Chapter 367 "Tenth Floor"

Midnight Maze, tenth level.

This is the bottom level of the Polar Night Maze and also the top of this inverted pyramid-shaped wonderland.

Its area is the smallest among the ten floors of the Polar Night Maze, but it is equivalent to the area of ​​Longxin District in the center of Tianfeng City.

This amount of land is more than enough for human beings and can easily accommodate millions or even tens of millions of people.

In a place like this, even phantom demons should be able to be accommodated.

However, the tenth floor is different from the other nine floors. There are no phantom demons everywhere, nor are there faint roars. There is only incomparable silence and depression.

The only thing that is similar here to the other floors is the strong demonic aura that fills the air.

Compared with the other nine floors, that demonic nature is not only not inferior, but even far superior.

In such a place, let alone ordinary people, even ordinary professionals, if their strength is too low, will be affected mentally and go crazy and out of control.

This alone makes this the scariest place in the entire polar night maze.

But today, there are many people here.

I saw that in a remote corner of the tenth floor, a camp appeared here as if it had risen from the ground.

There are many tents and bonfires here. Fully armed professionals are moving around in them, either patrolling or on guard. It looks like a military camp, filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

"Is that the camp set up by Sister Xu's team?"

Feng Qing'er could see from afar the camp which was quite large and could accommodate at least hundreds of people.

"Yes, that's it."

Mu Yan took a look at the map displayed on the terminal and confirmed that the camp was her and his group's destination.

"Captain Xu and his team should have arrived a day earlier than us and set up camp here as a gathering place."

Chi Qian said this thoughtfully.

"is that so?"

Tong Xinyao was stunned.

The four girls gathered around Su Ming, as if supporting Su Ming, and came to the corner of the tenth floor.

Su Ming stared at the camp, then looked away after a while.

"Let's go." Su Ming said, "It's time to help others do some work."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and their faces became serious.

I gained a lot during these few days in the Polar Night Maze.

Even for Chi Qian and others who had never seen the Purple Snow Essence directly, the gains they had seen from the team activities in the past few days were still amazing.

Now, all the gains of the entire team are stored in Su Ming’s golden finger backpack.

As long as they return to Tianfeng City with these gains, this time they will truly return with a full load.

But this does not come without cost.

In order to enter the Midnight Maze, Su Ming accepted Xu Xiayan's employment.

Next, they have to help "Summer Chaser" complete the mission.

SS-level difficulty is an extremely high-level task that can affect the future of a base city to a certain extent.

For this mission, Xu Xiayan did not even plan to rely on the strength of the "Summer Chasing Smoke" team alone to carry out the attack. He paid a huge price, prepared for more than half a year, and finally hired a total of eleven teams.

Among them, there are even A-level teams such as "Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose", whose strength should not be underestimated.

After gathering such a professional team alliance, what exactly is the next task they will face?

Thinking of this, Chi Qian and others who had hit a wall in an S-level mission and were almost wiped out couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

Su Ming, on the contrary, looked indifferent, as if he was not about to face an extremely difficult SS-level task, but an E-level task that could not be more ordinary.

Seeing him like this, Chi Qian and others couldn't help but relax.

"Don't think too much."

Su Ming was naturally observing his team members. Looking at their eyes and expressions, he chuckled and spoke like this.

"Don't forget, there are still Hai'er and I."

Hearing this, the girls nodded and relaxed a little.

Naturally, everyone has great confidence in Su Ming and Hai'er's abilities.

With Su Ming and Hai'er in charge, it is undoubtedly much more reassuring.

Moreover, if it really doesn't work, just retreat.

Su Ming had already talked to the girls and told them that if they just wanted to escape, he was confident that he could do so under any circumstances.

Thinking of these kinds of guarantees, Chi Qian and others undoubtedly felt more confident.

Under such circumstances, Su Ming took the girls to the camp.

There is only one entrance to the campsite.

At this moment, a wooden fence was built around the main camp, and it was coated with some kind of powder that could drive away phantom demons, making the wooden fence flash with fluorescent light.

Su Ming and his party arrived here and were stopped at the entrance by two professionals in charge of guarding the gate.

They are members of "Summer Chasing Smoke", and their strength has reached the three-star limit. One step further will reach the inhuman realm of advanced professionals.

However, it is not easy to take this step.

Otherwise, they would not have been sent here to guard the gate.

