Ch 329: The Heavy Bow Isn’t My Limit, It’s The Bow’s Limit

After breakfast, everyone packed up their overnight things. Phia put everything into extradimensional space, and everyone prepared to continue descending to the lower levels.

“Everyone, cheer up! Let’s get going!”

Bal stood in front of everyone, boosting morale. After Phia cast Anti-Gravity Magic on him, he continued to break through downwards.

“Yselle.”

Nia seized the opportunity to chat with Yselle while descending.

“What’s wrong?”

“What do you like?”

“Why are you asking?”

“Nothing, I just want to know your preferences. If you really can come to Guangyue Town to live, we can prepare some things you like.”

“Like that, let me think.”

Yselle thought for a while, then she began to talk about the things she liked.

“Flowers, Red Irises. These are my favorite flowers.”

“Red Irises? Are there really such flowers?”

“Yes, in the era I lived in before, there was a cluster of red-petaled Irises where I lived as a child.”

“I see, then I’ll look for them. Anything else?”

“If possible, I’d like to try making clothes.”

“That’s easy, you can ask Latina then. Her craftsmanship is deeply loved by my older brother.”

“Hehehe, that sounds good.”

“Anything else?”

“If possible, I want to keep a pet, not a particularly cute one, just one as smart as Xiao Jiu.”

“Simple, I’ll get Archie to get you one.”

“Great.”

“Anything else?”

“Um, that’s all for now.”

“Please don’t hesitate.”

“I know, I won’t be polite.”

After the conversation, there was silence, after all, they were getting closer and closer to the lower levels.

“It seems to have slowed down, what’s going on?”

Nia floated to Phia’s side to ask, and Phia wasn’t quite sure either.

“I don’t know either, maybe Bal encountered some trouble. I’ll go and take a look, you guys wait here for a while.”

Phia left everyone on the 63rd floor and went alone with Bal to the 65th floor.

“Bal, stop for a moment.”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Bal dispelled the Projected Greatsword in his hand, and he landed on the ground. Phia landed and walked to Bal’s side.

“It feels a little slow, what happened?”

Bal scratched his head.

“It’s nothing serious, it’s just that the further down we go, the harder the floor becomes, and it takes more effort for me to break through.”

“I see, do you need help?”

“How do you plan to help?”

“Of course, blow it up directly.”

“Try it first.”

Bal jumped up, he jumped to the ground of the 64th floor. Phia came to Bal’s side, and she threw a Magic Lance down towards the cave entrance Bal had broken through. There was only a sound of an explosion, and after the dust settled, Phia went down to the 65th floor.

“Wow, it’s that hard?”

Phia looked at the ground, only a shallow dent, she could understand what Bal meant by hard.

“See, I told you so.”

“It seems we need a more efficient breakthrough method.”

“Oh? Do you have a way?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet, let’s get them down first, and we’ll figure it out together.”

“Okay, I’ll go call them.”

Bal reduced his gravity and jumped to the 63rd floor.

“Come down with me, we need to figure something out.”

“What happened?”

Yselle stepped forward to ask, Bal shook his head.

“No, it’s just that the floor is getting harder and harder the further down we go. If we want to go down faster, we need a more efficient way to get to the lower levels.”

“Oh, oh, I see.”

After a while, Bal brought everyone to Phia’s side.

“Okay, let’s figure it out together.”

Bal sat on a nearby wooden box to rest, it looked really strenuous.

“Can’t Miss Phia help Mr. Bal blow it up?”

Yselle was the first to offer her idea, but this idea had already been mentioned by Phia.

“Look at that shallow pit over there, that’s what I just made with an ordinary Magic Lance.”

“Um… I’m sorry.”

Yselle blushed and took a couple of steps back. After a while, Nia looked up.

“Grey, what’s the maximum force of your shot?”

“You shouldn’t ask me that, you should consider the bow’s load-bearing capacity. My own bow is reinforced, but it’s specialized for accuracy and long-range shots at most. What you’re talking about requires a Heavy Bow.”

“I’ll ask Bal.”

Phia went to Bal’s side. Bal was lying on a box.

“Older Brother, I have a question for you.”

“What?”

“What’s the limit of your draw strength?”

“It depends on the bow, there shouldn’t be any bow in the world that I can’t draw.”

“Then would you try using a Heavy Bow to launch Sister-in-law’s Explosive Lance to blow up the floor?”

“So, the question is, where do we get a bow?”

“Can’t you project one? Replace it if it breaks.”

“I’ll try.”

Bal jumped off the box, he projected a Heavy Bow a little taller than himself and walked to Phia’s side.

“I’ll try Nia’s method, you guys go to the 64th floor and wait, to avoid being affected.”

“Okay.”

Everyone moved to the 64th floor, Bal stood at his cave entrance, he took the Explosive Lance Phia had formed and put it on the bow, drew it, aimed casually and shot the lance.

“Wow! So loud!”

As smoke and debris spurted from the cave entrance, Philia, who was farthest from the opening, was startled, and the small hawk in Philia’s arms burrowed completely into Philia’s arms and began to tremble.

“Cough… wow, it’s so powerful.”

Bal, choked by the dust, was covered in soot. He wiped his face with his sleeve and looked at Phia.

“Did you increase the power of this thing?”

“No.”

“Then why is it making such a big noise?”

“You ask me? I thought you did it on purpose.”

“Forget it, I’ll go down and take a look first.”

Bal dispelled the Projected Heavy Bow, and he jumped from the cave entrance to the 65th floor.

“….This is too fierce.”

Almost all the boxes on the 65th floor were destroyed by the explosion, and the ground was covered with debris. A large hole in the ground not far from Bal brought him a sense of relief.

“The result is still good.”

Bal returned to the 64th floor to report the situation, Nia was very happy, she reached out to Grey.

“See, I told you my method was good, pay up.”

“Sigh.”

Grey sighed, he took out two silver coins and gave them to Nia. Bal was puzzled by the two people’s actions, and Phia came over to explain.

“Their mentality is really good.”

“Okay, okay, don’t sigh like an old man.”

“Okay, then I’ll hug my dear wife.”

“Get away, get away, you’re covered in dust and you still dare to hug me.”

Yselle came over at this time, she looked at Bal.

“Mr. Bal, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s nothing, it’s fine if you don’t mind.”

“I won’t mind, after all, this place is no longer the glorious country it once was.”

“You’re very open-minded, that’s good.”

“It’s what you guys said, just look forward.”

“That’s good too.”

After Nia and Grey finished their business, they came to Bal’s side.

“How is it, my method is good, right?”

“It’s indeed better, much faster than using a Greatsword to bash it, it’s just a bit noisy.”

“There’s no way around that.”

“Father.”

Philia walked over with Xiao Jiu in her arms, Xiao Jiu was still trembling in Philia’s arms.

“What’s wrong?”

“The noise was too loud just now, it scared Xiao Jiu.”

“Give her to Mother.”

Phia crouched in front of Philia, she reached out to stroke Xiao Jiu’s back, the purple light in her hands indicated that she was using Soothing Magic. After a while, Xiao Jiu finally recovered.

“This isn’t a long-term solution.”

“Then let Xiaoyue take Philia and Xiao Jiu to the upper floors to wait for our news.”

“Okay, I’ll protect Philia and Xiao Jiu well.”

Xiaoyue picked up Philia, she carried Philia and jumped to the upper level, the others followed Bal and continued to descend.

“Okay, let’s blow it up!”
