I like crossing the most

Chapter 240 A Hero Is A Hero
When is it?

I had completely forgotten it, but I was already here when I came back to my senses.

Alone, here.

Father ran to the dungeon for money and died so easily.

To live, just to live.

Struggling to get by every day.

Thin body, heavy backpack, hard floor, cramped space, oppressive environment, hesitant heart and dark future.Even if you work hard, you can't make money, and you can't even fill your stomach.

Because of their weakness, they were beaten and exploited.

Even if he escapes, he will be found.

No matter how you escape, no matter how you hide, you will be found.

The tragic experience accompanied her in her childhood, and she couldn't escape or get rid of it. Those people would only use their strength to make the weak submit.

"That's why Lily hates adventurers."

Looking at Bell's back, she murmured softly, and vowed to take revenge on the adventurers.

------

Dungeon.

Kobayashi and Aisi quickly searched in the corridor. Separately was the fastest way, but because Kobayashi can use the abilities of [Hyperopia] and [Perception], they searched together without wasting more time for Aisi.

"Little Lin, did you see that?"

"No."

Kobayashi simply shook his head.

Based on his understanding of Bell, that idiot must not be satisfied with the first few floors, even if there is admonition from the adventure advisor Aegina.However, since those few adventurers may be secretly framed, the upper layers cannot be ignored.

When the two met adventurers while running, they would also ask him, constantly confirming Bell's location.

On the 8th and 9th floors, the scenery and terrain of the dungeon will change drastically.

First of all, the number of corridors has become larger and wider, and the roads connecting the corridors are very short. At the same time, the ceiling, which was only 3 or 4 meters high at most, has also increased to nearly 10 meters.

And the same goes for the lower floors.

The difference is that layer 10 has fog occlusion.

Not deep, but enough to obstruct the vision of the white fog, covering the entire dungeon.

The structure is the same as the upper floor, except that the light source on the ceiling is no longer as bright as sunlight, and the brightness is just reminiscent of morning mist.

Vision is obstructed and it is fairly easy to get lost.

"We must find him quickly."

"I know."

【Hyperopia】+【Perception】+【Perspective】

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Kobayashi is the strongest radar. If it is not for the fact that the mental power is relatively low and cannot cover the entire floor, otherwise Bell's location can be easily found.

However, he moves very fast, which is not a disadvantage.

"found it!"

Kobayashi greeted and ran towards Bell with Aisi.

What came into view was a frail young human adventurer, who was fighting with several giant monsters holding huge wooden sticks.

That's right, monsters hold weapons.

There is a natural weapon library on the 10th floor, and the monsters on this floor will use local materials to use weapons.And with the blessing of weapons, monsters at this level are particularly difficult to deal with, which also corresponds to the characteristics of strengthening strength every 5 levels.

During the scene, Bell gradually became exhausted.

He was so thin that he couldn't bear to be tortured by several giant demons together, and he urgently needed someone to rescue him.

Kobayashi and Aisi looked at each other.

After making eye contact, they ran in the direction of Bell in unison.

"Flame Lightning!"

Bell suddenly used magic, and a swift red flame-attributed lightning shot out from his palm, killing a troll in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Ace stopped subconsciously.

magic?

And still no chant?
Unbelievable.

When I met him on the 5th floor, he was still a novice, but he has made such great progress in such a short period of time. Are the newcomers now all monsters?
Naturally Dumb Swordsman had already doubted herself.

And Xiao Lin, who saw the complete process of casting the spell, had already learned [Flame and Lightning].

Although it needs to consume more mana, physical strength, and mental power, even with these consumptions, the power is still equivalent to the intermediate magic of "Su Qing", so he has no reason not to learn it.

"Damn! More and more!"

Bell saw the giant monsters constantly surrounding him, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

Chaowu prevented him from seeing the bumps under his feet, and he accidentally guessed that the mushrooms fell on the ground.There was a break in the attack, and the giant demon took the opportunity to surround him.

A wooden stick raised high by a giant demon is about to be smashed down.

It was a powerful blow, and if it was hit, it would definitely not be able to rise again.

Suddenly, its movements froze in mid-air.

"what?"

Bell let out a light snort, and before he could react, another sword glow flashed, and the giant monster in front of him instantly split into two halves.

"This, this is..."

The fog prevented him from seeing people clearly, but he could still hear the sound of wind and footsteps twirling around.

It's two people, and they cooperate very well.

In the blink of an eye, the trolls who surrounded them were completely defeated.

The tacit cooperation between the two is like one heart, and they can step on the beat accurately every time, as if they are dancing an extremely gorgeous pas de deux.

He can't see it, but he can feel it.

Bell murmured subconsciously: "It's amazing..."

not good!

Now is not the time to be obsessed.

Bell, who reacted, did not forget his companions. He shouted to the backs of the two: "I'm sorry, thank you!"

Then he ran towards the upper floor.

This guy……

I can understand that he cares about the safety of his companions, but for the benefactor who saved his life, how about taking a little longer to thank him?
Kobayashi shook his head.

