[Hall of Power] First floor.
A sturdy woman with short brown hair, eight-pack abs, and a group of equally muscular men walked into the Hall of Strength.
[Hall of Power] has been refreshed for some time.
It would be fine if you just refreshed the monsters in a certain level or location, but refreshing the entire maze from the beginning is a bit annoying.
After becoming an S-level adventure group, most people no longer have to worry about their livelihood and can pursue more advanced things, such as power and fame.
If you want to improve your position and influence in the [Top Adventurer], in addition to winning the confrontation, you should conquer as many underground mazes as possible to obtain more and rarer treasures.
Use those treasures to trade with other S-level adventure groups, each taking what they need, and further improving themselves, so that they can conquer stronger mazes and gradually form a virtuous circle.
Otherwise, with S-level strength, as long as you regularly clear a few small and medium-sized mazes, you can live a comfortable life.
In fact, there are some S-level adventure groups that do that. They don't care about their rankings at all, and they have no enthusiasm for conquering large mazes. They just want to live their ordinary lives.
They only need to complete the tasks assigned by the dragon regularly to ensure that their S-level status does not drop.
The adventure group [Wild Fighters] is definitely not the kind of S-level adventure group that is willing to sink.
It should be said that after becoming an S-level adventure group, only a few adventure groups are willing to sink.
The world is big.
Many people simply can't stand the wandering life of adventurers.
After some adventure groups become S-rank, they often look down on those adventurers in secret and try to trip them up.
After finally reaching a certain height, I suddenly found someone looking down at me from a higher place.
It is easy to arouse the inner competitive spirit and constantly force yourself to climb upwards.
Even the high-ranking [Power of the Dragon God] is always worried that he will be overshadowed by the second one, or face other threats, so he constantly challenges himself and searches for more difficult underground mazes.
[Wild Fighters] have officially become an S-level adventure group, but it has only been a few years and seems very young.
It would be a great honor for them to conquer a large underground maze, especially an extremely large one like this, if they could succeed.
The equipment worn by [Wild Fighter] is not bad.
The equipment of other S-level adventure groups should be similar to theirs, so they naturally look down on the "scrap metal" that dropped in the first few levels of the [Hall of Power].
Therefore, after failing to conquer the ninth floor, they did not go up to kill all the monsters, but left some for other adventurers.
Let adventurers clear out the monsters blocking the road to avoid wasting unnecessary energy.
Unfortunately, [Bai Huafen] seemed to have gotten enough of what he wanted, and did not come back after the refresh this time. He must have wanted to take a good rest for a while.
In the end, you still have to do it yourself and clear out the monsters on the seventh and eighth levels before you can conquer the ninth level.
But when the [Wild Fighters] went down to the seventh and eighth floors, they found that someone had got there first.
The entrance to the ninth floor no longer existed and turned into a black wall. No matter how hard they knocked, the wall did not respond at all.
"Bai Jin, if necessary, you can use the Fairy's Philosopher's Stone this time. I have taught you the key points of judging the situation many times."
After confirming the plan again, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin and Iyas to sit on the back of Lothkar and began to act according to the plan.
Bai Jin raised her magic wand, and Ias picked up the bow and arrow, aiming at different mud giants and attacking them.
The two men's attacks were almost simultaneous, bombarding giants in different groups.
The two giants' movements became slow at the same time, and they were attacked by the mud giant opponent opposite them, which reduced their HP a lot.
This time, the two groups of four giants did not return to their original positions to continue fighting, but... With red light spurting out of their eyes, they turned their heads and looked at Yang Yu.
Somehow, the other giants who were not attacked all suddenly stopped their movements, and their eyes also emitted dazzling red light, and they all looked at Yang Yu.
Their movements were no longer slow, and the clumsy clay figures transformed into furious martial artists.
The group of giants closest to Yang Yu launched the first attack, and their sticks were burning as if they were ignited.
"Lotkar, this is the skill [Flame Hammer]. Judging from their height and size, the affected area is about 5 meters."
Two burning sticks rushed towards Lothkar from the left and right.
Seeing the direction from which the sticks were coming, Yang Yu said, "Take a few steps forward and stand still."
Lotkar followed Yang Yu's command, took a few steps forward, and then stood still.
As the hot stick passed by him, Lothkar did not seem to be flustered at all. Iyas and Bai Jin on his back attacked two different giants on the left and right respectively.
The giants held sticks and attacked Lotkar from the left and right. Lotkar turned around and kept circling under the feet of the two giants, allowing Bai Jin and Iyas to attack the mud giant frantically.
Yang Yu monitored the status of the four giants at all times, while also paying attention to the movements of other giants.
The giants besieged by Bai Jin and his group had their health reduced to less than one-sixth, but they did not show the [Defending] status.
This means that Bai Jin and Iyas can continue attacking without waiting.
It seems that once the encirclement and suppression mechanism has been triggered, they can attack at will.
Just like the invulnerable sculptures in some games, you can only defeat them after they turn into demons.
The giant in the distance charged towards Yang Yu and his men without launching any long-range attacks.
Is it because they can't attack from a distance? Or is it because they are right under the feet of the giant
Yang Yu still needs to continue testing before he can draw a conclusion.
What needs to be done now is to attract the hatred of this group of giants, gradually gather them together, and then let Bai Jin use area magic to sweep them away.
Under Yang Yu's command, Lothkar left the giant and ran towards another group of giants that were approaching them rapidly.
The two giants who had just failed to attack Lotkar did not give up. They swung their sticks and chased after Lotkar to attack him.
It seemed that there was no way to be attacked from both sides, but with the bonus of Yang Yu's title, Lotkar's body was extremely agile.
By jumping to the right, Lotkar easily dodged a wooden stick that was hitting him from above.
