Chapter 19: The Day of Upgrade

Today's adventurer base, the atmosphere is a little quirky.

Whether it is an adventurer who comes to do an errand, or an insider who is working, there is always a lingering solemnity in his expression.

From time to time, everyone's eyes would glance at a few stretchers covered with white cloth in the corner.

This is the first step that the fallen adventurer has to take before the body is disposed of.

Identification of the body.

The dungeon is a place of wealth and danger, where you get rich and die every day.

Dead adventurers, as long as the corpse is still there, even if there are only wreckage left, will be sent out of the dungeon by passing adventurers, away from the land of right and wrong.

This is called the return of the soul.

The corpse will be sent to the adventurer's base for identification, and their family will be notified to identify the body.

Of course, the adventurer who sent the corpse will also receive a corresponding reward according to the number of corpses, but this reward is very meager.

There are corpses that have been claimed by family members and will be brought back by their families.

Those who are unclaimed will be sent to the incinerator by the adventurer base for incineration.

The ashes are sprinkled into the flower bed and used as flower fertilizer.

I walked to the corner with a blank face and counted the stretchers one by one.

1。 2。 3。

A total of eight stretchers.

Step forward and lift the corner of the white cloth.

With a curious expression, the phoenix's little head sneaked over.

Also coming together are Lily, who is full of innocent faces, and Loki, who loves to join in the fun.

Before they could see it, I put down the white cloth again, and the corpse under the white cloth was once again tightly covered.

"Is that them?"

Phoenix asked me in a low voice.

I nodded.

She tried to uncover the white cloth, but I stopped her.

A pair of big eyes looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I shook my head.

Updated stats, we're getting out of the adventurer's base one after another.

On the thin paper, a group of data feeds back my current strength.

Name: An Xiaoyi

Gender: Male

Age: 22 years old

Grade: Five

Talent Level: E

Strength: D

Speed: E

Stamina: E

Mana: 100

Magical Ability: None

Physical Ability: None

Next to the level column, there is a bar similar to the experience slot, which is about 80%, and it is estimated that it will not be long before I will be promoted to level six.

In terms of strength, after a short period of training, I finally got on D, and it seems that I can have a good competition with Xiao Qi now.

Glancing at the ability table between Xiao Squeak's two front paws, the previous delusions were instantly overturned.

Species: Beetle

Grade: Level 2

Talents: Brutal Force (stronger than other kinds, growing faster)

Strength: D

Speed: F

Stamina: D

Agility: F

Physical Ability: None

My forehead was covered with black lines, and I looked at Xiao Qi weakly, and that look was the same as when I met the player in the game in my previous life.

Chirping.

Squeak stretched out her hand and made an innocent expression, and then patted me on the back with one of her front paws, her expression full of comfort.

But how do I look at it, I think it's gloating.

Lily and Loki's ability values have basically not changed, they are still weakly exploded at the first level, and the experience gauge is also in the middle.

The phoenix slowly leaned over, the ability value in his hand spread out to me, pointed to the experience slot, and said happily: "Look, I'm about to upgrade!" ”

I only saw the experience slot, and it was almost full of slots, and the visual inspection was about 95%.

I smiled and touched the little head of the phoenix and gave a thumbs up to show encouragement.

The phoenix smiled very proudly.

When I was about to reach the entrance of the dungeon, Phoenix suddenly looked up and asked me, "Xiao Yi, why didn't you let me see those corpses just now?" ”

"Because they don't have any clothes on."

The phoenix covered her mouth and made a look of surprise, her cheeks were a little red, and she whispered, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." ”

I smiled at her reaction.

And inside, he fell into deep contemplation.

The corpse under the white cloth belonged to the only fourth-level warrior in the adventurer team yesterday.

The reason I didn't let the phoenix see it wasn't because he didn't have any clothes.

It's because the flesh on his body has been eaten miserably.

The only thing that is still complete is the head, which is forever fixed in horror and uneasiness, and cannot even be seen even by death.

The three elite goblin warriors who had gathered together suddenly came back to their minds, their strong torsos, their thick wooden clubs with nails, and the dark red blood clots that had clotted at the corners of the nails.

Did they destroy the team of eight?

I asked myself in my heart.

Even if they were really ambushed, it was not impossible for the fellow fourth-level warriors to save their lives.

Or is it because of ridiculous self-esteem?

Would he rather die on the battlefield than come back alive alone?

Or is it...

He didn't even have a chance to escape, so he was killed in seconds?

A picture suddenly flashed through my mind, the flesh and blood of the fourth-level warrior, and the broken part of a pair of leg bones, showing an irregular zigzag shape, as if it had been broken by a heavy object.

