Yang Yu stroked his chin, "Is it the same issue you mentioned earlier, to prevent two S-class adventurer teams from fighting each other in the Underground Maze?"

"That's the one, it's an important rule. It's good that you haven't forgotten.

Even if there are personal grievances between S-class adventurer groups, they cannot fight in the Underground Maze.

All must follow the rules.

In any case, the 'Wild Warrior' has already treated us as a regular S-class adventurer group and given us time for strategizing."

As he spoke, Xin Mang's wagging tail stopped,

"But... we've already exhausted our efforts just defeating the Maze Guardian of the seventh floor.

The 'Wild Warrior' only managed to defeat the guardian of the Eighth Floor, and the creatures on the Ninth Floor are incredibly tough to deal with.

I heard that Miss Glan broke three ribs just to barely take down two of them."

Our current progress is on the Ninth Floor, huh?

No...

"How often do the creatures in the 'Hall of Power' refresh?" Yang Yu asked.

"About a month and a half or so they refresh.

Not all creatures will refresh."

A smile slipped from the corner of Xin Mang's mouth,

"Heh heh—you didn't know this, did you? The number of monsters in the Underground Maze decreases as more genuine treasures are taken away, refreshing less and less until it becomes a deserted city."

"That is to say, if we keep clearing the same Underground Maze repeatedly, can we eventually empty it?"

"In theory, it's feasible.

In fact, some adventurer groups monopolize a particular Underground Maze, just waiting for it to run out.

Like the 'Corpse Collection Coffin' from the Treuly Republic, I heard they have occupied an Underground Maze near the sea since a long time ago.

To protect that maze, the 'Corpse Collection Coffin' even modified the first three levels of the maze and placed numerous Spiritual Bodies there—just thinking about it gives me the chills.

They don't seem like bad guys; in fact, they have a good reputation.

Thanks to their efforts, people do not despise those with spiritual power; instead, they go out of their way to entrust children with spiritual abilities to them for training.

But rest assured.

S-class adventurer groups generally won't engage in monopolizing an Underground Maze.

Let's not talk about the drop rate; time is a big issue.

Living off stockpiled resources is another major issue."

Yang Yu pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. He wasn't agonizing over how long it would take to empty the Underground Maze with his adventurer team but was wondering if it was really possible to clean out an Underground Maze if it was not cleared.

After all, Yang Yu had heard before that if Storage Magic got damaged, those items might appear in the Underground Maze.

He confirmed with Bai Jin, and Bai Jin retold Yang Yu the story of "a person who breached the maze and retrieved the items from Storage Magic."

Moreover, it seems the Underground Maze would confiscate part of the treasures from deceased adventurers as replenishment to operate longer.

If other mazes also recycled deceased's belongings, or if belongings already belonged to the maze were taken back, it wouldn't be strange.

Then the question arose: Could they find an Underground Maze with a high frequency of monster refreshes, defeat the monsters without taking the treasures, and just stand there waiting for the monsters to refresh and block them at the spring?

The idea was enticing.

Unfortunately, verifying all this might need a lot of time.

The Demon King was approaching; merely leveling up was insufficient.

Improving attribute panels only raises the baseline; Equipment, Skills, and techniques are also keys to getting stronger.

If you don't know how to play, high attributes are merely for show.

Heroic Warrior Volcrix served as the best negative example.

Xin Mang interrupted Yang Yu's train of thought,

"After all this talk, what does General Potato think?"

"Hmm..." Pretending to think for a while, Yang Yu replied, "I'd like to accept your gracious invitation, but take a good look behind you.

Your companions are very exhausted, it's better to let them rest well instead of worrying about those treasures.

Though they are adventurers, they are still girls... they want to eat well, take a nice bath, and sleep well.

As their leader, you should take care of their feelings."

Turning around to look at his companions behind him, Xin Mang could indeed see many longing to return to city life.

Xin Mang awkwardly scratched his own cheek, a sense of apology welling up inside him.

"Indeed, only someone capable of becoming a Grand General would notice that, I got too excited just seeing you.

As a leader, I indeed was negligent. We really can't proceed together, what a pity."

"Indeed, a pity. I can only take my subordinates and try our luck in the Underground Maze. Since we're both busy, let's part ways here."

After finishing his words, Yang Yu climbed onto Lotcar's back, and Xin Mang also waved to her sisters behind her, signaling them to follow her.

But as soon as Xin Mang took a step forward, she paused and quickly walked up to Yang Yu and his group.

"Right, right, there's one super important thing.

Be extremely cautious of the creatures you might encounter in the maze.

I heard this from Miss Gla.

Let me emphasize again, be very careful of any strange poisonous creatures that might appear in the Underground Maze.

There was an S-class adventurer team that almost got wiped out by a peculiar demon.

Always be vigilant wherever you are.

And also, this guy..."

Xin Mang pulled out a flyer-like piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Yang Yu,

"Just now that information, and this one, anyone who has visited the adventurer's guild would know.

Although the giant dragon speculated that he in the photo wouldn't come near places crowded with people.

Entrusting this Task to adventurers like us, I still think it's better to spread the word."

Upon opening the flyer Xin Mang handed over, Yang Yu saw an image of a half-human, half-lizard prominently printed on it, with an incredibly unbelievable reward listed, and on the back, a symbol of a giant dragon.

It was a Task directly issued by a giant dragon.

"It is said that it was previously spotted on the snow-capped mountains of the Luoze Empire.

The adventurer team that went to investigate never returned, and now that creature is completely untraceable.

If encountered, you must be extremely cautious.

Well, didn't realize I've spoken so much! Next time I'll chat more with General, you must have many interesting stories too."

After finishing, this time Xin Mang truly led her team away.

Having received that flyer, a new Task also popped up on Yang Yu's panel, simply copying the information from the flyer.

A Task issued by giant dragons—had the dragons sensed something ominous?

This half-human lizard creature either escaped... from a research facility of the Luoze Empire... or perhaps there's something else hidden...

Either way, if he wanted to delve deeper into this Task, he'd first need to finish up what he was currently handling.
