Shared walked up to Tina and reached into his backpack to pull out a smoked sausage.
The sausage was carefully wrapped in oil paper and then bound with a thin hemp rope, clearly indicating that it had been carefully preserved.
He untied the hemp rope, peeled off the oil paper, revealing the dark red sausage, its surface glistening with grease, and the aroma of spices immediately filled the air.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shared handed over the sausage.
Tina didn't refuse, took it, took a bite, and ate it slowly and carefully.
The attention of everyone else in the group was drawn to the sausage.
Their backpacks only contained that kind of brownish-yellow gruel, but Shared even brought a sausage specifically for her, which shows how satisfied he was with Tina.
"Alright, let's go in." Sharred clapped his hands and turned to walk towards the city gate.
The other team members were on edge, their hands on their weapons, carefully walking through the city gate, fearing that the two skeletal giants might suddenly attack.
However, the two skeletal giants did not react at all until they had fully entered the city gate.
A dull thud came from behind, and the two giants closed the heavy city gate again, then stood motionless.
Shared thought for a moment, then turned and walked back to the door. The two skeletal giants hadn't been standing there for long before they moved again and pushed the door open once more.
"It seems there are only requirements for entering, but leaving is optional," Shared said to the group, a knowing smile on his lips.
Hearing that they could go back, the tense atmosphere in the group finally relaxed a bit.
Sharred couldn't wait to run to the inner city.
The roads paved with gray-black stone slabs crisscrossed, and statues, flower beds, and pavilions were arranged in an orderly manner. It was hard to imagine that these were the work of a monster.
The most striking feature was the skeleton soldiers moving through the inner city.
They formed neat columns and patrolled the inner city along fixed routes.
They wore uniform, decaying armor, and carried either iron swords or spears.
Their steps were perfectly synchronized, and the clicking sound of their bones rubbing together resembled a distinct drumbeat.
"There are even monsters like this... So it's not so strange that the anomalies that have appeared in the Rotten River Dungeon are like this after all," Chloe exclaimed.
The other team members were also shocked. They were used to monsters that only roared and pounced, and had never seen monsters that were so organized, disciplined, and not hostile to humans.
Instead of entering the castle, Sharred wandered around the inner city, looking around excitedly, like a child collecting seashells on the beach. The castle was the grand finale.
The others followed him listlessly, and while Sharred was drawn to a relief sculpture and squatted down to study it, the others went about their own business.
"Sir, would you like to eat something first?" Felix, who hadn't said much, asked.
Shared thought for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, and said without turning his head, "Everyone, check the supplies and see how many days the remaining food will last."
The team members took off their backpacks and began to take inventory.
The final calculation showed that the dry rations should last for 6 days. Xia Leide gave a soft "hmm" upon receiving the result and then continued studying the relief.
"Six days. Including the journey back, we'll have to stay here for at least four days."
Norn knew that Shared wouldn't let this opportunity slip by easily and would only turn back when they were out of ammunition and supplies.
Felix raised his wand, and the magic crystal at the tip of the wand glowed green.
Saplings sprouted from the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground, and then grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly becoming small trees as thick as a bowl.
Uru drew his broadsword and with a casual swing, snapped several small trees at the roots, which fell neatly to the ground.
Felix then threw another fireball, setting the pile of firewood ablaze.
The team members took out an iron pot, poured out dry rations from their backpacks, added water, and put it on the fire to cook.
Soon, a faint aroma of grains filled the air.
After the meal, the atmosphere in the team relaxed. Some people started chatting, while others found a pavilion to rest.
Mur wasn't with the others. He sat on a rock, his gaze constantly fixed on Tina.
Tina sat on the flower bed, fiddling with the blooming pink and white flowers, looking absolutely beautiful.
Mur's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
He stood up from the rock, spat on his hand, quickly combed his greasy hair, and then mustered his courage to walk towards Tina.
"Um... Miss Tina?" Mur tried his best to make his voice sound dignified, and forced what he thought was a charming smile onto his face.
Tina opened her eyes, her amber eyes looking at him calmly, without any expression.
"I am Mur, a mithril-class adventurer. Your beauty is captivating. I'd like to ask if you have any adventurer parties, if..."
Before Mur could finish speaking, Tina jumped off the flowerbed and quickly left the greasy man.
"Ahem..." Murtane coughed lightly, pretending nothing was wrong, and began to examine the soil in the flower bed.
One of the mithril-level adventurers wandered around the inner city, hoping to find something valuable in some nook or cranny.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the iron sword in the hand of a skeleton soldier.
Although the iron sword was somewhat rusty, it had strange patterns on its blade that looked like some kind of inscription.
Even old weapons engraved with inscriptions can fetch a good price. Since these skeletons won't attack you, you might as well take advantage of the situation.
He cautiously approached the skeleton soldier and gently tripped its leg.
The skeleton soldier swayed, then lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground.
He seized the opportunity to pounce on it and reach out to snatch the iron sword.
Suddenly, the adventurer froze as a rusty sword emerged from behind him, and the skeleton soldier thrust the iron sword into his body with a backhand motion.
"ah!!!"
The scream shattered the silence of the inner city, instantly alerting everyone else.
One of the team members who was closer to him quickly drew his sword and rushed towards the skeleton.
However, before he could make a move, the patrolling group of skeleton soldiers in the distance suddenly stopped and turned around in unison, their empty eye sockets simultaneously aimed at the adventurer who had drawn his sword.
clack clack-
The sound of bones grinding together was as dense as rain. The entire squad of skeleton soldiers turned at the same time, raised their weapons, and charged towards the adventurer.
Upon seeing this, Uru's eyes lit up.
He jumped to his feet, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, a wide, excited smile spreading across his face: "Finally, something to fight!"
"Don't move! Everyone stay still!" Shared shouted, grabbing Uru's arm. "Look closely, those skeletons will only attack those who draw their swords!"
Uru paused for a moment, then followed Shared's gaze.
The skeleton soldiers only chased the adventurer who drew his sword, ignoring everyone else around them.
They ran past the other team members without even glancing at them; their only target was the person trying to rescue their companion.
As a mithril-level adventurer, that person was quite strong, and he was able to barely hold his own against the siege of a group of skeletons.
But other patrolling skeleton squads rushed to his aid, and more than a dozen spears pierced through his body, lifting him up before slamming him back to the ground.
The skeletons swarmed forward, swinging their iron swords wildly, hacking the two corpses into a bloody mess.
After doing all this, the skeletons lined up again and continued their mechanical patrol.
"Looks like we'll have to stay a little longer," said Shared, looking at the backpacks the two had left behind.
