"Good morning, everyone. Ike's dwarf accent with a thick nasal voice is so distinctive that it can be easily distinguished even if you don't look at it: "From the eighth floor, even if you start exploring the unknown area in earnest." The eighth floor, I'm still familiar with most of the locations, only a few areas have only been to one or two times, but to the ninth floor, most of the areas I have never been to, then we will stand on the same starting line, I hope everyone will cooperate fully. ”

"Let's explore the designated area on the eighth floor first. No matter what Pannis was thinking, the expression on his face remained normal, and he replied with an impassive expression: "Maybe we found our target on the eighth layer, and we don't need to go to the ninth layer, hahaha, although the possibility is not large, but no matter how small the possibility is, it is not zero after all." ”

"Is it really good to comfort yourself like this?" Lina didn't know when she started, she had been eating breakfast with a blank face, and when she heard Pannis's words, she splashed cold water coldly: "I said it a long time ago, Mr. Ike has already traveled all over the eighth floor, if the mission target is really on the eighth floor, he would have found out a long time ago, do you still have to wait for us?"

"Let's stop talking nonsense. Catherine wiped her one-handed sword with the deerskin for the last time, and the scales on her body clanged as she stood up: "Since you are all full, let's get ready to go, work hard today, try to explore all the areas that need to be explored on the eighth floor, and if you still can't find the target, then try to enter the ninth floor before resting at night." ”

After last night's rest, everyone was rejuvenated in the morning, and it was strange that in the underground world of Earth Marks, people always seemed to have endless strength, and they would feel that their strength was a little greater than usual, and I don't know if it was people's illusion, or if there was really some strange ingredient in the environment that made everyone have such a change. It is precisely because of this that after a good night's sleep, the girls who should have had sore muscles found that their bodies were completely normal, as if yesterday's vicious battle was just an illusion.

Under Catherine's command, the six men simply cleaned up the camp. There is no need to carefully erase your traces here, so you can just tidy up your belongings, and as for things like food scraps, the Warcraft naturally have dealings with them, and there is no need for adventurers to bother at all.

After sorting out everything, the six of them energetically marched towards the eighth floor, still Catherine and Ike were exploring the way in front, the three spell-casting professional girls walked in the center, and Pannis followed the back of the team in a leisurely manner, but when everyone didn't notice, Lina quietly stepped forward, came to Pannis's side, and whispered: "Thank you for telling her that last night, but what you told her is true? Do you really think that as long as you find those problems that have been ignored, you can find the target?"

"Of course. Pannis lowered his voice and said, "Trust me, I never lie." ”

"Did you say less?" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Lina regained her nature, stepped on Pannis, rolled her eyes and said: "I hope what you said is true, if necessary, also tell us, although we are not as experienced as you, but a few people together, it is better than you to be alone." ”

"Well, if necessary, I'll talk to you. Pannis nodded: "There are a few things that I haven't figured out yet, this is the key point, and when I figure it out, it is equivalent to finding the key." ”

"Hey, what are you two plotting?" Vivien noticed that Lina had sneaked away, and turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and follow, or I won't care if I get lost." ”

Lina and Pannis looked at each other and smiled, Lina took a few quick steps to catch up with Vivien, patted her on the head defiantly, and the two fell into trouble again.

The eighth-level entryway chosen by the six of them is a gentle spiral slope that seems to have been a waterway a long time ago, but the tunnel was formed after the river dried up. Walking down the ramp, the rock wall is still full of exposed hedrons, and some of the hedrons even fall directly from the hedron clusters and fall to the ground. On the Yala continent, the spar vein is very distinctive, the spar growing in the vein is divided into two types: inactive type and active type, as can be seen from the name, the deactivated type refers to the spar whose internal energy has escaped, mainly growing in the periphery of the spar vein, and the active type refers to the spar that is full of energy inside, which generally appears in the core area of the vein. Because the spar will continue to grow and extend from the core of the vein like a plant, the spar mine that loses energy will be squeezed outward by the new energy-filled spar mine, and the area will become larger and larger, often forming a trace of the earth. For the processed spar, once the energy inside is consumed, it will lose its luster and color and turn into a white transparent crystal, but if it is a naturally deactivated spar mine, even if there is no energy, it will emit a certain brightness of fluorescence as it is now.

