There was silence in the mine, except for the sound of sighs.

Marven's will is firm, and every time he is tested, he can get through it safely.

That's why he dared to enter the mine alone.

These giant strange faces are a kind of wild creatures - earth spirits.

Earth spirits are a relatively rare creature, and legend has it that they are formed from the souls of absentees who died in a mine.

These creatures are somewhere between spirits and real creatures, and they have a variety of strange shapes, but most of them have strange faces.

Those sighs are actually the sounds that come naturally when the earth spirits move. Every sigh carries with it a faint tread technique.

The faint-hearted will be scared away immediately.

But Marvin is clearly not that kind of person.

Ordinary earth spirits do not attack humans, they are kind.

And the earth spirit here seems to have been polluted by some kind of object, and has become irritable and irritable, and even began to attack Marven!

Marven was intrigued by the contaminated item. Contaminated items are often sorcerer-made magic items, because of the leakage of magic power, creatures with low intelligence are affected by chaotic magic and exhibit all kinds of abnormal behavior.

And in this era, the items made by wizards are very valuable.

On the other hand, where there is a large crowd of earth spirits, there must be treasures.

For treasures, Marven has always spared no effort to search!

……

What he pulled out of the Void Conch was nothing else, but a large handful of fireworks!

Earth spirits are not afraid of fire, but they are afraid of bright light!

Marven quietly took out the flint and rubbed it, and instantly lit the fireworks!

Although it is only the most humble kind, a crude firework made by rural craftsmen, the brightness that explodes at this moment can barely achieve the effect of half a flash!

The polluted earth spirits were all irritable and irritable, and under the strong light, they suddenly opened their bloody mouths and rushed to Marven!

It's just that they didn't make a sound, so they couldn't alarm the others in the camp outside the mine.

This is exactly what Marven wants.

He stuck the fireworks stick on the ground and drew his knife!

Under the interference of the bright light, the movement of the earth spirits was obviously affected.

Their eyes retracted, and their movements became very undexterous.

And Marven is waving to his heart's content!

The two whiteboard scimitars were simply playing with flowers in his hands.

His whole person was like a nimble fish shuttling back and forth among the strange faces, the scimitar rose and fell, and it didn't take long for almost twenty earth spirits to be wiped out by Marven.

The average level of the Earth Spirit is 3.But the actual combat ability is very average.

The reason why they have a higher level is because of their fear arts. Under the interference of the fear technique, it is difficult for ordinary people to swing with all their might.

Sometimes you can't control your muscles and make the most accurate attack, and often you end up with injury - or even death!

But Marven was not affected by the fear technique in the slightest.

That's a bit of a bully.

Twenty-four Earth Spirits contributed 6o9 points of killing experience to Marven, which was very generous, comparable to the zombies summoned by Hesse the Corpse Stealer.

However, Marven also knows that this method of brushing experience cannot last long, and things like earth spirits are rare.

This is the only case where level 3 creatures are farmed in groups, and there are very few other cases.

Marven was already satisfied.

……

After killing the Earth Spirit, Marven continued to move forward.

He continued along the tunnels of the mine.

Along the way, he spotted the corpses of some gnolls.

It seems that these earth spirits have really become very irritable and have actually started killing gnolls.

Those gnolls probably suffered a bit as well. They are not smart enough, and they are prone to fear magic.

In the vast cavern, they had no choice but to build their camp far away from the mine.

The mine is not deep, but there are many forks. Before the mine was abandoned, there were many miners coming and going.

At that time, the spirits were probably not completely infected, so they only harassed the miners and did not attack.

After a few months, things were different.

If it is a blind search, with the complicated process of this mine, Marven will not be able to find it even if he looks for several months.

He is skillful.

The spirits' actions are often attached to the stone walls, and the soil underneath will also have some subtle changes due to the movement of the spirits.

The rocks that were originally sturdy will become a little soft.

Marven bent all the way and walked as far as he could, as far as he could, to the soft ground.

Along the way, he killed two more batches of Earth Spirits, gained 377 points of killing experience, and finally found the source of the pollution.

……

Deep in the mine, there is an underground cavern.

There was a vine growing in the cave, and each vine had long barbs on it.

"Poisonous seeds?"

Marven looked at the vine with a solemn face.

Where did this thing come from?

This kind of poison bred from the [Poisonous Seed] is very toxic, but this thing will not affect the earth spirit.

"Am I in the wrong place?"

Marven muttered in his heart.

But since he has encountered it, Marven will not sit idly by. After all, this is his territory.

Poisonous seeds are not planted out of thin air, and if this vine is allowed to grow for a while, it may grow into a very terrifying plant-like monster.

You know, plant-based monsters, although congenitally disabled, cannot move.

But their vitality is surprisingly high, especially after advancement, and they are not so afraid of flames.

"As far as I know, there is such a thing as a poisonous seed that only a few wizards have. It is also used as an experimental product. ”

"Other than that, it's the shepherd......"

"Could it be that those evil things are also eyeing the White River Valley?"

Marven was puzzled, but he did not hesitate to put a fire in his hand.

The poisonous seed is terrifying, but it is after it grows up.

Now the small vines, not enough to be troubled.

A fire burned clean.

In fact, the poison of this vine is very powerful, and it can completely quench poison a dagger or a scimitar.

But Marven didn't have a powerful pharmacist by his side, and he didn't carry a powerful interpretation item, so if one of them was accidentally poisoned, it would be over.

After a fire, the mine was filled with gunsmoke. Marven covered his nose and leaned over.

He just swept it through it with the intention of not letting go of a possibility.

Unexpectedly, under the ashes of the poisonous ivy, he actually found a treasure chest!

And this treasure chest is still unlocked!

"It turns out that the real source of pollution is here!"

Marven suddenly realized.

There are a lot of things in the treasure chest, and the culprit is among them that caused the change in the earth spirit!

It was a poured bottle, and a strange smell wafted from it.

Marven sniffed lightly and was choked several times!

It's so strong and acidic!

It's magic acid!

Like the Poison Seed, the Demonic Acid is something that the Shepherds often carry, and they use these items to spread evil on the Fernanda 6.

The demonic acid is very easy to wield, spreading through the air, forming a gas that is enough to infect low-intelligence earth spirits.

But judging from the shape of the bottle being dumped, it doesn't seem to have been deliberately knocked over here.

Marven groaned, looked for it again by the light of the fire, and sure enough, under a pile of ashes, he found a little bone.

The bones were indistinguishable from the flames, and they looked like tall humanoids.

"Shepherd!"

"Is there really a shepherd coming to the White River Valley? How did he die here? ”

Marven's questions popped up one by one.

The poisonous seeds and demonic acid should have been accidentally made by the shepherd before he died.

This guy seems to want to put these things in a treasure chest and bury them...... But before he could finish these things, he died.

The level of this shepherd should not be very high, and he may have died of serious injuries when he was chased and killed!

The question is, how did he end up in the mines!?

This kind of question, even if Marven is experienced, he can't be sure for a while.

He tossed the corpse of the tree shepherd aside and closed the bottle in the treasure chest to prevent the demonic acid from continuing to corrupt the creatures in the cave.

In this way, those earth spirits should be back to normal.

……

There are two more things in the chest. An emerald green dagger, and a thick envelope.

Marven was attracted to the dagger at first sight!

The original owner of this dagger doesn't seem to have deliberately used the skill of [Masking], so Marven only needs a simple [Scouting] to see the attributes of the dagger.

【Emerald Dagger +1】

Quality: Shimmer
