Chapter 425 Heresy

Late at night.

The 18th floor - Maze Paradise.

The white crystal covering the zenith was plunged into darkness, and the floor lost its light.

Although there will be a large number of crystals here that glow enough to illuminate the entire floor, but at night, the luster of the crystals will disappear, so there is also a "night" in this dungeon.

But the light source is not completely hidden.

The sapphire crystals that grow in various parts of the forest and the lakeside glow faintly, and a pale scene that is different from the night scene on the surface spreads out.

It only took about two hours,

Lu Ye and his party protected Wei Ni and quickly killed them all the way to the 18th floor.

Based on their familiarity with the floors these days, they chose the shortest route without hesitation, and with the help of the heartbeat detector, they successfully avoided most of the monsters lurking in the floors. Like a laxative.

After reaching the 18th floor, Lu Ye and the others went to Rivera Town without stopping.

Starting from the town, you can reach the entrance to the next floor faster.

The town of Rivera is brightly lit at night.

Some adventurers who stay in the dungeon for a long time usually need to replenish supplies here, coupled with the special attributes here, so no matter it is day or night, there are more people in the town.

On the street, some adventurers rested on the ground berths, while others gathered to play cards and drink.

Lu Ye and the others also needed to replenish some supplies.

The high-intensity rush caused everyone to lack physical strength, so they needed some food and water to fill their stomachs.

The price is naturally several times higher than that on the surface, but now is not the time to bargain, and Lu Ye is not in the mood either.

Wearing a robe, Winnie is very dangerous in the crowd. Once her identity is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.

The people here are almost all adventurers, all of them have sharp eyes, and the presence of Estes and Violet in the team already makes them attractive enough.The method from yesterday no longer worked. If the monsters appeared twice, it would be impossible to justify them.

"Thank you for your patronage, come again?"

Lu Ye paid and took the bag full of food and water from the smiling shopkeeper.

And at this moment, Violet tugged on Lu Ye's sleeve and lowered the volume.

"Well, it seems that someone is watching us..."

When not concentrating on something, Violet has a strong sense of perception.

She felt those gazes were on her back, but there were so many people here, she couldn't find anyone who cast gazes in her direction.

"I've noticed that too," Estes said. "I'm very sensitive to murderous intent. Those guys have bad intentions."

"Someone is following us?"

Hearing this, Bell looked around in panic.

But there are bright yellow optical fibers all around, as well as the faces of adventurers and their figures coming and going.

Lu Ye pressed Bell's shoulder: "Don't panic, we are being watched by people, and they will notice you if you panic."

"Yes, sorry."

"Don't say I'm sorry, knowing that changing is the most important thing."

"Well...I see."

"I know now, it seems that these guys are here for Wei Ni..." Lu Ye raised his brows, "But this is just right."

"Are you going to catch them all?" Esdeth's eyes lit up, "It's late at night, and there are basically no adventurers on the floors below. With your heartbeat detection device, you can just scan out the location of those guys. .”

But Lu Ye rejected Estes' proposal.

"No need for now, those guys are following us mostly for the 'talking monster', so they won't take it lightly. If we catch them instead, they may be escaped by the other party," Lu Ye said, "and we don't understand the other party How many people are behind it, is there any organization..."

Hearing this, the corners of Estes's mouth curled into a confident smile.

"Don't worry, I'm good at interrogation!"

"Of course I believe in your interrogation skills, but what if the other party is just a scumbag?" Lu Ye glanced at Wei Ni, "Since we want to arrest you, then catch them all. I have a good idea."

"what?"

"Let's talk about it later, after a 10-minute break, let's move on."

After finding a lively place and eating food and water, Lu Ye and his party set off again.

Passing through the town of Rivera, across the plains and forests, everyone came to the 19th floor.

The 19th floor is a big tree maze.

There are many giant trees on this floor, all of which have very high ceilings. The branches and roots are intertwined and intertwined. There are so many hiding places for monsters in the tree holes.The passage banner is also very wide, and there are clusters of unique plants around the layer, as if to confuse the wandering adventurers.

As soon as he stepped into the 19th floor, in the distance of the cave, several monsters came one after another from the spacious passage like sharks smelling like blood.

With just a snap of Esdesh's fingers, the bodies of several monsters were pierced by sharp ice crystals.

But their vitality is very tenacious, and they have not lost the ability to move for a while, and continue to rush towards Lu Ye and his party. Their sharp mouthparts and claws are shining coldly, and they can even tear iron weapons.

