"Xue'er, what are you doing down here?"
"Let's go on an adventure with my brother!"
Luo Fan was a little speechless, but being with the little girl wasn't a problem, it just made things a bit slower.
Soon, the two continued to venture deeper into the cave, encountering many magical beasts around level 20. Luo Fan ignored them and rushed towards the fourth level.
They broke through the ice-sealed entrance and ran inside.
Compared to the first three levels, the fourth level is much more open, and the monsters you see are more densely packed than on the previous levels, and their levels are all above 25.
"Xue'er, let's fight monsters here. I also brought a magic bag this time, I'll get you some snacks."
"Um."
Wherever the two pets went, countless ice wolves, ice scorpions, and ice snakes suffered, their blood sucked and cores dug out, leaving behind a trail of corpses. The chilly air was thickened by the stench of blood.
Then push all the way to the fifth floor, forging ahead relentlessly.
After absorbing a large amount of ice-type blood, Luo Fan found that his ice resistance had increased significantly, and even the mucus contained a trace of cold poison. However, the excessive amount of ice element mixed in made him somewhat uncomfortable.
After enduring several ice spikes from the ice wolf, he found that his body could withstand them completely. However, by transforming himself into an ice spike, he could easily pierce through the ice wolf's fur and suck its blood, clearly adopting a strategy of using battle to sustain battle.
Xiaoxue practiced her Ice Explosion spell, unleashing her magic power at the ice scorpions in the shadows. Explosions echoed one after another, and a strong smell of blood spread everywhere.
The two guys were having so much fun that they almost forgot where they were.
The lingering stench of blood quickly attracted more magical beasts from the fifth floor. Even the Ice Scorpion King, hiding in the shadows, was startled by the explosion. Seemingly sensing the blood of its fallen comrades, its tail emitted a low, buzzing sound.
Luo Fan looked around and suddenly realized that there were no other magical beasts in sight on the large open space in front of him.
"What's going on? Xue'er, be careful, something's strange here."
"Hmm, the ice element has become a bit volatile."
"Retreat quickly! A lot of monsters are rushing over! Xue'er, ice wall!" Luo Fan jumped onto the Snow Maiden and retreated quickly, while directing her to leave several ice walls in a narrow space.
"Damn it, I feel like I've stirred up a hornet's nest!" Luo Fan complained, and he and Xiao Xue quickly fled.
"Brother Fan, will everything be alright?"
"I don't know, let's go outside first and talk about it."
On the fourth floor, there were monster corpses everywhere, and the Ice Scorpion became even more agitated.
Luo Fan and the others did not stop and continued to flee towards the third level. The Snow Woman swung her legs and ran like the wind, gliding across the ice as if it were flat ground.
However, the pursuing ice scorpions showed no sign of stopping and quickly reached the fourth and third levels, breaking through the ice walls set up by Luo Fan and his companions.
"Why can't I shake them off!" Luo Fan was a bit overwhelmed looking at the scorpions following him. But when he saw that the scorpions in front of him were all around level 25 and the cave entrance was narrowing, he had a suicidal thought.
"Xue'er, stop! We're going to fight back!" Standing at the entrance to the second level, Luo Fan quickly notified Ellie, who was nearby, and told them to come over immediately.
"So much, is that enough?" Xiaoxue used her ice wall spell again, blocking most of the cave.
"Let's try it out first. I'll focus on killing, and you use Ice Blast. Let's see how many we can kill!"
"Okay, whatever you say."
They quickly sprang into action.
When Ellie arrived, she found only countless ice scorpion corpses. Through the ice wall, even more were devouring the ice.
"Damn, so many level 30 ice scorpions?" As soon as Kerry ran over, he realized something was wrong. He immediately summoned a snowman and used a blizzard to block the attacking ice scorpions, but the effect was rather underwhelming.
The butler then arrived and used several freezing spells to completely seal the cave entrance.
"Thank goodness, I just don't know what will happen at the other entrances." Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, various sounds came from other parts of the second floor.
