Anil and others, who followed the source of the water sound with torches, finally found their target.
"Wait, don't go there yet." Brutus grabbed a team member who wanted to get close to the underground river, "If there is any danger in the river, it will be difficult to deal with."
Anil used the light from the torch to observe the flow of the underground river, and then asked beside him: "Brutus, shall we continue to move forward in the direction of the current?"
Brutus looked around, confirmed that the surroundings seemed safe, and replied: "No, we have to go upstream."
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot, we are underground now." Anil reacted and patted his head.
They went upstream, preparing to look for possible exits.
"By the way, Brutus, why did you participate in our operation? Did you have any grudge against the Goblins before?" The group of people remained vigilant and started chatting. After all, in this kind of situation
Maintaining a depressed marching state in a dark environment will cause a lot of mental stress.
"Have a grudge? No, you may be overthinking it." Brutus took the shield with his free right hand so that his left hand could rest. "I just want to accumulate more achievements and make progress in becoming a citizen."
Just speed it up a little bit."
"That's it." Anil nodded thoughtfully, "Captain Jack usually teaches us that force is used to protect ourselves and punish evil and promote good. But seeing you and that knight, they both seem to want to
Use this ability to make great achievements."
He was worried that Brutus would misunderstand, and quickly added: "Of course, I don't think your idea is wrong. In fact, we also want to go to the village to have a try, just like the young man who came to the village before."
"But Captain Jack even felt that it was too dangerous to perform military service, so he directly asked the villagers to use other things to redeem the military service."
"The young man you are talking about is not called Pansy, is he?" Brutus asked curiously.
"It seems?" Anil was a little unsure, "That was almost two years ago, and I can't remember his name."
Brutus was not surprised at all by this answer. He just remembered this person in Laxius Village and asked by the way: "Your captain is right, I also encountered a lot of dangers when I was in Tatto Town."
, if I had a choice, I wouldn’t get involved in those things.”
"But with the current situation, just staying in the village may not be safe."
"That's true." Anil agreed, "We have been attacked frequently in the past month, otherwise we wouldn't have what we have today."
Brutus hesitated for a moment and did not continue to take up the topic: "Quiet, I think something may be wrong up front."
Although Anil and others didn't feel anything was wrong, they followed Brutus's advice and stayed quiet.
Brutus looked at the darkness in the distance and waved for everyone to stop. He leaned over the wet ground and listened carefully for a while.
After getting up, he looked at the three people around him, thought for a few seconds, and decided to tell them his guess: "I don't know if you have felt it, but the flow of the air has changed. It is surprisingly disordered around here."
"Is there any?" Anil tried to feel it. He even felt that there was no wind around him. "I didn't feel anything."
Brutus looked at the other two people and got similar answers to Anil's.
It seems that this is still an inexplicable talent... Brutus was silent. Since he is the only one who can feel this situation, he can only make a judgment. Fortunately, several team members are relatively trusting.
he......
"Let's all be careful. There may be dangers ahead. If things go wrong, we'll run away immediately."
After everyone had unified their thoughts and made preparations, the four of them continued to swim upstream. They walked as lightly as possible, and there was no other sound except the sound of water flowing beside them along the way.
"Eh?"
"Randers, that's it." Anil followed the voice and looked at Randers who made this exclamation.
Landers pointed his right hand to the right side of the crowd: "Look."
Looking along the direction of his finger, under the firelight, the rock wall on their right was illuminated by a little light.
“This is—” Anil walked up and touched the rock wall with some uncertainty. His voice was obviously deliberately suppressing his excitement and was trembling, “Oh my god, there is such a thing.
"
Brutus also came up, but he didn't know what was in the rock wall, so he had to ask Anil.
"I saw a fist-sized piece of this ore in a caravan passing through the village from Sissoko City. The caravan named this stone Starlight Stone because it emits dense light in the dark. That
At that time they sold it for two hundred gold lats."
"If this rock wall is covered with this kind of ore, then the village will be developed." Anil stroked the rock wall in front of him as if he were his lover...
Brutus knocked on the rock wall, which felt very hard: "Is it troublesome to mine?"
"I don't know, we have never dug this kind of ore. I heard from the old people in the village that this mine used to mainly mine copper ore."
"Okay. But we can put this matter aside for now. Our main goal now is to find a way out. Otherwise, no matter how many starlight stones we have, we will have no chance to mine them."
The other three people naturally agreed with Brutus's point of view, and they even looked forward to discovering something good along the way.
Ten minutes later, the four of them walked into a huge underground hall. By the light of the fire, Brutus finally understood how the chaotic air flow was formed - whether this was a natural formation or not.
The underground hall is filled with large and small rock pillars, and the underground river is also winding here.
There seemed to be other creatures in the underground hall. Not long after they entered, they heard the sound of flapping wings.
"Do you have a cold feeling?" Anil tightened his coat and asked the people next to him.
After hearing what he said, the other two people also felt a little bit like this: "It seems a little bit."
"Don't scare yourself." Brutus whispered to stop their thoughts, "Relax. It's easy to misjudge the situation when you are always on high alert."
He motioned to Anil to use a torch to explore the surroundings.
After observing the environment around them, Brutus began to feel uneasy again. He told the other three people: "We have to get together. The environment here is complicated. Don't get separated."
He painstakingly carved an arrowhead on a rock pillar with a dagger and marked it with a number: "Make a good mark. We have to make sure how to get in and out. It will be troublesome if we are trapped here."
