118: There is a "thief" on the empty floor!
“Alright, the shoes are changed, time for clothes.”
Su Mo handed the moon gods veil, which glowed with moonlight, to Xiao Wu.
“Ah? Here? Change here?” Xiao Wu’s cheeks instantly flushed a pretty crimson, and she subconsciously hugged her arms.
“Of course,” Su Mo said seriously, “I have three Lord-level subordinates guarding outside. You won’t find a safer place in the entire game.”
“But…”
“No buts, time is precious.”
As Su Mo spoke, he decisively turned his back to her. “I promise not to peek, hurry up.”
He spoke casually, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared.
Today was the sixth day; tomorrow was the settlement day for this Double Elevator dungeon. He had to reach the hundredth floor before the deadline!
No time to dawdle here.
Soon, a rustling sound of fabric came from behind him, faint, yet it scratched at Su Mo’s heart like a feather.
The sweet, peach-like scent unique to a young girl seemed to grow stronger with the sound, wafting into his nostrils in wisps.
Su Mo felt his Willpower being tested like never before.
“I… I’m done changing.”
A few minutes later, Xiao Wu’s slightly shy voice came from behind him.
Su Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, then slowly turned around.
With just one glance, his breath hitched.
The sight before him instantly left his mind blank.
The moon gods veil, this legendary dress, was less an outfit and more a handful of pure moonlight skillfully stitched into shape.
The translucent, gauzy fabric gently hugged the girl’s exquisite curves, and countless tiny crystals adorning the hem of the skirt reflected dazzling starlight with her slightest movement.
The bold yet elegant design perfectly accentuated her tall and graceful figure, making her neither too flamboyant nor too plain.
It was sacred, noble, yet carried a hint of fatal allure that could drive any male creature mad.
Paired with the magnificent legendary pink crystal high heels on her feet, Xiao Wu at this moment was like a true goddess who had stepped out of the Star Moon Divine Kingdom.
“Does it look good? Su Mo?” Seeing him staring blankly, Xiao Wu awkwardly pinched the corner of her skirt and asked softly.
“It looks good.” Su Mo’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he praised her sincerely, “It’s simply… unbelievably beautiful.”
“Hehe.” Xiao Wu felt a sweet warmth in her heart from the compliment. She could clearly feel that after putting on this set of equipment, the soul power surging within her body had become much purer and more powerful.
“Ahem, alright, we should continue onward.” Su Mo forcibly tore his gaze away from her. If he kept looking, he was genuinely afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist taking this peerless enchantress on the spot.
With a full set of legendary equipment, Xiao Wu’s strength had undergone another qualitative leap.
Su Mo still didn’t let her attack, instead having his three Lord-level subordinates clear the way.
Rehn and Fim, the two reckless bulls, seemed to still be bothered by being instantly killed earlier. Now, they were holding back a surge of energy, frantically clearing monsters along the way, even secretly competing to see who killed more.
“Roar! I killed thirty!”
“Moo! I killed thirty-two! Those two you got were my kills!”
Antonidas, on the other hand, acted like an elegant noble, disdaining to associate with them. He merely occasionally waved his staff, releasing precise and deadly dark magic to harvest any stragglers.
And Xiao Wu simply followed quietly by Su Mo’s side. The radiance emanating from her moon gods veil even carried a subtle, almost imperceptible charm aura, causing the fearless monsters to experience a momentary delay and confusion when charging.
This brief vulnerability was already fatal for the three Lord-level enforcers.
The efficiency of clearing monsters, far from decreasing, actually increased.
However, when they stepped into the seventy-first floor, a strange phenomenon occurred.
“My Lord, this floor has been cleared!” Rehn reported to Su Mo in a booming voice, shouldering his thunderous great axe.
“Hmm? Where are the treasure chests?” Su Mo looked around, his brows slightly furrowed.
Aside from the monster corpses scattered everywhere and the strong scent of blood, there wasn’t even the most dilapidated wooden chest to be seen on this floor.
“Reporting to my Lord, your subordinate has already searched the entire floor thoroughly, but found nothing,” Antonidas’s voice came, tinged with confusion.
“That’s strange.”
According to the rules of this dungeon, each floor should have at least one guaranteed gold treasure chest. How could there be nothing at all?
“Could it be that the refresh mechanism for this floor is special?” Su Mo muttered to himself, not paying too much attention.
“Never mind, let’s go to the next floor.”
However, the seventy-second floor was still empty.
The seventy-third floor was also the same.
The seventy-fourth floor, the seventy-fifth floor… When they had cleared nine floors in a row, and besides the massive amount of experience that boosted the three Lord-level subordinates’ levels to LV24, they hadn’t even gotten a single hair, Su Mo finally stopped.
His expression darkened.
“Something’s not right.”
“This is definitely not a coincidence!”
“Su Mo, what’s wrong?” Xiao Wu noticed his change in mood and asked with concern.
Su Mo didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes, rapidly connecting all the clues in his mind.
Empty floors… terrifyingly regular “coincidences”… Suddenly, a function he had overlooked flashed through his mind like lightning—[Dimensional Anchor]!
A special function unlocked when the elevator reached max level, allowing him to set teleportation points on any floor!
“I understand.” Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
“We’ve been played for fools!”
“Ah?” Xiao Wu looked puzzled, “Isn’t this dungeon only for the two of us?”
“No, not anymore,” Su Mo shook his head, his voice as cold as ice. “My elevator has [Dimensional Anchor], so other players who have maxed out their elevators must have it too!”
“This so-called ‘Double Elevator’ is probably no longer a beginner’s welfare dungeon! It has become a public resource point that players of all batches can enter and exit at any time! A huge treasure trove!”
“And we are like two newcomers who just got the key, excitedly rushing in. But we don’t know that those old hands who have long treated this place as their own backyard have already drained all the good stuff from the lower floors!”
After hearing Su Mo’s analysis, Xiao Wu’s pretty face was also filled with shock and indignation.
“Then… what should we do now? Should we just let it go?”
“Let it go? How could I!”
Su Mo raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of obstacles, looking towards higher places.
“Go! Directly to the eightieth floor!”
He made a decisive decision, directly giving up on continuing to clear floor by floor. He was going to skip floors!
To snatch the BOSS before those “thieves” did!
