"To the volcanic belt?"

The short city man asked.

But Arrow's judgment didn't know if he was right. The smell of feces and urine is indeed very similar to the smell of sulfur, but it is not hot now, and it is so humid...... It doesn't feel like it's close to a volcanic zone.

Coco took a step towards the wall, and she reached out to support it, but the moment her hand pressed against the wall......

A soft, slimy sensation came to her mind through the palm of her hand.

"Ahh——!h

The sudden scream startled the whole team! Arrow turned, but Coco slammed behind him and pointed at the wall!

The glow of the flames flickered and unsettled, and Arrow could only see something that seemed to cut down the wall.

"Be careful! There's something on the wall! ”

Without being reminded by Arrow, Brad was already fully on guard as early as the moment Coco screamed. Cream also instantly pulled out the two short swords at his waist and held them in the palm of his hand, and a group of people gathered back to back, vigilant around.

They held their breath and waited.

But where the fire lit, there was no movement.

The humidity in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and the smell of feces and urine is like trying to bury people's noses, desperately drilling into people's noses......

It was at this time that ......

"Wow——!"

The short city people who were protected in the center suddenly screamed! Everyone turned around, only to see a huge wriggling dark red bug on his exposed face!

"Don't move!"

Cream hurriedly came over and swung his sword to cut off the bug, but the short city man shook his body because it was too painful, and he fell to the ground in pain and rolled repeatedly, and he also avoided Cream's short sword.

"Don't move! Feed! ”

Seeing the city people who kept rolling on the ground, Cream suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do. Coco on the side hurriedly stretched out a small branch, and the undead soldiers guarding behind him quickly rushed forward with an arrow! In terms of speed, the undead soldier may not be as fast as Cream, but it steadied the rusty sword, and after a brief pause of less than half a second, it immediately swung its sword and stabbed it with unmistakable accuracy as the short city man kept rolling, and then picked it up and threw it to the ground.

"Drink!"

Brad followed up with a hammer, and the moment the hammer fell, the bugs exploded like a flesh bomb, splashing everyone around. In an instant, everyone was filled with a disgusting smell as if they had just been fished out of the dung pit.

The short city man was still screaming in pain, but the tall city man immediately took out the healing potion from his waist and poured a little bit on his face, and then gave him a drink. Soon, the upturned flesh on his face gradually calmed down, and his expression calmed down.

"What the hell is this?"

Brad clutched the hammer, looking a little nervous.

But instead of asking what these things were, Iero was more concerned about how the worm was attacking the people in the city.

With just a thought, several people raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at the ceiling above their heads......

Originally, I thought it was a rocky ceiling, but now it is filled with a lot of insects.

Dense...... Dense!

The whole ceiling is! Not just the entire ceiling, the walls on the side, but also on the floor! Under the light of the torches, the huge insects that looked as bright red as flesh and blood were accumulating and swarming!

"Burn it with fire!"

The tall city man raised the torch in his hand and waved it at the insects that crawled over, but these insects seemed to be completely unafraid of the flames, suppressed the torches and continued to crawl over!

Since the flames can't work, then kill them one by one just like just now!

"Brad! Watch defensive! Try to protect the important parts of your head and face! (Fairy Language) Parfay! Apply the scent to Brad's shield! Coco, let your undead soldiers kill any Brad's bugs! ”

Brad raised his shield to protect his face, and Parfay immediately circled around the shield, and the rich fragrance immediately became a fresh smell in the stinking flesh. The bloodworms immediately pounced on Brad's shield as soon as they smelled it, jumping up one by one, and soon three of them were glued to his shield.

The undead soldier immediately attacked, and the rusty sword in his hand quickly struck out, and in an instant, the plasma burst again, and the fragrance was immediately masked.

Parfay hovers and flies out, once again applying the fragrance. Brad withstood the onslaught of the gore bugs and swung his hammer to smash the gore bugs crawling from the ground. Cream circled the crowd, and the bloody insects that weren't very attracted by the scent would immediately become bursts under his dagger as soon as they approached.

Round after round, round after round.

The plasma on everyone's bodies is no longer covered with an unknown number of layers, and the stench alone is enough to smoke people to faint!

