Chapter 8: Gold Drops

Ding Ding Ding ~~

"The twenty-fourth squad of the White Heart Mercenary Regiment has beckoned temporary workers! Those who are willing to sign up for level 25 or above! ”

"Team up! Team up! I know a little about herbal medicine and am proficient in swordsmanship! ”

"Novice team, novice team, invite interested companions to explore the dungeon together!"

……

Danjue City, which is closest to the entrance of the dungeon, is quite popular these days.

The king ordered more investment in the exploration of the dungeon, which more than doubled the price of all the collectibles in the dungeon, and everyone who smelled the smell of money gathered in this place to seek a team to explore the underground together.

At this time, the most popular are the veterans who make a living by exploring dungeons.

"Uncle Tanze, I'll leave it to you this time!"

In a team composed of a large number of newcomers, an old guy who was over half a hundred years old was sitting on a small bench, touching his goatee, and his face was full of smugness.

How many years...... I have been in Danjue City for many years, and today I finally enjoy what it means to be respected.

"You can rest assured, I am familiar with the road conditions on the first three floors of the underground, and I am covered!" Danze said, his face suddenly tightened, "However, even with a veteran like me leading the way, you are not absolutely safe, remember, after going to the dungeon, you must put away your curiosity and ignore the unknown." ”

Seeing these guys who were higher in rank than him, younger and more promising than him nodding like chickens pecking rice, a large sense of accomplishment surged in Danze's heart.

"Alright, if you're ready, let's go." After Dan Ze finished speaking, he communicated with the captain, and after receiving a deposit, he left Danjue City with the group and entered the dungeon.

"Is this the place where the fire happened the other day?"

As soon as they entered the basement floor, everyone was like tourists, stroking and sighing at the surrounding walls. Thanks to the extremely high cost of photography in this world, you need to hire professional magicians, otherwise these people will definitely come to a dungeon to take a group photo.

Dan Ze did not stop this behavior, and the past experience told him: there is nothing to be afraid of in the basement.

The fire incident, which survived to death, was only an incident planned by the deeper underground monster organization, and it had nothing to do with the underground layer, after all, the city lord of the underground layer was said to have died very early.

And he can conclude that there will not be a second large-scale pit killing operation like the Burning Project in the near future, so this level has returned to its former safety.

"Let's go, let's hurry up, arrive at the outpost on the second floor first, show you the temporary stronghold, and then consider where to explore based on the information on the stronghold." Danze clapped his hands, causing the somewhat scattered group to gather and move on with the magic miner's lamp.

Since the fire incident, the torch thing has ...... It was unsalable, and everyone began to resist open flames, so even if the magic lamp was expensive, adventurers would grit their teeth and buy one.

The flickering lights illuminated the surrounding area, but unfortunately the limited lighting range, coupled with the longing of the human figures to block the light, caused the creatures who originally lived under the sun to have some instinctive fear.

"Uncle Tanzawa, is it all so dark after that?"

"Don't worry, it's only the basement that will be so dark, and after the second floor, there are fluorescent flowers and fluorite everywhere, which are relatively bright." Danzer responded, then he stopped at an entrance to make a face, "Go this way, I remember there's a shortcut here." ”

So saying, he walked over with the people.

However, before they could go far on the shortcut path, there was a 'click' from someone's feet, as if they had stepped on something?

"What sound?"

"It can't be a mechanism, right?"

Dan Ze frowned, subconsciously shook his head and said, "We have all gone bad on this road, how can there be any chance......

Finally, before he could say the word 'guan', a distant gurgling sound interrupted him, and then a round boulder rolled out of the darkness.

The illumination range of the low-level magic mining lamp in Danze's hand was ten meters, which meant that when everyone saw the rolling stone, this stone was already less than ten meters away from them!

Run...... It's too late! You can only be frightened in the same place.

Let's chirp~

The Rolling Stone continued with a cloud of fleshy mud, blocking the corner, completely sealing the shortcut.

"Beautiful! It's really decompressing to watch! ”

In the city lord's room, Xiao Hei looked at the meat mud that was crushed by the boulder, and wagged his tail excitedly.

And the Rolling Stones are just the beginning!

Needle Traps, Pendulum Axes, Trap Arrows, Gas Traps...... And so on, there is everything, some of which are the types of traps that come with the dungeon, and the other part is the traps that Lu Qi asked the monsters to make themselves.

