Although they had met only a handful of times, every encounter with Xin Mang surprised Yang Yu with some unexpected gains, and he naturally had no reason to avoid her.

Rather, being able to meet her at this time, he could also inquire about the information on the Super Large Underground Maze.

As a Quasi-S Class adventurer, it was highly likely that she had come for the Super Large Underground Maze as well.

Dismounting from Lotcar's back, Yang Yu saluted Xin Mang and the young ladies following her with a military salute,

"Long time no see, Miss Xin Mang. And to the ladies of 'Baihua Binfen' as well."

"I really didn't expect to see you here. Are you on some kind of mission?"

Xin Mang swished her three fluffy tails, and suddenly, as if something occurred to her, her three tails and fox ears tensed and stood up together,

"Could it be that some humans have secretly infiltrated Wansheng Country, aiming to cause sabotage?

If that's the case, please don't be polite, command us as you see fit.

We, 'Baihua Binfen,' are willing to contribute our strength to the nation."

Yang Yu spread his hands helplessly, "But that's only possible once we're formally enlisted. I don't think the people up top would want to enlist you."

"You're right..." Frowning slightly, Xin Mang's face showed a touch of helplessness, "That's the only way I can repay my country for its protection.

So, what brings the Grand General here?"

After some thought, Yang Yu decided to lay out the situation honestly, especially emphasizing the importance of good equipment.

Xin Mang listened quietly, crossing her arms and nodding understandingly.

"Mhm, a good weapon can indeed add a significant edge to one's strength.

Before I formally met my beloved sword, I often worried that the sword blade might break if it struck something too hard and held back from giving it my all.

But with my beloved sword, everything changed.

Rare weapons are scarce and expensive, but they are still too fragile compared to weapons of Epic Level or above.

Unfortunately, you've used your achievements to acquire things for healing; it really wouldn't be easy to ask His Majesty.

It would be great if you could find equipment that would stay with you for a lifetime."

"Stay with you for a lifetime, isn't that an exaggeration..."

"Not at all.

I have plenty of interesting stories about this, which I could share with you someday—enough to talk for three days and nights.

Since you're out on vacation, I won't keep you any longer...

May we meet again by fate."

"Wait a second, weren't you and your team here to raid the Underground Maze?"

"Actually, we've already raided it once."

Xin Mang said with a smile,

"I believe I've mentioned it to you before.

We're also trying to make the leap from Quasi-S Class to S Class, and one of the necessary conditions to become an S Class is to independently raid a large maze.

While we were searching for a large maze to raid, we felt a strong wave of Magic Power.

That's why we temporarily changed our target to the nearby Super Large Underground Maze...

Your subordinates should also be able to sense the Magic Fluctuation emanating from the Super Large Underground Maze, right?

And that's how we were able to meet here."

"Did you mention going to raid a large maze?"

At the time, Yang Yu's attention was all on Artie Roosevelt and preparing for Wan Huawen, so he somewhat couldn't recall whether Xin Mang had mentioned something similar.

Xin Mang was pretty much in the same boat, unsure whether she had mentioned it to Yang Yu. She had a fuzzy recollection of saying it but couldn't exactly remember.

"Let's not worry about whether it's been mentioned or not.

In short, after all that painstaking preparation, it turned out we overestimated our own strength..."

"In the end, we couldn't break through that maze, but we were lucky enough to find quite a few good items.

We plan to go back and rest a while..."

Mid-sentence, Xin Mang glanced at Lotcar and the two people on his back, Bai Jin and Iyas.

"... I've suddenly changed my mind.

I can feel that you and your subordinates are much stronger than the last time we met.

How about it?

It didn't work out last time, so join us in the strategy this time, and I guarantee the efficiency will be much higher, and you'll be able to get back earlier if you score some good loot.

If we're lucky, we might even break through the 'Hall of Power.'"

Yang Yu raised an eyebrow under his mask and feigned ignorance:

"'Hall of Power,' is that the name of the maze?"

"It probably is. No matter who it is, as soon as they go down the passage to the first floor, they will hear this message:

— 'Welcome to the Hall of Power. If you crave strength in your heart, then come to the bottom of the maze and defeat me, and I will grant you supreme strength.'

Regardless of rank, everyone hears the same message."

Hmm.

How should I put it, it's a cliché way of luring people in.

This time it's the 'Hall of Power,' huh?

Before, due to a lack of attribute value, Yang Yu had always wanted to find a Lux Underground Maze that could be cleared even with low attributes.

But after intervening in the war between two countries, Yang Yu's attribute values and Experience Value rose rapidly, far exceeding his expectations.

Yang Yu had a hunch that if he and his team were to sign up again to intervene in the war between the two countries, they would definitely be picked up and thrown out by the giant dragon.

With such growth, everything was under the rules of the giant dragon.

Now if someone wanted to drive Yang Yu away, they couldn't. Besides, if anyone were to be driven away, it would first have to be those elites nurtured by the Luo Ze Empire.

Comparing to Xin Mang, Yang Yu believed that, excluding He Meng, everyone in his team could completely overwhelm Xin Mang.

Together, even an S-class adventure group ranked in the middle to lower end would have a fighting chance.

If Xin Mang's team dared to strategize for that Super Large Underground Maze, then naturally, Yang Yu's team also had the courage.

If worse came to worst, they would just keep wavering on the floors they could barely win, keeping the fight alive with ongoing battles.

Anyway, the final boss of the maze was likely a familiar face to the Hero, probably very strong, and may not be beatable by others.

If the war ended and the Underground Maze was still around, then they could try their hand at it again.

"Limitless strength, huh... Do you know the progress of the strategy for that Underground Maze? What's the deepest level you've reached? How many types of monsters have you encountered?"

In preparation for the upcoming strategy, Yang Yu began collecting information as usual.

"I'm not sure how many floors that Underground Maze has.

The types of monsters we've encountered are quite common, but they are all very strong.

Starting from the seventh floor, there are powerful Maze Guardians, and to reach the next level, you must defeat the guardians.

Actually, it's not just us who are strategizing the Underground Maze.

Behind us came the 'Wild Warriors.'

They are the second strongest in the Adventurer's Peak S-class adventure group, the 'Wild Warrior.'

Different from our 'Baihua Binfen,' other than their leader Glan Ache, who is a robust mother War Lion, all the others are healthy male Beastman Soldiers.

The War Lion is also a branch of Blood Lions and has the same property as Blood Lions, growing stronger as they fight.

I have a bit of an acquaintance with her.

She didn't make things difficult for us and treated us as she would true S-class adventurers."
