59 Stubborn Little Fairy (1/2)
”Are we in a desert right now?” said Aelena with a surprised look on her face.
”From the way it looks, it seems like it,” answered Dior.
”Amazing! So this is how a real desert looks like,” said an elf girl excitingly, especially since it's her first time being in a desert.
As for Prime, he was not impressed at all because back at Zxion planet, he had already visited many deserts before, so it's no longer a big deal to him. But for Aelena's party, this is actually their first time being on a desert because back at their homeland, there's no such thing as deserts over there.
”Woohoo! Take this!” said an elf man while throwing some sand at one of the elf girls playfully.
”Aah! How dare you!”
After playing for about a few seconds, Dior became annoyed and said:
”Stop it guys! We're not here to play so please focus and don't let your guard down,”
”Haha, sorry sorry my bad,” said the elf man guiltily.
As for the other two elf girls, they too also apologized to Dior for their misbehavior.
”Alright, let's not waste time and get going,” said Dior in a hurry.
”Yes!” responded everyone except for Aelena and Prime.
Without delay, they continue their journey again to find the next floor. After walking for about 5 hours, to their surprise, they still haven't seen any monsters yet and that made them felt like something is not right here.
”What's going on? How come we still haven't encountered any monsters yet?” said an elf man curiously.
”Yeah, surprisingly this floor is much easier than the previous floor,” said an elf girl curiously too.
As they were trying to figure out what was going on, suddenly, far away from them, they heard a loud noise of people yelling in pain.
Ah!!! Aaaaaaaahh!!!!
”Did you hear that?” said Aelena.
”Yes, very clearly in fact,” said Dior.
”Look! It's coming from the direction of 6 o'clock,” said one of the elf girl while pointing.
That's when everyone turned their heads around and even though it's so far away, but they were still able to see a gigantic creature that is about 125 feet tall. And upon looking at it closely, they realized it was a ”Scorpion King!”, one of the top 5 strongest monsters in this dungeon.
A Scorpion King would be considered Rank 4 among the top 5 monsters, and they are easily 5 times stronger than a Minotaur King. Unlike Minotaur King who's known for their high strength and high defense stats, but Scorpion King is known for their deadly poison all over their body, not just their tail.
”That's! That's a Scorpion King! Damn! Who would have thought that it would appear here,” said an elf man excitingly.
”Hmm, it seems like there are 4 unknown parties teaming up together to take down the Scorpion King,” said Dior.
Also, due to the 4 parties ganking up and fighting with the Scorpion King, have ended up aggroing a lot of monsters nearby to go at them. So as a result, Aelena's party didn't encounter any monsters along the way because the 4 parties are hording all of them.
”I see, that explains why we haven't seen any monsters along the way all this time,” said Dior.
”Dior-sama, shall we go and take a look?” said one of the elf girls excitingly as she cant wait to see the Scorpion King up close.
”No, since those 4 parties are aggroing all the monsters, so we should use this opportunity to save our energy and climb to the next floor instead,” said Dior.
Of course, the elf girl wasn't happy when Dior said that, but she's just a junior so she can't argue much about it.
With that being said, they continue their journey again and eventually two days later, they found the gateway to the 49th floor and entered it. Unlike the 48th floor which is a desert environment, but this floor is a tropical rain forest setting.
Every day in their travel is the same thing, killing monsters, rest in between, and then continue again. Then 4 days later, they finally arrived on the 50th floor, which is the deepest floor of this dungeon at the moment.
Although the 51st floor is actually the deepest floor, but unfortunately, not many people know about it, so many just considered the 50th floor as the deepest one.
”Haha finally, it looks like we need to climb one more floor and we will reach our destination,” said an elf man as he can hardly wait any longer.