"Retreat immediately! A riot has broken out in the underground city, and a large number of ice scorpions have emerged!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the butler dealt with the few who had slipped through the net and hurriedly led everyone away.
"Luo Fan, what exactly did you do to make such a big fuss?" Ellie asked as she ran.
"Hehe, I only killed a few magical beasts. Those guys on the fifth floor are too stingy!"
"What? You've all made it to the fifth floor?" Ellie didn't know what to say. Her pets were incredibly bold.
"It was a real surprise. I didn't expect the monsters on the fourth floor to be so weak. I just went down without even realizing it." Luo Fan was a little embarrassed.
Back near the lake, Luo Fan noticed many adventurers from the Duke's mansion standing guard nearby, their expressions serious. It wasn't until the butler appeared that many people gathered around.
"How is the situation?"
"Those exits have been temporarily blocked with ice, but I don't think it will last long. Those ice scorpions are too crazy."
Are there any casualties?
"No, everyone realized something was wrong and decisively chose to retreat."
"That's good. All those below the high-level professions, go out and keep watch. The rest of you, stay with me and suppress the riot at the cave entrance."
Just as Carey was about to leave with the others, the butler stopped him.
"Young Master, you should get involved too. This might just be the opportunity for you to break through."
"Really? Then I'll stay." Kerry, who had been puffing out his cheeks, broke into a big smile.
“Uncle Butler, we’re staying too!” Daisy retorted. “My little Xue is very strong.”
"It's very strong. I guess the culprit that attracted these guys is your pet!" The butler couldn't help but complain in his heart, but still nodded and assigned the girls a slightly off-center cave entrance.
Before long, the moving ice scorpions could be seen through the ice wall.
The butler was somewhat stunned when he glanced at Daisy and her group in the distance; they had actually removed a significant portion of the ice wall!
What happened next made his nerves go numb. These little guys, do they have to be so incredibly powerful!
Upon arriving at their assigned cave, Xiaoxue, under Luo Fan's guidance, chipped away at many of the ice walls, much to the astonishment of the assisting adventurers.
Then, Ellie unleashed Shadow Swamp and followed up with Ghostly Entanglement, allowing Xiaoxue to control the cave entrance and release several Ice Scorpions. Afterward, Luo Fan spat out a lot of slime to weaken the opponent's defenses, allowing Xiaoxue to block it again.
Several ice scorpions around level 25 emerged, bound by dark magic, and began to be attacked by magic and weapons.
After eliminating this wave, another wave will appear, and the ice scorpions' defenses have been significantly weakened by the corrosive slime.
The assisting adventurers were also exhausted, repeatedly performing the same actions, and soon countless ice scorpion corpses piled up beside them.
At the other cave entrances, the butler, working with Kerry, killed several. The remaining caves were blocked by earth magic and are still being reinforced.
In comparison, the difference is obvious.
Many unemployed martial arts instructors also gathered around Daisy's side, creating a shift system.
"Haha~, that's great! Snowball has finally leveled up!" Just now, Kerry commanded his pet to kill a level 31 Ice Scorpion, and Snowman's level finally reached 31.
He himself sensed the restlessness of his own magic power, and he was about to break through.
"Daisy, your big brother is a genius! I'm finally about to advance to intermediate mage!"
As soon as he turned around to look in that direction, Kerry froze.
So many ice scorpions! So many people!
What happened? Why did they all go to Daisy's place?
After seeing it clearly, Kerry sat down on the ground again, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
The younger sister stood in a conspicuous spot, coordinating with Xiaoxue to unleash wave after wave of ice scorpions. Ellie, along with the others, cast binding spells, and then wave after wave of adventurers took turns attacking, easily killing the immobilized ice scorpions.
And then there were those corpses piled up like a small mountain; Kerry was completely numb.
"Young Master, why don't you go help out over there?" the butler kindly suggested, noting that things were much more efficient over there.
"Oh, I'll go over there now." Putting aside all other thoughts, Kerry rushed over; he wanted to experience that feeling of harvest too.
