    Chapter 66: Going deep into the tiger¡¯s den

    "have no idea."

    "ah?"

    Eve re-explained: "I really don't know. Let's start from the beginning. In fact, the virus you contracted this time just appeared here for a while, and many people in the guild fell. Later, not  I don¡¯t know where the news came from. There is a profession in this game called healer, which is a sub-professional of pharmacist. This profession is completely different from the previous priests. They don¡¯t know any magic and can only rely on medicine to treat others, and  They have no fighting ability and belong to non-combat profession players. It is said that players with this profession can cure this disease. After everyone heard about it, they started looking for players in this profession."

    I continued: "After you found the player of this medical profession, he told you that the formula requires the minerals here, right?"

    Eve nodded and said: "That's correct. The medical doctor did give the formula, and the things in the formula are all common. The only special thing is that a rare mineral here must be used to make the medicine."

    I asked: "Then why don't you let the healers pick it themselves? Aren't non-combat professions immortal? They don't have to worry about monsters at all!"

    Before Eve could answer, the cat meowed: "Ziri, you don't know, the rules have changed a long time ago. Non-combat professional players will be killed like us now, but the punishment for combat professional players to attack them is much more serious than killing ordinary players."  , so combat players generally dare not touch non-combat players."

    "That's only for players to kill. Don't monsters not attack non-combat players?"

    "What!" Maomao complained: "Now it can be attacked. Non-combat professions will also be attacked when encountering monsters, and they will die easily."

    "How can a non-combat professional get out of the city?"

    "Those who go out to play in the city can join a tour group, and there are system bodyguards responsible for protecting them. The security is not guaranteed depending on the price. If you join a cheap guard, you may still be killed. If you want to go out alone or experience the world of two people, you can buy it in the system store  Safety cards can only be used by non-combat professions. As long as the cover on the card is opened, monsters will not attack the person wearing the card for a certain period of time. However, depending on the price, the effective time and expulsion effect of the brand are also different. Each brand has  There are levels, and only monsters that are lower than the brand level will be expelled. Monsters that are higher than the brand level will not be affected at all. Long Yuan is really obsessed with money, and he can think of such unscrupulous ways to make money." Maomao doesn't know that I  The identity is still there complaining.

    Ah Wei saw my expression was not so good and quickly added: "Don't say that. Doesn't the system also allow combat players to form travel groups?"

    "This is true. However, many people still believe in system tour groups. After all, they are official tour groups and are more reliable."

    Ah Wei was afraid that I would get angry if Maomao said anything else, so he quickly changed the subject.  "By the way, Eve, then how did you know you were coming here to look for me? And why are there so many people when you are sick?"

    Eve explained: "Because it was inconvenient for the therapist to come by himself, we had to do it ourselves. As for the existence of this mineral here, the therapist also told us that he had been here before and knew that this thing was here, but it was a pity that he did not know it at the time.  This thing is useful so I didn¡¯t take it. As for the people here, not all the people you see are our people. There are people from three guilds here. And we are not infected with the virus, but we know that we will not be able to escape sooner or later if we continue like this, so we might as well  Let¡¯s get some back while everyone is able to move. If they fall ill, we¡¯ll be in trouble if there aren¡¯t enough people.¡±

    "You guys are really foresighted." I sighed: "Then what's going on with this guarded guild?"

    "They are from the Iron Cavalry Alliance. This city was originally theirs. It was not very popular at the beginning, but since the outbreak of the plague, it has become a golden treasure."

    Ah Wei said: "They won't occupy the mining area and sell the antidote, right? How much money will they make if so many people are infected by the virus?"

    Eve sighed: "It would be great if they were selling the ore. The medicine only needs water soaked in the ore. A little bit is enough for many people. If they were selling the ore, we would buy it directly, but these guys are too black-hearted."  Yes, they sell water directly.¡±

    "It's so damn dark!" Ah Wei couldn't help but cursed.  After all, selling ore can still be used.  Isn¡¯t it too expensive to sell water?

