"Eh?"

Arrow was surprised and hurried forward.

"President, look..."

Cream\'s hands were full of blood, and he held a huge heart in his hands. The upper part of the heart was gold, but the lower part was still composed of muscles. At the junction of the two, there is a faint feeling that gold is gradually growing.

Arrow frowned and shook his head slowly. But then he thought, he still handed the heart in his hand to the puppet behind.

"Captain, it seems that not every heart of the corpse eater is gold. There are also some in the process of transformation. "

The puppet picked up the half meat and half gold heart, looked around, frowned and said, "so, what does this mean?"

That means less money.

Although ello thought so, it was impossible to speak directly. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed slightly and said, "let me say, it means that the heart of these corpse eaters is not gold at first. It may take some time... To... Nurture or something. Let\'s look at the other end“

As he spoke, arrow went to Brad over there. After some effort, Brad also cut open the corpse eater\'s chest, and this time

"No gold."

Arrow frowned, sighed and said——

"The chest at this end is just some sticky rotten meat tissue. In terms of size, this head is also the smallest. It looks like a \'baby\' that has not yet grown up. "

Since a corpse eater does not necessarily produce gold nuggets in his body, arrow\'s idea of killing two white headed corpse eaters to save 1000 gold coins is obviously disillusioned.

However, since there is disappointment, we must take advantage of this disappointment. After all, the facts are in front of us. It\'s better to try to transfer our disadvantages into our own advantages than to do nothing.

Arrow got up, turned to the puppet behind and said, "on the other hand, since there is not necessarily gold in the chest of a corpse eater, we can also take this half heart and half gold back to the count, which can also explain why we didn\'t get three gold after killing three corpse eaters for so long. From this point of view, it\'s better for our agreement, isn\'t it? "

The puppet captain thought for a moment. Then he took the gold from his pocket again. After hesitating for a moment, he looked back at the teammates behind him.

Gold nuggets are not small.

For soldiers, the money can definitely be used to enjoy for a long time.

Now that there is a way to make a difference, instead of falling into the count\'s hands, these gold nuggets might as well look at the greedy and happy eyes of those teammates behind and do something to make everyone happy.

On this thought, the puppet captain laughed again. He put the gold back in his arms, took a cloth from the team member\'s hand, wrapped the material of half gold and half heart and let the team member carry it.

"Well, I can\'t help it. President arrow, I agree with you. With this gold, it doesn\'t matter if we kill more corpse eaters. After all, not every monster has gold in its chest. Well... Can we go on? "

Looking at the puppet captain\'s eyes now, arrow knew that the greedy side of the soldier\'s character had been inspired.

It\'s not a bad thing, at least not now.

Turning around and making some adjustments, arrow confirmed the physical condition, equipment, diet and water of each guild member. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded.

"Well, let\'s go on."

————

Raise the torch and move on.

Before long, the song of mermaid came to the narrow passage again.

The faint fire light is very dazzling in this small channel. The light can even illuminate all the patterns and words on the ceiling clearly.

All members are moving forward slowly and alert to everything.

Especially the mermaid song, which experienced the last exploration, as Brad at the front of the team, he always holds a shield and is alert to all the unknowns in the darkness ahead.

Around, those distorted city sculptures appeared again.

With those words that made people look a little "strange", ello involuntarily covered his chest.

This is the second exploration, because the last time he passed the God here and was slapped by Brad, so this time he was more alert.

At the same time, he also warned himself not to look at the carvings on the wall, hoping to keep himself in a state of not too nervous

~~Come, come to me~~

~~I will dispel the darkness in your heart and give you the greatest gift~~

“！！！”

Pa -!

Hearing hallucination reappeared, and arrow slapped himself without hesitation. The clear sound spread far in the narrow passage, making Brad in front stop and look back. The puppet team behind also stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"What\'s the matter with you?"

The whisky behind him asked.

Arrow didn\'t answer directly. He held his breath and listened silently.

No

Those strange whispers have disappeared.

Is this really a auditory hallucination caused by too much mental pressure?

Arrow looked up at the people around him and asked, "did you hear anything just now?"

