I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Click.

Feeling restricted, Buck took off his equipment.

At this moment, the demon horns on Buck's head doubled in length, with their tips curving backward.

The four eyes on its face were split, with two red pupils in each eye.

Pfft!

Red bone spurs pierced out from near Buck's shoulder blades, then flattened out, enveloping his shoulders and neck.

Next, the claws on Buck's hands and feet began to fall off, and then even harder and sharper blood-red claws grew back.

Even at the edge of the demon wings, more than a dozen red bone spurs have grown!

The bulging muscles highlight the strength and explosive power of the body's owner.

[Red Claw Demon Buck has been promoted to a seventh-tier Blood Claw Demon!]

Upon advancing to the next level, Buck felt a surge of power coursing through his body and immediately knelt before Anno, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Master, for advancing my level!"

Anno observed Buck for a while and discovered that his life points were as high as 1.5 million!

"As expected of a warrior race, the demon race has more than half more health points than a seventh-tier human knight of the same level."

Furthermore, the newly added skill [True Demon Liberation] can greatly enhance the demon's physique and strengthen its combat power.

It is a powerful short-duration burst skill.

This should be a skill that a seventh-tier demon possesses.

Buck will need to learn and comprehend its subsequent seventh-tier skills on its own.

Although two red souls were lost, Anno gained another powerful general.

The nearby Tier 6 summons all wore expressions of envy upon seeing Buck successfully advance to the next tier.

Especially the lich.

Seeing its former comrade-in-arms grow even stronger, it even tore its own robes to shreds.

After greeting Liz and Sassi, Anno led Buck and Rutherford back into the hall.

Having just advanced to the seventh rank, Buck consciously stepped forward, keeping a watchful eye on any enemies that might appear inside the hall at any moment.

At this moment, Buck desperately hoped that there were still level seven enemies inside.

In this way, it can leave its first battle of the seventh tier here and demonstrate its abilities to its master.

But the result was disappointing.

After checking the entire area, Buck found that apart from large patches of dust, there were no enemies.

"Reporting to Master, nothing unusual!"

Buck and Rutherford came over to report the situation.

Anno stood in the center of the hall, looking at the entrance to the passage leading to the fourth floor, and nodded.

Based on the current intelligence, it's not hard to deduce that the core area of ​​the fourth level of this underground city called Hidden Dragon City will contain many seventh-tier gargoyles and golems.

The passage from the fourth to the fifth floor will most likely be guarded by eighth-tier guards.

Following this logic, the final guardian between the fifth and sixth floors should be at the ninth rank!

As the sixth level, the lowest level in Hidden Dragon City, even the ninth rank might not be the highest level.

But now another problem is troubling Anno.

Before entering the dungeon, Anno encountered a stone sculpture of a half-dragon.

On the third level, a seventh-tier gargoyle in the shape of a half-dragon appeared.

This underground city is also known as Hidden Dragon City.

No matter how you look at it, this place seems to be the territory of the half-dragons.

Is the Deep Sea Fairy, a god-level powerhouse of the sea race, really sealed in such a place?

The dungeon manual also states that the sixth floor seals the Demon Eye, which controls life and death.

It now seems more likely that the Demon Eye is sealed here.

"There might be level eight beings on the fourth level. If their defenses aren't limited to the core area, I might encounter danger if I go down there rashly."

After thinking for a while, Anno came up with a solution.

Since one's own abilities are limited, then one should bring others along.

There are plenty of eighth-tier powerhouses within the kingdom.

Call on Troy, and also invite Xue Feibai and the others' mentors, and we can all go on an adventure in the dungeon together.

Although a lot of experience points will be lost from killing enemies, at least the safety factor will be greatly increased.

If we wait until Anno reaches level eight before exploring, who knows how long that will take.

After leaving the main hall, Liz and Sassi were taking a break.

The two of them had reached level 35, but there were still about twenty Rank 6 enemies left to kill.

The two killed dozens of sixth-tier enemies in succession, exhausting both their magic power and physical strength.

If we don't rest, something unexpected might happen during the battle.

As for the surviving sixth-tier golems and gargoyles, they are now bound in place by a group of summoned creatures, unable to move, like lambs to the slaughter.

"Master, the main hall is mostly cleaned up, but there are probably still many magical beasts in the area behind it. Should I go and clean that up too?"

Buck glanced at the back of the hall and couldn't help but clink his paws together.

It is now eager for battle.

Anno led his men to the main hall from the front.

However, the entire third layer is a square structure.

There are still two-thirds of the places that Anno has not been to.

Based on previous experience, the remaining areas must contain a large number of Tier 6 magical beasts.

"Wouldn't it be a waste for you to kill a sixth-tier magical beast?"

Anno glared at Buck with annoyance.

Wouldn't it be better to let Sassi and Liz handle it?

However, the two of them certainly don't have the energy to deal with those magical beasts right now.

While they rested, Anno sent Buck to find William and the others who had escaped.

In fact, these people just ran back to the passageway between the third and second floors.

William and the others did not flee directly back to the ground because they were worried that if Anno won the battle, he would assume that they were trying to escape.

If Anno thinks they will reveal the secrets of the underground city after they leave, he might hunt them down.

Offending a high-ranking official would be a death sentence for William, even if he had several lives.

Since that's the case, it's better to stay at a distance.

After Anno achieves victory, they will gather around to congratulate him, express their loyalty, and ask for a way to survive.

Of course, if Anno loses the fight and is killed by the dungeon guards, they will not hesitate to run away.

When Buck brought them back, William and his men approached Anno with smiles on their faces, praising Anno's strength incessantly.

Subsequently, William and Rat, both at the peak of the sixth rank, knelt on one knee before Anno, expressing their allegiance to Baron Anno, the lord of Xuelong City in the Kingdom of Nigar.

William's men all knelt down.

At this moment, even the most foolish person would know that Anno's answer would determine their fate.

Anno originally did not intend to let William and the others leave, after all, they were people from the Duchy of Aurel.

However, he happened to be short of some subordinates in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

William's ability to survive exploring the perilous third level of the dungeon until now is quite impressive.

Therefore, Anno accepted the allegiance of William and others.

William breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving an affirmative answer.

Although it was only a verbal agreement, William had no ulterior motives.

Anno didn't even ask William to bring his family from the Duchy of Aurel to the city of Selangor.

However, when William brought up this condition, Anno simply replied, "Okay."

Glancing around the crowd, Anno noticed someone was missing and asked, "Where is Earl Gilbert?"
