Chapter 00117: The Expedition Officially Begins, Entering The 51St Floor! 

Going deeper and deeper.

Time seems to have completely lost its meaning at this time. In the eyes of the Loki Familia, the most important thing now is to defeat all the monsters, and then continue to move forward.

Even if the obstacles are getting bigger and bigger, it doesn't stop everyone.

And as the floor went deeper, the speed of the team's advancement also began to slow down. It was not until the great wilderness on the forty-ninth floor that the real test had just begun.

This place can no longer be regarded as a lower layer, nor a deep layer, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is an ultra-deep layer.

Starting from the forty-ninth floor, all monsters have abilities comparable to first-level adventurers, and many of their inner potentials are also very terrifying. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble, even serious injury or death.

Facing the hordes of Fermor, the front row 'tanks' who were able to firmly block the impact before facing various monsters also began to become very weak at this time.

Powerful monsters often broke through the defence line, and that kind of terrifying impact was simply not something that adventurers below Lv.5 could bear.

If it weren't for Finn's calm and appropriate leadership ability, coupled with the firefighting backbone of various high-level adventurers, this team might have already been broken through by monsters and slaughtered wantonly, but even so, there are still many adventurers who were injured.

This was only supported by the fire support of the magician troops.

After all, this is the first expedition of the Loki Familia. There are many adventurers in the team who have never experienced such great pressure, so it is normal for the defense line to collapse occasionally.

In the end, Yami couldn't stand it any longer, and continued to provide support, which stabilized the situation.

After a charge, the large troops finally rushed into the safe passage leading to the fiftieth floor.

The Loki Familia who finally entered the safe floor were undoubtedly relieved, and then they set up camp and began to rest, and then treated the wounded.

The purpose of their trip is not over yet, since it is an expedition, the farther they go, the better.

Yami and Tsubaki are busier, fighting more powerful monsters, there is no doubt that the loss of equipment has become greater, and the equipment of many adventurers has been completely destroyed, even if they have spare equipment, but a batch of substitutes is still needed.

Otherwise, in the course of the battle, if the equipment is suddenly damaged, it would not be so wonderful.

All kinds of powerful monsters will not talk to you morally, and will seize any opportunity to break the neck of the adventurer and blow his head off.

Therefore, the importance of equipment is reflected at this time.

Even if many adventurers have not reached Lv. 5, they can still hinder the impact of monsters because of the existence of these equipment.

But next, adventurers of a slightly lower level may not be able to help.

After a rest period, the number of explorers following will drop sharply. After all, the loss is not particularly large if you rush to the fiftieth floor, but it is not small either.

After summing up, Finn and other backbones decided to proceed with the elite exploration method.

To put it simply, let the main force carry out the next exploration, and the others only need to stay in the safe floor to rest and meet their return at any time.

After all, the gap in strength is too great, and no matter how many people there are, it will not have the slightest effect.

After disposing of all the equipment, Yami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He has gradually adapted to this kind of life. Although he still feels a little bored, his forging skills have indeed been improved in this repeated forging.

It was only at this time that he had time to look at the situation on the fiftieth floor.

The surrounding area seemed to be covered by volcanic ash. Whether it was the ground or the forest, they were now dyed gray. Among the tall trees, blue streams shone with luster. The ceiling tens of meters above the ground was like a rock. The stalactite-like rock pillars emit a faint phosphorescence.

If the town of Rivera on the eighteenth floor simulates the alternation of day and night, then there is only night left here.

To be honest, Yami didn't expect that the Loki Familia could go so far in their first expedition. Although he doesn't know if they have gone on an expedition before, it can be said that there are very few Familia members who can reach the fiftieth floor. Except for the Freya Familia, there are very few people who can do it.

After all, the forty-ninth floor is like a barrier, keeping all weak adventurers out.

Even at the same level, adventurers are much stronger than monsters, but if they encounter a terrifying monster feast, they will still die on the spot.

Therefore, even first-level adventurers would not choose to run to such a deep place without full confidence.

It's really hard to imagine how the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia had so many Lv.8, or even Lv.9, and how many monsters they had to collect in the dungeon to get to that point. !

Not only that, even such a powerful existence was still destroyed by the black dragon, so one can imagine how mysterious the dungeon is.

However, Yami did not have the slightest fear, but was full of expectations.

With power but without opponents, life would become boring. He didn't want to develop into a certain bald teacher one day.

