"Well...... this"

Scratching his head, Sunrise's gaze gradually fell on the top of Duan Qing's head in the direction he was looking at: "There's an entrance up there, I don't know where I came from randomly, I just heard some sounds before, and then I saw a light in the corner of the corner, so I noticed the movement on your side." ”

"And then you just jumped off?" Duan Qing covered his head and asked with a headache, "Didn't you figure out the situation first?" ”

"Saving people is like fighting fire, you know." The warrior carrying the giant axe gave Duan Qing a thumbs up: "At that time, there were so many monsters down there, and the little girl was so seriously threatened to her life, where was there time for me to think?" ”

"Come on, you didn't even notice the existence of Yachi's bird just now." Duan Qing once again showed a sneering attitude: "To be able to go blind to such a level in a place like the underground labyrinth, I also have to admire your talent." ”

"Get the map out."

As if he had finally recovered from his heavy injuries, he then stretched out his hand towards Asahi Dongsheng: "Even if you don't remember the road yourself, your adventurer's manual should remember it." ”

"Ahh That's right! As if he had just come to his senses, Asahi Dongsheng slammed his fist on his other palm: "I still have a map!" Why didn't I think of it before? ”

"If you commit this kind of shameful stupidity again, don't say that you are a member of our Qingling Adventure Group in the future." Duan Qing, who pressed his forehead, then landed his helpless gaze on the surface of the map in front of him: "Hmm...... It seems to be an area close to the west side, so if you compare it correctly, your route is a little more reasonable. ”

"Of course, after all, we rushed in from the underground outlet to the west." Asahi patted his chest: "Even if it's a big fight, then you have to clear all the west side first...... Belch. ”

"What's that look on your face?" He looked at the strange eyes of Duan Qing and Eight Birds looking at him in unison, and the attitude that he wanted to be proud of just now retracted again: "Is there any other embarrassing question?" ”

“…… No. Lowering his head again, Duan Qing replied with a depressed face: "It's just that the place that people haven't found with all their hard work has actually been broken in by you, a reckless man, which will more or less give people a feeling of frustration." ”

"Is this place mysterious? Just run around. The muscular sturdy figure got a little closer, and then his gaze fell on the side of the map held by Duan Qing: "Well, I probably ran in from here, and encountered some strange people and strange monsters on the way, some of them even attacked me, and then I treated them as enemies...... Here. ”

"This is it." He pointed to a slender passage leading to the location of several people, and his fingers circled back and forth on the north-south path: "I don't have a good sense of direction, but ...... I guess I came from this road, right? I passed a corner in the middle, and then I heard a voice from below-"

"Does your eldest brother know about such terrain?"

After observing this passage for a while, Duan Qing, who took out his map for comparison, turned to look at the little girl on the side: "There seems to be something in common between these two sides, but he may not know." ”

"Even if he didn't know, he would have found it." Hachi's answer was still full of firmness and confidence: "Hachi believes in the eldest brother. ”

"Who is his eldest brother?" Looking at Duan Qing's rather helpless expression, the rising sun on the side pointed to the little girl's face again: "Is it your acquaintance?" ”

"It should ...... Not count. Shaking his head, Duan Qing then put away the adventurer's manual in his hand: "But no matter what, we have to find a way to go up first, we can't wait for others to jump down together." ”

"It's called a treasure trove, but there's nothing of value...... Shh Glancing back at the empty hall around him and the dim scene of monster corpses strewn all over him, Asahi Dongsheng pursed his lips with some disdain: "If that guy Gedmayne sees this, he will probably complain that we have returned in vain." ”

"Before that, he'll probably complain about you running around, and then the blind cat will run into a dead mouse." Duan Qing's voice slowly leaned against the wall as he left: "Come." ”

"Both of us are weak hands, so I'll leave this errand up to you."

Shaking his head a little helplessly, the rising sun with his hands in his hands then also walked behind Duan Qing and the eight birds, and the loud shouts that belonged to him also sounded in the corner of this room, and began the lifting work that he led the two people to climb up one after the other. Panting, he threw his body to the corner of the passage, and the gray-robed magician who watched the sun rise and jump down again then seized the time to recover his strength, and the voice belonging to the giant axe warrior and the Yatazaki also appeared more and more clearly in the narrow air around him as time passed: "...... Feed! Don't you move, okay? Learn from the seriously wounded man just now. ”

"Small, Hachi didn't move! Hachi is just, just trying to find a more comfortable position to sit down. ”

"Find a more comfortable place to sit down? What did you take me for? I'm a berserker of the Imperial Investigation, a man who can split a city gate in half with my bare hands, but I'm not your mount! ”

"Hey, it's really boring, if it's the eldest brother, it doesn't matter how I sit on him...... Ouch! ”

There was a girl's cry of pain in the darkness, and it seemed that Yachi, who was about to climb to the top, was thrown to the ground in a daze, and then she rubbed her ass and stood up, and at the same time stared at the figure of the giant axe warrior who climbed up with dissatisfaction: "You, you! How dare you throw me! No politeness at all! ”

"It's you who is rude, and don't look at who came up behind your back." With his hands at the mouth of the passage, Asahi Dongsheng forced the other party's glaring eyes back with a contemptuous gaze: "And how can I come up if I don't throw you, I came up with you, and I can't use my hands to force it." ”

"And how did you get him here?" The little girl's eyes rolled, and then accurately grasped the question in the other party's words: "You can't even throw a wounded person like the big brother on it, right?" You big talker! ”

