbird's Feather] drop item.

"Roar----!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, three giant cat-like monsters approached Hoshimi and Miss Liu in a fan shape.

When the first tiger claw launched an attack, the electric ball in Xingjian's hand drew a golden arc of light, colliding with the tiger claw's claws, sparks flying.

The monster let out a silent roar, and Xingjian could feel the vibration of the air.

After blocking the first tiger claw, the second and third tiger claws pounced at the same time, but the [Famous Sword. Electric Pill] that automatically sensed the attack responded quickly and blocked the attacks one after another.

"boom!"

An invisible shock wave erupted from the air cannon.

The three tiger claws were instantly shaken into the air and crashed into the crystal clusters on the wall. The sharp crystals pierced their fur, causing them to let out silent screams.

"The middle level isn't really a place for a LV1 adventurer."

After dealing with a group of monsters, Xingjian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the magic stones all over the ground.

"Dungeons are always like this. Even if your party has several high-level adventurers, you must be wary of the [Dungeon's Malice]. There will always be unexpected enemies."

Back then, the Astralia clan had several LV4 second-level adventurers, and even the leader, Alyse, was close to being a first-level adventurer.

But even so, the clan was still defeated by the "malice of the dungeon", and all members except Miss Liu died in the depths of the dungeon.

"Drip drip drip drip!"

At this moment, the searching cane in Xingjian's hand trembled slightly, and the tip emitted a faint blue light, and it fell stubbornly in a deep passage.

“The direction has changed.”

Xingjian whispered, then watched the light of the cane suddenly turn to the fork in the road on the left, and said:

"This time it's to the right. Miss Nazha and the others probably didn't go to the 18th floor and are still lingering on the 14th floor."

Unlike other floors, monsters will not spawn naturally on the 18th floor of the dungeon unless monsters from the upper floors break in or special events are triggered artificially. The environment there is relatively safe and adventurers can rest temporarily.

Therefore, after encountering abnormal situations such as "floor collapse", most of the clansmen will go to the safe floor on the 18th floor to rest, and then return to the surface with the main force.

Of course, this method requires a powerful clan to eliminate the lord of the 17th floor, [Attack on Titan Goliath], and put him into a deep sleep before it can be executed.

Miss Liu beside him nodded slightly, her green hair still eye-catching in the dim dungeon.

"Drip drip!!"

With a 70% chance of successfully leading Xingjian and Ms. Liu to find the right direction, the sapphire on the cane began to vibrate violently again, causing Xingjian to almost drop it from his hand.

“There’s a reaction.”

The two people followed the guidance of the [Locking Cane] and turned into a narrow side road.
