The guild is as busy as ever.

At this time, money naturally comes faster.

But don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t mean that Mermaid Song makes more money. For this mission, Mermaid Song’s only gain is the two gold coins exchanged for the half-gold and half-flesh heart. Although Ai Luo feels that

I should get more...but thinking about the first mission, I'd better make some adjustments first.

What is truly happy is the entire Pelican Town.

As soon as everyone returned to the guild, they immediately saw Mayor Round Cheese and several townspeople talking and laughing around the counter over there. As the housekeeper, Napa had a face full of resentment. When he saw Ai over there,

When Luo and others came back, the cat immediately dropped the pen rolled on its tail and waved its paws: "I won't write anymore! The president is back. If you have any questions, go to the rightful owner! Over there

Yes, come here quickly! Don’t delay my sleep!”

Ai Luo smiled and asked his family members to rest and adjust. He put down the things in his hands and handed them to Coco and walked behind the counter.

Round Cheese's face smiled like a cake filled with cream. He cheerfully led other townspeople to entrust various tasks. Afterwards, he kept saying thank you to Arrow.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Originally, the army came to Pelican Town to be stationed in Pelican Town, which made the town a little nervous. But once Mermaid Song showed its friendship with the military, the town that was also friendly with Mermaid Song could naturally benefit from this tense situation.

Free from emotions.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the army is, it is still composed of people. Since it is people, there is naturally business.

During the three days when the army was stationed, those soldiers who were not on duty would naturally stroll around the town, buy something, eat and drink. Although the town did not have any special entertainment, the town was located in a remote area and the surrounding environment

It's pretty good, plus it provides some drinks and food, so it's a good place to relax.

It is precisely because of this that the market in the town, which had begun to gradually become quiet, is now bustling again. People are busy, and with more money being transferred, there will naturally be more work. In the final analysis, this is all because of

Mermaid Song's friendly relationship with the army, the radiation effect brought about by this is naturally enough to make the mayor and townspeople smile.

He quickly handled all the requests and posted them on the bulletin board. After seeing off the mayor and others, Ai Luo stretched out and rubbed his shoulders.

When Napa saw that everyone was finally gone, she yawned loudly, lay down on Airl's head, and said, "How was the mission this time? How much did you earn?"

Ai Luo sighed, smiled helplessly and said: "Not much, only two gold coins. However, the things we encountered are quite troublesome."

Napa: "Trouble?"

Ai Luo nodded, and then told Napa briefly and clearly what happened in the underground mine.

After it was over, he asked: "Do you know what this thing with a lizard lower body and an upper body full of tentacles with eyes is? Although the museum illustrated book I saw in the school library itself is not complete.

, but the appearance of this creature is really strange."

The cat's ears drooped slightly, and its tail swayed from side to side with some hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, the cat finally shook his head slightly, and simply laid his head on Arrow's hat, saying: "This is indeed strange. I don't know that there is such a monster... But, in this world,

There are already many types of Warcraft. I have sealed myself for so many years, so it would not be surprising if new varieties appear during this time."

After pausing for a moment, Napa stretched out her paw and patted Ai Luo's forehead gently, and said: "Hey, have you thought about how to deal with it? Since the pool will suddenly drop, there is no guarantee that this kind of monster will not happen next time.

Appear in the environment where you hunt corpse eaters."

Mentioning the corpse eater, Ai Luo also frowned, looking very embarrassed: "Speaking of the corpse eater, I thought I already knew it very well, but now that I think about it, the mystery of this kind of monster is nothing compared to

We encountered few new monsters this time."

"When I first saw it, this kind of monster made a living by eating bloody insects. It seemed that they showed surprise after eating human flesh for the first time. But in this way, these corpse eaters have been

Who created it in the first place? Judging from the evolution of corpse eaters, they must have been human beings at the beginning, but what happened to these human beings? In the end, they became this state..."

"In addition, the Corpse Eater King can make sounds when fighting the Tentacle Monster. Why is this? If the Tentacle Monster's muting effect can only block the sounds emanating from human mouths, then why is this function needed in the first place?

Exist? After all, there are very few humans in that abyss, right?"

While asking questions by himself, Ai Luo was thinking about it. After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head and said——

"The Tentacle Monster had no desire to attack the Corpse Eater King at first, but it just didn't want to be robbed of its prey. The Corpse Eater King also had no hostility toward the Tentacle Monster at first, and was purely targeting the puppets that had attacked it before. Later, both parties

Hostility and mutual attacks only arise after disagreements occur. But in this case, these two kinds of monsters should have never had any disputes before we entered. They each live in their own fields and have nothing to do with each other."

"In this case, it can be explained that the silence effect of the Tentacle Monsters does not have an effect on the Corpse Eater King. Because they are not enemies themselves, there is no need for the Tentacle Monsters to target the Corpse Eater King. And from the moment the two sides fight,

It can be seen from the fact that the Tentacle Monster aims its eyes at the light-emitting organ of the Corpse Eater King that they have no experience of fighting each other before."

"But, if this is really the case..."