    Eve continued: "Actually, it's okay if they supply enough water. After all, it's not easy to fight here. We don't need to use force to seize it unless we are in a hurry. This damn virus has two major characteristics. The first is that death will not disappear, even if you  It's useless to commit suicide, you will still be infected after resurrection. The second characteristic is repeated infection. Those bastards only sell potions for 1,000 people at auction every day, and you can get the potion at a high price. But this virus can be infected repeatedly,  Is it good for you to drink the antidote???.  But after contacting another patient, he was immediately infected again.  It's impossible to cure it by passing it on like this, and their business can continue forever.  "

    Ah Wei looked at me and said, "Boss. I finally know that there are people with more evil hearts than you in the world."

    "Go. Am I black?"

    Maomao and Awei both looked at me and nodded vigorously. Even Scott and the others did the same thing.  "What I call is calculating carefully, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The task now is to deal with the black-hearted guild in front of us. Although their power is very weak in front of everyone, those monsters are difficult to deal with. By the way, Eve, you haven't said anything yet  Why don¡¯t you know what that super monster is?¡±

    Eve replied: "The reason is that we only heard the information obtained by the system intelligence station that there is a boss over level 1000 here, and this boss has many subordinates, but so far we have only seen these subordinates but never seen the boss exposed.  We guessed that this super boss would either be invisible, or he could not be seen in the team like his subordinates, or he never came out at all."

    Karaka said: "I would rather believe that it has never come out."

    "Why?"

    "It's very simple!" Karaka said: "Generally, there are two reasons why the boss doesn't show up. The first is that the boss is trapped and can't get out at all. In the past, our guild took over such a task, and the boss was the head of Colorado.  It was a war monster, but that guy was sealed and trapped in a cave. Its subordinates could come in and out freely, but it couldn't get out. We finally killed all its younger brothers before entering the cave and discovering its existence."

    "What about the second reason?"

    "It's best not to be the second reason. Because the second reason is that the enemy is too weak and the boss is too lazy to show up. If that is the case, it means that this monster is super powerful and is not afraid of us at all. But I think with the strength of President Ziri, he is because of this  The possibility that the reason won¡¯t come out is very low, and the most likely possibility is that it won¡¯t come out at all.¡±

    Maomao also said: "These little monsters are unwilling to leave the city too far, probably because they want to guard this boss. So this big boss may really be trapped."

    "But the problem now is that there are too many little monsters and we can't even get through the perimeter!"

    Maomao suddenly said: "Ziri, don't you know how to drill holes?"

    "You're the only one who knows how to drill holes! I'm not a mouse!"

    "I mean your magic pet."

    "You mean rose vine?"

    "Yes." Maomao said: "Anyway, just a little bit of that ore is enough. It would be in vain for us to rush in with thousands of troops. In my opinion, we are the only ones who dug holes underground. Anyway, we can just get a few pieces back."  That¡¯s it. The ore is not milk powder. After the stone is soaked, everyone can drink the antidote until they die.¡±

    "This is a good idea." I looked at the environment behind the city and said, "Eve, do you know the specific location?"

    "How can we know the specific situation if we have never been in there?"

    "That's going to be troublesome!" I thought for a moment and said, "Let's watch while walking. Rose Vine, come out and help dig a hole."

    The pioneer was sick, and all the work of digging holes was done by rose vines. In order to avoid being discovered, I only brought Awei, Maomao, Karaka, Eve, and my Ring Knight. Even the golems were left outside.  .  Those guys are so heavy that they walk like earthquakes, and the monsters above are sure to notice.  In order to create chaos for the enemy, I specially let two phoenixes continue to harass the enemy in the sky.

    The rose vine opened a tunnel with a diameter of 1.8 meters under the ground.  After I regained my original shape, I could just walk upright, and Maomao and Awei had no problem, but Karaka and Eve had to bow their heads a little.

    First, we advanced roughly for more than a kilometer underground and then we stopped. The rose vine stretched one of its main tentacles out of the ground, and the tip of the emerald-like spherical tentacle stretched out of the ground and looked around.  This is our periscope.  What it sees can be transmitted directly to this crystal on the trunk of the central rose vine.

