Chapter 22: Enter? Or not?
It was once said that being bitten by a girl is a happy thing.
Whoever said this, you come out, I promise not to kill you!
There was a raging fire burning in my heart, and I was roaring with rage.
Looking at the two rows of oval-shaped deep tooth marks on the shoulders without tears, and looking at the hard scabs formed by the tooth marks after the bleeding stopped, I said that I would never forget the bite force of the phoenix.
This girl's bite force is definitely the same as that of a brown bear!
The phoenix also seemed to realize that she had bitten too hard, and there was more or less guilt and concern in her eyes, but when she thought of the brain Bener I played before, she immediately became arrogant again.
With a black line on my forehead and the corners of my mouth twitching for a long time, I greeted the duo who were still shivering in the corner.
After this incident, this pair of strange people's attitude towards the phoenix is simply like a slave serving the official, and they are obedient.
Only Xiao Squeak, who followed in obscurity, raised his eyes from time to time and handed me a sympathetic look.
I thought that the only insect who could understand me was a worm, and my heart was bubbling with sadness.
The journey went very smoothly, and there were no waves except for the occasional goblin warrior who jumped out to block the way.
I even wonder if there's been a stronger team passing through here and killing the monsters with muscles in their heads.
Soon, I dismissed that idea.
Goblin warriors do turn into black dust and disappear when they die, but the sticks in their hands do not disappear as a result, and only remain in place as the user disappears until another user appears.
But since the beginning of the fight, I haven't seen more than three sticks on the ground, not even counting the goblin warriors we killed ourselves.
I remember when I first reached level five, there were four or five crazy slaughters on the ninth layer, and each time I would kill no less than forty goblin warriors.
Although the number of monsters produced in a dungeon is not completely fixed, the number of monsters produced each time will not differ by five.
That is, the overall number will hover between thirty-five and forty-five.
If we count it like this, from the time we entered the ninth layer, until now, the number of goblin warriors we have killed is not even ten.
Excluding individual monsters that might be hiding in some dark corner, there should be at least fifteen Goblin Warriors active somewhere.
Seeing that the ninth floor was coming to an end, my heart began to beat a drum.
If all the fifteen goblin warriors were in ambush at the end, even I wouldn't be able to easily eliminate them all.
Squeak is completely fine, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to attack, the monsters in the dungeon won't do anything to it.
Phoenix's words may barely be able to support it for a while.
The most worrying thing is that the one who follows us, this pair of strange people who have no ability to protect themselves.
Once they get into a scuffle, it's hard for me to keep them safe.
Quickly around the last corner, I stopped the phoenix.
Phoenix looked at me puzzled, frowning slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with my approach.
I didn't explain, just shook my head at her.
Leaning against the rock wall, I quietly probed outward.
Behind the corner, it was still empty.
Under the smooth rock wall, the peeling rubble was quietly piled up, and when you looked around, there was not even a living thing except for a few fluorescent grasses that grew in the corners, which emitted a faint glow.
"How is this possible!"
I frowned, unsure of what was going on.
Seeing my expression like this, the phoenix also poked his head out curiously, looked left and right, looked up and down several times, and asked me in confusion with suspicion in his tone: "Xiao Yi, what did you see?" ”
I thought about it for a while, but finally I said, "I see a wall." ”
Bang!
I was knocked to the ground by a phoenix.
Loki and Lori squatted on my left and right, stabbing me lightly with a small wooden stick in their hands, with a look of concern on their faces.
Loki: "Boss, don't die! ”
Lily: "Boss, are you dead?" ”
Me: "... ”
In front of you, there is a portal on the tenth floor.
There is an unwritten rule in the dungeons that every tenth floor will have an exceptionally powerful boss.
The existence of this boss is a very severe test for adventurers who enter the dungeon, and at the same time, it is also a certification of the adventurer's strength.
Adventurers who can't even defeat the boss of the tenth layer can't survive in the harsh environment of the eleventh layer.
Not to mention going deeper.
I once tried to kill the boss on the tenth floor, which was a giant minotaur.
The dark red skin is similar to the color of the muscles, and at first glance, it is very hideous.
It does not use weapons, but relies on a pair of flesh fists to thrash constantly.
Its fists were so hard and powerful that at the time, I, who had just entered the fifth level, was almost killed in an instant after being hit by its full force.
Fortunately, I was seriously injured and dying, and triggered my natural skill, and I just hit its neck with a swing, and with the bonus of the fatal blow, I used all my strength to cut off one of its huge heads.
After the battle, I didn't even pick up the materials and money that exploded on the ground, and I almost crawled back to the adventurer's base, and it took me two days to finally come back to life under the treatment of the priest.
According to the pastor, I was covered in blood and like a demon, with more than 20 fractures on my body, and my internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees.
He thought I had encountered a strange tide, but in fact, I just took a full blow from the ten-story boss.
Moreover, it was only a hit!
When I think about it now, I still feel my heart pounding.
"Xiao Yi, I want to go in and try it."
Phoenix looked at me, very seriously.
I can understand that she has upgraded as I had at the beginning, and is very eager to verify how strong she really is.
"Wait, it's too risky to go in now."
I tried to persuade Phoenix: "When I was at your level, I also entered the tenth layer to test the water, although it is also the fourth level, but compared to the first nine layers, there are more monsters there, and the terrain is more dangerous and steep, and if you are careless, you will be injured and even killed." ”
When the two strange men heard this, they shuddered and retreated, but these were far from enough to shake the determination of the tenth layer of the Phoenix decisive battle.
"It's okay, when you encounter a group of monsters, you can help me solve it, you're very strong."
The phoenix held me high.
I shook my head and said, "It's okay to say that ordinary monsters are in trouble, once they meet the boss." ”
“boss?”
I nodded: "That's right, according to the explanation in the adventurer's handbook, there will be a boss every ten floors, the boss is different from ordinary monsters and elite monsters, it is a very special existence, and it is a powerful enemy that adventurers of the same level cannot fight." ”
"Boss, have you ever fought against the boss on the tenth floor?"
Loki asked me tentatively.
"Yes, I've fought with it," I confessed, "At that time, I had just stepped into the ranks of the fifth level, and because I was too excited, I rashly broke into the boss area of the tenth floor, and as a result... ”
"You lost?"
Lily's wide, watery eyes widened, and she exclaimed.
Loki patted her on the back of the head and reproached, "If the boss loses, can he still stand here and talk to us, how stupid!" ”
"Yes, I did win," I muttered, and then added, "but I was also so badly injured that I almost died there." ”
"And, I've only taken one blow from it."
The two strange people, with frightened expressions, looked at the phoenix with a frightened expression, hoping that she would give up this advance.
Phoenix, sitting on a boulder, her eyes flickering, not knowing how to choose.
