At the entrance to the floor closest to the surface, Li Ge and Lefiya were walking down the stairs.
There were other adventurers traveling with him, including orcs, dwarves, elves, and Amazons.
Rige and Lefia were not particularly conspicuous among them. Except for some male adventurers who cast slightly lustful glances at Lefia, the two hardly attracted anyone's attention.
Lefiya seemed a little uneasy, holding the staff tightly in her hand and carrying a huge backpack on her body, and followed Li Ge step by step.
Li Geze and Lefia chatted casually without saying a word, and they didn't stop until they finished walking up the stairs and stepped onto the ground on the first floor.
"Then, as we just discussed, I will be the front guard and you will be the rear guard responsible for fire support. Is that okay?"
Li Ge asked Lefiya.
"No, no problem!"
Lefia nodded quickly without any objection.
"Then I'll trouble you." Li Ge had to say: "Because there is one less person in our team, as a defender, you may take some risks. I will try my best not to let any monster approach you.
Just chant magic with peace of mind."
It is generally believed that when conquering a dungeon, it is best to work as a team of three people, each responsible for attack, defense and support.
The vanguard is the main attacker, and also has the responsibility of attracting the enemy's attention, blocking the enemy's advance, and preventing the companions in the rear from being threatened by monsters.
The central defender is responsible for preventing the enemy's counterattack, and sometimes needs to assist the forward to reduce the pressure on the forward.
The rear guard is mainly responsible for long-distance support. It can use magic attacks, and can also use bows and arrows to assist remotely. It also serves as the recovery center for the two frontline players when they are injured.
A team with clearly defined responsibilities like this has a significant effect on conquering dungeons.
Therefore, guilds and major clans organize their strategies using this team model and joint actions. Unless there are no conditions, when exploring dungeons, a three-person team is the minimum requirement.
Under such circumstances, if the team lacks one person and becomes a team of two, the burden on one of them will increase, and the probability of encountering accidents and dangers during the strategy will also increase.
Lefia is a pure defender mage, and can do almost nothing except use magic for long-range attacks and fire support. Considering this, Rige took the initiative to take over the positions of forward and center defender.
In other words, Li Ge had to act as a vanguard and charge into the battle, attracting the enemy's attacks, and he also had to stop all the monsters and prevent any of them from breaking through the defense line and coming to Lefia.
This burden is naturally very heavy, and it makes Lefiya feel a little guilty.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help”
Lefia didn't dare to look into Li Ge's eyes.
"Don't say that." Li Ge shook his head, looked at Lefiya, and said: "After all, you are a defender mage. With such a position, you should not do things beyond your scope of responsibility."
As he spoke, Li Ge took out the map, spread it out, and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Considering that our team has just been formed, let alone cooperation, we don't know each other well enough. Today we will try to break through according to the situation. It should be no problem to break through to around the 9th floor, right?"
After all, Lefiya is a second-level adventurer of level 3. Even if she is a pure defender mage, she has no melee ability, but the level advantage is there. It is basically impossible to have a floor with only monsters classified as level 1.
Causing fatal damage to Lefiya.
Looking at it this way, unless the two of them go down to the 13th floor where monsters classified as 2 will appear, even if Lefia is attacked, she will only be slightly injured at most and will not lose her life.
However, considering that it was the first time for the two to form a team and cooperate for the first time, going directly to the 10th to 12th floors where large monsters appeared might also encounter some risks, so Li Ge temporarily set the target on the 9th floor.
Although Li Ge personally wanted to continue his career, today was not for excitement, but to hone his team combat capabilities. He had to give up the idea that he would be criticized and focused on the fact that he was not willing to accept it before.
on the "security" issue.
However, Li Ge felt that he had fully considered safety, but Lefia was shocked by his words.
"The ninth floor!?"
Lefia's big eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Li Ge.
no way.
"You want to go down to such a deep floor?" Lefiya asked: "Mr. Rigg has just become an adventurer not long ago, or even just received the favor. He is a complete newcomer, how can he go to such a deep floor?"
As someone who had accompanied the seniors of the family on expeditions, Lefia had even been to the ultra-deep layers around the 50th floor, so naturally she would not be frightened by a mere ninth floor.
But Rige was a newcomer who had just joined the clan, and even though Lefiya was completely unable to act like a senior in front of him, she still knew how dangerous it would be for a newcomer to go to the ninth floor.