"I am Su Ming from 'Azure Mercury'."

Su Ming revealed his identity.

The two professionals looked at each other, confirmed it with the terminal first, and then went down to report. After obtaining permission from the higher-ups, they let the people from "Azure Mercury" into the camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, a man walked out of the largest tent in the center of the camp to greet Su Ming and others.

"Welcome to the tenth floor, everyone from 'Azure Mercury'."

The person who came here to greet them was not Xu Xiayan, but Wang Di.

The deputy leader of "Summer Chasing Smoke" came in person to greet Su Ming and others, which surprised everyone.

"You guys came pretty quickly." Su Ming first said politely, "We just arrived, and you guys have even set up the camp. It seems like you got here quite a while in advance."

In response to Su Ming's courtesy, Wang Di also smiled slightly.

"After all, we, 'Summer Chasing Smoke', are the initiators this time. As the initiators, we naturally have to solve all the trivial matters in advance so that everyone can have a place to rest before the mission strategy begins."

Wang Di's speech was impeccable, fully demonstrating the style of the host.

It’s a pity that Su Ming and others don’t care about this at all.

"Where's Captain Xu?"

Chi Qian asked as he looked around.

"We are currently finalizing the detailed plans and preparations for the future." Wang Di looked more serious and said, "Everyone can go and rest first. When all the teams are present or the agreed time has arrived, we will have to start the strategy."

Chi Qian nodded to show that he understood.

Feng Qing'er, on the other hand, asked curiously, "How many teams haven't arrived yet?"

"There are still quite a few." Wang Di said with a wry smile: "Currently, only two B-level teams and your 'Azure Mercury' have arrived at the camp. The rest have not shown any signs of arriving yet."

"So few?" Mu Yan asked in confusion, "Even the people from 'Jinlongyu Pavilion' and 'Iron Rose' haven't arrived yet?"

"Not yet." Wang Di shook his head and said, "It's normal that they haven't arrived yet."

"Huh?" Tong Xinyao was stunned by what Wang Di said.

Is it normal that people from 'Jinlongyuge' and 'Iron Rose' haven't arrived?

Why is this? If it was normal for those B-level teams not to arrive, then Tong Xinyao could understand it.

After all, this is the deepest part of the Polar Night Maze. If you want to get here through nine floors, it is impossible without a strong team, not to mention that you have to arrive within seven days.

"Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose" are both A-level teams. Even if their strength is not as good as "Summer Chasing Smoke", they are definitely stronger than those B-level teams.

Logically speaking, these two A-level teams should have arrived here earlier than other teams.

Now, Wang Di said that it was normal that they had not arrived, so it was no wonder that Tong Xinyao felt strange.

Of course, Tong Xinyao didn’t understand, but everyone else did.

Chi Qian explained to Tong Xinyao.

"Large teams like 'Jinlongyu Pavilion' and 'Iron Rose' are quite powerful and large in scale. In order to maximize their gains, they will most likely act in batches."

Act in batches so you can maximize your gains.

Separate the team members and let them plunder and collect resources on their own, so that the resource acquisition rate can be improved with extremely high efficiency.

If it were another team, they might have to worry about the problem of dispersing their forces and taking on great risks.

But "Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose" are different. As A-level teams, each of them has senior professionals who are no less than first-class families. At least in the first few floors, there is no need to worry about dispersing the combat power and encountering danger.

After reaching a certain depth, gather all your forces and act together.

In this way, the harvest efficiency is the highest.

Moreover, "the bigger the team is, the stronger it is, and the bigger its appetite will be." Mu Yan said calmly, "For a large team like theirs, every extra second to collect resources and every extra gain are what they must strive for."

In other words, precisely because "Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose" are A-level teams, they want to collect as many natural treasures as possible before the gathering time to increase their harvest.

Therefore, those large teams will definitely squeeze the time and wait until the last minute to gather.

Therefore, Wang Di said that it was normal for big teams like "Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose" to not arrive yet.

On the contrary, those B-level teams are not as strong and large as behemoths like "Jinlong Yuge" and "Iron Rose". It would be dangerous for them to continue staying in places like the ninth floor, so they just want to gather together as soon as possible.

This resulted in only two B-level teams arriving here, while the rest of the teams have not yet arrived.

"I see."

Tong Xinyao and Feng Qing'er finally understood.

"Everyone, go take a break first."

Wang Di then called everyone to go to the rest tent.
