With the strength of Ling Xuan and Ryu, solving the monsters on the upper levels was like cutting vegetables.
Facing these monsters, Ling Xuan and Ryu advanced at an extremely fast pace.
Very quickly, they arrived at the 11th floor.
Today, the two of them still had no intention of venturing deeper.
They planned to spend more time consolidating here.
Dungeon 11th Floor.
The "Chamber" extending from the center is the starting point of the 11th floor. This floor continues the structure from the 10th floor, also producing thick fog.
Ling Xuan and Ryu also carefully observed their surroundings.
With good visibility maintained, the grassland, half-submerging their shoes, stretched endlessly, and dry, thick trees, the "Labyrinth's Armory," were scattered and growing around.
Just at this moment, both of them heard a 'splat' sound simultaneously.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xuan and Ryu immediately turned their heads.
Their gazes were fixed on a certain spot.
Having become quite accustomed to the Dungeon, the two of them knew exactly what kind of sound that was without needing to think.
Along with that ominous cracking sound...
Monsters were about to be born from the Dungeon!
The Dungeon walls cracked and shattered.
A thick, greasy brown arm forcibly broke through the soil from inside the wall and crawled out.
That's right, in the eyes of the two of them.
The Dungeon walls began to crack.
Immediately after, they could see a left arm breaking through the wall and drilling out, followed by the right arm, and then a huge pig's head followed.
What appeared before them was an Orc, a monster they had encountered more than enough times.
"Interesting, this is the first time I've seen the moment an Orc is born."
Ling Xuan said this without any serious expression on his face.
After all, facing such monsters, he didn't even know how many he had already defeated.
However, it was clear that the monsters being born here right now were not just Orcs.
The cracking sound of the walls did not stop there.
After the Orc appeared before them, the two of them could clearly hear several more identical sounds ringing out around them.
The next second, monsters burst through the Chamber walls from all directions at once.
This is a situation that only occurs on floors beyond the tenth floor.
The moment a large number of monsters are generated in the same area is called a "Monster Feast."
Once this phenomenon occurs, places that were originally empty will be instantly filled with monsters.
And now, Ling Xuan and Ryu were encountering such a situation.
Generally speaking, this is a very dangerous phenomenon.
If ordinary adventurers encountered such a situation, they would probably turn and run immediately...
But clearly, neither Ling Xuan nor Ryu had any intention of running away; instead, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces!
Here it comes, the monster buffet!
"Then, let's go!"
With that declaration, Ling Xuan immediately drew the long sword from his hand.
He quickly rushed towards the Orc.
A flash of silver light, and a 'splat' sound!
An Orc fell under Ling Xuan's sword just like that!
In just an instant, Ling Xuan immediately took down a large monster.
As if he found this monster-slaying speed too slow.
Ling Xuan waved his large hand again, and countless ice pillars rose from the ground!
In just an instant, they thoroughly pierced the surrounding monsters.
However, although the efficiency of slaying monsters was fast, the monsters born from the Dungeon were countless.
And Ryu, seeing Ling Xuan charging forward, was not to be outdone.
As a Level 4 adventurer, her stats were actually almost at their maximum value now.
During this time, slaying monsters with Ling Xuan had caused her stats and various aspects to improve rapidly.
Solving these monsters was also effortless!
Under the monster-slaying efficiency of the two of them, the monsters in the Dungeon visibly decreased.
Soon, a new monster appeared before him.
That monster's physique was equivalent to that of a human.
It stood on two short legs, its forelimbs had seemingly sturdy claws, its back was like it was carrying armor, covered in segmented carapaces, its scaly skin extended all the way to its head, and combined with its angular shape, it looked like it was wearing a helmet.
This monster is called an Armadillo, a hard-shelled mouse that appears on the 11th floor.
It possesses a hard shell, but its abdomen and chest, which are not protected by the shell, are soft and fragile.
Its defensive capability is far beyond that of other monsters on the 11th-12th floors.
In other words, they possess the strongest defense on the upper floors.
This can be said to be one of the most difficult monsters to deal with on floors 11-12.
However, in front of the two of them, this kind of monster was a bit underwhelming.
Ling Xuan didn't even use Skyfire!
At the speed of the two of them, the rate at which the Dungeon spawned monsters was actually slower than the rate at which they killed them.
Soon, the two of them finished their battle with the monster army and were currently taking a short rest.
"It feels like, at this pace, we might be able to explore further down to the lower floors."
Hearing Ryu's words, Ling Xuan was slightly taken aback.
But thinking about it carefully, with the strength of the two of them...
The monsters here were still too simple for them.
"Indeed, we can consider it... After preparing sufficient food, we can continue exploring downwards."
"However, Ling Xuan, you should be close to Leveling Up, right?"
Ling Xuan nodded.
After this day, his various stats were basically approaching the upper limit that existing humans could reach.

It was indeed time to Level Up!
Just as Ling Xuan was thinking this, Ryu's gaze suddenly settled on a certain spot, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Hey, Ling Xuan, what is that?"
Ryu's voice immediately attracted Ling Xuan's attention.
Following her line of sight, what he saw were white specks of light flashing.
It was something similar to a condensation of light.
Those points of light gathered, converged, and repeated the process.
At the same time, they emitted a sharp, faint ringing sound.
Like church bells, ringing frequently at small intervals.
The next second, a deafening roar echoed.
"Rooar!"
An existence called a Young Dragon appeared before the two of them.
