The red earth was barren of grass, and the rocks and soil were as dry as a desert.
The entire space seemed to be dyed by magma, turning into a scorching hell.
The tall sheep-headed monster roared continuously, its scarlet eyes rolling, exuding brutal murderous intent.
"Alas!"
In the back row, a ten-man team carrying many iron packages screamed in terror.
For them, who had never descended to such a deep level, the scene here was almost like hell.
Monsters comparable to the floor masters are everywhere here, which really destroys their outlook on life.
If it weren't for the protection of powerful adventurers on the outside, they might not be able to move a step now.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, one of them let out a terrified cry.
"What are you yelling about?"
The leader among them is a woman with brown skin. She is very tall and strong. Her body is also very curvy.
Hearing the screams of her men, she glared over.
"The defense here is about to be broken!"
To their left, a large number of sheep-headed monsters gathered there, pushing aside the defense line composed of several high-level adventurers, and soon completely tore it apart.
The monsters immediately shouted with joy, then rushed into the formation and prepared to kill.
"No one else moves, Jiang Li, you go deal with the rear guard!"
"learn!"
Like a gust of wind blowing.
Under Finn's steady command, a figure that was too fast to be seen with the naked eye inserted between the two.
"Tsk!"
"Tsk!"
The sword's speed was as fast as a flash of light, leaving bright traces of light in mid-air.
Ais, who was charging forward, looked at the rear with a persistent look.
The three Fermors that broke into the formation were chopped into pieces like butter in the blink of an eye, and the sadistic look remained on their faces until they died.
His speed is so fast that even lv.4 monsters can't react!
"Oh oh oh!"
"So strong!"
"As expected of a famous supernova!"
Seeing that the crisis was over, the ten-person team suddenly burst into cheers.
"We can't lose either!"
Several adventurers responsible for the defense stood up and reorganized the defense line to protect these people.
"If you push harder, you will be able to break through this level in no time!"
Finn's voice came, cheering up everyone who was exhausted physically and mentally.
This is the 49th floor.
There is no doubt that there will be a large number of lv.4 monsters in the deep areas, and the refresh rate is much faster than in the upper levels.
For Jiang Li, this was a familiar scene.
A few months ago, he came here with the expedition as a weak lv.2 person, but at that time he could only stay behind the defense line as a supporter, and could only take action once in a while.
But this time it's different.
As a new cadre of the Loki Familia, he is already the main force in breaking through the 49th floor. Like Ais and others, he can be responsible for the safety of the entire team and has won the trust of everyone.
Looking at the front of the team.
With Aisi as the tip of the knife, the expedition team is slowly but surely moving to the passage on the lower floor.
Dozens of Fermors were surrounding the area, and Tiona, Bert and others were sweeping back and forth.
For him now, one person is enough to wipe out the entire Fermor Group.
But in team battles, obeying orders is the most important, and you must never act without permission.
"The task I have been given is to provide support."
Jiang Li settled in his heart.
His speed is the best among the Loki Familia, and his footwork is faster than Bert's. This is the most suitable position for him after Finn thought about it.
"Jiang Li, right!"
"coming!"
When new orders came, he turned into a firefighter and saved wherever there was a fire.
Ten minutes later, the expedition team successfully broke through the Fermor Group.
…………
After breaking through the 49th floor, the most dangerous deep layer, the expedition team arrived at the fourth safe floor of the dungeon - the 50th floor.
The terrain here is like a tropical rain forest. The forest in the distance is dyed gray by the dust from the volcanic eruption. Rivers like veins can be seen between the towering trees. You can see it from the zenith dozens of meters above the ground.
Stone pillars similar to stalactites are emitting bluish-white phosphorescence.
On the huge rock plate not far from the entrance to the 51st floor, the expedition team of the Loki Familia is stationed here.
Everyone was busy setting up camp at the moment, and the sound of shoes walking could be heard everywhere. The iron stakes driven into the ground were tied with ropes and pulled up, and the canopy was completed.
"Oh, with one more cadre, the feeling is different!"
"Who says it's not the case? This time I entered the 49th floor and it felt much smoother than before!"
While the tents were being set up, the lower-level members of the Loki Familia also gathered together and had a heated discussion.
Each of them looked high-spirited and proud, and some of the fatigue from the hasty march disappeared.
In the past, it would take at least seven days to reach the 50th floor, including departure time.
But today, we reached this realm on the sixth day.
Not only that, everyone who has long been accustomed to the expedition also found that it was easier to break through the floors this time. In the past, it took a lot of effort to break through the 49th floor, but today it was just a sprinkle of water.
This is of course because the Loki Familia has another first-level adventurer and leader!
There were expressions of emotion and admiration on everyone's faces.
Only through actual combat can you discover how encouraging it is to have one more cadre.
A corner of the camp.
Several adventurers from the Loki Familia were forming a group, surrounding several people carrying various rocks on their backs.
Looking closely, it was the team that Jiang Li had protected before.
All of them are new faces.
"This is my first time seeing a blacksmith at work!"
"It seems like a lot of effort!"
Raul, Lefiya and others gathered here, curiously watching the process of sharpening the knife.
There are ten blacksmiths in total, and they are all staring at the weapons in their hands at this moment.
These were specially borrowed by Finn from the Hephaestus Familia. Each of them is a senior adventurer. They are not responsible for fighting themselves, but are only responsible for helping the Loki Familia polish their weapons.
"The last time we encountered the kind of caterpillar that can spray mucus that corrodes weapons, we were so miserable that we didn't even dare to attack with weapons..."
"It will be much better if the blacksmith follows you this time!"
This is exactly what Finn is for.
The biggest characteristic of adventurers is that even if their exploration fails this time, as long as they are more prepared next time, they can overcome the obstacles in front of them. This fully demonstrates the spirit of adventurers who never give up.
"Hey, little girl!"
Suddenly, Lefiya suddenly felt someone holding her shoulders from behind.
Although Lefiya is not a very arrogant elf and does not take the old rule of "you cannot touch your skin unless you are the one you approve of" seriously, she was still startled by this sudden movement.
.
She turned her head with a frightened look and saw a pair of huge fates.
