As an adventure, today is not a good day.

After carrying the necessary food, tents, weapons, and the two bottles of healing potions, the Mermaid Song Guild closed its gates and headed for the Eternal Sleep Mountain with the team of adventurers led by Merlin.

Although it was the second time I had visited this mountain range, the heavy rain still caused a lot of trouble. It wasn't until noon that day that the group came to the mine again.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone decided to go into the cave to stay in the cave slightly, which can be regarded as sheltering from the rain and adjusting their state.

"Let's take a break now, rest for half a day, and we'll go into the mine early tomorrow morning to investigate."

Arrow poked his head out to look at the rain outside, and made his own judgment.

But one of the warriors of the adventurer's team looked unhappy and said, "Tomorrow? We're here all day today? It's still noon, and we still have half a day. We've wasted a lot of time and can't afford to waste it anymore. ”

As he spoke, the warrior glanced at the cream over there, and there was indescribable irritability in his eyes.

Arrow looked at the shield he was carrying behind his back and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Linton Barsac, they all call me the Great Shield. Under my protection, every adventure is a thrill and a risk-free adventure! ”

Dadun looked quite confident, and the pride on his face couldn't be hidden.

Arrow exhaled and said patiently, "Mr. Barsack, we may need a lot of time to explore the mines, and instead of having to come back because we are too late and tired in the middle of exploration, it is better for us to rest well now and wait until tomorrow to set off." Second, the rain was too heavy. And my map is also marked, and it is basically all the way down, and it is difficult to guarantee that some places may be flooded, and accidents are prone to occur. So, it's best to wait for the rain to stop before acting. ”

"Adventurers don't take risks!" Brad answered, looking a little happy, "President, I'm right, right?" ”

Ai Luo was a little moved, his books in the past half a month have not been taught in vain!

So, safety always comes first. This is a rule that must be followed even in the adventurer's trade.

But just when Arrow thought he had convinced these people and was ready to camp in peace......

"What if I say we have to go now?"

The voice that spoke didn't seem very harsh, but the unquestionable attitude in his tone made Arrow twitch.

Turning his head, he saw Mage Merlin standing there, holding a staff that looked like it had been carefully carved, and a red magic crystal on the top of the staff looked brilliant.

Arrow was slightly stunned, and wanted to say something. But suddenly, he felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled, and when he looked back, he saw Coco curled up behind him, one hand tightly tugging at the dead branch, and the other hand was dragging the corner of his clothes.

"If there is no opinion, then we will decide to do so, and let's start immediately. Cream, you are at the forefront, use your ability to help us open the way. And all of you from the Mermaid Song Guild, you fight in the front, and we will help you in the rear. ”

There were no harsh words, but the words from the mage's mouth still had such an irresistible power.

Arrow looked at the dark cavern ahead, and then at Merlin's smiling face......

“…… Walk. ”

He knew he had no choice now.

————

Just like the first time, the group continued to descend along the mine, and the heat in the air around them spread rapidly.

However, this time he was well prepared, and the group all brought water, perhaps because of the timely replenishment of water, and Brad's sudden descent into a state of madness like last time never happened again.

Descending the familiar road, the cream ahead is as cautious as the first journey. Every time you turn a corner, you still mark it to see if there are any monster attacks or traps, and only after confirming it is you wave your hand to let the large army behind you follow.

And once they went deep into the mine, everyone in that adventurer's team seemed to be dumb and didn't say a word. The four of them gathered around Merlin and marched cautiously, without the slightest slack.

Seeing that they were walking carefully, Airo quietly quickened his pace, came to the side of Cream who was exploring the terrain in front, and whispered as if he was recording a map: "How were those two city people last time?" ”

Cream knocked on a stone to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, and then lowered her voice and said, "Killed by that Merlin." ”

Although he had long expected that there might not be any good results, such an answer rushed into his ears, and he still made Arrow stunned for a moment.

Cream looked at Arrow's dull face and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I still have to thank you, otherwise, I'm afraid I don't know how I died." ”

As he spoke, the thief raised his hand and pinched his neckline, and with the faint light of the fire, Arrow saw a necklace strung with rope hanging from his neck, but the pendant was a magic crystal ring?

Arrow was pretty sure he didn't have any rings around his neck the last time he met Cream.

However, he didn't ask much, just silently remembered the matter of this magic crystal ring and continued to move forward.

With his first experience, and as the temperature began to drop rapidly, Arrow knew that he was almost reaching the Bloodworm's lair.

Cream's reaction was a step quicker, and he raised his hand to stop the group from moving on, taking a few steps forward alone, checking his surroundings.

With the faint light of the fire, Cream checked the map of Airo, identified a slightly larger area, removed his backpack, and prepared.

Although Arrow didn't have an intuitive feeling about the level of thieves, watching this guy's skillful movements and forming a spiked trap from a handful of fragments in three or two clicks still made Arrow a little admired.

"(Elven whispering), I want to talk to you."

While Iero was observing Cream's actions, a small voice floated in his ears. Turning his head slightly, he allowed Parfay to sit a little more comfortably on his shoulder.

