From then on, Liu would go to the dungeon with Ye Shanming every afternoon, starting from the eighteenth floor to search for the remnants of the dark faction.
However, ever since the day Liu discovered it, the remnants of the dark faction had simply vanished without a trace. After searching for two months, the two of them hadn't found anything at all.
As soon as she entered the dungeon, Liu drew out the wooden sword from her waist and switched to combat mode. Compared to her shop assistant state, she looked more heroic.
The two of them cleared out the monsters blocking their way along the way, not paying attention to the small magic stones that fell, and quickly moved towards the lower level.
It took about an hour for the two to reach the eighteenth floor, which was also the first safe floor in the dungeon.
Monsters will not spawn on this entire floor, so it has become an area for high-level adventurers to rest and trade. A small town has even been built here, named Rivera Town by the adventurers.
"Oh, it's the Lord God Ye Shanming. I've never seen a god like you come to the dungeon every day."
A middle-aged man was sitting behind the counter. When he saw Ye Shanming walk in, he greeted him familiarly.
Ever since that war game, there are almost no adventurers who don't know this god.
"Is there any news of suspected immortal spirits in the dungeon today?"
Ye Shanming left a few coins on the counter. The boss took them back and shook his head.
"I still haven't heard of any news of immortal spirits appearing."
"After all, the fairy spirit hasn't appeared in hundreds of years. If it weren't for your request, I would have thought it was just a figment of a fairy tale."
"Then please continue to help me keep an eye out for news about the immortal spirit."
Ye Shanming was not disappointed when he heard the boss's answer. In the past two months, he would look for this store owner who mainly dealt in intelligence every day and ask him to help him keep an eye out for news about fairy spirits among adventurers.
After leaving a few words, he left the humble shop and called out to Liu who was waiting outside:
"Let's go."
Liu nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the entrance of the town. However, Liu was not in good shape today and looked dazed.
"Why don't we cancel today's operation? I can handle it by myself. You should go back and rest first."
Liu's condition made Ye Shanming a little worried, and he didn't know what happened when she was changing clothes.
"nothing."
Liu shook his head, let out a long breath, forced himself to cheer up, and looked sideways at Ye Shanming:
"Can you take a moment to go somewhere with me?"
On a grassland far away from the small town, there stands a lonely grave silently. It is unknown how much time has passed. The grave is covered with weeds and surrounded by several broken weapons.
Liu walked forward with heavy steps, gently brushed his right hand across a rusty sword, and placed the white wreath in his hand on it.
Then he stood in front of the grave, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Ye Shanming stood behind her, watching her movements silently.
"Do you know the Astralia Familia?"
Liu suddenly spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere. His voice was crushed in the breeze and drifted into Ye Shanming's ears.
At this moment, the sadness on her face was so thick that it could not be dissolved. She was no longer a heroic elf adventurer, but more like a lonely girl who had lost her family.
Although she asked, she did not wait for Ye Shanming's answer, but continued to speak:
"Lord Astraea, the goddess of justice and order. Because of this, her followers are determined to maintain justice and order in Orario, and have always been at the forefront of the fight against the dark factions."
"The Astralia family's style of behavior naturally became a thorn in the side of the dark faction, and finally five years ago—"
Liu's calm voice paused for a moment, and her eyes revealed deep hatred. Even from her words, one could feel the fire of revenge burning in her heart.
"The Rudra clan of the dark faction set an ambush, and the Astralia clan was completely wiped out. Only one useless elf managed to survive with the help of all the members."
Ye Shanming continued to remain silent. It was obvious that the useless elf was Liu in front of him.
"Since then, the Lord Astraea left Orario, and she stayed here alone, seeking revenge against those dark factions."
"Finally, two years ago, she killed all the members of the openly known dark faction, ending the Dark Age. She was wanted by the guild for murder. At that time, she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but she received help from someone and eventually became anonymous and stayed in Orario."
From a third-party perspective, Liu confessed to Ye Shanming all the darkest and most unrequited experiences in his past. He couldn't help but think of what Xier said to him when he was changing clothes today.
She stuck the wooden sword in her hand, named Elf Flowing Light, into the ground, turned around and faced Ye Shanming, the fire of hatred burning in her eyes, as if it wanted to turn her into firewood and burn her to ashes.
