"Is this it?"

Xia Daiti asked, looking at the layer of vines below that were still no different from other places.

Arka glanced at the map and nodded.

"That's right, this is it. It looks like it's a treasure spot underwater. ”

After making sure, Xia Daiti slowly squatted into the water, revealing only one head above the water. His body was all underwater, and he knelt on one knee with his hands on the vine layer.

A halo of light appeared above her head, and the triangular gem began to spin slightly.

The surroundings darkened for a moment, and there was a stark difference from the area next to them that was exposed to direct sunlight, as if a dark cloud had enveloped them above.

A large amount of light followed Xia Daiti's body into silver ripples, and began to probe beneath the vine layer.

Normally they don't do that.

The main thing is that Arka makes it clear that this place is very dangerous and must be very, very cautious.

Therefore, Xia Daiti carried out an early depth detection.

The silver ripples penetrate the vines and go down the sea.

While the sea and plants will slightly block the expansion of the Silver Ripples, there are no spell materials in this area.

So this obstacle is not worth mentioning.

The silver ripples kept expanding.

A large area of the sea below has been clearly fed back in Xia Daiti's mind.

In Xia Daiti's mind, this area has a clear and three-dimensional image.

Except for two.

Next to it are Lucilia, Pololo, Julia, and Matrice.

The three Jasons were in charge of gathering information in the city, so they didn't act with them.

To gather this kind of cryptic information, they need to spend enough time, and the best of all is humans.

Sometimes you have to admit it.

Alien race that is obviously different in appearance.

It's easier to gain trust as human beings.

When Xia Daiti was probed. There was a gust of wind in the sky, and an object that shimmered in the sunlight flew down.

It landed steadily in the water.

It was the crystal dragon Urullius who lived outside.

The mood is very bad.

Julia and Matresa stepped forward to comfort them, and took out the gem from their pocket rings that Jason had given them before leaving.

Then he took over several puppet legions from Ulullius, and intimately began to check if there was anything on them that needed to be repaired.

The members of these puppet legions, looking at the wings behind them, knew that they all came from Jiu's team.

They were responsible for observing the security around Ulullius and reporting to the Arka and others about what had happened to Ulurius.

After all, Urullius is still a child.

With the gem, the Crystal Dragon's mood was noticeably better.

Listening to her voice, it seems that Jason is still saying that it is not good, and it seems that she is very unhappy that Jason did not come out to see her.

The two women could only comfort beside them.

In addition to them, Lucilia was also surrounded by Wu and five of the puppet girls in the team she led.

They're checking some strange conical machines.

"I didn't see any energy fluctuations that were wrong...... If anything's quirky.

Sixteen thick vines were entwined and fell into the depths of the sea, a place where I couldn't even find a ripple. ”

"More than 100 meters?" Alka asked.

Xia Daiti nodded.

"Hmmm......"

If it exceeds 100 meters, then the environment of that sea area is obviously not suitable for Arka and them to fight.

Only the three of them can perfectly exert their due strength in that area.

Trouble.

Arka also thought of waiting for his strength to break through to the fourth stage, relying on hidden means to receive the strength of the dream realm to deal with this danger.

Obviously, the sea is too deep, which makes this more risky.

More preparation is needed.

"Wu, it's your turn." Arka said.

Wu and her team nodded, and began to manipulate the cone-shaped devices into the water. Of course, they are only responsible for maneuvering, not deep into the water.

The detectors began to move underwater towards the dozen or so entwined vines that Xia Daiti had just mentioned.

Follow the vines and start to move downstream.

This is a deep-sea exploration machine of the West Monte heterostructure.

As the object gradually enters the deep sea.

Lost contact at the same time in an instant.

The six puppet girls opened their eyes at the same time.

"Something broke the detection device in an instant, 168 meters underwater."

It does seem to be dangerous.

"Can you determine what it is?"

"Unexpectedly, the enemy's attack was very rapid, destroying all six detection devices distributed within 20 meters in an instant."

Wu shook his head and said with some regret.

It seems more dangerous than they think.

"Why don't I go down and have a look?" Bororo said next to him.

Arka shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous. ”

This time the operation seems to have been in vain.

They didn't have much more to gain than to identify the area below that was really dangerous and the danger was 160 meters down.

Arka was very decisive and gave up directly probing.

"Pack up, let's go back."

Get these done.

The crowd began to return to the city.

On the way, they met the patrolling soldiers, who seemed to recognize Arka's appearance, and nodded.

The main thing is that their ranks are really conspicuous.

Back to the flower room.

Arka sat on a bench of flowers and thought.

"Looks like we'll have to find an excuse to ask the church in this place."

It wouldn't be nice if Jason went directly to the church and asked.

Arka decided to go his own way.

"Then you'll have to give yourself a reason." Julia reminded from the side.

"What's the best reason to choose?"

Xia Daiti thought for a while and said beside him: "You don't need too good a reason, just say that we are here to explore, right?"

