pretty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Erwen and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being a homeless wanderer for several days, she still had shiny silver hair, amber eyes that seemed to

close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the set time, the labyrinth spits out the adventurers on the floor back to the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>168 hours for the first floor, 240 hours for the second floor, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the floor, the longer you can be active in the labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we plan to go down to the first floor and leave for the city just before the end of the 7th day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, we wont go as far as yesterday, and only move in the vicinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are several reasons to leave early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the first floor is closed, the portal also disappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning there's no way to retreat if an unexpected situation occurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food, too, is running a bit low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's also the option of buying food in exchange for mana stones from the adventurers you meet occasionally, but\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no need to overdo it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above all, we only have no more than 10 intact arrows left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how sturdy the arrow may be, this is inevitable because it's a consumable item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had these been the wooden arrows from Earth, they wouldn't have even lasted beyond one use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really feels like a different world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[22:27]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking the time, we pause our hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just in case,

most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, we can take some more time, but\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better to go early than to be late and not be able to go down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before we part, I have something to share with her as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful.

It's definitely from the goblin archer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I was blown away as soon as I saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How lucky do you have to be to get this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, me, is this essence? This, this, this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Definitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, uh, uh, what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one can tell just by looking at her reaction, essences are more valuable than treasures to an adventurer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essences are the cornerstones of the skill system of [Dungeon & Stone].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, will you become a goblin if you eat this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way. You'll only get a fraction of the abilities that goblins possess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the guy who'd tracked us down by smell on the first floor. He might've absorbed the essence of the blade wolf'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many times are you going to ask the same question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ratio is 9:1, she seems to be greedy for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, its not like that, but What if\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no particular reason not to give it to her, but is it an illusion that she somehow seems to be getting more impudent day by day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I answer her, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you promise me one thing, I will give you the essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goblin Archer Essence' is not very attractive to me as a barbarian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be of some help right now, but the total number of essences one can absorb is fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to remove it later, you'll have to spend a ton of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\" Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See those wide round eyes, a smile leaks out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's strange to even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essence drops with a very low chance when hunting monsters. By the way, did the essence of a goblin archer drop rather than that of a normal goblin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's lucky enough to be called beginner's luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is my bad luck finally turning around?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I was going to tell you after we went down to the first floor, but Ill just tell you now. Erwen \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you! What are you doing now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn my luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I'm about to get Erwen to promise me one thing, a cry is heard from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A party of four human adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spot us from afar and quickly close the distance with firm expressions on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I'd expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, uncle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the correct process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I get lucky? No way. I've been different from others since I was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For me, luck has always been something you have to seize for yourself, not something that drops down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erwen, prepare to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this.\u003C\u002Fp>",2728,"2026-06-05T19:32:48.785Z",1,"novelbin.me","86352e0b772701c3339003bb10a9d14f576982431febcf478f039f5fea6755fd","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-263","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-262",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-cover.jpg"]
