Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"There's no need to thank you. After all, your contribution to Orario is worth saving you once. Now that you're awake, I should leave." Li De waved his hand and stood up.

"I'm leaving. Where are you going?" Liu asked subconsciously.

"To the deep layer! Why, you want to come with me?" Li De asked casually.

"If possible, please let me contribute to your adventure in exploring the deep layer." Liu nodded directly. After all, the life-saving grace must be repaid.

"This is a bit distressing. After all, I didn't plan to return in a short time after going to the deep layer. I know you want to be grateful, but if you follow me, can you go through each floor and return to the middle floor by yourself?" Li De looked at Liu and asked.

"I still have some confidence in my strength." Liu nodded.

"But I don't have confidence in you. Well, if you want to follow me, just follow me, but don't regret it when the time comes." Li De said after thinking for a while.

"I regret it." Although Liu said this, the firmness in her eyes told Li De that she would repay Li De's life-saving grace.

"Then let's go!" Li De stretched out his hand to Liu.

"That. Lord Xide, what does this mean?" Liu looked at Li De's hand and asked at a loss for a moment.

"Of course I'm taking you forward, otherwise you can't keep up with my speed. After all, it only took me a dozen breaths to bring you down from the ground." Li De said lightly.

"A dozen breaths?!" Liu looked at Li De in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li De asked with a puzzled look.

"That, Lord Xide, I want to confirm that this is the safe zone on the 18th floor underground, right?" Liu asked after forcing himself to calm down.

"Yes, this is a real safe zone, and Rivera Town is just one kilometer away. What's wrong?" Li De continued to ask with a puzzled expression.

"Then I don't know how long I was unconscious?" Liu continued to ask.

"A few minutes, that injury is nothing, but you must have been physically and mentally exhausted before, so you spent a little more time to heal. Otherwise, it would only take a short time to heal your body, and you would be able to recover and wake up." Li De said after thinking for a while.

"A few minutes?!" After hearing Li De's words, Liu couldn't help but exclaimed again.

Although Liu felt that it was a little impossible, Liu did not doubt Li De. Her personality did not allow her to doubt her savior, even if she felt that Li De's words were a bit of a boast.

"So can we set off now?" Li De said to Liu again.

"Yes!" After saying that, Liu stretched out his hand and placed it on Li De's palm.

Seeing this scene, Li De nodded secretly in his heart.

After all, the elves in the world of Dicuo only let the objects of recognition touch their skin.

Therefore, in the original book, apart from Alixie Rofiel, the former leader of the Astraea family, and Hill Frois, who saved her life, only Bell Crane, the protagonist, had touched Liu's body.

Now Liu was willing to put his hand in Li De's palm, which meant that Li De was recognized by her.

The next second, Liu found that the surrounding scenery changed from the candlelight forest to the dark cave.

However, before Liu had time to observe the surroundings, the surrounding environment changed again three times in a row.

When it was the fourth time, the environment finally did not change immediately.

Liu found that he was in a cave full of crystals at the moment, and a cool breeze blew from the depths of the cave.

Li De had already let go of Liu's palm, and with a snap of his fingers, a soft light appeared beside Li De, illuminating the dim cave.

"Let's go!" Li De said, turning around and walking towards the direction of the deep cave.

"Oh!" Liu, who had recovered from the shock, followed immediately, but while she was following, her eyes were constantly looking at the surrounding environment.

Because these environments gave her a sense of familiarity.

No way!

As she walked down further, Liu became more and more unbelievable.

Until she saw the blue light and faint sound coming from the exit of the cave, Liu murmured: "Water sound."

The next moment, Liu, who walked out of the cave with Li De, was speechless.

Because she was shocked by the magnificent scenery in front of her.

The waterfall that fell straight down played a roaring movement, and the crystal sky formed countless valleys and cliffs.

The water spray that turned into mist was floating in the air, and you could also see the soaring half-human birds and singing birds.

The sharp cry echoed in the air, and the flying feathers cut through the sky.

The majestic "Water Paradise" appeared in front of Li De and Liu.

"No matter how many times I see it, it feels so spectacular!" Li De looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

Because this is the deepest place Bert had reached when he was leveling up with him.

This natural landscape in the underground city is still amazing even if Li De sees it again.

The most dazzling one is the 400-meter-wide waterfall in the center of the field of vision - the legendary blue waterfall.

"It's really spectacular!" Liu on the side echoed.

Although the scenery in front of her is very shocking, she will naturally be immune to it after watching it a few times. What really shocked Liu at this moment was Li De's speed.

You know, about a dozen breaths ago, she and Li De were still in the safe zone on the 18th floor.

If it weren't for her personal experience, Liu would never have believed that all this was true.

However, in the blink of an eye, Li De took her from the 18th floor to the passage from the 24th floor to the 25th floor.

This speed cannot be described as fast.

"It's teleportation magic!" Li De saw Liu's expression and knew what she was thinking, so he explained.

"Teleportation magic, it's really appropriate." Liu couldn't help but say.

"Let's go!" Li De stretched out his hand to Liu again.

Although Li De had not explored the 25th floor that year, with Li De's current mental power, let alone covering the 25th floor, he could sense the deeper 26th floor and even the 27th floor clearly.

"Okay!" Liu said and put his hand on Li De's hand again.

The next second, the environment changed again.

Before being transferred again, Liu had time to take a look at the surrounding environment and confirmed that it was the passage from the 27th floor to the 28th floor.

After all, she had arrived here with her companions a few years ago.

But after that, Liu didn't recognize anyone.

I don't know how many times I teleported. When Li De stopped again, an unbelievable magnificent view came into Liu's sight.

In front of her was a gray forest, as if covered with a layer of gray, which submerged all the surrounding space until the end of the distant floor.