Forget it, anyway, it's compensation on my side.

Aisi looked at Bell's leaving back and murmured, "I haven't been able to apologize..."

"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities."

Xiao Lin couldn't help but patted the lonely girl's shoulder, he couldn't figure out who was chasing whom.

"Xiao Lin, who was it just now?"

"what?"

"Cooperate."

Sword Princess Aisi's short words let Xiao Lin understand what she was talking about.

It's a bit difficult to explain, but if you don't explain, Aisi's curious and eager eyes are a bit overwhelming.

I thought about it.

While organizing his words, Kobayashi looked at Ai Si's expression and said, "Actually, that's a kind of coordination. My eyes can perform pre-reading, and I can counter and resist one step in advance when fighting the enemy, but if I apply the ability to my companions If they are on the body, they can cooperate with each other to exert stronger strength. Of course, this is not limited to one companion, and multiple companions are also possible. Do you understand if you say that.”

"Ah."

"You really understand?"

"Ah."

The naturally dumb girl nodded again.

Although she was a little rude, Xiao Lin thought she would look dull.But when he thought about whether the other party was naturally stupid or not, he knew that he was stupid.

In fact, this trick was inspired by a certain basketball nobleman who possessed the [Eye of the Emperor of Heaven].

It must be admitted that [Eye of the Emperor of Heaven] is as powerful as [Five Visions] in deciphering moves, and can always seize the opportunity to defeat the opponent in battle; but if this power is linked and coordinated, one can observe and Inspire the full capabilities of your companions.

If the family and companions go on an expedition together, the latter is obviously more practical.

"I'm not boasting. It's very difficult to cooperate as well as I do."

"Ah."

Ace admits this.

Even among the Loki family, it is extremely difficult to cooperate with each other in an incomparable tacit understanding, not to mention that they each have distinct characteristics. Once they enter a frenzied battle, they are like wild horses, and sometimes even the leader Finn cannot be pulled back.

The ultimate match?
nonexistent.

But for them, as long as they do their job well, it is the best cooperation.

The mere LV2 giant demons couldn't hinder them at all, no matter how many came, they would be attacked, and soon the surrounding area was covered with bright red to clear a large open space.

"It looks like it's almost there, let's go, go to the upper floor."

"Ah."

Ace nodded.

The two of them ran up quickly again.

----

7th floor.

Rushing up the stairs that seemed to be buried in the wall, Lily didn't slow down and kept running forward.

As long as you cross this floor, it will be much easier.

Thinking of this, the lines of her lips softened.

Although I feel sorry for Lord Bell, I will use the magic sword he left behind with gratitude.

In order to save a large sum of money and leave the family, even falling into the abyss is not hesitating!

Lily hates adventurers and vows revenge!

Pass through the narrow passageway and arrive at the next moment in the grotto.The foot protruding from the side hit the short Lily's knee, causing her to fall forward unconsciously.

"……Eh?"

With a plop, the thin body lay on the ground, and dust poured into the nostrils and mouth.

Lily fell into confusion, trying to get up with her hands on the ground, but a long figure covered her.She was startled, and before she could raise her head, she was grabbed forcefully, followed by a heavy punch in the face.

"Cough cough!"

Subconsciously he groaned in pain.

While the nosebleed was still dripping, she was hit on the face with another brute force fist, and then kicked her on the ground and rolled over.After finally being able to escape, the opponent took the opportunity to kick over again, flew out like a ball, and bounced on the ground once or twice.

With the taste of rust in her mouth, she groaned in pain.

"Uh……"

"I'm so happy, I actually won the big prize. You deserve it, little human. I guessed that you were about to abandon that brat, and I also guessed that as long as you set a trap here, you will be caught, hahaha——"

The man raised an ugly face.

The familiar deep voice made Lily's eyes widen involuntarily.

She knows this man.

The human adventurer, the man who came into contact with Bell yesterday, is also her former employer.

"Luo...net..."

"In this big and outrageous maze, ambushing you by yourself is simply a dream, so I summoned people to hold hands in every important place."

The dungeon is huge.

From the 5th floor down, it is already bigger than the central square.

But there are only 3 or 4 main routes to the lower level, and the man distributes his helpers along each route to wait for Lily to be caught.Among these routes, Lily chose the route of the man himself.

Sign up!

The man with an ugly face grabbed Lily's collar and said viciously: "That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore. You stole my sword before killing you, but you have to pay me well...!"

He tore off Lily's long coat.

Potions, gold coins, crossbows, pocket watches, and daggers were all taken away by the opponent.A weak supporter cannot stand against a strong adventurer at all.

Everything has been taken away, but the violence has not stopped.

Just when she was having trouble breathing, was unconscious, and was about to faint——

"It's really ruthless, boss."

A third voice cuts in.

"Oh, you're here so fast." The man greeted him with an evil smile that never stopped.

Miserably, it's an accomplice.

When she saw through the dim light of the magic stone that the person who came was a member of the [Suma Family] who kept bullying her, Lily smiled bleakly and felt ashamed.

