As a special monster, although the LV4 Goliath has no special abilities, it is quite powerful. The sword in its hand can even kill ordinary LV4 monsters in an instant.
In front of Wood, it is like a fake strong skin, which is also the strength of Goliath.
Because of Goliath's tough skin, it is generally difficult for adventurers with lower levels to even do any damage to Goliath, let alone kill him.
This also resulted in Goliath not being afraid of being surrounded by a large number of adventurers, because no matter how many adventurers there were, if they were unable to cause harm to it, they would still be nothing more than ants in front of it.
If you want to cause effective damage to Goliath, you must be at least an adventurer of level 4, or an adventurer of level 3 holding a magical weapon.
As for LV2 and LV1 below LV3, there is no need to think about it, because at this level, even if you hold a magic weapon, it will not be able to pierce Goliath's skin due to insufficient strength attributes.
And in addition to strong skin, Goliath actually has another physical characteristic that Wood doesn't know about.
That is, Goliath is not only huge, but his body recovery ability is also quite powerful.
In other words, Goliath has a certain degree of self-healing ability and extremely high endurance.
With its strong skin, self-healing ability and super endurance, Goliath is destined not to be an easy bone to chew on.
If you want to defeat this floor master, the numerical advantage is meaningless. The best way is to form an elite team to attack it. Because of Goliath's self-healing ability, team battles and protracted battles are all about it.
no advantage.
Of course, because Wood's final choice when facing Goliath was to kill him with a knife, Goliath's so-called "self-healing" ability naturally had no chance to be displayed.
After all, the "self-healing" ability is not "regeneration", it is just a lower-level ability to recover quickly.
Even the "regeneration" ability requires a very high level of regeneration ability to ensure that the head can continue to survive after being chopped off.
Therefore, Goliath, the floor master on the 17th floor, is really not weak. People think that his strength is too weak, just because Wood himself is too perverted.
After killing the floor owner on the 17th floor, Wood quickly entered the 18th floor according to the map in his hand.
Compared to the previous floors, when Wood entered the 18th floor, he was quickly stunned by the scene in front of him.
Unlike the previous floors, there are a large number of buildings on the 18th floor, and there are more adventurers here than on all previous floors combined!
Said to be the floor of a dungeon, this place looks more like a small town.
"Look at that kid's reaction. He's another country bumpkin who came to the safe floor for the first time. This expression and reaction are quite interesting no matter how many times you see it."
"You're still making fun of me. When you first arrived at the safe floor, your expression was worse than others, right?"
"It's so annoying! I was young back then."
"Are you young? You see, he is much younger than you, and he came in alone. Do you know what this means?
Although he is a strange kid, he is probably the one who belongs to the family, so you’d better be more polite and don’t offend someone you can’t afford to offend.”
The so-called "safety floor" is a special floor in the dungeon, just like the floor where the floor master appears.
Because there will be no monsters on this floor and there is no danger at all, it is called the "safe floor".
Since monsters will not be refreshed, many adventurers who enter the dungeon do not want to return to the surface for the time being, so they choose a safe floor to rest.
Over time, many smart people discovered business opportunities, so they built buildings on the 18th floor.
Over the years, more and more buildings have stood here, and taverns, hotels, weapon shops and other facilities have gradually improved, leading to the formation of a new adventurer town "Rivera" on the 18th floor.
The adventurers who can come to "Rivera" are all high-level adventurers, because even if there is no floor master blocking the way, you need at least LV2 strength to get here.
When people in the town saw Wood's unfamiliar young face, they did not dare to underestimate him because Wood entered the safe floor alone.
If you want to successfully reach here, even LV2 adventurers usually need to form a team. The fact that Wood can come here alone either shows that he is strong enough to get here even by himself, or that his teammates are here.
Everyone died on the way.
But judging from Wood's condition, he doesn't look embarrassed at all, so obviously it can't be the latter.
And this also shows that the quality of adventurers who can reach the "safe floor" is not the same as the adventurers in the central square above ground, but in terms of their eyesight, they are not at the same level.
"Brother, this is your first time on the safe floor. Do you need some supplies? I can give you the best price."
Just like the central square on the ground, there are also many vendors on the 18th floor security floor. Wood just entered the floor and was quickly greeted by the vendors on the side.
And when Wood saw what the other party was selling, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Damn it, it's really expensive!"
Because the adventurers who can reach the safe floor are high-level adventurers, the quality and level of the items and props sold here are naturally much better than those in the central square on the ground.
But at this price, it is really expensive. Even if the quality and effect are comparable to those on the ground, the price on this safe floor is almost half more expensive than in the central square.
"Are you sure this price is correct? If the same supplies were sold in the central square, this price would be considered a pure black trader!"
From the 1st floor to the 18th floor, including killing the floor leader Goliath, Wood himself did not consume much. However, even so, he was still shocked by the prices on the safe floor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother, it seems that this is your first time coming to the safe floor. The prices of the things I have here are definitely high quality at the safe floor prices."
Cheap.
Go look at other supplies, such as this kind of urgently needed supplies. The selling price of that one is not 30% more expensive than mine?
Not to mention those hotels and inns, if you don’t pay more than three times the price, you can’t even think of eating or spending the night on a safe floor.”
"The prices on the safe floors are like this, and there are always people complaining, but why do you think the prices here are so high?
If I can reach here alone, I should be considered a pretty capable adventurer. So I want to ask you, how long did it take to get here from the first floor? You must have used up all the supplies on your body, right?"
Listening to what the merchant said, and looking at the adventurers beside him who had just arrived here and were tired of their travels, reluctantly buying high-priced supplies, Wood suddenly understood what the merchant meant.
