The cooling speed of the cold iron is not slow, but after entering the crypt for about ten minutes, the burning feeling on the chest becomes a warm feeling. It''s just that it''s difficult to remove it before it''s completely cold. Because there is no connection with the wizard''s vision, the webworm can only walk carefully at the end of the line, following bakm. This is not a good position. The people who walk at the end of the line are often the first choice of sneakers. Since there are no companions behind them, it is often difficult to find them even if they are missing.


    However, some unexpected is that there are some natural light sources in these channels. It was a fluorescent fly flying around the team. At first Lyon thought it was the son of green, but after a few seconds of careful observation, the knight realized that they were some insects with hollow tubes and dim light.


    "Rotten fireflies." The curse crow reached out and seized one of them, crushed it cruelly at the fingertips, and said faintly.


    Lyon and buckram, who grew up in the north, did not know about this creature, but the well-known killers and mercenaries, as well as Qili, who came from the southern city, were no stranger to the rotting fireflies. The larvae of these insects are stored in rotting food, and now these are their adults in the air. This is an extremely short-lived creature. Once it spreads its wings, it will not be long before it dies. The folk saying is that these little guys are spirits born out of the grain that has never been properly kept, and will dissipate in the sunshine. And the wizard who is good at biological structure knows that the life span of rotting fireflies is extremely short because they have no other organs except simple reproductive system after they become adults. They starve to death when they are exhausted and unable to replenish.


    "Why are you here? Isn''t the rat man a vegetarian The maid said with some doubts that although these little guys did solve many problems for her, she was afraid that the team had fallen into the other party''s surveillance because of kuira''s control of insects.


    The wizard waved his hand gently, indicating that the people should not worry. "Cheese once said that the rat people here are different. Maybe they collected food when they tried to change the diet. Don''t worry, these rotten fireflies are too fragile to carry any magic. They are the living dead who are doomed to die. " The curse crow shook his hand and let the insect debris fall from his fingertips. Then he said silently with his mouth, "who is not?"


    The number of rotting fireflies gradually increases with the deepening. They seem to come from the same direction. After a simple discussion, several people decided to search for the birthplace of the rotting fireflies. It should be the Valley City rat man''s granary or other facilities, which should not be too far away from the main body. On the way, they inevitably passed the unmanned outpost, but there was no sign of insect activity in the building compared with the one where Lyon and buckram met the giant ants. They even found some food in the outpost that they didn''t have time to eat.


    "From the bite marks, it''s rat man, but..." The blood lion picked up a piece of food similar to dry food on the earth platform. It was dark green with a little fluorescence. It was far away from the food in the eyes of ordinary people. But there were teeth marks on it. There were leaves instead of plates on the earth platform.


    Qili took the unknown object from the knight''s hand. She blinked, and then she took a small bite from the other direction! Others noticed her behavior with varying degrees of surprise, only the curse crow impatiently snatched it over, pinched it with her nails, crushed it and put it under its nose to smell. "The powder of a variety of mushrooms and some moss are generally harmless to human body. Of course, we don''t rule out the taste damage caused by taste


    While the wizard was analyzing the ingredients of the rat man dry food, the impudent witch had already held the corner of the wall and vomited. "It tastes like horse manure with salt." Qili said, wrapping it with leaves and carefully hanging it on her belt, "you must let Peggy taste it." It seems that if she can get out of here, poor peg will be bullied again. Fortunately, no one in the team paid attention to this episode. Even after Qili''s farce, their nervous tension was slightly relaxed.


    "When you have a rest, go ahead. The number of rotten fireflies is much less. I''m afraid I''ll get lost in the tunnel The mob, with his arms in his arms, leaned at the exit of the outpost. He looked at the road leading to the deeper, and there were three branches. Fortunately, the rotting fireflies have become reliable beacons. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to figure out these channels. At this time, however, the number of rotting fireflies has been decreasing. Since he does not know how many such crossroads the road ahead will pass, he proposes to step up his pace.


    The passage through the post is much wider than before. Although rat people can walk on four legs, it can be seen from this that they are still used to walking like human beings. The width of the three channels is enough for adults to pass through. Seeing this, the mantra crow also put away the metal ball from the deep heart. There is no need to widen the passageway here. Moreover, the deeper the earth is, the more compact the structures built by the rat people will be. Rashly using the power of moving the earth may cause the collapse of other spaces and cause unnecessary trouble.


    Lyon in the dark vision after the first to walk in the front of the team, Moby with him to maintain a few steps away from the second place. The reason to set aside a distance is to prevent the blood lion from falling into any trap with the people behind him. At the same time, it also provides space for Lyon to deal with the enemy. Moreover, such a few steps of distance for Carus is the same as does not exist, does not affect the speed of his support for Lyon."It''s a wonderful structure. We''ve been so deep underground that we don''t have a breath problem. How do these rat people do it The curse crow breathes the air in the passage, which is mixed with some smell of soil, but it does not prevent it from bringing vitality. Such a magical underground building design, not to mention ordinary human beings, even dwarfs or witches can not guarantee that it can be built. As you know, up to now, the magicians have not seen the facilities or channels specially used for air exchange. Rat people almost solved the most troublesome problem of underground buildings by virtue of their talent.


    This makes the grey wizard can not help thinking that if such a race can slowly increase in the number of ethnic groups, then over time, the title of the son of the mountains may change to their heads. At this time, the curse crow understood why cheese wanted to protect these rat people. They were a new species with endless possibilities. Thinking that his transformation of Jerry might have been involved in the origin of the species, the magician suddenly felt that the rat man was not so ugly.


    "Be careful. We''re close." Lyon signs to the killer behind him. In front of him is a tunnel leading to the lower part, from which the rotten fireflies fly out. The message was passed on to the team one by one, and as the commander of the operation, the wizard quickly gave instructions to enter the room below.


    Members slide through the hole one by one, and the ground below is not very deep. Judging from the simple escalator built close to the wall, rat people also enter and leave the room in this way. If all the rat man buildings seen by a few people can barely accommodate small teams, then the size of this warehouse 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 oval room is big enough to bear the name of a warehouse, and the footsteps on the ground can cause a slight echo.


    "Guys, I think we missed one thing." Just as the crowd looked at the room, the knight at the front of the line suddenly said, "have you ever thought about why those rotten fireflies want to leave here?"
