Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

"Hurry up and count the spoils. Take our group's share. Be careful of those members of the Rat Gang who might try to hide it!"

The atmosphere was like this, and because someone in the Rat Party wanted to take advantage, the conflict eventually broke out.

The members of Honan's Adventure Group have always despised the rat gang and were very harsh in their criticism.

The members of the Rat Gang feel that those who stole things were only a minority and could not represent the entire Rat Gang, so why should everyone take the blame!

Neither side was willing to compromise, and the second round of fighting broke out!

"Killing you all will give us the heads to trick the guild, saying that we have been undercover all along, just to eradicate you rats!"

......

Chu Yan and others rushed over, and when they arrived at the monster ruins, they couldn't help but twitch their lips at the situation inside.

What is going on? Why are there internal conflicts among the people?

After observing for a while, Chu Yan still couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only make a decision:

"They've almost finished fighting. Let's go in. We just need to leave one or two people from the Rat Gang and the Adventure Group alive. All the spoils will be ours!"

Soon, the moment of despair came for the Rat Gang. They had long intended to rob the Honan Adventure Group and had specially prepared a lot of weapons, traps and other props.

Now another group of people suddenly appeared!

"Oh no, Boss! The retreat route is blocked by the ice wall!"

"It's bad. I've been robbing others all my life, and now it's my turn..."

Chapter 3.5: Weirdness Under the Ruins (k)

This group of people killed each other and had no ability to resist the sudden attack from Chu Yan and his group.

The remaining members of the Rat Gang wanted to run away. As long as one of them ran away, they could still live a comfortable life in the future after the storm had passed, and the robbery would be over.

However, Chu Yan had anticipated this hidden danger long ago, and when he walked in, he asked Evelyn's mother to seal the exit, leaving absolutely no chance for escape.

"Some people are pretending to be dead on the ground..." Belsa reminded quietly. As a member of the regular army, she was very sensitive to these small details.

A person who is pretending to be dead can suddenly attack when others are passing by carelessly and tie up a hostage to help himself out of trouble.

Chu Yan noticed this only after being reminded. No wonder the Rat Party, with so many people, still did not have much advantage.

It turns out that some people, when the conflict broke out, simply pretended to be dead on the ground.

"With so many corpses, if they get smelly, it will be disgusting to move around in this ruins. Why not just cremate those who are pretending to be dead?"

Bertha smiled delicately. "It's a good thing you didn't bring the people from the church with you to act together. Otherwise, how would they look at you... If you had just used the sparks, would you not have planned to plunder the spoils from them?"

Chu Yan shook his head, thinking it through very thoroughly. He said soberly: "What good things can a small shrimp have? I don't need those little melons and dates."

After making up her mind, Belsa tied up several selected hostages and threw them aside, while Chu Yan released fire magic.

The difficult to extinguish scorching dragon flame, using the corpses as fuel, spread rapidly, and a sea of ​​fire suddenly rose.

The people pretending to be dead among the pile of corpses were dumbfounded for a moment. How could there be people who would directly cremate the battlefield?

Some people were still hesitating and secretly used magic shields to try to stop the fire from approaching them, but the dragon flames directly burned through their little tricks.

"...Hot! Help...I surrender!"

"My Lord, I give you all my things... but spare my life!"

"Help me put out the fire, there's something wrong with this flame..."

You wouldn't know until it started to burn. Once it started to burn, you would be shocked. The Rat Gang and the Honan Adventure Group had been fighting for so long, and there were more than twenty companions pretending to be dead on the ground!

They tried to cross the line of fire, but their bodies were soon burned to ashes by the flames.

The core members of the Rat Party who had been fighting till the end were dumbfounded. They almost died under the magic and swords of Honan's Adventure Group. It turned out that so many of their teammates pretended to be dead and avoided the fight!

If these guys were willing to work normally, the Rat Gang might have destroyed the Honan Adventure Group long ago and dispersed with all the treasures to the hidden corners of the Tower of Babel.

