Without Colin's burden, Pan Long can finally fully display his skills.

A long knife swung quickly in his hand, like a ball of silver light, dazzling to watch. Although the two monsters had many tentacles, they couldn't break through his sword light defense line at all, but he seized the opportunity to cut an unknown number of knives, from complete to fragments, and finally cut into pieces no more than the size of a fist.

But the strange thing is that even so, they are not dead, and they are still squirming, trying to attack Pan Long.

"What the hell is this!" Pan Long couldn't help but grumble, "Is there a way to completely eliminate them?"

Weimar replied, "These are primordial calamities, they are immortal." ”

"Damn! Is there a way to limit them a bit?"

"I don't know ...... either"

Pan Long was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Seeing how confident you came to the treasure hunt, I thought you would at least have some means - it turns out that you don't know anything!

You don't know anything, and you dare to come out and die?

His face was so vicious that any fool could tell the words "I'm angry" on his face, and Weimar and Joseph looked at each other in shame, but they didn't know what to do.

Seeing that it was at an impasse, a weak voice rang out.

"Fire, salt. Colin shuddered, but struggled to make a sound, "They, can, restraint, calamity." ”

Pan Long's eyes lit up, the tip of the knife provoked, and he picked up the tentacles into the bonfire. I could only hear the sound of the flames burning the flesh and skin, and there were faint strange screams coming from the fire.

But there were too many tentacles, and as more and more tentacles were picked into the fire, the fire gradually weakened. Pan Long suspected that if he picked some more, they might be able to extinguish the fire with their flesh and blood.

Fortunately, Joseph reacted, found a pot of oil, took out pieces of linen, poured oil on the cloth, and threw it into the fire.

The specially refined fire oil ignited when it caught fire, and together with the flammable cotton cloth, the fire exploded in an instant, and the raging flames almost rushed higher than people.

Pan Long nodded, praised "well done", and continued to pick those tentacles in.

This time, they were no longer able to make a difference, and they were all thrown into the fire.

When all the tentacles had entered, Joseph brought in another salt, and with a gritted tooth, half a jar of salt was poured into the fire.

When the salt met the fire, it made a continuous crackling sound, and the originally exuberant fire became even brighter, almost dazzling.

And from inside the fire came the screams of a woman, and listening to the voices, it was vaguely Lady Anne and Marianne. The screams continued for a long time, but finally they slowly muffled into the flames, and finally disappeared without a trace.

With tears streaming down his face, Joseph fell to his knees and cried out the names of his mother and wife. There was also a cry all around, and the clouds were gloomy.

Pan Long sighed, walked up to Colin, and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

"I probably won't. Colin's face turned pale, wrinkles appeared on his face, and his jet-black hair turned white at a visible rate, and he quickly changed from a sturdy middle-aged man to a withered and frail old man, "I'm already old, and this time I'm bleeding too much, and I've been interrupted from awakening...... Even a young and strong awakened person would have a hard time surviving in my situation. It's better to say that I was lucky to be able to survive this time. ”

Pan Long shook his head and didn't say anything.

"We were really careless this time!" Colin sighed, "I should have thought that those gems would not be a hassle to carry, and even if you are rich, you should not leave them at home - rich people may not care about money, but a lot of jewelry is heirloom and cannot be left behind." ”

"Why does wearing jewelry turn into a 'calamity'?" Pan Long asked.

"I don't know. Colin laughed miserably and said, "The calamity erupts without warning, and no one knows why. ”

"What about these jewelry......

"Perhaps, if you are interested, you can take them to the scholars who study the calamity, and perhaps they will be able to produce results. ”

Pan Long nodded: "What are you going to do next?"

"When I die, I am cremated, and my ashes are scattered here. Colin gasped twice, his voice getting weaker and weaker, "Anne and I have known each other since childhood, we have never been separated in our lives, and we will die together. ”

His children and grandchildren gathered together and wept uncontrollably.

"We've already gained a lot this time, and I guess the problem with those jewellery should be in the gemstones, not the gold and silver. Wait a minute, separate them according to the silver and gold, and burn them with fire, and divide the silver and gold, and the precious stones ......."

"Give me the gems. Pan Long said, "I'm going to find someone to study it." ”

"Then please. Colin coughed, his face gradually turned gray, and looked at his children and grandchildren again, "If we are not greedy this time, we will go back yesterday, and everyone will be safe and sound, and we can return with a full load...... Remember, greed is the devil, and it is worse than calamity!"

At the last sentence, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to make the green tendons on his face burst.

Then, his body suddenly relaxed, exhaled his last breath, and died like that.

The children and grandchildren wept together, and the night was full of gloomy sorrow.

After weeping, Weimar and Joseph did as Colin had instructed, set up firewood, and burned his body to ashes.

The charcoal and ashes were mixed in the ashes of the tentacles burned from the previous pile. They dug a pit on the side of the road, buried the ashes in which they didn't know who was who, and then erected a stone in front of the pit as a monument.

After all this, most of the night passed. Everyone had no intention of sleeping, so they packed their things and prepared to go home.

Joseph had already burned all the jewelry, and had burned out a great deal of gold and silver. He wanted to give the gold and silver to Pan Long, but Pan Long refused.

"The gold bars I gave on the first day were enough. Pan Long said, "There are many of you, so it's better to bring more money." ”

But he took the gems.

Among the gemstones, such as pearls and diamonds, they turned to ashes when burned by fire, but there are also many that remain after burning. In particular, a few silvery-white gemstones, after firing, there are many small holes in them, which looks more beautiful.

Pan Long carefully looked at these gems and tried to recall.

Before...... It seems that the bag worn by Lady Anne and Marianne is inlaid with this silvery-white gemstone?

He asked, "What kind of gem is this?"

Everyone doesn't know each other, they don't usually live well, where can they tell the type of gemstone?

Pan Long frowned, feeling that there was obviously something strange about this matter.

Before these silvery-white gems were burned by fire, they did not have those holes in them, and they looked like a complete piece, even some transparent and dazzling.

And what are the ones that are burned?

This world ...... Could the "calamity" that broke out in the Kingdom of America have anything to do with this gem?

"Tomorrow you go back by yourselves, I'm going to stay here. He said, "I'm going to go to the rich area again, find a few more of these gems, and study them!"
