The monster's corpse seemed to suddenly have an inexplicable vitality. It began to distort the shape of its joints and bones, completely ignoring the shape of its joints and bones, and slowly crawled toward the central pool like a giant worm.

The corpse eaters in the distance did not attack. On the contrary, after seeing the deformation of the corpses of the two corpse eaters, the corpse eaters seemed to feel something, and their movements began to become panicked.

They all ran towards other potholes around them. Within a moment, they were all gone.

The pool is filled with darkness.

The luminous moss on the wall looks like stars, but it's really just like stars.

No light can penetrate this dark pool, allowing people to see clearly what is going on inside.

The corpses of the corpse-eaters rolled over, their bones twisted, and they crushed each other. Little by little, they approached the pool. Soon, the two corpses blended in as if they belonged to the pool. Slowly, slowly

...disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The pool is still so calm.

There is no superfluous behavior and no strange phenomena occur.

Arrow held his breath and widened his eyes to be wary of this pool. He imagined that even if a dozen monsters more terrifying than corpse eaters jumped out of this pool at the next moment, he would not be surprised at all!

but……

No.

Calm, like deathly silence.

Under the reflection of this "starlight", the pitch-black pool seemed dead.

Aero thought for a while, picked up a stone from the ground, and tentatively threw it towards the pool.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-

The stone bounced a few times when it landed on the pool?!

But just when Ai Luo was surprised at this moment, the originally dark pool suddenly opened a gap in the middle!

The pool is just a huge eye!

And the gaze of this eye is now completely covering Ai Luo.

...Wow——!

The sound of the stone falling into the water shocked Airl. He came back to his senses and saw that the stone he just threw created a wave of waves on the pool.

As soon as the water splashed down, within a few moments, the slightly moving water returned to calmness again, like a pitch-black mirror.

"Everyone, can you still move on?"

The first one to speak was Gu Liduo. He looked very rested, holding a lute in his hand, and looked very confident and natural in both tone and expression.

Brad was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Ai Luo. Similarly, Coco, Buffy, and Cream were all looking at Ai Luo, waiting for his instructions.

Gu Li thought for a while and said with a smile: "Well, actually our team was not harmed at all. If we have to say it, our little necromancer is a bit wasted on magic power. But it doesn't matter, let's take a short rest.

That's fine, it's still early, I think we can continue to explore the road. But..."

The bard came to Arrow's side and said with a smile: "President, how about... you go back to rest alone? Leave the next thing to me... let's handle it."

Hearing the words of Grain Duo, Ai Luo woke up suddenly. He turned around and said with an unconcerned smile on his face: "No, we will retreat now. Originally, I thought about going back and forth in one day, since

Now that we have explored this pool, it’s almost time, so it’s time for us to go back early to rest and prepare. After all, the days are still long.”

Seeing what Ai Luo said, Gu Liduo plucked the strings and laughed, without commenting.

The mine exploration ended here, and the group returned along the original path.

By the time we left the Evermian Mountains and arrived at the guild, it was already past ten o'clock in the night. Seeing that it was time to sleep again.

But unlike the previous situation, once he returned to the guild, Ai Luo was not as energetic as usual.

A very heavy feeling of fatigue invaded him. This fatigue was not only physical, but also mental.

Entering the guild, Airo simply said hello to everyone and then went upstairs and returned to his room. Moreover, even the simple survey map of the terrain was just casually put aside without tidying up.

"What's wrong with the president? He looks very uncomfortable."

Gu Liduo smiled and still plucked his fingers on the strings.

But after he finished speaking, Coco stood in front of him with an angry look on his face and said angrily: "There are many grains, what you just said was too much!"

Gu Liduo didn't look very unhappy. He sat down in the rest area and said with a smile: "Did I say too much? I don't think so. Little sister Coco, you yourself said that your president is not a warrior, no.

He knows martial arts and doesn’t have any magic affinity. I suggest that he should not go into the mines or take risks again and just stay in the guild. Is this wrong?"

