Second, conceal the real number of monsters and reduce the vigilance of outsiders.

Thirdly, in order to prevent the monsters created by hard work from being collectively eliminated by the powerful first-level adventurers, the combat power is dispersed and preserved.

Adventurers above Lv.5 are too rare, and they usually have to run around for the family's livelihood. Even if the guild issues high rewards and lures, it is still unrealistic for them to sweep the maze layer by layer.

"Have you pinpointed the weakness that it is difficult to coordinate and act here..."

After reorganizing the information in his mind and gradually clarifying his thoughts, Chios frowned slightly.

It seems that the will of the world has already prepared for a long-term brewing.

The best hiding places for monsters are undoubtedly the rooms on each floor that deviate from the main route, especially where food is produced regularly.

As for how to use them, there are many possibilities...

No matter which one it is, Chios can imagine that it will be a situation comparable to a tsunami and avalanche.

Relying on personal ability alone, it is bound to be difficult to fight against it.

He needs the power of Freya and Loki... no, maybe the power of all Olalie adventurers.

Thinking of this, the young man clenched his left hand on the hilt of his waist.

In this investigation, it is necessary to obtain clues that can prove his speculation and cause the guild and the major families to worry.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The journey to the food bank is not too far, but the monsters encountered along the way, the rugged terrain with large ups and downs, and the turbulent currents greatly increase the difficulty for adventurers to explore.

For example right now...

In front of the road of Chios and others, a rock wall over six meters high, with a wet surface and covered with moss, blocked the way.

With the general physical fitness of second-level adventurers, it is almost impossible to jump or climb across.It is necessary to prepare tools such as ropes in advance, and beware of monster sneak attacks during the process, which is quite dangerous.

Of course, in addition to walking by land, people who are confident in water can try to jump into the river and swim from the cracks on both sides of the rock wall to the other side.

The premise is that while swimming against the current, you can also distract yourself from dealing with various difficult underwater monsters...

Although such an obstacle is not enough to cause trouble for himself, Tifa, and Ais, it must be a huge trouble for the majority of adventurers who lack light acceleration magic.

The dungeon provides this layer of natural barriers, which can be said to exist to protect the habitat of monsters on this layer.

He stopped to observe for a while, and from the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently glanced at the two girls who were about to use wind magic to fly over obstacles. Chios made a joke:

"Since we have specially practiced it just now, why don't we take a look at it by water?"

He originally wanted to appreciate Jian Ji's wavering reaction, and to liven up the atmosphere by the way.

"it is good..."

Unexpectedly, Ace nodded in agreement.

The blond girl with a flat tone that could not hear the slightest panic came up quickly, and grabbed the left arm of the young man who had no time to react.

"As long as Chios doesn't get rid of me."

"..." The young man was silent.

next moment...

He suddenly discovered that his right arm was also unable to move.

"Agreed..." The black-haired girl leaned close to the young man, looked at her partner with a smile, and encouraged softly:

"As the proposer, you have to take responsibility and hold on to us and try to cross the river."

Hearing this, Chios turned his face to look at Tifa.

It's obviously a simple joke, why are you messing around with Aisi, with a serious look...

With both hands disabled, Chios is not confident that he can defeat a 6-10 meter long water snake or a large fish monster underwater.Besides, the crack in the rock formation was not wide enough for three people to pass through in parallel.

Young people believe that their partners will not ignore this common sense, but...

In exchange for his sympathetic gaze, the girl's strength in embracing her arms further strengthened.As if trying to squeeze the entire right arm into the full chest, the soft and enveloping touch became more and more clear.

If Jian Ji doesn't let go, she won't let go either.

Seeing the firm and unyielding will in Tifa's eyes, Aisi on the other side tightened her strength as if resisting.

Karakala...

The two opposite forces pulled, gradually causing some pain to the young man, and even the screams of bones and joints could be heard.

"I'm just kidding, please don't drag me here to die for love..."

Chios understood that if he allowed them to go on like this, his shoulder might be dislocated, so he hurriedly stopped them.

"Don't waste time, we'll just jump over the rock."

Before he finished speaking, the pennant rune outlined by silver light suddenly appeared on the back of his right hand.

The surrounding atmosphere gathers.

Swish!

"Hehe..." Tifa couldn't help laughing.

It is rare to see the performance of Chios who is bound in a cocoon and desperately wants to get out.The contrast with the usual calm posture is inexplicably cute.

This time, deliberately being a partner who "doesn't know the general idea" is worth the fare.

However, at most it was a small revenge, Tifa had no intention of continuing to embarrass Chios, and her eyes were stained blue.

"?"

Feeling the surging wind, Aisi, who confirmed that Chios had given up the option of swimming, blinked in confusion.

Looking across, the black-haired girl couldn't hide the smile between her brows and eyes.

Look at the youth again...

On the indifferent face of the blond girl, a touching smile suddenly appeared.

She found that she seemed to understand why the family members were happy.

"Tempest."

...

After climbing over the huge rock, walk along the southern land for 5 minutes, walk through a crystallization cave, and then come into view the huge underground city food store.