"Lord Akira Hayama, will you help me completely annihilate the remnants of the dark faction still hiding in Orario?"
"can."
Ye Shanming replied in a deep voice and made a serious promise: "I will do my best to help you."
He just lived longer, so he doesn't care much about many things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper.
The dark faction's temptation towards him was undoubtedly a declaration of war against him. Even if Liu had not had the past, he would have wiped out all the dark factions.
"Then I am willing to join your clan, Lord Ye Shanming."
Liu knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and offered his loyalty to Ye Shanming.
"Welcome to join us, Liuliang."
A big hand stretched out in front of Liu. She pursed her lips, grabbed Ye Shanming's hand, stood up from the ground, drew out the wooden sword, and put it back to her waist.
"Let's continue searching for the traces of those rats, Lord Ye Shanming."
After making up his mind to join Ye Shanming's family, the trance on Liu's face disappeared, replaced by determination and unquenchable hatred.
In the following time, the two searched the 18th floor, but still could not find any trace of the remnants of the dark faction that Liu had accidentally discovered.
The two continued to explore the lower levels. Liu, who had already explained the past to Ye Shanming, began to explain to him:
"Slave Cat Jharaharma, a cadre of the dark faction Rudra's family, was also one of the culprits that led to the annihilation of Astralia's family five years ago."
Just by mentioning this person's name, Liu's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, his knuckles turning white. A creepy sense of oppression emanated from him, and his tone was extremely cold:
"I severed his left arm and cut off his left ear, but unfortunately he escaped. I thought he had left Orario and I would never have the chance to avenge him. I never expected..."
Liu's eyes focused, and he drew out the wooden sword at his waist, directly cutting off a vine that was winding towards him. His figure disappeared on the spot. In a flash, the moss giant that attacked the two of them not far away began to turn into black ash and drift away.
Liu picked up the magic stone that fell from the air, turned around and returned to Ye Shanming. He was about to continue the previous topic when he saw Ye Shanming frowning and looking in another direction.
"Did you find anything?"
Liu quickly noticed Ye Shanming's abnormality, and without waiting for the latter to say anything, he rushed directly in the direction Ye Shanming was staring.
"Wait……"
As soon as Ye Shanming shouted, Liu's figure turned into a small dot. He could only use flying magic to quickly catch up with Liu.
In the jungle, a blue-haired girl was running for her life, her face full of confusion.
"Catch her quickly, don't let her run away!"
Behind her, several adventurers had greedy smiles on their faces, urging their companions to follow closely behind the girl.
However, their physical fitness is obviously not as good as that of girls, and the gap between them is visibly widening.
"Why are you arresting me? I helped you!"
Tears welled up in the corners of the girl's eyes, which were covered with a few tiny dragon scales, and her tone was quite aggrieved.
Ever since she became conscious, she has been in this underground city. There is nothing in her mind except her own memories and some common sense.
I lived on this floor for a few days. During this time, I picked up a piece of discarded clothing from a passing adventurer, altered it, and put it on myself.
Until today, she saw several adventurers being chased by swarms of killer bees, so she took the initiative to lead them to escape to a safe place. As a result, the group of people she had just rescued turned around and tried to catch her.
Stab it!
The branches of the bush caught the black hood that the girl was wearing. In desperation, she struggled to break free, and her clothes were torn open, revealing the pale blue skin underneath.
And for some reason, the girl felt her steps become heavier, the scenery in her sight began to appear double, and her speed suddenly slowed down.
"The drug is taking effect. Catch her quickly and don't let anyone else find her! Lord Ja Luo has said that we must be careful during this period!"
"You just said Jara's name, didn't you?!"
A bone-chilling voice filled with murderous intent rang out in the jungle. A green figure shuttled through the jungle, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed towards the group of adventurers.
The girl felt like she had bumped into something. She looked up and saw the face of a black-haired boy reflected in his golden pupils. Then her mind went dizzy and she lost consciousness.
Ye Shanming hugged her and frowned as he looked at the tiny dragon scales at the corners of her eyes and the claws that were obviously inhuman.
The girl had a strong aura of demons, but she was completely different from the demons in the dungeon. If you had to say, she was somewhat similar to the magic power he extracted from the air when Chanis died.
