Alone, join an unfamiliar team and enter sinister places. No matter how kind a person is, when his companion suddenly dies inexplicably, his heart must be full of suspicion and jealousy of the rest of his companions.

But if this group had destroyed a snow elf's lair not long ago and spent the night inside. Then the idea will be very different.

"Yuga!"

As soon as the shouting voice came out, a magic light bullet was projected to the top of the stone wall. Because there is a bonfire. It was brighter than the one that attacked the Snow Elves, and every detail on both sides of the passage was clearly reflected.

There was silence all around, except for heavy breathing, a flame burned. The stones and railings around the crowd were pulled out with long shadows of light and writhing like snakes.

"The sword is poisonous, and there is no salvation. Chamak roughly examined the body and said in a deep voice.

At his feet, Bymun, whose body was already blue, lay quietly on the ground. His eyes were wide open, his face was distorted and hideous, and a green bone sword pierced through his left chest, piercing his heart and nailing him to the bedding.

"Did anyone hear anything?" asked Jamila, holding her round shield and looking around warily. It was as if there was an evil ghost in that dark shadow, ready to jump out from behind and give it to them.

"There's no way Bymon would have died without making a sound. ”

Everyone shook their heads, and as the questioner, Jamila asked the question to represent her own answer.

A chill.

Since you have killed the monster of Bymon...... Or something, which can get rid of him silently. So, why are the remaining people still alive?

Quinn's teeth chattered, making a 'clasp' sound. His fat body trembled uncontrollably, and he looked like he was about to cry.

"That guy, that guy won't be around anymore......"

Yuga angrily crossed him. It's like saying, 'You have nothing to do, say what to do.'" He raised his staff and projected more projectiles into the darkness around him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of darkness.

"What's that!?"

Before he could finish speaking, Alice and Chamak rushed forward. Their movements were fast, and it was only a matter of breathlessness before they reached the edge of darkness. Then, an exceptionally fishy smell made the two of them frown together.

"Crack?" Alice asked softly.

"No, it's a portal. Chamak waved his hand and said, "This is the crack in the ground that leads to the Black Descent - that is the land of the snow elves." ”

"I've been wondering how the snow elves could be in this passage, after all, it's so deep and there's no food for the snow elves. Even with these xenomorphs, there is no way for them to survive here without eating. Now I finally understand that this is a decaying tribe of snow elves, and they just happened to migrate here. Chamak said.

"So," Alice said, glancing at Bymon's body. "Where did they come from?"

"That's right. ”

And just then, Yuga also walked over. But he covered his nose from a distance, and there was a taste of disgust in his eyes.

"Is this it, why didn't you find it yesterday?" he said with a sense of duty in his tone.

Chamak shrugged, pretending not to hear. Having killed so many snow elves yesterday, who has the time to take a torch and scrutinize the nearby corners? It doesn't matter if someone is willing to throw a few magic spells, but now...... The man is dead. He was indeed too lazy to carry this black cauldron.

And Alice went even further than he did. She struck twice with the spine of her elven sword on the edge of the stone crevice. Then he said lightly: "Collapse it." Without looking back, he walked in the other direction.

There was the sound of gnashing of teeth behind him. There was also a faint whispering of swearing.

Then came the explosion of fire.

The geological structure here has been tested for perhaps thousands of years, and it is unlikely that a single fireball will cause a collapse. But the crack was clearly fresh, so it wasn't as strong.

Alice tilted her head slightly, disappointed not to hear anything out of the ordinary.

[These snow spirits should have a certain amount of wisdom. But it's not that high. Then they can't afford to watch the passage collapse and do nothing. 】

[There are two possibilities, the first is that there is another crack. The second is that there are no living snow elves here. 】

The girl's fingers moved slightly, and she began to check the rest of the directions.

Fifteen minutes later......

Once again, the crowd gathered around the campfire.

"Didn't find it. ”

"Nope. ”

"Me too. ”

Quinn glanced cautiously at the travelers and said, "Perhaps, they are gone?"

