They had no idea what the conversation was about and thought they had joined the wrong group.
The three families entered through the entrance, and even a group of nearly a hundred people would take several minutes to pass through.
The total area of the 17th floor is not significantly smaller than that of the 16th and 18th floors.
Because this is the floor where the floor owner resides, it's essentially a large Boss room.
Naturally, not much space was created; it was enough to allow the Boss to move around freely.
After leaving the passage, Shiraishikawa was greeted by towering crystal walls all around him.
It felt as if the approaching figures could be crushed beneath them at any moment, inspiring a sense of fear.
These walls emitted a silvery-white fluorescence, making them difficult to damage even with ordinary weapons.
After passing through several more tunnels, we were getting closer and closer to the area where the Boss was located.
"The floor master here is Goliath, which is equivalent to a Lv4 adventurer."
"But as you all know, this doesn't mean that the opponent's combat strength is really stable at Lv4!"
Although it is Lv4, Goliath is a giant monster and has racial bonuses.
Furthermore, one cannot infer the vital points of monsters based on the vital points of normal living beings; the heart and brain are unlikely to be fatal.
Finally, it should be noted that the strength of the monsters in the dungeon has been significantly increased.
Even the two captains, Otto and Finn, couldn't say for sure how much Goliath would be strengthened.
But as they slowly made their way toward the Boss's room, they felt increasingly uneasy.
Because it was extremely quiet inside.
Even if the other person is sleeping, there should still be some snoring noise.
But it was eerily quiet.
Magic Unleashed!
Shiraishi's externalized magic can not only enhance his own body and weapons, but also be used for detection.
Simply release magic into the surrounding space and then connect it into a feedback magic circuit.
At least in the dungeon, Shiraishikawa will still choose to use the authority and power of the god of pleasure as little as possible.
"It's completely empty inside!"
Shiraishikawa murmured.
This caused both Otto and Finn's expressions to change slightly.
Because this is completely different from what was predicted.
The clan that completed the defeat of Goliath, the main boss of the previous floor, reported the date.
According to the dungeon's cycle, Goliath should have been resurrected several days ago.
The three clans rushed into the Boss room, and sure enough, there was no sign of the giant in this space composed of huge crystals and rocks.
Either the previous raiding team got the timing wrong, or there's a problem with the dungeon itself.
Although everyone is willing to believe it is the former, the latter possibility is undoubtedly the most likely one based on the course of events.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Look, Goliath is still inside the crystal!"
Everyone immediately looked up in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, a giant, barely visible, was revealed hidden within the translucent crystal wall.
The other person had their eyes closed, clearly not yet awake.
This is how dungeons breed monsters.
"Oh, it was just a false alarm!"
"Since there's nothing else we can do, let's all go to the 18th floor to rest."
The boss battle wasn't triggered until the last person left.
But just as silence returned, Goliath suddenly opened his eyes!
The 18th floor is a safe floor.
It is also the safest floor closest to the ground.
Therefore, it plays a very important role in the transportation and transfer of materials, and also allows adventurers to catch their breath.
"It's so bright here. Aren't they saying that sunlight can't get in?"
“Look up, that’s not the sun.”
Right at the top of the building, a shimmering crystal mine emitted warm-toned light.
It emits light but not heat; the pleasant temperature comes from the dungeon itself.
Chapter 187: The Flowing Stream Makes an Impact! A New Vision for the World of Yao Guang
If you ignore the rock walls of the surrounding underground city, this place really does look like an ordinary surface area.
Looking out over Shiraishikawa, man-made buildings peek out from the edge of the lush forest.
That was undoubtedly the town that adventurers had built for transit and rest.
The town is located on a wide open plain.
Other areas either have rivers or large tidal flats.
Either there are mountains, with varying elevations, making travel inconvenient.
It's really not easy to determine where the group will live.
The arrival of the three major clans enlivened the entire town.
None of the adventurers who can stay here for an extended period of time are simple individuals.
But this was the first time they had ever seen so many high-level adventurers come as a group to conquer the dungeon.
Their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at the three major clans.
The Hestia Familia, in particular, with its many beautiful girls, has attracted a great deal of attention.
The Freya Familia and the Loki Familia also have their own strongholds here.
Shiraishikawa did not accept the invitations from the two families.
They simply found an open space and settled down temporarily, carrying with them the joy of divine choice.
As the Hestia Familia expands, this place will become the prototype of its future base.
Although it's called a small town, the most common buildings are actually tents of all shapes and sizes.
Only the outer city walls are permanent structures built of earth, stone, or wood.
However, even though it's called a safe floor, having such conditions on the 18th floor is already quite good.
Although smaller than Orari, it has all the essential features.
Here you'll find all sorts of monster material merchants, weapon shops, and even daily necessities stores.
It's hard to say how enjoyable it was, but it basically met the needs of adventurers.
Gradually, the brightness of the crystal mine in the sky began to dim.
"It's already sunset on Earth."
"But we don't know how this crystal mine, buried deep underground, can detect and synchronize with external time to change the light and dark."
"It will be bright again around six o'clock tomorrow morning."
This could also be considered a kind of nightfall.
Although there were no stars, the fluorescent light was as soft as moonlight.
It quietly spills over this floor area.
Wow!
In a small river in the suburbs.
The babbling of the stream was interspersed with the silvery sounds of playful laughter.
After a day of exploring the dungeons, the Chosen Ones are taking a bath.
Whether it's washing away sweat and dust or refreshing your mind, it's a good choice.
No one wants to appear unkempt in front of someone of the opposite sex they care about.
A dozen or so beautiful women drifted past Shiraishi River.
The cool stream was stirred up, creating ripples.
The fluorescent light in the sky shattered into countless tiny specks, spreading out across the sky.
However, even such a beautiful scene pales in comparison to the lovely girl.
Lydia's long, silvery-white hair spread out, adding to her charm.
This contrasts strikingly with Stella's fiery red hair.
Saeko Busujima, Rika Minami, Rei Miyamoto, and others won entirely with their powerful and explosive performances.
Shiraishikawa quietly admired the beauty of each girl, each with her own unique charm.
Although I don't know where the wind came from in the dungeon, there was a gentle breeze blowing by.
At this moment, it was the bath towel that was blown about that made the chosen one even more excited.
"It's a little cold..."
"You won't feel cold once you start exercising."
That's right, after the nice bath comes the much-anticipated impact phase.
Since no winner was decided in the boss battle, this time it was still a gauntlet battle.
