In the so-called seventh largest gold mining area in the main continent of Kemilia, it is not surprising that such a small gold palace building appears, but the magnificence of the room is jaw-dropping.

Alice is also the most favored princess of the Demon Moon Empire, but when she sees the furnishings of this golden palace, she can't help but look straight in the eyes.

"Is there such a place in the mountains and forests?" Hurrington saw all this luxury, and his heart fluttered, "How much is so much gold worth?" ”

The stranger said: "This is the place where the Shank Overseers are located, the outside of the house is protected by a triple magic array, and the entire house and palace are made of gold, those monsters will never be able to enter, you can stay here with confidence." ”

Alice said, "Are you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Niru Captain, and I am the captain of the soldiers stationed in the barracks in the gold mining area, you can call me Niru or Captain. ”

Chloe cleaned up the filth from her body and said, "Alice, why did you come here? If it weren't for the fact that we found that there were fewer monsters around the Golden Palace just now, and we heard the sound of fighting in the village, I am afraid you would be in danger." ”

"We're ......," Alice sighed, "It's a long story, anyway, I accidentally got lost and walked here, and Hurrington followed me to find me." She gave a brief account of what had happened.

Chloe said, "So there is such a thing, you are really unlucky." "They've had some unpleasant times at the Tubat volcano before, but they're not adults like Alice.

"Uh......" Hurrington touched the scratched wound on his face and asked, "Hey, Captain, is there any medicine here for me to wipe it on?"

"Are you hurt?" the crowd looked over, having been running for their lives and hadn't noticed this. But now seeing the scratches on Hurington's face, he looked horrified.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Hurrington was a little strange: "What's the matter? Isn't it just a few wounds, could it be that there is still poison?"

A few people were silent.

"It can't be really poisonous, is it?" said Hurrington, "Is there an antidote?"

Still no one spoke, just looked at him with a little sympathy.

Hurrington looked at them, "There's no antidote, then use magic to heal me." ”

Anglo took out some medicine from the package they had placed in the hall: "Here you go." It's detoxifying. ”

"Is there an antidote, is it applied externally or internally?" asked Hurrington, shaking the liquid in the small bottle.

"It's drunk. Chloe said, "Alice, you have to drink it too." ”

Alice asked, "I'm going to drink it too?" and I'm poisoned too? ”

"You have the poison of Attila's Death Ore, which neutralizes the toxin's aggression. Chloe said.

"Attila Death Ore!" Hurington looked shocked.

Alice asked, puzzled, "What's that?"

"It is an ore that contains poisonous elements and is extremely toxic. The terrible thing about this toxin ore is that even if you don't touch it, you can poison people if they are exposed to the air. Moreover, this poison is very variable, even in the absence of magic, it can produce different changes in different environments, different temperatures, humidity, and different substances. And people who have been poisoned by Attila ore toxin can hardly realize that they have been poisoned, and the poison will only attack after a period of time before death. ”

Alice's heart was indeed frightened, but she didn't expect that she had been poisoned after so many days of hunger strike in the forest. But fortunately, now that there is detoxification, she is also relieved.

Chloe went on to say: "The onset of this toxin is related to one's own strength and constitution. The stronger one's own strength, the greater the liliang contained in the body, and the more poisoned human toxins will be suppressed, and the weaker the strength, the opposite. Generally, they will be killed by this toxin in about two days. In the past, the famous 'Pulit Death Zone' was influenced by this ore. ”

"It's no wonder that the first to die were the mine prisoners, and I was fine for many days after direct contact with the ore. ”

"If the strength is strong enough, it can also completely suppress the toxicity and slowly dissolve its aggressiveness. But ......"

"But what?" the lieutenant looked at her.

Chloe looked at Hurrington and said, "But the monster that scratched you is likely to also have mutated toxins, and the medicine we brought can't be solved." ”

Sherington was stunned.

"No, it won't...... bar. Alice was stunned and turned to look at Hurrington.

Chloe sighed, "I'm really sorry. As you just said, this toxin is very variable, and the poison in the breath is not the same as the poison after it invades the corpse. That's how one of our companions died. ”

Hurrington had already found out that one of the four of them was missing, but he didn't expect that he was already dead.

"...... Hurrington," Alice looked at him, trying to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

Hurington stood there dumbfounded, and after a while, he suddenly forced a smile and said, "You also said it was possible." Maybe they weren't poisoned? If those monsters were poisoned, wouldn't they have to die? But they're still alive. ”

"Yes, yes, maybe. Chloe laughed too.

In fact, both Sherington and Chloe knew in their hearts that although this possibility existed, it was actually not high. A certain toxin is not effective against all living things, for example, this poison has no effect on plants at all, and it is useless against some demonic beasts that are not resistant to poison.

These humanoid mutated monsters may be resistant to this toxin, and it is more likely that the mutations of these monsters are related to Attila Death Ore.

The lifeless atmosphere was dull for a while. Alice noticed that something seemed wrong with Herrington: "What's wrong with you, Herrington?"

"I don't know, my legs seem to be ......" Hurrington crouched down and pulled up his trousers. This pulled everyone by surprise.

I saw that a large piece of flesh on his calf was rotten, and left a brown 'scar'. But when he looked closely, he found that those brown things were actually some dense insects like blood sucking in the gutter, and these small worms crawled around in his rotten flesh, multiplying, and looked like moldy steamed buns from a distance, but this mold was brown.

Alice was so frightened that she crawled away, for fear that she would also crawl on those little worms. She can't be blamed for this, she's just a girl.

"What is it, is it also caused by poison?" asked Niru Lieutenant.

"It should be. It was none other than Hurington himself. He was an alchemist, and he knew all too well about the changes in some matter.

"This is also poison?"

Anruger said: "This should be a fungus. It may have been catalytically propagated under the toxin of Attila. The poison of Attila's Death Ore is not only easy to change, but also something else. Attila toxin catalyzes and modifies microorganisms and parasites in the body of the poisoned person before and after death, including in vitro. ”

"Like those rotting monsters in the forest?"

"That's right, you know that when a corpse decomposes, a lot of worms will grow, and that's the same thing. ”

Hurrington thought it might have been an injury he had accidentally sustained while fighting in the forest, and he didn't notice it. He watched his calves slowly and continuously be eroded and expanded by the swarm of fungi, and a heavy shadow was cast on his heart. He poured the antidote on it and washed it with water, but it still didn't work. Although a lot of the fungus was cleaned out at that time, within a few minutes, it multiplied densely and everywhere.

After another ten minutes, Hurrington began to feel that something was wrong with his face, and the wound was constantly yellowish, and the juice like oil was flowing with blood.

"The poison is starting to kick in. Although she didn't want to say these heavy words, Chloe said anyway, because, "It's time for you to make a decision." ”

Alice didn't understand Chloe's words: "What decision?"

No one answered.