That is a floor that only veteran adventurers who are considered masters in Level 1 can go there, and in the form of a team.
Li Ge, a newcomer who had joined the Familia for less than a week, went to that floor with an immature descendant of the Familia, and still had the dual duties of vanguard and central defender. To put it bluntly, this was not the way to seek death.
"Don't worry." Seeing that Lefiya was trying to stop him, Li Ge said, "It's only the ninth floor. It won't put me in danger now."
With Li Ge's current abilities, level 9 is almost no longer difficult for him.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the two basic abilities of "dexterity" and "agility", Li Ge has already trained them to the B stage, and even "strength" and "durability" have reached the C stage.
According to the floor indicators of the safety strategy, at this stage 1, the safety exploration requirement for the 8th to 10th floors is to have an ability that reaches the E to C stages, and the 11th and 12th floors have to reach the B to S stages.
.
Therefore, Li Ge can now go down to the 11th floor and carry out safety strategies there, and even go to the 12th floor without any problem.
It's just the 9th level. As long as Li Ge doesn't completely lose his fighting ability or is surrounded by an incalculable number of monsters, it may be difficult for him to even be slightly injured.
"But"
Lefia, who didn't know all this, still looked a little worried.
Seeing this, Li Ge did not force himself and said something.
"Otherwise, how about we try to explore first and decide which floor we want to go to later?"
Hearing this, Lefia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
"Then let's set off."
Li Ge put away the map and smiled at Lefiya.
Looking at the calm and steady smile on Li Ge's face, Lefiya seemed to feel at ease, and she also smiled rarely.
At this time, Lefiya still didn't know that the calmness and stability she felt were just superficial.
Soon, her knowledge of Li Ge will be shattered into pieces.
Underground city, level 6.
This is a floor deeper than the 5th floor, which is known as the first line of casualties for adventurers, and a much more dangerous floor than the 5th floor.
In this layer, there is a monster called War Shadow.
It was an alien monster with a humanoid outline, without any tissue that resembled hair or skin, and its whole body seemed to be covered in black paint. Its head was in the shape of a cross, its face was like a mirror, and it was highly similar to the shadow of a human.
This monster is called the Rookie Killer together with the killer ants on the 7th floor. Although its attacks are monotonous, it has eye-popping power and speed. In addition, its arms with impressive attack range can be extended from all angles, and its sharp
The claws are like long knives that can easily cut off a person's head. For new adventurers who have only dealt with low-level monsters such as kobolds and goblins, they are fatally dangerous.
Especially when the number of war shadows accumulates to a certain scale, even a veteran in level 1 may die if he falls into their encirclement.
In view of this, war shadows are regarded by many adventurers as one of the most threatening representative monsters in the upper levels. One or two alone are fine, but if they encounter a group of war shadows, unless they have been upgraded, few people will
To provoke them.
But today, this unspoken rule recognized by adventurers was broken by a newcomer who had just received the favor.
And, still in the most brutal way.
"Pfft!"
Accompanied by a sound like chopping flesh, the silver sword blade instantly cut open the neck of a war shadow, causing its cross-shaped head to fly high.
Li Ge held a thin sword and galloped among a group of war shadows.
A large number of war shadows surrounded Li Ge and stretched out their sharp claws, intending to disembowel Li Ge.
However, the war shadows' usual invincible speed and attack range were of no use in front of Li Ge.
Li Ge shook off the "slow" war shadows at a speed comparable to bullets. The sharp sword in his hand easily passed through countless sharp claws, pulling up pieces of sword light and disemboweling each of the war shadows.
belly, beheaded on the spot.
From a distance, it looked like a phantom flickering back and forth among a group of war shadows, causing waves of swords and swords to carry out a unilateral massacre, which was extremely shocking.
""
Lefia, who was holding the staff, was stunned.
The elf girl who originally planned to chant magic to support her completely forgot about her duties and looked at the "newcomer" in confusion as she slaughtered the monsters.
"Is this a newcomer?"
Such a mellow battle.
Such capable slaughter.
Is this something a newcomer can do?
Are all the newcomers so strong now?
So what am I?
Waste?
Lefiya was shocked.
What surprised the girl the most was that she actually saw a familiar shadow in Li Ge's ruthless charge.
A figure that a girl has longed for, admired, and loved for a long time.
"Miss Ais?"
Why is Mr. Rigg's fighting style so similar to Miss Ais?