There was a river flowing between the trees in the shape of leaf veins, and the blue river continued to flow.

The phosphorescence on the ceiling was not dazzling, and it felt like dusk. Looking around, Liu realized that she and Li De were on a large rock platform ten meters high, looking at the scenery just now.

"Lord Sid, where is this?" Liu couldn't help asking.

"The 50th floor underground! This is a deep place that many adventurers in Orario find difficult to reach. It is a gray forest sleeping under the deep earth. It is also the last safe zone among the explored floors." Li De looked at the scenery in front of him and replied lightly.

"The 50th floor?!" Liu was really shocked this time.

Since she confirmed that Li De would teleport, she had a hunch that Li De's target was in a very deep place, but she didn't expect it to be so deep.

Originally, she thought that Li De's target would be the 38th floor. After all, if you want to stay for a while, you must choose a safe floor as your base.

After the 18th floor, there are only the 28th floor, the 38th floor and the 50th floor.

And for Liu, even the 38th floor is not a place that anyone can reach.

After all, the floor master of the 37th floor, Udaeus, is not a good person.

But Liu didn't expect that Li De's destination was actually the 50th floor.

And if you want to return to the surface from here, the first person you have to face is the floor master guarding the wilderness on the 49th floor, Barol, the king of the Fomor tribe.

It is much more difficult to deal with this floor master than the previous floor masters. After all, there are a large group of Fomors with individual strength reaching Lv.4 around him.

It is impossible to fight alone like the previous crusade against several floor masters.

Therefore, only the expeditionary forces led by the first-level adventurers from the powerful factions can reach the 50th floor.

"What are you going to do next?" Li De suddenly asked Liu.

"I don't know either." Liu shook her head.

It's not that Liu wants to stay with Li De, but she really doesn't have any idea. After all, she thought she was going to die not long ago.

You know, the moment she got her revenge, she had given up the idea of ​​​​surviving, so how could she think about the future.

"I will stay here for several days before returning to the surface." Li De talked about his plan.

In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of dispersing the aura of other girls entangled with him and confirming his guess, Li De would have opened the boundary gate to let Claire and others come over.

"Stay for a few days?" Liu actually didn't have any special ideas about where to stay and what to do.

But there was one thing Liu had to consider, that is, how she was going to live these days.

After all, Li De didn't have anything around him, and she only had two small swords left by his companions and a wooden sword, Elf Streamer.

Apart from weapons, there were no other items.

So the problem Liu faced was the lack of survival supplies.

She needed food and water, and clean clothes, after all, she was still wearing the blood-stained clothes.

As for the place to live, she had no problem sleeping in the open for a few days. Anyway, the temperature in this layer of the Gray Forest was okay, at least she didn't feel cold.

"Do you want to ask how to survive these days?" Li De asked after seeing Liu's hesitation.

"Hmm" Liu hummed.

After all, she felt very embarrassed at the moment. She came to help, but she was not only unable to help, but also became a burden.

After getting the answer, Li De tapped the ground lightly with his foot.

Along with the vibration, a tree broke out of the ground and then grew rapidly.

In less than a few breaths, it grew into a wooden house with a large area in Liu's sight.

"I have a place to live!" Li De said and walked into the wooden house.

Coming to the table and chairs that grew in the hall, Li De sat down and stretched out his hand to tap the edge of the table.

As a magic circle covered the table, a table of dishes, tableware and a bottle of red wine appeared.

"The food problem is solved." Li De said again.

As soon as the voice fell, Li De snapped his fingers, and a ball of pure water appeared out of thin air.

Then he poured it into the transparent glass on the table.

"Drinking water is also available. As for water for washing and brushing one's teeth." Li De had just said this when Liu quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt Li De's words.

"Please don't worry about this!" Liu said quickly.

After all, she couldn't let Li De continue to talk about water for washing and brushing one's teeth, because whether it was the river that ran through the forest or the small puddle formed by the accumulation of water in a depression on the giant rock, it could meet Liu's needs for washing and brushing one's teeth.

"Then you should have only one need left. I'll lend you this thing for the time being." Li De said, and then he took out a silver bracelet and threw it to Liu.

After reaching out to catch the bracelet thrown by Li De, Liu looked at Li De with a bit of reluctance.

"Use magic power to pour into the bracelet." Li De said immediately.

"Oh." Liu immediately took the bracelet and poured magic power into it.

Then she found that the silver bracelet in her hand suddenly turned into a soft ball of silver substance.

"This thing can mimic your thoughts and can be used as replacement clothing." Li De immediately explained.

"I see, thank you, Lord Sid, I'll leave you for a while." Liu understood how to use it after using her mind to control the silver liquid substance in her hand to change several forms.

In fact, when Liu found that the silver substance could change according to her thoughts, she couldn't hide her surprise.

After all, this kind of thing is just like the magic shown by Li De, she had never heard of it before.

Therefore, she didn't need to think about how valuable the silver material in her hand was, but Liu didn't refuse.

One is that she needs replacement clothes, the other is that Li De didn't give this thing but borrowed it, and the other is that she owed Li De more than one favor, so one more was fine.

Then Liu walked out of the wooden house directly, and then jumped a few times and ran towards the river under the giant rock.

When she appeared again, she had washed up, and the slime battle suit had also mimicked into a set of green dresses and was worn on her body.

"Not bad, it suits you well." Li De praised Liu after seeing her walk in.

After all, although Liu is beautiful, her appearance is still a few points behind Alpha, who also has blonde hair.

Not to mention her figure, which is at least two or three levels behind Alpha.

But even so, a beauty is still a beauty, and it's always right to praise her.

"Thank you!" Liu said with a slightly ruddy face.

"Liu, have you figured out the real purpose of the bracelet I gave you?" Li De suddenly asked.