It's unlikely.

My brow furrowed, and my palms were slightly moist.

There is only one possibility that can kill a fourth-level warrior in an instant - an elite monster above the fifth level.

Level 5. Goblin Warrior.

The ability table flashed in his mind, and his heart throbbed slightly.

It seems that I still think of the dungeon as oversimplified.

The days that followed were simple and boring.

In order to cultivate the overall strength of the team, the entire team only operates between the first and eighth floors.

I'm responsible for the security of the escort team, and the phoenix is endlessly fighting against Xiao Qi, who is also a D-level strength of one person and one worm, due to the level suppression, or the phoenix is slightly better.

Loki and Lily, the strange pair, also began an endless life of monster farming.

Since I was supervising the guards in the back, they didn't have to worry about safety, but they had to go all out with the mobs.

Loki's speed is very fast, if not outstanding, and often a group of mobs have just locked on to his location, and he has already fled elsewhere.

Then the mobs fall into a goalless state again.

I was so struck by his hand that I had to praise him for flying a kite.

If this thing was born on the Azure planet, Cliff is a ranged shooter who can take the word 'obscene' to the extreme.

Look at little Lori Lily again.

This little Lori's courage seems to be extraordinary, but the magic value contained in itself is just so majestic that it is terrifying.

As soon as any mob wants to get closer, closing your eyes is a spell missile.

The little mouth kept screaming, and it hurt my ears.

In the face of a large number of spell missile attacks, those first- and second-level monsters couldn't avoid it, and they were bombarded into pieces all over the ground.

Just imagine, if one day, Lily grows up, waving her hand is an overwhelming high-level magic, don't want to smash her head and face like money, what an exciting disaster scene it will be!

I let out a series of wicked smirks.

Startling Lily, she threw four or five spell missiles at me with her eyes closed, making me disgraced.

The phoenix on the side of the music leaned forward and closed, and the little squeaky claws danced.

When the team descended to the seventh floor, it was time for the phoenix to show its strength.

Loki and Lily worked hard to kill the slinging goblins, and the phoenix often only needed one punch, and they didn't bother to release the qigong bullet.

Punches, kicks, waist twists, flying kicks, elbows and other Sanda moves are about to catch up with the textbooks.

The two strange people on the side applauded again and again.

However, when it comes to the eighth layer, the phoenix does not dare to hold it up anymore, and does not hesitate to use qigong bullets when it is time to do it, and often throws out a qigong bullet to give a fatal blow after punching and kicking.

Bombard the big-toothed rats that are trying to fight back to the slag.

Loki and Lily cheered her on to my left and right, and the pair also knew that the eighth floor was no longer their active stage, and followed closely behind them like ass, for fear that if they fell behind, they would be knocked out by the big-toothed rat who didn't know what was coming out of the horns.

After Phoenix smashed the head of the last elite big-toothed mouse with a qigong bullet, she collapsed to the ground, sweat already soaking through her clothes.

Weak, she slowly raised her hand and made a V at me.

I replied to her with a thumbs up.

Embracing her into his arms, the group walked out of the dungeon, and it was already dark.

When I was eating at the café, although Phoenix was exhausted, she still didn't forget to fight with Barbara, who was sticking to me, and saw my head like a fight.

The next day, it was the same.

And just like that, in a flash, a whole month passed.

Lily and Loki's level climbed to the second level, rushing through most of them,

Loki's basic ability value has not changed much, only the agility has been upgraded by one notch, and it has become E-level.

Lily's talent and magic have become D-rank, especially the mana, which has reached 600 against the sky.

The mana cost of the spell missile is 1, which means that Lily can release 600 spell missiles in a row without any effect on the premise that her talent does not work at all.

And that's without counting her auto-mana recovery speed.

It is conceivable that Lily's future is limitless.

Unlike warriors, mages are born with a magical skill, some of which have additional magical attributes, and some of which have the same attack skills as Lily.

This skill will become more powerful as you level up.

As for how big it will be in the end, it's hard to say, because so far, no full-level adventurers have appeared.

According to records, the founders of the five largest families in the Zephyr Continent have reached an astonishing fifteenth level.

This has also become the biggest legend of the Zephyr Continent.

The story after the legend, no one knows.

Some say that they cleared the dungeon, obtained infinite treasures, and became messengers of the god of creation.

It is also said that they were wiped out by the super bosses in the dungeon and became one of the many dry bones.

How many people will know the truth?

Anyway, I'm not the Grim Reaper schoolboy, so I won't waste too much time thinking about this brain-burning question.

Looking at the phoenix on the side, he was showing an angelic idiot smile, staring at the newly updated ability value in his hand, hehe smirked.
