"Commander......" shouted a thin black mercenary holding up a thick log.

"What's the matter?" Johnny asked, looking back.

"I have a vase made of porcelain, which I bought for my wife. The mercenary whispered, "It would have cost him two gold coins, if it weren't for his wife......

"Take it. "Johnny is overjoyed, if it weren't for Feleg and the two tonight, I'm afraid that the Tempest Mercenary Group would be wiped out, and I don't know how to thank the two of them like this, it would be a little interesting to be able to do something for them.

After a while, the mercenary took a porcelain vase, which was not large and had colorful flowers on the outside. Feleg was accustomed to seeing high-end goods at home and in the imperial palace, and at a glance he knew that this thing was not worth a few dollars.

He took out a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into the mercenary's hand, and the mercenary happily continued to smash the worms. Johnny looked apologetic, but he knew that magicians would not be short of such a small amount of money, so he didn't say anything.

This porcelain bottle is not too big, but it is much more than Maya's bottle of incense powder, and Feleg filled it with dozens of insects in one go before he was satisfied. Look at the mouth of the bottle, not very relieved, and put a little oil on the mouth of the bottle, and finally find a cork to plug tightly, and look at it from time to time, for fear that the insects inside will run out of the cork.

After looking at it for a while, I put my mind at ease, the insects didn't seem to be able to crawl on the porcelain wall, and although the vase was not big, it was more than half a foot high, so it should be very safe.

"How long are we going to stay?" Johnny asked worriedly, and although the insects couldn't crawl now, the crowd couldn't get out. This is a famous ghost realm, and almost no one will come except for adventurers who pan for gold.

"Don't worry, they'll naturally disperse at dawn. Feleg said confidently, Maya had already told the rumors in detail, and had never heard of a dead person during the day.

Feleg was right, when the morning star rose, the bugs began to retreat, but the bugs in the ditch couldn't climb back for a while, and scurried at the bottom of the ditch.

The sun wheel slowly rose, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, under the light of the sun wheel, the insects moved more and more slowly, and finally did not move, and the bottom of the ditch seemed to be full of black pebbles.

Johnny divided ten men and remained at the edge of the ditch, and the others began to raise the fire and cook, and they were tired in the middle of the night, and everyone was hungry.

After breakfast, Feleg, Maya, and Johnny went to the ditch and used a branch to stir up the bugs at the bottom of the ditch, only to find that the bugs had really turned into small stones. If you don't distinguish them carefully, you can't recognize them at all, these stones are relatively regular in shape and slightly darker in color, if you don't watch them change a little bit, it's hard to believe that these stones turned out to be bugs.

"Afraid of the sun, it can't destroy porcelain, it can paralyze living things, and it has a strong corrosive nature. Feleg whispered, synthesizing the characteristics of the black bug.

"Very corrosive. Maya emphasized, and at the same time held out her dagger to show Feleg. The two holes in the dagger were still the same, and after the middle of the night, there was no sign of recovery. Johnny naturally can't understand it, if the short sword is broken, it's broken, what is there to see?

"Amazing, it's the first time I've seen something that can damage the ink sword. Feleg nodded, it seemed that the dagger had basically forgotten.

"Why are they attacking us?" said Maya, puzzled, the first night, but everything was fine, everyone lived in the same place, but the bugs did not attack everyone.

"Perhaps...... Maybe they're studying us?" Johnny whispered, if he wanted to attack the enemy, he naturally had to find out the enemy's strength, barracks and other information, but he said this according to human thinking, do insects also have such wisdom?

Feleg scanned all the information in his mind, and said in his heart: "Let people collect the stones that the worms have turned into under the ditch, the more the better." ”

Johnny gave the order with some embarrassment, and several mercenaries, trembling, went down to the bottom of the ditch, using simple tools, carefully collecting the small black stones at the bottom of the ditch. Fortunately, it is very safe, and after the insect turns into stone, it behaves completely like a stone, and there is nothing unusual.

The mercenaries who collected the black stones also became bolder, and began to pick them up by hand, and the speed was faster, and after a while, the black stones were collected, there were tens of thousands, and there was a small pile on the ground.

Johnny glanced at Feleg, not knowing what he wanted this thing for, Feleg smiled and said, "You have the tools to refine pure gold, right, use these stones to refine it." Feleg was not sure of his judgment, so he had to try.

"Good. Johnny's eyes lit up, as if he was aware of something.

The tools are all ready-made, and the mercenaries who operate the tools are also very skilled, as if they had been trained for a period of time before coming here, and after a while, the black stone was dissolved, and the smoke that rose with a foul sour smell, Maya raised her eyebrows, and looked at Feleg.

