Noble Emblem

This large bug with a faint white fluorescent light has no eyesight to speak of, but it has an extremely exaggerated sense of smell, hearing, and the ability to feel slight vibrations. The way it is swaying left and right now is actually looking for the enemy's position. As soon as it confirms its position, it will pounce on the enemy and attack it.

Liang Lidong had dealt with this kind of thing for a few days when he was looking for Guangming Well water for Dinah. He was very familiar with its behavioral characteristics. Upon seeing this, he immediately took out a copper coin from his space backpack, put it in his hand, and Use your thumb to flick forward.

Coin bombardment!

The bronze-colored, beam-like energy attack with electric light hit the big bug swinging left and right at an extremely fast speed, tearing it into pieces in an instant... white and slurry sprayed out in a fan-shaped shape, splashing Gotta be everywhere.

Because the bombardment of the coins produced a moment of intense light, everyone's eyes except Liang Lidong were flashed. By the time Catalina and others recovered their eyesight, Liang Lidong had already walked to the dead insect and used his sword to He picked up the white fluorescent gravel and put it into his space backpack.

"The crystal cores of light-type monsters can be used as alchemy materials. We will estimate the price of these trophies after we get them back. I will get three points, and you guys will get seven points in total. Do you have any opinions?"

Catalina smiled: "Of course there is no problem."

In her opinion, it was normal for Red Priest Beta, as an employer, to take even five-fifths of the profits, not to mention three points. However, since the employer generously gave up part of the profits, she had no reason to refuse. Although the Killer Guild has recently acquired several blacksmiths and profit sharing from gold mines, if they want to carry forward the Winterwind City Killer Guild, this money alone is still not enough. The more additional profits, the better, so she can The more confident you will be in building your club into a strong one.

Therefore, she felt more and more that the Red Priest was very wise. It's very comfortable to get along with such people.

Liang Lidong didn't know what Catalina was thinking. He looked around and said, "The movement just now attracted a lot of bugs. Let's leave here and try to walk as lightly as possible. This pyramid altar is very high. We have to reduce the frequency of fighting as much as possible. Otherwise we won’t have the physical strength to reach the top.”

Everyone in the Killer Guild naturally nodded in agreement. Besides, they are originally an assassination profession, so silent action is already an instinct.

The only one among the people who didn't know how to move silently was Liang Lidong, so he used the fog-riding magic. Because bugs have no vision, the field-of-view weakening effect of the fog-riding magic has no effect, but its accompanying 'silent movement' and The effect of increasing movement speed is still a very practical ability in this environment.

Catalina has already experienced the ability of 'Riding the Mist' magic once. Therefore, she behaved normally in the thick fog, but this was the first time for the other five people to see such a strange ability. When they looked at Liang Lidong, their expressions looked strange, with a mixture of admiration and surprise.

Because the fog riding magic has the ability to detect surrounding enemies, Liang Lidong and others avoided many bugs and reached the thirteenth floor in one go, which is where they started. The bodies of the bugs are already more than one meter long, and they are even more powerful. They are also more sensitive. Even with the help of mist magic, they cannot avoid the enemy very effectively, so from this time on, they gradually fight more and more times.

But until this moment, the insects' fighting power was not too strong. Under the bombardment of Liang Lidong's coins and the attacks of everyone in the Killer Guild, every insect could cause harm to them. Along the way, Liang Lidong has picked up about thirty pieces of bright crystal cores, getting closer and closer to the upper level. The size of the crystal nucleus will also be larger.

"Why are the bugs on the upper floor more powerful? What is there on top?" Katarina walked, swinging her dagger. The dagger on it was stained with the white mucus of the bugs, which seemed quite disgusting to her.

Although Catalina is a professional, it is still the instinct of most women to hate big bugs, and she is no exception.

Now on the way, Liang Lidong did not intend to hide the purpose of his mission anymore. He said: "On the top floor of this altar, there is a well water. In fact, it is not suitable to call it well water. People just shape it according to the container in that place. , calling it the well water of light, but it is actually the tears of the goddess of light.”

