Chapter 18 Relief on the Tenth Floor

I stood quietly, waiting for Phoenix's reply.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the strange duo found a stone and sat down quietly, waiting for Phoenix's decision.

The yellow striped white cloth fighting uniform was dug into a corner with her fingers, and I knew she was struggling.

Although I really want to persuade her to give up this adventure, I hope that she can have her own attention. Even if she chooses to continue the adventure, it doesn't matter.

At worst, let Loki and the others go back first and accompany her for a while.

The reason I was abused by the boss at that time was because I had just stepped into the fifth-level palace, and I was not used to it in many aspects. Now that a long time has passed, I guess if I meet the old enemy again, I won't be in a thrilling and hard battle again.

While he was thinking to himself, Phoenix's eyes flashed with light and his little hands clenched into fists.

I already knew the answer without her having to ask.

"I'm going to give it a try!"

"ah!"

A pair of weirdos jumped up in fright. After confirming Phoenix's choice, they instantly turned into bitter faces.

"I really want to go, eldest sister..."

Loki's face was filled with disbelief.

"Sister Phoenix and Brother Xiaoyi have said that it is very, very dangerous there!"

Lily pulled on the corner of Phoenix's clothes and kept repeating the word 'very', trying to shake her sister Phoenix's determination.

"I'm going to give it a try."

Phoenix said firmly: "Since I am an adventurer, I must have the responsibility and determination of an adventurer. No matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead is, I will not waver!"

"I have been very happy during this period. It is the happiest I have ever been. I have met someone I can rely on."

She glanced at me and I nodded slightly to her.

"I also met companions who can bring me happiness."

She took Lily's hand, touched her head, and continued: "No matter how much time passes, I will never forget you."

"But, I have a reason to become stronger. If I stop here today because of fear, when will I be able to finish the things that are pressing on my heart!"

With a very firm look in her eyes, she stood up and said to the two strangers, "Loki, the road ahead is too dangerous. You should take Lily back."

"Sister, you..."

Loki hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, I asked Xiaoyi to stay with me, nothing will happen."

After thinking for a while, she asked again: "If the two of us don't go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Loki raised his hand to stop Phoenix's words, spread his hands, and said with an expression that transcended life and death: "Forget it, eldest sister, don't rush us away. If you say this There are still people in the world who care about our life and death, who don't despise us for being timid and clumsy, and who work diligently to help us upgrade. I guess the only two left are the boss and the eldest sister."

"So," Loki forced a smile: "You should take us with you. Even if something happens, at least you will have a companion when you go to heaven."

Phoenix was a little moved, and there were a few more tears in her eyes.

After calming down, she asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Loki spread his hands, gave an expression that was uglier than death, pouted at Lily, and said, "I'm more afraid that she will be sad."

Looking at Lily again, she was already crying one drop after another.

I figured it was almost done, so I walked over and said, "I'll stop here if I'm going to be sensational. The monsters on the tenth floor are level four monsters, not level ten monsters. They live and die one by one. Isn't that too disrespectful to me, a fifth level monster?" A top adventurer should take it seriously."

Really, don’t think of the village chief as a cadre!

I drew my sword, took the lead, and stepped into the teleportation gate on the tenth floor.

After a moment of chaos, we officially entered the tenth floor.

The difference from the same to the ninth floor is that the first thing that comes into view on the tenth floor is a natural space of 100 meters square.

Numerous relief totems are carved on the stone walls that are still smooth without polishing.

The carving techniques of these reliefs are quite delicate. Even without the embellishment of dye, you can still feel the emotions and experiences of the people in the reliefs.

On the relief, a giant minotaur waved its fists and seemed to be beating its chest. It stood up with its two legs bent, one of which stepped forward and stepped on a blurry human head, and the other leg stepped towards it. The back is slightly bent to support its huge body. The huge bull's head is raised high, its bloody mouth is opened, and it roars to the sky. The bull's eyes as big as fists are filled with unwillingness and anger.

On the ground on both sides of it, countless bodies that were still humanoid but had been smashed and bloody were lying on the ground, becoming one of its many victims.

On both sides, one step away from it, there were still countless waist-high warriors swarming forward. The weapons in their hands were of different shapes, some were holding swords, some were holding spears, and some were holding crossbows. Some chanted magic, while others held up blazing guns, closed one eye and concentrated on aiming.

From their attire, the different races are clearly distinguishable.

In their expressions, everyone's inner thoughts are also different.

Some are fierce, some are indomitable, some are passionate and excited, some are fanatical and bloodthirsty, some are hesitant, and even more are timid, lowering their heads, hiding among the crowd, although their bodies are still running forward, but His eyes were peeking back.

"What race is this?"

Phoenix asked me, pointing to the relief sculpture with a furtive expression.

"Goblin" I replied.

"He's so cowardly."

Phoenix curled his lips and said innocently.

"That's not the case." I corrected Phoenix seriously: "On the contrary, I think he is a very brave goblin."

"Goblins are not a race that is good at fighting, and they don't have any amazing fighting talents or magical specialties. What they are best at is making all kinds of strange and obscene techniques, or inventing some exquisite equipment that you have never heard of."

Phoenix tapped his chin with his green-white index finger. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Making equipment...is it the same as that of dwarves?"

"Although they are similar, they are not the same." I shook my head and said, "The dwarves focus on combat equipment and construction projects, while the goblins focus on daily life, maintenance and repairs. If we have to compare them, it seems a bit far-fetched. It can only be said that they are two ethnic groups that complement each other.”

Phoenix seemed to understand and nodded.

Loki and Lily, this strange pair, looked here and there, touched up and down, marveling at the exquisite techniques of the relief designer, stroking the smooth rock wall and admiring, and then took out a knife and tried to Carve proof of visit on the wall saying 'Loki and Lily are here'.

Watching Loki struggling to draw lines on the rock wall with a knife, I said helplessly: "Don't waste your energy. The buildings in the underground city will automatically restore themselves every twenty-four hours. Even if you remove the rock wall Once the twenty-four hours have passed, it will be restored to its original state."

Loki then retracted his hand angrily.

"Brother Xiaoyi, which way should we go?"

Not far away, Lily poked her head towards a deep entrance on the wall.

Phoenix and Loki also noticed this problem and stared at me, waiting for my directions.

In this naturally formed space, there are four similar entrances on each wall. The four walls add up to a total of sixteen.

I thought for a moment, raised my hand, pointed at one of the entrances, and said, "Go this way."
