Bloody wasteland, outside the cave.

Lan Wu stood outside the dark entrance to the cave, and looked inside. This cave is not called a cave but an underground labyrinth. Yesterday he insisted on refusing Volod's voluntary follow, and instead received the magic map provided by Volod.

This magic map is magical, just like the map in the game, which automatically records the path taken. For underground labyrinths like caves, this magic map is indeed the best choice.

"Uncle, are you sure you can win them?" Flora was nervous. She knew the value of a gold ring among professionals, and she didn't want Lan Wu to lose this precious gold ring.

"Lose?" Lan Wu tilted his head and asked strangely, "Why did I lose?" ”

"There were three of them." Flora held up three fingers and solemnly reminded, "They are all high-level professionals. Dealing with monsters in the cave is as easy as drinking water. Relatively speaking, they have a better chance of getting magical equipment than we do. ”

"You're still young." Lan Wu kindly touched Flora's head and said with a smile: "You don't need to pay attention to the dirty hooks between adults. But to be on the safe side, you'll have to promise me. You can't go ahead of me under any circumstances. ”

"Why?" Flora was dazed.

Lan Wu didn't say anything, just pointed to Flora's white navel. The latter blushed and guessed the reason. This leather armor, which is almost indistinguishable from a swimsuit, has been so heavily modified that most of the magic in the leather armor has dissipated, and it remains to be seen whether it can play a defensive role.

"I can protect myself." Flora was worthy of being a rebellious girl, and she raised her short bow with a look of disdain.

"Good, good, you can protect yourself. It's all my fault. Lan Wu raised his hand in surrender, lit the torch and walked into the cave first.

The inside of the cave was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. The dim light of the torches illuminated less than three meters. It's hard to see from a little farther away. A gloomy wind blew, and the torches shook violently a few times. The firelight flickered, and the strange rocks not far away became more and more terrifying.

"It's all your fault, why did you choose this hellish place for the gambling fight." Flora's voice floated from behind her, and it seemed to be a little crying.

Lan Wu smiled and ignored it. It can't be said that from the very beginning of his meeting with the three Gross, he planned to coax the three high-level professionals to complete the task assigned by Akara for him.

When proposing the gambling environment, Volod's reaction was a reflection of the fact that Akara had simply given himself the task. He couldn't think of any other plausible explanation other than that it was a test.

Since it is a test, it is of course him who is being examined. Then the rest doesn't matter. The important thing is to be able to come out of the cave alive. As for Gross, the three of them...... If he can use their power to completely clean up the monsters in the cave, I believe that even if Akara guessed that this was his deliberate doing, he would never object to borrowing three powerful high-level professionals to help clean up the cave for free.

After all the monsters in the cave have been destroyed, the gamble is really over. This is a bet made by Lanwu and Gross.

The inside of the cave is spacious enough for a person to run and jump in it. Lan Wu led the way with a torch in front, and soon saw a slow-moving rotting corpse slowly walking in the dim light of the fire.

"Flora." Lan Wu was worried that Flora had not found the target, so he reminded him. Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice started, there was a swish in my ear, and a strong wind almost crossed my ear.

Burst.

Sharp arrows pierced through the carrion's chest, peeking out from behind. Then another sharp arrow struck, hitting the rotting head of the carrion. The rotting corpse screamed and fell to the sky, never to get up again.

"Stay away from me next time." Lan Wu solemnly warned as he raised his staff and aimed it at the corpse to bring the skeleton back to life. When the skeleton he had just summoned stepped into the firelight, he looked up and down thoughtfully.

The summoned skeleton seems to be the same little skeleton it was from. The same slender bones, the same short bone knife, and even the shape and size of the skull seem to be exactly the same.

"Cool." A whistle floated behind him. Flora apparently didn't take Lanwu's warnings to heart, but was more interested in the little skeletons he had summoned.

After absorbing the demonic qi escaping from the rotting corpse, the remaining demonic qi was condensed, turned into two gold coins and fell to the ground. Lan Wu stepped forward to pick up the gold coins and instructed the little skeleton to clear the way. The pitch-black environment apparently had no effect on the undead.

Walking all the way to the depths of the cave, he killed more than a dozen rotting corpses one after another. It's a pity that in addition to gold coins, gold coins are still gold coins. Flora was so anxious that she couldn't help but keep chattering in Lan Wu's ear.

"Uncle, why haven't you come out with magic equipment after killing so many carrion corpses?"

"It's all your fault for gambling with them. What happens if I lose my ring? ”

"God, it's gold again."

“……”

Lan Wu rolled his eyes. He doesn't deny that Flora's voice is beautiful and relaxing. But the content made him a little uncomfortable. He had to warn again: "You are just a mercenary, you can only follow my orders." ”

"Yes, yes." Flora obviously didn't pay attention to it, chewing on the response that Cool Katan didn't have a match, and ******** on tangling with what the next monster could explode. This made Lan Wu have an urge to train and train this rebellious girl.

The further you go into the cave, the more often and in greater numbers of monsters appear. Fortunately, they are all rotting corpses. Although the damage of the small skeleton is low, it is not slow to move forward with Flora's bow and arrows.

