Arriving at the 18th floor in one breath was also the end of this journey.

Everyone planned to rest here for half a day before going back.

The location for the garrison was chosen in an open space outside the town of Rivera.

The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, perfect for picnics.

The adventurers set up fires one after another and took out dry food from the packages and put them on top to bake.

Lu Ye and his group also prepared lunch.

In addition to fried potato balls, braised meat jerky and dried fruits, there are also some leftover foods from the morning that Miss Seele gave.

After having lunch and agreeing on a gathering time, the adventurers dispersed.

The eighteenth floor is a safe floor with very few monsters, so many adventurers are ready to explore the surrounding area. Some people want to join in the fun in Rivera Town, including Violet and Esdeath.

exception.

The town of Rivera still retains its unique lively atmosphere.

It seems that the Freya Familia successfully repelled those red-eyed monsters and saved this town that was constantly destroyed and rebuilt.

Bell fell in love with a dagger in a weapons store on the street and was eager to try it.

Following Lu Ye these days, he has also saved a lot of money, thinking about buying an extra weapon as a backup.

But when I asked about the price, I was shocked, and the corners of my mouth seemed to be twitching.

A short knife... actually sold for 100,000 faris!?

Bell wondered if his ears had heard it wrong.

After Lu Ye's explanation, he understood the rules of this town.,

Here, the prices of weapons, props, food and other items are several times more expensive than normal prices.

Since it is not easy to secure supplies in dungeons, things can be sold no matter how high the price is.

It is difficult to supply drinking water, food and other supplies in a closed underground maze, so the people of Rivera have decided that adventurers cannot carry too many props on hand, so they do this business.

But facing the seller's lion's mouth, the adventurers will not be slaughtered obediently. Of course, they must bargain hard until they can accept it. Therefore, the most common sound on the street is not shouting, but bargaining.

sound.

The lowest transaction price that Lu Ye and his party had seen was about 8,000 Farley for a panacea.

In Orario, 10,000 mana can buy five or six ordinary-quality elixirs. Even after excluding the freight and cost of sending the goods to the dungeon, the sellers here still make a lot of money. It is said that a bottle of wine here costs

The price is just over eight times the price above.

Not worth the money and nothing worth buying.

Suddenly, Violet pulled Lu Ye's sleeve.

"Um...I want to take a bath."

"bath?"

"Well, there's sweat on my body and it's sticky and uncomfortable." Violet said in a low voice.

It's no wonder that she also killed monsters on the way here. On the surface, she seemed to be hunting monsters to obtain magic stones, but in reality she was volunteering to protect the safety of those adventurers.

"Speaking of which, there are accommodations nearby, right?" Esdeath turned his attention to the wooden houses, with signs like "hotel" written on them. "There are water sources around the town, and better hotels.

There should be shower facilities inside.”

"But you will be ripped off, right?" Bell was a little uneasy. After what happened just now, he knew that the prices here were not generally high.

"The price is not a problem, the problem is that I may not have that much money with me," Lu Ye said.

When entering a dungeon, no one will carry a large amount of money with them. Although there is a "storage space" ability, the space is not large. After placing the Immortal Slash and Silver Dancer, it cannot accommodate a large amount of money.

cash.

Esdeath and Violet didn't have any money on them, so they kept it in their room.

Neither of them have much interest in money.

The former is used to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, while the latter is simply ignorant.

After I went to the hotel to inquire about it and confirmed the price, I couldn’t afford it.

"Well... I have a few words on my body." Bernard said slowly, "If you don't mind..."

"No need," Lu Ye said suddenly, "I know a good place."

…

Surrounded by woods and crystals, the head is completely covered by the branches and leaves of huge trees. The light shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled shadows. Grass and blue crystals grow in the gaps between the rocks, shining brightly.

The sound of flowing water filled my ears.

What comes into view is a large waterfall with a height of about ten meters.

Perhaps because of the impact of the water flow, a pool seven or eight meters wide and more than one meter deep was formed below the waterfall.

The pool is crystal clear and you can occasionally see fish swimming in it.

Fine water droplets fly like mist, bringing cool water vapor. The touch of water droplets that gently moistens the skin makes people feel a little itchy.

"Just wash it here, I will help look around from the outside," Lu Ye said.

This is the place he discovered when he was working with the Freya Familia before.

Although I have never been here on purpose, I heard the sound of running water here when I was walking nearby, and I deduced that there might be a waterfall or pool in the forest.

"Well, I'm done."

Esdeath kissed him gently on the forehead as a reward for being a guard.

Not to be outdone, Violet left a soft touch on Lu Ye's cheek.

Afterwards, Lu Ye came to the area around the waterfall to make sure no one came close to it.

The waterfall is surrounded by towering cliffs and has only one entrance and exit, making it relatively simple to guard.

Bell was not with him.

When he arrived at the 18th floor for the first time, the boy excitedly went to explore other places and made an agreement with Lu Ye to come back in half an hour.

Girls take longer to take a shower.

Listening to the laughter mixed with the sound of water behind him, Lu Ye smiled slightly and had no intention of going back to look, and continued to watch intently.

Just to be sure, he also took out a heartbeat detector.

The scanning line rotates around and around, showing signs of life around it.

Although Violet's perception ability is good, she and Esdeath were having fun playing in the water, so someone had to help them pay attention to their safety. Just because there are fewer monsters on the 18th floor does not mean there are no monsters.

There were a lot of heartbeats around, but except for the two girls, they were all relatively weak. They were not human heartbeats, but probably small animals and fish that lived in the forest.

But there was a spot of light that caught his attention. Its heartbeat was weaker than that of Violet and Esdeath. It was not like a human being, but it was stronger than that of other creatures. The most important thing was that it was right behind.

Somewhere, motionless.

Is it a monster?

To be cautious, Lu Ye raised his voice and asked about the situation.

The answer I received was that there was no difference.

Both of them said this, and Lu Ye just waited and watched.

If it's not a human being, it's probably a beast or a monster.

But whether it is a beast or a monster, the stronger the strength, the stronger the blood supply capacity of the heart, and the more powerful the beating.

What threat could a guy with such a weak heartbeat pose to Violet and Esdeath?

It can't be that humans and monsters merge and then evolve into a new species, right?

Lu Ye was thinking wildly while focusing on the waterfall behind him.

…

The other side.

Violet and Esdeath were having fun,

Not to mention the former, Esdeath also has a child at heart.

Water splashed on each other's bodies, and the two girls' bodies were beautiful and charming.

Beautiful wet hair, skin as warm as jade, the water licking their bodies, flowing down their slender necks to their slender waists, just looking at this scene is pleasing to the eye, like a lake in a fairy tale

Like a fairy.

After playing for a while, the two began to wash their bodies carefully.

Their fingers brushed against each other's smooth skin, feeling like silk.

"Sister, you are so beautiful." Violet said while gently rubbing Esdeath's gentle shoulders.
