Chapter 91
If you can't find it in the main hall, then go to the guest room to find it.
Along the way, Liu Ji searched one room after another. Unexpectedly, he found clues in the room where he came from.
When he came in, he was wondering why two pieces of the bed board in that room had collapsed inexplicably. At this time, he opened it for inspection and found a passage leading underground.
But the passage is very narrow, only half a meter wide. Looking at it makes people not want to get in.
Even if Liu Ji could turn into quicksand, he still wouldn't want to go in.
After all, we are human beings, so we don’t like such narrow caves too much.
In particular, Liu Ji had read a certain Ito-sensei's manga before, in which there was a cave that you could not get out of if you got into it. Ever since then, he had been a little scared about drilling holes.
"Why don't you go back first and discuss it with Ya Yin?" Liu Ji couldn't help but have this idea...
Um.
However, I feel that this kind of elf is quite dangerous. As a chanting mage, Yayin has always been very afraid of being attacked at close range, so her compatibility with this thing is quite bad.
It's okay that I didn't find this thing before, but now that I have, if Liu Ji goes back directly, he may not be able to sleep well.
"Damn it, let's dig in..." Liu Ji took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and chose to become a ball of earth element.
Although elemental beings are not completely invincible, they can freely change the size of their bodies. Liu Ji turned himself into a palm-sized villain and completely condensed his body elements. In this way, on the one hand, his hardness will reach diamond level, and on the other hand, he will become a palm-sized villain. Once I'm younger, at least it won't feel so bad when drilling holes.
He didn't want to flow in the hole like water being flushed down a drain.
After turning into a green crystal man, Liu Ji jumped into the cave.
Looking at the black passage extending deep into the ground, Liu Ji swallowed.
"Okay, let's see what's behind this damn thing..."

Yayin felt a little strange.
Although she is still setting up the magic circle behind the camp, in fact she is not completely unaware of the situation outside.
After all, Liu Ji wasn't here, and his group of potato brats had a different way of thinking than ordinary people, and coupled with the language barrier, she was afraid that these brats would cause trouble if she didn't pay attention.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, this group of bastards performed quite well. They always took full advantage of the language barrier and did not give these villagers a chance to bargain. They paid whatever they said. All the goods sold throughout the day were Sold at full price.
You know, if this is a normal situation, it is almost impossible. What those idle villagers are best at is trying to get you to lower the price.
Who knew that this group of brats wouldn't give them this chance at all? They didn't understand anyway.
So what makes Ya Yin strange is not this matter, but these villagers.
Some time ago, they obviously didn't like to buy things very much, but today they suddenly seemed to have made a fortune collectively. They were not buying clothes and fabrics, but also food and drinks. When paying, they didn't use game leather, but cash.
Yes, real "gold", gold grains the size of sesame seeds.
"It's weird, there must be a gold mine behind this place..." Yayin frowned and thought, "But if there was a gold mine, how could we be so poor? Shouldn't it have been swallowed up by the nearby lords long ago?"
Ya Yin almost subconsciously thought that there might be something wrong with those gold particles.
However, when she went to the shop and took a gold nugget to check, she didn't see any difference.
Even if the gold particles were directly melted into liquid droplets, no problem was seen.
No matter how you look at it, this is real gold.
but……
This is unreasonable...
No matter whether there is a gold mine here or not, if the gold particles flow out with the caravan, it will be enough to cause trouble here.
At least, she didn't think that the nearby lords would just sit back and ignore this matter. Most of the nobles in the world were the same. They would never leave any precious resources discovered within the "territory".
They would swarm any more precious mineral veins like sharks smelling blood, let alone gold mines...
"Something's wrong," Yayin frowned as she looked at the metal droplets floating in front of her eyes.
Gold itself is fine, then...
Or maybe they're lucky and the use of this gold nugget has never been discovered...
Or, the surrounding lords are inconvenient to come here for some reason...
However, both possibilities are too low.
"In other words, the most likely possibility," Yayin bit her nails, "isn't it possible that none of the caravan who got the gold particles left alive..."
She turned her face slightly and looked at the villagers.
The chaotic black energy in the magic power showed that the entire village was burdened with extremely heavy sins.
This is Yayin's talent, the ability provided by the half of the demon spirit blood in her body.
"Oh, that's right. This just matches their colors." The corners of Yain's mouth turned up slightly, "I want to see how long you plan to hide your sharp claws and fangs."
It just so happens that this magic circle, which completely covers and blocks the traces of transfer, and is even enough to blind the tyrant's perception, requires a large amount of human blood to be activated.
Yes, this is a forbidden spell, a standard forbidden spell.
But Yayin's teacher still taught her this forbidden spell, because the forbidden spell also depends on how it is used.
For example, in a battlefield littered with corpses, the price required for this so-called forbidden curse is nothing more than the most worthless garbage. In this case, this is a perfect means of escape without side effects.
When Yayin chose the village, she had already considered using this forbidden spell.
And this village was specially chosen by her.
In Mir City, there are also data records on whether caravans will return in the near future after going to various villages. Under normal circumstances, the probability of caravans returning to the city within a recording period should be about 50%.
This is considered a normal level. After all, larger caravans do not like to go back and forth. Whether they can return during the recording period depends entirely on how large the circle of the caravan is. Therefore, the fluctuation of this data is actually quite small. The situation in each village is similar.
However, only in this village, the return rate of caravans heading here is only 20%.
Where did the 30% of the probability of violation go...
Outside the tent, Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked outside the city.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He felt that suddenly a large number of people gathered outside the village...
One, two, three...
Two hundred and twenty-seven, two hundred and twenty-eight...
Well, a total of two hundred and forty people, all armed, seemed to be camping outside.
There seemed to be several relatively powerful individuals among them, especially one male whose fighting ability was far superior to the others.
but……
They are not all enemies of oneself, so there is nothing to fear.
Yuan withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the customer in front of him, looked at the cloth on the other person's finger, and then looked at the gold particles in the other person's hand. After a little calculation, he raised four fingers.