"I'm X, what is not good for a little girl to learn, but to learn these useless words." Clapping his hands, Asahi Dongsheng waved his fist: "Be careful that I beat you." ”

"Big brother, big brother, your teammates are bullying me." hurriedly ran behind Duan Qing, and the little girl who posed pitiful and grabbed the gray magic robe in front of her with force: "You can help Xiaoba teach him a lesson." ”

"How dare you say that when you know we're teammates?" With a fierce look on his face, he also looked in the direction where Duan Qing was: "Where did you pick up the wild child?" I suggest that we throw her back now and see if she can get out on her own. ”

"You, how can you do this!" Yachitori's expression really became a little more frightened: "Big brother, big brother, you won't do this, right?" We were just comrades-in-arms, we—big brother? ”

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

It seemed that she had finally discovered the abnormality of Duan Qing, who had not spoken, she shook the other party's little hand and slowly stopped, and the rising sun, who noticed that something was wrong, then squatted in front of Duan Qing, and then turned her head back to his eyes that were looking straight out: "What's wrong?" ”

“…… There's something very strange about it. “

Muttering to himself, Duan Qing slowly raised his fingers: "How can a place that claims to be a treasure trove but is now being used as a warehouse not even have a passage to use as an exit?" ”

"What's that?"

Looking at the columns that were found by Duan Qing hanging upside down on the ceiling of this hall, Sunrise's eyes began to gradually enlarge: "Fire sprinkler tower? Or is it some surrealist decoration? ”

"Now it seems that it is not that there is no access, but that the access has been moved to the top." Duan Qing, who didn't answer the question of the rising sun, still staring at the neat pillars, replied in a low voice, "Why did you move it up?" Why such inconvenient means? ”

"The answer is actually quite simple, because this pathway is 'passively' moved to the top."

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Duan Qing then made a flipping gesture: "Before you came here, I had a bold conjecture, and now-"

"The conjecture has finally been confirmed."

He stretched out one of his hands and condensed the light of the earth elemental around the direction of the ceiling, and an irregular wall of earth slowly condensed into the space of the underground warehouse hall with a rumbling sound. As if he understood what the other party meant, the body belonging to the rising sun then jumped onto the earthen walls that were still spilling dirt downward, and he stabilized the temporary pedals that were almost crumbling under his own weight, and observed the appearance of the square pillars up close: "...... It is a square column, and the carved pattern is shabby but gorgeous, and if you look at it the other way around, it looks a bit like a table! ”

"The table." In the inexplicable gaze of the eight birds next to him, Duan Qing let out a sigh when he heard it: "Is there a magic prohibition on it?" ”

"The prohibition of magic? Wait a minute. After a close attempt, Asahi Dongsheng passed back his answer from afar: "The bloodline is not qualified, it can't be opened!" Here's the system's tip! ”

“……”

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing's gaze began to look further along the orderly square tables: "I see, I see—"

"That's right!"

The sound of earth and rocks cracking sounded in his ears again, and he hurriedly took out the adventurer's map that he had checked three times, and the eight birds on the side then put down his hand covering his eyes, and then turned his little head eagerly: "What is it?" What exactly did you find? ”

"I said Brother Linyuan Broken Water, those ...... just now" jumped back to their original place before those earthen walls collapsed, and a serious look appeared on Asahi Dongsheng's face: "It's really similar to the place we used to be, but-"

"But if all of this is true, the situation becomes even more confusing." Instead of saying such words on behalf of the other party, Duan Qing's gaze was now arranging back and forth around the terrain of the underground passage that had been recorded on the map in his hand: "What about your adventurer's manual?" Take it out? ”

"Haven't you already seen it a while ago? Why do you still want to watch it? ”

"I'm not looking here." Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing interrupted the other party's movements without raising his head: "What I want to compare is the map of the empire, and your page should still be there." ”

"Of course, after all, we are all Imperials." Wiping the tip of his nose, the big hand of the rising sun quickly flipped over: "It's not here, it's not here...... Ah, found it, this place, right? ”

“…… That's right. ”

His eyes kept comparing back and forth between the maps on both sides, and the look in Duan Qing's eyes became more and more energetic: "This is really a big discovery." ”

"Even if the function, decoration and use have changed dramatically, the terrain can't be changed." Also aware of the similarities between the two, the breathing of the rising sun seemed to become a little shorter: "But the biggest problem remains." ”

"Why?"

The eyes of the two men met for a while, and they both sensed a strong sense of doubt in each other's eyes, until the quiet atmosphere began to become solemn, and the little hands of the eight birds on the side began to gradually tighten, and one of them let out his next voice: "Okay, it seems that we need to investigate further." ”

"With these things as a guide, at least we know where to go next, right?"

"That's right."

The sound of running began to echo in the depths of the passage, accompanied by the actions of Duan Qing and the others who began to rush inside: "It proves that the connection between the two is not actually the point, the point is why this strange thing happened, if we can find out the reason, we may be able to figure out the source of this series of events tonight." ”

"Speaking of which, what did you do in the city? I haven't-"

"They're here!"

The conversation between them was interrupted by a sudden shout, and at the same time several shadowy figures appeared looming on the other side of the passage, and the leader of the leader, a man who looked like a big shield warrior, then also put away his running movements, and instead rushed forward with a fighting posture: "The number of people has actually increased...... Hum! ”

"It's okay, you can't run away this time."
