Chapter Twenty-Three: The Relief on the Tenth Floor

I stood silently, waiting for Phoenix's reply.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the strange duo also found a stone to sit down honestly and waited for Phoenix's choice.

The yellow-veined white cloth suit had a corner on her fingers, and I knew she was struggling.

I would love to persuade her to give up on this adventure, but I would prefer that she would have her own attention, even if she chooses to continue the adventure.

It's a big deal to let Loki go back first and accompany her for a while.

At that time, I was abused by the boss, because I had just stepped into the hall of the fifth level, and I didn't adapt to it in many aspects, and now it's been a long time, and I guess I won't fall into a thrilling bitter battle again when I meet my old enemies again.

As he was thinking to himself, the phoenix's eyes lit up, and his little hands clenched into fists.

Needless to say, I already know the answer.

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

"Ahh

A pair of strange people jumped up in fright, and after determining the choice of the phoenix, they instantly turned into bitter gourd faces.

"I'm really going, big sister."

Loki's face was full of disbelief.

"Sister Phoenix, Brother Xiao Yi has said it, it is very, very dangerous there!"

Lily tugged at the corner of Phoenix's coat and kept repeating the word 'very', trying to shake her Phoenix's sister'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, even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, I will not waver!" ”

"It's been a very happy time, the happiest I've ever been when I've grown up, and I've met people I can rely on."

She looked at me, and I nodded slightly to her.

"I also met companions who brought me joy."

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

"However, I have a reason why I must become stronger, if today, I stop here because I am afraid, when will I be able to finish what is pressing on my heart!"

Her eyes were very firm, she stood up, looked at the two strangers, and said, "Loki, the road ahead is too dangerous, you take Lily back." ”

"Big sister, you..."

Loki stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I'll let Xiao Yi accompany me, it'll be fine."

After thinking about it, she instructed again, "If we don't go back." ”

Before he finished speaking, Loki raised his hand, stopped Phoenix's words, spread his hands, and said with an expression of detachment from life and death: "Forget the eldest sister, don't be in a hurry to drive us away, if there are still people in this world who care about the life and death of the two of us, don't dislike the two of us for being timid and clumsy, and conscientiously take the two of us to upgrade, it is estimated that only the boss and the eldest sister will be left." ”

"So," Loki barely smiled, "You better 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 her emotions for a moment, she asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Loki spread his hands, returned an expression that was uglier than death, and bowed to Lilian, "I'm more afraid of her being upset." ”

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

Estimating that it was almost over, I walked over and said, "If you are sensational, you can stop here, the tenth layer is a fourth-level monster, and it is not a tenth-level monster, one by one, life and death, is it too much to take me, a fifth-level adventurer, seriously." ”

Really, don't take the village chief as a cadre!

I drew my sword and stepped into the portal on the tenth floor.

After a moment of chaos, we officially stepped into the tenth level.

The difference between the same to the ninth floor is that the first thing that catches the eye on the tenth floor is a natural space 100 meters square.

The stone walls, which are still smooth and flat without polishing, are carved with countless relief totems.

The carving techniques of these reliefs are quite fine, and even if there is no embellishment of dye, you can still feel the feelings and experiences of the people in the reliefs.

On the relief, a giant minotaur waved his fists, as if he was beating his chest, its two legs bent and stood up, one of its legs stepped forward, stepping on a vague human head, and the other leg bent back slightly, supporting its huge body, the huge bull's head was raised high, opening its bloody mouth, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the fist-sized bull's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

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

On both sides of the flank, one step away from it, there were still countless waist-high warriors swarming up, their weapons in different forms, some holding war knives, some holding bayonet spears, some bending bows and crossbows, some chanting magic, and some holding fire guns, closing one eye, and focusing on aiming.

From their attire, the different races are clearly recognizable.

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 some are cowering, bowing their heads, hiding under the crowd, although their bodies are still running forward, but their eyes are peeking backwards.

"What race is this?"

The phoenix asked me, pointing to the relief that was frozen in a peek at the expression.

"Goblin," I replied.

"He's so timid."

Phoenix pursed her lips and said innocently.

"Not really," I corrected Phoenix, earnestly, "on the contrary, I think he's a very brave goblin." ”

"Goblins are not a combat-ready race, nor do they have any amazing fighting talents or magical talents, they are best at creating all kinds of obscenities, or inventing some subtle devices that you have never heard of."

Phoenix's white index finger tapped his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Make a device." Isn't it the same as the dwarves? ”

"Although they are similar, they are not the same" I shook my head and said, "The dwarves mainly focus on combat equipment and construction projects, and the goblins mainly focus on daily life and maintenance and repair. ”

The phoenix seemed to understand and nodded.

The strange duo of Loki and Lily looked east and west, up and down, one moment marveling at the subtlety of the relief designer, one moment stroking the smooth rock wall and admiring it, and the other time taking out a knife and trying to carve on the wall the proof of the visit, 'Loki and Lily have visited here'.

Watching Loki draw the Tao on the rock wall with a knife, I said helplessly: "Don't waste your efforts, the buildings in the dungeon will automatically restore every twenty-four hours, even if you carve through the rock wall, twenty-four hours will still be restored." ”

Loki then took his hand stupidly.

"Brother Xiao Yi, which way should we go?"

Not far away, Lily peered into the wall, one of the deep entrances.

Phoenix and Loki also noticed the problem, staring at me, waiting for my directions.

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

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