"Whew! Whew! ”

Kevin was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, and the cigarette he had been holding was already burning most of it.

This magic item has a certain addictive nature, in addition to being able to burn for a long time and have a more mellow taste, it can also reduce the various negative states of the user to a certain extent.

Tiredness, pain... Of course, the reduction will not be very large, after all, under normal circumstances, the effect of magic props is linked to the price, and with Kevin's capital, of course, it is impossible to smoke any high-end magic cigarettes.

Because the escape is too exciting, the cigarette burns so fast.

"Gone, gone?"

Lauren leaned against the wall, listening to the rolling thunder gradually fade away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly slid down against the wall.

"Finally gone, we're safe for the time being......"

When the rest of the people heard this, the tense string in their hearts slowly relaxed.

Kevin gasped for a moment, then suddenly punched and kicked a brother and scolded angrily, "What are you saying bad? Say what is not good! You crow's mouth! Lao Tzu's magic props are all gone! ”

The brother didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten, and said very aggrievedly: "Boss... I'm just saying it casually, all this must be a coincidence, I can't say that there is a ...... now."

"Shut up!"

Everyone glared at this brother angrily, and those who got closer even pounced directly on this brother and covered this guy's mouth tightly.

"Don't talk anymore!"

On the ceiling, the shadow clone who was just about to act smacked his lips unsatisfactorily.

Kevin calmed down and snorted: "That's it, today's dungeon is full of weirdness, and the magic props and alchemy potions we carried this time have been almost consumed, although there have been no casualties yet, but it's not good to say next... Go back first! ”

Lauren was a little unwilling: "We have all come to the third layer......"

Kevin glared at him, "You still can't understand the current situation? Lauren Kate, you're alone, you can be crazy, but if you want to play with my brothers' lives, I'm going to kill you right now!

What bullshit elves, so far it's just your words, and I now suspect you're plotting against us! ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The shadow clone also realizes that he seems to have gone too far, and fixes the camera to the ceiling and continues to shoot, while the shadow clone crawls on the ceiling like a spider.

The way to crawl is also very simple, stick your fingers into the stone wall to hold your body in place and move.

Because it is a shadow, theoretically it has no weight, so it can be silent.

Even if his fingers pierce the wall, because he is Ji Ruo's shadow clone, he has a solid foundation in martial arts, and his use of strength is perfect, and he will not produce any movement.

The shadow clone left the place.

Lauren's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes suddenly became dangerous, and he said coldly: "It's really my fault, I'm sorry Kevin, I will try my best to make up for your losses, please don't ...... like this"

Squinting his eyes is to hide the panic in his eyes - if there is a conflict at this time, then Kevin and they can crush themselves by numbers alone, Lauren knows very well.

This is the third floor of the dungeon, and even if he dies here, no one will pursue Kevin and them.

In the dungeon, anything can happen, and occasionally a teammate dies or something, which is commonplace.

So Lauren confessed.

And yet, at this very moment-

A small crystal clear bat flew slowly in front of the two of them, its body like a crystal frame, flashing with a beautiful shimmer.

"Ice Crystal Bat?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Isn't the purpose of their trip to find the colony of ice crystal bats and wait for Emily and them to come?

This is, to the place?

Stunned, a few more ice crystal bats fluttered their wings and flew out of the corner slowly.

This ice crystal bat is a special kind of monster, its whole body is composed of ice crystals, crystal clear and at the same time has a strange chill.

Even the organs in the body can be seen clearly.

The Ice Crystal Bat is not a flesh and blood structure, nor is it aggressive, and is one of the few monsters that can be used directly.

Its main function is to give those noble lords one of the materials used to make wine......

Kevin and Lauren were stunned to watch the ice crystal bat fly slowly in front of them, and a little brother cautiously came to the corner and stretched out his head to look around, and said with some excitement: "Boss! There are so many ice crystal bats! There are also treasure chests, to say the least, seven or eight! ”

"So many treasure chests?" Kevin's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated: "It won't be empty again, right?" ”

"Not this time, those chests are all open, and there are a lot of things in them! Glittering, it's a baby at first glance! ”

Kevin heard this and glanced at Lauren.

