The cold iron does not cool very slowly, but about ten minutes after entering the crypt, the burning sensation in the chest turned into a warm feeling. However, it may still be difficult to remove it before it completely cools down. And since there is no

To connect with the wizard's field of vision, Networm can only carefully walk at the end of the team and follow Buckham. This is not a good position. People walking at the end of the team are often the choice of sneak attackers. Since there are no companions behind them, even if they disappear,

Often difficult to find.

But what was somewhat unexpected was that there were some natural light sources in these passages. They were fluorescent flying insects flying around the team. At first Leon thought they were the Sons of Green, but after carefully observing them for a few seconds, the knight realized that

They are insects whose bodies are tubular and hollow, with a dim light emitting from them.

"Rotten Firefly." Cursed Crow stretched out his hand to grab one of them, crushed it cruelly between his fingertips, and said lightly.

Leon and Buckham, who grew up in the north, did not know much about this creature, but experienced killers and mercenaries, as well as Qili, who came from the southern city, were familiar with the rotting firefly. The larvae of this insect can be found in rotten food.

Here, these in the sky are their adults. This is an extremely short-lived creature. Once it spreads its wings, it will not be long before death.

The folk saying is that these little guys are elves born from food that has not been properly kept, and will dissipate when exposed to sunlight. Wizards who are good at biological structures know that the life span of rotten fireflies is extremely short only because they become

The adult worm has no other organs in its body except a simple reproductive system. After exhausting its physical strength, it cannot even replenish it and will starve to death.

"Why are they here? Aren't rat people non-vegetarian?" the female mercenary said with some confusion. Although these little guys did solve a lot of problems for her, she was afraid when she thought of the witch Kuila's control over insects.

The team has fallen under the enemy's surveillance.

The wizard waved his hand gently, indicating that everyone should not worry. "Cheese once said that the rat people here are different. Maybe they collected food while trying to change the diet. Don't worry, the structure of these rotten fireflies is too fragile.

They cannot carry any magic. They are the living dead who are destined to die." The Cursed Crow shook his palms to let the insect debris remaining on his fingertips fall off, and then mouthed silently, "Who is not?"

The number of rotting fireflies slowly increased as they went deeper. They seemed to be flying from the same direction. After a brief discussion, a few people decided to go in the opposite direction to find the birthplace of the rotting fireflies. That should be the place where the rat people of Valley City were.

Granary or other facilities, such facilities should not be far away from

The main body was too far away. On the way, they inevitably passed an unmanned outpost, but compared to the one where Lyon and Buckham first encountered giant ants, there were no traces of insect activity in this building. They even saw no signs of insect activity in the outpost.

I found some food that I didn't have time to finish.

"Judging from the bite marks, it does belong to rat people, but..." The blood lion picked up a piece of dry food on the earthen platform. It showed a faint fluorescent green color, which was far from the food in ordinary people's eyes, but it was indeed

There are indeed teeth marks, and there are leaves instead of plates placed on the earthen platform.

Qili took the unknown object from the knight's hand, blinked her eyes, and then actually took a small bite from the other direction! Everyone else showed varying degrees of surprise when they noticed her behavior, only Cursed Crow

Impatiently, he snatched the thing over, pinched some off with his nails, crushed it, put it under his nose and smelled it. "Powders of various mushrooms, and some moss, are generally harmless to the human body. Of course it is not excluded.

Taste damage caused by taste.”

While the wizard was analyzing the ingredients of this rat-man dry food, the reckless witch was already holding on to the corner and vomiting. "It tastes like horse dung with salt." Qili commented, and at the same time wrapped the piece of food with leaves.

He stood up and carefully hung it on his belt, "I must

I have to let Peg have a taste." It seems that if she can leave here smoothly, poor Peg will inevitably be bullied again. Fortunately, no one in the team cared about this episode, and even after Qili's nonsense, they were so nervous

The nerves that were too tight were relaxed a little.

"Let's move on after you've rested. The number of rotting fireflies has been reduced a lot. I'm afraid I'll get lost in the tunnel if I delay any longer." The demon said, leaning on the exit of the outpost with his arms folded. He looked at it.

The road leading deeper has as many as three forks. Fortunately now

The rotten fireflies that keep flying out have become reliable beacons. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to explore these passages. However, at this time, the number of rotten fireflies flying out continuously has been decreasing.

The road had to pass through many such forks, and Karus proposed to step up.

The passage after passing through the outpost is much wider than before. Although the rat men can walk on four legs, it can be seen from this that they are still accustomed to walking like humans. The three passages are wide enough for adults to pass through. Curse

Seeing this, Crow also put away the metal ball from the Heart of the Deep. There was no need to widen the passage here, and the deeper underground, the more compact the structures built by the rat people. If the power of moving the earth is used rashly, it may

Cause the collapse of other spaces and cause unnecessary trouble.

After gaining dark vision, Leon took the lead and walked at the front of the team, while the demon kept a few steps away from him and followed in second place. The reason for leaving a distance was to prevent the blood lion from falling into any trap.

The people behind him were also implicated, and it also left room for Leon to deal with the enemy. Moreover, such a few steps distance was as if it did not exist for Karus, and it did not affect his speed of supporting Leon at all.

"It's such an exquisite structure. We have gone so deep underground without feeling any difficulty in breathing. How did these rat men do it?" The cursed crow breathed hard at the air in the passage, which was mixed with some earth.

The smell does not prevent it from bringing life to people. It is so magical

The strange underground building design, let alone ordinary humans, even dwarves or wizards cannot guarantee that it can be built. You know, so far, the magicians have not seen facilities or tunnels specially used for ventilation. Rat people

Almost by virtue of his talent, he solved the most troublesome problem of underground construction.

This made the gray-robed wizard couldn't help but think that if such a race could slowly increase in number, then over time, the title of Sons of the Mountain might be changed to their heads. At this time, Cursed Crow somewhat understood why Cheese

He wanted to protect these rat-men so much. They were a brand new species with endless possibilities. And thinking that his transformation of Jerry might also be involved in the origin of this species, the conjurer suddenly felt that the rat-men did not seem so ugly.

Already.

"Be careful, we are very close." Leon signaled in sign language to the killer behind him. In front of him was a tunnel leading directly below, from which the Rotten Fireflies flew out. This message was read one after another.

The news spread throughout the team, and as the commander of this operation, the wizard quickly issued instructions to enter the room below.

The members slipped down through the holes one by one. The ground below was not very deep. Judging from the simple escalator built against the wall, the rat men also entered and exited the room in this way. If we talk about all the rat men that the previous few people had seen

If the building can barely accommodate the team, then the size of this warehouse

Small can be described as huge. In front of the entrance, the top of the room forms an arc-shaped dome, which is at least four meters high. In addition, the size of this oval room is also large enough to afford it.

The name warehouse can actually cause a slight echo when footsteps on the ground.

"Guys, I think we overlooked one thing before." Just as everyone was looking at the room, the knight at the front of the team suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about why those Rotten Fireflies left here?"