Anyway, there are countless seniors who did this, and I'm sure most of the people in this place think the same thing about us. ”

Arka nodded, as if that were indeed the case.

The church here and the local forces almost acquiesced in the fact that outsiders like them came to Zehai. They are all exploration teams that come to observe and detect all kinds of explorations.

I've gotten used to it for so many years.

Thinking of a reason can easily be perceived as cheating.

"Okay, that's it."

If there is a requirement, you have to know the requirement.

……

"So to gather information, you really want to go to the tavern?" Simon said, looking at his surroundings.

They were in a tavern at this time.

Sitting at a table with Jason and Juan Lu, it's like the same people who come here to buy drunk.

Eating the slightly meaty appetizers on the table, and drinking sake that was clearly made from some kind of flower.

It's a different flavor.

Jason is like a regular.

Perfectly blended in with the atmosphere of the whole tavern.

He looked a little sloppy, eating and drinking wine while eating snacks.

"Of course, it's the best place. You may not be able to get any important information, but you will certainly be able to get some interesting information. ”

Simon looked at Juanlu next to him.

Juan Lu also behaved unusually at ease, and was even in the mood to prick up his ears to listen to the chatter at the table next to him.

After all, he followed Jason's actions, not once or twice, and he was already familiar with the process of action.

I even learned a lot from Jason.

"Recently, another outsider has come, and it seems that he is still a big shot." One of the drinkers said vaguely.

"Who did you listen to?"

"My brother, isn't he a soldier? I found out a few days ago, and I heard that they still live in the flower forest. ”

"So rich?"

"Hmph, that's our money."

"True or false? It's disgusting, why spend our money to make these outsiders live in a good place? ”

As he spoke, more people around joined in the small talk.

After all, it's just between tavern tables and tables, and you can't expect them to be very far apart.

Hear the small talk here.

Jason also mixed in.

"I've heard they seem to be from the Church of Our Lady."

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it too, it seems like they saved a lot of people at the Emerald Fortress before."

"Really? It can't be nonsense, right? ”

"It's true, the guy who sold the fruit yesterday just came back from there."

"Okay, there will always be some good people."

"Everybody's like those crazy people, that's okay."

Simon looked at Jason like this, and after a while, he broke into the group and cursed with them.

It even quickly changed the way these people rated them.

I even talked to them about the political system of the church for some reason.

They talked about diplomatic relations with surrounding forces.

I talked about the waiters walking around, as well as some female drinkers.

？？？

So how did it work?

Simon, who is not so thick-skinned, is incomprehensible.

Later, he found out that Juan Lu next to him didn't know when he was gone.

Swept around the tavern.

Only to find him chatting with a drinking lady at the bar.

Look at the way the two of them talk and laugh.

Apparently they had a good chat and had a lot of depth.

？？？

Once again, Simon didn't understand, so how the hell did he do it?

These two people are often chosen to scout for information, and there is a reason why.

Simon could only think of it in his heart.

Sitting in his place, silently drinking, it is difficult for a scholar and researcher to adapt to the atmosphere here.

"Friends drinking alone? Is there something bothering you? ”

A reddish woman with a heavy smell of alcohol sat next to Simon.

Since the wine is made from flowers, the woman has a strong floral fragrance.

"No, I just like someone."

Simon glanced at the inexplicable strange woman.

Looking at this strange woman from the eyes of a normal person, she can be called quite beautiful.

But it's too thin.

"Really? You're an outsider. The woman said drunkenly, reaching out to Simon's bare right hand.

The right hand has a distinct metallic sheen, and a normal flower citizen would not have a metal arm.

"It's hard."

The woman's slender finger was stained with a drop of wine, which shimmered in the light and lightly touched the right hand of steel.

Seeing this, Simon frowned slightly.

The woman's hand began to caress the back of the steel hand, feeling the coldness of the metal.

"Will it have feelings? Is it like a normal hand? ”

Looking at the woman's hand, she had already begun to climb up from the back of her hand to her wrist.

Simon's brow furrowed even deeper.

He stood up and pushed her hand away, then raised his right hand to inspect it. Pick up a paper towel next to it and wipe the liquor off top.

The look of disgust on his face was not fake.

Even sniffed.

Smelling the faint smell of wine in his delicate hands, his face was disgusted, as if he was dirty.

glanced at the slightly dazed woman next to her, her face full of unhappiness.

Push away the chair and get ready to leave.

But as soon as I took two steps, I seemed to remember something.

Return to your place and take your wine glass, and the plate in the center of the table, and leave with you.

In the face of Simon's undisguised expression of emotion.

Some of the dazed women put their hands in their pockets, took out a palm-sized mirror, and carefully illuminated it through the light.

Then he raised his left hand that he had just stretched out in confusion and sniffed it carefully.

Simon's series of operations made her a little unconfident.

In the end, he could only mumble to himself: "A stinky man like metal." ”

There was a chaotic sound from the side.

Turn your head to look.

The two drunken men were already tangled together.