On the 19th floor, the strength of the monster has increased a lot.

Dungeons are like this. Humans can act in groups and formulate various tactics, but monsters also have their own advantages. Their rough skin and thick flesh can make them make many mistakes, but they leave opportunities for adventurers to make mistakes. But not many.

The human body is weak after all, even a first-level adventurer cannot withstand the direct attack of monsters.

The monsters move quickly, and among them are high-mobility monsters like the "unicorn rabbit".

Bell clenched the dagger in his hand, ready to fight.

In the past few days as a "supporter" with Lu Ye, under Lu Ye's guidance and actual combat, his combat skills have improved a lot. When Hestia updated his ability value last night , and was even more surprised to find that every ability value of Bell had reached SSS! !
Of course, she didn't let Bell reveal this kind of thing to anyone, even Lu Ye.

To put it simply, although Bell's level is not yet LV.2, he actually already has the strength of LV.2.

Only one "sublimation" experience is needed, and he will be able to join the ranks of hard-core adventurers.

Seeing the charging monster, Bell launched a lunge ahead.

He slid into the arms of his opponent, flashing past with a short knife in his backhand.

The silver knife shattered the scales, deeply cut the flesh, and blood spurted out.

Behind Bell who swung the dagger to the end, the lizardman whose body was torn apart let out a sharp wail and fell to the ground.

Winnie looked at the monster that turned into dust and dissipated, and the panic in her eyes couldn't be restrained.

Violet didn't say anything, but held the dragon girl's hand tightly, trying to transfer her warmth to her.

Perhaps the number of adventurers exploring the dungeon is too small in the current time period, and many monsters have noticed the movement here. The hissing from the throat echoed in the leaves and jungle, and the figure flickered in the dense forest.

"It's so hospitable..." Estes narrowed his eyes, "Although I don't mind playing with these guys for a while, but time is of the essence, right?"

"Take the passage on the left and go in through the tree hole." Lu Ye said, "There can avoid the monster group in front, and it is also a shortcut. There is a straight road under the giant tree, going straight to the 20th floor. Bell, I will leave this to you. Keep an eye on the number of light spots on it for me, and notify me immediately if there is any change!"

With that said, Lu Ye threw the heartbeat detector in his hand to Bell.

"Okay, leave it to me." Bell took over the task.

"Esdes, you and I rush forward, Violet, you are responsible for protecting Winnie."

"Yes!"

Everyone started to move and run towards the goal.

The monsters also responded.

The footsteps constantly trampled on the wide branches that were thick enough to accommodate several people walking side by side, while the monsters launched surprise attacks from the dense branches from different directions.

Lu Ye drew out his knife and chopped, the leaves and blood rained down.

This is a chase.

The monsters blocking the front were mercilessly chopped off by Undead Slash and Ice Sword.

Bell constantly reported the trajectories of the monsters' actions and changes,

At the end of the line, the black ax in Violet's hand chopped off monsters that dared to approach her and Winnie one after another.

Thanks to the experience of exploring dungeons in the front-end life, the cooperation of this four-member team is quite tacit now.

With all their strength, they broke into the 20th floor in one go, and after confirming that they got rid of those monsters, everyone slowed down.

Lu Ye glanced at the pocket watch that most adventurers would carry with him, and frowned.

"Is it three hours..."

"That is to say, there are about two hours left before dawn, and we have to find the location before then."

"Is there a time limit?" Bell asked.

"Yes, the time limit is late at night, and...it will be very troublesome for adventurers to enter the dungeon after dawn."

"Pay attention to the surrounding environment and proceed carefully."

It took three hours to reach the 20th floor, which was considered "superior speed" for many adventurers.

You must know that even when Lu Ye entered the dungeon with Freya's family, it took almost five hours to reach the 18th floor.

Staring at the heartbeat detector and the map in the compulsory task book, everyone moved forward without slowing down as much as possible.

About 10 minutes later, Lu Ye and others arrived at the destination of the compulsory mission.

A grotto.

Walking into the grotto, the speed of the team slowed down.

But the gradually expanding scene in front of them gradually made everyone puzzled.

Green quartz grows everywhere in the cave room. These dark green crystals exude a flickering shimmer, piercing the bark ceiling, walls and floors, growing quartz of various sizes.The stone wall at the end of the view has large expanses of quartz forming small iceberg-like clusters of crystals.

Lu Ye and the others stopped and looked up at the stone wall standing in front of them.

