"Woo, as an artist, it's so inelegant to be so head-hugging. This is truly an unprecedented gaffe! If I had to let my colleagues know, I wouldn't be able to meet anyone. Even at this time, Olivier still did not forget to tidy up his appearance. Out of nowhere, he pulled out a mirror and straightened the ends of his hair, "Little Lucy, isn't there anything you can do to reverse the current situation?" ”

Lu Xi subconsciously shuddered and took a step back. In line with the principle that customers are parents of food and clothing, Lu Xi could only be patient, hold back the goosebumps that spread from the depths of his soul, and said slowly: "There are several methods, it depends on how you choose the guest." ”

"Little Lucy, after these few days of fighting side by side and sharing life and death, can't you still witness my character and sincerity? Feel free to speak up and affectionately call me 'Olivier sauce'. ”

"Well, guest ......"

"Olivier sauce ~~~~"

If it weren't for the fact that half of the remuneration had not been paid, who would care about you, a blonde fool, Lu Xi forcibly suppressed a certain impulse of his own, and his facial features squeezed out a business smile with difficulty.

"Mr. Olivier, I've been doing this for a while. Honesty is the foundation of business, since I have received your honorarium, then I have the obligation to take you out safely. Although you are in great danger due to your deliberate concealment, as a five-star gold medal tour guide of Norda Tourism Development Group, you have still made the following proposals for you, you can consider it......"

"Ollie ......"

"One, as it is now, we have temporarily gotten rid of that beetle. As long as we are vigilant and carefully maneuver around the beetle in the forest terrain, we may not be able to get you out of the forest safely. ”

"So, what about the risks?" Faced with the most realistic problems, Olivier is also a little serious.

"That beetle has a sense of smell several times that of the best hounds, and it will be able to detect us once we are out of the protection of those dragon bardleen vines at the entrance of the cave. Its speed and endurance you just saw...... However, if you pray to the goddess Elune with a humble and pious heart, you may be able to escape. ”

"Well, Her Highness the Goddess has a lot of opportunities, maybe you will accidentally miss our prayers. Let's talk about the next one first. ”

"The Norda Forest is full of strange plants and phantom beasts, and I'm quite familiar with the environment here. Although you are just a mere civilian, and you don't have much combat power, you are the best at the knight martial arts of the two empires of Virginia and Auckland. If we had carefully arranged a few more traps, we might be able to kill that beetle and have a new adventure in the world...... What do you think? ”

"My main job is an artist, and my side job is a knight." Olivier looked embarrassed and said, "Well, that beetle, it should be a crypt lord, right?" ”

"That's right, the son of the King of the Rock Hidden and the Queen of the Spiders, who is skilled in the use of magic and venom, and can even create earthquakes and mudslides, and is capable of slaughtering a small town, one of the legendary high-level monsters with just the amount of flesh. You read that right, it's a Crypt Lord, and it's still alive and pink. ”

"It is said that to besiege a Crypt Lord, it will take several elite troops of hundreds of people."

"If it's not elite enough, a thousand people are useless. A year ago, three Crypt Lords wreaked havoc on the Shadow Tribe of the Dungeon. More than 2,000 drow elves died that time. ”

"I have decided, while courage is the creed of a hero, a temporary retreat is the work of a wise man! You say the next one. ”…,

"We'll walk through this cave, and we'll be quicker on our legs, and we'll only get to the outpost in Norda in a quarter of an hour, so we can call for help from them."

"I'd love to have a romantic encounter with the beauties of the Wood Elves, but if the book is right, the elves are very unfriendly to humans who enter their forbidden land without permission, right?"

"Normally, it's just an arrow, but that's before," Lu Xi said, "and I'm still more inclined to this method." You know who I am, the elves won't hurt me, and with me, there's only half a chance you'll be killed by them. Moreover, after so many years of tourism business, the wood elves are also very open, and they will not be as sensitive to tourists who trespass into the Forbidden Forest as before, and the possibility of hurting you has dropped by half. In this way, the probability of survival of all of us is 70%. In business, as long as you are 60% sure, you can invest, let alone flee? ”

"I see, do you want to leave me, a companion who has been in the same boat for a hundred and eight hours, and be saved yourself?" Olivier uttered a mournful cry that bordered on an operatic aria, "O human nature, it is so sad. Well, you can leave me behind and escape. Let me, who believes in truth, goodness and beauty, step into the abyss of decay and vanity together with that ugly spider! ”

Is it a beetle or a spider?

