"Now, we must remain vigilant. As I said before, we adventurers will never take risks. Before entering the mine, everyone should check whether their equipment is complete and whether there is any abnormality or discomfort in the body.

The feeling. Make sure you bring enough food and water to make sure everything is safe."

The next morning, before the mine.

Arrow was very serious about telling everyone to take care of their belongings.

Coco, Brad, Buffy, and Cream also carefully checked their equipment, making sure that everyone had their weapons on, their bodies were in optimal condition, and they had enough water and food.

Everyone got up very early today in order to arrive at the gold mine in the morning and try their best to make it back and forth on the same day to avoid the embarrassment of staying out overnight.

Ai Luo watched everyone inspecting the equipment and nodded with satisfaction. But then, his eyes fell on Gu Liduo who didn't seem to be moving much.

"There are a lot of grains. Are your equipment ready? There is also food and drinking water."

The bard smiled and said: "I have brought it with me. My most important companion is this lute. As long as I have this lute, I will not have any problems even if I wander around the world."

The problem."

As he said that, he took out his guild nameplate from his pocket, looked at the iron piece with the mermaid water seal, then looked at his name and occupation on the back, smiled again, and stuffed it back into his pocket: "By the way, President

, are you sure you are holding these therapeutic aerosols alone? You won’t let us carry them?”

Ai Luo glanced at his pocket and found two bottles of therapeutic aerosols inside.

"Ah, let me hold it. You may not be able to use your hands to smash the bottle during the battle. But I am observing from behind, and there are obviously more things I can do."

Gu Liduo nodded, acknowledging this.

After everyone checked, they stepped into the mine again and gradually went deeper.

With the previous two experiences, Mermaid Song's mine exploration this time seems a little more familiar.

Ji Lian still walked at the front holding a torch, alert to any danger that might arise.

Only this time, Ai Luo directed everyone not to follow the path they had taken before, but to try to find some other routes and conduct a wider range of exploration.

As the temperature inside the mine increased, everyone replenished their water and ate some of the bread they had brought with them.

After some exploration, Airl was able to figure out some other routes. But unfortunately, even if Airl wanted to stay away from those roads with strange scratches and writings, the branch routes of the mines ahead always seemed to be there.

Guide their team into the abyss. Other forked roads either encounter landslides or face sudden cliffs, making it impossible to move forward at all.

After wandering around for several hours, Mermaid Song finally smelled the stench of feces and urine that filled the air.

"Huh... there are many grains. Next we will enter the area of ​​bloody worms. You must be careful and don't stay too far away from us."

Ai Luo warned, Gu Liduo nodded with a smile, picked up the lute in his hand and played it slightly as a sign of approval.

After being informed, Ai Luo took out the nose plugs and gave two to each person. After everyone had plugged their noses, he took out a box from his arms and opened it. The bloody beads inside exuded a stench that was no less than the stench in the air, but these

The taste can undoubtedly ensure everyone's safety along the way.

Covered by the smell of bloody beads, everyone once again stepped into the area of ​​bloody worms. Ai Luo motioned to everyone to pick some fat bloody worms from the ground and put them into cloth bags. They tied the holes and hung them on their waists before moving on.

No matter how many times, the feeling of such densely packed insects still made Airl a little nervous.

Fortunately, under the cover of the smell, those bloody insects seemed to no longer attack the torches in everyone's hands.

The bloody bug area quickly passed through, and the temperature in the air began to gradually cool down. The smell of moisture hit my face, as if it was a lake full of water vapor not long ago.

Ai Luo knew that this also meant that everyone was about to enter the territory of those corpse eaters.

He closed the bloody bead, removed the smell and put it in his arms. Holding his breath, he directed the team to move forward slowly...

Walking... walking... walking...

Those corpse eaters have no visual organs, so Airl can light up the torches as much as he wants. Although the torches in the team illuminate the entire tunnel brightly, the president is still wary and observes the surroundings vigilantly, especially the ceiling.

I'm afraid that something is appearing on the top of my head right now.

Keep walking...walking...walking...

The surrounding walls became more and more humid, and the temperature that had only become cool gradually began to feel a little chilly.

