Wrong, the blind swordsman of the Amed family

Bai Ye waved his hand and did not continue discussing the matter. As for the fact that he would die if he teamed up with Filiweisi, to be honest, he was actually somewhat interested in it, but now he had no chance.

Daylight soon arrived. Bai Ye and the other two set up their tent. After Bai Ye's wave perception locked onto a certain direction, he said to the two girls, "I have some things to do. You guys rest here for a while. When I come back, we'll set out to explore the 19th floor."

Lefiya was stunned, blinking her beautiful eyes and looking at Bai Ye. She wanted to ask to follow him to prevent that "vixen" from pestering Bai Ye, but after noticing the direction he was facing, she realized something and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, Bai Ye, be careful. Although it is a safe floor, you can't be careless." Lefiya walked up to Bai Ye and whispered instructions like a partner who is seeing someone off.

Ming was a little confused, but thinking that everyone has their own privacy, he did not ask about this matter. Instead, he made a fire and began to prepare today's meals and the combat rations needed for exploring the floor later.

After leaving, Bai Ye walked towards a secluded place, which was the location of the tomb of Astralia's family. Since he had come to the 18th floor, he would mourn for them on behalf of Liu. At least there were still people in this world who remembered them.

Bai Ye picked wild white flowers along the way until there were just enough in front and behind the tomb. He placed the white flowers on each weapon. There were one or two left. After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye placed them on Alyse, the former leader of the Astralia clan.

After all, she is the leader of the clan, so it is normal to receive some special treatment. Bai Ye has also heard Liu mention this heroic woman many times. Unlike the dull Liu, she has a cheerful personality and was the one who invited Liu to join the Astralia clan.

But for some reason, the Guanshi Zhengzong on his waist began to tremble slightly at this time, and this sudden situation made Bai Ye stand up immediately from his sitting position, frowning, and his wave perception instantly covered the extreme range.

"Who." A cold voice came out of his mouth, but the wave perception and the coverage of the murderous intention wave did not detect any breath fluctuations. He was the only one here, and there was no one else.

But Bai Ye did not relax his vigilance. Guanshi Zhengzong had already unsheathed his sword, and two wave marks were faintly flowing above his head. As long as there was any trace of breath fluctuation, he would kill without hesitation.

Bai Ye is not a lucky guy. He will never use 70% of his strength to solve a problem that can be solved with 30% of his strength. Bai Ye is different. He is so cautious by nature. If he can kill the opponent with one blow, he will never hold back.

The situation of a battle changes rapidly, and perhaps the first moment of confrontation may determine the outcome of the battle.

After about half a minute of detection, Bai Ye did not notice anything unusual, but the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand was still shaking, which made Bai Ye realize that it seemed that it was not an enemy that appeared, but Guanshi Zhengzong... resonated with him?

I've heard Hephaestus mention before that her Guanze Masamune is like a "spirit" that can not only resonate with Bai Ye himself, but also resonate with other weapons.

"Wait...could it be?" Bai Ye couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and his body was surrounded by the power of fluctuations that poured into Guanshi Zhengzong. The originally pitch-black blade now showed a deep blue luster, and blue lightning leaped in it.

Immediately afterwards, Guanshi Zhengzong floated up, and a blue beam of light burst out, falling equally on each relic. This sudden scene made Bai Ye look both surprised and thoughtful.

Is this... the resonance that Lady Hephaestus spoke of? Furthermore, Bai Ye and Guan Ze Masamune had already achieved the state of [Man and Sword Unity], so through Guan Ze Masamune, he could sense the will of these relics.

A blazing glow, a vibrant crimson, echoed in Bai Ye's mind. Was this... Alyse? The wave pattern unique to this will was recorded in Bai Ye's mind.

What followed was a sharp sword intent and a will as gentle as holy light. Bai Ye could clearly feel the remaining fluctuations of their will, as if they were trying to tell him something.

Bai Ye knew their names respectively, Gojono Kaguya, Mariu, Leila...

But Bai Ye could not understand what they meant, and could only remember all the fluctuating wills in his mind. Finally, the light of Guanshi Zhengzong dissipated and turned into a pitch-black long sword again.

However, the many relics that were originally rusted and decayed have changed. Although they cannot be said to be brand new from the factory, they are much brighter and more beautiful than their previous rotten and dilapidated appearance, as if someone has been using them all the time.