Seeing that Parfay's strength to exude the fragrance was getting weaker and weaker, Cream and Coco were about to start to lose their breath.

"Damn, it's endless!"

But just after Arrow stepped on a bloody bug and splashed his legs full of feces and urine again......

The bloody bugs that had been desperately attacking the team gradually became less crazy.

With a few more rounds of fighting, the bloodworm's desire to attack became less and less, and after another ten minutes, they began to swim along the wall on their own, gradually stopping and not moving.

"What's going on?"

The bodies of the tall city people had been dyed blood-red, and the faces that were exposed on the outside were still a little human-colored.

Arrow looked at his face covered with plasma, and then felt the indescribable stench around him, and made a decision at the moment-

"We'll withdraw now, right now!"

"Withdraw? This is not possible. ”

The tall city man took a bottle of potion from his belt again and opened it. Coco, who has a magical affinity, immediately felt a ripple of water vapor -

"We haven't achieved anything yet, it's not my rules to leave now!"

Unfortunately, before he could pour the potion on top of his head, Cream pressed his hand one step faster and said with a smile: "Don't 'purify', we have finally been contaminated with these smells, do you want these things to splash you again?" ”

The tall city man snorted: "Then we can't just leave!" ”

"No, you have to leave. Have you forgotten the terms I agreed with you before I came? When the conditions are met, we immediately stop exploring and return immediately! ”

Looking at Cream's eyes, the tall city man seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, put away the bottle of purification potion, and reached out to pull up the short city man.

Once the decision is made to leave, the speed of the crowd is definitely much faster than when they came.

Quickly moving along the markers along the way, while reversing backwards, Airo was also vigilant all the way to see if there were any other magical beasts around him that would suddenly rush out.

Fortunately, a glimmer of light appeared in the cave in front of him, and when the sky reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, Arrow couldn't help but take a deep breath......

Well, I was almost smoked by the smell of my own body.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the day had passed in the mine.

Back to the camp, you look at me, and I look at you. This expedition was as embarrassing as it could be. Even if it is a woman dressed as a man, Airo still hopes that he can take a shower as soon as possible and clean his stinking body.

However, the two people in the city, each with a bottle of purification potion, poured it, and the blood stains on their bodies were gone, and the whole person seemed to have just come out of the bathhouse, and there was no smell at all.

Coco: "Brother President...... You...... Why are you looking at me like that? Am I doing something wrong? ”

"No, we have to continue to study hard when we go back."

"Comforting" Coco, Arrow turned his head, only to see that the two city people had now taken care of their bags and left. Cream ran over, glanced at everyone with a smile, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, everyone, the task is complete!" Let's go home and take a shower, the big guys don't want to be around stinky people like us, so go first. I'll go first, goodbye! Little fish. ”

"Hey, wait a minute."

Arrow crossed his hips with one hand and said—

"What kind of conditions do you mean when you meet certain conditions and return immediately?"

Cream scratched his cheeks, rolled his eyes with a purlene, and said with a smile: "Hehe, after this expedition, I understand it, your guild is a complete layman for such things as expeditions, right?" One by one, there is no preparation at all, whether it should be forward or backward depends entirely on your sense of growth. And, you seem like a guy who doesn't know anything but shouting? Hehe, it's funny, a person who doesn't know martial arts and magic is actually the president of an adventurer's guild? Hahaha! ”

After saying that, Cream didn't seem to want to continue with Airo, so she picked up her bag and turned around to leave.

"If you don't tell me, I'll catch up with those two city people now, so that they can come to us directly to the Mermaid Song if they have any problems in the future, and they don't have to go through your intermediary. If you take two gold coins, I only need one gold coin, and I'm afraid it won't be much worse than you in terms of cost performance. ”

Arrow didn't intend to let Cream leave like this, so even if it was a strong argument, he had to let him stay and make it clear.

Sure enough, Cream shook her head, turned her head again, and continued to look at Arrow with a contemptuous attitude, and sneered, "Oh, threaten me? ”

"I can see it as a plea."

