In the deep cave, the residual temperature left by the volcanic potion quickly receded, and the fluorescent spores that permeated the air fluttered with the air current, looking at it like fireflies at night, incomparably gorgeous but killing secrets.

Anduin and the others put away their torches and stood quietly beside the entrance of the cave, looking into the darkness with their night vision, their eyes fixed on the place where the poisonous spores flew. Little White didn't have this ability, nor did he have this height, so he could only squat obediently to the side, holding his breath, for fear of alarming the unknown existence in the dark, he put his little hand on the cold and damp rock wall, and sensed the movement around him with the help of the shaking of the earth.

After a while, his fingers shook slightly, and the little boy suddenly came to his senses, and a strange roar sounded in his ears.

Anduin looked at the place where the sound came from, his expression was a little strange, from his angle, he could see a hairy palm, grasping the stone protruding from the rock wall, and without much force, the huge and sharp nails pierced into the rock, it did not continue to advance, just stood in the invisible shadows, and from time to time fluorescent spores flew up from his arm, so that Anduin realized that those hairy things were probably not hair.

And the reason why he had a different color on his face was because of the feedback from the system, the roar of the mysterious beast was full of warnings, and the other party didn't seem to have much hostility, just reminding Anduin and the others not to approach.

Looking at the palm that was several circles larger than his head, Jones wondered, "Why hasn't this guy moved?" ”

"Not all creatures are hostile to humans." Marin shrugged his shoulders and looked at Anduin, "You can try to communicate with the summon, if there is an accident, we can go home, usually mild-tempered creatures generally do not get angry, but once they get angry, the consequences are immeasurable, that guy's own strength has reached the legendary level, coupled with the overwhelming poisonous spores, no matter what you think, anyway, I don't plan to provoke it, it is best to completely seal this mine road, so as not to cause spores to leak." ”

Joneston's face was bitter and he couldn't help but say, "It's not that serious, is it?" ”

The old fox glared at him, and laughed strangely: "If I hadn't been suppressing it with momentum, do you think we would be able to stand here in a good manner?" I've already tasted the power of poisonous spores when I was on Floating Island, and that damn mutated swamp monster leader has made me and old Fording suffer, but this guy is better than spore toxicity. ”

Jones still wanted to speak, but saw Anduin quietly step forward, and then the mushroom dealer Max appeared in front of everyone, there is a specialization in the art industry, Anduin thinks that at this time, he should send someone to go out, if the kobold of the same underground race can't handle it, then he can only choose to attack, Anduin didn't think about giving up this wealth channel, as for the old fox's words, there are some alarmist suspicions, Anduin knows that he doesn't want to take the risk to take the lead.

Anyway, the elven artifact Cenarius Horn is just right to restrain the poisonous spores, and if you really want to do it, it's just to invest some more upfront money.

"Oh!"

Every time Max appeared, he was accompanied by a startled thick nasal voice, he jumped into the hole quickly, looked at the fluorescent spores flying in the sky, and said with his hands dancing: "This ...... It's such a great place! Anduin, do you have a net? I happen to lack a batch of highly toxic materials, with these spores, I can start developing the corrosive core of those sludge monsters, my mind is full of inspiration, I have already seen a powerful potion that is more powerful than the volcanic potion! ”

Anduin raised his eyebrows, realizing more and more that the mushroom dealer was a rare cash cow, and pointed in the direction of the mysterious monster and said, "I don't have a net, but that one has an infinite number of spores, if you want to get enough materials, go and negotiate with it." ”

Max perked up, and before he could look away, his extremely sensitive nose moved: "Oh! It smells so bad! That guy must have been in a long time since he took a shower, but I like it, hehe, because that's the poisonous bun that makes it! ”

The mushroom dealer didn't think about the danger at all, so he ran to the mysterious monster in a hurry, and the monster's performance was also surprising, obviously it was a legend, but it was so frightened that he turned around and avoided it, it seemed that there was still a lot of cowardice in his gentle character, Anduin estimated that if it weren't for the poisonous spores, it would have died in the cruel competition of the underground world a long time ago.

