After killing who knows how many waves of monsters.
Ling Xuan and Ryu also arrived at the end of the floor.
Compared to other places, after clearing out all the monsters within, it could be considered a safe area.
The two discussed briefly and decided to rest here for a short while before returning the way they came.
After all, several hours of continuous travel and constant fighting were more or less tiring.
Most importantly, they did not bring enough food to allow them to adventure in this Underground Labyrinth for too long.
In fact, in terms of area alone, the Underground Labyrinth is actually larger than imagined.
Even for 'First-Class Adventurers' to travel between the depths of the Underground Labyrinth and the surface, it would take several days.
Therefore, starting from the middle floors, when exploring the Underground Labyrinth, one needs to grasp the rhythm and begin to adjust their own state.
Otherwise, if a little bit of fatigue accumulates continuously, it will eventually turn into an unbearable burden, revealing its ferocity to the adventurers.
After some thought, Ling Xuan also decided to rest in place and then return the way he came.
As for the deeper floors...
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future...
And while resting, Ryu hesitated to speak several times.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan was also very curious.
After the two of them completely cleared out the surrounding monsters, Ling Xuan naturally didn't have as much caution.
"If you don't mind, how about sitting next to me?"
And Ryu looked at Ling Xuan with a very complex expression.
"It's really quite strange... Ling Xuan..."
During their time together today, Ryu had to admit that Ling Xuan was indeed a very special existence.
Not only was his strength astonishingly strong, but he was also very cautious.
Despite only becoming an adventurer a few days ago, he could practically talk about information on various monsters, not to mention.
Even his strength was monster-level.
One of the reasons Ryu joined this party was originally to protect Ling Xuan.
Now it seemed she was protecting a hammer.
Which adventurer had such strength right after becoming an adventurer...
And those two pistols that could shoot flames and cause terrifying casualties.
Ryu was somewhat numb.
Was she out of touch with the times?
Ling Xuan, who was next to her, seemed to have seen through Ryu's thoughts and asked with some curiosity.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling a bit unwell?"
Hearing these words, a complex expression also appeared on Ryu's face.
"No... that's not the problem, Ling Xuan, your special behavior is really... that kind of... very special kind..."
Ling Xuan's specialness made her not know where to start talking.
This day of adventuring life made her recall her past days.
At the same time, she also understood Ling Xuan better.
Just at this moment, Ryu seemed to have remembered something.
Just at this moment, Ling Xuan's voice echoed again.
"Ling Xuan, if there's a chance in the future, I hope Ling Xuan can give me some time to go to the safe area on the 18th floor."
Hearing these words, Ling Xuan was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Ling Xuan's somewhat lost look, Ryu also showed a disappointed expression.
"If it's troublesome, then..."
However, the next second, Ling Xuan's voice echoed.
"Hmm~ Okay."
"The 18th floor? Of course, we can stop by then."
When he heard this request, he could already guess what Ryu was going to do. Understanding the reason behind it, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, they would definitely reach the 18th floor later.
Stopping by then wouldn't be a big deal, and it could also serve as a place to rest.
Plus, he could also increase Ryu's favorability.
This was a sure-fire profitable deal.
And Ryu didn't know Ling Xuan's thoughts. At this moment, she looked at Ling Xuan with considerable surprise.
Meeting Ling Xuan's gaze, Ryu felt as if her thoughts had been seen through.
"Indeed... Ling Xuan... is very special!"
The two continued to rest and chat like this.
They continued to rest in place for a while, until the low growls of monsters echoed in the cave again, and only then did the two get up from the ground one after another.
"It seems the break is over."
Ryu listened to the echoing low growls, subconsciously assuming a defensive posture, her hand already on her weapon.
"Ah, indeed."
"Then let's head back to the surface now. Next time we come, we'll bring more food, so it's easier for us to continue exploring downwards."
...
By the time the two returned to the surface, it was already dawn.
There was only one entrance and exit to the Dungeon, and there were already some adventurers vaguely around the entrance and exit.
Just as the two walked out of the Dungeon, they also saw a huge box.
It looked like a cargo box...
No, the roar of a monster came from within!
Seeing Ling Xuan's attention focused on the cargo box.
Ryu also explained.
"Ling Xuan just became an adventurer not long ago, right? Then you might not know much about some things. These are monsters prepared for the Monster Festival."
Upon saying this, Ling Xuan immediately recalled it.
So it was this time already.
The so-called Monster Festival was actually an event held by Ganesha.
It was one of the few carnivals in the entire Orario.
Ling Xuan recalled the memories of the Monster Festival in his mind.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Freya will probably cause some trouble again."
If he remembered correctly, on the day of the Monster Festival, Freya caused trouble by releasing the monsters from the Monster Festival, which also caused quite a bit of chaos.
However, Ling Xuan didn't really care much about this matter.
After all, for him, this group of low-level monsters were just one shot per kid!
Thinking this, Ling Xuan also began to look forward to the arrival of the Monster Festival!