Warm currents emerge in the body. Lan Wu was promoted to level 4. The little skeleton has also been upgraded to level 3. After the upgrade, the damage of the little skeleton has increased slightly, and it can reach the level of the skeleton summoned by the resurrection of ordinary first-level skeletons.

But that's enough.

The little skeleton slaughtered in front of him, slashing the rotting corpses one by one. It's just that Lan Wu's luck is quite bad. The only thing that came out was still gold. Flora became even more nervous and anxious. If you continue to develop like this, you won't be able to get a few pieces of magic equipment at all.

Lan Wu was not in a hurry at all. He spent his time following the little skeleton, occasionally picking up gold coins from the ground. Angry that Flora opened her bow and arrows several times, and had the heart to remind her of the existence of the gambling fight.

At this moment, there was a ding, and the pleasant sound of metal falling to the ground echoed in the dark cavern. Flora immediately excitedly crossed over to Lan Wu to pick up the first piece of equipment that exploded.

"Wait." Lan Wu looked serious and stopped Flora: "I said you weren't allowed to walk in front of me." ”

Flora was uncharacteristically and said weakly, "I see." Can you let go of your hand? ”

Lan Wu's face did not change, let go of the hand that was unfortunately holding Flora's right chest, and apologized lightly: "It was just an accident." You know, it's normal to see clearly in this pitch black environment. ”

"I didn't ...... Never mind. Flora lowered her head and said weakly in a voice that could only be heard by herself, "I will ...... as long as you need I ......"

"Okay, I need you to follow me and not overtake me." Lan Wu solemnly reminded again.

"But...... But we, Rogge......" Flora was stunned. Before she could finish speaking, Lan Wu had already interrupted her: "You should follow your heart. ”

"Maybe some people use Rogge as a tool to vent their desires. But that's not Rogge's duty. Lan Wu looked away and continued, "Rogge is an assistant to the professional and a teammate. The identities of both parties are equal, and there is no such thing as high or low. ”

"I've been deceived by them, and my soul is weak." Flora regained her original liveliness and spat the ground: "They told me that if I want to go to a better Rugoin, I must please the professional with my body. This is the only way to avoid being terminated from the employment contract by them. ”

"Well, these are faint souls." Lan Wu was as good as a stream, and took the opportunity to angrily brush Flora's favorability.

"Uncle, I like you." Flora boldly took Lan Wu's right hand.

"Hmm, so I should have a big bed?" Lan Wu was thoughtful.

"Let's wait until I really fall in love with you." With a series of silver bell-like smiles, Flora let go and ran to the back.

Lan Wu smiled and stepped forward to pick up the first piece of equipment that exploded. It's a bit of a shame, it's just an ordinary piece of leather armor. He tucked his leather armor into the space pocket and continued to direct the little skeleton to clear the way in front.

The first piece of equipment was revealed, and the rest of the journey was full of surprises. Flora's screams of surprise echoed through the dark cavern again and again.

"Blue, it's a blue ring."

"Cool, it's blue shoes."

"Wow, it's exploding again, blue hat."

"Hey, alas, it's a white hand axe."

“……”

Lan Wu enjoyed Flora's pleasant laughter. He picked left and right, and replaced all the low-grade white clothes on his body with the whiteboard equipment he had just typed. Putting on new equipment, he was completely renewed, and finally looked like an ordinary professional, not a low-grade goods, like a beggar.

Picking up a garbage blue fist sword again, Lan Wu took out the magic map to check. The pitch black environment makes you lose track of time. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been in the cave. Just looking at the map, you have entered the depths of the cave.

"Let's go back first." Lan Wu put away the magic map and turned back to greet Flora.

"Why?" Flora is worthy of being a rebellious girl, and almost subconsciously opposes it.

"Efficiency." Lan Wu had to explain in detail: "Fight monsters, explode equipment, change to better equipment, and then fight monsters." That's a good cycle. We're still short of identification scrolls, town teleportation scrolls, antidotes, and so on. Go back and sell these things, buy all the supplies, and come back to stay here longer. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then solemnly added: "More importantly, it is necessary to go back to resupply as soon as possible." ”

"Why?" Flora was puzzled.

Lan Wu had to explain in more detail: "The three of them won't leave us much time. They carried forward the style and let us go a day earlier. But after a day, once they block the exit of the cave, we will face a dilemma. If we run into them, we will be killed by them and snatch the ring. To avoid them, we had to go deeper into the cavern. Without enough supplies, we won't be able to escape the monsters safely. Got it? ”

"It's all your fault." Flora was in a hurry. She dragged Lan Wu and walked back, complaining regretfully, "If you didn't take out that ring." How could we be targeted by them. ”

Lan Wu smiled and said nothing, adding in his heart: "If it weren't for this ring, how could it be possible for these three high-level professionals to do their best to help me complete this test." ”

Following the instructions of the magic map, the two walked out of the cave. It was late at night, and a huge full moon was hidden in the faint dark clouds, but it was a rare good weather.

Lan Wu was worried, ignored Flora's complaints, and returned to Rog's camp overnight. When dawn came, the two walked to Acala's tent in the morning dew.
