Chapter 31: The Cave Worm Castle

After just waiting for a while, the hot gold coin package was brought to the front of the [Iron Fist] adventure team.

Indeed, as everyone has argued, I don't know what secret spice is used, but the leg of the ferocious ox, hard enough to break the jackal's teeth, becomes soft and juicy, and with a slight stroke of a knife, it is divided into small pieces that melt in the mouth.

Coupled with the soft and fresh aroma of deep-sea fish, the refreshing and ethereal evening primrose salad, and finally washing the aftertaste with a sip of moonlight wine, it is indeed a delicacy that the [Iron Fist] adventure team has never tasted!

"Oh!

"I've never eaten anything so delicious, and I can eat one!"

"Huh!"

"Ike, you've just eaten the food of the Sixty Denier Tower, enough for two pieces of leather armor on your body, or a dagger. ”

Or...... Buy enough food for the tribe for thirty people for a month......"

Sam Ray burp served five gold coin meals, and Ike Froude ate two of them alone, and at the moment he was holding his stomach and burping, and he was immediately despised by Fiona, while Gondok, who had been very silent, also came to the rescue.

And the last gold coin package is slowly chewing in Green's mouth, helping Green to think at the same time.

Although the ferocious bull used in the Gold Coin Package is strong and savage, the challenge level is only five, and a well-coordinated team of low-level adventurers can be hunted for a small price, so the actual value is not as high as the list price.

Of course, in the eyes of the merchants and guards in the inn at this moment, this is already an extremely powerful beast.

As for why the price tag is so high, it's because the food is actually a ticket, a ticket to a place led by innkeeper Sam Rayhic.

However, there are only four people in the [Iron Fist] adventure team, so why do you need five tickets?

That's because the ticket to enter the place is not for people, in fact, only one ticket is needed for all members of the [Tekken] team to enter there, and the extra four tickets mean that Sam Wren needs to lead the [Tekken] team to visit the four additional shops to procure the items that Green needs.

............

"Squeak!"

What a damn authentic!

Curled up, Ron crawled through the long, crooked tunnels with a small crossbow on his back.

It's been an hour since the entrance to the grain storehouse's cavern, but the long tunnel seems to have no end, and although there are a few branches intermittently, they are small enough for Ron to climb into.

Ron, on the other hand, saw the same scratches on these tiny branches, which showed that the bodies of the insects digging these tunnels were not large, at least not as big as Ron's, because the largest of those slender branches was only the size of Ron's head.

However, the strange thing is that Ron crawled in the tunnel for so long, but he didn't see a single tunnel builder, and if it weren't for the fact that he could see some food falling during the transportation along the tunnel from time to time, Ron wouldn't be sure if the tunnel was still in normal use.

"Squeak!"

Finally a little more spacious!

After a short distance, the tunnel finally grew taller again, which made Ron feel a little better, at least he could stand upright and hold his crossbow on his front paws, giving him more protection in the event of an enemy.

So, with a crossbow in hand and a small cloth bag on his back carrying a day's rations, Ron cautiously walked forward.

The tunnels grew wider and wider, gradually expanding from the height of one Ron to the height of two Rhons, three Rons, and even dozens of Rons.

Then, a glimmer of light began to flicker in front of Ron's eyes, and the sound of water dripping could be heard.

"Click, click!"

Eventually, when Ron's footsteps were completely out of the cave, a cave that appeared to be quite wide even compared to a human appeared in front of Ron.

It is a vast karst cave with a width of tens of meters and an unknown length, with stalagmites and stalactites unique to the cave environment, and shimmering underground luminescent fungi cling to the stalagmites and stalactites, relying on condensed and low water sources to survive and emit a faint light.

In the light of this glimmer of light, Ron saw that in a corner of the cave, hundreds of pale beetles the size of human thumbs were crawling a shimmering fungus, while constantly burying small round particles to the bottom of the glowing mushroom, and then collecting small round balls similar to his own from the glowing mushroom.

"Squeak!"

Those are the grains! The stolen grain of the moonshine rat swarm!

In the dim light, the dark vision of the moonlight rat naturally converged, and the dim vision naturally took effect, so Ron immediately discovered that it was the rice stolen by the moonlight rat colony that was buried by the white beetle at the bottom of the glowing fungus.

Obviously, just like the leafcutter ants, these beetles have the ability to grow, and instead of eating the food stolen from the warehouses of the moonshine rat colony, they use it to grow luminescent fungi to produce the fungus food they need.

However, since it is the same as the leaf-cutting ants, then this group of beetles will naturally have a real ruler, a mother who gives birth to them, and only by killing this mother, then no more beetles will be born in the future!

So, based on this idea, Ron hid in the shadows the first time he discovered the white beetle, and the Moonlight Rat's own hiding and stealth skills immediately took effect, minimizing Ron's sense of presence, allowing him to get close to the beetle little by little without being detected.

And as the distance approached, behind the shimmering fungus field where the beetles labored, a magnificent building slowly emerged in the shimmering light.

It was a huge fortress nearly five meters high, conical in shape, and the entire body was made of stalactite fragments and an unknown substance bonded together. In this castle, there are several circular holes, and from time to time white beetles crawl into the holes carrying white spherical fungi, and when they reappear, the jaws are bound to be blessed with a few grains of rice.

"Squeak!"

Apparently that's their nest!

Little by little, taking in everything in his eyes, Ron thought quietly.

He was a little unsure whether to enter the enemy's insect fortress alone or go back and bring the army of moonlight rats to level here directly, after all, it takes a lot of time to lead the army, and it is too dangerous to enter alone.

"Squeak!"

Go back first!

Bring an army of Moonlight Rats to level this place!

In the end, Ron made up his mind, after all, the passage into the Worm Castle was not spacious, and Ron did not know if there would be such a structure inside, whether it was suitable for his own battle.

However, as Ron twisted his body and was about to retreat into the tunnel, a loud sound of double jaw crashing suddenly came from the conical Worm Castle, and then a pair of huge chelicerae protruded from the passage of the Worm Castle!
