Chapter 19: Getting Rich Together is Always Kinder Than Getting Rich Alone(1/2)
"Are you in the volcanic zone?"
The short city man asked.
But Aero didn't know whether this judgment was correct. The smell of feces and urine was indeed very similar to the smell of sulfur, but it was not hot now, and it was still so humid... It didn't feel like it was near a volcanic zone.
Coco took a step towards the wall, and she reached out her hand to help the wall, but the moment her hand pressed down on the wall...
A soft, sticky feeling spread into her mind through her palms.
"Ah ah--!"
The sudden scream shocked the entire team! Ai Luo turned around, and Coco suddenly got behind him and pointed at the wall!
The light of the flame was full of flicker and instability, and Aero could only see something that seemed to be scratching along the wall.
"Careful! There's something on the wall!"
No need for Arrow to remind him, Brad was already on alert the moment Coco screamed. William also instantly pulled out the two daggers from his waist and held them in his hands. A group of people gathered together back to back, alert to the surroundings.
.
They held their breath and stood ready.
But wherever the firelight shone, there was no movement.
The humidity in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and the smell of feces and urine is trying to bury its way into people's noses...
It was at this time...
"Wow--!"
The short city man who was protected in the center suddenly screamed! Everyone turned around and saw a huge wriggling dark red insect stuck on his exposed face!
"Do not move!"
Cream hurriedly came over and swung his sword to kill the insect, but the short city man swayed because he was in too much pain and fell to the ground rolling in pain, avoiding Cream's dagger.
"Don't move! Hey!"
Seeing the city people rolling on the ground, Ji Lian suddenly panicked and had no idea what to do. Coco on the side quickly stretched out a small branch, and the undead soldiers guarding him quickly rushed up with a lunge! In terms of speed, the undead soldiers may not have the same speed.
It was quick, but it held the rusty sword firmly. It paused briefly for less than half a second and then immediately swung the sword out. While the short city man kept rolling, he accurately stabbed the bug on his face, and then picked it up.
Throw it to the ground.
"Drink!"
Brad followed up with a hammer, and the moment the hammer came down, the bugs exploded like a flesh bomb, splashing all over the people around him. In an instant, everyone felt as if they had just been fished out of a cesspit, and they were full of blood.
A disgusting taste.
The short city man was still screaming because of the pain, but the tall city man immediately took out the healing potion from his waist, poured a little on his face, and then gave him a drink. Soon, the things on his face were turning.
The swelling gradually subsided and his expression calmed down.
"What on earth is this?"
Brad held the hammer and looked a little nervous.
But rather than asking what these things were, Arrow was more concerned about how this insect attacked the people in the city.
Just with a thought, several people raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at the ceiling above their heads...
Originally, the ceiling was thought to be rock, but now it is filled with many insects.
Densely dense... densely packed!
The entire ceiling is! Not only the entire ceiling, but also the walls on the side, and also on the floor! Under the light of the torch, those huge bugs that look as bright red as flesh and blood are constantly piling up and swarming in!
"Burn with fire!"
The tall city man raised the torch in his hand and waved it at the insects crawling over, but the insects seemed not to be afraid of the flames at all, and continued to crawl over after extinguishing the torch!
Since flames don't work, then just kill them one by one just like before!
"Brad! Pay attention to defense! Try to protect the important parts of your head and face! (Fairy language) Parfait! Apply the fragrance on Brad's shield! Coco, let your undead soldiers kill any of Brad's bugs
!”
Brad raised his shield to protect his face, and Buffy immediately circled the shield. The rich fragrance immediately became a fresh smell in the smelly flesh and blood. The bloody insects immediately smelled this smell.
He jumped towards Brad's shield and jumped up one by one. Soon three of them were stuck to his shield.
The undead soldiers immediately attacked, and the rusty sword in their hands was quickly struck out. In an instant, the plasma exploded again, which also immediately covered up the scent.
Parfait flew out in a circle and used its scent again. Brad withstood the impact of the bloody bugs and swung the hammer to smash the bloody bugs crawling over from the ground. Cream circled around the crowd, targeting those who were not so affected by the scent.
Once the attracted bloody bugs get close, they will immediately become explosive matter under his short sword.