An hour later, the piles of black stones had been completely refined, and a hint of red yellow reflected people's eyelids: "It's pure gold, but it's too little." The mercenary who operated the tool picked out that little bit of pure gold from the refining solution and said

"I see. Feleg whispered, Maya nodded, and Johnny thoughtfully. The reason why the bugs attack people seems to have been found.

It is no wonder that although the life of the former villagers of Qilihe Village was difficult, no one died accidentally, and all the deaths began after five years of operation in the pure gold mine. As for whether these bugs are alien or a new species that has been created here, no one can say.

Feleg is not a biologist and does not want to delve into this matter, there is no need at all, it is just necessary to know the truth about the mysterious killer of the Seven Mile River.

"They eat Adamantite, so there's less and less Adamantite here. Maya said that in the past, the Qilihe Essence Gold Mine was very famous.

"So they attacked us because we got the pure gold and robbed them of their food. Johnny whispered too. This time, it was really not in vain, with the presence of the Feleg magician, he actually found out the mysterious killer and revealed the secret of the Seven Mile River.

As long as this matter is reported, the Mayan Empire will give a rich reward, and this reward will not be less than his own desperate gold mining, but this matter was discovered by the Feleg magician. He may not care about the reward, but the woman is different, she is also Mayan. It's just that she...... It doesn't seem to be easy.

"Captain Johnny, this is a great achievement. Feleg didn't think about it that much, but Maya knew what Captain Johnny was thinking.

"This ...... This is entirely the credit of Magician Feleg and Miss Maya, if you weren't here, let alone discovering the secret, our entire mercenary group would be silently slaughtered by insects. Johnny immediately said that the two could not be offended.

"Don't worry, the credit is yours, we're not interested in any of that. Maya said calmly, she needed to know her father's killer, and as for the credit, how could she care about it. Now Maya was wondering how to get rid of these bugs.

She has hardly lived in the Mayan Empire, and she can't talk about patriotism, Maya just wants to avenge her father's murder to comfort her father's soul in heaven.

"Is there a way to kill them all?" asked Maya, touching Feleg, who was still in deep thought.

"I don't know, I'm thinking, tonight, there are still some things to do, and if my guess is correct, it should be impossible to kill them all. Feleg said.

"Oh, what's the matter? They should be back tonight. Maya asked, don't you already fully understand the matter of the black bug? This kind of bug has really never heard of it before, and I don't know if the scholars of the empire know about it.

"I can't say right now. Feleg said, turned around, looked at Johnny and said: "Captain Johnny, rest for half a day for a while, let your people in the afternoon, continue to deepen and widen the trench, not too wide, as long as about one meter, it needs to be one meter and five, and it doesn't need to be too deep, we are not dealing with horse thieves." In addition, you need to cut down more trees to come back. ”

Johnny nodded and agreed, even if Feleg didn't ask for it, he would send someone to do it, and tonight, the bugs would probably attack again. With Feleg here, he didn't want to go down the mountain to escape for his life for the time being.

Knowing the existence of insects, if there was no Feleg here to support him, I am afraid that he would have escaped down the mountain with the mercenaries, this thing is really terrible, overwhelming, no matter how you kill it, you can't kill it all.

"Before digging a ditch, there is a very important thing to do, send someone to carefully inspect the bottom of the ditch, find out all the remaining black stones, it is best not to keep one, leave me twenty black stones, and the rest you can refine gold, but after refining the stones, you must store them carefully, it is best to leave them to me. Feleg said solemnly.

"Okay. Johnny didn't know what Feleg wanted these stones for, but he specified the quantity, it shouldn't be that he wanted to refine the pure gold inside, even the refined waste stones, what is the reason?

Feleg had twenty small black stones piled up in front of him, and he had a headache about what to do with them, and if his guess was correct, it was obviously not safe to keep them in this way, but it was indeed not easy to put them in a porcelain vase.

After thinking about it for a long time, he dug a deep pit with a small belly on the ground, more than half a meter deep, and the mouth of the pit was only the size of a palm, and then threw a few fireballs into the pit, and kept burning with high-temperature flames, until half an hour later, Feleg stopped satisfied.

Due to the high temperature, the pit has begun to crystallize, although it cannot be compared with porcelain, it is already good. After smearing the mouth of the pit with oil, Feleg didn't know if the oil would work, but it was better than nothing.

Finally, the twenty black stones were carefully placed into the pit, and finally around the pit, a small trench was set up, and four torches were inserted at the mouth of the pit for use at night.
