Uranus asked with some confusion.
"Didn't you say those words for the sake of the heretics?"
"Yes, I did say a few words, but that has nothing to do with me being a hero to the heretics."
"Oh? Then why are you helping those heretics?"
"Because it's a hobby."
"A hobby?"
Those words of a certain bald, caped man, spoken from Wang Xiaoming's mouth, stunned Uranus for a moment.
"That's right, it's a hobby!"
Wang Xiaoming nodded very affirmatively.
"To be honest, I didn't specifically pay attention to those heretics. The reason I suddenly announced protection for them was entirely because I encountered a newly born heretic in the dungeon."
"The prerequisite for me to get involved in things is that I happen to know about it and I'm interested in getting involved. And the reason I got involved in the heretics' affairs is simply because I encountered a newly born heretic, who is also the child I adopted. I named her Wang Xiaohong, inheriting my surname."
"Because of her, I paid attention to those heretics in the dungeon. Because those heretics are Xiaohong's kin, in order to prevent anyone from harming Xiaohong for their own purposes, I announced protection for all the heretics. Because Xiaohong's existence exposed the heretics, and the adventurers will definitely attack the heretics. When that happens, there will always be some ignorant guys who will want to harm Xiaohong, so I decided to directly protect all the heretics."
Wang Xiaoming very directly said words that sounded incredibly selfish, which shocked Uranus.
"But that would put you at odds with the other adventurers in Orario. Is that alright?"
"That's right, because I don't care about the other adventurers. I only care about the people around me. No matter what happens to the others, I won't care. As long as they are not people I'm interested in, I won't care."
Protecting the heretics was purely because of Xiaohong; otherwise, Wang Xiaoming wouldn't have bothered.
"This is truly a hero completely different from what I imagined."
Uranus couldn't help but sigh.
"Although it's different from what I imagined, being able to do this much, you are indeed a hero."
"No, I don't think I'm any kind of hero. I'm just a knight who wants to live a peaceful life with his family, a knight belonging only to my family."
Wang Xiaoming denied the title of hero for himself. Although he already had the title of hero in the mouths of the gods of Orario, Wang Xiaoming didn't want to be a puppet of the gods.
"God Uranus, you called me here, it shouldn't just be to talk to me about the heretics, right?"
"Yes, I have a request that I want to ask of you."
676. Uranus's Pioneering Request
Although Uranus is not inside the dungeon, he has been using his divine power to suppress the dungeon, so he knows more or less what happens inside the dungeon.
He naturally knew about Wang Xiaoming helping the heretics. To be honest, he was not at ease about Wang Xiaoming's initial announcement to protect the heretics in the dungeon.
Indeed, Wang Xiaoming was the fastest in all of Orario from entering Orario to leveling up to LV5, which can be said to be record-breaking, but Uranus doesn't care what records the adventurers of Orario create, that's just a game for the gods. What he cares about is always the dungeon.
And inside the dungeon, the changes in the dungeon are what he cares about, for example, the heretics that appeared after the dungeon changed.
No one knows better than Uranus how difficult it is to deal with the heretic issue, so he didn't believe Wang Xiaoming when he said he would protect the heretics, because human power is limited. Even if Wang Xiaoming is a genius adventurer, he can't stay in the dungeon all the time. As long as he doesn't stay in the dungeon, there's no way to protect those heretics.
As a result, he quickly discovered that Wang Xiaoming was actually sitting in the dungeon and protecting the heretics in the dungeon for a long time, really just not going out.
This shocked Uranus. Did this human really plan to live in the dungeon?
But soon he was even more surprised, because there was actually a Wang Xiaoming on the surface of Orario.
Two Wang Xiaomings? What's going on?
But soon he understood what was going on.
Clone!
Although this is a skill that no human adventurer has ever had before, no one knows to what extent God's Grace can do. Obviously, Wang Xiaoming obtained a clone skill.
So, he was shocked. This skill is simply made for protecting the heretics.
