A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

The Treasure Bug Platter

"So, Zong, why are you here?" Sensi asked in a deep voice while Malushil was thinking about it.

Zong, the burly orc leader, showed extraordinary vigilance: "It has nothing to do with you,"

He asked back: "Sensi, why are you in such a place?"

Sensi didn't speak.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Laios scratched his head, as if he didn't understand the air, "So you two have known each other for a long time."

Sensi sniffed and stretched out his hand to introduce Laos and others: "This is Zong. It's an old acquaintance of mine. We met a long time ago and had several dealings."

Zong crossed his arms and looked like a stranger.

Laios said "Oh", and then there was no more.

Chirchak pursed his lips and couldn't help thinking: "Although I have long felt that it is quite strange to have acquaintances in such a place, I thought it would be goblins or kobolds at most, but I didn't expect it to be orcs."

It can only be said that interpersonal relationships are more complicated than imagined, and the fate between races is really wonderful.

At this moment, Jon said, "Mane."

Mane's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said respectfully, "I'm here, Lord Jon."

Jon: "In fact, I and these adventurers are going to go underground. If I remember correctly, your clan does not live on this floor, right?"

"To be honest, Lord Jon, a powerful monster suddenly appeared on the fifth floor where we live." Mane sighed and said truthfully, "That guy is a very rare red dragon. It suddenly appeared near our village not long ago. The village... There are some reasons why the village cannot fight temporarily, so we all ran to this floor for refuge."

"Wait a minute, a red dragon? The dragon you are talking about, it can't be!" Laos was a little stunned, and then he came to Mane excitedly: "Please, please tell me where did you see the dragon? Please tell me quickly!"

"No!" Mane's attitude towards others was much colder. He blew out two streams of white air from his nose, and said in a buzzing voice: "The location of the orc village is an important secret, I can't tell you."

"I won't do anything to your village, I just want to know the location of the red dragon." Laos still insisted.

But the more he did this, the more alert Mane became.

The green-skinned orcs behind him also became more alert and tightened their weapons.

Jon looked here and there, knowing that he couldn't continue to watch the fun, so he had to stand up and make peace: "I said, there is no conflict of interest, there is no need to make it so stiff."

Turning his head, he looked at the burly greenskin: "Mane, others don't believe it. Me, you still don't believe it? You should know that I won't attack your village. Similarly, my companions won't."

"Lord Jon..." Mane's eyes flashed with hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, he had to compromise: "Since you said so. Hey, the droopy-eyed bastard over there."

Laos: ? ? ?

The so-called droopy-eyed bastard is not talking about me, right?

Zong said with a serious expression: "Although I don't know what you want to do by asking about the red dragon, that guy is not a small character that can be easily defeated."

"My sister was eaten by the red dragon, I must go to save her." Facing the eyes of the orcs, Laos's tone was solemn.

"Sister..."

I don't know what he thought of, and Zong's expression eased slightly.

"In that case, then listen carefully, our village is near XXX. Go down the stairs on the fifth floor and go all the way west, it's easy to find."

The burly greenskin said the location of the village and took away everything looted from the tavern.

Survival and life.

Eating and being eaten.

This is the law of the maze.

No one has it easy...

Looking at the backs of the orcs, Laos couldn't help but clench his fists: "There is no time to waste, let's go now!"

"Wait a minute." Chirchak said, "Is it really okay to just leave these people's bodies here?"

"But before that, they are going to attack us." Laos scratched his head.

Although he is a bit stupid, he still has a clear position. Without special circumstances, he would not attack other adventurers, but he would not hold back if he was attacked by others.

There were various accidents, which led to the orcs killing all the bad guys in the tavern. Not only did Laos not feel sorry, but he felt that he had really helped a lot.

Chilchak: "No, no, no, you must have misunderstood something. What I mean is that the orcs took away the food here. But they didn't touch the money and other things."

