Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Xuanyuan came to the outside of the underground city.

A few kilometers away from the entrance of the underground city, a small open-air market appeared at some point.

Many adventurers set up stalls near the entrance of the underground city to sell things. These vendors have naturally formed several streets. Some places even set up wooden frames, as if someone is preparing to open a temporary store here.

The most exaggerated thing is that someone has built a 100-meter-high earth and stone viewing platform. You can see many adventurers sitting on it to rest and chat, and constantly looking into the distance.

Below the viewing platform, someone is shouting and selling tickets to watch the game.

Continue walking forward and come to the entrance of the underground city. In just one night, a circular military fortress with a wall of 40 meters high and a diameter of about 3 kilometers has been built here.

Many wizards holding magic wands or scholars holding crystal balls can be seen chanting in front of the empty walls. Soil rises from the ground and gradually solidifies into a solid black wall, or magic circles are carved on the wall, making the wall emit a faint fluorescence.

A large number of irregular trenches have been dug around the military fortress. Many guards are busy digging in the trenches. From time to time, some huge humanoid mechas can be seen shuttling back and forth between the trenches and assisting in the transportation of soil.

Many flying monsters are hovering in the sky. Among these flying monsters, there are several modern aircraft that Xuanyuan is very familiar with. The style is similar to the helicopters in the previous life. They can hover and adjust the direction in the air at will, but there are no propellers to provide it with upward airflow.

In addition, many guards wearing robes or holding cold weapons can be seen. They are standing on hoverboards or carrying flying backpacks, patrolling back and forth in the air in the form of teams.

This strange style of Western fantasy cold weapons and future science fiction made Xuanyuan feel a little strange.

Crossing the trench, he came to the bottom of the city wall of the base.

Xuanyuan was a little surprised.

There was no entrance or exit built around the wall of the fortress. The original entrance to the underground city was completely blocked in the center by this fortress.

If you don’t enter this large fortress, you can’t enter the underground city at all.

Just when Xuanyuan was worried, a six-man patrol team that was patrolling in the air flew down from the sky and asked him:

"What's the matter?"

"This place will soon become a front-line battlefield. It is recommended not to approach it these days."

"If you want to join the cleanup team formed by the guild after killing the king."

"Please wait for the official notification of the guild. A service station has been set up at the temporary market. If you want to participate, you must first sign up and then wait for the official notification."

Xuanyuan shook his head and said:

"I want to enter the dungeon."

"President Harad said that I can continue to go to the dungeon."

A short guard leading the patrol team was stunned when he heard this and said:

"Are you Xuanyuan?"

Xuanyuan looked at the short guard:

"Yes, you are...?"

The short guard smiled:

"The last time you came out of the dungeon, I took you to the guild to report to the branch president."

"Don't remember?"

Xuanyuan suddenly realized and remembered.

It was the short guard who liked to take people bungee jumping without saying anything.

"Oh! Long time no see~"

"I remember, after all, you scared me so much at that time."

The short guard smiled and turned to his companion and said:

"I know him, you guys go on patrol, I'll take him to see the branch president."

The other guards nodded and stepped on the skateboard to continue patrolling.

The short soldier stepped on the skateboard, lowered the height to about 30 centimeters, moved forward, and motioned Xuanyuan to stand behind.

Xuanyuan stood on it carefully. The hoverboard under his feet was all white. The structure looked very simple, but it could float in the air without spraying air.

However, it was a little shaky when it was suspended, a bit like riding a boat, and it didn't feel very safe.

The short soldier said:

"Hold on to your shoulders, hold on and don't move, let's go!"

After that, the hoverboard suddenly took off from the ground, flew over the city wall, and rushed towards the inside of the fortress.

Xuanyuan had already prepared himself mentally.

His center of gravity was stable and his hands were tightly grasped, so he was not frightened by the opponent's sudden acceleration.

Looking down from a high place, this military fortress is composed of tall concentric circles of walls, which expand outward layer by layer.

There are trenches and defensive positions between each wall, and guard teams are stationed and patrolling on the walls, forming a buffer line of defense.

In the middle of the military fortress is the entrance to the underground city, and a large number of tents are scattered around.

He fell from the sky with Xuanyuan.

The short guard put the skateboard on his back, turned around and said:

"Wait here for a while, I will go in and ask for instructions first."

After that, he walked into the tent area alone.

Not long after, the short guard came out with a silver badge:

"Chairman Harald didn't sleep all night yesterday and is catching up on his sleep now. It's inconvenient to disturb him."

"Fortunately, Lieutenant Perseus hasn't slept yet. He asked me to give you this silver badge that allows you to enter and exit the dungeon freely."

"Wear this badge on your chest, and you can enter and exit the dungeon freely."

Xuan Yuan nodded, thanked him, took the badge, and suddenly asked:

"Where is Captain Thorfinn? Did he come out yesterday?"

The short guard's voice suddenly became low:

"Captain Thorfinn, there has been no news until now."

Xuan Yuan heard it.

For a moment, he could only remain silent, not knowing what he could say.

The short guard sighed:

"There is no way, the dungeon is like this."

"Sometimes, luck is even more important than strength, just get used to it."

"Be careful after entering, don't repeat Captain Thorfinn's mistakes, and run early when you should."

Xuan Yuan nodded:

"Thank you, you must also pay attention to safety when fighting monsters!"

The short guard smiled.

Without saying anything, he stepped on the floating board and turned away.

When the other party walked away, Xuan Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask someone's name.

Shaking his head.

When we meet next time, I must ask his name. He is also a very interesting person.

Wearing the badge on his chest, the guard guarding the entrance of the dungeon saw the badge.

Without even asking, he let Xuan Yuan in directly.

Entering the dungeon, Xuan Yuan patted his chest.

After catching up on his sleep, Xiao Paji lazily came out of his arms.

Standing on Xuanyuan's shoulder, holding a few pieces of iron ore that Xuanyuan bought for Xiao Paji in the morning, chewing them one by one.

The underground floor is still the same.

Nothing has changed, except that no other adventurers can be seen.

Along the way, other slimes no longer avoid Xuanyuan when they see him, and they all jump behind Xuanyuan's buttocks, looking very happy.

From time to time, slimes hold pieces of ore with their little tentacles, jump up and hand them to Xiao Paji on Xuanyuan's shoulders.

Faced with the active tribute from his subordinates.

Xiao Paji accepts everything and eats one by one.

Xuanyuan was secretly shocked when he saw it, and felt that Xiao Paji seemed to be able to eat no matter how much.

This made him worry about his wallet.

He had a loan shark of 10 gold on his back, and he had to spend money to buy equipment, learn skills, and afford food, clothing, housing and transportation. When the balance in his purse was only 3 silver and 200 copper.

I have raised another gold-eating beast, and I don’t know if I can still hold on.

But, no matter what.

Since Xiao Paji has followed me, I can’t let the little guy go hungry no matter what.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan suddenly thought of a question:

“Now that you follow me, can you still revive in the dungeon like before?”

“If not, just wait for me to come back on the first floor.”

Xiao Paji nodded first, then shook his head.

He stretched out a pair of small tentacles, pulled Xuanyuan’s collar and shook it hard, saying that he was very strong and was not afraid of anything.

Xuanyuan smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Xiao Paji’s head.

“Then let’s go! Fight with me!”

After that, he took out the longbow on his back.

With Xiao Paji, he resolutely entered the second underground floor.