Immediately, a large open space appeared in the place where the two of them were fighting, and all the surrounding tables, chairs and benches were removed.

The men and women in the tavern stood everywhere, even on the table, watching the battle in the middle.

"Up, hard!"

"Didn't you eat? Do you still have the strength to come out and fight? ”

"What are you doing with all this effort? It's not as good as me! ”

The person who said this was an old woman who looked to be half a hundred.

Looking at the old grandmother holding a cane in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, when she was young, she thought that she was indeed one of the best hands.

The battle between the two is becoming more and more chaotic.

The commotion around them is getting louder and louder, and even a gaming table has been set up next to it.

Many people have actively participated.

In the face of the chaos here, even the bartender and the boss behind the wine cabinet did not come to disturb them, but watched with great interest.

The tables, chairs and benches around were already being moved away by those drinkers very consciously when they were fighting.

So that the two people in the middle have no weapons to use, and can only fight hand-to-hand.

Simon came to Jason, who was also watching from the sidelines.

"Shall we go?"

Jason shook his head at Simon's words.

"The man's mood is not normal." Jason, who has been in a contract with the crystal dragon for a long time, also has the characteristic of clearly sensing his emotions.

And the man who was pressed and beaten at this time, who looked obviously thinner than his opponent, was already red-eyed.

Something is not right with the mood.

"Something is wrong? It's wrong. Simon said.

It's already red-eyed, how can it be right, let alone drink.

Then the blood red in the man's eyes seemed to be about to burst out of his sockets, and faint blood stains were all over the sockets.

"Well, something is really wrong." Simon repeated again, this time without indifference in his voice.

"Roar!"

With a piercing roar.

The man's clothes tore as he grew in size.

Blood marks around the eye sockets began to spread all over the body, spreading rapidly like cobwebs.

Hands turned into claws.

Countless blood began to emerge from the pores, staining the whole person with blood red.

The sudden change made his opponent stunned in place.

Before everyone could react, the blood-red claws directly stepped forward and stabbed.

In an instant, he pierced through the chest that was fighting with him, and then turned it with force.

It was still beating, and the heart with some fascial flesh attached to it was pulled out.

Blood gushed out wildly.

Stained this human-turned-monster even redder.

"Ahhh

The screams of the women rang out.

The entire tavern was in chaos for a moment.

"There's a monster, run."

"Those madmen have turned into monsters, why are they here!"

"Soldiers! Flower Knight! ”

Chaos roars.

"Blood!"

The sudden change of monster roared. Began to attack the surrounding tavern guests who tried to escape.

Indiscriminate attacks.

"Shall we go?" Juan Lu came to Jason's side and said.

Jason didn't answer, but looked at Simon.

Simon's glasses were already wearing lenses to detect strength.

"It's not strong, barely promoted to the third stage, but looking at his physique, it's obviously stronger than the fluctuations he exudes."

Hear this.

Jason said directly: "Contain him, and capture him alive if he can." ”

Hearing this, the other two didn't ask much.

The three of them immediately rushed forward.

At this point, the monster's claws were already attacking a woman who was retreating frantically, and had fallen to the ground and could not stand up.

A blue magic bullet smashed into the monster's body, freezing his arm instantly.

A thick club swung and slammed straight into the monster's frozen hand.

The three balls floating on the stick immediately bit it.

Three balls circled around, and the sharp teeth were like cutting machines.

In just an instant, the entire frozen arm was directly bitten off.

The three balls tore at each other, swallowing them into their stomachs.

The orb instantly stained a hint of blood red, and grew larger, revealing a hint of madness.

Since the source of this monster was obviously not right, Juan Lu did not let what his three orbs ate convert into energy and transmit it to him.

Rather, they are used to strengthen themselves.

Two long metal chains spliced together flew in, hooking the frightened woman to the ground and dragging her over.

"Run, it's not safe here."

Simon didn't even look at it, and threw the woman out of the tavern.

Raise your hand, and a network of energy shoots out.

The monster caught the net in an instant.

"Be careful!"

Jason said, raising his hand sharply.

A large number of crystals were sprayed out.

In an instant, the monster's gaping jaw was blocked.

The monster's entire head seemed to swell.

The attack that was about to be spit out was forcefully stuffed back.

The magma that flowed from the corner of his mouth could only tell what he was trying to spit out.

Under the containment of the trio.

The people in the tavern quickly escaped.

…………

Here Alka has already inquired and has come to the area where the church is located.

This place is behind the bones of that huge flower.

A flower house that looks like it's just a little bigger, but behind it is a bunch of flower houses that are put together.

It has been turned into a complex of buildings.

Looking at the flower room in front of him, Arka was about to walk in.

A young girl dressed in a floral costume looks at Alka.

Stopped in front of Arka.

"Excuse me, is it Arca Lady?"

Watching the girl call out her name, Arka nodded.

"Yes."

The girl nodded, reaching inside and welcoming Arka in.

"My lord, please come with me, the great gardener has been waiting for you for a long time."
