Trample.. Trample.. Trample..

Under the light of illumination, a group of four people wandered forward in the dim crystal cave.

The role of the "Golden Compass" is very simple, that is, on the sea, no matter what kind of bad conditions he faces, he can guide the owner who holds it to live!

Although it was under an island, it apparently had no effect on the Golden Compass playing its role, and the hands of the two Golden Compasses together pointed to a place deep in the crystal cavern.

Happens to be in the same direction as the original strain in Milanese divination.

Tick... Tick...

Some of the magical stories about the "Golden Compass" are widely circulated, but some of the secrets are only passed down among its owners and inheritors, and the ultimate secret may currently only be known to Jerros and Aven, who have reached the Golden Realm.

Although she saw the golden compass in Aiwen's hand, Olivia, who had never "chatted" with the demigods of the Golden Nation, did not know the secret and deep meaning behind the so-called "Golden Compass" and "Adventurer's Blood" for the time being.

Even in the more than 100 years that the "Golden Compass" has been inherited, because it has only been passed down for four generations, and the "adventurer's blood" has hardly been expressed explicitly in this family.

In fact, the members of the Aymor family were unaware of the existence of this strange power, and only thought that the old Count Emer and Olivia were by nature.

At this time, she and Ai Wen took out the golden compass at the same time, if it was placed in the eyes of an ordinary person who had only heard the legend of the golden compass but had little to do with these compasses, there would be no problem at all, such as Milan in the team.

Although the value of the golden compass is comparable to that of a low-level and ordinary marine treasure, it is not too great a treasure because of its relatively single function on the surface.

From the list of "Navy Nova" treasure rewards it provided in the Kingdom of Ilya, its ordinary status can be seen.

But in the eyes of Ai Wen, who deeply understands the meaning behind the compass, he has already seen too much information from this compass itself!

In addition to the great adventurer Jerath who kidnapped the princess, the thirteen adventurer families who hold the golden compass are distributed in this vast material world.

Although Evan had never met Olivia, who was known as a "natural adventurer", he could almost conclude that the Aymore family was one of the thirteen adventurer families based on the various rumors that had circulated.

At this time, a golden compass suddenly popped up next to him, and the holder was a little fat man with a clear family background and resume, Ai Wen would not believe that such a coincidence would happen.

Therefore, the biggest possibility at the moment is that this "Roddy" is not Roddy!

From the time he happened to encounter a bunch of ghouls catching "fugitives" when he boarded the ship, to the extraordinary swordsmanship that clearly showed that he only had the rank of apprentice, but in reality he suddenly became a full-fledged knight, to the second-order shaman who was easily killed by him in the melee, and the inexplicable tacit understanding in many times during the action...

And when he came back to his senses, the words of the mushroom man with great psychic powers: Two gentlemen!

Although her appearance and demeanor are not recognizable as a girl in any way, it is like piercing a layer of window paper, and as long as you start to doubt, you can easily find all kinds of flaws in this new warrant officer.

Knock! knock...

My heart was beating a little faster, and a truth was about to come out.

If the eldest lady of the Marquis Yuanfan's family, Olivia, who he has always wanted to see but has not seen = the moonstone that is closely connected to him in the spirit world = the Warrant Officer Roddy.

Then, all the clues in your hands can be connected in series, and all the doubts can be perfectly explained!

And after making this very logical reasoning, the first thought that came to Aiwen's heart was: "I didn't do anything in front of 'Roddy' to damage my image of wisdom and martial arts, right?"

As a mentally and physically normal adult male, it would be too self-deceptive to spend time with a beautiful girl of noble birth on an expedition to the spiritual realm, to say that there is not a trace of other thoughts in his heart.

Especially when you stay on the boat all day, even ewes are a scarce resource, phew... Cross out.

But after careful recollection.

Ai Wen found that the trait of Wise Divine Martial Arts was simply his inherent attribute like the three-dimensional dimension of body, sensitivity, and strength, so he naturally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, it is worthy of me." ”

Immediately afterward, he realized a key problem.

I haven't been able to detect the identity of the other party, but it doesn't mean that Olivia is the same. Whether in the spiritual world or in the material world, he has exposed too many abilities that are unique to him.

When getting along day and night, it is impossible not to correspond.

His mind was racing, and his powerful memory replayed in his mind the scenes that had happened since the other party boarded the ship for more than a month, and gradually even had a sense of why Olivia had stayed by his side.

It may have been a coincidence that she had first boarded the "Storm Horn" in order to escape the ghouls, but after being safe, she should have discovered her identity very quickly, and he could guess why she hadn't left.

However, even though his mind seemed to be magnifying the film, Aven's face remained silent. Out of a subtle psychology, he didn't want to expose the other party's identity and break this tacit understanding of hide and seek.

The specific reason, he himself is not quite sure.

Maybe it's the relationship that is about to turn in an unknown direction after revealing the truth? Maybe it's the wonderful feeling of being based on the "netizens"? Maybe it's the comfort of listening to Miss Moonstone, who has a somewhat cold personality, respectfully calling herself "Your Excellency General" every day? Ahem...

And Olivia, who was also holding the "Golden Compass" next to him, didn't realize that she had been completely exposed to Aven because of a compass.

Of course, she also heard what the mushroom man said, and she was a little apprehensive at first. But seeing that the other companions didn't seem to react from beginning to end, he gradually let go of his hanging heart.

"In addition to the essence of strength, the path, the character... In addition to the differences, Mr. Hemlock and I finally have one thing in common. In other words, in the hands of the Gallott family, who discovered the best route in the southern continent, they also inherited a 'golden compass'. ”

Although limited by experience, it is uncertain whether the mysterious connection between the two is because of this commonality. But Olivia still feels excited, feeling that she has taken a big step forward in finally unlocking the secrets between the beacon anchorages.