"(Fairy language) Why did you get out?"

Parfay pulled Arrow's ear to stand firm, glancing behind her, and whispered, "(Fairy Talk) I was discovered by that human magician. He's been staring at Brad hiding my pocket since he opened it just now, and since he's found out, I'm going to come out. I have to say, President, I kind of hate that magician. ”

Arrow turned his head slightly, only to see that Merlin was now smiling at him, and that kind of commercial smile was naturally familiar to Arrow.

"The way he looks at me makes me uncomfortable, I met several of you humans before I met Brad, and they looked at me like this magician."

Airo had no doubt about that.

The Flower Fairy is a creature that is both mysterious and beautiful, and one of these characteristics alone is enough to make ordinary humans possessive of it. Not to mention that this creature should still be a very important alchemy material for some magicians, so it is rare to see what one naturally thinks in his heart.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this flower goblin could contribute to the guild, I am afraid that I would have found a way to arrest her and then find a way to sell her.

"I see, I'll keep an eye on this magician. Later, you also have to remember that you must be inseparable from Brad, and you can't be separated. Trust me, he will definitely protect you. ”

Parfay nodded confidently, and at the same time looked at Brad who was also paying attention to this side behind him, this guy's eyes were not only stupid but concern, to say that he would use his life to protect this flower fairy Arrow also believed.

"(Elven words), President, you have to be careful, too. These guys are obviously using us as shields. ”

With that, Parfay fluttered her wings again and flew back into Brad's pocket, who raised his shield to protect the bag containing Parfay, and his eyes began to look around vigilantly.

Shields...... In fact, Arrow really wanted to tell this little goblin that many times the adventurers of the guild did work similar to shields. Doesn't it feel better just thinking about it?

"Alright, everyone be careful."

Cream over there had already installed the Spike Trap set, he took two steps back, took out a large piece of rag from his backpack and placed it next to the Spike Trap set, and made out a mouse that was obviously broken and unable to move, carefully placed it in the center of the trap array, and then put the torch in a corner that was not easy to extinguish to illuminate the trap, took out a needle and stabbed it on the back of the mouse, and when he saw the bleeding, he retreated with everyone and hid in the corner.

Arrow nodded, it seemed that the thief had also thought about how to use the smallest obstacle to get through the bloody worm area.

The crowd hid quietly behind the rocks and waited patiently.

The little mouse was screaming in the darkness because of the pain, and the blood from the wounds on its body gradually spread to the depths of the cavern.

As time slowly flowed, the smell of feces and urine in the air gradually began to thicken.

Arrow knew that what he had been looking forward to had finally arrived.

In the firelight, a bloody insect the size of two palms took the lead in revealing itself.

Slowly, but unrelentingly, it headed towards the rat, oblivious to the spiked trap laid in front of it.

Smack——!

Only a crisp sound was heard, and the bloody insect that hit the head was immediately cut open by the spike trap, followed by a soft bang, and the stinky blood in it immediately splashed like a bomb explosion, staining the stench of the rags around it.

This scene was already used to Arrow and the others, but everyone in the adventurer team except Merlin had an incredible expression. Apparently, they really hadn't seen such creatures anywhere else.

The screams of the little mouse continued, and the second and third bloody bugs continued to crawl over, turning into exploding clouds of pus and blood on the spike trap, coating the rags all around.

This went on for almost an hour, until the already weak mouse finally stopped screaming and passed out, and the needle-pierced wound began to clottle.

Cream took a torch from Arrow's hand and cautiously walked over to the spiked trap to make sure no more bloodworms crawled before waving his hand and beckoning everyone to come over.

"Alright, now let's put on these cloths."

Cream first picked up a piece of cloth that looked the most stinking and draped it over his shoulders, which felt almost the same as the last time.

Ero frowned slightly, and he picked up a piece and looked at it, making sure that the pus and blood on it had completely coagulated and should not get on his hair before putting it on.

Everyone did the same, but the Mage Merlin waved the staff in his hand slightly, and the pus and blood on the ground that should have coagulated immediately swirled as if they had been attracted by some kind of attraction, forming a thin layer of blood mist around him.

Coco's eyes were a little straight as she stared at Merlin.

"Okay." Cream exhaled, pulled out the double short swords at his waist, took a deep breath, and prepared to walk towards the bloody bug area in front of him.

"Wait a minute."

But Arrow immediately stopped him: "The next is the Bloody Bug area, so there shouldn't be any traps or places to investigate, just to be safe...... Brad, can you take the lead? Also, I don't know if these gore bugs are phototaxis, so we need to put out the flames for the rest of the way. ”

Hearing the president's order, Brad, who had been standing behind, quickly extinguished the torch in his hand, raised his shield and hammer, maintained the basic posture of a warrior, and walked forward without complaint.

was about to enter the battle area, but Coco also stretched out his hand, and the undead soldiers immediately took shape, holding rusty swords and following behind Brad, forming a defensive formation and slowly advancing.