"Is this...an unexpected gain?" Bai Ye felt the thoughts in these multiple wills and for a moment he didn't even know what to say.

This situation had never occurred when he came with Liu before, but now there has been such a change, which made Bai Ye a little at a loss.

"Maybe... they have something to say to Liu. When we return to the ground, tell Liu the news." Bai Ye did not understand this will, probably because he was not a member of Astralia's family.

As for why his Guanze Zhengzong can resonate with the many relics of Astraea's family, the reason should be what Lady Hephaestus called "resonance echo". Now Bai Ye is the only one in the world.

Bai Ye looked at each of these weapons with his wave perception, and after pondering for a moment, he leaned forward to salute. They were respectable heroes and deserved the respect of future generations.

Whether it was practicing Astralia's justice, defending the city, or leaving an indelible mark on the era of great resistance, they lived so proudly, persevered throughout, and played the ode to justice with their lives. This is the story of people called heroes.

As visitors, Bai Ye's path continues, following the footsteps they once left behind, to explore, to witness, to become heroes, and to create a future that they have never been able to create.

"May your righteous will live forever."

Bai Ye sang softly, and finally turned and left leisurely. These relics seemed to have consciousness, flashing with a faint luster, watching the young man who would become a hero leave.

After finishing the memorial service for Astralia's family, they returned to the camp. As if thinking of something, Bai Ye gently tapped the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand and whispered, "Do you also feel their will?"

Guanshi Zhengzong trembled slightly. It was Bai Ye's weapon and had the same affinity as its master. After feeling the last will of Astralia's family, even it couldn't help but feel a bit more compassion.

All things have spirits, even cold weapons are no exception. Moreover, it actually shares the same emotions as himself, feeling sorry for the destruction of this clan.

"Bai Ye, did something happen?" Sitting by the campfire, Lefiya had sat next to Bai Ye close to him without her knowing when, her eyes shining with curiosity.

Although Bai Ye looked no different from usual, Lefiya had a deep understanding of him and could detect something unusual just by the changes in his expression and emotions.

"Um...it's about Liu. Sorry, Lefiya, this matter is private to Liu. I'll tell her after we return to the surface and then tell you."

Bai Ye spoke after a moment of silence. He did not describe the previous situation, but gave Lefiya an apologetic expression and gave this response.

Indeed, Bai Ye thought about it and decided that the matter regarding Astralia's family could not be spread without Liu's permission, especially since it was such an important matter.

This was Liu's past. Since she chose to tell him, it meant trust. Therefore, Bai Ye would naturally not let Liu down for her absolute trust in him, so he did not say it out loud.

"Eh? Miss Liu's? Okay, it's okay, Bai Ye. After all, this is Miss Liu's trust in you. Of course, you can't tell her without her permission."

Lefiya was a little surprised after hearing Bai Ye's answer. She didn't expect that this matter would involve Liu's thoughts. She quickly waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

She didn't expect that this matter actually involved Miss Liu, and what surprised Lefiya even more was that there was a "secret" between Bai Ye and Liu. It was really jealous. Why didn't she and Bai Ye have that?

But after thinking about the existence of the [Life and Death Contract] between herself and Bai Ye, Lefiya felt a lot more at ease. It was obvious that she knew what position she occupied in Bai Ye's heart.

According to Lefiya's strategy, the initial confession has been completed. All she needs to do next is wait patiently, and then gradually occupy Bai Ye's world, making him think about her all the time.

Five years later, it was the time for Lefiya to truly confess her love. At this moment, a small drama appeared in Lefiya's mind again. She was already imagining her future child with Bai Ye.

Give birth to a lovely daughter? No, no... A daughter will steal Bai Ye's attention from me. Let me give birth to a son. Hmm... One son and one daughter. Isn't it said that having both a son and a daughter is the best?

Faced with Lefiya who was already in a trance, Bai Ye was helpless and could only sigh helplessly. The power of waves lingered around her body, allowing her to rest and sleep peacefully.

Before she knew it, Lefiya had fallen asleep. The sound of even breathing could be heard from inside the tent. Lefiya hugged the thin blanket tightly, mumbling to herself, "Hmm...Bai Ye, just touch it...I heard it will grow bigger."