As long as Wang Xiaoming is always sitting in the dungeon where the heretics live, then other adventurers will have no way to harass the heretics.
The heretics generally don't like to fight, so they all hide in the corners to live. Because of Wang Xiaoming's intervention, all the heretics gathered in one place to live, and a small town has developed in the dungeon.
During this period, it's not that no adventurers came to make trouble for the heretics, but every one of those adventurers who made trouble was solved by Wang Xiaoming, directly killed on the spot, without any mercy. This direct behavior directly made those poachers shudder.
But it's not over yet. Wang Xiaoming's clone, relying on his ninjutsu abilities, directly reads the other party's memory before killing them, and then uses the other party's memory to find their accomplices, and then directly takes them all away in one wave.
That's right, Wang Xiaoming directly grabs one and takes away a batch, that's what Wang Xiaoming's clone did, of course, this is also under the authorization of Wang Xiaoming himself.
After Uranus understood all this, he was very curious about Wang Xiaoming. He observed Wang Xiaoming's clone in the dungeon for a long time and found that this clone was purely maintaining those heretics in the dungeon, and did nothing else. He didn't attack the monsters in the dungeon, nor did he do anything else, anyway, he was just protecting those heretics.
After confirming that Wang Xiaoming was really purely helping to protect the heretics, Uranus turned his attention to Wang Xiaoming's main body, and then sent the guild's staff to find Wang Xiaoming.
And the purpose of him finding Wang Xiaoming is only one, that is.
"Could you please lead the Hestia Familia to break through to the depths of the dungeon?"
"The depths of the dungeon?"
"That's right, the dungeon is alive, it has always had its own consciousness, but its usual performance is to release monsters, but the dungeon is changing, it is always changing. The previous change gave birth to the heretics, and the recent change has caused a large number of new types of monsters to appear in the dungeon. I can feel that the power in the depths of the dungeon is changing."
Uranus looked at Wang Xiaoming.
"I have seen the appearance of those floors after you took the people in your Familia to adventure after the fiftieth floor of the dungeon, so I know that your strength surpasses ordinary adventurers. Even if you go down to the 59th floor, you can easily deal with it."
The appearance after Wang Xiaoming took people to level up was a bit terrible. Wang Xiaoming directly went all out and frantically used fire to wash the ground. The magic resistance of those wyverns and earth dragons was not high, and they couldn't resist the fire's slash at all. Even the entire terrain inside the 【Dragon's Nest】 was burned by Wang Xiaoming with fire, a truly meaningful scorched earth tactic, which can indeed be said to be easy to deal with.
"Therefore, I hope to entrust you, the Hestia Familia, to go to the depths of the 【Dragon's Nest】 to conduct an investigation to see what new species have appeared after the 50th floor, so that the guild can provide information to other adventurers to prevent unnecessary casualties for other adventurers."
In other words, this is a pioneering mission.
"I understand, our Hestia Familia will accept this request."
"Thank you for your help."
After that, it was time to talk about the remuneration. After all, Wang Xiaoming would not just say "you are a hero" and not ask for money. That's what the heroes who were summoned by the king to work for humans do, and Wang Xiaoming is not a hero, so money is definitely needed.
After Wang Xiaoming negotiated the remuneration with Uranus, he left the guild under the farewell of the guild staff, returned to the Hestia Familia, and told the Familia members who were waiting inside about his conversation with Uranus.
"New species have appeared in the dungeon? Ming-kun, will you be in danger?"
After hearing the news, Hestia's first thought was about safety.
"There is no danger, Hestia. The current dungeon is actually not dangerous to me. Those monsters are no longer my opponents at all. I'm just going to observe those new species and record some information about them, especially what characteristics those new species have. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with me."
There are not only new species in the dungeon, but also other things, such as fallen fairies or something, but as long as that group of guys doesn't take the initiative to find Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoming is too lazy to care about them.
“Those monsters are useless to me, but they can give everyone some training. After all, that's the bottom layer of the Dragon's Nest. Perfect! Our Familia can develop another wave. It would be great if everyone could reach LV4 or something.”
