Dungeon, Floor 5.

It was already around 3 or 4 PM.

After clearing out some monsters on this floor, Lu Yuan planned to return to the surface with Bell and Ryu Lion.

"Brother Yuan, is it really okay for me to just pick up magic stones and materials from behind?"

Bell looked at a goblin clown falling at Lu Yuan's feet, feeling embarrassed.

From the fourth floor onwards, Lu Yuan stopped letting him participate in battles, instead having him pick up the magic stones and monster materials that fell on the ground.

In Lu Yuan's words:

He would eventually turn into something else tomorrow anyway.

Since that was the case, he might as well use his abilities today to help the Hestia Familia earn a little bit more.

Regarding this, Ryu Lion surprisingly didn't object, instead allowing Lu Yuan to use his abilities to grind monsters in the dungeon today.

"Didn't I say? I'm just contributing a little bit today. I'll still be relying on you in the future, Bell."

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly.

He had already decided that unless he turned into a powerful creature, he would never set foot in the dungeon again.

Today, he would treat it as paying his retirement pension in advance.

"Yes! Brother Yuan, I will definitely not let you and Lady Hestia's expectations down!" Bell's firm voice rang out.

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

However,

Just as Lu Yuan and Bell were busy with their own tasks,

Several explosive roars suddenly came from various cave entrances not far away.

Accompanied by crisp footsteps,

Under Lu Yuan and Bell's surprised gazes,

Three Minotaurs, resembling humans with developed muscles, rushed out of a cave ten meters away, charging towards Lu Yuan and Bell at high speed.

Minotaurs!

Monsters from the 15th to 17th floors!

Rank LV.2!

As intermediate monsters of LV.2 rank, they possess extremely strong defensive power. Even adventurers of the same rank find it difficult to break through their thick muscles!

Generally, killing a Minotaur requires the cooperation of several LV.2 adventurers.

The three Minotaurs that suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuan and Bell were simply not something the two of them could deal with.

As Vegetable Chicken Lamp God, Lu Yuan's basic attributes were not much different from ordinary people, except for being immune to injuries and other negative statuses.

Relying on his immortality and invulnerability, he could fight LV.1 monsters, but only ordinary ones.

He had no way to deal with powerful Level 1 monsters known as newbie killers, such as the War Shadows on the sixth floor and the Killer Ants on the seventh floor.

With just the strength of an ordinary person, he couldn't break the defenses of those monsters or keep up with their speed!

Once in battle, he could only become a punching bag for the monsters.

He couldn't even defeat LV.1 elite monsters, let alone the LV.2 Minotaurs, and there were three of them.

Fortunately...

"Sister Ryu! Help!!!" A shrill cry suddenly came from Lu Yuan's mouth, spreading further and further through the cave entrances.

This emotional cry made it sound like Lu Yuan was about to kick the bucket.

In reality,

The three Minotaurs were still some distance away from Lu Yuan and Bell...

"Die!"

A green figure suddenly darted out from behind Lu Yuan and Bell, quickly arriving in front of the three Minotaurs at high speed.

Chuckle! Chuckle! Chuckle!

Three flashes of sword light disappeared in an instant.

Broken heads tumbled in the air.

The spilled blood poured out like water from an opened floodgate, drenching the ground.

Clang!

As the slender katana returned to Ryu Lion's scabbard, the three Minotaurs, their heads cut off, simultaneously exploded.

Specks of starlight enveloped the smoke.

Three purple magic stones, each two fingers wide, fell to the ground at the same time.

"Strange? Why would monsters from the middle levels appear here? Could it be that something unusual is happening in the middle levels?"

Bending down to pick up a magic stone from the ground and examining it carefully in her hand, Ryu Lion's expression was grave.

In the dungeon, anomalies are often accompanied by danger.

Even high-level adventurers risk dying if they encounter anomalies.

Therefore, retreating is the best choice for adventurers at such times.

"Sister Ryu! Help! There's another one here!" Lu Yuan screamed again.

"What!!?"

Bang!

The moment Ryu Lion turned her head, another Minotaur had appeared next to Lu Yuan and Bell without anyone noticing.

Furthermore, this Minotaur had already punched Lu Yuan hard in the abdomen, sending him flying backwards, smashing heavily against the cave wall, creating layers of smoke.

"Damn monster! You die!"

Seeing the monster send Lu Yuan flying and even attacking Bell again, the furious Ryu Lion turned into a green light and rushed towards Bell, the katana that should have returned to its scabbard flipped in her hand, finally, a few seconds before Bell was hit.

Puchi, a flash of silver light appeared, carrying a biting cold wind, Ryu Lion beheaded the Minotaur once again.

At the same time.

The Loki Familia, who had let the Minotaurs escape in the middle levels, and Aiz and her party, arrived in a hurry.

Looking at the slaughtered Minotaurs and the fallen Lu Yuan, the members of the Loki Familia all fell into a brief silence.

Due to their mistake.

It seemed that something had happened to an adventurer...

"Brother Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

Without paying attention to the newly arrived Loki Familia, Bell and Ryu Lion rushed to Lu Yuan's side.

"It's all my fault, that monster was originally going to attack me, but Brother Yuan pushed me away..."

Looking at Lu Yuan, who had his eyes closed tightly, Bell's tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice.

"It was my carelessness..." Ryu Lion clenched her fist and punched the ground, making a dull sound.

She was too relaxed! So much so that even the vigilance that adventurers rely on to survive had dropped to the lowest level.

If it were in the past, this behavior would definitely have killed the entire team.

Was it because the monsters were too weak that I became lost? Ryu Lion asked herself.

"That... I'm sorry, because of our reasons, everyone encountered such danger. If possible, we are willing to make some compensation, especially regarding this adventurer..."

Finn, the captain of the Loki Familia, who was the shortest in stature but had the highest prestige, looked at the three and slowly opened his mouth.

If nothing had happened, the Loki Familia could have ignored it.

But now that something had happened to someone, they had to take responsibility for it.

After all, these Minotaurs were released due to their mistake.

"Compensation!? Brother Yuan became like this because of your mistakes! You bunch of bastards!" Bell looked at the members of the Loki Familia hatefully.

"You brat, say that again? It's obviously because your partner isn't strong enough that he's like this!" Bete, the ferocious wolf in the Loki Familia, said unwillingly with a dark face.

They, the Loki Familia, had tried their best to chase the escaped Minotaurs.

If an adventurer was injured, it could only be blamed on his bad luck.

"Bete! Shut up!" Seeing the anger in Bell's eyes growing more and more intense, Captain Finn scolded Bete, told him to shut up, then took out a bag and continued: "Here are the magic stones and some materials we hunted, about 2 million Valis, please accept them."

"Consider it compensation from the Loki Familia. Also, if you have any difficulties, you can come to the Loki Familia to find me. As the captain, I can promise you a reasonable condition."

"Then, farewell."

Putting the bag full of supplies in his hand gently on the ground, Finn signaled the rest of the Familia to leave with him.

They had indirectly killed that adventurer, and if they stayed here any longer, it would be too tactless.

Just as Finn was turning to leave with everyone, Ryu Lion, whose face was full of frost, was about to raise her hand to do something, but who knew that she would be immediately grabbed by the hand by the 'unconscious' Lu Yuan.

And this scene was caught right in the eyes of Aiz, who turned back to look...
