The herbalist looked up just in time to see Marcos looking at him with piercing black eyes. He looked at himself, but he looked like he was contemplative. But the herbalist understands that he has the right to refuse or accept the other party's request. Ekloso was a terrifying monster, and the herbalist knew very well that he didn't want to lose his life. Sure enough, it was still too difficult for those who escaped from there.

"Forgive me, I don't want to go back there again. The herbalist shook his head apologetically.

"Well, everyone has a choice. In that case, get out of here and head back to Camp Afaria. Marcos said. "We've marked the fork in the road, and that might help you. Also, as I suggested, it was best to travel back to Camp Afaria through the Shallow Realm, as the other caves had many unknown dangers. ”

The herbalist looked at Marcos with embarrassment, who had given him a lot of advice, but in fact, he knew that he was completely lost, otherwise he would not have stumbled upon the four adventurers, and it would have been impossible to take them to the place where Ekloso was. The herbalist didn't leave immediately, so the four people who were about to leave to find Ekloso also stopped and looked at him strangely. "I said, get out of here, there's going to be a corpse creature popping up here at any moment. Marcos warned one last time.

"Well, I don't want to go back to that place, but you helped me. In return, I need to help you. The herbalist couldn't help but stop the four who were already walking with their backs to him, thinking that he couldn't just leave here. Although he didn't help them find Ekloso, he knew at least a little about the recipe and efficacy of the herbs.

He took out a bag of herbs from his coarse cloth package and handed it to Marcos, "I thought I might use it when I left, so I made some herbs in a safe place to mask the smell of my body, which will keep you out of the corpses and spiders." ”

"Thank you. Marcos nodded.

"Good luck to you. ”

If it weren't for the herbalist's words, Marcos thought he might have forgotten this, which was that ghouliers are very sensitive to the taste of herbs. In addition to the fire, this is another thing they fear. When everyone walked to the place where they could no longer see the herbalist, they knew that it would take a certain amount of luck to meet each other again. If the god of luck is still looking after the people in the cave, then there will be a chance to meet again.

In order to find the location of Ekloso, the group explored in the direction of finding the herbalist. As expected, there was a passage to another cavern, covered in moss and bones. In the dirt, you can occasionally see some moldy mushrooms. This was strange to everyone, as mushrooms don't normally grow in caves like this where corpse-eating creatures are everywhere.

Although herbs can mask their smell, this does not mean that everyone can move forward completely carefree. Marcos was more worried about the spiders lurking underground, and he had seen those monsters, so he could guess what kind of guy Ekloso was. Besides, the herbalist had clearly described the beast, and it was obvious that the monster was not easy to deal with.

Soon, the group found the spider eggs hidden in the corners of the passage. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Marcos raised a torch to light the passage, the cat's eye potion that someone else had taken wouldn't have been enough to make them aware of the existence of those spider eggs. "It's better to burn these spider eggs. Marcos said.

"I'll do it. Fett transformed the knife into Prumbelzer, and swung an arc at the spider eggs huddled in the pile. In the burning flames, the spider eggs gradually melted and eventually turned into a mess of mud on the ground. As Marcos moved the torch in the other direction, new spider eggs reappeared in his sight. "Damn. He couldn't help but scold.

"What's wrong?" Karl asked.

"How can there be so many spider eggs here?"

"It's possible that their nest is nearby. Carl guessed.

"Agreed, I don't know what's on the other side of the passage, but let's go on. At the same time, we can also clean up the spider eggs in the passage, so that new spiders do not hatch and attack the humans who come here. Marcos nodded in agreement.

"That's all we can do, and I hope the herbs that the herbalist gave us will be useful. Karl moved the pouch of herbs hanging from his belt.

The humid air, the gloomy atmosphere, and the strange spider eggs that can be found everywhere make everyone who walks through the passage feel extremely depressed. And now, there is an unknown enemy waiting for them. If this feeling lasts for a long time, it will cause confidence to be shaken, and while trying not to think about these questions, everyone is also thinking about how to find a topic.

It's not a good thing to have too many things to think about, and that means you need to spend a lot of time on issues that give you headaches. The clueless antidote to infectious diseases, the evil dragon Spitz in the Dark Elf Graveyard and the negotiations of the Duchy also the Dark Elf Senate, Morgan's diary. When all the problems were concentrated in one place, they found that this place was simply the worst place they had ever been to in their lives. Even on the West Coast, when facing the Apostle Lotus on the Heavenly Veil, the people were not as depressed as they are now.

In fact, an idea had been in Marcos's mind for a long time, but he never said it for reasons that he wasn't sure would have an effect. But now, he decided to at least tell his companion about the idea, and he spoke suddenly. "Have you ever wondered if we could find a way to make an antidote to an infectious disease if we collected the bones of the dark elves who had become corpse-eating creatures and handed them over to someone who was proficient in alchemy?"

"Why do you think that?" asked Camille rhetorically.

"I'm just wondering if people who know alchemy and doctors can work together to find a way to make an antidote to an infectious disease from these bones. However, it is likely that this is just wishful thinking on my part, after all, I don't know anything about medicine or alchemy. Marcos sighed, and it could be seen that he didn't have much confidence in his idea.

"Let's try, when we encounter those corpse-eating creatures again. Fett spoke at this point, not to comfort Marcos, but simply to think that this solution might be a try. It is clear that people who have died from infectious diseases will not be present in the Afalia camp, and naturally will not be found anywhere else. So if we can collect some virus samples from the Neupera region, it may be helpful to make an antidote to the epidemic.

Although Marcos didn't know what Fett was thinking, he was glad that Fett was able to say so. However, a new question has arisen, that is, how to successfully bring back those bones or lifeforms. You must know that if you are not careful, everyone is very likely to be infected, and it is obviously impossible to bring those things back with just one pair of hands without professional alchemy storage equipment.

"But how do we get the virus sample back?" said Carl, who was the first to ask the question.

"Don't worry, I have a solution. Marcos gave Carl a confident smile, and the latter looked at him in surprise, not just because he declared he had a solution. Another reason was that it had been a while since he had seen such a confident smile on Marcos's face, without any hint of negativity.
