Chapter 55: Second floor crusade ended, about to be ambushed!

Shang Hao was at the very front of the team, needing to face the most Ice Field Eagles. ===== CHAPTER 121 =====

Even so,

his gaze would still occasionally drift toward Shang Shang Yana.

Shang Hao was different from the other two; as an outsider genius cultivated by the Shang family, he would only be granted the Shang surname if he performed exceptionally well.

If it were the strong-willed eldest young lady, Shang Shang Zijin, these outsiders naturally wouldn't dare to harbor any crooked thoughts.

The gentle and weak Shang Shang Yana, however, was different.

Sweet-looking, humble in demeanor, without any "young lady" temper.

Such a "white moonlight" girl—after spending a long time together, any man would develop different feelings.

Originally, Shang Hao didn't have any opinion of Li Yao.

Good strength, spoke little, and was someone arranged by Sister Shang Zijin.

The key was that he could also use the other party to show off his captain's demeanor, thereby winning Xiao Ya's favor.

But just now, glancing back at the scene before him, he almost couldn't even hold his shield steady.

The two heads were almost pressed together.

And this was inside a dungeon, with people around!

If there were no one, what would happen?!

What was most jealous-inducing was that it looked like Xiao Ya was the one who leaned in?

Are you kidding me?

When has Xiao Ya ever been this close to a man?

So Shang Hao immediately spoke up to interrupt Li Yao.

Li Yao knew the other party's little thoughts at a glance.

He didn't speak, just swept a light glance at him.

Shang Hao wanted to speak again, but was so frightened by this look that he shivered.

Li Yao didn't deliberately try to scare him; he didn't need to bother with a passerby.

However, he had previously faced monsters like the Goblin King and the Tongue-Ripping Empress.

The former was the final boss of Nightmare difficulty, the latter was a Purgatory-level lord; the aura on them was far beyond what ordinary monsters could compare to.

Having fought them, and even hunted them, Li Yao's own aura was gradually aligning with these overlord-level monsters.

For professionals of Shang Hao's caliber, let alone soloing a boss, even facing an elite monster alone required caution.

Facing Li Yao's gaze, his body instinctively sent out a danger warning.

"In short, don't slack off. If you want to chat, wait until we've taken care of these beasts."

Damn it!

How could this guy feel even more terrifying than the boss-level monsters encountered before?

Shang Hao thought to himself.

To avoid losing face in front of Shang Shang Yana, he turned and threw himself into the battlefield.

"Student Li Yao,"

Shang Shang Yana gently touched Li Yao's arm.

Li Yao turned his head.

Shang Shang Yana clasped her hands together, looking like she was begging for mercy.

She knew why Shang Hao was being rude to Li Yao, so she blamed herself and asked Li Yao for forgiveness.

"Small problem."

Li Yao waved his hand.

"Where is that Lookout Tower dungeon you mentioned, and what level can you enter?"

"Student Li Yao has such a good temper."

"It's in Qinghai City. Because it's a single-player dungeon, there's no level restriction, but I suggest you wait until level 30, Student Li Yao."

In Shang Shang Yana's eyes, Li Yao was the kind of super-powerful professional!

Soloing Nightmare difficulty at level 30 shouldn't be a problem!

"Alright, I know."

Neither Li Yao nor Shang Shang Yana took Shang Hao's "don't slack off" to heart.

If it were usual, given Shang Shang Yana's personality, regardless of whether she had finished her kill mission, she would have helped hunt monsters.

But now that Li Yao was by her side,

he was a guest respected by Sister Shang Zijin, so she naturally had to stay by his side.

An hour later,

the Ice Field Eagles drawn by the Glacial Storm were finally cleared out by the group.

Midway, when the Azure Bird's mana dropped below half, Li Yao had it turn off [Glacial Storm] to save mana for emergencies.

This led Shang Mingxu and Shang Qian to believe that Li Yao was slacking off in the back.

And taking Xiao Ya with him to slack off!

The three were panting; with so many monsters coming at once, even they couldn't handle it.

Shang Hao looked at Li Yao, didn't speak, snorted coldly, and then opened the passage to the third floor.

Li Yao followed them into the passage.

At the same time, he looked at the Void Mantis's panel and nodded with satisfaction.

Another three hundred plus Strength added, not bad!

Killing over three hundred Ice Field Eagles—more than all of them combined—plus the damage caused by the Azure Bird.

Saying he was slacking off?

Forget it, there are three more floors. Finish them quickly, then focus on the Second Transition mission.

The environment of the third floor was a desert.

The monsters were level 25 ordinary monsters called Lion Ants, numerous in quantity, but their individual strength was not even as good as the Ground-Walking Crabs on the first floor.

Each person needed to kill two hundred to enter the fourth floor.

Li Yao followed the others hunting monsters while thinking to himself:

From the fourth floor on, it truly counts as the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The first three floors are places for ordinary professionals to hunt; after the fourth floor, elite monsters appear, and ordinary professional teams find it hard to survive in such places.

If the Yan family really wanted to launch an attack, it would definitely be after the fourth floor.

The sixth floor is also unlikely; when performing the Second Transition mission, the Heaven-Reaching Tower has a probability of separating the professional into an independent space.

If they encounter danger,

Shang Shang Yana could completely use a teleportation prop within the independent space to teleport out.

So it can only be on the fourth or fifth floor?

To hunt the second young lady of the Shang family, the people sent by the Yan family shouldn't be weak.

It's just that I don't know

if such people fall in the Heaven-Reaching Tower,

will the Yan family feel the pain? ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
