Chapter 154: Exploring The 41st Up Floor Together!

Exploring The 41st Up Floor Together!

-Somewhere on the 41st Floor-

..

Kiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaakkkk!!!!

Zubaats! Zubat!!

Gururu* shaking ground SFX

The giant monstrous long body, the bloody dried cracking skin.

A giant worm-like monster wriggling its body in pain, as it keeps struggling to try burying itself toward the sand dune.

Controlling the multiple Sword Qi that floating around my body, I incorporated the scattered sword Qi into one giant Sword Qi, moving it to nail the Giant wriggling worm monster down, thwarting it from burying itself in the desert.

Splatter!!!

Groooooooooo!!!!!!

It started howling a death throes as it continues jolting its humongous body in madness.

But it's not taking too long, for it gradually stops moving, and dies.

When you observe its giant body, you can see some of the wounds left behind from dagger slashes and numerous arrows stuck on it.

It clearly shows how the giant monster already has been through a rough battle before it died like this.

Just like how the other monster in the dungeon died, its body gradually disappeared and became a magic particle. 

Of course, the monster didn't forget to drop some loots for me.

[Still, on the 41st floor, the monster surely is different

Their HP actually quite a lot, considering they just a B rank monster]

Recalling how the Worm monster struggle before it died, I get this impression of the monster on the dungeon floor, here.

[Scorpion, desert ants, and now this worm, the monster here sure is full of poison]

At my side, Anna suddenly said.

She put down her bow and checking the surrounding area vigilantly.

Hearing her complain, I can't for agreeing with her more.

High HP aside, all of the monsters we met in this desert always have some poison skill in them.

When I appraise them, they just have around 2 or 3 skills( leaving the Dungeon Monster skill aside), but most of them always have a poisonous effect on them.

The Sand Worm that we just killed for example.

It only has 2 skills, but one of them is a poisonous one.

Maybe sharing the status of the monsters we met will help you guys understand it better.

================================================

I'm sure without explaining the skill in detail, you guys somehow get the gist of what kind of skill was that by just its name.

Different from the Forest Of Desire's monster that somehow possessed a lot of troublesome skills, the monster we met so far, here in this desert, has a characteristic of superior HP status but possessing fewer skills.

If I try to compare which one was more troublesome to deal with, maybe the Forest of desire slightly harder to deal with than this floor.

Of course, it's just my personal perspective

[Uuuu it's very hot here

Gulp gulp gulp*

Huah~

I can't stop drinking]

On the other side of Anna, Anni started to take her drink bottle from her storage bag and gulping the water in it like there's no tomorrow.

Looking at her who was doing this, maybe this floor is harder than what I thought if I considering the one who did the exploration is ordinary people.

[Don't lower your guard down, you guys maybe belittle this desert as your power is too overwhelming for the monster here.

However, you must know the dreadfulness of the 41st-60th floor is not just its monster.

After all, people didn't call these floors the Hell Desert for no reason.

If I calculate the time we start exploring this floor, maybe we just exploring one percent of the area of this 41st floor]

A brown-skinned and red-haired woman with a seductive body, she has appeared beside Anni like a shadow, and suddenly warned us.

[What?!! It's just one percent? We are walking for 3 hours already you know? Alexa, Are you sure you're not exaggerating it a bit?!]

Just as Alexa finished informing us about the dreadfulness of this floor, Anna who was standing on my side started to gasp and trying to retort her with an unbelievable expression plastered on her pretty face.

Huh?

What? Did you ask why Alexa is with me right now?

Ah

Maybe I should tell you guys briefly about how we ended up in this situation right now.

Before we teleporting here, just as I and the Twin head toward the Dungeon Crystal to climb toward the 21st floor, we accidentally met Alexa who headed in the same direction as us.

At first, I hesitated about to greet her or not

But Anna who was with me at that time, abruptly calling Alexa and approaching her with a bright face, making my time to think of my hesitation vanished, exactly at that moment in an instant.