Lauren sneered: "Let's get to the place, the ice crystal bat is not aggressive, it is absolutely safe here, we can ambush ...... first"

Kevin was silent.

Lauren: "It's all here......"

These four words seem to have some kind of magic.

"Let's take a look at the contents of the treasure chest first!"

On the ceiling, the shadow clone who retrieved the camera quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued shooting.

......

"Ji Ruo, to be honest, do these things have anything to do with you?"

Sheila's face was full of suspicion: "You specifically asked us what we wanted, and the corner opened from the treasure chest... Obviously, I couldn't even see the treasure chest before. ”

Ji Ruo reasoned with the facts: "You can't talk nonsense, I've always been with you and never left, how can these things have anything to do with me?" It must have been the god of the stove who heard our prayers and specially prepared gifts for us to praise the god of the stove! ”

Emily wondered, "What kind of god is the god of the hearth?" ”

"The god of the hearth is the great god I believe in." Ji Ruo said seriously: "He loves the people like a son, is in charge of all the incense, and knows all the cooking skills......"

"Is there such a god?" Sheila wondered, "And, are you sure you're not talking about the god of cooking?" ”

"It's not." Ji Ruo said: "Cooking is only one of the functions of the Stove God, he is the best god I have ever met, always answering the prayers of the believers and bless the believers in the dark......"

......

In the Star Swirl Cave, Ji Ruo's followers were still watching the 'Sky Canopy Movie', and when they saw this scene, they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"That's how the gods preach! Learned, learned, learned! ”

Old Lauder wiped his tears and said, "It's all to blame for our early death, Lord Stove God is too hard, and he has to preach in person, alas, ......"

......

Sheila listened to Ji Ruo's description, and her expression became more and more strange.

She glanced at the two magic scrolls in her hand, and suddenly said: "It seems that it is just a coincidence, if these two scrolls are really necromantic magic scrolls, I won't believe what you say, now... It is estimated that it is really the god of the stove who protects us in the dark, which is interesting. ”

"Not necromancy? So what are these two scrolls? ”

Ji Ruo asked curiously.

Ji Ruo was not surprised at all that he failed to fulfill Sheila's expectations.

Because he was illiterate......

To be precise, I don't know the writing of the Mother Earth continent.

[Lingua Franca] can only allow Ji Ruo to listen and speak, but not to read and write.

It is equivalent to an illiterate person who can communicate without barriers.

The words on the magic scroll, if you can't understand it, you just pick it casually.

"These are two spatial scrolls...... Sheila flipped through the scrolls, showing her professionalism as a necromancer a little: "This scroll can open a small teleportation array, but the scope is limited to the dungeon, which means that after we explore, we can quickly return to the upper level with these two scrolls, and the next time we want to come back, we can also go down through the scrolls... Ji Ruo, I'll give you a copy. ”

Sheila said: "There are three rewards in this treasure chest, the magic bow and arrow are more suitable for Emily, and these two space scrolls, we have two points." ”

Emily pulls the magic bow, and the elemental power automatically gathers and turns into an arrow of light.

Everyone has something to gain.

"This space scroll should be a fixed reward, right?" Ji Ruo suddenly said: "After all, the exploration difficulty of the ninth layer is not low, and unless we adventurers have space equipment on our bodies, we will carry limited supplies each time, so we can't go down every time we go down, and we have to go through the first eight layers, right?" When will it take to explore the ninth floor? ”

Sheila pondered for a moment: "I think what you said makes sense, for example, this time, we only planned to go to the third floor at the beginning, and if nothing else, it would only take half a day to go back and forth, so we didn't carry much supplies......

Emily suddenly said, "Ji Ruo, can you ask the Stove God to prepare some food for us?" That way we can explore a little longer!

After all, didn't you say that the god of the hearth would answer the prayers of his devotees at all times? ”

"Huh?"

Rao is Ji Ruo was also choked by Emily's out-of-the-box way of thinking, but he still pretended to be thinking seriously and said, "It seems feasible, I can try ......"

As he spoke, Ji Ruo's hand behind him groped for something in the four-dimensional pocket.