The mine has also begun to become narrower and narrower. From being able to allow two people to walk side by side, it has become a situation where even one person has to turn slightly sideways to walk.

but……

What's going on with this humidity and coldness?

Poof——

Suddenly! The torch at the front of the team suddenly went out! The sudden extinguishing of this light made Airl's spirit tremble!

"What's going on? There are enemies?!"

He asked, but found that his voice was beating repeatedly in the empty cave, and the echo spread far away. It seemed that there was a long, long way ahead of the cave, with no end in sight.

But soon, he received a response from Cream in front of him: "It's okay. I didn't notice that my torch was burned out. It was so hot that I let go of it."

call……

Arrow clutched his chest and began to laugh at himself for his worries.

but……

The torches were burned out, but the corpse eaters from last time still didn't appear.

What's going on? Don't these corpse eaters live near the bloody bugs? In other words, the food of these corpse eaters is not just bloody bugs?

Ai Luo calmed down and subconsciously touched the pocket containing the therapeutic aerosol.

He raised his head and saw that the cave was so narrow that he could reach out and touch the ceiling. If he were to be attacked from the front and back by those corpse eaters in a place like this, the danger would be great.

However, in such a good ambush location, the corpse eaters still did not appear...

"stop!"

Cream stopped the team and squatted down to check.

Ai Luo from behind asked: "What's going on?"

Cream in front thought for a while and said: "I found human bones. Well... only half an arm, and it was gnawed. The problem is... this arm is very fresh, it doesn't look like it was hundreds of years ago.

It’s just left here.”

There is no need to elaborate, Airl certainly understands what this means.

I haven’t heard the mayor of Round Cheese say that anyone is missing in Pelican Town recently, and there are no abnormalities in several nearby towns. In other words, the poor man most likely entered the mine from other places... or

Said that it was dragged in from another entrance or exit by something.

Ai Luo exhaled and said slowly: "Stay vigilant. Now we are in good condition and not tired. We can continue to explore. We have observed carefully along the way and did not see any other branches of this passage, so it is best to

Let’s look forward.”

Cream nodded and continued to lead the team forward.

However, that hand was like a guide. The further we walked, the weirder everything in front of us started to become.

Various graffiti once again began to appear on the damp walls. However, unlike the previous weird words that seemed to be carved with fingernails, these pictures had a very neat and distorted feel.

Each text is well arranged and combined, without any overlapping or overlapping. It’s just that these texts are so ancient that Airl can’t read anything at all.

The further you walk, the more words appear.

These fonts are like twisted silk threads, creating a unique pattern and beauty in the constant twisting and spiraling.

As we walked further, the originally uneven rock walls and ceiling began to become smoother. The ground under our feet was no longer the pitted mine, but a carefully polished marble floor.

In addition to text, some pictures also began to appear on the walls.

It seemed to be describing an ancient and magnificent city. The houses all built with exquisite geometric figures were now turning into patterns before Ai Luo's eyes.

This is really wonderful, isn't it?

It was so wonderful that Airl almost forgot that he was currently in an unknown depth underground. It was so wonderful that Airl felt that he could plunge into this ancient and wonderful city to explore its secrets! Even... he could

Just sink in...

~~You are allowed to hear my voice~~

~~Possess the character of injustice, anger, tenacity, and intelligence~~

~~Kind person, you were born with a destiny, and you will also bring the greatest light to this world~~

Snapped--!

Suddenly, Ai Luo felt a sudden pain on his face.

He woke up instantly, covering his still swollen cheeks, and looked at Brad in front of him in a daze. Then, he looked at his right hand that had obviously just slapped him.

"What...what are you doing?! Why did you hit me suddenly!"

Brad looked at Ai Luo nervously and said with a little panic: "President? President, are you still awake? Do you still remember who you are?!"

Ai Luo looked confused: "I asked you why you hit me. What do you mean I'm not awake?"

Coco from behind said: "Brother President... Just now, you looked so scary. You were sneering all the time, looking at the words on the wall with scary eyes, and you didn't respond no matter how I talked to you. You...

You won’t get frostbite on your brain, right?”

Arrow's mouth was half open. He looked at Brad in front of him, then at Coco behind him, and quickly shook his head.
Chapter completed!
