Chapter 56

For the rest of the journey, Li Ge and his party followed the policy of avoiding battles as much as possible.

Their goal is only the spring water from Cadmus' spring, and they have to fight the Lv.6 strong dragon. At this time, they can save a little energy, so that they can concentrate all their strength on dealing with the strong dragon.

Even Refiya was instructed by Li Ge not to use magic until the critical moment, so as not to waste mental power.

Although Refiya still has a lot of mental power recovery potions on her body, considering that she will have to go to the 59th floor later, and she will have to go through many battles on the way, it is best to save the waste of materials as much as possible.

This is also the policy advocated by Finn. After two weeks of expedition, there are very few supplies left for the family members. In order not to run out of supplies on the return journey, avoiding the consumption of props and medicines has become the top priority.

Under such circumstances, even Ais was obedient and rushed out without seeing the monster. Diona also put away her big double blades and obediently followed behind. Needless to say, Dione, in order to fulfill Finn's instructions , whoever causes unnecessary waste first, she will be in a hurry with whoever first.

Of all the people, only Li Ge was more unscrupulous. Although he didn't mess around too much and rushed out when he saw monsters, he still maintained the effect of [La Muller] and blessed everyone with protective magic.

"You're wasting energy like this."

Tione had accused Rieger of his extravagant behavior.

However, Li Ge's light words blocked Tione's dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, I have the ability of "Jing Healing". "

The indifferent words made Tione stop talking for a moment.

"abnormal."

Diona slandered Li Ge in frustration.

Aisi and Refia felt mixed feelings.

The highest level of "fine healing" ability, this kind of unprecedented development ability, the mental power restored every second is probably massive, right?

With this level of development ability, even if Li Ge has been using magic, he probably won't be exhausted.

This makes the female swordsman who often uses a lot of magic and the guard mage who uses magic as the main method of fighting not feel mixed feelings?

The two had only one thought.

"I really want it."

Unfortunately, this is a luxury.

In this way, the group only experienced a few unavoidable battles, other than that it has been going smoothly.

Because of the map, even if the terrain and road conditions are poor, the roads are intricate and completely maze, but everyone is still moving towards the destination.

Walking like this, everyone suddenly felt that there seemed to be fewer monsters.

"Why do you feel that there are fewer monsters?"

Tiona was the first to express doubts about this.

"Is it because we deviated from the main line?"

Refiya compared the map, and also expressed her doubts.

The location of the Cadmus Fountain is in the depths of the 51st floor, which is just off the regular route to the 52nd floor.

What Refiya meant was that there were so few monsters in this area because of the deviation from the normal route.

"But the last time I went to find the spring of Cadmus, there seemed to be quite a few monsters in this area."

Tiona's doubtful words again made Tione frown.

Ace also lowered her eyes.

Li Ge looked thoughtful, but his heart throbbed uncontrollably.

"I always feel that this situation seems to have been mentioned in the original book?"

As soon as he had this idea, Rieger's excellent memory played an important role.

He carefully recalled the plot of the original book, and finally a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that one?"

Li Ge couldn't help murmuring.

"What?"

Including Ai Si, all the girls heard Li Ge's whisper, and were stunned there.

At this time, Li Ge suddenly turned to Refia.

"Refia, how far is it from the spring here?"

Li Ge's sudden inquiry made Refiya feel at a loss for a while.

"It's just, it's the grotto at the end of this road, it shouldn't be far away."

Although a little at a loss, Refiya still answered Li Ge's question.

But almost at the moment Refiya's words fell, Li Ge rushed out.

"Mr. Rieger!?"

Refia exclaimed.

"Rig!"

The two sisters Diona and Dione were also stunned.

Only Ai Si, seeing Li Ge rushing out, her eyes narrowed, turned into a gust of wind without hesitation, and followed.

"etc!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Miss Ace!"

Tiona, Tione, and Refia finally couldn't stand up anymore, they hurriedly ran and rushed forward.

At this time, Li Ge had already rushed into the cave at the end of the road.

As soon as he entered the grotto, Li Ge stopped immediately.

"Rig."

Ais followed closely behind, stood beside Li Ge, and then opened her eyes wide.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"What are you running for?"

"Hoo, hoo"

Tiona, Tione, and Refia all arrived, some complained, some panted.

But in the next second, the scene imprinted in everyone's eyes made everyone's eyes widen just like Aisi.

