Chapter 31: It's the Pit

"Catherine, you just looked at the area on the map, is there anything wrong there?"

After exiting Torre's building, Bar asked Katherine about opening the map.

Catherine replied, "That's the territory of the Death Shards, and Torre asked us to help him get the goods, but he didn't have a good heart. ”

Curious baby Jim popped up: "What is 'Death Shard'?" Is it also a gang of bandits who block the road and rob like the 'Hungry Wolf Gang'? ”

Catherine nodded: "It's almost, it belongs to an organization of a nature, but they are more tightly organized, and besides, all members are 'capable people'!" ”

The gap between the "capable people" and ordinary people is very obvious, if it is a vicious force organization composed entirely of "capable people", then its combat effectiveness is indeed not something that ordinary teams can compete with.

Even under Torrey, the number of "capable people" is only a dozen, so it is no wonder that he is reluctant to deal with the "Death Fragment" himself.

Three thousand tokens, it does sound like a lot, but it's a pity that you don't have a life to spend it.

The expedition team bought a lot of rations and mechanical parts in the "fortress" again, this time they didn't have to worry about transportation, and with Catherine here, they could pack everything into her "subspace backpack".

Barr also asked her about the size of the "subspace backpack", and Catherine replied that the goods they bought, along with all her own belongings, together accounted for about half of the entire backpack.

After a short rest, the expedition set off from the "fortress" again, and they were to explore the three settlements and a trading post marked by Catherine.

"Catherine, have you been to the upper and lower levels?" At the entrance and exit of the "fortress", Cha Mo pointed to the center of the "fortress", a transparent passage that runs through the entire square.

Catherine shook her head: "The transportation fee to the central passage is ten tokens per person, and I don't have so much money to waste on it." ”

"But I've heard that the environment is very different from one level to another, you see our level, there are circular pipes everywhere, and most of them are lit by light strips......"

"This may not be the case in other levels, some levels are said to be full of all kinds of mushrooms, while others are flooded and flooded everywhere."

Jim's eyes widened, "Really? I thought that other places were like us, but did people in other places look like us? Do they also have 'Abilities' and 'Divine Power Fragments'? ”

Catherine shrugged: "Probably, but one thing is for sure, they are all tokens." ”

"Occasionally, there will be specialities from other tiers that enter the auction house, yes, like the 'cat' you mentioned earlier."

Catherine said to Chamo, "The 'cat' seems to be a creature of other levels, and I have never seen such an animal in our level in a long time. ”

Jim nodded repeatedly: "yes, yes, oh, we've seen rats, cockroaches and spider monsters at most, and the kind of furry animals you mentioned at the end of the tea are really that cute?" ”

Cha Mo shook his ears proudly: "Of course, if it weren't for its cuteness, how could I choose a cat as the direction of mutation." ”

What she thought to herself was that even the "Lord" had acquiesced in my cuteness, and now he wouldn't drive her away.

Jim said wistfully, "In the future, I will definitely go to other levels to see a completely different world from ours." ”

……

Tang Hao was also very interested in the worlds of other levels, just from the height of the transparent passage, the separation between layers was at least hundreds of meters, and it was absolutely impossible to reach it by manpower.

At the same time, it also means that the layers are almost independent worlds from each other.

So why are they divided? What was the whole connected world like before it became a wasteland?

And, most realistically, what kind of force is the "fortress" that holds the upper and lower passages?

These are all things that Tang Hao needs to know in the future.

Sir Torre is a channel to get more information, and if you can help him get back the lost goods, you can get a bounty of 3,000 tokens, and you can get closer to him, which is indeed a great opportunity.

The question is how to communicate with the Death Fragments.

Tang Hao naturally didn't plan to use force to communicate with the other party, there were only fourteen people under him, and each of them was his baby bump, and it was absolutely impossible for Torre to fight with others.

As for the peaceful way of communication, Tang Hao is still considering it.

However, there is a suspicion in the whole thing, if Torre is telling the truth and the box "Death Shards" cannot be opened, then they will definitely think of other ways to monetize.

It stands to reason that the "Death Fragment" would have such a stiff quarrel with Torre, and actually directly hit the negotiators to death, you must know that no matter how crazy the robber is, there is no reason to tear up the ticket directly without negotiating the price.

At this point, it was already a dead knot, although Tang Hao was very unwilling, he could only put it aside.

Because there was a more important thing in front of him, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

……

Walking at the end of the line, she suddenly moved her ears, and she keenly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped the team.

"Be careful! Someone is following us! Cha Mo shrank up, his whole body like a pressed spring.

Barr and Jim immediately took a few steps back, and the whole group shrank together, surrounding Fran in the center.

Catherine also clenched the electric shocker on her arm: "Who?" Where is it? ”

Chamo's ears were looking for the other party's movements: "I don't know, his steps are very light, I can't find where he is." ”

As the crowd looked around nervously, Fran suddenly straightened up and raised the spider claw spear in her hand.

"Whew!" She threw her hands together, and the spear was like a meteor, instantly inserting into the crack in the wall not far away.

The members of the expedition were amazed, but even more surprised was another man.

"Hehehehe, you are the first to be able to discover my existence at such a distance...... I'm not mistaken, you guys do have a lot of potential......"

In a burst of mournful laughter, a figure emerged from the shadows beside the spear that stood.

The skin on his body blended with the gray-black passages, and from the visual conditions, there were hardly any flaws.

If he hadn't shown up on his own initiative, the expedition members would not have been able to see through his disguise.

"Are you ......" Barr frowned, he saw the other party's skin quickly turn from gray-black to blue: "Who are you the one last time?" ”

Catherine answered his question: "Are you the blue lizard Bouchard?" ”