It would never have ended like this!

"Boss, save me!" A member of the Rat Gang used the corpse as a fireproof suit and rushed to the tied-up Rat Gang core members with difficulty.

"Go back!" Several leaders of the Rat Gang were so angry that their foreheads were bulging with veins. Their hands were tied up, and they worked together to kick their subordinates who were pretending to be dead back into the sea of ​​fire.

After a long time, the fire went out.

At this point, several waves of poachers had been dealt with, and the hostages left for interrogation were also safely captured.

Evelyn once again cast the magic of the Black Ice Dragonborn, freezing the mess under the ice crystal floor.

Otherwise, the stench of burning corpses filling the air would be very giving.

"I didn't expect that the thing that took the most time here was actually counting the spoils. It was like the dishes were already prepared and they were just waiting for me to eat them at the table!"

Chu Yan was delighted by this pleasure of getting something for nothing. Perhaps this was the reason why the Rat Party was able to develop.

Instead of hunting hard in the Tower of Babel and taking the risk of injury or death, it is better to sit back and wait for the right person with a cup of tea and rob him.

If you rob a pauper, you can accept it, since you didn't put in much effort anyway. But if you rob a harvest team, that's even better, since you can return with a full load and live off it for several months.

If you don't want to become a mole, it seems that only the morality in your heart can restrain and regulate yourself.

"Belsa, you continue to count the spoils. I'll go take a look at the ruins." Chu Yan waved to the officer sister with long white hair.

"Okay." Bertha nodded.

Her method of counting followed the habit she had during her military service: first classify, then inspect.

As I walked along, if I came across any treasure, I would just kick it lightly into the classification pile. It felt like I was sorting garbage.

In half an hour, she and her companions sorted the spoils into several small piles.

They are simply things used to exchange for money. Without looking closely, they are more interested in the rarer treasures.

Bertha was sensitive and disgusted with the contract of faith. She brushed her hair and picked up three broken leather scrolls from the ground.

"This relic is too rich. Could the three scrolls of faith all come from different great demons?"

Without actually using it once, the true identity of the Contract of Faith is difficult to verify, but generally speaking, a high-risk relic can produce one, which is already very good.

Xia Nuoya felt rather embarrassed in such situations. She was one of those people who didn't have much "experience". Even if a treasure was placed in front of her, she couldn't tell how good it was.

All my talents are focused on magic.

But it’s hard to tell how good the treasure is, but the monster crystal core can always be seen as something special.

456

“Many monster crystal cores were probably snatched by the mole gang… This elite crystal core must have been obtained from the ruins.

I wonder what kind of monster it is?"

Monster crystal cores are the hard currency in the material world. They can be used to create any equipment. Even some magic potions with wilder medicinal properties require specific crystal core powder.

Now, there is a new member in his team who can use monster crystal cores as bullets, so this thing can be said to have a new use.

Most of that pile of equipment was taken from the members of the Rat Gang and Honan Adventure Group, and can also be evaluated as excellent.

The few weapons and armors must have been found in the ruins.

One thing was very embarrassing. No one present had the eye to identify equipment. Without Janet, they could only roughly judge which piece of equipment had a stronger magical aura.

They are very powerful and do not need to rely on ordinary weapons, so they have little contact with equipment and the like.

But no matter what, equipment such as weapons are very expensive and can be sold at a high price no matter how you sell them.

"They say counting the spoils is the most exciting part of an adventure, but why do we feel like bumpkins who can't understand anything?"

Xia Nuoya complained like this, but I felt relieved in my heart. It turned out that no one understood the count. Then I felt relieved.

Bertha saw through it but didn't say anything, leaving some face for the knight girl. She just muttered:

“When I was following the Imperial Army, I was wondering, who left the things in the monster ruins?

These are clearly places that have never been explored, so it is impossible for them to be the remains of some lost adventurer."