Be considerate, his occupational disease has come back.

There is no treasure chest to open, but it is also okay to touch the corpse.

Laos blinked and suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is what you are talking about."

He spread his hands: "I don't think it matters, but it's too troublesome to collect it bit by bit, and we have limited time..."

"Indeed, we must rescue Falin quickly. I just think the opportunity is rare." Chilchak sighed.

Having said that, he still got a lot of unexpected money from the tavern owner.

Now, the halfling locksmith's heart is finally balanced.

Continue going down——

When they reached the staircase leading to the fourth floor of the maze, they unexpectedly encountered a team that had been wiped out.

"What happened? We seem to have a special affinity with corpses today." Chirchak raised an eyebrow.

Then he discovered that there were many gold coins scattered around this group of adventurers, and they looked like they were "unevenly divided, fought, and then died together."

"It seems that the group was wiped out on the way back. How pitiful." A trace of pity flashed in Malusil's eyes.

Leos looked around, "There are no traces of monster activity, and judging from their bodies, there are no obvious injuries. Were they attacked by ghosts or something like that?"

Sensi said blankly: "It's also possible that he didn't eat well and starved to death."

"How can there be such a weird reason for death?" Chirchak slapped his forehead: "If it doesn't work, can't we still eat monsters?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions.

Maluciel's eyes were full of confusion, while Laos, Sensi and Jon had happy expressions on their faces.

"Very good, Qilchuk, your thoughts have been sublimated at this moment." Jon gave a thumbs up to Qilchuk, "That's it, you have embarked on the path of the eater."

What the hell is the ‘Way of the Eater Demon’?

Chirchak's head was full of black lines.

Malusil pinched her eyebrows and said: "Okay, okay, let's get back to the subject - although the corpse collection team will come soon, the situation on the third underground floor is special after all. If we leave it alone, they will soon transform into corpses. Become the undead we saw before."

"Then there's no other way, Malusiel, do you know how to pray?" Laos asked.

"If you chant slowly, it should be fine..." Malusiel was a little unsure.

But for the sake of face, she decided to try her best.

In full view of everyone, Malusiel took out a book from her luggage and said, "Wait for me, don't be in a hurry."

While Malusil was casting a prayer spell, Chirchak squatted down curiously and carefully observed the gold coins scattered around.

Suddenly, Laos's scabbard moved.

The slight sound did not escape Chirchak's ears. The halfling lockpicker turned his head sharply, "Leos, what was that noise just now?"

"Nothing, nothing, I accidentally touched the decoration on the scabbard." Laos deliberately pretended to be stupid.

However, because he is usually a bit out of line, now that he is acting like this, he appears to be acting like his true self.

Chirchak looked suspiciously.

After such an interruption, he actually discovered some strange things, such as the patterns of these gold coins being completely inconsistent.

"You can't go wrong, this is a treasure bug." Chirchak took a few steps back calmly.

Then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted to Malusil: "Hey, get away from those corpses!"

Maluciel couldn't react at the moment.

At this time, the pearl necklace wrapped around a certain corpse suddenly cracked, and thin legs grew out of the gaps between the pearls. The first pearl even revealed its sharp mouthparts.

Maluciel:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

In an instant, a strong light illuminated the entire corridor.

I do not know how long it has been.

The light finally disappeared.

Senxi and others were so shaken that they couldn't open their eyes.

Only Jon was prepared in advance. He secretly took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on at some point: "Tianjin Fan, it's a hundred years too early for you to sneak attack me with Sun Fist."

Maluciel:? ? ?

What kind of dish is that? It sounds so strange.

"What a terrifying magic rampage..."

"She is indeed a talented girl from the magic school."

Leos and Chilchak gradually calmed down and rubbed their eyes.

Malusil was covered in cold sweat, holding the staff and breathing heavily.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." She said with a pale face, as if a drowning person had regained the right to breathe.