Hearing this, everyone in the Killer Guild looked at Liang Lidong in surprise. After all, the name Tears of the Goddess of Light was so 'unusual', and it sounded like something excellent.

"The Tears of the Goddess of Light are very rare and very practical, but they are only for professionals of the light system, such as holy warriors or priests of the Goddess of Light." Liang Lidong said as he moved forward: "But For other people, this thing has no effect. At most, it can treat minor illnesses such as insomnia."

Catalina smiled and said, "So you plan to bring back the Guangming Well water?"

"Yes, I have a friend who is now a paladin. Does she need this?"

"She?" Catalina said with a gossipy smile: "Tina? As far as I know, there is only one female paladin in Winterwind City now, and that is Tina?"

Liang Lidong nodded and admitted generously: "Yes, it's her."

"When did you two become a couple?" Katarina and Tina have a good relationship, so she was quite curious: "I was shocked that Tina suddenly became a paladin, but I didn't expect it. You can actually go get the so-called bright well water for her sake, regardless of the danger! If I had known you were getting it for her, I wouldn't have charged you."

"One thing for another." Liang Lidong said: "Besides, the real purpose of my coming here is to collect luminous mushrooms. I am just taking advantage of the situation to help Tina collect the Guangming Well water."

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Catalina said with a clear expression: "But what does the Guangming Well water have to do with these bugs becoming more and more powerful?"

"The water of the Guangming Well is emitting fluctuations of light elements all the time. The insects on the top layer are affected by it, and the more powerful it is."

While the two were talking, they went up another level. The bugs encountered at this time are already about one and a half meters long. Their attack methods are no longer just projectile attacks and bite attacks. They can also start to use small light attack magic, such as arrows of light, which have a high rate of fire. Extremely fast magic skills.

The few people gradually began to find it difficult to deal with these bugs, and Catalina was no longer in the mood to gossip. Upon seeing this, Liang Lidong took out several magic scrolls from his space backpack and tore them open. Several faint lights of different colors enveloped them. Moreover, they suddenly felt that their fatigue was cleared, and their skills became much better.

'Giant Strength', 'Physique Enhancement', 'Light Spirit' and other auxiliary magics are blessed on them, which can not only reduce their fatigue. And it can also strengthen their own strength in a short period of time.

The reason why Liang Lidong did not use these magics at the beginning was because these magics were time-sensitive. At the lower level, the big bugs were not very strong and everyone could easily deal with them, naturally without the help of auxiliary magic. But now that everyone is beginning to feel the difficulty, naturally this is when the magic scroll comes in handy.

Because of the help of auxiliary magic, everyone's pressure was greatly reduced, and they climbed all the way to the top. At the same time, he was killing insects easily all the way. When he reached the twentieth floor, Liang Lidong suddenly said: "The luminous mushrooms I need are on this floor. Don't rush up. Come with me."

Liang Lidong took the lead and led everyone to the other direction of the other passage. There seemed to be no big insects on this floor. After walking left and right for several minutes. He suddenly dissipated the fog-driving magic and walked slowly against the wall to a stone door. He opened the door gently and threw a scroll in through the crack of the door.

Then the right side of the door crack shone with an astonishing light, and at the same time, several shrill female screams came from inside. These sounds stung the eardrums of everyone in the Killer Guild. Fortunately, the sounds disappeared after a short time. Liang Lidong opened the door and walked in, followed closely by Catalina and others.

This is a large stone room. It was very empty, except for four mummified female bodies lying on a large white stone platform in the innermost part of the stone room. And on the bodies of these four corpses, there were many shimmering mushrooms!

"Is this the Luminous Mushroom?" Catalina looked at the thing in front of her. Somewhat surprised: "It actually grows on the corpse?"

"If what I read is correct, these women are slaves who were sacrificed. Although everyone in the Zuze Kingdom worships the goddess of light, young lives being sacrificed for no reason will eventually arouse resentment. What you just heard The screams are banshees formed by these souls. Because they have been wandering in the darkness for many years, they have become completely inaccessible to light, so they can be killed with a simple flash spell."