That mysterious black dragon should be able to make him use his full strength!

"No, I may not be the opponent of the black dragon now. My strength should be at the level of Lv.8, or it may be equivalent to Lv.9, but it will definitely not exceed this level. So if I challenge the black dragon now, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with the black dragon. Hitting a pebble with a rock makes no difference."

After a short period of dizziness, Yami quickly calmed down.

He has a very clear understanding of himself, and he may occasionally take a small risk, but he will never take the initiative to seek death. The reality is not a time travel simulation. If he dies, he is really dead

Even though he now possesses impressive strength, he still hasn't forgotten the way of 'dog' buried deep in his heart!

"Master, it's time to eat!"

A burst of aroma hits his nostrils.

The next moment, Yami felt something hard hit the back of his head.

"I get it, Tiona, but I've said it many times before!" Yami slowly raised his head, with a helpless expression on his face, "Be careful, a man and a woman can't kiss each other, and we still master and apprentice, you are a girl!"

Most importantly, you don't have that condition at all!

If Tione or Riveria gave him a 'death crash', Yami might be able to accept it reluctantly, but don't you know what your own conditions are?

If it wasn't for his head being hard enough, he would have been hit by the washboard just now!

"Hee hee, what does it matter? We Amazons all have such personalities. We can say what we want and do what we want, so we don't care about other people's eyes~"

"Besides, Master, you are so powerful, you are completely the Argonaut hero in my mind, and you also helped our Familia to tide over the difficulties, so you should be taken care of by me."

"Hehe, there's no need for that."

Yami laughed dryly, expressing his rejection righteously.

He is not the kind of superficial man, master and apprentice, he just thinks about it, as for the real thing, as long as you can reach the level of Ais, he of course will agree. 

Although Tiona is beautiful, but she lacks enough capital, it is difficult to impress him!

"Okay, let's not take this as an example, didn't you say dinner?"

"Yes, Captain asked me to invite you to dinner, and by the way, he plans to discuss the next thing." Speaking of business, Tiona's attention also shifted.

Yami seized this opportunity, got up quickly and said: "In this case, let's go there quickly, and don't make Captain Finn wait."

"Okay then, let's go now!"

Hearing these words, Tiona had no choice but to let go of her arms around Yami's head, bouncing and walking towards the center of the camp, turning her head from time to time to show a bright smile.

Seeing this, the latter shook his head immediately.

What a beautiful girl who is optimistic and cheerful!

Soon, the two walked to the center of the camp, where Finn and other backbone adventurers of the Loki Familia gathered and surrounded the campfire.

Seeing Yami's arrival, Finn smiled and stood up.

"Sir Yami, you are finally here. The dinner is already prepared. They are all very ordinary dishes with average taste. I hope you don't mind."

"Captain Finn, you are too polite. The chefs of your family are quite excellent in their craftsmanship. I can't get enough of it. You don't need to stand up. I'm not a big shot, so I don't need you to greet me specially."

"Okay then, sit down!"

After being polite to each other, everyone sat down one after another.

The high-quality ingredients of the labyrinth specialties were also taken out, and the aroma in the boiling pot was overflowing, which made the adventurers who had been tired all day suddenly twitch their index fingers.

Everyone was feasting, and by the way, they began to discuss the next plan.

"There are no outsiders here, so everyone can speak freely."

Sitting around the edge of the campfire, Finn said loudly: "The monsters on the forty-ninth floor are stronger than we imagined. Fortunately, the floor master didn't seem to be refreshed, so we were able to recover with minimal loss and reach the fiftieth floor."

"However, stopping like this is obviously not in line with our purpose. The fifty-eighth floor maintained by Freya's Familia is our goal. If possible, it is best to break through to the fifty-ninth floor."

"Of course, all of this is an ideal state and will not be forced."

"For the next journey, all members below Lv.4 don't need to continue to follow. The strength of the monsters is getting stronger and stronger. In order to avoid a large number of casualties, it is better to let the main force lead a group to explore. Does anyone have any objections?"

Hearing Finn's words, the others shook their heads almost simultaneously.

In fact, this is the most appropriate method.

Not bringing along weaker adventurers is to reduce casualties at best, and to avoid burden at worst, and the ensuing battle can be said to be quite dangerous and chaotic, even the main force must take it very seriously, it is difficult to pull out a hand to help others.

