Maze Lair

Faced with the indignation of the people behind him, Su Meng did not take it to heart at all. With the reward for killing the demonic creatures, Su Meng returned to the villa.

He had yet to count the rewards he had obtained this time.

His arrogant actions had already displeased those descendants of the aristocratic families, lest there were more incidents when he counted the rewards.

Recalling what had happened today, the corners of Su Meng's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly again. He could guess how aggrieved Xiao Shui and the others were. Other than Su Meng, probably no one else could have made such a huge impact on these descendants of the aristocratic families.

After that, he dealt with the jealous Yan Xie and Leng Yue. Su Meng immediately sorted out the rewards obtained from the killing of demonic creatures and completing the mission.

[Completed Advancement Challenge Quest. Completed Special Quest!]

[500 Kill Mission Reward—Pink Crystal (Advanced)]

[1,000 Kill Mission Reward—Starlight Ores (White Quality)]

Not only these, but Su Meng also unlocked the third artifact spirit slot. Looking at the location of the third artifact spirit, Su Meng's eyes became darker and darker, as dense as the night.

Now that he already had two attack-type artifact spirits, it seemed that he had to change to a new mode for the third one.

Suddenly, Su Meng clenched his left fist and punched himself.

I have it!

It was difficult to guard against a hidden arrow! Since there was an attack, he could completely challenge a Defense-type one now. The lair would definitely become more and more dangerous. Su Meng still had to consider his own safety.

If it was Defense, then the shield was naturally high-grade. As for the level, it naturally could not stay at Level 30. In that case, higher-grade materials were needed.

Thinking of this, a white light flashed across Su Meng's mind again.

Right on the heels of that, he took out a map from his backpack. It was given to Yan Xie by Young Master Lin today.

Su Meng did not speak. He swept away the things on the table and studied the map seriously. If they needed higher-level materials, they had to go to a higher-level lair.

In this world, lairs existed in levels. Below Level 20, they were considered low-level lairs. Above Level 20, they were considered mid to high-level lairs. The degree of risk was many times higher than low-level lairs.

In the middle and high-level lairs, there were all kinds of strange demonic creatures, including powerful big bosses. Such a place was usually the training location of the younger generation of large families. At the same time, it was also the source of high-level materials.

Generally speaking, commoners like them had no chance to approach such a powerful lair. However, that might not be the case for Su Meng.

The corners of Su Meng's mouth curled up into a smug smile again. At the same time, the VIP card from today appeared in his hand.

Fortunately, Xie Qing and the others did not see his actions tonight. Otherwise, they would have given him an evil eye. They had seen freeloaders, but they had never seen someone as shameless as him doing it so brazenly.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Su Meng coughed lightly and cleared his throat.

"Please come in!"

The door creaked open and he saw a loli and her cool older sister each holding a glass of milk.

Before Su Meng could speak, Leng Yue spoke.

"Master, milk helps you sleep. It can help you better…"

Before she could finish, Yan Xie pouted indignantly and interrupted.

"Master, drink my milk. I specially prepared this for you."

Yan Xie glared at Leng Yue. Instantly, the entire venue fell into a burst of cold atmosphere again.

Seeing that the situation was about to erupt, Su Meng, who was sitting on the bed, hurriedly stood up, picked up two cups of milk, and drank them all in one gulp.

"Alright, I'm done with both of you. Go back and rest. There's a tough battle waiting for us tomorrow."

Hearing this, the belligerent Yan Xie's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

"Master, what's fun tomorrow?"

"You'll know tomorrow. Go back and recover your strength now." Su Meng deliberately pulled a long face and reprimanded them coldly.

Yan Xie stuck out her tongue and skipped away.

Looking at Yan Xie, who was like a child, Su Meng shook his head helplessly.

…

Time passed like water in a twinkle. In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. The dazzling sunlight shone on the ground, and the streets returned to their usual liveliness.

As soon as they arrived, Su Meng brought Leng Yue and Yan Xie to the Level 25 lair. Before they could completely enter, a pair of big hands blocked their way, accompanied by a burst of mocking laughter.

"Yo, I didn't expect a mooching king like you to come and take advantage of me. You're quite well-informed. It seems that I've underestimated you."

Su Meng raised his eyebrows slightly. Other than the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Shui, Su Meng really could not think of anyone with such an annoying voice.

As expected, when he turned around, he saw Xiao Shui. Not far away was Xiao Yan'er, who was dressed appropriately. However, this was not what attracted him, but Xiao Shui's words just now. Taking advantage? What did he mean?

"Xiao Shui, what did you mean just now?"

Su Meng did not stand on ceremony and asked directly.

Hearing this, Xiao Shui thought that Su Meng was deliberately pretending to be confused and immediately started mocking him again. However, Leng Yue would not dote on him.

A cold light flashed, and the Tang Saber that could cut iron like mud quickly slashed over.

Fortunately, the guard behind Xiao Shui reacted fast and quickly pulled Xiao Shui away. With a tearing sound, a bundle of black hair fell to the ground.

Xiao Shui's eyes widened in shock, as if he was afraid. He was only a centimeter away from being beheaded. More importantly, this was the woman he liked.

Xiao Shui, who had reacted, instantly blushed and stared fiercely at Su Meng.

"Those who offend my master will be killed no matter how far they are!" Leng Yue held the Tang Saber in her hand and looked at Xiao Shui coldly.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Xiao Yan'er, who was standing at the side, hurriedly came over to smooth things over.

"Student Su, I'm sorry. My brother was rude just now."

Xiao Yan'er stood in front of Xiao Shui and looked straight at Su Meng. Her meaning was obvious. Yes, you, Su Meng, are mysterious, but our Xiao family is also not to be trifled with.

Seeing this, Su Meng smiled and gestured for Leng Yue to leave.

"Hehe, it's fine. The people around me are agitated, but I want to ask what your brother meant just now."

"According to the latest information, there is a big boss in the Level 25 lair. This matter has already alarmed the Han family, and they are preparing to go in and kill him."

"Now, the young masters of the big families in Dragon City are prepared to follow behind the Han family. This way, it will be safer. Moreover, they can follow behind them and pick up some materials that the other party doesn't want. However, they haven't arrived yet. Everyone is waiting here."