"Glow-in-the-dark mushrooms are the dual product of light and resentment. They use corpses as soil and grind them into powder, which can be used as special magic materials."

"This is a bit disgusting." Katarina said lightly.

Liang Lidong smiled and said: "There are even more disgusting things. After you hear about it, even if you think these things are disgusting, you will eat them."

"Why?" Catalina said with a look of disbelief: "I will never eat these things. Even if I die, I won't eat them."

Liang Lidong said calmly: "Don't talk too much. The luminous mushroom is a very rare special fungus, and its growth conditions are very harsh. It inherits the dual power of light and resentment, and can be said to be a powerful spiritual power. If you eat a certain amount of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, you can strengthen your mental power and even modify your mental growth potential."

"Seriously?" Catalina looked at Liang Lidong with a bright face. The same goes for everyone else.

Liang Lidong smiled: "I will never lie."

Catalina rushed to the stone bed first, followed closely by the other five people. They grabbed a luminous mushroom, stuffed it into their mouths with their eyes closed, and swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls, not wanting to taste it at all. Normal people would not want to taste this thing. After all, it grows from corpses. For the sake of one's own strength, swallowing it is the last line. As for tasting it, that is something that a psycho would do.

Liang Lidong slowly walked to the stone bed, cut off a few bunches of luminous mushrooms with his long sword, and put them into his backpack. At this time, Catalina and others had eaten a lot of luminous mushrooms, which had begun to take effect. They covered their heads with both hands, looking in pain. Liang Lidong smiled when he saw this, and then walked to the door and stepped out of the space. He took out a handful of light crystal cores from his backpack and sprinkled them at the door.

Although there were not many big white bugs on this floor, just in case, he still did some small tricks to prevent those bugs from coming here.

The crystal nuclei of the light system were picked out from the bugs just now, and they still carry the body odor of the insects. At this time, a pile of crystal nuclei of the light system are piled at the door. Even if an insect crawls here accidentally, because of the crystal nuclei, it will Thinking that there is a similar animal resting there, it will crawl away and avoid passing by.

Liang Lidong returned to the center of the stone room. He looked at the six members of the Killer Guild holding their heads in pain, smiled, took out the pots and pans from his space backpack, and started cooking.

The venison he had not finished eating at noon was placed in his space backpack, which came in handy at this time. By the time he prepared a few meat dishes, the pain of Catalina and others was over. Each of them was wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

Catalina sniffed it and smiled bitterly: "Sir, these luminous mushrooms are indeed useful, but you didn't tell us that eating them would be so painful."

"How can there be gains without a little effort." Liang Lidong was talking as he threw out a few tents: "After eating, we all took a nap and rested. It is already late at night outside, and we must rest and recuperate. Otherwise, even if you reach the top, you will not be able to exert your full combat effectiveness when you are tired, tired and thirsty."

"But isn't this place too dangerous? We have to find a safer place."

"This is already the safest place in this altar." Liang Lidong sat on the ground, took out the chopsticks from his backpack, picked up a piece of venison and ate it: "If you are worried, you can arrange for people to take turns Alert, there is only one entrance here anyway, and you can complete the task just sitting down. But you can handle the alert task yourself. I think it is very safe here, and I will not participate in the vigil."

Catalina looked at Lidong speechless for a while, and then she said helplessly: "Okay, we will listen to you."

While Liang Lidong and his party were enjoying the delicacies, the White Bear Mercenary Group and his party also arrived at the entrance of the Altar of Light. Looking at this majestic pyramid, they couldn't help but feel how insignificant human beings are.

The mercenary leader looked at the pyramid and regretted: "I followed these enemies all the way here. I didn't encounter a single monster on the way. It's obvious that they are familiar with this place. It seems that Duke was indeed wronged. I killed the wrong person." ." (To be continued...)
