Zhang Yi and another mercenary named Corion explored the main building up and down respectively, because of the crow just now, Zhang Yi could only be responsible for the upper two floors, and Corian was responsible for exploring the first floor and the basement.

Seeing Zhang Yi disappear into the stairs on the second floor, Corian also ventured into the room under the stairs.

The dimly lit room is not a single room, but leads to the rest of the main building.

On the other side of the staircase, there was a staircase deep into the ground, which should lead to the basement of the ruins, and Corion glanced below, the darkness made his legs a little weak, and he hurriedly walked to the rest of the room.

After a while, Zhang Yi had already explored the two floors upstairs, and there was no danger or any trace of monsters inhabiting here, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and went downstairs, just in time to meet Cryan at the staircase.

Corion's arms were bulging, and he didn't know what was hidden, and the young man had a shy and shy smile on his face, but one hand was tightly guarding, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yi would snatch his gains.

Zhang Yi understands Corion's behavior very well, although the mercenary profession is said to have a higher income than ordinary civilians, but it is all in exchange for his life. Sometimes business is sluggish, and they don't have the last meal, so most mercenaries will have the trait of greed, even if they are clean, they have to bow their heads in the face of the difficult life.

Therefore, Zhang Yi pretended not to see it, turned his head to look at the bottom of the stairs, and asked, "Have you seen it all once?" Did you go to the basement? ”

"Look, see, there's no danger." Crane glanced at the dark basement staircase and said with an unnatural expression.

Zhang Yi didn't notice the unnaturalness on his face, just nodded, and Crien secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

The two of them returned to the hall, and now Susan and Delaney had cleaned up a clean area in the corner.

The other two mercenaries had returned, bringing back a large bundle of dry branches, and a silver bottle from the dusty utensils on the stone table in the hall, which had been washed and filled with a full bottle of water.

Without Zhang Yi's instructions, the mercenaries skillfully made a shelf out of tree branches, hung the silver bottle on it, and then used the fire fold they carried with them to ignite the pile of wood under the shelf and boil the water in the bottle.

By this time, the sky had also darkened, and the orange-red afterglow of the sunset outside had disappeared, and darkness appeared from the dense forest, enveloping the whole world step by step. It didn't take long for the courtyard outside the hall to be pitch black, and even the cistern in the middle couldn't be seen clearly.

The glow of the flames would attract the attention of the monsters, so they had to close the rotten door of the hall and rest in the hall.

Dinner was still the wild fruits picked along the way, and at this time they did not have the spare time and energy to hunt small animals, so they could only settle for a while.

The hall was quiet for a while, except for the crackling of the flames, and no one was in the mood to gossip under the exhaustion.

However, the mercenaries did not rest for the first time, their eyes fell on Corion's bulging arms from time to time, and then they kept looking at the pile of silver utensils on the stone table.

It's no wonder they have such a watch, these things are antiques, any one of them can be sold for a sky-high price in the trading market of the Gaston Kingdom, as long as they bring these things back, then they don't need to continue to live as mercenaries, everyone will become a young rich man.

The fact that adventurers get rich overnight is never a fantasy.

It's just that because of Susan's prestige, the mercenaries didn't dare to take matters into their own hands, but their blazing eyes had already expressed what they thought.

Susan suddenly sighed and whispered, "Take it if you want, it's all yours."

Her voice was low, but it was clear in the quiet hall, and several mercenaries glanced at each other and cheered in unison, as if even the exhaustion in her body had disappeared at this moment.

They hurried to the stone table, took down the silver utensils on it, and wiped the dust off it with their sleeves, even Crien.

"These bastards." Seeing this, Delaney scolded in a low voice, they are still on the run, and their companion has just died, and now they are still in the mood to see the money.

"Forget the Delaney, they're not wrong." Susan waved her hand tiredly, this is human nature, and she has no reason to stop it.

However, to the surprise of the two girls, the mysterious Alvin was also blind to these expensive antiques, and instead kept his head down by the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mr. Elwin, what's wrong?" Delaney couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Yi was awakened from his contemplation, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "It's nothing." ”

Frowning, he glanced at a few mercenaries, who had already cleared out all the silver utensils on the stone table, arguing about the ownership of these things, and there were faint signs of quarrelling.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but clap his hands, attracting their attention.