At this moment, Bai Ye blushed when she heard Lefiya's dream talking. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Fortunately, she was on guard outside. If she heard Lefiya's dream talking, she would probably be shocked to the point of overturning her cognition.

After all, Lefiya has always given people the image of a lively, cheerful and cute elf, but she also retains the purity and elegance of an elf. When such lewd words come out of her mouth, it is indeed difficult to connect her who is talking in her sleep with her normal self.

Bai Ye smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair that fell on her cheek, lifting it up. Before Bai Ye could react, Lefiya hugged his hand tightly again, wishing to bury her entire face in Bai Ye's arms.

"Bai Ye smells so good..." In the dream, Lefiya seemed to be doing something unspeakable to Bai Ye. The white silk wrapped around her legs rubbed and trembled, but then calmed down. At this moment, Bai Ye was even more silent.

He knew that Lefiya liked him, and he actually liked her too. After all, who wouldn't like an elf girl who only had eyes for him? But...what about the purity and elegance of elves? Why did Lefiya act so...so...

Bai Ye didn't want to use this word to describe it, but Lefiya's talking in her sleep and her behavior just now really made him speechless. In order to avoid being knocked down by Lefiya's sleepwalking, Bai Ye covered her with a blanket and left the tent.

There were two tents, one belonged to Bai Ye and the other belonged to Lefiya and Ming. But because Lefiya insisted and said that she wanted to stay in her own tent for a while, they let her do whatever she wanted. They just didn't expect this to happen.

"Ming, you go and rest first. Leave the rest of the night watch to me." Bai Ye's voice came, and Ming, who was wiping the blade at the moment, raised his head and looked at Bai Ye with an extremely serious expression.

"I'm fine, Bai Ye...Ge, okay, I can't change my words right now. I'm not tired, Bai Ye. Rather than resting...I want to practice and improve the martial arts I learned today."

Ming's expression was very serious. He gently waved the long sword in his hand, and his face showed an unsatisfied look.

It can be seen that after practicing swordsmanship with Bai Ye, she has made significant progress and also understood the essence of "swordsmanship", so that she can wield the blade more freely.

From this point, we can actually see Ming's pursuit and talent for martial arts, and his persistent perseverance. Coupled with this talent, it is inevitable that he will become a first-level adventurer in the future.

"The path of martial arts is endless, and swordsmanship is a never-ending existence. It is not something that can be fully comprehended overnight. The road is long and arduous, and I will continue to search for it."

"You are very talented in martial arts. I will do my best to teach you. As for what kind of sword intent and swordsmanship you can comprehend from the divine swordsmanship, it depends on you."

There was no hiding of Bai Ye's admiration for Ming in his tone. Ming was able to understand the essence of swordsmanship and constantly seek breakthroughs from it, which made Bai Ye sigh in his heart that I am not alone.

"I understand, Bai Ye." Ming's bright eyes revealed a brilliant luster in response to Bai Ye. It was obvious that she was inspired by Bai Ye's words at this moment.

If she wasn't resting now, she really wanted to reach the 19th floor to practice her martial arts. The wave perception also noticed her excitement. Bai Ye smiled in his heart and said nothing.

His vision of people is indeed good, and so is Mia's mother. After all, in the beginning, it was Mia's mother who made Bai Ye more determined to recruit people to be his companions in exploring the underground maze.

I can only say that she is worthy of being Mia's mother. She is particularly sharp in judging people. She values ​​not only a person's ability, but more importantly, talent, character, and mentality. In Mia's eyes, all three aspects of life are qualified.

"If you understand, go and rest first. You and Lefiya have been fighting since we entered the underground labyrinth. Although there are potions to replenish your stamina, fatigue needs to be relieved through rest. I will wake you up in the middle of the night, so go to sleep without worry."

Bai Ye also noticed the fatigue between Ming's brows at this moment, but she was still holding on. After Bai Ye said this, her expression became more hesitant.

Then, after seeing Bai Ye's serious face, he realized that if he continued to refuse, it would make Bai Ye "embarrassed", so he had to nod.

"Okay, Bai Ye, then remember to wake me up in the second half of the night so that we can take turns." Ming still did not forget to remind him before returning to the tent. Bai Ye smiled and nodded and waved his hand when he heard it.