I saw that the grotto in front of me was ravaged by inhumanity for some reason.

Be it the walls, the ground, even the ceiling, everything seems to have been damaged, either full of cracks, or simply shattered, in a mess.

Many of the trees that grew here were either broken off or crushed.

That's nothing.

What really surprised everyone was that there were traces of dissolution everywhere, turning some parts of the trees into deep purple, emitting black smoke and emitting an indescribable stench.

"How is this going?"

"How did it become like this here?"

Tiona and Tione looked at each other.

"."

Ace's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Ah, spring water."

Although Refiya took a step back unconsciously, she glimpsed a corner of the grotto from the corner of her eye.

There, a pool of spring water is located, exuding a mysterious dark blue light, which is extremely dazzling.

That is the spring of Cadmus, and there seems to be a lot of spring water in it, and it seems that it has not been swallowed by the strong dragon guarding here.

"No, where is Qianglong?"

Tione immediately sensed the unnaturalness.

That's right, the Qianglong who was supposed to be here was not there.

Or rather, it no longer exists.

Everyone involuntarily shifted their eyes to the front of Cadmus' spring.

At that position, a large amount of dust was accumulating.

"...Isn't that the corpse of a strong dragon?"

Tiona's unintentional whisper made everyone fall silent.

Everyone stared at it, which turned into a large amount of dust, obviously the remains of a monster that exploded into ashes after losing the magic stone (core), and remained silent for a long time.

Needless to say, the monster guarding here is dead.

The question is, who killed the dragon monster classified as Lv.6?

"It can't be done by an adventurer, right?" Tione whispered, "We seem to be the only ones who are going on an expedition during this period."

There are not many family members in Orari who are capable of expeditions to this floor, and there are only a few of them.

As far as Tione knew, none of those family members had entered the dungeon expedition recently.

Therefore, it is unlikely that this was done by other family members who came to the expedition.

That is to say——

"Monster cannibalism?"

Teona muttered to herself.

There was a chill in everyone's heart.

Because, they knew very well that if the monsters were killing each other, then things would be troublesome.

Monsters generally do not attack other monsters.

Monsters will attack other monsters, generally speaking, there are only two possibilities.

The first is a sudden accident.

Some monsters are victimized by some kind of accident and become irrational, so it is possible to make them fight each other regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, until one side is completely down.

The second is an abnormal situation.

In the dungeon, some monsters will increase their strength by ingesting the magic stones of other monsters, and then frantically devour the core of their compatriots to make themselves stronger.

This type of monster is usually called the enhanced species. Due to the relationship between devouring the magic stones of other monsters, its own power has been greatly improved, far exceeding the original classification level.

This kind of monster is rarer than the rare species, and it can become stronger as it eats magic stones, and it may even become a greater threat than the floor master in the end.

Therefore, such monsters are extremely harmful. They may attack adventurers for magic stones, cross floors, and constantly create disasters. Once discovered, the guild will immediately offer rewards for them, and even send adventurers to crusade.

Now, here comes the problem.

What kind of situation does it belong to?

"Have you seen the magic stone? Ais?"

Tione asked while controlling her emotions.

"No."

Ace responded succinctly.

"There are dropped props!"

Refia had sharp eyes, saw a pair of wings falling in the dust, and picked them up.

"There is no magic stone but there are dropped items?" Diona pressed her eyebrows and said, "I have a bad feeling."

"An enhanced species that can swallow a strong dragon?" Tione's face twisted slightly, and said: "This joke is not funny at all."

Hearing this, Li Ge, who had been staring at the entire grotto, turned around and left before others had time to react.

"Rig!"

"what happened again!?"

Everyone turned around like a frightened bird.

"Back to camp."

Li Ge only had one sentence.

If his memory is correct, and this expedition is the one in the original book where the Loki family encountered those things for the first time, then the camp is probably going to be in trouble.

"Really."

Rieger sighed.

"Is my first expedition the one that encountered those things?"

This luck, I really don't know whether to say it is good or bad.

"Walk!"

Li Ge took a step forward, his speed suddenly increased, and he rushed towards the 50th floor.

All the girls looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all followed Li Ge.

A group of people rushed directly out of the path, rushed into the main route on the 51st floor, and entered the spacious terrain.

at this time--

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The shrill screams resounded.
