The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 255 Found It!

The match grazed the red phosphorus on the side of the box.

laugh.

The flames ignited quickly, and when Kieran threw them into the kerosene-filled corpse pit, the small smoke immediately turned into raging flames.

The billowing thick smoke rose into the sky, as if it was a large black cloud.

Herbert and Peale whispered to the dead.

Even the big guys stood solemnly aside.

The fire burned for nearly two hours.

When the flames faded, Kieran picked up the shovel beside him.

It is not to fill the potholes, but to collect and rebury the bones that cannot be burned.

Perhaps, it is still possible to be dug out by beasts with a keen sense of smell.

But they have done their best.

Peale, the Big One, and even Herbert, the elderly man, joined in the burying, and it was not finished till dark.

"I swear I'll never eat pizza steak again!"

Sitting resting by the campfire and eating dry food, Pierre said solemnly.

"I don't think I'll want to eat ribs for a long time either!"

"Although I have never really eaten before."

Qin Ran agreed with a smile.

Of course, the second half of the sentence is said from the bottom of my heart.

As for the Caesar steak?

Qin Ran naturally has never eaten the delicious food in this dungeon world.

However, Herbert on the side explained to him.

"Pizza Steak, a steak known for its bone-in, thick juice, and meatiness, especially the bright red soup, which is even more talked about..."

"vomit!"

"Herbert, please stop affecting my appetite!"

Before the old scholar finished speaking, Peel made a look of vomiting.

Qin Ran also looked unbearable.

After all, as the old scholar narrated, he once again thought of the bones in the pit.

Qin Ran quickly shook his head and put these things out of his mind.

He didn't want to forget the beauty of food because of something like this.

Therefore, he immediately began to change the subject.

"Herbert, when shall we begin?"

he asked.

"Of course right away!"

Herbert finished the dry food in his hand in one gulp, stood up straight, picked up the kerosene lamp beside him, and walked towards the inner city where he had never set foot.

Qin Ran, Pierre, and the big guys followed closely behind.

"According to the tradition of the Nick Dynasty, nobles, knights and other dignified people usually live in the inner city, and ordinary people like businessmen, no matter how rich they are, cannot enter it!"

"In fact, the Nick Dynasty is extremely hierarchical. If a commoner wants to be promoted to the noble class, there is almost no other possibility except to get credit on the battlefield-and to get credit on the battlefield, you have to kill at least 30 people with your own hands. The enemy, and there must be a low-level officer!"

Before coming to a terrain full of caves, Herbert pointed to these caves and said.

"This should be the inner city."

"It was supposed to be located on a high ground, and they themselves have a height far higher than that of other civilian areas. As time goes by, they have already been submerged in dust and become part of the earth."

"Although I hate gold diggers for destroying ancient relics, but now I want to thank them for saving us time."

After Herbert finished speaking, he lifted the kerosene lamp, picked a hole in the ground, and walked in.

Such a choice is obviously not random.

When Qin Ran walked into the cave with a kerosene lamp, he became more and more convinced of this idea.

After going through a dusty steep slope and a narrow walkway, a large flat land appeared. There was no need to bend over, and there was no feeling of suffocation. The underground space in front of you was far more spacious and ventilated than imagined.

"This should be the residence of a nobleman!"

"The place we entered is his bedroom!"

"Come here, let's see what's in his study!"

Herbert said as he walked.

His tone was unusually firm, as if what he was seeing was not a part of the remains of an ancient city 1,500 years ago, but his own back garden.

Every part is like a treasure.

Starting from the noble mansion in front of him, Kieran followed Herbert and explored the entire ancient city of Aesop for a whole week, except for the necessary meals and rest.

Of course, the main thing is to listen to Herbert's explanation.

At most, he was observing, and he was on the lookout for danger.

I know my own affairs.

Kieran didn't know anything about the ancient city of Aesop and the Nick Dynasty. If it wasn't for Herbert's explanation, he wouldn't be able to recognize what he saw.

Because, in Kieran's eyes, everything is similar.

It's all dirt and stones.

At best, some broken utensils can be identified.

As for more?

Qin Ran was helpless.

Kieran was not upset about this.

He is well aware of his own level. If you want to be serious, even those people in the original gold digger camp are much more professional than him.

Otherwise, he would not have followed Herbert closely.

After all, the other party is the real professional.

And the ever-increasing hints of exploration completion on his retina are the best proof.

Although there is no direct +1% level when first entering the ancient city of Aesop, within this week, prompts like +0.1%+0.2% will appear from time to time as long as you follow Herbert.

Seeing that the exploration has reached 15% completion, Kieran was extremely satisfied.

Another 5% is when his main task is completed.

However, with the gradual reduction of the completion degree hints in the past two days, Qin Ran understands that if he wants to obtain a large number of completion degrees in a short period of time, he needs a big discovery instead of continuing to follow these gold diggers. 'Cave' for it.

In fact, Herbert has been doing such things.

Every time he left the 'cave' dug by the gold diggers, Herbert was recording something.

Qin Ran couldn't understand the records that were completely composed of lines and numbers.

However, Kieran knew that Herbert was confirming the possible location of the 'weapon'.

And this is not an easy task.

If it was really easy, the guardians of the ancient city or the night monsters would have already succeeded, how could it be possible to wait until they made their move?

Therefore, Qin Ran did not urge, but just waited quietly.

So is Peele.

It's just that Peel's waiting is a monster of the night.

Over the course of a week, Peale found what he thought would be useful in the gold prospector camp: quick-action guns, large quantities of bullets and swords, and... bundles and bundles of dynamite.

The original purpose of these explosives is naturally self-evident.

but now?

The same goes without saying.

...

night.

The bonfire was burning in the original inner city of Aesop's ancient city, and the big guy couldn't help stuffing dry food into his mouth.

Peel was sorting out the various weapons again.

Herbert continued to write things that only he or his students could understand by the firelight.

Qin Ran was standing in the shadows on one side of the bonfire, looking around.

It is both a normal vigil and an advance preparation.

A day earlier, he had felt prying eyes.

And, more than once.

The malice contained in it is as sharp as a sword.

"Can't wait?"

Qin Ran guessed.

The night monster was far more impatient than he imagined.

However, this is good news.

Because, only in this way can it be shown that these monsters have not really reached the point of being unscrupulous, and they also have a sense of urgency.

And where does the sense of urgency come from?

Maybe it's the guardian of Aesop's ancient city.

It may also be other hostile forces.

But no matter which one it is, it is good news for Qin Ran who is now fighting alone.

Sooner, another piece of good news came.

Herbert, who was sitting by the campfire, stood up.

His face was tired, but his eyes were extremely bright.

Unobtrusively, the old scholar gestured towards Qin Ran and Pierre.

This was an agreement after they entered the ancient city of Yisu after learning that the night monster had a perception far beyond that of ordinary people.

And this gesture has only one meaning——

found it!

The 'weapon' was found!
