After storing the magic stones and herbs in my magic bag I continued moving forward I was hoping to find the way to the second floor it was really difficult to navigate the first floor even with a map as there were no differentiating factors as there was only a huge and uniform caravan so I could only predict the stairs to the second floor through the distance given on the maps.
After walking for 10 more minutes I finally spotted stares going downwards on my left side so I decided to run to the stairs there were no monsters in the vicinity it seemed that newbies are grinding for money on the first floor, The second floor should naturally have more monsters and less people trying to get money from them as it was dangerous then the first floor so newbies who are highest in numbers don't enter the second floor but I went down the steps with confidence as I felt no challenge on first floor other than the first raptors that surprised me, second floor was same as first one with large caravan it was almost four kilometres wide so it was quite big but I couldn't detect any more monsters so I decided to advance forward while continuosly using mana search spell drained myana I have mastered the spell at quite high degree so the amount of mana could be recovered in less than minute so I continued the use of mana search spell in minute or two after strolling for 10 minutes I detected 3 slimes and 4 raptors while raptors were on left side of the Caravan slimes were chilling on the right side there were even 4 monsters in the front that I don't no about they gave entirely different feeling from all other monsters that I have encountered before so I decided to approach them first after they came into my view I couldn't help but be taken aback all the monsters were wolves bigger than she remembered from the old world and with more shark teeths, remembering the animals of dog family have hard time climbing anything so I used my trusty pit-fall spell and to my surprise two wolves detected the spell and leaped out of the spells range while other three couldn't react in time and fell to there doom as I have modified this spell and made it deadlier by adding spikes made up of earth down in the pitfall, it uses more mana and is quite slow, so I think that was reason other two older and experienced wolves were able to dodge my spells and they smelled the air detecting my smell both of them sprinted towards me while growling with rage as both lunged towards me from the opposite direction I felt they could be able to continue there attack even if I dodged.
"{Energy barrier}"
I chanted as a barrier in dome shape that covered me and all impact and energy behind it was absorbed leaving both wolves suspended in the air understanding that this is my chance I used {earth spikes} spell and impaled both of them in one fluid spell I could see surprised expression on both of there faces but they couldn't even react, as my spell tore through there spine. Killing them instantly, with these two and three in the pitfall I have 5 additional magic stones I don't know what was special organ other than this magic stones that could be sold so I decided to just store there magic stones after I was done storing I walked towards the direction where I have detected the raptors after searching for a while, I found them without much trouble and killing them was easy as long as I kept my guard up I was able to slaughter them without much trouble as I killed two with the sneak attack and dealing with two at the same time isn't that difficult after collecting there magic stones and heart I searched for the slimes finding them was not difficult because of there slow movement speed, so after killing them with the fireball strategy I collected there magic stones by the time I was done with collection it was already afternoon I concluded it was enough for now and started returning put of Dungeon I also killed two more slimes on the way back and found small niche of denish grass that was likely overlooked by the adventurers because could only spotted from specific angle and I was lucky to find it, with this 200gm I had 700gm of denish herb, 7 raptors heart and magic stones, magic stones from 10 slimes and 5 magic stones from the mysterious wolf monster that wasn't in catalogue that described monsters of first two levels so it was surprising monster that I encountered, after listing all the things I got from my first dungeon dive I have seen the cost of raptor raptor magic stone was 3 gold coins while raptors heart was 1 gold gold coins slime magic stone had 2 gold coins as a reward aside from Five additional hearts, even without 5 magic stones from wolves I already have 44 gold coins, I was extremely happy with such a gains in first dungeon dive. Dungeon dive is way more dangerous then normal D-rank quests so gain is also bigger then normal quest though D-rank adventurers are allowed to go till 5th floor it is rare for them to even enter 3rd floor so material from 3rd floor is considered high demand, the reason I could gain this much money could be attributed to my my mana search spell it is generally difficult to spot monsters that effectively, after relishing in sense of satisfaction I returned to the guild.
I approached the lady at the exchange counter and she had a petite build with surprising blue hairs and eyes .
"Hello, I would like to exchange magic stones for the forest money please "
I greeted her politely, she nodded with a bored look on her face , I unloaded all magic stones on the counter her eyes widened briefly but began identifying them after she was done identifying.
"That's quite the howl, for the first day, you must've been extremely lucky finding this many monsters."
She said with look of envy as she began to look for money.
"Excuse me but I also have raptors hearts so we're should I place them?"
I asked before she was done processing the reward, she looked at me with annoyed expression.
"You even got heart huh, place them in this tray."
She said as pointed towards clean tray I unloaded hearts in the tray one by one delicately.
"Seven perfect hearts, so you get total of 44 gold coins, is there anything else?"
She asked looking at me with expectations.
I nodded and unloaded 5 hearts from the wolves, her eyes widened .
"Were did you find these?"
She asked in serious tone, I was taken aback by her seriousness, but I decided to reply.
"Oh they are from wolf monsters, I encountered them on second floor."
I told her truth as I didn't have anything to hide she mumbled something about what those wolves were doing on such a early floors and how the little girl defeated them.
"This would be 5 gold per magic stone, and the information that you brought is also valuable so I will add about 35 gold coins more, is it acceptable?"
She asked with with of hurried tone.
"Yes, it's enough."
I said with look of relief.
"Did you notice anything strange down there?"
The exchange counter girl asked with worried tone.
"Yeah, this wolf monster weren't in catalogue that described the monsters on first two floors so I was bit taken aback, but I didn't notice anything else."
I said trying to remember if I have forgot something but shook my head.
"I see! Here is your reward."
The girl said as she handed me total of 79 gold coins I left the guild happily not noticing look of panic on the face of exchange counter employees.