Although Coco was very good at boosting his momentum, when he really needed to reason, the little necromancer was unable to say a word.

She stared at Gu Liduo, stamped her feet after being in a stalemate for a long time, and let out a heavy "hum".

Ji Lian came up and patted Coco's shoulder lightly. At the same time, he smiled and said to Gu Liduo: "Bard, Mermaid Song, Mermaid Song has its own policy of doing things. Sometimes I do agree with you, but sometimes

At this time...you can't go too far as a human being."

Gu Li took an extra breath, shook his head gently, walked to Ji Lian's side, and said in a very soft voice: "All conspiracies are often just due to lack of strength. I don't know the mermaid's power."

How did the song work before, but William, I want to ask you, are you really sure that our guild was very stable and there were no problems along the way?"

The corners of Ji Lian's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Gu Liduo warily.

But the bard shook his head, raised his head with a worried look, looked at Arrow's room and said: "Maybe you think I'm not polite, or maybe you think I speak too much. But, since I am a

As a member of Mermaid Song, I really want to make our guild stronger. At the same time, I am also very worried about our president."

"You have also seen today's battle. As the mine is explored deeper and deeper, the danger will become more and more serious. Do you really think that President Arrow is still suitable to continue taking risks with us?

Shouldn’t the president stay in a safe place, safe and sound, so that we don’t have to worry about protecting him during the adventure, so that we can complete the mission better?”

"If you are really worried about our president, don't you think that not letting him continue to force himself to take risks with us is what we members should do?"

The thief snorted, patted Coco on the shoulder again, turned and went upstairs to his room.

Coco hesitated a little, looked at the cream, and then at the grains, but in the end he could only lower his head and go back to the room with a worried look on his face.

Finally, Gu Liduo came to Brad and Buffy. Facing this fellow countryman, Gu Liduo said sincerely: "Brother, we are all from the same country. You have to know, no matter what I do,

None of this will harm you."

Brad seemed a little confused. After all, since joining the Mermaid Song Guild, he had completed such major adventures under the command of Arrow.

"We are all members of the same guild, so naturally we can't harm the president, right? Think about it carefully, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the president to stop taking so many risks?"

Buffy pulled Brad's ear, looking a little hesitant. Brad and the flower fairy looked at each other, nodded, and said: "This... is indeed a good thing..."

"Since it's a good thing, you should support me, right?"

With a smile on his grainy face, he reached out and patted Brad on the shoulder again, saying——

"Today, let's have a good rest. I believe you will make the right judgment. After all, this is all for the good of our president, do you understand?"

The soldier finally nodded. Dragging his tired steps, he went upstairs and returned to his room.

Seeing that all the guild members had returned to their rooms, the smile on Gu Liduo's face couldn't help but grow wider.

He looked at the time and saw that it was not midnight yet. Taking advantage of this good mood, he plucked the strings with his fingers again, played a melodious melody, and prepared to go upstairs and sleep.

"I don't know what your plans are."

At this moment, Napa, who had been lying there all the time, suddenly spoke.

Gu Liduo couldn't help but trembled all over. He turned around and saw that the monster was staring at him closely, just like a ferocious lion staring at its prey——

"But, you'd better not use any crooked ideas. Mermaid Song is stronger than you think, whether it is this guild or your president."

After a moment, Gu Liduo's expression relaxed slightly. He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Everything I did was for the Mermaid Song. No matter what, I will never let this guild collapse.

Whether it’s for me or all the other members.”

Having said this, Gu Liduo opened his legs and prepared to go upstairs.

"What secrets are you hiding?" Napa's body floated up from the cushion, and her whole body began to emit a little golden light. "You are just a bard, and there is not much communication between Ai Luo and you. But.

Why are you so worried about Airl's life safety? Why do you care so much about this Adventurer's Guild that you have only joined for a day?"

Stepping up the stairs, the grain-rich steps paused slightly.

But soon, he took steps upstairs again, and said with a smile as he walked -

"Every guild member in Mermaid Song has secrets and can keep his own secrets. Isn't this what our guild leader teaches?"