"There's no reason for it. Jamila shook her head. said: "Baimon is not the weakest of us, nor is he the strongest, and he has not killed the most snow elves, let alone the least. If the snow elves had the ability, it would not have been possible to kill only one of them. ”

Quinn grinned wryly, and it was clear that he was the 'weakest, least contributing' guy. It stands to reason that the snow elves should be killed first.

…… If there really are snow elves.

The atmosphere that lingered in the air suddenly became eerie. Under the firelight, every face became cloudy. It was so close that the distance between the travelers seemed to be as far as the distance from Sirodil to the sky.

Since the reason to convince yourself is no longer zài. Then, it's no longer the snow elves to watch out for.

After a long time, the Red Guard opened his mouth to break the deadlock.

"I don't know what's going on, I don't care, and neither does my sword. However, we have to hit the road. ”

Jamila glanced at the corpse at his feet and asked, "What about Baimon?" We're going to leave him here?"

Yuga frowned and said, "Burn it." ”

His proposal was met with no objection from anyone.

He leaned down and took the precious ores that Baimon had treasured.

Chamak took his bow and arrows.

Jamila took the gold and gems from him.

The bottles of alchemy potions belonged to Alice.

In the end, Baimon was not able to retain even the scale armor that was still relatively intact. Quinn peeled it off, then dragged the archer, who was covered only by his undershirt, into the campfire—and soon the air smelled of burning.

The dead are dead, and the living are going on. Every thing of value is an important treasure for the living. The will and faith of the dead will also attach to it and fight side by side with the living.

Cut, said high-sounding. In fact, it is nothing more than possession and plunder.

Yuga sniffled, as if he couldn't stand the scorching smell. He swung his staff and unleashed an unknown blast of magic energy at the remains of Bymon.

The crimson flames turned pale blue in an instant. Burned the already blackened corpses to charcoal.

Once again, the travelers are on their way.

This time, however, everyone was a little far apart.

Alice exhaled softly.

[It seems...... A little colder?]

Jamila's voice suddenly came from beside her. "Are you feeling a little cold?"

[This guy ...... Huh?]

"A little. Alice nodded slightly.

"It looks like we've gone to the middle. Jamila said: "When I was in Southam, some of the mountains felt very hot just as you were closer. And then there's a lot of ash funnels coming out of the ground, and I hate that kind of thing the most!"

"Ash Funnel?"

"Some kind of disgusting arthropod. The Dark Elf girl rubbed her fingers in a strange motion—there was clotted blood between her fingers.

It was never her blood.

[Then ......]

And just then, Quinn, who was leading the carriage, sneezed violently.

"Hey, don't make strange noises. Yuga's staff tapped on the ground and whispered.

"Hug, sorry...... Ahh

"If you're sick, get a bottle of anti-illness potion and drink it. Yuga said lightly: "Anyway, you have so many potions here." Presumably not too many potions or two......"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Not only him, but everyone else stopped.

"What, what's wrong?" said Quinn, trembling, as he suddenly sensed something very unpleasant, quite, very unpleasant.

"Removing ** agent. Chamak whispered.

Yuga then added the rest of the words.

"All of us, breathe the same air, eat the same things. It stands to reason that one person is poisoned and the others are fine. ”

However, Bai was injured and drank the anti-mortem. ”

"There's no way something could be wrong with his own potion. But...... Not necessarily the one that passes through your hands. Yuga said slowly, "You poisoned it, and then disguised it with the sword of the Snow Elf." ”

"No! it's not like that!" Quinn shook his hand desperately. Say it loudly: "I can prove it!"

He hurriedly took out a bottle of anti-** medicine from his pocket.

"I can drink it!"

But the travelers just shook their heads and said nothing.

Who can prove that the poisoned potion is only the bottle of Baimon? Not to mention that the potion has been drunk by Baimon, even if it is not, what is the verification to be used? Is it one of the travelers, or is it the profiteer who will inevitably sell the ** reconciliation elixir separately?

Chamak tilted his head. Jamila looked at her toes.

Alice, on the other hand, drew her sword and walked in the direction of Quinn.

It doesn't matter what the truth really is. In order to maintain the stability of this temporary team, to ensure that they can get out of the cold rock passage. Sacrificing a merchant is nothing.

It's just that......

"Why are you in such a hurry?"