"Review based on the situation at the scene." Leos, who had regained his sight, picked up the treasure bug that was stunned by the strong light, and murmured to himself: "So it turns out that the true identity of these monsters was not discovered, so... Speaking of which, we rarely see treasure bugs recently."

At the same time, he thought to himself: "Did that mollusk react to the treasure bug? They are both mimicking monsters, so there seems to be some competition."

While thinking wildly, Senxi, who would never let go of any ingredients, had already begun to pick and choose.

He moved skillfully, placing the treasure bugs and ordinary treasures on the left and right sides respectively, like a silent and efficient machine.

Malusil's face was still pale, "No way, Sensi, you don't want to..."

"You can eat the one on the left, but you can't eat the one on the right." Senxi said with a normal expression.

Duck!

Duck!

Duck!

Eat insects or something, duck!

"Ah, Malusiel is having trouble again."

"Things of the level of treasure bugs should be easy to accept after experiencing the iron-clad rat film."

Laos and Chilchak exchanged words with each other, almost breaking Malusiel's guard.

Malusil, who is naturally afraid of insects, kept shouting: "Duck!"

Leos looked forward to it: "Treasure bugs can also be eaten. By the way, is this delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious." Sensi nodded affirmatively, "Treasure bugs are a rare and precious ingredient in the maze."

Then he looked at Jon, "Am I right?"

Before Jon could answer, Malusiel showed an incredulous look: "Isn't that right? You even eat bugs? Hey, Qiao Qiao, answer me."

"The protein content of a monster like a treasure worm is even higher than that of ordinary beef," said Joegris lightly.

Senxi echoed, "That's right, the worm is rich in nutrition and is an excellent ingredient. It tastes and smells great! And the appearance is also pleasing to the eye."

"You are only talking about the front of the treasure worm, right? Have you seen the back? I can see it clearly now." Chirchak pulled the corner of his mouth.

"That's not important!" Senxi stared with round eyes: "It doesn't matter at all! It's delicious!"

Laios rubbed his hands: "Then Senxi, where is the edible and inedible part of the treasure worm, how to judge it?"

Senxi: "Analyze the specific situation, for example, the edible and inedible parts of this necklace worm are very clear at a glance. And these worms that look like brooches or coins on my hand, you have to look at the position of the head and claws. By the way, the patterns of male and female coin worms are different. The male will be printed with a human head, and the female will be a flying lion. "

"I don't want to know that kind of boring knowledge..." Maruxier frowned.

Senxi ignored Maruxier and continued, "... and like this."

He picked up another ring, "This kind of ring worm, the ring part is elastic, which is its abdomen, and the jewelry decoration is the head."

Laos looked like he had learned something.

Finally, Senxi took out a pot from his luggage. "Let's eat these treasure worms as soon as possible before they react."

"Duck! "Malushil kept talking about eating bugs.

Unfortunately, no one respected her opinion.

This happened more than once or twice. Those who were the most opposed verbally would eat more happily than anyone else.

Elf, you are so arrogant.

Senxi started to deal with the treasure bugs by himself.

Pull out the extra tentacles and claws.

Chirchak and Laos made a fire and set up the pot.

Either roast, fry or stir-fry.

"The treasure bugs are delicious. Just add a little salt and it's ready to serve. Of course, for a more beautiful appearance, try to put the camouflage side up." Senxi said, turning the treasure bugs over with chopsticks to reveal the golden shell.

"In such a strange place, he really has a different kind of persistence. "Chirchak complained to Laos quietly.

Senxi pretended not to hear and started to deal with the only crown-shaped treasure worm.

"The crown is the body, and the jewels on it are the larvae and eggs. Crush these things, put them in a pot over high heat to collect the juice, and put them in a bottle, and it will be the rare treasure worm jam!"

"There is no fruit in your jam!" Malushiel hugged his arms, his brows almost twisted into a knot, "It's just insect jam at best!"