Although the scenery is beautiful, there are no roads here.

"No way..."

"Yes, did you go the wrong way?"

"It shouldn't be, I'll take a look later."

Estes spread out the map again.

After confirming several times, Estes said that this is the right place.

"But there is no way." Bell murmured.

"Wait, there seems to be a voice."

"It's singing..." Winnie raised her head, "Who is singing?"

The voice just fell,

The gradually louder voice, the clear melody lingering in my ears, the singing voice I have never heard before.

It was so sweet that it was like the seductive singing of a sea monster.

But to Lu Ye, this singing voice was more like a guide.

Winnie's eyes drifted towards the direction of the singing.

The melody came from deep in the floor, from a corner of the crystal cluster that covered that wall.

Lu Ye took out the terrain detector.

The instrument clearly shows that there is a huge space behind this wall.

"It's here, that's right."

"Get out of the way."

As Estes spoke, he formed a sledgehammer out of ice and slammed it hard against the pile of quartz on the wall.

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the quartz shattered and the hole that was originally blocked was exposed.

This is a hidden tree hole.

In self-healing dungeons, the shattered quartz has begun to heal faster than normal.Seeing the dark green crystal gradually returning to its original shape, Lu Ye and others quickly got into it.

The scattered quartz fragments quickly sealed the hole, taking away the last ray of light.

The cave was pitch black, but judging from the instruments, it was likely to be a very large cave.

There are many stones and natural steps in the cave, and even the light of the torch in Bell's hand cannot reach the edge of the cave.

"Yes, are there any monsters?" Bell asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Yes, a lot." Although Violet's expression was calm, Winnie could feel her nervousness.

Even Lu Ye noticed this time.

In the darkness, there are countless eyes watching this side.

Something held its breath somewhere in the darkness, completely eliminated its breath, and stared at Lu Ye and his party.

Then, something burst out of the darkness.

Lu Ye instantly drew out his saber and slashed, and the flames that came out when the blade touched the flying object made Lu Ye see clearly...

The flying object is actually a machete dagger? !
Could it be human?

Lu Ye immediately made a decision, if the situation deteriorated, he would immediately use Tegu Shangri-La to retreat.

But the next moment, his mind changed.

A figure came out of the darkness and appeared where the fire could shine, and it was not a human being, but a "lizard man", not a monster, but a combination of a monster and a human, just like Winnie .

The best evidence is the armor on his body and the shining blade in his hand! !

What the hell...?
The strong lizard warrior roared and slashed over.

They stand on two feet and attack with their forelimbs, much like humans wielding weapons.

Stunt: Ashina Cross Slash!
Time does not allow Lu Ye to think too much, the moment the other party snatches it from the darkness, he has to fight back.

The lizard man seemed to be aware of the sharpness of the knife, and wanted to jump back and retreat.

But Estes blocked its retreat.

There were no ice thorns on the ice wall, they just blocked the lizardman's retreat.

And Lu Ye also changed the posture of holding the knife at a critical moment. The back of the knife brushed against the lizard man's armor, and finally the tip of the knife caught the gap between the armor. Lu Ye pulled hard, shortening the distance between himself and the lizard man to the extreme.

It seemed that they sensed the danger of their companions, and countless flying objects came from the darkness.

Estes pressed the palm of his hand on the ground, and a huge ice cube rose from the ground, enveloping everyone in 360 degrees.

There was no room for the lizardman to resist, Lu Ye grabbed the thick tail it was about to slam and slammed it hard, then Xianfeng jumped up and kicked the lizardman hard on the back, followed by It fell on the fallen lizard man, and the Immortal Slash lay between its necks, completely suppressing it,
At the same time, countless deafening roars sounded in the cave.

It was the angry roar of various monsters.

"Stop barking!" Lu Ye also roared, "If you bark again, I will kill this lizard! I know you can understand me!!"

Lu Ye lifted Wei Ni's hood, exposing her face as a dragon girl to the air.

The cave fell silent for a moment.

"So...let's have a good talk, who are you?"

The lizardman under Lu Ye smacked his mouth, and was about to speak...

In the darkness, the crisp sound of boots hitting the stone ground can be heard.

A man in a black robe stepped out of the darkness.

"Please don't get angry, their name is 'heretics'."

 The direction of the story will not be the same as the original, otherwise it will be boring

  (The main reason is that the original author hasn't filled in the hole yet, so I decided to be simple and violent.)