Having said this, Ai Luo's face suddenly became gloomy, and the smile that originally hung on the corner of his mouth disappeared.

Napa noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Ai Luo thought about it again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his idea before he nodded and said: "Since the attack method of the Tentacle Monster does not target the Corpse Eater King, there are only two possibilities."

"First, under the huge mouth of the abyss, there is a certain passage leading to other human gathering areas. In this case, it can explain the origin of the human corpses found in the pit before. And because it is to attack humans, so

Only tentacle monsters have the power to prevent humans from making sounds."

"And the second point..."

"Underneath this tentacle monster, overlapping its chassis, there is a more powerful existence. And this existence is an existence that can make sounds or languages, and relies on this ability to generate powerful power. That's right.

In order to deal with this more terrifying existence, the Tentacle Monster evolved the power of silence."

Napa's ears suddenly stood up, as if she was very surprised. The cat leaned slightly towards the front of the hat: "Hey, why are you so sure that that existence will be more powerful? Couldn't it be the prey of this kind of tentacled monster?

?"

Ai Luo smiled bitterly and said: "If the thing that exists deeper in the abyss mouth happens to be the prey of this tentacled beast, how could it run up there? We found that its location is not far from the entrance of the abyss mouth.

Not far away, which means it has been climbing up for a long time. If there really was a sudden increase in prey, how could it possibly climb up? It would be better to move deeper. Thinking about it this way, only that existence suddenly changed

It becomes stronger, or the number suddenly becomes larger, which is enough to squeeze the living space of this tentacle monster, and then it is forced to climb up."

"Although I don't know about Tentacle Monsters, a creature must survive without departing from the most basic behavioral logic. For Monsters that have no concept of material exchange, their economic interests should be the amount of food and protection from natural enemies.

When one's own economic interests are damaged, there are two reactions. One is to snatch it back, and the other is to stop the loss and retreat in time to prevent greater damage. Therefore, from an economic perspective, I prefer

The banning effect that favors Tentacle Monsters comes from the second possibility."

After listening to Ai Luo's analysis, Napa could only say she was not convinced.

However, analysis alone is not enough, there must be solutions.

"So Ariel, next time we go to the mine, I will come with you..."

Before Napa could finish speaking, Ariel continued to reach out and touch the cat's fur, and said with a smile: "Did you forget? The vice president will continue to be stationed at the guild headquarters."

Although he had said it so many times, Napa couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he still had not obtained the consent of his colleagues: "Then do you have a way to deal with this monster?"

Ai Luo curled his lips: "There is a way...but I can't say. But I already know a little bit about the attack method of this thing. Maybe it can solve our problem."

Napa: "Attack method?"

Arrow: "It will first use its tentacles to wrap around its target, and then look into the target's eyes to make it faint. And I found that when Polyester turned its head away from it, its movements suddenly became

Rough, it turned into a direct attack. And from the beginning before we lit the torch, this monster didn't seem to notice us. In other words, this monster is different from blind people like corpse eaters who don't need light at all. It needs to attack the target.

It’s light. And when you can’t see the target’s eyes, you won’t tie the tentacles, but just beat them up.”

Napa thought for a while: "Well...it can indeed be analyzed in this way, but what can this really mean?"

Arrow: "Prove that you can't look at it when fighting it, and try not to expose it to light, and attack in the dark."

Hearing this, Napa was so funny and angry. She shook her head and said: "That's nonsense! I'll forget it. You humans can't look at the target when attacking the target, and you don't want light? Do you think your guild is like this?

Good configuration?"

Ai Luo just smiled at this. Although it can't be said that there is a specific lineup, if you think about it carefully, maybe there is a way... But the biggest problem at the moment is not the Tentacle Monster, but the one below the Tentacle Monster

There may be something even more terrifying.

Seeing that Airl remained silent, Napa swung her tail listlessly and said, "I haven't thought about how to deal with the tentacled beast, but a more powerful thing came from deeper... Ariel, I think this gold mine is getting better and better."

This is getting more and more weird. Are you sure you want to continue exploring?"

In fact, there is no need for Napa to say that Ai Luo has been thinking about this matter for the past two days.

Originally, I encountered corpse eaters when I wasn't strong enough, but I couldn't successfully kill them and bring back one or two gold nuggets. When I was strong enough to deal with them, I discovered that not all of these corpse eaters had gold nugget hearts.

And now the more we explore gold mines, the more we realize the dangers involved. Is it worth it to continue exploring gold mines?

But if you give up exploring the gold mine, how can you earn a thousand gold coins in three years?

in addition……

At this point, Arrow began to doubt the reliability of the source of his gold mine information.

Such a dangerous gold mine is obviously not a place where ordinary adventurers can step into casually.

But in this case, when I first learned about the gold mine, the messenger didn't look very panicked. The man looked like an ordinary farmer, without any strong fighting power, and there should be no one behind him.

What a powerful force.

But in this case, how did this person know about the gold mine?

How did you safely dig out the piece of gold as a sample from the chests of those powerful and terrifying corpse eaters and present it to His Majesty?

The more he thought about the mystery, the more Aero started to feel his head hurt.