If Wang Xiaoming went to the Dragon's Nest alone, he could directly solve all the monsters with ease, but considering the need to record monster information, he still needs to bring people. Since he's recording anyway, he might as well bring everyone along and record the monster information while leveling up inside.
677. Exploring New Species in the Dungeon
Wang Xiaoming feels that his family has been leveling up fast enough, but now that Uranus has given him a dungeon exploration mission, it's a good opportunity to level up another wave!
Anyway, leveling up is a good thing for Wang Xiaoming, because after leveling up, he can get a new world.
However, considering the characteristics of the world, it's probably still a virus world. He just doesn't know if it's a biological virus or a biochemical virus. He's afraid that computer viruses might even appear in the end.
Of course, that's something he'll encounter when he goes to the new world in the future. Before that, Wang Xiaoming has to complete the task entrusted by Uranus in the dungeon first.
Because he already has the ability of spatial teleportation, Wang Xiaoming doesn't even need to prepare any supplies. In the Familia hall, he simply announced to his family that he was going to be stationed in the Dragon's Nest for a long time, and then directly took the selected people down to the dungeon.
Wang Xiaoming's clone is in the dungeon, so Wang Xiaoming doesn't even need to enter from the entrance under Babel. He can directly teleport to the dungeon using his clone as the teleportation coordinate.
And his own family can naturally use the space channel!
So, Wang Xiaoming directly opened one of the channels and took his whole family into the depths of the dungeon.
This time, the four of the previous six people were brought over to level up. Because Lamia and Lamiya have to be responsible for protecting Hestia, they won't be brought along for the time being. Wang Xiaoming brought Leticia, as well as the remaining three cute "pets", namely Agulola and the other two. Then Wang Xiaoming also brought Xiashi and Tina, a total of six people, into the dungeon through the teleportation gate.
The leveling speed of Xiashi and Tina has slowed down. Although Wang Xiaoming has replaced their equipment, changing all their weapons into magic stone equipment, and also magic stone energy shields, this kind of magic stone equipment can already cause damage to the dragons in the Dragon's Nest.
Most importantly, their leveling speed has slowed down. Usually, they mainly level up with Yako, but after Yako leveled up to LV5, the frequency of going to the dungeon began to slow down. She is more willing to manage the housework in the Familia's base, and it seems that doing housework makes her even happier.
And Tina and Xiashi are not in a hurry to level up, so the two of them play around everywhere every day. Sometimes they even go out to play with Hestia, playing cards together or something.
Considering that the environment of Orario is starting to change, Hestia Familia is likely to be targeted by other Familias, so Wang Xiaoming wants to take these two loli, who are still LV4 but are actually the weakest in the Familia, to level up properly.
That's right, Xiashi and Tina are the weakest members of the entire Familia, because the remaining six, Agulola is a True Ancestor, possessing a True Ancestor-level Familiar Beast, and the other two are a dragon and Agulola's familiars.
And the other three all come from Hakoniwa. From Leticia to Lamia to Lamiya, all of them are four-digit existences. In this world, except for the gods who have recovered their divine power, only they threaten others, and no one threatens them.
As for Yako, she has already been taken to the Campione world by Wang Xiaoming and became a Campione. Yako, who has several authorities, can no longer be considered a human being. Only Tina and Xiashi, although they are Cursed Children, are still considered human beings. Their physical fitness is still much weaker than others.
So, Wang Xiaoming wants to level them up properly. After their bodies grow to a certain extent, Wang Xiaoming will give them a wave of enhancement.
A group of people came directly to the dungeon through Wang Xiaoming's teleportation gate, and the location where they landed was where Wang Xiaoming's clone was located.
A remote corner of the dungeon where the Xenos live.
“You're finally here, Main Body.”
Wang Xiaoming's clone immediately greeted him when he saw Wang Xiaoming walking out of the teleportation gate.
“You've worked hard. You can go back now.”
