The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 171 Harvest and Provocation

"It's a floating crystal, vanguard, please be on guard!"

The vanguard formed a formation according to Finn's command to block the attacks from the monsters on the opposite side.

After resting for a night on the 18th floor, the expedition team continued to set off, and soon entered the lower floor. It was also the 27th floor, Ciel's highest record in the dungeon.

Most of the monsters that appear here, Char, have been seen before. Floating crystals that can launch beam attacks, half-murlocs with natural weapons, etc. appear one after another.

There was even a group of flash swallows that appeared before. This kind of monster has the fastest speed among the lower-level monsters. When it reaches full speed, it is like a bullet.

But it is only a small trouble for the Loki Familia expedition team whose target is an unknown floor below the fifty-ninth floor.

To Ciel's surprise, Ais became nervous as soon as she entered the water maze.

Sword Princess, a genius who upgraded to LV2 at the age of eight, the most dazzling star of the Loki Familia and even the entire Orario... is a landlubber!

Charles couldn't help but feel amused when he saw her deliberately staying away from the water. This doll-like girl finally showed some normal emotions.

Soon, the expedition team broke through the water maze, and Ais returned to normal.

Finally, the expedition team passed the 36th floor and arrived at the deep level. Here, all the expedition teams of the Loki Familia also completed the merger.

Finn went to Riveria and Grace to take stock of personnel and supplies, while others began to prepare to set up camp.

Camping in the deep depths is actually very dangerous, but in order to have enough energy to continue exploring, rest is also necessary.

And as long as you are familiar with the special mechanics of the dungeon, you can greatly reduce the danger.

Through the adventurers' exploration, they learned a special rule of the dungeon.

The dungeon has a self-healing function, and the dungeon will prioritize repairing damage rather than breeding new monsters.

So as long as the night watchers are arranged to continuously cause damage to the dungeon, monsters can be prevented from appearing.

In order to ensure that everyone in the team can get a certain amount of rest, the vigil will be rotated. After discussion between the two families, the vigil will be completed by both parties.

Ciel drew lots and got the first batch of vigils, and he seriously doubted Finn's secret operation, because it was Ais who stayed vigil with Ciel.

The two sat next to the magic stone lamp. Now there were only two people left. Ais's gaze made Ciel feel even more embarrassed.

Just when Charles couldn't stand the atmosphere, Ais suddenly said: "Why?"

Charles was stunned. Ais's lackluster question immediately confused Charles.

Aisi then asked: "Why didn't you have any fear when you came to the deep level for the first time?"

In the original plot, Aisi didn't even have the heart to tell the truth when she had a deep conversation with Rabbit, and just told him "you'll understand when you see it with your own eyes."

In the eyes of Ais... no, all the adventurers who have been to the Deep Depths, the Deep Depths are just like hell, dangerous and cruel.

Even though I have been there more than once, I always feel a palpitation in my heart every time I go to the deep level.

But Ciel was different. Ais didn't feel any fear from him.

Why can he be so calm? Why doesn't he tremble because of fear? The girl is extremely eager to know the answer to this question.

However, this question was such that Charles didn't really know how to answer it for a moment.

Of course, his calmness was due to his confidence in his own strength, which at this level did not make Ciel feel scared.

But I can’t answer that! My current character is that of a novice adventurer, where do I get my confidence from?

Charles didn't know how to answer Aisi's question when he suddenly saw that the wall on one side had begun to repair itself.

Charles grabbed the mining pick on the side and said, "We'll talk about it later. I'll finish the night watch first."

After saying that, Ciel ran to the wall and tapped on the wall with his small mining pick.

Even if he didn't look back, Ciel could feel that there was an emotion called resentment in Aisi's eyes when she looked at him.

In this kind of torture, Ciel finally made it to the time of shift change. After handing over the post, Ciel returned to his tent as if he was running away.

The next day, the expedition team broke camp and set off. After all, it was in the deep depths, and Ais was also a qualified adventurer. She stopped staring at Ciel and focused on the surrounding environment.

Charles finally relaxed. Compared to the deep danger, he still felt that Aisi's stubbornness was more annoying.

But Ciel was also eye-opened. The deep resources of the dungeon were far richer than he had imagined before.

The stones dropped by obsidian soldiers are high-quality materials for making anti-magic equipment, good stuff!

The fur of a wolf-faced man can make good armor, great stuff!

I heard that the skin of the skeleton sheep can be used to make invisibility tools. It's a pity that it can't be made without mystery, but it's still a good thing!

…

Not only were the materials dropped by the monsters that appeared, but Charles also saw a lot of rare ores along the way.

The expedition team collected several pieces of hard steel ore that is rare even in the lower levels.

Charles even discovered a White Holy Stone mine and successfully excavated a large White Holy Stone.

This material has excellent magic conductivity and is most suitable for making the body of a wand.

The wand Forest Teardrop in the hand of Loki Familia (Thousand Elf) Lefiya is made of the white holy stone body inlaid with the secret treasure Millennium Tree Water Drop.

Although that wand is not as good as the Supreme Five Wands, it is still a first-class item that a magician can use.

On another note, it is said that Riveria, who was born into the royal family of elves, has all the steps in her home made of white holy stones. It can only be said that she is rich and wealthy.

This is an expedition, where risks and opportunities coexist. The rewards of an expedition are simply unimaginable to adventurers who have never experienced it.

In this way, the expedition team arrived at the fiftieth floor.

The fiftieth floor was also a rare safe floor. After breaking through here, Finn decided to rest temporarily before heading deeper.

Ciel started his own work, repairing the equipment of Loki Familia one by one.

And Aisi also returned to her old ways, staring at Ciel from the side, as if she wanted to find out all his secrets.

At this moment, a werewolf boy wearing silver clothes came over, stepped on Ciel's anvil, and stepped on the long sword that Ciel was polishing.

"Hey! You idiot, why do you want Aisi to keep looking at you?"

Ciel let go of the long sword, sat up straight and looked at the werewolf boy.

(Wolf) Burt, although Charles had already learned about his evil deeds and the kindness behind them from the original work, it was really unpleasant to see him in real life.

If you know that in the original plot, Bert's inappropriate remarks almost caused internal strife among the family members, you will know how bad his mouth is.

Charles looked at Bert, whose hair was exploding, and said in a calm tone: "So you are asking for trouble because of jealousy?"

The werewolf boy had a crush on Sword Girl, which Ciel could also see. However, Ciel was quite unhappy to be picked on because of this.

"Ah? What did you say!"

Bert, who was not one who knew how to control his temper, stepped forward and grabbed Ciel's collar.

Aisi on the side did not expect that Bert would take action directly. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Charles raising his hand to stop her.

"(Ferocious Wolf) That's right! I advise you to think about the consequences before doing something or saying anything."

Just as Bert was about to speak, he saw that the pupils of Ciel's eyes seemed to have transformed into vertical pupils, with blazing flames burning in them.

He couldn't speak any more, and even when Ciel stretched out his hand to pry away his hand that was holding Ciel's collar, he made no other move.

It took a long time for Bert to react. He trembled all over and wanted to get angry at Charles.

In his opinion, it was a shame to be frightened by an inexplicable fish just now.

But before he could take action, he noticed that Ciel turned and looked into the distance, his expression becoming quite serious.

"Ais, go notify Finn that something dangerous is coming!"

After saying that, Charles rushed directly to the direction he was looking at before waiting for Bert to taunt him.
