Uh———— ah!!!!

On the somewhat long staircase to the ninth, looking back, but full of gray-white and loveless scenery, Bell let out a depressive cry of reluctance, his teeth creaking and his face full of pain.

In the distance, I couldn't hear anything I wanted to hear, only a higher and higher position, and the cold wind generated by it flowed noisily in my ears.

"Lord Bell! Please don't do that!! The way to deal with the adults is the most correct!! With such a strong strength, the adult will definitely get out, and he may catch up after a while~"

Only in the face of Bell's understanding Lily, the little face tried to make a "sure to be fine" appearance as comfort.

However, it didn't ease Bell's mood much, but frowned even more, looking like he was breathing in his heart.

"Again! Again!! Why am I still so weak, I met the Minotaur and was saved by Miss Ace, and I was rescued by Brother Hua when I met Lily, and I met a vicious adventurer, and I was saved by Brother Hua......"

Distressed, Bell brushed his unkempt hair, and the white hair, which had become embarrassed by the escape, became even more messy at the moment.

And ...... Just now (trembling slightly), I was powerless to deal with it, so I could only run away with such grievances!! I have my pride!! I don't want to be a burden!! The boy roared in his heart, even if his teeth were sore and swollen.

If Guo Yuan Tianhua knew, he would definitely be pleased to pat this stupid boy on the back and reprimand, "People are small and big, and they are looking for trouble......

However, it is precisely because of this idea that Bell seems to have been stimulated and motivated, and with a lot of energy in his heart, a flame of wanting to become stronger ignited in his eyes, and in this state, he unconsciously returned to the ninth level.

Different from the miserable white bright light of the tenth level, the dim and cold light of the ninth level made Bell's somewhat hot head much clearer, which reminded him of the strangeness of the ninth layer when Yuan Tianhua was still alive before.

There are still no traces of monsters and adventurers, and an inexplicable feeling is rapidly filling the bottom of my heart, looking at the dim scene passing backwards in front of me, the feeling is getting more and more, more and more intense......

"Stop!!" However, at the next moment, Bell suddenly discovered a situation, and suddenly stopped under his rushing feet, and by the way, he also helped Lily, who was a little unable to hold back.

"Bell...... My lord? What's wrong? ”

"Lily, do you remember the guy who was scared to death before?" Bell asked, looking at a spot on the ground not far away.

"Huh? …… Remember, Lord Bell...... Does it matter? Lily looked at him with a confused expression.

"Then there's another one that ran away, remember?" Bell's face became very solemn, and he pointed to the fresh blood stains on the ground not far away, plus a few marks of the sharp blade slashing recklessly on the ground.

Lily didn't speak, a hint of worry flashed in her chestnut eyes, and her little brain spun quickly, and she quickly thought of something bad, and then Bell said the same worry.

"The adventurer who ran away should also be a guy close to the LV2 level, but he was attacked at the ninth level, you must know that when we came, we didn't encounter a monster, obviously there was a reason, but now it seems that the guy who escaped definitely encountered some dangerous monster ......."

Bell said with an ugly face, pulled Lily, and walked forward more carefully, but he didn't expect to go far, and behind a pillar of stalactites erected, he found a scene that proved his hunch and speculation even more.

And when Lily saw it, she let out a frightened cry, but immediately blocked it with her little hand.

Because on the ground not far away, a rough knife mark accompanied by fine fragments of dirt and stones crossed the pool of blood, and a fresh severed arm was quietly spread out in a pool of blood, and the lines on the broken shoulder guard on the arm matched Bell's memory, and belonged to the companion of the guy who was scared to death.

And the fracture section of the arm also happens to be in the same direction as the knife mark.

An incomparably brutal slash, the arm was broken in response, and the knife did not decrease, slashing straight on the ground, as if it was not a sharp blade wielded, but a blunt weapon on the ground 'smashed' to cut out such a violent trace, enduring the heart-rending pain, the strong desire to survive prompted the mutilated body to flee for its life, continuing to slip forward on the ground, from deep to shallow bloody footprints......

This series of processes was imagined in Bell's mind, and his heart suddenly fell infinitely downward.

However, after he had taken a few more steps forward along the bloody footprints, a new sight suddenly appeared in front of him, and Bell's heart sank deep again.

People, adventurers, adventurers' corpses, adventurers' frightened, unsightly broken corpses, chopped corpses, twisted limbs, scattered, irregular dismemberment of torsos, colorful organs and intestines, wantonly scattered on the ground, and the blood that was originally the source of life turned into a stinking bloodstain, like paint that does not need money, painted this square inch of land into the Shura Hell.