"Then... let me plan it out carefully, how can I improve all my ability values ​​to all S in the middle area." Bai Ye murmured in a low voice, and the flow of wave power completely covered the area within a hundred meters.

Next, we need to make detailed plans for the next four days, proceeding on the basis of comprehensive exploration of one floor per day until we have fully understood the tree maze.

If four days are not enough, then six days will do. Six days should be enough for Bai Ye's three-person team to figure out the tree maze.

"Is it just... my illusion? The fluctuations in the thunderous aura seem to have changed. Could it be... that it can evolve into the breath of the Thunder God?"

Bai Ye raised his finger, and saw an unusual aura fluctuating in the blue lightning dancing at his fingertips.

That seems to contain a hint of [divinity]?

Chapter 96: The Indelible Bond Between Lefiya and Baiye

The next day, after the crystal daylight arrived on the 18th floor, Bai Ye and his three companions began a comprehensive exploration within the 24th floor, where there was also a place called the "granary".

The pale green walls, the phosphorescent ceiling and the ground beneath your feet gradually become uneven. The further you go, the more the maze loses its regular and neat shape, giving you the illusion that you have accidentally entered a cave.

As we moved forward, the phosphorescence of the ceiling gradually faded and lost its brightness. Instead, a hazy and mysterious green light flowed from the deep corners of the cave-like passage.

The [grain warehouse] was a spacious space. Even on the deeper floors, I had never seen such a wide void, with green quartz standing on the front.

A massive green crystal pillar reached the ceiling of the vast, dark cavern, merging into the wall behind it. Its twisted, ridged, crystallized surface was reminiscent of tree bark, and the entire pillar resembled a quartz tree, its radiant green light the very light of its blossoming crystal tree.

A transparent liquid oozes from the crystal trees, and the dripping sap gathers into a large pool of spring water near the roots. In order to lick this liquid, the "killer ants" and "purple moths" stick to the trees, while the "needle rabbits" stick out their tongues beside the spring to moisten their throats.

Ming was shocked by the scene in front of her. Obviously, she did not expect that there would be such an area in the second half of the middle level. Even though she had heard of it before, she was even more surprised when she saw it now.

"This is the food depot, a supply space given by the dungeon to the monsters." Bai Ye casually slashed with his sword to cut off the purple moth that attacked quietly, and then explained to Ming in a calm tone the knowledge points about the second half of the middle level.

Over time, the monsters that emerge from the dungeon naturally grow hungry. Some of these monsters are said to hunt adventurers for food, or even to kill each other.

However, most monsters seem to fill their stomachs by consuming the liquid provided by the dungeon, the mother city. This spacious space is a source of nutrition for the monsters, and the name of the dungeon as a granary is indeed worthy of its name.

The three-person team formation is Bai Ye as the forward, Ming as the center back, and Lefiya as the defender. The responsibility of Ming and the center back is to replace Bai Ye's previous duties to protect Lefiya's safety and support Bai Ye at any time.

After entering the next area, the three-person team was attacked by monsters again. Bai Ye drew out the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand and instantly cut the crazy beetle into two pieces, but the monsters did not stop there. There were still many monsters coming forward stepping on the corpses.

It was a fierce battle, and the monsters were extremely ferocious. In addition to the crazy beetles, there were also dragonfly monsters and berg bears. All of these monsters were killed by Bai Ye's flash of sword, without any suspense.

Even though Bai Ye's level is only Lv2 now, his own strength has far exceeded this level, and is even more terrifying than the ordinary Lv3. This is why he has the confidence to explore the middle level.

Ming also noticed this, and looked at Bai Ye with a look of surprise that was hard to conceal. They were both Lv2, so why was there such a big gap?

However, the current situation did not give Ming a chance to think. The monster's continuous attacks had already left a gap. Ming also drew his sword and stepped forward to cut it off together with Bai Ye. The azure and crimson sword lights kept flashing.

Lefiya, who was protected in the middle, also looked serious. Then she activated the magic power in her body and released magic, intending to kill all the monsters in this area directly. If there were any remaining, they would be left to Bai Ye and Ming.