Looking around and seeing that everyone had no objections, Finn nodded in satisfaction.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's implement it like this tomorrow. Bete is responsible for opening the way in front, Ais and Tiona are on the flanks to deal with the incoming monsters, and Gareth and Tione are in charge of the rear. With your magical support, Riveria, the integrity of the formation is extremely guaranteed."

"Yes, Captain!"

Finn's order was met with no opposition.

In fact, this team has already experienced battles, big and small, and everyone expressed their trust in this short but powerful team captain of theirs.

"Then there are Sir Yami and Miss Tsubaki. Next, we plan to go deeper, so I would like to ask you to advance with us, but don't worry, if things cannot be done, we will put everyone's life safety as the first priority and go back to the fiftieth floor in time."

As if to prevent the two from thinking wildly, Finn hastily gave guaranteed.

"Ah, of course I believe what you said, Captain Finn, but I have never been to such a deep floor, so I am a little nervous, but I believe this kid in my Familia will protect me, right?"

As she spoke, Tsubaki also stabbed Yami's arm.

The latter rolled his eyes angrily, but nodded obediently, "My Captain is right, Captain Finn, you don't have to worry about our safety, at least for our safety, I can still guarantee it. "

"Of course, if you need my help, I will also help..."

"No, there is no need for Sir Yami to worry about the matter of the floor strategy. It is not a contempt, but we want to use our own strength to go to floors that no one has reached. I hope you can understand."

Before Yami finished speaking, he was interrupted by Finn.

However, the words of the other party did not surprise anyone.

"Don't worry, Captain Finn, I completely understand your thoughts, so under normal circumstances, I won't take action, but if there is any danger and you can't solve it, I will help you when the time comes, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The very peaceful words made Finn's eyes show a little gratitude.

With the words of Yami, it couldn't be better!

Although the expedition is for the honor of the Familia and the great cause of the adventurers themselves, Finn knows completely how unpredictable what will happen during the expedition.

As the group captain and leader, he naturally wanted to bring everyone back intact.

Now with Yami as the final guarantee, of course it couldn't be better!

"Then I would like to thank Sir Yami in advance. On behalf of the Loki Familia, I will always remember your help. When I go back, I will truthfully report to God Loki."

"Your words, Captain Finn, are enough."

The two men looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Throughout the night, the magic stone lamp flickered slightly.

The night was calm and nothing happened, which undoubtedly relieved the members of the Loki Familia who were in charge of the night watch.

Safe floors are theoretically safe, but not without exception.

So there were no accidents, which is a good thing no matter which aspect you look at.

In the depths of the labyrinth where there is no sunrise or sunset, only the clock that is carried with them reminds everyone that the morning is coming. The members who are selected to enter the next battle, get ready early. 

Ready to go, standing outside the camp.

In fact, almost all members wake up around this time.

They expressed regret that they could not continue their exploration, but they were also very clear about their own strength, continuing to follow would only be a drag, reaching the fiftieth floor was already the limit

So they don't have any complaints, the only thing they can do now is not to become a drag.

Then they stayed obediently on the fiftieth floor, quietly waiting for the return of the main Familia members.

Of course, some adventurers who want to continue to accumulate ability points can naturally return to the previous floor with the company of their companions, and carry out levelling activities to a certain extent.

The prerequisite is that the forty-ninth floor master should not be refreshed!

"Everyone, let's go!"

Following Finn's order, the dungeon raid began again.

Bete, who had obtained the duty of forward, was naturally very excited at this time. He, who was originally good at speed, jumped directly into the passage, accelerated and started to attack.

The purpose of the expedition is to explore unknown territories, so extra battles are completely unnecessary. At this time, the most important thing for the team is speed.

You must get rid of the entanglement of the monsters, otherwise if you are blocked, you will be in trouble at that time.

If you get hurt because you are too obsessed with fighting, and you end up getting injured and running out of resources, you are likely to die in the dungeon.

Therefore, Finn at this time can be regarded as showing the majesty of being the leaded of the regiment.

Even Ais, who was eager to become stronger, didn't dare to entangle with the monsters too much at this time, but perfectly performed her duties, cleaning up the monsters that hindered the team's progress.

Only in this case, the consumption will be reduced to a minimum.

However, this high-intensity rapid march in front of them is a burden for the mages. Since they cannot stop, they can only recover their physical strength through physical strength recovery potions.