The full name of the blonde young man who "believes in truth, goodness and beauty" is Olivier Langheim, although he doesn't know why this guy who is dressed as an adventurer's decoration, but is obviously a noble son, wants to go to such an inexplicable place as the Red Maple Valley in the Norda Forest, but considering the generous reward, Lu Xi didn't ask much.

If it is an old fritter who has been in the mall for a long time, he will definitely think twice about this kind of pie-in-the-sky business, but it is a pity that the little otaku who gets into the eyes of money obviously does not have such careful thinking.

So, after several days of trekking, Lucy and Olivier arrived in the Red Maple Valley. Just when this blonde "performer" who has no discipline and often becomes a nymphomaniac sighs at the maple forest that has no red leaves at all, the ancient ruins in the valley that have been abandoned for thousands of years suddenly emitted a strange and dull vibration.

As the two of them watched, the granite-paved stone floor began to collapse. These boulders, which had been beaten by wind and rain for thousands of years, gradually shattered, and a huge passage appeared in the middle of the ruins. The passage was dark and deep, as if it led to a bottomless abyss.

Lu Xi and Olivier stared at each other for a long time, until the huge insect-shaped demonic beast rushed out of the passage with its teeth and claws, and the two of them reacted.

And then of course there is a miserable escape......

"I don't want this, I don't want to do that, so what do you want to do?" Lu Xi wanted to kick Olivier, but based on the business principle that the customer is God, he held back, "Are you going to talk to that Crypt Lord and see if your grace can convince him and let him let us go?" ”

At this time, the two of them had gradually walked to the other side of the cave, and Olivier was looking at the entrance of the cave, and when he heard this, he turned around and said, "I can't say, maybe the crypt lord will be a good man with great taste......"

"No matter how tasteful the Crypt Lord is, he just doesn't eat human flesh raw, but eats human flesh sashimi."

"That...... In fact, sashimi is also raw. ”

"Don't worry about the details of this puzzling style. All in all, to let him let us go, unless that crypt lord is a vegetarian. ”

It wasn't Olivier who answered Lu Xi, but a deep voice from behind the earth wall above the cave: "I'm really sorry about that." Although I have always considered myself the most tasteful Crypt Lord, I am still too reluctant to be vegetarian. ”…,

"I hate it, Brother Olivier," Lu Xiqiang said with a smile, "I've known you for so long, I didn't know you could speak ventriloquist." ”

"Talking with two voices, isn't that a shemale stunt?"

"Who do you call a shemale? Want to die once and see? ”

As soon as the words fell, the two glanced at each other, looked at each other in shock, and then felt a tightness under their feet. Lu Xi only felt a rope or something around his ankle, and then he was dragged out of the cave with a huge force. In the next second, he had been thrown heavily on the ground, and he was stumbled, and his three souls were out of his body.

"Oops, oops! It's too rough," Olivier next to him rubbed his buttocks, unable to get up for a long time, and seemed to enjoy the same treatment, "This can also be called taste." The gods of taste will cry in the clouds......"

"There would be such an unstylish god in that world!" Lu Xi looked up at the sky dizzily and said loudly.

"Perhaps there is a slight discrepancy between human beings and our understanding of taste, and I would like to bow down to express my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding caused by this...... Although I am a spider and have no waist. To Lu Xi's surprise, this crypt lord's attitude was quite kind.

As depicted in the books, the Cryptlord resembles a giant spider covered in carapace. Its carapace was turquoise, with a hint of eerie luster, bright red compound eyes and flexible tentacles on its head, eight huge legs that appeared strong and powerful, and two mantis-like bone knives protruding from its chest, which was chilling.

Lu Xi blinked slightly, and he had already obtained the information of the Crypt Lord.

Name:??. Race: Cryptlord (adult).

Comprehensive combat power: Gold ★★★, (extremely dangerous, build yì host to flee immediately)

"Dragon's beard vine should be able to mask our scent, how did you find us?" Lu Xi asked as he secretly pressed his hand to his waist.