"You can take it, but it's better to think about how to take it, if you fall behind because you take too many things, I won't stop and wait for him."

The three mercenaries were stunned, as if they didn't expect Zhang Yi to say this, and one of them said cautiously: "Mr. Erwin, these are all antiques......"

"I know." Zhang Yi interrupted him, "But if you have a life, you have to have a life, do you think you can take these things and hurry down?" If you can, although you have no problem with me at all, but it is still the sentence just now, whoever falls behind because of this, I will definitely not stop and wait for him. ”

The mercenaries all hesitated, they knew that Zhang Yi was right, in such a dangerous environment, rushing with such things was no different from looking for death, but if they gave up like this, they were unwilling, not to mention that tomorrow was only a day's journey......

Zhang Yi glanced at them, he knew very well what the three young people were thinking, but he didn't want to give them too much time to think, but continued: "Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow, now decide the order of the vigil first, there are six of us, each of us will keep watch for two quarters, just until tomorrow morning." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi glanced at everyone, and seeing that they did not object, he said, "Who will be the first to keep vigil first?" If no one wants to, then I'll do it first. ”

"Wait."

Susan immediately objected, "Mr. Elwin, you still need enough spirit to lead the way tomorrow, just let us come to the vigil." ”

"It's okay, ten minutes of sleep is enough." Zhang Yi shook his head and said, he didn't want to give these people a feeling of unfairness, which might make them dissatisfied, if it was in normal times, it didn't matter, but now in this special situation, it is very important.

Seeing Zhang Yi's insistence, Susan did not continue to persuade him.

In the end, a few branches of different lengths were broken and decided by lottery in the simplest way.

The first vigil was Draenei, who seemed a little upset, and the second was Corion.

The third was a man named Bert, the fourth was Zhang Yi, then Susan, and finally a young man named Harry.

After deciding the order of the vigil, everyone found a place to lie down and rest.

Although the three mercenaries were still thinking about antiques, fatigue soon put them to sleep, and Zhang Yi and Susan also fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes, and only Delaney stood by the fire alone.

Miss Reverend, with exhaustion and a little fear in her heart, did not dare to look at the second floor above the staircase and the dark room below, but pouted and poked the fire with a small branch.

Suddenly there was a loud bang outside, followed by a torrential downpour.

Startled by the thunder, Delaney ran to Susan's side, hugged her tightly, and buried her head in her brown head.

After two quarters of patience, Delaney woke up the sleeping Corion with punches and kicks as if he had been liberated.

When Corion woke up, he rubbed his eyes and leaned against the wall and half-sat up, he still remembered the vigil, and he didn't doze off when he couldn't afford to sleep, and when it was finally two quarters over, a strong urge to urinate made him sober up a little.

It was raining heavily, and Crane looked at Susan and Delaney, who were sleeping together, and the shyness of the young man made him get up and walk to the room under the stairs.

He wasn't too scared at this point, and when he untied his belt, a pale yellow urine fell down the stairs leading to the basement on one side of the room.

A stone at the edge of the staircase was hit by Crane's urine column, and it fell into the darkness.

The stone fell into the basement with a clatter, and there was a sound of it smashing against some iron utensils.

The sound came far down the stairs, and Cryan should have heard it clearly, but at this moment it happened to be a loud thunderclap that muffled the faint sound coming from the basement.

Crane shook his friend, then tied his belt back into the hall and woke Bert up.

"I'll leave it to you, don't sleep."

Crane slapped Bert's face vigorously and saw that he opened his confused eyes and slowly sat up from the ground. Crion then turned back to his place and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

Bert half-sat on the ground, his blank gaze swept across the hall, he remembered the vigil, and his consciousness gradually cleared, but the rumbling sound of rain outside knocked his hard-to-wake consciousness away.

"It's raining, so it shouldn't be dangerous."

He muttered and fell to the ground again, soon snoring slightly.

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the dark basement, and directly under the spiral staircase, the collapsed pile of masonry was violently pushed away, and a tall human figure emerged from the darkness.
