After bidding farewell to Xin Mang and Baihua Binfen, Yang Yu and his team continued toward the direction from which the Magic Fluctuation emanated.
Near the Hall of Power, numerous adventurers had gathered, setting up camp around the maze, waiting for the maze monsters to refresh.
As soon as they reached the campsite, some Beastmen adventurers came over to strike up a conversation with Yang Yu.
A giant cake lay before them, and adventurers often fought individually, each vying for the biggest, sweetest piece, sometimes even coming to blows.
But if suddenly a character stronger than all of them attempted to take their cake, they would miraculously unite.
Even if they couldn't fully take back the cake, they at least wanted to bite off a large chunk.
Wild Warriors, Baihua Binfen, and other S and Quasi-S teams played the roles of those trying to steal the cake.
Although Baihua Binfen and Wild Warriors had left temporarily, they could return anytime. Small pools of teams collaborating could maximize their interests.
As for the division of spoils, the adventurer team had several solutions in place, and Yang Yu simply led his team over.
Without much hesitation, Yang Yu outright refused, taunting all the present adventurers with "your strength isn't enough, I'm not interested."
A person who attained the rank of A-Level adventurer was certainly not ordinary.
Hearing Yang Yu say this, they decided to temporarily hold back and try to persuade Yang Yu. After the strategy of the maze concluded, they would find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu's comment, "I think all the adventurers here combined might not even be able to defeat me," completely irked everyone present, who vowed to teach Yang Yu a serious lesson.
The result was that they indeed couldn't beat Yang Yu and his team; one by one, they were knocked to the ground, gazing up at the clear blue sky, questioning their lives.
After confirming all the Experience Value was secured, Yang Yu finally dropped his provoking demeanor, shrugged his shoulders, and said,
"I was just plainly stating the facts, didn't expect you would want to try. At least let us prepare.
Maybe there was something wrong with my earlier statement, my apologies. I've always been poor at speaking.
Don't worry about me stealing your treasures; I'm only interested in Epic or higher quality tools and equipment.
We encountered Baihua Binfen on the road and learned quite a bit about this Underground Maze.
Starting from the seventh floor, there are Maze Guardians who are likely to drop the items I want.
So, I'll say it again, don't worry about me taking your treasures, I might even help you defeat those monsters.
Would you mind letting me use a bit of your strength to clear a path to the seventh floor?"
Why didn't you say that important bit from the beginning?
If you wanted to prove your strength, you could have just picked a few formidable adventurers and had a battle!
We aren't fools, the coordination and skill level of the group during a fight is apparent; there was no need to experience it firsthand.
The adventurers present were skeptical about what Yang Yu said, but since they couldn't beat him when they joined forces, they ultimately had to agree to his proposal.
Yang Yu smoothly started chatting with the adventurers present.
When Yang Yu asked why they weren't guarding the monster refresh points of the maze, this group of adventurers finally began to let down their guard.
Yang Yu and his team were so strong, they couldn't possibly be nameless. Given that they had come into this maze, chances were high they were as Yang Yu said—only coveting high-quality treasures.
Since that was the case, they didn't have many conflicts of interest with him, and could even use him a little.
An adventurer explained the reason to Yang Yu.
"In a large dungeon like this, staying in the Underground Maze when it is about to refresh monsters could affect the time of the monster refresh.
Additionally, there is also a saying that the number of people in the maze during refresh can affect the strength of the monsters.
However, people believe more in 'If a large number of people are squatting at the monster refresh points during the refresh, good loot won't appear.'
To avoid those situations, everyone would retreat to the surface before the overall refresh of the maze monsters and quietly wait."
After finishing, the adventurer who was talking to Yang Yu also specifically urged him not to rush in now.
Although he thought those claims were somewhat mystical, Yang Yu wouldn't throw away the little trust he had just regained in front of so many people.
Before leaving the Hall of Power, many magicians had already set up Surveillance Magic on the first floor of the Hall of Power.
The refresh of the maze monsters always started from the lower levels and gradually moved up.
At least, that was the case for the vast majority of large Underground Mazes.
But there are always exceptions.
There even existed strange mazes that refreshed their monsters unpredictably.
The Hall of Power had been in existence for some time, and its refresh method seemed no different from other large Underground Mazes.
When monsters appeared on the first floor, it signaled that the refresh of this Underground Maze was complete.
Lining up neatly, Yang Yu and the one hundred fifty surrounding adventurers entered the Hall of Power.
The entrance to the Hall of Power was not long and narrow; on the contrary, it was quite short and spacious, with neatly arranged blue steps extending downwards.
The first floor of the Hall of Power was an endless grey plain where freshly refreshed monsters constantly roamed and fought each other.
Despite being from the same maze, they were devouring each other.
Moreover, these maze creatures, after devouring monsters from the same maze, would even level up.
Having not yet fully stepped onto the first floor of the Hall of Power, a deep voice echoed by their ears, repeating what they had heard from Xin Mang.
"If you desire power..."
A few adventurers heard that voice for the first time and were startled, while the majority initially ignored it. Knowing themselves well, they knew the last level was not their affair, so they began to clear the weaker monsters on the first floor.
Yang Yu raised his hand, stopping the prepared adventurers, indicating there was no need for trouble.
Bai Jin stood at the entrance to the maze, lifted her magic wand, and took a deep breath. In an instant, countless white magic arrays formed in front of her wand, with surrounding magic power rapidly converging towards the arrays.
"Frost Nova"
A piercing light swept out from the magic arrays Bai Jin constructed, and in just a moment, the moving maze monsters on the plain were completely annihilated.
The adventurers present were dumbfounded, completely dismissing any thoughts of acting against Yang Yu and his team.