He had to make sure that he had any food in his four-dimensional pocket that would fit in the chest.

"Haha."

Sheila couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Emily, you really think, although it is possible, this kind of prayer is absolutely impossible." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's a god." Sheila looked at Emily seriously and said, "It is impossible for a god to respond to his followers all the time, even the highest level of faith... In the final analysis, whether it is a human or an elf, to the gods, they are just dispensable ants, the dust of time.

Perhaps the gods occasionally answer a believer's prayer out of boredom, but never all the time.

At the end of the day, we're just a bunch of dispensable creatures to the gods, and we're no different from monsters in the eyes of the gods other than offering faith.

In the eyes of the gods, all beings are equal and equally humble. ”

Emily retorted, "Nonsense, the goddess of life I believe in is not like this!" The goddess of life is good! ”

"Oh?" Sheila gave Emily a deep look, "Perhaps." ”

Ji Ruo didn't know when he took out three sticks of incense and began to pray with a face full of piety.

Emily was curious: "Ji Ruo, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm praying to the god of the hearth." Ji Ruo said, casually inserted three incense sticks into the gap in the wall in front of him, and said, "Let's go, the god of the stove should have heard my prayer, let's hurry up and find the next treasure chest." ”

Sheila wondered, "You prayed?" Didn't you even speak? ”

Ji Ruo was surprised: "If you don't speak, it's not a prayer?" As a god, isn't listening to the hearts of believers a basic operation? ”

"Yes, yes, but it's common sense, and it's like this for believers in other gods... And your prayer is too fast, can the god of the stove really hear your prayer? ”

Ji Ruo waved his hand: "That's other gods, our Stove God doesn't pay attention to these, after establishing a faith relationship, just give incense when praying, don't engage in those vain things." ”

Sheila was shocked: "Are you really a devout believer?!" ”

Ji Ruo said casually: "Of course, in terms of belief in the Stove God alone, there is no one in this world who is more determined than me." It doesn't matter what the form is, the faith, the important thing is sincerity, there is a way, sincerity is the spirit, and the rest doesn't matter.

Believers who bathe, change their clothes, and fast for three days before each prayer do not necessarily have a deeper faith.

So much preparation every time...... Is faith such an inconvenient thing? The meaning is just a matter of meaning, faith and prayer are like this, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky. ”

Sheila was silent.

A moment later, with the joint efforts of Ji Ruo, the three of them killed the five Sinking Demons, because the appearance of the Sinking Demons was too ugly, so even if there were no obvious fatal injuries on the outside, Sheila refused to wake up these Sinking Demons.

Still, Sheila used a spell to pull away the bones of the Fallen Demon - there was no flesh and blood, and it looked much more comfortable.

"Open the treasure chest, open the treasure chest!"

Emily excitedly opened the treasure chest, which contained a total of five items.

Two are the space scrolls that I got earlier, and the other three are... Cake?

Sheila looked at Ji Ruo in shock.

Ji Ruo pretended to be surprised: "It turned out to be a peony cake!" Praise be to the god of the hearth! ”

"What is a peony cake?" Emily sniffed curiously: "It smells like flowers, it's so fragrant." ”

"This is a dessert in my hometown, and one of the main ingredients is peony flowers, which can taste the taste of peony flowers and is convenient for long-term preservation."

Ji Ruo picked up a piece of peony cake, took a bite, and showed a happy expression: "Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste!" ”

"I'll taste it, I'll taste it!" Emily couldn't wait to eat a piece too: "Hmm~ It's so fragrant and sweet, it's delicious!" ”

Sheila muttered, "Actually, it really came out......"

"It's normal to find anything in a treasure chest, it's common sense."

“......”

Emily ate a mouth full of sugar crumbs, suddenly grabbed Ji Ruo, and said excitedly: "Ji Ruo Ji Ruo, can I also believe in the Stove God, my main belief is the goddess of life, will the Stove God mind?" ”

"Of course not." Ji Ruo grinned: "The god of the stove never rejects believers, as long as he gives him incense." ”

"Let me believe it too!"