    The first time I confirmed my target, I was surrounded by cow hooves.  It seems like you are still in the city.  After retracting the tentacles, we continued to dig forward for a certain distance and raised the "periscope" again, but this time there was an accident.  The rose vine's tentacles just stretched out.  There is a big eye printed on the picture here.  The rose vine actually extended its tentacles to the eyes of a rhinoceros.  The rhinoceros was startled, but it immediately reacted and started howling, but we dodge faster and recovered it immediately.  The other rhinos didn't see anything and didn't react. The rhinoceros barked for a while and stopped.

    After moving again for a while, we looked at the lower road again. This time I learned the lesson and let Rose Vine use its auxiliary tentacles to make a small hole and then retract the tentacles.  I opened the small cap on my wrist and put a crystalThe beetles come out.  The little thing climbed up to the ground along the ultra-small passage, and I could directly see what it saw.

    Several rhinos noticed a bug emerging from the ground.  But they quickly looked away, after all, such small bugs were not enough of a threat to them.  Not to mention they are rhinos, even a person would not think that the bug crawling out of the ground is a monitor.

    I saw the rhinos, but they obviously didn't want to care about my bugs. Naturally, I wasn't worried about being discovered. I controlled the crystal beetle to crawl towards the nearby building, intending to go up to a higher place to see the situation.

    "Ah!" I suddenly screamed and fell down. Ah Wei and the others quickly helped me up.

    "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Ah Wei asked nervously.

    "My crystal beetle was trampled to death by a rhinoceros, and I still maintained a spiritual connection with it. It felt as if I had been trampled to pieces!"

    "Haha!" They all laughed when they heard what I said.  ¡°You can¡¯t steal a chicken but lose a piece of rice!¡±

    "Fortunately, I have enough crystal beetles. Losing one or two is not a big deal." I took another one from my wrist and placed it at the entrance of the hole.  This time I learned the lesson.  As soon as the crystal beetle emerged from the ground, it quickly crawled towards the wall.  Quickly stick to it and climb up.  This time I finally climbed to the roof safely.  From here we can see the valley behind us, and it seems we are not far from the back of the city.  Recalling the crystal beetles, we dug forward again.

    Eve became very interested in the crystal beetle in my hand and pestered me to take it and take a look.  Although most girls don't like bugs, the crystal beetle is completely like a crystal handicraft. No one will notice that it is alive even if it doesn't move, so it will naturally not cause any disgust.

    I had no choice but to give her one so that she could see enough. Eve tossed the crystal beetles over and over for a long time and asked, "You seem to be able to control them, right?"

    "Of course. Otherwise, what's the use?"

    "Then how do you control them?"

    After I took off the helmet, I lowered my head and spread my hair to let him see the back of my neck.  Eve looked at it and asked in surprise: "Is this a female worm?"

    I put my helmet back on and said, "This is the queen bug. Their social structure is similar to that of bees, but this species reproduces parthenogenetically. There are no mating bugs such as bumblebees. There are only two categories: female bugs and fighting bugs. After the female bug dies,  The stronger ones among the fighting bugs will evolve into mother bugs and divide into multiple groups, roughly the same as a bee swarm."

    "What a magical species." Eve handed the little bug back to me and said, "Sell me a female bug?"

    "no."

    "Why?"

    "How can you sell it if you don't have it?"

    "If you kill this female worm, won't they automatically split into multiple groups? Then you can take another female worm to parasitize and sell the extra land to me." This woman thought very well.

    I explained helplessly: "First of all, don't think that anyone can be parasitized by a female worm. Not all races are suitable for parasitism. Second, the number of larvae after parasitism comes at the expense of the host's ability to recover. I am a demon pet  It doesn¡¯t matter if you are a teacher, a knight like you is not suitable for use at all, and the pain when this thing is parasitized will make people crazy. At that time, it was not allowed to go offline. Forcing to go offline will cause the parasitism to fail, which means that you have to endure the pain and wait for the parasitism to end.  . I was deceived in the first place. If given another chance, I would choose not to be a parasite. Third, and the most important point. This guy is one with me now. Even if he dies, he will not lose it unless I delete my account.  Otherwise it wouldn¡¯t have died.¡±

    "Hey! What a pity that such a beautiful insect cannot be used!"