In the long and deep cave, the spar villain Liu Ji turned into was moving forward in the cave with a solar spell on his head.
After all, after learning from Ya Yin for so long, Liu Ji still has no problem rubbing a sun ball by himself.
It's just that this underground cave is quite long, and it extends in all directions, with forked roads winding and intersecting. The roads themselves are not straight, but have twists and turns.
As this situation continued to deepen, in fact Liu Ji no longer knew where he was.
There are no direction signs here, and the slightly curved and narrow hole will constantly distort your sense of direction. You think you are constantly ahead, but you are probably spinning in circles without realizing it.
In this case, the only feeling you can rely on is the feeling of uphill and downhill.
Therefore, Liu Ji could only keep moving along the passage leading to a lower place to ensure that he did not spin around.
Even if some roads were downhill part of the time and uphill part of the time, he couldn't tell whether he was walking up or down such a road.
It's just annoying.
God knows why there is such an intricate underground network beneath this house.
It's like an ant's nest.
But if it’s an ant nest, there should be ants, right?
There is nothing here...
Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up from the passage in front of Liu Ji. Liu Ji was so frightened that he instantly turned into quicksand, and hit the light with a quicksand thrust.
Just hearing a crisp sound, Liu Ji's world was dyed red again, and a huge amount of blood overflowed the nearby area.
"Likes and dislikes..." Liu Ji felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially when he felt that his body seemed to be absorbing the excess blood...
However, conversely, that's okay, at least this way the sticky blood will be "cleaned up" by him soon.
A few seconds later, looking at the hole stained with blood red, Liu Ji swallowed.
Fortunately, earth elementals can't smell it.
Otherwise, God knows how bad the air in this place is.
Liu Ji quickened his pace and quickly left the blood-soaked area.
He finally understood that this place was indeed an "ant nest", but it was not ants that lived there, but the elves.
Um……
It must be an elf, right?
But the burst of light just now didn't seem to come from the elf like before.
But we don't rule out the possibility that Liu Ji's perception will be biased after he becomes smaller.
"Oh no, I don't want to go in there anymore," Liu Ji murmured.
But, in order to have a good sleep at night...
"It's hard to resist," Liu Ji muttered, but continued walking deeper into the lair.
According to common sense, since he has bumped into the first light blasting insect, he is afraid that he will bump into the second one faster, and the third one...
Then, soon, Liu Ji found that he was still small.
The layout is smaller.
I don’t know whether I should say it was expected or inevitable, or I was afraid of the law. In short, it didn’t take long for Liu Ji to really encounter these light blasting insects.
It was an underground cavity.
It's not big, the cave is probably only about one meter high, but the ceiling of the cave is densely packed with light blasting insects.
It wasn't just two or three, but a large group came directly.
At that moment, Liu Ji felt his scalp was numb.
However, he couldn't allow him to think too much, as those light blasting insects were already swarming towards him.
Liu Ji didn't dare to think too much, so he returned to his quicksand state again, biting the bullet and heading towards those light blasting bugs.
The swirling quicksand is shrouded in a dazzling evil light, and bright red blood continues to splash like an endless fountain.

In the desert, Mir City.
Snap...
Missa opened his eyes. He touched his forehead and raised his hand to take a look.
Red raindrops were slowly flowing on his fingertips.
"It's raining?" He frowned and looked up at the sky.
But the sky was still clear and cloudless.
The tyrant and his people were still working on the experiment, and everything seemed to be no different from the past.
