Genderbending (Continued)
The worm swarm attack caused the Familia to lose about seventy or eighty of the magic swords they had purchased at great expense.
The archers had almost run out of arrows.
These are all fine!
The most serious issue is the damage to the weapons of these first-season adventurers!
Finn's "Spear of Dia", Gareth's "Majestic Great Axe", Tione's "Soluas", and Tiona's "Urga".
Just rebuilding these four Tier 1 weapons would require at least 500 million in Valis.
Adding in all the other miscellaneous expenses, the Loki Familia's expedition will cost at least 800 million Valis.
When Tiona mentioned this, Ais looked at her "Despair Sword" with some melancholy, even though her weapon hadn't been completely melted.
However, due to this overuse, based on her extensive experience, the repair costs alone would be less than 10 million Valis to leave the "Gobnu Familia".
Moreover, she already had 30 million yuan in outstanding debts. She had hoped to use this expedition to pay off her debts in one fell swoop, but instead, she made matters worse by adding another debt to her already heavy burden.
"Next time I go on an expedition, I'll bring a professional blacksmith with me, and I'll also prepare weapons with indestructible properties!"
Finn, who had been at the front of the group, joined the discussion. The Familia had now completely entered the lower levels.
He no longer needs to be in charge of commanding the troops; all the work can be handed over to the hardworking Raul.
"This feels like another huge expense. Familia won't go bankrupt!"
William also joined the discussion, but he was much more relaxed than the others who were troubled by the lack of funds.
He didn't make much money this time, but he also didn't suffer any losses.
"Bankruptcy is definitely out of the question! But if the next expedition doesn't yield any results, then it's really hard to say!"
Finn shrugged, but his expression didn't look very relaxed.
Everyone stopped talking. All the adventurers of the Loki Familia looked at the scene before them and felt an urge to burst out laughing.
Awoooooo!
The deep roar reverberated throughout the entire grotto.
It was a monster resembling a human, with copper-colored skin, muscular shoulders, and arms that bulged like thick ropes.
Their eyes, blood-red like jade and radiating murderous intent, left hoof-shaped tracks on the ground with each step they took.
This is one of the representative monsters of the upper realm, the Minotaur.
However, these monsters are only those who dominate the upper levels, and most of them have stats around level 2, with a few reaching level 3.
This is the reason why the members of the "Loki Familia" have such strange expressions; a group of level 2 monsters have surrounded them.
"There's no other way! Everyone, let's go!"
Finn shook his head with a wry smile, and the other members raised their weapons, ready to attack.
One of the Minotaur facing William seemed to finally realize that the adventurers they had arrogantly surrounded were actually monsters far more terrifying than themselves.
Turning around, starting, and running away—this series of movements was as if it had practiced it a million times, incredibly skillful.
The roars they let out seemed to remind their companions, and all the monsters, as if their movements had been copied by a video camera, turned around in unison and fled!
The unexpected turn of events left even the adventurers, who were already sharpening their swords, completely stunned!
"Everyone, hurry and chase after them!"
Riveria, who remained calm even when the worm swarm attacked, wavered for the first time and shouted before Finn could give the order.
William had been continuously releasing White Lightning from his fingertips long before Riveria made his announcement, but there were just too many Minotaur. He felt like he had already fired thirty or forty times, but a few lucky monsters still managed to reach the passage leading to the upper level.
William, Ais, Bete, and the others immediately broke away from the main group of the Familia and quickly entered the passage to pursue the Minotaur!
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Minotaur are seen as lambs to the slaughter by the Loki Familia. They usually only roam the middle levels, but if they were to venture to the upper levels, it would be a complete disaster for level 1 adventurers.
While it can't be considered the responsibility of the "Loki Familia," they would still feel some guilt if someone actually lost their life because of it.
After all, those people are fellow adventurers, and they wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand if they could.
"Brother Bete, where is it?"
William, Ais, and Bete stood together at a fork in the road on the seventh floor.
As for the Amazon sisters, they are already chasing the other "Minotaur" on the eighth floor.
Bete, being an orc, had an extremely keen sense of smell; he only twitched the tip of his nose slightly!
"These three!"
Bete, who instantly sensed the Minotaur's escape route, pointed to three of the cave entrances.
"That's perfect. We'll each take our turn and finish quickly. Once I'm done, I'll go straight back to take a shower!"
No sooner had Bete finished speaking than William stepped on lightning, his entire body transforming into a blur as he flew towards the cave entrance.
Fifth floor
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
A girl with pure white hair and eyes like rubies is running for her life.
Pursuing her was William's target, "The Minotaur," whom he had already chased for two floors.
"What a lucky person!"
The large ox hooves were raised high, and the white-haired girl, forced back into the corner, closed her eyes in despair.
Next, this "Minotaur" only needs to stomp its hoof hard and it can successfully pierce the stomach of a young girl.
The next moment!
Huh?
A thick flash of white light, and the murderous bull's head was instantly vaporized.
The remaining body of the minotaur also lost control, and the entire bull collapsed to its knees.
