Chapter 258: The Pothole

"Adventurers, this is the No. 6 pit that has been dug through, and you can reach the wall of the ruins from here", a cunning thief with a skewed eye stopped outside a makeshift camp for adventurers, this thief is a broker, squatting outside the tavern in the river python village, specially introducing the adventurers who have just arrived how to go to the ruins.

"This is your commission", Hui'er took out 20 gold and handed it over, the thief's eyes looked at the second ancestor and his knight, and after a little thought, he took the money and nodded.

"This guy clearly has bad intentions!" The second ancestor walked over and said to Hui'er dissatisfied.

"You don't have to worry about my business, Shidel, you just take care of yourself!" Hui'er said angrily, this bullshit baron's son pesters himself every day, and he doesn't even understand the rules of paying for news, and he almost had a dispute with the Nord people in the tavern yesterday, if it weren't for the good relationship between his baron's father and his own old man, he slapped himself earlier, which was completely cumbersome and unhelpful.

This temporary camp is not big, just surrounded by a few stout and sharpened wooden stakes, two teams of mercenaries with weapons are patrolling the camp, and a few other idle guys came over, "This is the No. 6 pit, the first adventurer pit to dig into the ruins city wall, it belongs to our Mortal Sword Mercenary Group and the Wild Fox Mercenary Group, if you want to enter the ruins from here, 2 gold coins per person, if you don't want to, please leave!" ”

"Damn, how can this also collect money, the guy who brought us here just now has already collected money!" Young Master Shidel roared angrily.

"I'm sorry, this is where our two mercenary groups dug it out day and night, naturally we have to collect money, where is there a free lunch in the world, as for the person who led the way just now, we don't know it, and it's not our person, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the river python village to find him!" The warrior with the great axe said indifferently.

"What if I don't want to pay!"

"So you're here to find trouble?" The Giant Axe warrior retreated cautiously, and at the same time clenched the giant axe in his hand, and the patrol team in the camp quickly surrounded him.

"Shut up, Shidel, you idiot!" Hui'er couldn't help but scold, "We're here to take risks, not to fight, bastard, if you don't want to pay, just get out of here, don't drag us down!" ”

"What, I'm dragging? You~" The second ancestor took a few breaths, and finally didn't scold, if it weren't for your father's sake, slut! Shi Del turned his head to look at Lin Ze and stretched out his hand, "You trash, hand over your money bag!" ”

Lin Ze was stunned, "Me? The war burned to him inexplicably, Lin Ze reached out and took off the money bag on his waist, poured all the coins into his hands, a total of a little more than 3 gold, Lin Ze took out two gold coins and threw them to the giant axe warriors in the camp, "This is my share!" Then the rest was put back in his pocket and handed to the Second Ancestor.

"Bastard! Who made you pay! Shidel was furious.

"Huh? Didn't you tell me to take out my purse bag and make up the money? Lin Ze scratched his hair suspiciously.

"You~hum!" Shi Del snatched Lin Ze's money bag and turned his head to look at his subordinates, "Why are you stunned, don't take out the money yet!" ”

The Greataxe Warrior relented and waved at the patrol to keep them on patrol.

……

The inside of the pit is not spacious, it is a passage that slopes downward, and you can see a simple wooden support frame after a few steps, and the wall of the passage is lit by torches flickering at intervals, Lin Ze was following the team to look around casually, and suddenly a contemptuous gaze fell on him.

"Coward, coward!" Miss Hui'er glanced at Lin Ze with disdain, and whispered a few words as she walked past him.

Lin Ze continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard it, as a cosmic explorer, he didn't care about reputation or anything, if there was one less thing in the expedition, there would be one less thing, and in the same way, anyone who dared to offend the explorer would never sit idly by and watch if he could fall into the well, this is the code of conduct of the cosmic explorer.

"When you arrive, you can enter the outer wall of the ruins", the mercenary who led the way stopped, "The rest is your own business, we are the sixth pothole, you don't need money when you come out, but if you want to come back in after you go out, it is still 2 gold per person, of course, you can also choose not to go out, buy supplies from us." ”

"Well, I see", the dwarf mage nodded, and walked with everyone to the passage inside the city wall, before turning his head and asking, "Where do we go next?" Left or right? Or ......"

"Punching holes? Don't, let's go to the right", Hui'er instantly understood the words omitted by the mage, as the daughter of the earl, the second in line to the throne, how could she dig in the mud, even if she couldn't find the treasure.

"Alright, let's go!" The little dwarf didn't really want to dig in the mud and play, but he still thought that he could follow the passage and see if he could find a way into the interior of the city.

"Wait!" Shi Del stopped, he still remembered the scene when Lin Ze pretended to be stupid just now, as if mocking himself, he pointed at Lin Ze, "You, you go to the front, aren't you very good at exploring traps, so there is no problem, this is your job!" ”

"Okay!" Lin Ze nodded, straightened out his suit, and came to the front of the team, he pulled out the Han sword at his waist, this sword was specially created before this adventure, using an inconspicuous black third-order alloy Night Flame alloy, which also used the beam forging method, and also let Lu Na get a scorching light enchantment on the sword.

The Night Flame Alloy is a common third-order alloy formula in the universe provided by Iriel, which belongs to the hot-melt method of high-pressure alloy, and it also allows Lin Ze to experience the effect of combining soul power and beam forging for the first time, which is definitely much smoother than using the Ring Flame Crystal Furnace.

The biggest advantage of this night flame alloy is that it looks dull, like a very common metal, the camouflage effect is very good, the style of the Han sword is also similar to the appearance of the previous Qi Lin mage's one-handed sword, which can be held with one or both hands, this time playing a warrior, Lin Ze does not need to hold a magic staff, he did not hang a flying axe around his waist, but tied two daggers of night flame alloy on the right side of his thigh, which can be used as throwing weapons if necessary.

Lin Ze had a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, and he carefully walked in front to explore the way, and he was more vigilant about the knights behind him.

The passage of the city wall is relatively narrow, there are collapses in many places, and from time to time you can still see a few doorways blocked by mud and stones, and the group walks slowly, only the sound of heavy panting can be heard.

Suddenly, a little cold light lit up in the darkness ahead, "Be careful! Lin Ze shouted and leaned against the wall next to him, a crossbow arrow flew from his position just now, and hit the stone wall on the other side with a ding, Lin Ze quickly threw his arm, the torch in his left hand flew forward, the moment the fire flashed, Lin Ze clearly saw several shaking figures, "It's a group of lizard people, they're coming!" ”