As long as they didn't talk about counting the spoils, Xia Nuoya was still willing to speak more. She said:

“Instead of wondering why there are so many treasures here, it would be better to think about why there are so many architectural relics in the Tower of Babel.

You can't say that the monster suddenly got inspiration and built it out of thin air, right?"

On the other side, Chu Yan and the two mothers walked into the monster ruins.

The monster ruins handled by the Chuanda Adventure Group were basically in a mess. The large-scale magic bombardment turned the ruins into rubble and debris on the ground.

But the monster ruins here are different. Judging from the traces of battle around them, the Honan Adventure Group also used a magic bombing combat plan, but the overall ruins are well preserved, with only a few broken stones.

No matter how fiercely the adventurers fought, and how hard they used their magic and combat skills, they were not as severe as the weathering caused by time.

This is enough to show that there is some kind of magic circle contained in this relic that protects this building.

"What is this building? An altar? A garden? Or a square with some function?" Chu Yan was unable to determine its purpose.

The ruins in front of us have no buildings such as houses, but a flat and wide circular square with several stone pillars standing around it, supporting a circular high-altitude platform.

The ground of the square is paved with whole gray-white bricks, which are compact and delicate, with dark gold carvings, but they have no textual meaning, just wavy patterns.

In the center of the entire square is a strange floor tile shaped like a pool of water.

The wind created by walking can create ripples on the small puddle, but when you step on it, the soles of your shoes will not get wet, but you will step on the glass-like floor tiles.

Afaline also couldn't see any clues, and couldn't find any similarities from her own experience. She shook her head:

"There are no written symbols or sacrificial murals to explain its purpose. This place is indeed a bit strange."

Chu Yan turned to look at the purple-haired woman. She had many years of experience in mysterious activities and might know something.

Tiffany smiled gently and said, "Call me mommy and I'll tell you."

Is this a response to Chu Yan calling Evelyn "Mommy" in the corridor at the corner of the hotel?

"Tiffany Mommy..." He called out anyway, waiting for an answer.

"I don't know either~" Tiffany smiled charmingly and playfully, holding the child's face and pinching it.

"Mommy, this is not funny... You really don't know? Are you trying to keep me in suspense?" Chu Yan still had a glimmer of expectation.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know!" Tiffany was just teasing her son.

Although she and Evelyn did not see eye to eye, she would not deny her way of judging the ruins. Normally, one would infer from the style details of the building.

The square is too plain now. There are no murals or runes, not even any statues.

Ai Falin added: "It is an ordinary relic, but it is so strong. There must be a reason for it. You can try to break it and see."

Tiffany complained lightly: "The remains of those destroyed buildings are really heartbreaking."

Chu Yan thought it was worth a try. He and his group were not here to protect cultural relics. He thought about it and said:

"Then Mommy Evelyn, you can try using your innate magic and concentrate the power on one point. Try to make a small hole and keep the building intact. Let's see if anyone from the Future Academy will know about it."

Evelyn responded with a straightforward action. Her innate magic was ready. The shadow of a giant dragon that intimidated all living things emerged, and a torrent of icy water spewed out of its mouth. The torrent condensed into a small stream and hit a spot on the ground of the square.

Just feeling

457

Seeing the strength of this innate magic, the bound captives broke out in cold sweats. They were glad that they did not resist, otherwise their death would have been hasty!

This is something they cannot fight against at all!

"This building is stronger than I thought, it's incredible." Evelyn exclaimed, but her magic still successfully made a hole that penetrated dozens of meters underground.

Chu Yan walked to the head-sized hole and leaned forward to look. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything, so he threw another ball of fire down to illuminate the area.

As the flames danced and slowly fell into the depths of the hole, the surrounding environment gradually became clear. It was a huge space, and this square seemed to be just an entrance to a deeper place!

Chu Yan's face was dull, and he swallowed his saliva:
