Kirito's statement quickly convinced the wanderers and dwarven warriors, but Shirley was a little hesitant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If you don't want to fight mice, let's go back to the empty cage room of Mibo, and we'll go back to investigate. Besco said to her.

"It's just an old mouse. The winged girl clenched her fists to cheer herself up, "Cai, Cai is not afraid." ”

The light of the lantern followed the footsteps, and the ground became more and more dirty and messy, and the dumped oil cans, oil, blood, and ash left ominous marks on the ground, and the paw prints of the moosaur and the footprints of humans were all more visible.

At the edge of the light, three half-hidden wooden doors on the left and right faintly appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Wooden doors that open slightly allow small creatures such as dinosaurs or goblins to pass through.

"I'll check the traces, and you can help me guard both sides. Besco said to Kirito and Todak.

"No problem. "The dwarven warrior is blocking the door on the left, and if a dreaded rat escapes from it, it will eat him with an axe.

Kirito shrugged his shoulders and stood on his right, the interpreter upside down, the tip of his sword pointed diagonally at the ground.

Besco half-crouched on the ground, the lantern in his hand was closer to the ground, and he could quickly see the information he had obtained before, paw prints and the footprints of three or four people, but he felt that there was something incongruous.

The young wanderer pondered.

The light around her dimmed as the lantern was lowered a bit, and Shirley was about to light another one when several grey-skinned rats the size of a hound burst out from through the crack in the door and attacked Besco, who was crouching on the ground.

The corners of their mouths are saliva with countless blight bacteria, and their teeth are as sharp as razor blades, and they can cause great pain to each other as long as they bite someone.

The premise is to bite, or bite through.

Kirito unceremoniously stabbed the dinosaurs that passed through his attack range one by one, and the speed that these guys were proud of was nothing in front of the black swordsman.

Todak took a direct lateral step. The two Dire Rats were thwarted from charging and could only attack Todak first. As mentioned earlier, the Dire Rat could not penetrate the armor of the dwarven warriors, but was instead slashed down by Todak when he seized the opportunity.

"These guys are still quite dangerous. Todak rubbed the blood on his axe against the wall, "It would be very sad if they were unsuspecting, and it would be possible to bite the adventurer if there were more of them." ”

Besco, who was crouching on the ground, did not stop searching because of the more. It's just a rat, and the difficulty is almost impossible for the two most powerful people on the team.

It was Todak's words that made his eyes light up, and he realized where the discord was.

"The direction of the footprint, and the number of ......" With the goal of the search, Besco quickly came to his own conclusions.

Besco stood up and let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" asked Shirley.

"The Heckley siblings' adventure party is four, right?" Besco said.

Shirley blinked suspiciously: "yes, that's what the mission says." ”

"In this direction, there are four people who have passed. Only three came back. Besco spoke in a calm tone that could have been shocking.

“...... You mean, one of them died in front of him?" Shirley covered her mouth to hide her surprise.

"Shall you take a look?" Besco looked at Kirito and Todak.

"It doesn't matter. Kirito said.

"Such a direct clue. Todak said, scratching his beard.

Moving on, the room behind an arch and the trap in the room that had been opened at some point appeared to the adventurers.

There were two large pits cracked in the ground, and Besco's face was very serious when he looked closely at the fracture surface, this set of traps was completely different from the obviously shoddy pit made by goblins or kobolds at the entrance to the ruins, it was the work of the Worship of the Dragons, Besco guessed that if the traps had not been activated. There may not be even a trace visible on the surface, and it is not easy to spot them.

The pit can be filled with sharp steel needles. If you fall and don't have enough protection, you will definitely get hurt.

On the north wall of the room is a fountain that has dried up like a fountain pool that previously spewed out a fire-spewing agent.

"They triggered the trap. "Experienced dwarven warriors have come to this conclusion with just a glance.

"What about corpses?" asked Shirley.

Combined with Besco's judgment, if there is one less person to go back, the dead should have accidentally fallen into a trap and then besieged by rats and died, and the rest had to flee in embarrassment. Even the lantern fell down, and there were some injuries.

It is likely that they will not have room to collect the bodies of their companions.

"Keep looking. Besco rubbed his aching forehead, "Stay safe, keep stealth, I suspect there are enemies in the room or more." ”

The encounter of the previous group of adventurers lifted the hearts of several people. Adventure is adventure after all, and it is impossible without risk.

Carefully stepping over the trap, he found a door sunken into the wall behind the second, one on the west side of the room, with plenty of scratches on the broken wooden door.

Shirley glanced at the dry fountain, intending to wait until the enemies in front of her were eliminated to see if there was anything in the pool.

Rounding the dangerous trap of steel spikes, Besco leaned his ear to the door and listened to the sounds inside.

窸窸窣窣窣窣窣......

This is the sound of rats crawling and sliding on the ground, and from time to time there is the sound of hard objects falling to the ground.

"There were several rats in there, the exact number of which is unknown. Holding the light of the lantern in his hand so as not to be spotted by the creatures inside, Besco said with his lips open, "but there must be a big creature inside." ”

"Big rat?" Shirley replied with lips.

Besco nodded, and then proposed, "Shirley prepares to shoot, and I'll mark that large target as soon as Todak and Kirito break in, and set fire to it in seconds." ”

"The plan works. Kirito agreed.

"Good. "Ready. ”

Besco whispered countdown –

"Three, two, one, go!"

The dwarven warrior kicked open the broken wooden door, and the loud movement immediately attracted the attention of the creatures in the room.

The smell of rotting flesh seemed to be used in this direction as if it had found an outlet, and several adventurers, including Kirito, couldn't help frowning.

Todak rushed in first, followed by Kirito.

The room was dark, and only the lantern in Besco's hand barely illuminated a small part of the area.

Besco recalls the estimated location of the enemy as he listened, and quickly confirmed by dim light that there was a more lying next to the door, and one in the north corner, and two moles clutching at the garbage pile in the center of the room, on which lay a larger, large mouse, the size of a foal, the queen.

The queen lazily lies on her nest, her bloodstained three-fingered claws tugging at the garbage heap boringly, and her life is very comfortable, as long as she waits for her children and grandchildren to bring her prey over and enjoy it. (To be continued.) )
