"What are they doing here? Is there any other use for that thing? ”

Lurking in the shadows, Callando watched as the hordes of small blue figures formed a long dragon, carrying a considerable amount of pale green material in their hands. It was the same thing that had appeared in the tree before.

With no other direction to search for, Carlando had to make a roundabout effort to keep up with the mini-team. The whole tracking process went smoothly, and the only thing to note was patience, as the speed at which they moved forward was really impressive.

"Is that there?"

Carlando stared at the little blue figures as they walked into the new "small" house, waiting for almost a quarter of an hour before tiptoeing closer.

I saw that the "small" house was close to a hole the size of a well, and a "small" staircase road stretched out from under the house, winding down against the pit wall.

"They carried the things from the trees to the ground? What's underground? Wouldn't the building Mitchlin was looking for be buried in the ground or simply underground? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Carlando took a closer look around, and if it was correct, there should be traces of the previous team in the vicinity.

"There are some marks on the road that look like footprints. The footprints are very obvious, one left and one right, the stride is relatively large, and the legs are either long or running. Looking at the scratches on the edge of the pothole, it is estimated that he ran here in a panic, and then suddenly saw the pothole and reacted and wanted to stop, but it was unsuccessful. So, was the person before planted directly? ”

Arriving at the edge of the pit, Carlando looked at the bottom of the pitch-black crater and couldn't tell how deep it was.

"Throw a stone down and see? Will it alarm those little blue people? And I don't know how to listen to the sound of a stone falling to the ground to measure the depth. ”

After thinking about it for a while, I thought it would be better to leave this matter to Mitchlin, who was just a wage earner now. Finding an open place not too far from the pothole, Carlando took out the black technology cannon barrel, set the arrow in place, and arranged the connecting wire, so that the flying arrow could fly away smoothly without being pulled back. Then he took out the yellow-marked flare, loaded it into a flintlock pistol, and raised it to the sky.

"Bang!"

A straight yellow line suddenly rose into the air.

A moment later, a green signal echoed. Carlando looked in the direction, and the barrel adjusted to a 45° angle before firing.

With a dull sound, the barrel mount was pressed into the ground by the massive recoil, and the arrow flew towards the green signal with the fishing line.

"It's a really good design, the arrow looks like it should fly straight out of the lost area, and the length of the line is about enough."

Feeling reliable, Carlando found a rock to rest, hoping that they could come along the line instead of running back to the same place.

……

"You guys really came here with a fishing line?"

Looking at the group of people who appeared in front of him, Calando also stood up in some surprise, he always felt that this method was not very reliable, but he didn't expect it to really work.

"Why not? Didn't you say before that getting lost here can't be applied to dead things? We experimented that we would be able to follow the line to reach the location of the arrow, but we would get lost in the choice of shooting the arrow route ourselves. ”

"Do you think getting lost here will affect people's judgment?"

Callando looked at the stubble-haired man in amazement, remembering that his name seemed to be Lessier, and that he was Michlin's henchman.

"Yes, we used to shoot arrows and look for them, but we haven't been around here."

Lessier stared at Carlando for a moment, wondering why he hadn't lost his way.

"What did you find?"

"I found a bunch of little blue people, about the size of a palm. Then they found a hole, and they went in, but I couldn't get in. ”

"Potholes? There's a bunch of little blue people going down? ”

Hearing what Callando said, they all looked incredulous, there are still palm-sized people in this world? Or is it blue?

"Is it really underground...... We got a photo of the object with a lot of buildings in the background, and the farthest part of the photo is earthy. Originally, we were inclined to use a large building, but we didn't expect it to be a soil layer.

Let's go, let's go over and see. ”

The group followed Calando to the pothole, and after a little observation, they prepared to go down to have a look. Make auxiliary tools, leave one person on each side to guard, and tie the ropes one by one.

"The steps embedded in the earth look so delicate, and the supporting structure is not ordinary. Even if our rope breaks suddenly, we can rely on these as support to climb up. ”

Mitchlin, who had the head, took a closer look at the stairs on the pit wall, and then tested his endurance with his hands and said.

After a short descent from the group, the group reached the bottom of the pit, with a drop of almost 20 meters.

"This is a man-made underground cave."

Illuminated by the light of the fire, a horizontal passage appeared in front of everyone, and everyone walked along the passage.

"Do you feel like gravity is gone?"

"Huh? It seems like yes, I feel a lot lighter. ”

"Me too."

……

"Stop! There seems to be some ...... ahead. Collapse? ”

"Any questions?"

"It should be possible."

"Let's go."

……

"It's ...... Organs? ”

"Is it dangerous?"

"It doesn't seem to be, it should have been stimulated."

"Investigate."

……

"There's light ahead!"

"Be careful."

……

As everyone walked out of the passageway, they were greeted by a quiet underground town.

"Finally, I found ......"

When Mitchlin saw the town in front of him, he took out a photo from his arms with some excitement, compared it carefully, and confirmed that it should be here.

"Thank you, that's what you're looking for next. As long as you get your hands on it, whether it is found by the "Black Fire" or what we find, the "Coral" will be completely handed over to the "Black Fire". ”

Mitchlin will take out another photo of the man facing the "Black Fire", only to see a cartouche that resembles something like fruit lying on a delicate tray.

"Devil Fruit!?"

Farfan recognized it the moment he saw the photo.

"What you're looking for is a Devil Fruit? There's a Devil Fruit here? ”

As for the Devil Fruit, Falfan learned from the Dark World after the unification of Issi. This thing is known as the "secret treasure" of the sea because of its unique rebirth rules and strange abilities! Just eat it, and you can gain demonic powers.

"You know that, too! Yes, there should be a Devil Fruit here. If the people who came in before hadn't been eaten, destroyed and taken away. ”

Speaking of this, Michilin also felt a little emotional, he had been looking for the Devil Fruit for a long time, but he was either chasing after the wind or had already been eaten. The most likely way to get it is to attend the big black market auction in the middle of the year in the West Sea, but that kind of place is not what he is qualified to participate in.

And this time, he seems to be within reach.