"Hey! Don't run, man! Let's talk! Max slowed his pace and opened his palms to show that he was not hostile, "You have a familiar smell on you, who could it be?" Oh! Damn, I can't even remember. ”

"Dimension...... ...... Looks"

"Yes!" The mushroom dealer slapped his head sharply, his eyes lit up, "That's the guy!" He offended Towager in the first place, and he ran away with me! Hey? So you can talk! That's right, it doesn't take too much effort to communicate, do you have a name? I think we have a big business to talk about! ”

The mysterious monster that stayed in the cave said in a jerky kobold language, "Ixrid's called...... Ix Reed ...... It was Vickers who gave Ixreid a ...... You hurry up and get out...... Ix Reid doesn't want to talk to you about business...... You're going to die...... You're going to die......"

"Dead?" The kobold opened his trench coat and crossed his waist and said, "If you think that these poisonous spores can poison me, you would be naïve, the great Max is omnipotent!" If it weren't for my recent bad appetite, I'd like to try them. ”

Ix Reid seemed shocked by the kobold's statement, and after a long time of hesitation, he said, "No...... No way...... You're going to die...... The spores of Ixrid will poison you...... Wix said...... Don't let Ix Reed get close to anyone else...... Ix Reid didn't want to kill...... Let's go...... Ix Reid is going back......"

"Wait!"

Max, the mushroom dealer, raised his hand to stop, and let out a yin and yang snort in his nose: "You'd better not believe that guy's words, Vickers has already gone completely crazy, he thinks he is a troll, if I hadn't been alert, I guess I would have entered that guy's stomach long ago!" Ix Reed ...... Oh, what a nasty name, I can tell you're not having a good time, why don't you get rid of that guy and be my companion? Your fungus garment is even more gorgeous than Towager's throne, and I can't wait to pet it! ”

Roar!

Ixried roared again, this time with anger added to his voice.

"Ixried is not hard to hear...... Ix Reid liked the name...... Wix ...... Wix is a good guy...... You can't insult him...... If you don't leave...... I'll tell Wix...... Vickers will tell the ghost mother Glop...... You're going to die...... You're all going to die......"

The mushroom dealer did not give up, and wanted to use his three-inch tongue to persuade Ixrid on the spot, but Anduin realized that the voodoo master Vickers had a very high status in his heart, and the mushroom dealer's chattering and counting down the other party could only cause Ixrid's disgust, although it was possible to startle the snake now, but Anduin did not want to face the voodoo master and the ghost mother too early, these two powerful beings who did not know the depths.

Forcibly called back by Anduin, the mushroom dealer was very dissatisfied, he pointed to the passage where Ixrid had left, and asked, "Anduin! What the hell are you going to do? I can guarantee that in less than five minutes, that cute big guy will be my good buddy! ”

"Needless to say, less than 10% may not be said." Anduin waved his hand, "Let's talk about the situation of Voodoo Master Vickers first, I didn't expect you to have a relationship." ”

Max crossed his arms and snorted, still dissatisfied with Anduin's orders, and reluctantly said, "Vickers is a madman! I've heard others say that he stumbled upon a troll ruin, came into contact with voodoo spells, and then thought of himself as a troll, chattering all day long, it seemed that there had been a lot of trouble, Towager wanted to catch him, but he escaped, just during that time, I also robbed the golden kobold, and ran with him for a few days, and then I thought this guy was not easy to get along with, so I found a chance to slip away, but I didn't expect him to hide here, it seems to be quite nourishing! ”

Speaking of this, a solemn look appeared on Max's face: "Many of the fungus clothes on Ix Reid only exist in the records, which should be inseparable from Vickers, when I ran away with him, I listened to him chant what voodoo spells are feasible, and after all these years, I am afraid that he has really made a name." ”

The old fox Marin is proficient in kobold language, and warned Anduin: "Although the troll race is rare now, but no matter what, they are also a powerful race from ancient times, and they used to compete with elves for hegemony, looking at the vicious events that have occurred over the years, at least thirty percent of them are related to trolls or trolls' voodoo spells, and the voodoo spells mastered by Vickers should belong to the more powerful forbidden spells, Anduin, I hope you think about the possible consequences before making a decision." ”