"Heh, a guild leader like you, it's the first time I've seen such a shameless guild leader. You've got such a cute face. Last night I was thinking that if I dressed you in women's clothes and sold them on the black market, maybe I could sell them for a good price. ”

After a slight pause, Cream continued—

"I tell you, then why do you think what I say must be true? Maybe I'm lying to you? Hehe, I don't think a newcomer to adventure like your guild can see through whether what I'm saying is true or not. Besides, do you really think that with the level you just had, you would be able to protect those two city people without me? ”

Arrow thought for a moment, and the habitual smile on his face floated again: "I'm a guild leader, but I'm also a businessman. ”

Cream: "So? ”

Arrow: "We can do a business, a business that's good for both of us. In this way, starting today, I authorize you, Robin Cream, to spread the word in the name of our Mermaid Song Guild. Just like this time, the next time someone wants to visit the mine, you can call them to me. ”

After hearing this, Cream couldn't help but laugh. This kind of laughter was really impolite, even so impolite that Brad, Parfay, and Coco in the back couldn't help but stand up and look at Cream with a hostile expression.

"Are you stupid for me? Hahaha! Or are you a fool? Oh, and I'm not only going to tell you my business secrets, but even help you get business? Hey, I saw yesterday that you were quite organized when you taught them to read, but I advise you to read more books yourself, otherwise I'm afraid that your guild members will be taught by you, and the more you teach, the more fools you will become! ”

Coco has long been unhappy with Cream, not to mention that now Brad is also being ridiculed and a little uncomfortable.

But Arrow still smiled, waiting for this guy to finish laughing, and then said slowly: "Since I said that it is a win-win cooperation, I naturally have a win-win reason." Do you know where those two city dwellers came from? ”

Cream was slightly stunned and snorted, "I know, but why should I tell you?" ”

Arrow didn't hear it, and continued, "It's likely that they are from the capital city of Hanhai City. ”

For a moment, the pretended knowing smile on Cream's face froze.

"Do you think they came all the way from the capital to this kind of border just to get a, smell of feces and urine, and then go back?"

Finally, Cream's stiff smile gradually retracted.

"I don't know what they were visiting the mine for, but I'm sure it won't be the last. There will be a lot of people who want to visit the mine next. Do you know what that means? ”

"First of all, Pelican Town is the closest town to the Changmian Mountains, and although the town is not big, it is also the largest of the few towns in the vicinity."

"It also means that those people will definitely arrive at Pelican Town before visiting the Sleeping Mountains, just like you will stay at the Unicorn Bar for the first time in Pelican Town."

"If you enter Pelican Town, you will know that there is only one guild in the town, which is our Mermaid Song. In this case, those who want to visit the mines are likely to approach us with Mermaid Song. ”

"Now that we've been in the mine once and have some knowledge of the insides, our guild can take on a large part of the work. In other words, it's a whole lot of money that can be made. ”

"Of course it's none of your business here. But on the other hand, you are also the one who has successfully returned from a visit to the mine, and it is entirely possible that someone will want to continue the visit to the mine next time. In this case, you don't have any manpower, so you still have to come to our guild in comparison. ”

"Outsourcing is cool, but if you keep outsourcing, others will know that it's more convenient to come directly to our guild than to ask you. Isn't that just one less way to make money for you? ”

"So we can maximize our benefits if we work together. You are promoting the operation outside in the name of Mermaid Song, and if someone comes through your introduction, just report your name at our counter, and I can give them a 20% discount. Then you will receive a fifth of the commission fee you earn. If you're willing to get involved, then the extra money counts. ”

"In this way, wouldn't you just have to use your lips to make money without being as dangerous as you are today? I don't think that's a bad idea. ”

After listening to Arrow's words, Cream, whose face was full of disdain just now, now pinched his chin and frowned and thought about it.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head with a suspicious attitude and looked at Arrow: "You...... Do you really want to do that? ”

Arrow put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "As I said, a win-win situation is far more fun than destroying each other. ”

Cream continued to pinch her chin and think for a moment, then raised her head: "Just for my trade secrets?" ”

Arrow shrugged, "Your trade secrets may be quite important to me. As you said, our guild lacks experience in adventures, so if we can quickly get the experience of old adventurers, it is more important than any money. ”