And because there was no pressure to escape, Olivia quietly came to Aven's side, seemingly inadvertently saying from his mouth:

"Your Excellency General, it is such a coincidence that you also have a golden compass in your hand.

Although I've heard the legend of this amazing item, I haven't used it much since I accidentally got it.

And your Garot family is a very famous family of adventurers, and there must be many adventures related to the Golden Compass, can you tell me the story behind it?"

The girl said as she secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

'Ask him openly in the name of communication, Olivia, you are really witty!'

"Haha, the golden compass in the hands of the Garrot family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years, and there are many stories..."

Evan himself didn't notice that his attitude towards "Roddy" had quietly changed, and this kind of past of the Gallot family was not something anyone could listen to.

But at this time.

Chirping.. Chirping.. Chirping..

The sound of rustling suddenly sounded from the darkness of the cave not far from them.

As if hearing human movement, a group of giant spiders the size of puppies crawled out of the darkness. Eight red eyes, eight spear-like sharp feet with fine bristles, and mushroom-like yellow tumors on their backs.

This is a group of monsters alienated by the influence of the pollution source in the crystal cave, containing deadly germs [Demonized Spider Monster]

The moment they saw them, Apusua and Olivia took a half-step back at the same time.

However, a few low-level demonic creatures raised here by the Poison Epidemic School were no threat to Evan and them. Just after two shouts like a demonstration, it was completely resolved by Evan's three strikes and five divisions.

By the way, the fangs in their mouths are plucked out and put into the "magic pocket", and there is no doubt that these fangs will be honorably used as raw materials for Angel's "Wild Talisman".

Become a stepping stone on her path to becoming a full-fledged wizard!

As I continued to move forward, the various mushrooms on the ground obviously began to increase, and there was already a bit of a miniature version of the mushroom forest in the spiritual world.

The group soon came to a place where the skin of the spiders remained, probably belonging to the nest of the large spiders.

On a glowing crystal, there are dense goose eggs, mushroom-sized creatures that resemble plants, with a hollow top and a thick, yellow-green vegetative body.

The spirit in Milan's hand came to a halt.

"Aven, I've found it, it should be them!"

Hearing his words, Evan opened the "microscopic vision" and affirmed the results of Milan's divination.

This ascomycete was named "cystic fungus" by Aven.

Obviously, it can be both symbiotic and parasitic, and when there is a lack of parasites, it will symbiosis with algae to form lichens, absorb the light released by the crystals in the cave, and become the cornerstone of this vast crystal cave ecosystem.

When it has parasites, it can reproduce quickly, especially after being modified by witchcraft, it can mature in a very short period of time, spreading the spores, and becoming a powerful biochemical weapon.

With a dagger, he gently plucked a few fleshy and fatty nutrient bodies, stuffed them into a crystal bottle and hung them around his waist, and by the way, he poured a bottle of water filled with hundreds of germs next to it. No matter how tenacious the germs are, the "magic pockets" are not the place for them.

"Mission accomplished!"

Looking at this colorful and murderous place, Milan proposed to Aven:

"Aiwen, this place is full of harmful things, why don't we use alchemy bombs to destroy this place directly after we leave. ”

For people outside of the "Plague School", even a powerful transcendent would be able to reach the limit if they could stay in it for a few days at most.

Therefore, although he retreated temporarily, the "mushroom people" did not feel that they would lose this natural treasure house belonging to the school, and they could directly collect the corpses of these enemies trapped and dead underground in two days.

But he would never have thought that this group of enemies would be so ruthless that they would cut off their roots!

Luckily, there was a knowledgeable person among them.

Evan stopped Milan and explained to several of his companions:

"After I go out, I will send seagulls to stay here all the time, and I won't let them use these things to harm people again. Moreover, biological diversity itself is a huge wealth, and these fungi may not only harm people, but also save people. ”

Aven has not forgotten that antibiotics, which can also be used to treat various bacterial infections or disease-causing microbial infections, are also produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes) or higher animals and plants.

And this includes the famous penicillin, judging from Aivan's understanding of this world, this battlefield miracle drug has a lot to offer!

Maybe with these things, and give yourself a certain amount of time, even without the help of Dr. Taylor, you can develop a corresponding antibiotic drug to completely solve this germ.

However, that was the subject of future research, and the immediate priority now was to bring back the original strain of the cyst fungus to Dr. Taylor.

"Well, you have the final say. ”

Without questioning Aven's decision, he moved on.

At the end of the crystal cave, which stretched for nearly a kilometer, the hands of two golden compasses pointed at one of the cave walls and fixed at the same time.

Without hesitation, Ai Wen smashed out with a heavy punch mixed with thunder light.

Boom——!

Behind the one-meter-thick cave wall is a nearby lead mine, and a faint breeze suggests that this is a way out to the outside world. It may also be due to the fact that the nearby associated lead mines can isolate telepathy, and the "mushroom people" have not been able to detect the anomaly here.

The Golden Compass lived up to their expectations.

"Let's go!"

Under Aven's leadership, the group was about to leave.

The rubble cracked, but it happened to reveal a very transparent and beautiful cluster of citrine crystals in the cave next to it.

While Apusua didn't react to this beautiful thing, "Roddy" seemed to be a little unmoving.

But the huge size of five or six half-human heights made her a little embarrassed, and after struggling for a moment, she asked for help from Aven:

"Your Excellency, can you please use the 'magic pocket' to bring these crystal clusters? My uncle's cousin loved these things. ”

Ai Wen noticed the deep spiritual fluctuations hidden on it, and showed him a smile that a man understands with a little deep meaning, and agreed very happily: "Yes!