The blue crystals form a mountainous valley terrain, and the bottom is cut and broken by intricate hydrology. Looking from a distance, the land looks like isolated islands standing in the torrent.

The ring-shaped wall as a whole is full of nests built by bird creatures.

Countless crimson meteors streaked across the air, and after careful observation, they discovered that they were actually flying swallows with bright red feathers.

In the valley, hundreds of large crabs whose bodies are protected by shiny blue metal carapaces occupy most of the places available for a foothold.Their sharp feet and limbs are firmly planted into the ground, and their wriggling mouthparts are nibbling at the small crystals all over the place, making uncomfortable dense noises.

There are countless dangerous monsters lurking under the surface of rivers that can be seen everywhere.

As far as the eye can see, there are monsters...

Difficult to count.

"!" Looking at this scene, which can be called a magic cave for adventurers, Aisi's beautiful golden eyes shrank.

It's not that she has never encountered abnormal situations such as "monster feast" and "monster tide". If she is unlucky and encounters more serious ones, it is not impossible for hundreds of monsters to appear at once.

But that is, after all, a transient, discontinuous phenomenon.

Like this, it was the first time Jian Ji saw a large number of monsters living in the food depot and never leaving.

Looking back now, on the way to this place, some monsters seem to be consciously rushing to a certain place before discovering them and attacking them...

So, is it here?

With such a huge number of monsters, if they suddenly attacked people, it would be almost impossible for the adventurers who usually live in the lower floors to survive.

What exactly is the dungeon trying to do...

The girl gripped the sword of despair.

She wants to know the answer.

"strange..."

As soon as she uttered half a syllable, the young man next to her immediately stretched out her left index finger to her lips, signaling her to keep quiet.

Despite the psychological preparations made in advance, Chios also did not expect that the monsters in the food bank would reach such a scale in just over ten days.

And that's just one of the many food banks on each floor.

Calculating from this the total amount of monsters hidden in the maze, what kind of terrifying figure will it be?

How much power has the will of the world invested in?

After obtaining the authority of the world, Chios learned that whether it is to interfere or change the operation of the world, it needs to consume the power of the world, even the will of the world is no exception.

Obviously, he still underestimated the mission world's determination to eradicate the invaders...

Chios quietly exchanged a look with Tifa.

(Prepare to retreat.)

There is a lack of mages who specialize in large-scale attack spells. They are good at hand-to-hand combat or fighting. Once they are surrounded, although they will not die, they will definitely fight very hard.

Just as they were about to put their thoughts into action, the crystal wall behind the cave where the three of them lived suddenly began to peel off.

clap clap clap...

That is, the prelude to the appearance of new monsters.

Chapter 510? Monster Swarm

clap clap clap...

The twelve metal crabs bred in the labyrinth climbed out of the peeled crystal wall, and used their thick body to block the narrow passage of the cave.

The crisp sound of the crystals colliding with the ground immediately attracted the attention of many monsters in the food storehouse.

The flashing red eyes all looked at Chios and the others.

Trouble...

Sensing the hostile eyes of the monster, Chios frowned, and immediately ordered:

"Ais, Tifa, quickly deal with the monsters behind!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the sword at his waist with a "clang", and drew three intersecting lines in the void with the vacated sword finger of his left hand, drew a circle around the silver-gray rune, and finally slashed across it.

"Steel of Misfortune"

Knowing that the battle was inevitable, the two girls, who were no longer in battle for the first time, did not waste much time responding, and drove the wind magic to accelerate towards the newborn metal crab group.

In order to avoid being encircled, the most urgent task is to eliminate the enemies behind and ensure the smooth path of retreat.

In just one sentence, the first wave of attacks by monsters in the food bank is approaching...

Swish!

The red feather monsters circling in mid-air locked onto the figure at the entrance of the cave one after another, flapping their wings and swooping down.

flash swallow...

The fastest monster in the lower tier as recognized by the governing body.

Its attack mode is simple but deadly...

Launched a charge at a speed far exceeding that of all raptors on the surface, and turned into bullets that were fired one after another.

The beak of this monster is sharp enough to pierce through a fragile human body, and driven at high speed, it is like a lance stabbed by a galloping knight on a horse.If they fail to penetrate the target, the excessive speed will often cause them to have no time to slow down, and they will directly hit the ground or wall, ushering in their own destruction.

If there are a few sporadic ones, Chios just needs to avoid them calmly.

The problem is that there are at least hundreds of Shan Yan who are directly aiming at Chios to kill.What's more, the cave, which is only about three meters wide and high, doesn't have enough room to dodge and move around.

A distance of hundreds of meters was spanned with a flick of the finger, and the bright color of the feathers covering the monster's body dragged a trail of crimson light tails along the path of travel...

At first glance, it looks like a sky full of red meteors falling head-on.

Seeing that the monster was about to approach, Chios glanced at the two companions who were rushing to the rear from the corner of his eye, and raised his left arm, which manipulated the rune of disaster, to block it.