“Okay.”
After Wang Xiaoming's Main Body greeted him, this clone was directly dismissed, and Wang Xiaoming, who dismissed the clone, received the clone's memory, and instantly understood what this clone had experienced during his duty in the dungeon.
There were no major problems, just helping the Xenos find those Xenos who might have just been born, and also solving those poachers who wanted to secretly hunt the Xenos.
“I didn't expect there to be so many poachers.”
This clone killed more than twenty poachers during his duty, which surprised Wang Xiaoming. Before, in Orario, Wang Xiaoming and Yako also killed many poachers, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
But considering the population of Orario, this many poachers doesn't seem like much.
These poachers, just get rid of them, it won't have much impact.
After waiting in place for a while, after receiving all the information in his mind, Wang Xiaoming created another clone in place, and after letting this new clone be responsible for the duty task, Wang Xiaoming took his family and headed towards the depths of the dungeon.
Wang Xiaoming didn't take action against the monsters encountered along the way. Wang Xiaoming was sitting on the Somersault Cloud the whole time, and then let the others on the Somersault Cloud mow the grass below.
Of course, they also have to identify whether any new monsters have appeared.
After Uranus entrusted Wang Xiaoming to explore new species of monsters, the Guild gave Wang Xiaoming a monster encyclopedia, which contains all the monsters currently in the dungeon. As long as it's not a new species, it's on it.
Of course, if a monster that has never been seen on it appears, it must be a new species.
No one can be sure that new species only appear in the depths. Maybe they will appear in the upper layers as well. If a rookie adventurer who doesn't know is killed by a new species of monster, then that would be quite unlucky.
Fortunately, the changes of the new species have not yet reached the upper layers, so Wang Xiaoming and the others did not encounter them along the way.
A group of people came to the depths of the dungeon on the Somersault Cloud, which is the 51st floor. Although the Dragon's Nest starts from the 52nd floor, dragons have already started to appear on the 51st floor.
And the new exploration starts from the 51st floor.
To be honest, the 51st floor is no different from an amusement park to Wang Xiaoming. It can also be said to be a scoring ground. The monsters here have been plundered by Wang Xiaoming again and again, and I don't know how many have died. Wang Xiaoming was able to level up to LV6 thanks to the monsters here.
“Well then, starting from here, let's walk. Let's treat it as a picnic. While walking, observe the surrounding environment. I'll trouble you.”
“Leave it to us, Master!”
The head maid Leticia received Wang Xiaoming's order and started to act with her maids.
678. Earth Dragon: Stack Armor, Pass!
Starting from the 51st floor, because he wants to explore new species, Wang Xiaoming definitely can't go down and mow the grass. Wang Xiaoming stands in the team, mainly responsible for the central role, and the rest of the people spread out and start exploring the 51st floor.
Everyone has a copy of the monster encyclopedia in Wang Xiaoming's hand, and they use this monster encyclopedia to distinguish whether what they encounter is a new species.
The monsters on the 51st floor are mainly dragons, and the dragon monsters are mainly earth dragons. Their bodies are starting to become huge, and their attack power and defense have been significantly improved.
Of course, they are still not enough in front of them. Even Tina and Xiashi, the magic stone weapons in their hands can still cause damage to the earth dragons, it's just a matter of damage efficiency.
Wang Xiaoming uses the magic power energy cannon, which can directly cover an earth dragon with one shot, but their magic stone rifles can't do it, so they have to shoot slowly.
The leveling up still has to continue, but when they are fighting monsters, they try to avoid killing the monsters in one shot as much as possible.
Wang Xiaoming stays in the most central position of the entire 51st floor, Agulola and the other two act together, and Leticia acts with Tina and Xiashi.
They split into two directions and started to slowly wander around the 51st floor.
The area of the 51st floor is even larger than the area of Orario. It takes a very long time to slowly wander around the entire 51st floor.
After all, before, they were leveling up and farming monsters, and they would kill the monsters directly when they encountered them.