It's not like I tried to evade her on purpose or anything.

But, it's just I didn't know what kind of face should I make when facing her, after thinking about the one-night stand we did in the past.

In short, it's just me who was bad at dealing with the awkwardness between us.

Anyway, to my surprise, she accepted Anna proposal to go exploring the 41st floor together with us( Of course, she asked for my confirmation first, and because I can't make it obvious that I try to evade her purposely, I couldn't help to agree with Anna proposal with taking Alexa together with us).

In the end, when she saw me, she acted like usual.

As expected, she's very mature.

Looking at her who acted normal around me, in the end, I decided to not dwell on that hot experience and tried to act normally as I can when I talk with her.

Hence, we ended up with the current situation right now.

Adding Alexa as a member of our party.

Anyway, since Alexa was quite experienced with adventuring and exploring this dungeon, I think it's not too bad to bring her with us like this.

Leaving this story aside, hearing Alexa information about how vast the floor here, somehow it's quite intrigued me a bit.

[Alexa, is this also the reason why our group was teleported randomly at the edge of the floor here?]

Yes, unlike the 1st to 40th floor that always teleported us at the same place to what other experienced challenger before us at, the 41st and the upper floor will transport us at the random place somewhere at the edge of the area of that respective floor.

[Umu.

Different from the lower floor that required us to go in a straight line to get into the Dungeon crystal, and conquered the floor, here on the 41st and upper floor, required us to go to the center area to find the Dungeon crystal to count as conquered it.

That's why, just like what I told you before, conquering this floor is not that easy as finding the right direction here is very hard.

look at your surrounding, all we can see is just sand dunes]

Finished her words, Alexa started turning her head to observe the surrounding with vigilance.

Seeing her like this, I also began to observe my surrounding area.

Closing my eyes and heightened my sense, I try to scan the area around me as vast as I can.

After spending about 30 seconds, I reached the limit of what my sense could perceive and exhaled a deep breath as I started to retain my sense back to normal.

Just like what Alexa said, all I could perceive is just sand dunes, nothing more.

Normally, in a situation like this, maybe people can use some knowledge about astronomy, to read the star and finding the direction.

But since this is a dungeon to begin with, I doubt that we can do the same way simply like them.

After all, the sky in this dungeon was just an artificial one and if by chance the position of the star here is copied the outside world, it will be also useless since I didn't know anything about reading the position of the star or something similar like that.

And don't forget that this is a different world.

The universe here is very different from my previous world, so even if I know it, it will be useless if I use the one from Earth.

[Maa.. even if by chance we got trapped here for a month, I think we will be fine.

I have quite a lot of supplies in my inventory after all~]

These words suddenly leaked out from my mouth subconsciously after I realize that the exploration in this desert will take quite some time before we can conquer this floor.

Hearing my pessimistic words, Anna and Anni just shrugged their shoulder as it was couldn't be helped.

However, a different reaction coming from Alexa.

She, who has just heard my mumbling, turning her head and looking at me weirdly.

She gazed at me for a while and realized something.

[Alex, by chance, is this your first time exploring the dungeon?]

[Yes, this is my first time here, why?]

Hearing my reply she didn't directly answer me but gazing at me and the twin curiously.

After a while, she began to speak.

[I wonder how you guys can be ridiculously strong like this even before experiencing conquering any sort of dungeon

Anyway, you don't have to worry too much about being lost here, even though I look like this, I'm quite knowledgeable about finding the direction in the desert.

I used to live in one after all]

After hearing Alexa's reassuring statement, I and the twin looking at her in surprise.

This is a very pleasant surprise for us!

I think I should thank Anna for bringing Alexa to our party later.

But the latter part about her used to live in the desert was slightly pique my interest.

'come to think of it, her brown exotic skin is very unusual for people living in the western continent here I wonder if there's some story behind it that connecting with her experience living in the desert?'