A few days later, a rumor spread in Danjue City.

A new city owner was born on the basement floor!

Otherwise, the originally peaceful underground floor would not have suddenly become so dangerous!

The news soon reached the royal capital, and the king, hearing this, slapped the table in the presence of the messenger and said, "This is it! Castle Lord on the first basement! It was he who killed the fourth prince! ”

"Someone, I'm going to issue a kingdom-level bounty, and I want the lord of the first floor of the dungeon! I want this brainless monster to understand that humans are the overlords of this era, and anyone who dares to be an enemy of humans will be wiped out! ”

Soon, the crusade bounty order was issued, and a vicious and abnormal monster image with teeth and claws came into people's field of vision along with the bounty announcement.

"Lord Shred, look at this!"

One day after the bounty was released, a mob who was out touching corpses brought a bounty to the Castle Lord's room.

The little skeleton took the bounty list and glanced at it, and his bone face changed very wonderfully, "Oh, it turns out that in the eyes of humans, the city lord is so handsome. ”

As he spoke, he showed the bounty list to the Snail City Lord.

A snail grazing in the ground indicates ...... It's not a snail!

Still, it's handsome!

Lu Qi leaned over and glanced at the bounty order, and then looked at the snail city lord.

False city lord: tall and mighty, powerful, blue-faced and fanged, three-headed and six-armed, and he can't live without eating human flesh and blood every day.

The real city lord: a heavy shell, a simple appearance, big eyes that retract when poked, like to eat grass, excrete in situ, and can't take care of himself.

", what now? With this bounty, maybe the humans will attack in a big way, and I heard that they have cannons, and they can easily destroy this place? Xiao Hei pushed his head a little worriedly.

"Oh, Xiao Hei, don't worry, these are all in Lu Qi's plan." The little skeleton glanced at Lu Qi, "Is it possible to start the next round of planning?" ”

"Well, let's get started." Lu Qi shook his body up and down, and then checked the content of the plan with the little skeleton to make sure there were no problems.

The last round of the plan, the purpose is to use humans to trigger traps, and then change the terrain, and by the way, pit some adventurers.

Popularity, that's just a by-product.

And with the passage of time, at this time, human beings have become vigilant, and the lethality of many traps has been greatly reduced, except for some more hardcore traps, the rest have no effect.

Therefore, the first step of the new round of the plan is to dismantle these useless or already effective traps and recycle the materials.

And the second part of the plan, which is the core of the whole plan, is to increase the attractiveness of the basement level!

As for the king's bounty, it is essentially just a kingdom face, and there are many similar kingdom-level bounties, so you don't need to care too much about it.

With the dispatch of the little skeleton, a new round of planning is fully launched......

Somewhere on the basement level.

At this time, a team of five people was attacked by skeleton monsters!

"There are actually skeleton archers that only exist on the second floor? Sure enough, there is a new city owner on the first floor! ”

The squad leader's tone was surprised, but his expression was full of disdain, "However, no matter how many of you are, you are just a school of miscellaneous fish at best!" ”

The level of the skeleton monster is level eight, and the level of the skeleton archer is level twelve, which is a dish for this human team with a level 20 foundation.

The battle was soon over, and the team wanted to leave after a little rectification, but at this moment, one of the sharp-eyed team members noticed that the dead skeleton monster actually had a money bag hanging from it!

He scooped it up and took a look:

"Captain, it's silver! Three silver coins! ”

The rest were stunned.

One gold is equal to ten silver, and silver is equal to one hundred bronze.

Three silver coins is already a very good sum of money, enough for them to go back to repair their equipment and go to the tavern to eat and drink by the way.

"It's possible that these monsters happened to touch the corpses of some unlucky people, and then this money bag hung on them." One of the team members speculated.

"I guess so, let's go, it's just a coincidence." The captain shook his head, wrote down the three silver coins in the ledger, and went back to divide them.

Not long after, they encountered another group of skeletons, and after killing them, they once again found a money bag on one of the skeletons.

This time, it was two silver coins and five copper coins.

"This ......"

Several people in the team looked at each other.

A few days later, a word came out of the dungeon that the monsters on the basement floor were starting to drop coins!