How funny.

Members of the same family actually help outsiders.

Now Lily has no hope at all, and her desire to live has also been extinguished by the next actions of the members of the same family.

"Boss, can I trouble you to keep what you robbed?"

"……what?!"

The evil man's smile froze immediately, and before he could ask any questions, the members of the Sumo family threw out the bag behind his back, and the object rolled on the ground with a bang made Lili feel cold.

"Killer ants...!"

It was a killer ant that had been cut in half but was still alive.

It is clearly stated in the Dungeon Rules that even a novice adventurer can easily kill a single killer ant, but it will emit special pheromones when it is in a dying state, which is a special signal that can call for help to its companions.

Ants that are still breathing are equivalent to a time bomb that summons an army of ants!

"You, you, are you crazy!!!"

The evil man couldn't hold back at all.

The screams continued to echo in the small space, but the expressions of the members of the Sumo family were still indifferent, even though ants continued to come out of the corridor, which was about to completely fill up the place.

Ironic.

All the monsters knew to come to rescue their companions when they were dying, but the Sumo family members were the chief culprits who put their companions in danger.

The army of ants surrounded Lily.

"No, save her!"

"and many more."

The sword girl Ai Si drew her sword and wanted to charge forward, but Xiao Lin grabbed her wrist.

As I said just now, there are several routes leading to the lower floor. Kobayashi and Aisi quickly caught up, but they seemed to be staggered with the counselor Bell.At the same time, he did not expect that the rabbit, which has always been specialized in escape (agility), would be so much slower than them.

As a result, Xiao Lin and Ai Si watched the whole process, but Bell still didn't arrive.

but……

Ais wondered, "Why don't you let me help?"

"Because the hero has appeared." Xiao Lin motioned her to look down.

In the passage below, a thin white figure gradually appeared.

From the 10th floor to the 7th floor, but the distance of 3 floors is really slow, Bell.

"Lily—"

The voice calling for the girl tore apart the army of ants, and at the same time gave the girl hope of survival.

Explosion flames produced explosion flames. A series of serial explosions made the ants panic and wanted to change directions, but they were blocked by their companions.

Like a hero, the white-haired boy with a short sword repelled the ant group forcefully and came to the immobile girl.

"Lily! Are you okay, answer me!"

"Bell... my lord?"

"Yes, are you okay!"

"why why……"

His chest was sore and swollen, and an inexplicable emotion burst out in his chest, the warmth soaked his eye sockets, and his slender arms hugged his body tightly.

The girl didn't understand at all.

"Wait for me, it will be over soon."

Bell drank the potion, roared and charged into the army of ants.

To be honest, this is a completely reckless approach, but in order to keep him handsome until the end, Kobayashi used silk thread to secretly do a lot of effort.

The white figure in the group of monsters keeps shining, sharp, powerful and courageous.

The girl kept her eyes on her for a moment.

The expected hero finally rescued the girl, and the encounter the hero was looking forward to went smoothly.

Once upon a time, the army of ants no longer existed, and the young man was left standing alone in the cave.

Instead of the warmth after reunion, there are doubts and quarrels.

But soon, the kind Bell melted Lily's cold heart.

The two who expressed their intentions left together, leaving silently a heroic record that only a few people knew.

Xiao Lin was silent, and said softly: "A poor person must have something to hate, and a hateful person must have pitiful suffering."

"...What?" Ai Si was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her doubts, she explained: "It means that a person's dissatisfaction must be caused by previous mistakes or self-inflicted blame. Knowing that he has made a mistake, he refuses to correct it repeatedly and takes the blame for himself. This is the hateful thing about this kind of person; It’s definitely hateful, but looking back, there must be some reasons why he had to do it, this is the deplorable suffering of a hateful person.”

"Well……"

The innocent princess wrinkled her face.

She knows a little bit about combat, but if it's about philosophy, she's a complete Muggle.

"You don't have to think so much, just follow your own heart."

"Originally...?"

"That's right, my heart. But this is the difference between me and him. Frank, kind, brave, repaying evil with kindness, is incompatible with this world. He is the real hero."

Kobayashi tapped her forehead lightly.

Ai Si reached out and touched her forehead, puzzled, "But a hero is a hero."

"what?"

"Even if the reputation is not obvious, people still expect, be blessed, and be admired. Although the way and the meaning of existence are different, isn't this a hero?"

"........."

He was speechless.

That's right!

Although the way and the meaning of existence are different, a hero is a hero!

Kobayashi immediately felt refreshed.

In terms of comparing the artistic conception, it means enlightenment, transparency, stepping out of barriers, and the whole person is sublimated.

...is impossible.

At most, it is to confirm what you think in your heart and become more determined on the way forward.

"But I didn't expect that Miss Ai Si would say such philosophical words, it was really an eye-opener."

"Uh...huh!"

Kobayashi's teasing made Aisi puff her mouth, and turned her head away from him pretending to be angry.

It is really rare to see such an expression on the face of Jian Ji who rarely shows emotion.

...and a little cute.
