"A ray of light!"
Upon hearing Roy's instructions, the elven girl began chanting without hesitation. Her elegant golden figure swiftly darted through the monster horde, slaying a large number of monsters.
As the crisp sound faded, countless emerald green orbs of light appeared and flew forward, instantly blasting any monster that came into contact with them.
A clear road was blasted open.
Roy shouted, "Forward!"
The four of them took off running, crossing the empty road that had been blasted open, and disappeared into the tunnel. The monsters behind them stopped and eventually turned and left.
Upon reaching the eighteenth floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought I was going to die."
Daphne and Cassandra embraced each other.
Roy and Ryu exchanged a glance, a smile appearing on their faces. Facing that monster feast they had just witnessed, any LV.2 team...
They were all completely wiped out; at worst, they retreated to the surface.
They managed to break through the monster's feast.
Ryu asked, "What's next?"

Roy felt like he had truly become the external brain of the elven girl. "I'll take a day off and camp in the wild. Accommodation in town is too expensive."
He and Ryu were in good physical condition, while Daphne and Cassandra were already exhausted and collapsed.
Moreover, since she was already there, it was impossible not to present flowers to her former teammate. Ryu looked at Roy with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, which he clearly noticed.
Roy stored twenty days' worth of food and water, as well as supplies like a tent, in the ring.
The expedition had ample time.
The group pitched their tents in the wild, then walked through the forest to the grave of Alise Rofer and the others' equipment, where they laid a large bouquet of flowers.
Daphne and Cassandra looked on with respect. These fallen elders of the Familia were all worthy of respect, and countless people in Orario had benefited from their help.
Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Roy laughed and said, "Let's go for a stroll in town; I've never been before."
"Yay!"
Girls seem to have some kind of obsession with shopping. Daphne and Cassandra, who were about to collapse from exhaustion, suddenly straightened their backs and their steps became lighter.
Ryu could only follow behind them.
The eighteenth floor, "Rivera Town," is a town built by adventurers. It is located on the eastern part of an island facing a lake. It sits atop a cliff more than two hundred meters high and is surrounded by walls made of crystal and rock, which are strong enough to defend against monster attacks.
Roy and his three companions arrived at the town gate.
A stone tablet stands nearby, with the number "315" inscribed on it in Common Language.
This is the number of times "Rivera Town" has been rebuilt.
Although this is a safe floor where no monsters will be born, it is still an underground city, and "Rivera Town" always suffers whenever an anomaly occurs.
Once adventurers sense danger, they will immediately abandon the town and return to the surface.
After everything is destroyed, the adventurers will return to this floor to rebuild the town.
From the beginning until now, it has been rebuilt a total of 315 times, which also means it has been destroyed so many times.
As Roy and his companions entered the town, they were greeted by a multitude of shops, tents, small shacks, and street stalls; there was hardly a single building that could be described as a structure.
As for food and other supplies, they were ridiculously expensive, costing ten or even dozens of times more than those on the surface, leaving the two newlyweds dumbfounded.
So Roy preferred to camp with them in the wild rather than stay at the hotel.
It's impossible to do business in a place like this without some kind of strength; high-level adventurers, rarely seen on the surface, are everywhere here.
Average level 2 per person!
You can see quite a few at LV.3 as well.
Rivera Town, established by the combined efforts of adventurers from various clans, has no lord or order; it is a lawless town where the law of the jungle is fully displayed, and power equals status.
"Hey, it seems someone else has gone missing!"
Suddenly, Roy and the others noticed that the adventurers in the town were heading in the same direction.
Roy and Ryu exchanged a glance, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. Could it be that they were really that unlucky that their first expedition was going to encounter such an unexpected situation?
Roy said, "Let's go take a look!"
Ryu and the other two had no objections and followed.
Gathering intelligence and information in the dungeon is crucial; otherwise, when something unusual happens, everyone else will run away while they foolishly stay behind to die.
Upon arriving at an open space, they found it already crowded with hundreds of adventurers.
"Even in the fiercest winds, the seeds of justice still sprout."
The arrival of Roy and his group immediately attracted the attention of many people. The war game had been broadcast live throughout the city, and those who did not know them were rare.
"You've come at the right time!" A muscular, burly man walked over, his face fierce, wearing a black eye patch over his left eye, looking like no good person. He exuded power, revealing his broad shoulders and abs.
Perse Elder!
LV.3, a powerful senior adventurer who runs a purchasing station in "Rivera Town". He has close relationships with the leaders and members of various high-ranking clans and has the authority to command the entire town in emergency situations.
Roy recalled the man's information in his mind and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
"It's great that you understood so quickly."
Perth said, "There's a very strange monster on the twenty-fourth floor. More than a dozen high-level adventurers have gone missing. We suspect it's an enhanced species."
Upon hearing this, an uproar immediately ensued.
Enhanced species!
Encountering such a monster is definitely not a good thing for adventurers.
The enhanced species possesses unique abilities unlike other monsters, and its danger is no less than that of the floor master!
The most famous of them all is the "Bloodstained Giant," which is said to have ravaged the dungeons for over ten years.
When the guild learned of its existence, a large number of high-level adventurers had already been killed. Later, they dispatched a subjugation team composed of LV.3 and LV.4 adventurers, which also suffered a large-scale casualty of more than fifty people.
This forced the guild to request the deployment of the Freya Familia, which finally defeated the "Bloodstained Giant." It is speculated that this enhanced species' stats were above Lv.5.
Perth said, "We're preparing to hunt down that monster, and you'll be joining the expedition. Your destination will also be the 24th floor."
Without dealing with that enhanced species, the expedition cannot proceed smoothly.
Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra looked at Roy.
The surrounding crowd looked on with strange expressions. It was one thing for the two newcomers to be so, but even the LV.4 Gale seemed to be focused on "Sprouts of Justice," which was quite unusual.
Roy lowered his head in thought. "Okay, but we just encountered the Monster Feast on the seventeenth floor. We're not strong enough and need to rest for the night."
"This is such a hassle, I can only give you five hours at most." Perth scratched his head in annoyance.
The group returned to their tents in the wilderness.
Roy took out an expensive silkworm pillow from his spatial ring and tossed it to Cassandra.
"Sweetie, go to sleep!"
