Kapitel 150: [150] 59th Floor!
Although Finn shouted, there were very few insects left by now.
Looking at the completely 'cleaned' surroundings, Finn felt like crying without tears.
You should know that this expedition emptied all the money of the Loki familia. Counting on the returns from this expedition, but now, all the magic stones in this place were gone.
"Um, Finn, even though the magic stones are gone, the dropped items from before are still here."
August couldn't help but speak as he looked at Finn, who was quite 'stricken'.
If these magic stones were genuinely destroyed, August wouldn't feel guilty, but the problem was that these magic stones were all devoured. In other words, they were privately consumed by him.
"Yes, there are dropped items too."
Finn also remembered what happened when August, Tsubaki, and Raul collected the dropped items just now.
This made him feel a bit relieved. Compared to magic stones, the dropped items from these dragon-type monsters were the real treasures, all of them drops from level 5 monsters, dragon-types nonetheless, and each one was worth a fortune.
However, when Finn looked at August, there was still a bit of 'resentment' in his eyes. In his eyes, August was already equivalent to a squanderer.
Indeed, magic was powerful, it could instantly clear so many insects. But why did you have to clear out all the magic stones? Without magic stones, what was the point of killing monsters?
After a brief rest, everyone had mostly recovered, and they were ready to continue forward.
Standing at the entrance of the 59th floor, Finn furrowed his brows slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Riveria walked over, looking at Finn and asking.
"According to the records left by the Zeus familia and Hera familia, the 59th floor is a frozen layer. The ground is frozen, and it's an extremely cold area covered in ice crystals. But now, why do I feel nothing at all."
"What do you mean?"
"If the next floor is really an extremely cold area, then even if the 58th floor is unaffected, there should still be some impact at the entrance. But now, I don't feel anything at all."
"Are you saying that the records of the Zeus and Hera familia don't match?"
"I don't know, but I always have a bad feeling about it."
Several people around also walked over. After hearing Finn's words, they all fell into contemplation.
"Alright, if you want to know the answer, just go and see for yourself."
After saying that, August walked towards the inside first, with Ais and Tsubaki naturally following.
Seeing this, everyone else hurriedly followed suit.
"This is the 'Fire Spirit Guard Cloth' purchased at a high price. Everyone put it on, just in case."
At Finn's signal, Raul took out pieces of Fire Spirit Guard Cloth from his bag. These were expensive fire-resistant protective gear.
No one knew what they would face next, so everyone put them on.
A few minutes later, walking through the passage leading to the 59th floor, although the temperature around had dropped somewhat, the humidity had greatly increased.
Throughout the entire passage, it felt like a steam sauna. Not only was it hot, but it was also sticky. Plus, with the Fire Spirit Guard Cloth on their bodies, each of them was sweating profusely.
"I can't take it anymore, it's so stifling here, and wearing this is too hot."
Tiona was the first to take off the Fire Spirit Guard Cloth. Seeing this, Finn didn't say anything, and the others also took off the Fire Spirit Guard Cloth in pairs.
Finally, after some time, a bit of light appeared in the pitch-black passage.
"It's the exit."
"Great, finally out."
"We've finally arrived. Next is the floor that even the legends of the past haven't conquered..."
Finn's tone was slightly excited, and not only him, but everyone felt the same.
Because as long as they conquer this floor, the Loki familia would create a new history, ascending to a new legend.
However, amidst the joy, everyone remained vigilant. After all, they were all seasoned adventurers, each tightly gripping their weapons. If anything felt off, they would immediately launch an attack.
Soon, after traversing the last stretch, the field of view suddenly became vast.
What came into view was a densely packed forest of vegetation. Various plants grew before them, forming a large area resembling a tropical rainforest.
Most of the surrounding plants were also temperate-zone plants, along with various vines and thorns, clearly showing signs of rare human presence.
"Wow, the climate here is similar to our old home."
Tione of the Amazon familia looked around and said slowly, especially the surrounding plants, which were clearly from a temperate zone.
Tiona, standing beside her, also nodded. The temperature here was indeed similar to where they came from.
"Over there~"
At this moment, in the midst of the team, Ais suddenly felt uncomfortable, then looked towards the depths of the tropical rainforest.
Seeing this, August quickly supported Ais. August could guess, this was definitely another resonance from bloodlines, similar to the situation with the bead fetus encountered on the 18th floor.
Worth mentioning was that the bead fetus obtained on the 18th floor had been completely swallowed by the little world not long ago.
August didn't know why, but as soon as he entered the little world, it was directly devoured.
"The smell of rotting corpses."
Bete suddenly sniffed, slightly serious.
"What's wrong, Bete?"
"In this place, there's a stench of rotting corpses, it's nauseating. Finn, this place is not simple."
"Ah, I also have this feeling, and my thumb has started to sting."
Feeling something bad was about to happen, Finn's right thumb would ache, this was a special talent belonging to Finn, not a skill. However, many times, this ability had saved his life.
Walking in the tropical rainforest, everyone remained extremely vigilant. If anything unexpected happened, they would attack immediately.
Only August, this oddball, walked as if nothing was happening.
However, everyone didn't know that at this moment, August had already enveloped the entire 59th floor with Observation Haki. In the deepest part, there was a filthy and chaotic aura, very conspicuous.
"Finn, the smell is getting stronger. It seems we've found their lair."
Bete said slowly, and Finn nodded solemnly. Others also looked around.
After passing through the jungle, they reached a clearing. On the clearing, a terrifying and nauseating scene unfolded.
Piles of monster corpses were stacked like mountains. There were various kinds of monsters, each one terrifying during its lifetime. But now, they had all turned into corpses, accumulating here.
Because the magic stones were not extracted, these monsters didn't disappear. However, their corpses were now piled up, rotting and stinking.
What made Finn and the others fearful wasn't these corpses, but rather the figure in front of them.
