A match brushes the red phosphorus on one side of the box.

Laugh at.

The flame sprouts quickly ignited, and when they were thrown into the bone pit sprinkled with kerosene by Qin Ran, the small smoke seedlings immediately turned into raging flames.

The billowing smoke rose into the sky, as if it were a large dark cloud.

Herbert and Peel whispered to the dead.

Even the big guys stood solemnly on the sidelines.

The fire burned for almost two hours.

When the flames gradually decreased, Qin Ran picked up the shovel on the side.

It's not about filling the holes, it's just about collecting the bones that can't be burned and reburying them.

Perhaps, it is still possible to be gouged out by beasts with a keen sense of smell.

But they have done their best.

Peele, the big guy, and even Herbert, the elderly man, joined in the burial and worked until it was dark.

"I swear I'll never eat pizza steak again!"

Sitting by the campfire and resting, Peel said solemnly, eating dry food.

"I think I'll not want to eat ribs for a long time!"

"I've never eaten it in a real sense before."

Qin Ran echoed with a smile.

Of course, the second half of the sentence is said from the bottom of my heart.

As for Caesar steak?

Qin Ran naturally hadn't eaten the food of this copy world either.

However, Herbert on the side explained to him.

"Pisa steak, a steak known for its bone-in, juicy, meaty steak, especially the bright red broth, is even more talked about......

"Gross!"

"Herbert, please don't affect my appetite!"

Before the old scholar could finish his words, Peel made a gesture that he was about to vomit.

Qin Ran also looked like he couldn't stand it.

After all, as the old scholar recounted, he once again remembered the bones in the pit.

Qin Ran quickly shook his head and threw these out of his mind.

He didn't want to forget the beauty of food because of such a thing.

Therefore, he immediately began to change the subject.

"Herbert, when are we going to start?"

He asked.

"Right away, of course!"

Herbert ate the dry food in his hand, stood up, picked up the kerosene lamp beside him, and walked towards the inner city, where he had never set foot.

Qin Ran, Peel, and the big guy followed.

"According to the tradition of the Nick Dynasty, the inner city is generally inhabited by nobles, knights and other people of status, such as merchants, and commoners such as merchants, no matter how rich they are, they can't enter it!"

"In fact, the Nick Dynasty is extremely hierarchical, and if a commoner wants to be promoted to the aristocracy, there is almost no other possibility than to get credit on the battlefield - and to get credit on the battlefield, you have to kill at least 30 enemies with your own hands, and you must have 1 low-level officer!"

Coming to a terrain full of holes, Herbert said, pointing to the holes.

"This should be the inner city."

"They are supposed to be located on high ground, and they themselves are far taller than the buildings in other civilian areas, but over time, they have been submerged in dust and become part of the earth."

"As much as I hate the destruction of antiquities by the Gold Hoarders, I am grateful to them for saving us time."

With that, Herbert lifted the kerosene lamp and chose a hole in the ground and walked in.

Such a selection is obviously not arbitrary.

When Qin Ran, who was holding a kerosene lamp, walked into the cave, he became more and more sure of such an idea.

After a steep dusty slope and narrow walkway, a large flat area appeared, and there was no need to bend over or hold your breath, and the underground space in front of you was far more spacious and airy than expected.

"This should be a nobleman's mansion!"

"The place we entered was his bedroom!"

"Let's go here, let's see what his study will have!"

Herbert said as he walked.

His tone was unusually firm, as if what he was looking for was not part of the ruins of an ancient city from 1,500 years ago at all, but his own back garden.

Every part is like a treasure.

Starting from the aristocratic mansion in front of him, for a whole week, except for the necessary meals and rest, Qin Ran followed Herbert and explored the entire ancient city of Aesop.

The main thing, of course, is to listen to Herbert.

At best, he was observant, and he was wary of danger.

You know your own business.

Qin Ran didn't know anything about the ancient city of Aesop and the Nick Dynasty, and if it weren't for Herbert's explanation, he wouldn't have been able to identify what he was seeing.

Because, in Qin Ran's eyes, everything is pretty much the same.

It's all dirt and stones.

At most, some broken vessels can be identified.

As for more?

Qin Ran couldn't do anything.

Qin Ran was not frustrated by this.

He knew his level very well, and if he wanted to be serious, even those in the original gold digger camp were much more professional than him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Herbert closely.

After all, the other party is the real professional.

And the ever-increasing hints of exploration completion on his retina are the best proof of this.

Although it is not as direct +1% as when you first enter Aesop, during this week, hints such as +0.1% +0.2% will appear from time to time as long as you follow Herbert.

Seeing that the exploration completion level had reached 15%, Qin Ran was extremely satisfied.

Another 5% is when his main quest is completed.

However, with the gradual reduction of the completion level tips in the past two days, Qin Ran understood that if he wanted to obtain a large number of completion degrees in a short period of time, he needed a big discovery, rather than continuing to follow the 'caves' dug by these gold diggers.

In fact, Herbert has been doing this kind of thing.

Every time he left the 'cave' dug by the gold diggers, Herbert was recording something.

Qin Ran couldn't read the records that were completely composed of lines and numbers.

However, Qin Ran knew that Herbert was confirming the possible location of that 'weapon'.

And this is not an easy thing to do.

If it was really easy, the guardian of the ancient city or the night monster would have already succeeded, how could it be possible to wait for them to make a move?

Therefore, Qin Ran didn't urge, just waited quietly.

The same goes for Peel.

It's just that Peel's wait is a night monster.

Over the course of a week, Peel found what he thought was useful from inside the gold prospector camp: a pistol, a large number of bullets and swords, and ...... Bundles of explosives.

The original purpose of these explosives is self-evident.

But now?

The same goes without saying.

……

Night.

A bonfire burned in the original inner city of Aesop, and the big guy kept stuffing it into his mouth with dry food.

Once again, Peel sorted out his weapons.

Herbert continued to write by the light of the fire what only he or his students could understand.

Qin Ran was standing in the shadows on the side of the bonfire, looking around.

It is both a normal vigil and an advance preparation.

A day earlier, he had felt a peeping gaze.

And, more than once.

The malice in it is as sharp as a sword.

"Can't wait?"

Qin Ran guessed.

The Night Monster was far more impatient than he had imagined.

However, this is good news.

Because, only in this way, can it be shown that these monsters have not really reached the point of unscrupulousness, and they also have a sense of urgency.

And where does the sense of urgency come from?

Perhaps the Guardian of the Ancient City of Aesop.

It could also be other hostile forces.

But no matter which one it is, it is good news for Qin Ran, who is now fighting alone.

Sooner, another piece of good news came.

Herbert, who was sitting by the campfire, stood up.

His face was tired, but his eyes were extremely bright.

Without a trace, the old scholar gestured at Qin Ran and Peel.

This is the agreement made by several people after they entered the ancient city of Isu after learning that the night monster has a perception far beyond ordinary people.

And this gesture has only one meaning.

Got it!

That 'weapon' has been found!