Dacron laughed. The guy rubbed his wounded shoulder and said with a smile, "I only heard you slap yourself in the face. What\'s up? The president of mermaid song still has this hobby? Slap yourself for fun? "

Arrow didn\'t answer, but took a slight breath.

When he raised his head and scanned the carvings on the surrounding walls again, he determined that his mental state should not be nervous enough to produce hallucinations, and then said, "it\'s all right, let\'s move on. There is a big hole in front, there is a huge pool, and there may be many corpse eaters stationed there. The corpse eater Wang may also be there just now. We must be careful. "

Now that arrow is all right, the crowd moves on.

But as he walked, ello\'s heart was still worried about the voice whispering in his mind just now.

What the hell is that?

What can dispel the darkness in your heart?

If you really reach that thing, what will that thing... Take as a gift... Give it to yourself?

The more he thought about it, the more he didn\'t understand it. When he was about to reach the exit of the tunnel, arrow shook his head, put all these ideas behind his head and focused on the situation in front of him.

Get out of the tunnel... However, the current situation makes ello feel a little different.

The first is the problem of light.

The last time I came, the whole ceiling was covered with some luminous moss like stars. Although these lights didn\'t reach and shine here like day, at least people can see the size of the hole in the pool.

But now, it is dark here. The torches in the hands of several people can only illuminate the nearby area of about 20 meters, but there is no way to illuminate the distant place at all.

"Be careful“

There was no light, and I didn\'t know how many corpse eaters were hidden in the darkness, which made arrow a little nervous and whispered.

Brad, cream, coco and buffy also raised their vigilance and made a defensive posture. Although whisky and Dacron had never been here, they could not help raising their weapons and standing next to the members of the guild when they saw that arrow was so nervous.

However, the puppet team behind did not show an expression of facing the enemy. As the captain, the puppet waved to a member behind him. The member nodded, then took out a scroll from his equipment pocket, opened it, and gently scratched a few times on the scroll.

Poof——

With a slight sound, a ball of light suddenly ejected from the scroll. The light like the sun slowly rose into the air, which completely lit up the place that made arrow very nervous in one breath.

"Scroll spell?"

Arrow was slightly stunned, but then he showed an envious look.

After all, it\'s all money! It can seal magic in a special scroll and then use it, which means that the price of this scroll is not cheap. At least, this is definitely not something that a small guild like itself can afford every mission.

Thinking so, ello suddenly turned his eyes to cocoa nearby.

And the little necromancer suddenly touched arrow\'s eyes, and seemed to be frightened by this serious eyes, and he was a little timid.

But it\'s no use staring at her. After all, it\'s impossible for the necromancer to release this kind of light magic, right? Oh, forget it.

Arrow withdrew his eyes from cocoa and turned to observe the whole cave.

Different from the last time, the place originally thought to be a pool in the middle is now completely empty. Instead, it is a huge hole that seems to go directly to the abyss of the center of the earth! There are many spiral downward passages around the cavity. These passages seem to have been artificially carved, and each passage can accommodate two carriages walking side by side. It seems that this is not a simple road built only for people to pass through.

"Oh, the iron ore pit was really deep at that time."

The puppet went to the edge of the huge mouth of the abyss and looked down.

Even the power of light magic can\'t reach the bottom of the cave. He threw down the torch in his hand and saw that the light spot of the torch became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared. No one knows how deep the huge mouth of the abyss is.

Arrow also watched the torch fall, frowned, shook his head and said, "the water here will disappear, so it means that it should lead to the sea below. There will be a difference when the tide rises and falls. Now the situation is unknown. I suggest we retreat one after another for the time being and explore after confirming the rise and fall time of the tide here. Otherwise, when we are halfway there, the sea suddenly rises, and we will be too dangerous. "

Unfortunately, arrow\'s suggestion was rejected by the puppet captain. He could see that the captain\'s eyes were full of obsession with gold bullion, and ELO really understood this feeling. After all, with their large number of people, those corpse eaters who have not become a great threat are really an easy target to deal with. If you are lucky, you can receive hundreds of gold coins at one go. Who doesn\'t want to do this kind of beautiful job?

Especially

When a pair of familiar red light spots appeared from the spiral ladder.