Freya picked up a calf-sized hedron from the side of the road, perhaps this hedron was filled with tens of thousands of terres when it was reborn countless years ago, but now it is just a glowing ornament. The heavy hedron was inconvenient to hold and could not adjust the brightness, so Freya lost the idea of using it for lighting and shook her head and threw it aside. Circling down the gentle slope along the way, I don't know how many circles, and finally heard Ike's voice: "The exit has arrived, and this is the eighth floor." ”

Before they reached the exit of the eighth floor, the girls felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, originally the upper seven floors had been humid and hot, but once they reached the eighth floor, they became dry and scorching.

"Denya, it's like breaking into the workshop of a blacksmith on a hot summer day. Lina habitually drew a square on her chest that represented the four squares of the earth, and muttered, "Why is it so hot here?" ”

"It's going to be hotter down there. Ike explains, "Sometimes explorers joke that this place is like a mythical hell after death, and if you live here for a long time, even your soul will break, hahahaha." ”

"Those myths and legends may be based on this place. Catherine really couldn't understand Ike's sense of humor, and said with a reluctant smile: "In such a hot environment, will there really be a large number of demonic beasts to survive?"

"Didn't Pannis just say that, he saw one last night. Ike said: "The kind of demonic beast he described is quite common in the eighth layer, it is no longer a bug, it is more like an ordinary demonic beast common on the ground, by the way, below the eighth layer, there are basically these normal demonic beasts, except for the strange appearance that no one has ever seen, there are not too many special characteristics." ”

"I wonder how they have endured the environment for so long. Catherine wiped the sweat from her forehead: "If you stay here for a few days, you will probably die of dehydration." ”

"Catherine. Pannis suddenly shouted in the team, "It's almost time, everyone can use ice attribute hedron fragments to cool down." It doesn't take too much, two pieces at a time, one for the upper body and one for the lower body. ”

"It's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. "Because Catherine was wearing a protective gear, she was the hottest one, but she habitually kept herself dignified at all times, so she felt quite hard after only ten minutes of walking, and several times she wanted to propose to use the hedron but endured it, and I don't know if it was because she didn't appear vulnerable, or if she was simply reluctant to use it. However, hearing Pannis's words, she still breathed a sigh of relief, and gestured: "Everyone hurry up and use it, Vivien, you can use it too, even if you don't feel hot, it's just because you don't feel it, it doesn't mean that your body doesn't respond to the heat." ”

"Got it. Vivian nodded, and together with everyone, each activated two fragments of ice attribute crystals of one hundred terres, and as soon as they were put into their clothes, they felt a refreshing coolness gushing out of the fragments, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped their whole bodies, making the girls almost want to moan in comfort.

"Whew, it's alive. Freya let out a sigh of relief, and was in the mood to look around. It can be seen that in the eighth layer, the hedron clusters on the rock wall are no longer colorful and colorful spars, most of the hedron clusters here are orange-red, with only a small number of other colors, and there is no blue spar representing the energy of the ice attribute. Such a lighting environment makes everything in the underground world seem to be dyed with a faint layer of red as if under the reflection of the setting sun.

"Everyone, pay attention to the front, it's almost time. After walking for a while, Ike suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and said, "One of the wonders of the space below the eighth floor of the underground world, you can see it right away." ”

The location Ike was referring to was a previously common underground cavern, which was said to be a trace of the ground that had not yet been connected to the ground. The hollow was surrounded by an open space, like a cave on the plain, and the roof of the cave above was correspondingly a cave that extended upwards, but there was no view of the outside world. This hole is so deep that you can't see the bottom, and you can't tell how deep it is underneath, let alone what the bottom is, you can only vaguely see a faint red shimmer in the depths of the hole. Under Ike's reminder, everyone took a few steps back from the edge of the underground cavern, and less than a minute later, the air suddenly became even hotter, and in front of everyone's eyes, a huge flame pillar as thick as the cavity rushed out of the ground like a fountain, and rushed into the cave above, the fierce churning flames burned silently, even if the girls used ice attribute crystals, they could still feel the high temperature coming to their faces.

The fountain-like pillar of flame lasted for a full thirty seconds before it dissipated without warning as it had appeared, leaving only the smell of burnt air permeating the cavern on the eighth floor, proving that everything just now was not a dream. (To be continued.) )
