Chapter 103: The Thirteenth Floor
The moment the fingers touched the gauntlet, a cold sensation came.
When I picked it up, I found that it seemed to be a little heavier than before.
"It looks like it's been a long time, and I feel like it's a lot heavier than before."
I sighed.
"Of course, it's heavy," said the old goblin Patch with a grin, "and I added some steel to it." ”
"You won't take money, will you?" I clutched my pockets in horror.
"No, I'll help you join for free," Patch saluted me and said solemnly, "I have to thank you for lending my niece the gauntlet." ”
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how is your niece's record?"
"Fourth place!"
Patch puffed out his chest and said proudly, "She's my best niece!" ”
Putting on the handguards and clenching the fist a few times, there was a slight friction sound at the joints, which was very comfortable, very smooth, and without any blockage.
Swing your arms up and down and try to do a few chopping movements, the movements are like flowing water, and the wrist joints are well handled.
"Very fitted," I praised, "worthy of being an expert." ”
"By the way," Patch said, fiddling with a slightly biased wig, "Do you have a guild?" ”
"Guild .. Not yet. ”
"Do you want to join my niece's guild," Patch said, "I heard that we are hiring, and although I don't know your strength, it looks pretty good, and maybe it will be very popular." ”
"Forget it" I spread my hand and shook my head: "I'm quite comfortable fighting monsters alone, but I'm not so comfortable when there are more people." ”
"Yes," Patch said with a little regret, "There are many people, and sometimes, one person may be better." ”
"That's it," I waved my hand and said, "I'll go first, if I have anything about weapons and equipment in the future, I may have to trouble you, don't forget to give me a discount when the time comes." ”
Patch sighed: "Let's go, let's go, don't think about discounts, but I won't let you down." ”
As soon as she got out of the gate, a dwarf girl came out of the inner room.
"He refused," said Patch, "except that he was poor and stingy, but I still admired that kid."
"It's okay, uncle," the dwarven girl smiled nonchalantly, "Interesting adventurers always have their own unique habits. ”
Wearing an enchanted gauntlet, wearing a chest guard made of ghost-faced spider skin, and holding two long and short swords, although it looks inferior to the full body armor, the sword is across the waist, and the big axe is on the back, like a war machine-like adventurer's majesty, but it is also much stronger than the previous poor acid equipment.
Probably because of the Japanese Wind Tournament, the dungeon has become more deserted these days, and it is often impossible to see an adventurer after walking all day.
After killing the Stoneshell Monster on the twelfth floor, I decided to go down to the thirteenth floor.
Although there is only one layer of difference, the scene inside is completely different.
The thirteenth floor is a relatively narrow and dim realm, like a glimmering cave, in which all kinds of craggy strange rocks stand in it, and the different passages are interlocking, and the wind gusts and the cool air makes people feel uneasy in their hearts.
I was amazed that the god of creation who created this dungeon was able to create the dungeon, this magical and mysterious place.
Although each floor is separated by a thin portal, the scene inside is distinctive, even very different.
From the first to the third floor, it is as if walking through an artificial tunnel, straight and bright, and any monster and any trap are clear at a glance.
From the fourth level, unfathomable cliffs appeared, the path became more and more tortuous, and the light above the head became darker and darker.
This situation extends all the way to the tenth floor, and the boss room on the tenth floor is like a separate space, spacious and bright, with slightly delicate murals carved into it.
On the eleventh floor, the dark and tortuous environment has been restored again, various karst caves and tunnels are intertwined, and rock convex walls are not uncommon, but the previous dangerous terrain is missing, and there are no cliffs and deep valleys.
The twelfth layer is a vast Gobi, except for a few weeds with extremely vigorous vitality, there are no plants, the edge of the Gobi, there is a bottomless abyss again, and the abyss is all over every edge, it seems that the entire twelfth layer is a suspended boulder, independent of this place out of thin air.
The thirteenth floor in front of me changed the scene again, and it seemed to be back to the appearance of the eleventh floor.
"To be able to create such an illusory space, the God of Creation is also hard enough."
I muttered and pulled out my sword to prepare for the unexpected.
In the darker cave, from time to time, a cool breeze would blow into my skin and prick my heart.
I always think back to the horror movies I watched in my previous life.
I don't know where there will be a lurking monster, quietly stretching out its claws, aiming at my fatal position.
Thinking of this, I was even more excited.
"Phew!" I spat and said secretly, "It's not good to always scare yourself." ”
As he was moving inside, he heard a soft sound on the ridge, which was small but very urgent, as if a bird was flapping its wings at a high frequency.
Immediately after, I felt a gust of wind blowing in the back of my head.
I subconsciously leaned over quickly, avoiding the incoming wind, and looked behind me with my peripheral vision.
With a whoosh, a black shadow flashed.
"Something!"
I was horrified in my heart, and subconsciously waved the knife in my hand, but I took a step too late, and the black shadow had already swooped into the darkness of the cave, and there was no trace of it.
Holding the sword, I slowly got up, and this time, instead of standing up straight, I hunched my waist slightly.
I'm not sure when that thing will show up, and the best thing to do right now is not to act rashly.
The information recorded in the adventurer's manual was recalled in my head.
The Adventurer's Handbook, said to have been written by a powerful adventurer, records information about all monsters from the first floor to the nineteenth floor, and although it is of little use to the top adventurers, it is very beneficial for me who has just stepped into the thirteenth floor.
As the saying goes, knowing each other and knowing oneself, invincible in a hundred battles, after understanding part of the information of the monster, you can make some countermeasures, which is much better than catching the blind in the dark.
I vaguely remember that the monsters on the thirteenth floor introduced in the manual should belong to the flying category, and I can't remember the others anymore.
I frowned in anguish, leaned against the wall, and continued into the depths of the cavern, but slowly, nervously.
However, nervous and cautious, I forgot the taboo of the dungeon that I had always been aware of, that is, walking close to the wall is more dangerous than crawling in the middle of the road, because no one will know which of the bumps and bumps on the wall is a rock and which is a monster.