Sheila hesitated for a moment: "Then I ...... too"

In a corner not far behind the three of them, a god muttered with a shocked face, "How is it possible? I didn't put anything in the chest... What kind of god is the god of the hearth? Could it be that He is also in Rahappa? Or is He really that powerful? ”

Seeing that the three of them were about to start the 'ceremony', the alien gold mine god gritted his teeth: "Damn, Rahappa is my territory, this god has been in business for so many years, and it is finally time to have a priest... Stove God, although I don't know you, but, you crossed the line!

Trying to rob my believers in my house... No way! ”

As he spoke, the alien gold mine god stomped his feet.

'Boom~'

There was a loud bang, and smoke filled the sky.

Ji Ruo, who had just finished distributing the incense, looked up in surprise.

But the wall behind the treasure chest suddenly collapsed, revealing the secret room hidden behind it.

On top of the staircase is a statue of a god made of various metals, with a small pickaxe at his waist, surrounded by divine light, but without exact facial features.

"Blessed by the gods?!" The second girl lost her voice.

Sheila looked even more incredulous: "The pickaxe on the waist, non-combative... This is... God-given life as a sub-profession?! ”

Ji Ruo was overjoyed to see it, and took out a small clay statue from somewhere, rushed to the top of the steps in three or two steps, and put the same unknown clay statue next to the metal statue, and said happily: "Look what I found?" Wild shrines! It must be the god of the stove who is watching me, knowing that you are going to become believers, and specially prepared to praise the god of the stove! ”

Second daughter: "??? ”

What do you think, this wild shrine wasn't prepared by the god of the stove, right?!

The owner is still on the side!

"Come and incense, remember to praise the god of the stove in your heart~"

In the corner, the fangs of the alien gold mine are about to be crushed, what's the matter with this human? Sick, isn't it?

"Human, you-"

He was going out to stop it.

Suddenly, a pitch-black hand pressed down on the alien gold mine god.

Obviously, the palm of his hand is slender, but he has unimaginable terrifying power, and he actually pressed the mine god in place and couldn't move.

The mine god turned back in shock, and saw a face that was so black that it was like a shadow flowing, and he couldn't tell whose face it was.

Here's the situation - the mine god peeked at Ji Ruo and the three of them in the corner, and the shadow clone peeked at the mine god in the corner behind.

Seeing that the mine god was about to make a move, the shadow clone held down the other party first, and shook his head slightly when the mine god looked back at him.

"What are you—"

The mine god asked in shock, and before he finished speaking, he was covered by the shadow clone.

'Shhh ’

The shadow clone lifted a finger and compared it to the face with no facial features.

Although he didn't hear a sound, the mine god knew that the shadow clone wanted him not to speak.

'Follow me. ’

The shadow clone hooked his fingers, and without waiting for the mine god to reply, he directly dragged it away.

It's just a shadow, and its power is so terrifying that even the gods can't compete with it!

Ji Ruo glanced at the corner where the mine god had been hiding before, and then withdrew his gaze.

He hadn't noticed, and Sheila had quietly glanced at the location.

Ji Ruo clapped his hands: "Come, kneel down first... Both knees. ”

"Why don't you kneel?" Sheila asked.

"I've already established a faith relationship with the god of the hearth, so I don't need to kneel." Ji Ruole said, what's the matter with kneeling by yourself?

"But you said the god of the stove doesn't care about that... And, why both knees? ”

The people of the Earth Mother Continent have a different view of kneeling than the people of Daxia, and for them, kneeling on one knee may be more important.

"Eh, it's the first time, it's just a formality!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!" Emily urged, "Jiruo, teach us to pray!" ”

"Actually, there are no specific prayers... The main thing is to be pious in incense, to praise the god of the stove for being handsome, and to praise the god of the stove for being strong... It is very important to be sincere, sincere and spiritual! ”

Sheila's face was odd.

Is this really a prayer?!

"Great Stove God, your handsomeness is rare ......in the world," Emily, who was naturally stunned, began to pray with a reverent face.

The corners of Sheila's mouth twitched, she took a deep breath, lit the incense, and began the first worship of the god of the stove under Ji Ruo's teaching.