"I see, the reason why the prices here are so high is because the adventurers who arrive here consume a huge amount of supplies, so they have to replenish and rest here?
The adventurers who arrive here consume a lot of money and either have to return to the ground along the same route, but if they want to continue exploring the dungeon, they will have no choice but to be slaughtered."
After hearing what Wood said, the vendor who had just greeted him suddenly became a little unhappy.
"Brother, what you said is a bit unpleasant. What does it mean to be slaughtered obediently? This means that one is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer.
And brother, do you think that for us traders and the taverns and hotels here, we have no expenses?
This is an underground city! Although this floor is a safe floor, we have to bear certain risks and costs by bringing supplies from the ground across the 17th floor.
Even though this place looks like a town, there was nothing here at the beginning. It was built by the powerful family members later with a lot of manpower and time."
Is it because of the difficulty of transportation and the geographical environment? After listening to the vendor's explanation, Wood felt relieved.
Indeed, what they said is quite reasonable. Ordinary adventurers will consume a lot of money when they arrive here, so don't do it for the merchants here.
Although it is a safe floor, supplies will not grow here on their own. It is extremely difficult to transport all kinds of things here from the ground, and it is quite normal that the prices of goods will be higher than those on the ground.
"Speaking of which, little brother, I've been chatting with you a lot. Don't you plan to buy something from me as a way of thanking me?"
The merchant brother looked at Wood who had fallen silent, and looked at Wood with a flattering expression and asked.
Yes, the reason why he struck up a conversation with Wood and chatted for so long was because he hoped that Wood would support his business. Otherwise, Wood is not a beautiful woman. How could he be so enthusiastic about a big man?
"I don't need supplies or anything just yet. Brother, do you have a map of the dungeon?"
Including the time to reach the eighth floor with Bell and the time to defeat the floor leader Goliath, Wood has spent less than three hours from entering the dungeon to now. Naturally, there is no need for supplies or anything else.
unnecessary.
However, recalling what Lyu said before, that the safe floor sells maps of the lower levels of the dungeon, Wood became interested in this.
"The map of the dungeon? The map of the lower floors (25th to 36th floor)?"
Wood was able to reach the safe floor on the 18th floor, and the merchant naturally knew that he had a map of the middle level of the dungeon, so the map he wanted to buy now could only be from the lower level.
However, looking at Wood's appearance, the vendor brother was also a little surprised. This was the first time he saw someone rushing to buy the map of the lower level of the dungeon just after entering the 18th floor.
"Not only the lower level maps, but also the deep dungeon maps, if the price is right, I would also like to buy them."
An adventurer who entered the safe floor for the first time wanted to buy a map of the lower level of the dungeon. The merchant was quite surprised, but he never expected that in addition to the lower level map, Wood actually planned to buy a deep level map.
"Little brother, please listen to my advice. It's really amazing that you can reach the safe floor alone at such a young age.
But don't be too ambitious. The dungeon is not as simple as you think. I have the map of the lower level here, and of course I can sell it to you, but I hope you won't rush to die just because of impulse."
After the merchant brother glanced at Wood in front of him, he quickly said this in a serious tone.
He has seen too many young people like Wood over the years.
After acquiring rare and powerful abilities or skills due to favors, he treated dungeons as child's play, and began to be pretentious, always thinking of exploring deeper floors, but in the end he lost his life.
After hearing the advice from the merchant brother, Wood was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the brother he had previously regarded as a shady businessman turned out to be a good person.
"Brother, don't worry. I bought the map of the lower level of the dungeon just because I will use it sooner or later. I won't go to the lower area to take risks immediately."
"Just be aware of the risks. The map on the lower level of the dungeon costs 150,000 mana. The price I gave you, brother, is definitely the most favorable one on the 18th floor.
If I hadn't wanted to sell you a favor because I saw your boy's future, I wouldn't have paid the same price for anyone else."
The map on the upper level of the dungeon costs 1,800 mana, the map on the middle level only costs 10,000 or 20,000 mana, and the map on the lower level actually costs 150,000 mana in one go.
However, Wood was not frightened by this price, because he had previously learned from Liukou about the current market price of dungeon maps.
The price of 150,000 faris is comparable to the price sold in the central square on the ground, but the maps sold on the safe floor are much more detailed than those on the ground.
He just received 800,000 faries yesterday. After excluding the money spent on Bell's equipment and his own weapons, Wood now has about 100,000 faries left in his hand.
For the shortfall, Wood could only take out the previous harvest on the front floor and use it as collateral.
Magic stones are hard currency in Orario, and the vendor did not refuse. However, when converting the magic stones and materials handed over by Wood into Farley, the vendor also said: "Brother, don't say that, brother.
I'm kidding you, if you get the magic stones and materials here from the Adventurer's Guild on the ground, you can exchange them for about 120,000 mana.
But here in Rivera, it will also be reduced by about 30%, which means there will be about 80,000 faries left. Are you sure you still want to make a discount?"
When he heard that the purchase price of magic stones and materials on the safe floor was much lower than on the ground, Wood just thought about it and understood the reason.
Although the dungeon looks like an RPG game, the adventurers here are not real players, so there can be no such things as space warehouses.
Magic stones and various dropped items are also equivalent to baggage for them, so in order to avoid exploring the later floors with an excessive burden, adventurers often dispose of their gains here.
The purchase price of magic stones and other dropped items will be reduced in the same way as materials, because the merchants and family members who purchase these magic stones and materials also need to consume manpower and material resources and bear the burden of bringing the things back to the ground.
A certain amount of sharing.
After understanding the reason, Wood also expressed his understanding, and also gave the merchant his previous harvest at 70% of the price.