"O proud warriors, archers of the forest. With the advancing marauders before you, take up your bows. Answer the voice of your brethren, draw your arrows upon the strings, and kindle the flames, lights of the forest. At your bidding, let the elves' flaming arrows rain down upon the barbarians."

Fire javelins volley!

As she finished speaking, a scorching magic circle hovered above her head, as if countless flaming javelins emerged from the magic circle. The defense of the middle-level monsters was almost non-existent for Lefiya, and a large number of them were killed or injured in an instant.

"So powerful..." Ming was stunned after seeing this scene. This was the first time she saw such gorgeous magic, so dazzling, and she could clearly feel that Lefiya had achieved this without even using 70% of her strength.

Bai Ye was used to this. He shuttled through the falling fire javelins and killed all the remaining monsters. The sword energy continued to ripple, and Bai Ye's momentum was like a rainbow. From this point, we can see how well Bai Ye and Lefiya cooperated.

Ming also noticed this, but she was not discouraged. After all, this was the first time she, Bai Ye and Lefiya teamed up to fight, and they were still in a period of adjustment. Naturally, they had to slowly adapt and keep up with their battle rhythm.

However, the dungeon roared, determined not to let the prey escape. Even under the coverage of Lefiya's flaming javelin, a giant pig still appeared from the front.

"Fighting Wild Boar" is a large-scale monster with a body length of two meters. It broke through the wall of fire with the momentum of running, and chased Bai Ye and his companions with its hair standing up. The giant boar roared as if leading a group of beasts, followed by a group of bears and other monsters.

No wonder he was able to survive Lefiya's flaming javelin. It was indeed possible with such defensive power. Bai Ye quickly stepped forward, jumped over the lizardman in front of him, and stood right above the giant pig.

Kanze Masamune unsheathed his Iaijutsu, cutting the neck of the "Fighting Boar" in half. Blood gushed out, and as its huge body swayed and fell to the ground, Bai Ye landed on the ground with blood splattered all over his face.

The monsters behind him wanted to move forward, but they saw ice prisms rising from the ground before their eyes. The wave force continued to ripple, freezing their bodies directly and eventually shattering them into magic stones.

"Wave·Ice Blade Sword." A cold voice was heard, and the Guanshi Zhengzong in Bai Ye's hand was already emitting cold air. At this moment, the living being was a little stunned, with messy breathing entangled, looking at the pile of corpses, he gasped.

He wanted to go and support Bai Ye, but was gently stopped by Lefiya beside him: "Don't worry, trust Bai Ye, he can handle it." At this time, there were still some poisonous spores spread by poisonous mushrooms in front of his sight, flying all over the sky.

This is the battle deep in the middle layer, and also at the end of the middle layer. The intensity is self-evident. There are powerful monsters and environmental interference. Once this toxin invades the body, even high-level adventurers will find it difficult to resist.

At this moment, Ming truly witnessed the cruelty of the middle level, and understood why the guild staff had warned him so many times when he was learning about the deep knowledge of the middle level in the guild. It turned out that the danger of the middle level was so terrible.

After several hours of intense fighting, Ming took the water handed to her by Lefiya while breathing lightly. Compared to her slightly tired appearance, Bai Ye and Lefiya were already accustomed to this level of fighting.

If it was the previous Lefiya, she would probably be in the same situation now, but since she upgraded to Lv3 and followed her clan down to the battle on the 50th floor, she has obviously improved a lot, at least she is no longer the same as before.

"Let's take a break for now. The rhythm of battle takes time to get used to, and it won't happen overnight. There don't seem to be any monsters ahead. We can rest there for an hour and a half."

Bai Ye spread out his wave perception and realized that there were no monsters in front. He was secretly surprised that there was such a "safe area" on the 20th floor. It was really unexpected. He immediately spoke to Ming and Lefiya.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Bai Ye." Lefiya naturally had no objection, but Ming said with an apologetic and ashamed look: "Sorry, I..." But before she could say anything, Lefiya gently patted her shoulder.

"We are a team, companions to each other, so there's no need to talk about being a burden. Besides... fate, Bai Ye and I went through the same thing before. Just wait for you to get used to it."

Lefiya smiled like an angel and comforted him softly. Ming was touched at this moment and subconsciously looked at Bai Ye. He saw Bai Ye nodded slightly without leaving any trace, obviously agreeing with Lefiya's words.
