The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 134

Title: Amazoness Block the Path

In the middle of the 17th Floor, many three-way junctions began to appear.

As they walked through a cave-like corridor, the path underfoot merged with another, and the length and width of the corridor also increased significantly.

However, the openness of the terrain didn’t reduce the difficulty of the battle; instead, it increased it significantly.

The closer adventurers got to the depths of the 17th Floor, the stronger and more numerous the monsters born there became. The Minotaurs born here were much stronger than those encountered on the 15th Floor, and they often appeared.

As they continued to delve deeper, the corridors gradually merged into one, and the width of the cave also increased significantly.

Inside the vast cave, pressure surged from the path ahead, as if something terrifying awaited at the end of the corridor.

“Up ahead is the stone chamber where the Floor Boss is born.”

Line’s expression gradually grew serious, and she was clearly a bit afraid of the place at the end of the corridor ahead.

“I don’t know if a new Floor Boss has been born in the stone chamber now. If there is, with the strength of our team, it’s impossible to get through...”

Hoshiharu took out a map from his pocket and found that the words “extreme danger” were indeed marked at the last part of the cave on the 17th Floor.

Floor Boss.

Its official name is Monster Rex. It’s a special and powerful monster that only appears on certain Floors of the dungeon.

On the 17th Floor, there happens to be the first Floor Boss since entering the dungeon.

The strength of a Floor Boss is generally considered to be two levels higher than the monsters on that Floor. For example, most monsters on the 17th Floor are Level 2, so the Floor Boss on the 17th Floor would be Level 4.

There was no way their team could defeat a Level 4 Floor Boss.

“We can’t win even with Lefiya’s magic?”

Hoshiharu looked at Lefiya, who also had a troubled expression.

“Give me five minutes to cast quietly, no, three minutes...”

Lefiya groaned and didn’t seem confident.

Five minutes.

How could she be given that much time to cast a spell during a fight with a Floor Boss?

As the only frontliner in the team who could fight the monster up close, Hoshiharu could definitely tell that if the Floor Boss wanted to kill Lefiya, he would never be able to stop it.

“However, the Floor Boss on the 17th Floor should only appear every half month, right?”

“That’s true, but there’s no guarantee that there isn’t a resident Floor Boss inside right now.”

After the Floor Boss is knocked down once, the next one will be born after a certain period of time. Simply put, there’s a respawn time for the monster.

As for the Floor Boss on the 17th Floor, its respawn time is half a month. After being killed, the next one won’t appear until half a month later.

After all, there are so many adventurers entering the dungeon, and some will definitely think it’s a hindrance and take it down. Generally, the Floor Boss spends very little time alive and spends most of its time respawning.

“Let’s head back for today.”

Hoshiharu was a little reluctant. They were almost at the end. He didn’t expect to retreat here, but even if he was unwilling, he couldn’t risk his life.

After being with Line and Lefiya, they prepared to return.

They had been working on the 17th Floor all day, and it was almost evening before they could return.

“Aren’t there fewer adventurers?”

On the way back, Lefiya looked around in confusion.

Returning from the 17th Floor to the 16th Floor, besides them, there were no other adventurer groups at all. It was as if they were the only ones left in the entire dungeon, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

“After all, it’s already late, and usually, there are fewer adventurers coming and going around the 17th Floor.”

Low-level adventurers wouldn’t reach the middle floors, while high-level adventurers would sleep in the lower floors. Only Level 2 adventurers would wander around more than a dozen Floors.

Moreover, it takes more than an hour to return to the surface from the 17th Floor. Adventurers who wanted to return had already set off.

“What’s up, Hoshiharu?”

Line answered Lefiya’s question, but at some point, she suddenly realized that Hoshiharu in front had stopped. She thought a monster was coming and became nervous.

“I have a bad feeling.”

Hoshiharu rubbed his chin and focused on the stairs leading to the 15th Floor not far away.

“A bad feeling?”

“Are you hungry?”

“I’m not joking.”

After casually replying to Lefiya, Hoshiharu thought for a moment and turned to look at the two of them.

“You two wait here. I’ll go ahead to check the situation. I’ll be back soon.”

After saying this, before they could respond, he had already wrapped himself in a dark cloak and quickly stepped into the dark corridor.

“What should we do?”

“Since he said so, let’s wait for a bit. With his strength, there shouldn’t be any danger.”

❀❀❀

The 15th Floor.

The terrain here was still like a cave, and monsters like Minotaurs were born from time to time in the narrow corridor.

His strong intuition made him vaguely aware of malice, and Hoshiharu rushed towards the path leading to the 14th Floor.

A few minutes later.

As the path to the upper floor appeared, figures began to appear in front of Hoshiharu.

He stopped and didn’t immediately walk. Instead, he hid in the corner of the corridor. In the dim dungeon space, wearing a dark cloak, he was very inconspicuous.

“...Damn fat woman, it’s already late at night, and you still won’t let us go back and rest!”

“Please lower your voice, it would be terrible if she hears you.”

“But how can a new adventurer enter this deep place? Level 2 adventurers like us who have been adventurers for several years have to form teams to descend!”

“I heard there’s a Thousand Elf and a Lokolite around. They might have formed a team to gain experience.”

There were a few Level 2s.

They were all wearing hoods, and their faces were not clearly visible. They could only be recognized as women from their body shapes and voices.

On this scale, the problem should be solved with a little effort.

Hoshiharu weighed this in his mind.

*BUMPS*

Just as Hoshiharu was about to summon his Device, suddenly, the rocky ground beneath his feet began to tremble, as if a giant monster was gradually approaching.

“Hey, what are you yelling for? Please take this seriously!”

A figure over two meters tall emerged from another corridor, approaching several Amazonesses, and scolded them in a loud, rough voice.

“How can someone be so ugly?”

Hoshiharu was deeply shocked.

It was a large woman with an extremely broad and strong build, enough to remind one of a toad. Compared to Hoshiharu’s features, the only similarity they had was that she had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

“However, the sense of pressure is so strong, just like Tiona...”

Hoshiharu hid in the corner, not daring to move.

But in this way, his purpose was confirmed.

There was no doubt that they were here to find him.

The reason was still unknown, but Hoshiharu had reason to suspect that these Amazonesses coveted his looks. After all, no one could match him in terms of handsomeness, and he usually attracted low-quality bees and butterflies.

Suddenly, the sound of cracking stone walls echoed in Hoshiharu’s ears.

A large crack opened in the wall beside him, and the figure of a Minotaur appeared, about to rise.

“Who!”

A short black figure spun in this direction under the sound of a strong wind.

Hoshiharu: ???

If he was unlucky, he couldn’t blame anyone else.