    "These guys are not just beautiful." I turned the crystal beetle over and let it open the cover outside its mouth, and the pair of large pincers inside were immediately exposed.  "You see, the mouth of this thing is wrapped inside. If you are bitten, you will lose a piece of meat. And once a large number of crystal beetles attack a target, they can knock the target to the ground with only bones left in a few minutes. Even  No bones are left.¡±

    "Isn't that more powerful than a piranha?"

    "Piranhas are incomparable to this thing. Piranhas can only move in the water. This guy is amphibious on water, can fly short distances, has good jumping ability, and can dig holes. By the way, they eat everything. You  Even if you wear armor, they can chew the armor as well.¡±

    "Isn't it too fierce?"

    "This is my secret killing technique. How can you ensure safety if you don't be ruthless?"

    Cat reminded us: "It's almost time, right?"

    I nodded and asked the rose vine to stop for a moment, and then put a crystal beetle on it.  What this time the crystal beetle saw after going out was a large coniferous forest.  From here, it seems that there is still a lot of depth behind it.

    ?"We are under a forest, how should we go ahead?"

    Eve said: "According to the therapist's description, the ore should be in a cave deep in the forest. We should continue digging forward."

    Karaka said: "Can't we go up and walk? It's very uncomfortable to hold in here."

    Eve immediately said: "There are poisonous flies up there. Unless you want to turn into a toad, it's better to walk here honestly."

    "A toad? Will it bulge when bitten?"

    Eve said: "These poisonous flies don't bite people, they just like to lay eggs on you, and then your body temperature and blood will help the poisonous fly larvae hatch. After that, they will grow in your body by themselves, and when they grow to one centimeter long, they will  The cocoon turns into a poisonous fly and burrows out of the skin. If you think about what it looks like when your body is full of blood holes with thick water flowing out, you will know why you turned into a toad."

    "It's so disgusting!" Maomao couldn't stand it anymore.  "Let's not go up there! I would rather commit suicide if I were bitten into a toad!"

    "Isn't it okay to seal the armor?" I asked Eve.

    "Sealing is possible, but most armors are not sealed. Many knight armors can breathe underwater to a certain extent, but the body parts of the armor are usually not sealed."

    Ah Wei shouted: "Boss, we should stay below, right? Your armor is tight enough, but our order suit is not physically sealed. What if we get bitten?"

    "Don't worry, I don't plan to go up there! Even if you're not afraid of stinging me, you're still afraid of alerting the snake!"

    "I knew you weren't that kind."

    "Shhh!" I suddenly stopped their teasing.  "There is movement on the ground, please be silent. I'll see what's going on."

    The small crystal beetle crawled over along with the vibrations on the ground, and my eyes followed the crystal beetle's line of sight as it moved forward.  Through some dead leaves and fallen branches, I saw a man.

    "Eve."

    "What's up?"

    "Didn't you say that poisonous flies will lay eggs on people? How come I see a player wearing a cloth robe? Isn't this a recipe for death?"

    ¡°Does that guy have a saber symbol on his chest?¡±

    I asked the crystal beetle to crawl over and take a look.  "There is one."

    "That's right, this guy is a Hu Qi from the Iron Cavalry Alliance. They signed an agreement with the monster leader here to jointly defend this area. The monsters will not attack people in their guild."

    "How about we capture him and torture him to find out where the minerals were found?" Ah Wei asked.

    Maomao patted him: "Are you kidding? It's not a big deal if a player fails once. Only a fool would confess!"

    Karaka said: "It's better to follow him than to catch him. As long as he goes to the mineral area, we can know the specific location of the mineral area."

    Eve immediately urged me: "Follow him quickly. We will find the ore soon."

    "But this guy has been standing still. Why do you want me to follow him?"

    "Not moving? Is he waiting for someone?" Eve asked.

