Chapter 166: Quicksand Vortex
When you leave for a moment and come back only to find that someone who is not carrying anything is actually barbecuing meat, what is your first reaction?
Shirley didn't know the reaction of others, anyway, Shirley was slightly stunned, and then immediately ran to the corner to rummage, until she was sure that there was just a little less ingredient, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scared the hell out of me, I thought you used redstone to make a fire. β
Walking over to Emia and sitting down, Shirley patted her chest and made a look of palpitations.
"Sorry, I'm a little hungry, but I just saw some ingredients over there. Redstone, is that what was in that little bag?"
Dealing with the ingredients in his hand, Emia said apologetically.
As for the red stone, Emia had seen it once, and it was what Herlamin had given to Catlea and Renee, two fist-sized red stones.
"Well, I'm here to collect redstone for the village to spend the winter. It's just that I'm unlucky, and I've been hit by sandstorms for many days in a row, and I've only collected such a small amount of flint until now. β
Shirley opened the flat bag in her hand and took out a thumb-sized dark red gravel, her face a little bitter.
"Uh! This is redstone! Shouldn't redstone be red?"
Taking the gravel from Shirley's hand, Yamaia looked at it carefully, it was nothing more than a stone with a small amount of red powder.
"I really don't know where you came from, I don't even know this, this is the lowest level, it's good to find this kind of stone that contains red stone, pure red stone, only the upper layer has it. β
A handful snatched the gravel from Emiya's hand. Shirley stuffed it into the bag angrily.
"Oh, if it's this kind of stone, I've got two in my hand. β
Emia reached into his arms. Pretending to be in his clothes, he actually took out two pale red gravel from the space bag.
"Where did you get all this? β
Although he only had two pieces of gravel in his hand, he was much more bright red in color, and he probably contained more redstone than the dozen or so in Shirley's bag combined.
"Picked it up on the road. β
Emia replied casually, and threw the gravel in Shirley's hand. Although there are slight discrepancies, the two redstones are indeed the same as the ones they were picked up.
These two pieces of rubble were found in the body of the monster that he had slaughtered earlier. At first, he didn't know it was redstone, and he didn't notice the time Heramin took it out. It was only because of the energy contained in these two pieces of gravel that he put them away. Let's see if we can sell it for some money. After all, he was a newcomer, and he didn't have any currency that could circulate in this world.
"Forget it, with these two redstones, the winter reserves are almost enough. My mission is almost complete. β
Shirley puts the redstone in the light and looks at it. He was so happy that he didn't even care about Amiya's obvious prevarication.
As long as you find some more redstone, the village will be able to survive this winter. If you can meet a high-level wizard passing by, you may be able to exchange it for more supplies.
"It's not easy for you. β
"This is also a helpless thing, who made this the lowest level, the place where the resources of the demon world are the most lacking. β
Shirley showed a wry smile on her face and said very bitterly.
She has been talking frequently about the lowest and lowest levels, and it seems that the underground world of the Demon Realm is divided into several layers.
"Why don't you go to the upper floors. β
Hear Emiah's question. Shirley looked stunned and shook her head helplessly. "Although the lowest level is a little bitter, there will basically be no demons coming down, except for the occasional encounter with void monsters, there will be no other dangers. The upper layer is different, the resources of the upper layer are indeed very rich, but there are also countless demons there, and humans don't even have a chance to survive there. β
"That's it!" At this time, Amiya didn't know what to say, so she could only fall silent.
Although he had already guessed that the life of human beings in the demon world was not very good, he did not expect that it had reached such a miserable point.
"Well, the meat should be roasted!"
Shirley's voice woke him up from her musings.
"Ahh β
handed a portion of the barbecue in his hand to Shirley, and the two ate it silently.
After eating the barbecue and cleaning up the things, because the sandstorm would not stop for a while, the two of them found a corner and rested.
ββββββ
"The weather is good, if nothing else, we should be able to get back to the village today. β
Standing on top of the sand dunes, Shirley looked into the distance and said to Omia beside her.
"Yes! That's good. β
Looking at the vast desert with only the occasional breeze, Omia replied casually.
The most terrifying thing in the desert is that you are disoriented, that you lack water, that you are in the heat, and that you are covered with yellow sand.
Shirley had a record pointer in her hand that could point them in the right direction, and although she didn't have much water, it was enough for the two of them to use for a few days, and there was no unbearable heat in the desert underground, and the storm had just passed, and there would be no new storms for the time being, and in general, there was nothing in the desert that could stop them.
Moreover, the probability of encountering void creatures at the bottom of the demon world is very low, and the probability of encountering demons is even lower, and the frequency of Omia being able to encounter void monsters twice in three days is already a very high frequency. Normally, they wouldn't have met a single void creature after walking in the desert for a week.
Emia and Shirley have been walking together for a little half a day, and half a day is enough time for Emia to do a lot of things, such as clichΓ©s!
Shirley, who is only a teenager, no matter how precocious she is, how can she be the opponent of Emiya, who has lived for an unknown number of years, and it only took half a day for him to basically set out what Shirley knew. It's a pity that Shirley doesn't know much about this world, which is probably the limitation of the horizon!
Of course, it is not without problems, when setting Shirley's words, Emia did not pay attention, revealing that he was not a person of this layer. He will do what he wants, so that Shirley mistakenly thinks that he is a person who comes down from the top, anyway, Shirley doesn't know much about the top, and he can just hide why he doesn't know anything about this layer.
"That's, Quicksand Vortex!"
Looking into the distance, Shirley suddenly jumped up with joy.
"What's wrong?"
Emia looked at Shirley a little strangely, he had seen the quicksand whirlpool a long time ago, and there was something strange about seeing a whirlpool in the desert.
"Where there's a whirlpool, there's redstone. β
Happily replying to Emiya, Shirley quickly ran towards the whirlpool. (To be continued......)