"Don't you know?" Big spiders (or beetles?) Fluttering his tentacles triumphantly, "As a nobleman, the most tasteful way to relax is to play peek-a-boo with the maid!" ”

Although it is one of the most powerful monsters in the world, the other party is obviously a little off the line, but Olivier is bold: "You just told me about taste, you don't really mean human sashimi, right?" ”

"Of course not," the Crypt Lord's tentacles swayed a few times, and his huge compound eyes squeezed out a line, as if smiling, "Actually, I've always loved art. Like Milanero's paintings and Laurent's sculptures, even if they are fakes, I have several collections. In addition, I have the habit of listening to music before every meal, and if it is a cheerful waltz, of course, it is the best; However, the rousing symphony is also very good, and the boiling melody really makes my blood flutter...... Well, although I'm a spider and don't have blood. ”

Olivier glanced at Lu Xi proudly: "See, it's a nice guy." My teacher said: People who love art are not bad people. ”

The Crypt Lord shook his tentacles and continued, "Some time ago, I hired a troupe. The dancer's dancing is so beautiful, and the joys and sorrows in the story are so touched by her movements that I burst into tears...... Although I am a spider, there are no tears. ”

"Hehe, hehe," Lu Xiqiang laughed a few times, "You even like song and dance dramas." ”

This guy ...... Is it really the Crypt Lord?

"Of course! As a lord of taste, you must not only have perfect character and demeanor, but also have a deep artistic appreciation and sensual soul. Only in this way can we feel the beauty of the world. Then, you will find that every little thing will be full of passion and spark of life. The world is so beautiful, and life is so brilliant......"

Good wordy beetle (or spider?) ）！ …,

"When the dancer's body struggled in my mouth, when her flesh and soul flowed through me, I could even feel that the artist with the highest talent was dancing in my stomach! Although I am a spider and have no stomach. ”

What did you just say?!

"Oh, please don't be surprised. My favorite thing to enjoy before a meal is the singing, dancing and music, and the main course is these performers. Think about it, when they merge with me, my soul will be sublimated in the halls of art, my taste will coexist with elegance and classicism, my ......"

Lu Xi took out a cloth bag from his waist and threw it at the Crypt Lord, falling right into the chattering mouth.

"What did you do!" The Crypt Lord let out a far sharper and bloodthirsty roar than that of the lion and tiger, and the "taste and grace" were gone, and he raised his huge bone knife and swung it at Lu Xi, but just halfway through it, he was already rolling on the ground with his stomach in his arms.

"Let's go!" Lu Xi picked up Olivier, who was still stunned on the ground, and ran quickly towards the depths of the forest.

"What did you give it food?"

"It's just some herbs that repel insects, and I can't imagine that they are also effective for the Crypt Lord, that is, even if they are the sons of the Demon God, are they essentially worms?"

"yes, even if you look like a nobleman again, you're still some goddamn monster bug." Olivier gritted his teeth.

"It's not like you." Olivier's sinister tone, which bordered on cursing, surprised Lu Xi a little.

"Last year, Miss Vinica, a dance maestro known as 'Crystal Rose', was attacked by someone else, and the members were killed and injured, but there has been no news of her. Everyone thought that some robber wanted to extort ransom, as long as it could keep her safe, it didn't matter how much it was, but they couldn't think of ......"

Lu Xi sighed, but he really didn't know how to comfort the other party. From Olivier's grief-stricken expression, it can be seen that this guy must also be the brain-dead fan of Vinika, and Lu Xi, who is from another world, knows the infinite range of this creature.

"Let's go to the elves for help!" Olivier suddenly said, "I don't care what happens, but I'm going to make sure that damn worm doesn't come back!" Otherwise, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and art, will surely weep for it, and the person who pursues love and beauty will surely decay in the abyss of tyranny and cruelty......"

Lu Xi suddenly discovered: Worried about this blonde stupid himself, he is more like a stupid person.

At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps behind him came from far and near, and the roar of the Crypt Lord was a little more angry and hysterical.

"Anyway, let's run for our lives first, otherwise our corpses will accompany the decay of the grass and trees here!" Lu Xi pulled Olivier and walked a little faster.

O Mother of Heaven, my life is indeed a miracle of life!