Round, round, and round.
The plasma on everyone's bodies has been covered in countless layers, and the stench alone is enough to make people faint!
Seeing that Parfait's power to spread out the fragrance was getting weaker and weaker, Cream and Coco were almost out of breath.
"Damn it, it's never over!"
But just after Ai Luo stepped on a bloody bug and once again splashed the smell of feces and urine on his legs...
Those bloody insects that were still desperately attacking the team gradually became less crazy.
With the next few rounds of fighting, the desire of these bloody insects to attack became less and less. After ten minutes, they showed the feeling that they had lost all interest in the crowd and began to mind themselves along the way.
The wall wandered, gradually stopped, and became motionless.
"How is this going?"
The tall city man's body had been dyed blood red, and his exposed face still had a slightly human color.
Ai Luo looked at the plasma all over his face and body, then felt the indescribable stench around him, and made a decision at the moment——
"We will withdraw immediately, now!"
"Withdraw? This is not allowed."
The tall city man took out a bottle of potion from his belt again and opened it. Coco, who had magic affinity, immediately felt a wave of water vapor——
"We haven't achieved anything yet, so leaving now is against my rules!"
Unfortunately, before he could pour the potion on his head, Cream pressed his hand faster and said with a smile: "Stop 'purifying', we are finally contaminated with these smells, do you hope
Are these things going to splash all over you again?"
The tall city man snorted: "Then we can't leave like this!"
"No, we have to leave. Have you forgotten the conditions I agreed with you before I came here? When the conditions are met, we will stop exploring immediately and return immediately!"
Looking into Ji Lian's eyes, the tall city man seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, put away the bottle of purification potion, and reached out to pick up the short city man.
Once they decide to leave, everyone will definitely leave much faster than when they came.
He moved forward quickly along the markers. While retreating, Airl was also alert to see if there were any other monsters around him that would suddenly rush out.
Fortunately, a glimmer of light appeared in the cave in front of him. When the sky reappeared in front of everyone, Airl couldn't help but take a deep breath...
Well, I was almost knocked out by the smell of my own body.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the day had passed unknowingly in the mine.
Back at the camp, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. This adventure was really as embarrassing as it was. Even though she was disguised as a man, Airl still hoped that he could take a shower as soon as possible and
Wash yourself clean from this stinky body.
On the other hand, the two city dwellers each took a bottle of purifying potion. As soon as they poured it out, the blood stains on their bodies disappeared. They looked as if they had just come out of the bathhouse, with no smell at all.
Coco: "Brother President... you... why are you looking at me like this again? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, we have to continue studying hard after we go back."
"Comfort" Hao Keke, Ai Luo turned his head and saw that the two city dwellers had already carried their bags and left. Ji Lian ran over, glanced at everyone with a smile, and said with a smile:
"Congratulations everyone, the mission is completed! Go home and take a shower. The big guys don't want to be with smelly people like us, so they take a step first. I'll take a step first too. Goodbye! Little fishes."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Ai Luo put his hands on his hips and said——
"What do you mean by returning immediately if certain conditions are met?"
Ji Lian scratched his cheek, rolled his eyes in a circle, and said with a smile: "Haha, after this adventure, I finally understand. Your guild is a complete layman when it comes to things like exploration, right? Each one of them.
You are not even prepared at all. Whether you should move forward or retreat completely depends on your feeling as the president. Moreover, you seem to be a guy who can't do anything except yelling? Haha, it's really funny. A person who doesn't know martial arts, doesn't
A man who knows magic is actually the president of an adventurers guild? Hahaha!"
After saying that, Cream didn't seem to want to continue talking to Ai Luo, so she picked up her bag and turned to leave.
"If you don't tell me, I will catch up with those two city dwellers now and ask them to come directly to us at Mermaid Song if they have any problems in the future, without having to go through an intermediary like you. You take two gold coins, and I only need one gold coin.
I’m afraid it won’t be much worse than you in terms of cost performance.”
Ai Luo didn't intend to let Jim leave like this, so even if he was using strong words, he had to let him stay and speak clearly.
Sure enough, William shook his head, turned around, continued to look at Ai Luo with a contemptuous attitude, and sneered: "Oh, threatening me?"
To be continued...