    "how could I know."

    Maomao said: "Maybe we are waiting for the monster boss."

    "Wait a minute, something is coming." I asked them to be quiet.

    From the perspective of the crystal beetle, you can see a big green fly flying over. This is probably a poisonous fly.  When the player saw the poisonous fly, instead of running away, he rushed towards it.  "Where's the ore today?"

    The poisonous fly released its claws, and a green stone as big as a broad bean fell into the palm of the guy's hand.  The man used his other hand to drag a small cloth bag that was only as big as a mobile phone and stretched it out.  The poisonous fly grabbed the bag and flew away buzzingly.  The player also immediately turned around and walked towards the city.  I originally wanted to track the poisonous fly, but the flying ability of the crystal beetle is very poor, and it is impossible to catch up with this specialized flying creature.

    "Did you see anything?"

    I recalled the crystal beetle and said, "The man exchanged a small bag and a poisonous fly for a green stone."

    When Eve heard about the green stone, she immediately shouted: "That stone is the material of the antidote."

    "So the people who came to the Iron Cavalry Alliance didn't really enter the valley!"

    Maomao said: "No matter what, it's true that they can get the antidote."

    I nodded.  "I remember the direction in which the poisonous fly flew just now. If we follow it, we should be able to find the monster's lair. Even if we really can't defeat it, at worst you can drag it for a while, I'll get a piece and then we'll run away. We're here to get the ore anyway.  We¡¯re not here to kill monsters.¡±

    "Then let's dig over there first!"

    Follow the poisonous fly and fly awayDigging forward in the ?? direction, I used crystal beetles to simultaneously monitor the situation on the ground.  The closer we get to the depths of the forest, the more poisonous flies there are. If we really pass through the ground, everyone except me will probably turn into toads.

    We were digging the rose vine and suddenly stopped.  "Master." The phantom sent a message: "There is a rock ahead. The rose vine cannot make holes in the entire rock."

    "Now we're in trouble. The pioneers are also sick. No one except the pioneers can dig a hole in a complete rock!" Maomao said worriedly.

    "Do you really want us to go over the ground?" Eve asked.

    Ah Wei immediately shook his head: "It will be over if you go up. I won't go up."

    Maomao also shook his head: "It's so disgusting to have maggots crawling all over your body. I won't go up there!"

    "Eve, do you have any way to repel insects?"

    ¡°There are no pesticides in the game, what can I do?¡±

    Ah Wei said jokingly: "Just order some mosquito repellent incense."

    "By the way, mosquito coils." I shouted.

    "What? Do you really have mosquito coils?" Maomao was startled.

    "I don't have mosquito coils. But bugs should be afraid of smoke. If I light up the forest above, do you think there will still be poisonous flies?"

    "Damn it! You're too generous!" Ah Wei didn't expect me to set fire to the forest.

    Maomao hurriedly said: "Burning the forest will increase the evil value!"

    Ah Wei patted my chest and said, "Is he still afraid of adding more evil points? A super famous person who has killed hundreds of thousands of people doesn't care about adding more evil points, right?"

    ¡°But there will be a fine for burning the forest!¡± Maomao continued to warn.

    Eve immediately said: "You can burn it! As long as you get the antidote, we will help you pay for the fire compensation. This valley is not very big. The compensation can't be too much. If we share it, it won't be much."

    "This is what you said." I confirmed to Eve.

    "Well, you can burn it and we'll pay for it."

    "As long as you say this, it will be all right." I patted the rose vine.  "Send me up. By the way." I turned to Ah Wei and the others and said, "You'd better leave the passage first. Once it's lit, this place will become a fire pit. If you don't want to become a beggar, it's better to go out and wait."

    "Okay." Eve immediately said, "Just light the fire. We will go out immediately. We will come back when the fire is almost done."

    "OK."

    Ah Wei and the others turned around and left the passage. The rose vine also overturned the soil above and sent me to the ground. A large number of poisonous flies immediately discovered me and pounced on me.  "Dark Magician Halo¡ªHell's Demonic Flame!"