The picture of the monster being slaughtered and dying is also bloody, but Bell and Lily have long been numb to it, insensitive, and accustomed to nature.

However, as soon as they were adventurers of the same kind, they fell into such a cruel and tragic scene, and it was really difficult for them to accept it when they saw it for the first time, so they ......

Vomiting ——!! Seeing such a miserable scene, Bell and Lily had no second reaction at all, and retched on the spot, and the acid in their stomachs kept gushing.

But as soon as they did this, the thick smell of rust and blood, along with their chaotic breathing, rushed up to their noses, as if seeping into the brain marrow, and in an instant the vomiting sensation became more and more unpleasant, and finally caused the two of them to no longer hold back, and vomited out the undigested residue of breakfast.

And this erosive taste, mixed with the previous thick smell of blood, made the two little guys vomit even more violently.

This time there was more than one adventurer, there were four people in total, it was a standard adventurer team, Bell saw it clearly, and understood it in his heart.

He clearly judged that these unlucky guys were definitely adventurers who came behind them, and they had discovered the anomalous Ninth Rank before they came here, but they were not as lucky as them and did not encounter anything, but were brutally killed by unknown monsters here.

But after vomiting, the vigilance in Bell's heart began to grow wildly, this is not as earthly as when Yuan Tianhua was by his side before, looking at those pupils dilated, but there was still a look of despair in the cloudy eyes, Bell even felt that the remaining fear on the corpse seemed to be turning into substance, invading his soul.

Leave now, don't stay here for long.

"Vomit...... Walk! Lily!! Deliberately no longer looking at the tragic scene not far away, he spit out a mouthful of pantothenic acid saliva that still did not have any food residues, and pulled Lily, who was a little weak in the vomit, and prepared to move and quickly leave the ninth class with strange and unknown monsters.

The sound of hurried and somewhat vague footsteps was particularly piercing and clear in this somewhat dead silence of the Ninth Layer.

Woo——............ Ang ——!!!! ——

However, the next moment when their noses were just out of the range of the strong smell of blood, the two of them, who had somewhat eased their faces, heard a strong and fierce monster cry coming from behind the heavy stalactite cluster in front of them.

And the moment Bell heard it, it was so familiar, it was so unforgettable, it was so ...... It induced deep fear in his heart.

Boom! …… Boom! …… The muffled sound of a creature of considerable weight stepping on the ground slowly moved from far to near, and a tall figure gradually became clear in the cold dim light of the ninth level, but before that, two red points of light first appeared clearly in Bell and Lily's field of vision.

It was the eyes of the monster, and after seeing the usual characteristics of the monster in the red dot, as well as the targeted killing intent and tyranny contained in it, the two knew the identity of the comer for the first time.

But when the monster was completely exposed, Bell's body suddenly froze in place, the pupils of his eyes suddenly dilated, and a kind of fear was born, and the shadow hidden in his heart inexorably emerged, and the indelible fear turned into a substance.

Looking at the scarlet-fur, one-horned minotaur exuding a rage and cruelty, dragging the mottled and broken giant blade, accompanied by a scripping sound, rushed towards it.

"Mino...... Tauros ......", Bell let out a dry, hoarse voice, but did not respond to the monster's approach.

This made Lily, who had just been anxiously beckoning him to flee immediately, even more anxious at this time, the monster dragged the blood-stained giant blade to rush closer!!

"Bell-sama!!!!!" , In Lily's immature scream, the petite and delicate body suddenly burst out with not weak strength, collided, and threw herself to the side with Bell in her arms.

At the same moment, the terrifying sound of the blade wielded by absolute violence cutting through the air grazed the feet of Lily and Bell, and smashed viciously to the ground, erupting with an earth-shattering explosion, like an explosion, and the thick earth smoke suddenly rose up, and then disappeared in a transparent wave of air.

Lily and Bell, who had already pounced, were pushed forward several meters by the wave of air exploded by this slash, and fell to the ground without any buffer, rubbing and tumbling for a distance.

Cough!!! Feeling the stinging pain of the viscera and the pain caused by the scars on the ground on his hands and feet, Bell, who was stunned, only reacted at this time.

However, when he saw Lily, who was already bleeding from the corner of her forehead on her chest, covering her eyes, she looked pale and could faint at any time.

After crunching his teeth with hatred, and even some masochistic tendencies, his eyes flashed with remorse, and then a blazing flame of anger and defiance ignited.

The breath in my heart is expanding and burning......

（………… Changed a little bit of play, well, it doesn't seem to be useful, speed up and prepare for the end...... ）