While he was thinking, Liu had already come over with an adventurer. After confirming that this group of people were related to the slave cat Chara, she ruthlessly killed the rest on the spot, leaving only one alive.
"Tell me, where is that guy Jara hiding now?!"
Ryu mercilessly threw the adventurer to the ground, the wooden sword pointed at his throat. The latter trembled with fear and begged for mercy:
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! After I confess, can you spare my life?"
Ye Shanming glanced at him, and the crisp sound of snapping fingers reached his ears, accompanied by a faint fluctuation of magic power, and the divine light in the latter's eyes quickly disappeared.
"Ryu, be alert."
After Chanis died unexpectedly during the last interrogation, Ye Shanming planned to use mind control magic to forcibly read his memory.
As for the issue of mental confusion after reading the memory, he was too lazy to worry about it.
To be on the safe side, he also set up a barrier around him that could block detection and sight. Then he placed his hand on the adventurer's head and began to forcibly read his memory.
Just as the adventurer's spirit was penetrated deep into his mind, the life force in his body quickly disappeared, his body twitched unnaturally, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Stab it!
A carnivorous plant half the height of a man broke out from his heart, opened its big mouth covered with saliva, and bit Ye Shanming's head.
Chapter 14: Expedition Accidents & Heretics.
boom!
A thin beam of white light flashed by and sank into the big mouth of the Piranha Plant, directly piercing it through. Translucent mucus continued to flow out from the big hole.
The huge flower lay powerlessly on the adventurer's chest. In just a moment, the bodies of the man and the flower turned into black ashes and disappeared.
Liu glanced at Ye Shanming, suddenly looked up, and his figure shot out like an arrow, disappearing on the spot.
A moment later, she came back with a heavy face, and facing Ye Shanming's questioning eyes, she shook her head:
"The bodies of those people also disappeared."
"It's the same as the corpse of a dead dungeon monster."
Ye Shanming pondered for a moment, squatted down, pinched his fingers, and drew out a wisp of black magic power that had not yet completely dissipated from the air. It looked like drifting smoke on the surface, and soon completely dissipated in the air.
"Sure enough, the nature of the magic is exactly the same as when Chanis died."
He stood up from the ground, feeling that things were a bit tricky. He didn't expect that even though he had set up an isolation barrier this time and didn't see the mysterious black shadow appear, this kind of silencing still happened.
"Burial the seeds of the Piranha Plant Monster into the heart. As soon as the internal magic senses the invasion of alien magic, it will be activated directly? What a cruel method."
Ye Shanming turned his head to look at Liu who was standing beside him and asked, "Liu, do you have any impression of the dark faction that used this method?"
Liu frowned and searched her memory. After a while, she shook her head helplessly:
"I'm sorry, I just can't remember."
"If you can't remember, forget it."
Seeing her frowning face, Ye Shanming comforted her and turned his gaze to the blue-haired girl in his arms:
"Since they are chasing this girl, as long as we take her away, these people will definitely show up."
Liu nodded, agreeing with his point of view, and the two of them ended today's search and returned to the upper level together. In short, they had to bring the girl back to the clan's residence first.
Ye Shanming looked at the girl's skin color and sharp claws, which were different from those of ordinary people. He silently used her clothes to wrap her tightly and held her in his arms to prevent passing adventurers from noticing the abnormality of the girl.
More than twenty floors were no pressure for the two of them, and the monsters born were only at Lv.2 level. However, in a moment, they returned to the upper floor.
Just as I returned to the fifth floor, I suddenly heard a noisy sound from the entrance behind me, and a large number of low-level adventurers fled in panic from the lower floors.
"Hey, run! The Minotaur is rioting and is coming!"
As the black-haired kimono girl shouted, the entire fifth floor suddenly became a mess, and a large number of minotaur monsters followed them and rushed up.
For some reason, Ye Shanming always felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar.
However, he and Liu still worked together to clean up these minotaur monsters that rushed up for no apparent reason.
As adventurers were being chased and ran up from time to time, he did not use magic for the first time in a long time, but relied on martial arts to kill the monsters. He and Liu almost killed them one by one, crushing them with pure strength.
