Chapter 374 Statues
Seeing nearly a thousand mercenaries entering the dungeon one by one, York scratched his head and scratched his cheeks anxiously, fidgeting.

Although he has worked very hard to attract people, but after the Linghu Mercenary Group, no one is willing to join his team.

Obviously, they are only a small team of seven people, and they are naturally classified as the weakest level.

Unless you fight someone and win them, they are, at least on the surface, the weakest.

none of them.

Even the free mercenaries without "organization" each found their own thick thighs to hug.

Long Aotian shook his head, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry. The risk is directly proportional to the reward. Although the first person to go down can get the property first, he will also be the most attacked. Yes. Being able to get something doesn’t mean they can bring it out alive.”

He looked at the entrance of the dungeon that looked like a monster's bloody mouth, and said meaningfully: "Besides, the most important thing about exploring the ruins this time is not how much benefit you can get from it, but to save your own life. Get out safely."

After Long Aotian finished speaking, he passed Pique who was in a daze, and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.

It turned out that before they knew it, the other mercenaries had already gone down, and there were only seven people left on the surface, including the Linghu mercenary group.

The magical girl Katie didn't say a word, her face was expressionless, she just followed silently.

York and Daniel looked at each other and nodded at the same time, in a tacit understanding.From Long Aotian's words, they seem to have understood something.

Franco stepped forward and patted Pique on the shoulder. Looking at the young figure in front of him, there was a gleam in his eyes.

"Old friend, listen to him, there is nothing wrong."

The spirit fox mercenary group left one by one, and Pique finally came to his senses. While regretting that the leader of the team was not Xue Meigui, he secretly cursed in his heart: "The most important thing is to save your life? Then stay at home obediently , isn’t it the safest? Why bother to come here to explore with a large group of people and work hard!”

Pique, who fell last, had just entered the dungeon, and he was greeted by several wind blades.

bang~
Anyway, he is also a bronze fighter, and the mere wind blade was easily resisted by him.However, this unfriendly greeting revealed the hidden crisis of the ruins exploration.

Pique took a few steps and followed Franco in front.Looking around, I saw that the mercenaries who came in earlier had already seized a piece of land, searching and collecting property and treasures.

Under the leadership of Roger, the members of the Dark Alliance wandered among the various mercenary teams with a piece of paperwork, and actually took their share of the income on the spot.

Pique quickly glanced around, and hearing the surprise and excited shouts of others, he couldn't help saying: "Oh, everything has been taken away by others, isn't our trip going to be in vain?"

Franco responded in a flat voice: "This place is very big. Although there are many mercenaries, it is impossible to occupy all the places."

Pique shook his head: "They didn't occupy all the places, but the places that were vacated have no oil and water to fish for. What's the use?"

Franco just smiled lightly, ignoring his complaints.

From the beginning of this exploration of the ruins, he felt that there were many doubts.If it wasn't for Long Aotian's acquaintance with the person in charge of the Dark Alliance, Franco would have already made up his mind to quit.

But even though he came, the doubts in his heart were not completely eliminated.In addition to Long Aotian's words just now, Franco was vigilant in his heart. For this trip to the ruins, his mind of searching for treasures and property has already been diluted a lot.

The other members of the Linghu Mercenary Group obviously thought of this too.

I saw that Daniel didn't pay attention to the gains of other mercenary groups, nor did he intend to search for them.Looking at the buildings around the vast dungeon, his brows slowly wrinkled.

"What's wrong? Have you found anything?"

Franco walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

"I can't say I found it, but... do you think this dungeon feels a little weird?"

The elf archer was still frowning, his sharp eyes wandering around, as if there was an unsolvable puzzle in his heart.

Shield Warrior Ram also came over: "What's so strange?"

The thief York is restless and likes to get together the most.

"Of course it's strange. They have taken all the good things. The surrounding walls and pillars are empty. It looks eerie. Uh, it's also shabby."

Eerie?
Franco's heart has always been tightly held by a string, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind when he heard this.

"It's really weird to say that. This underground city is supposed to be a place for people to live and live. But look around here, the decoration style is gloomy and low, and the buildings don't look like living settlements."

York and the others couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the leader's words.In fact, this weird feeling can be felt when you first come in.But when I came to an unfamiliar environment, I didn't react all of a sudden.

"It seems that the information of the Dark Alliance is not very accurate." York watched Roger and others collecting protection money everywhere, and said casually.

Ram shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. They also said just now that this dungeon has three floors, and this is only the first floor. Perhaps the real residences of residents are on the lower two floors."

Looking back, he saw Elf Archer standing next to a huge pillar, thinking hard about the pattern on it, whether it was text or patterns, and couldn't help asking.

"Daniel, are these ancient texts? Can you understand them?"

Daniel said distressedly: "It should be text, it looks very familiar, as if I have seen it before. But all of a sudden, I can't remember anything."

Franco clapped his hands and called everyone together.

"Don't think about it if you don't understand it. We are not here for archaeology this time. Everyone, be careful and don't act alone. There are probably a lot of traps here. Don't leave your life here without getting good things .”

Everyone's heart trembled, and at the same time, what Long Aotian said before rang in their minds.

York looked around and asked, "By the way, where did Boss and Katie go?"

The elf archer has the best eyesight, and after a little sizing, he pointed in one direction.

"over there!"

Long Aotian stood in front of a huge statue, slightly raised his head, as if admiring something.

Katie followed him, still silent.

The more you know, the more trouble you will have.Although Katie still doesn't fully understand the context of the whole thing.But from the teacher's few words, she can probably guess that this journey of exploration seems to be carrying some heavy things.

Among them, the lives of Franco and others, whom she regards as relatives, are even more involved.

But she could only watch from the side, unable to help at all.This deep sense of powerlessness made Katie more depressed and silent.

"Boss, what are you looking at here?"

The thief York never knew what repression and silence were, and he spoke and asked whenever he wanted.

"Here?" Long Aotian turned his head and said to Franco and the others who came over, "Everyone, take a look at this statue."

To be honest, there's nothing really interesting about that statue.I don't know if it's because the statue has been weathered and decayed for too long, or because the mercenaries who came in just now destroyed it violently. This clay statue, which is higher than the city wall of the big city, has collapsed and shattered into a pile of broken mud bricks. .What is the original face, can no longer be seen.

Judging from the architectural layout of this layer of the dungeon, the statue should be an extremely important place.Not only does it occupy a vast area, but the dome is more than twice as high as other places.For a building excavated deep underground, this is a huge project.

It's a pity that thousands of years or even longer have passed, and the once glorious and eye-catching, in the eyes of today's mercenaries, this statue is just a pile of worthless mud.They were too busy enclosing territory and looting property to give a damn about this huge area.

Of course, the ideological realm of the Linghu Mercenary Group is not necessarily higher than other mercenary groups.

"It's just a broken clay statue, or rather, it's just a pile of mud. What's so good about it?"

York looked left and right, but couldn't see what was going on, so he curled his lips and spoke bluntly.

The others didn't speak, but they also acquiesced.

Long Aotian smiled slightly, there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes.

"In your eyes, this is a pile of mud. But in my opinion, these are priceless things that don't cost much money."