"There's nothing to think about, whether it's from a development perspective or for security reasons, Stormwind Town will have to deal with the problems here sooner or later, and find and solve them as soon as possible, so as not to delay the completion of Stormwind City and cause additional impact." Anduin's attitude was very resolute, and he turned his head to look at Jones, who looked uneasy, "President Jones, is your Explorers Guild capable of cleaning up this ruin?" ”

Although Jones didn't want to admit it, he could only shake his head helplessly, judging from the information he had now, there were at least three legendary existences in this ruin, and Ixrid, who had the deadly spores, was probably the weakest existence, Voodoo master Wesker and ghost mother Glopp were not clear, and there were even a terrifying number of ooze monsters hidden in the dark.

The Silver Chapter is in urgent need of development, and it is impossible to accept such a situation, only to unite other forces is the best solution, but in this case, it will inevitably face the problem of "sharing the spoils", this mine leading to the underground world was originally Anduin's private property, Jones was happy that Anduin revealed this vital secret to him, but he did not think that he could share such resources in vain.

According to his plan, the Explorers' Guild will take all the risks of exploring the ruins, and the final proceeds will be divided among Anduin, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, and Jones, who wants to get off to a good start, can only accept the reality that everything is difficult at the beginning, and said to Anduin: "Marquis Anduin, let's explore together." ”

"Yes, this mine, I was not going to open it for free, if the two sides can cooperate this time, firstly, I will waive the ticket money for the silver branch in the future, secondly, the final income of this expedition will be divided according to the amount of effort of both parties, and finally, the silver branch can use this mine as publicity."

The underground world is so vast, Anduin is not prepared to swallow it himself, the Silver Branch of the Explorers Guild is the first large organization to enter Stormwind Town, so Anduin gave extremely generous conditions, which can be regarded as a thank you to Jones and those explorers for taking care of the inn business, if it were not for their "generosity", the Hearthstone Hotel would not be on the right track so quickly.

Hearing this, the overjoyed Jones couldn't believe his ears, and he didn't advance two of them, just the last condition, which made him excited, if he let the people of other chapters know that the Silver Chapter sits on the underground passage in the center of the continent, it may attract many people, and Anduin will exempt the ticket money of the Silver Branch by name, which will inevitably make some explorers and warriors who are interested in exploring choose to join the Silver Branch.

At that time, silver ...... No, it's the Storm Chapter of the Explorers Association, which is bound to grow rapidly, not to mention competing with the club, at least it can come out on top in the club rankings.

Jones hurriedly agreed, and then Anduin was moved by emotion and "profit", letting the old fox Marin stay here to monitor the situation, and the three of them left the mine to prepare to officially explore the underground ruins.

Compared to Jones, who was busy gathering people, Anduin didn't have much work, anyway, he was an army alone, so he only notified the adjudicator Tuhart, there were two legendary powerhouses of her and the old fox Marin, plus Renault and several legendary retinues, the high-end combat power was enough to crush the voodoo master and others in the ruins, and Jones also knew that this operation was extremely important, so the selection was all elite soldiers, and there were not many people, but they could all take charge of themselves.

Sonia heard about the upcoming clean-up operation, but she didn't have the time to participate, because the changes on the floating island made her realm rise too quickly, and Fording was worried about hidden dangers, so she was busy consolidating the foundation for Sonia these days, although she wanted to participate in the adventure, she could only stay in the Hearthstone Hotel, and ravage the Jenny turtle and the little fire dragon around her.

Renault's arrival was faster than expected, and he brought a lot of belongings and members of the Silver Chapter with him on this trip, and it was considered that the main body of the branch was moved to Stormwind Town in advance, and it is worth mentioning that Anduin's old acquaintances appeared in the crowd.

"Anduin, long time no see." Eddard, the legendary knight with the True Silver Sword in his hand, jumped off his white horse and smiled at Anduin and asked, "I wonder if you still welcome me, an incompetent night watchman?" ”

"Of course, the doors of the Hearthstone Inn are always open to you."
