Chapter 649 Frog Killer
"Okay, we're here."
Soon, the group arrived near the nearby ruins.
"There are still as many monsters on the road as before."
Aqua complained slightly.
Darkness nodded and said, “Ah, it’s no different from the last time I came to look for the magic stone.”
Magic Stone...
That was not long ago.
Aqua picked up a strange magic stone. At that time, Vanir said he wanted to buy it at a high price, so Krillin and others searched everywhere desperately.
Ran through the maze and had to fight scary monsters.
In the end it was all in vain.
Xiaolin sighed slightly and said, "At that time, I remember that Aqua found the fragments of the magic stone near here."
"Ah, come to think of it, there was such a thing, and I suffered a lot in the end..."
Aqua didn't want to think about that time either.
"Let's stop talking nonsense here."
Darkness said to the others, “Although this is a maze for beginners, our level has dropped a lot, so don’t be careless.”
“…By the way, Megumin, do you really want to follow us?”
Xiaolin looked at the great magician in the team.
When Hui Hui heard this, she immediately said indignantly: "What do you mean? Is it not possible? Are you trying to say that my presence will cause you trouble?"
"I am concerned about you!"
Xiaolin pointed his finger at her forehead and scolded: "It's quite dangerous for Huihui now to go to the dungeon."
“Don’t worry.” Huihui covered her red forehead and said, “Perhaps you have forgotten that we also acted together in a dungeon where explosion magic cannot be used. Even if the level is only one, what we have to do will not change, so please don’t worry.”
"Even if you say don't worry..."
“Well, Huihui won’t listen to anyone at this moment. I guess we can only wait and see.”
As Huihui's good friend, Youyou advised.
Xiaolin nodded after hearing this.
"I can't help it. I get it. Youyou, you should be careful too. We are all getting weaker."
"Yes, yes! Thank you for your concern!"
Youyou laughed weakly.
Huihui pouted a little unhappily.
Xiao Lin looked at them and said, "Let's go and find the entrance to the underground sewer first."
Everyone acted separately.
Just as Xiaolin was carefully looking for the entrance, Darkness suddenly called out, "Xiaolin, come over here and take a look."
Hearing the call, he walked over quickly.
Darkness pointed at a wooden door covered with weeds and said, "It's the entrance to the underground. If nothing goes wrong, it should lead to the underground sewer. But..."
"Is there anything you're concerned about?"
“…Yeah, it’s locked.”
"Locked? Let me see."
Xiaolin moved closer.
The wooden door was indeed locked, and not only that, the lock seemed quite secure.
Darkness also spoke up: “The lock itself is new. It was probably installed by someone powerful in the city for management purposes.”
“The powerful man is the uncle who looked at Darkness with lewd eyes?”
"W-What are you talking about all of a sudden!?"
Her face suddenly turned red when Xiaolin said that, but she shook her head and said, "However, I don't know if that person installed this lock. But no matter who installed the lock, if it can't be easily broken...what should I do?"
"What should we do? We can't not go in, right?"
Xiaolin spread his hands.
Think about it for a moment.
"Forget it, let's go back to the guild and ask."
The group returned to the town.
Came to the guild and mentioned this to Luna.
"The lock of the underground sewer...?"
"I was commissioned by a noble to investigate. When I tried to go in, I found the door was locked. Do you know how to open it?"
"Is that so... I'll go check it out, please wait a moment."
"Please. If we don't go into the sewer, we won't be able to find the materials to repair it."
At Xiaolin's request, Luna went to the guild to inquire, and soon came back with a key and gave it to Xiaolin.
"Oh, thanks, that's a big help."
"Because few people go in, I don't know what the situation is like in recent years. Please be careful."
"Thank you. Let's go again."
After saying goodbye to Miss Luna, the group went to the suburban ruins again, and this time they finally began to explore the underground sewers.
"Now the lock... OK, it's opened."
Xiaolin inserted the key and turned it gently to open it.
"Let's go, everyone. Don't be careless."
After greeting a few people, Xiao Lin walked into the underground sewer first.
What came into view was a rather dilapidated scene, with the bluestone steps covered in moss and the dark cave entrance emitting a slightly strange odor.
"Wow, this is really old..."
"The underground waterways are the blood vessels of the city. They have existed since the city was built, and they have been repaired and expanded along with the city."
"That's why there are materials inside that can be used to repair relics."
After hearing Darkness' explanation, Kobayashi nodded continuously.
This is also how it should be.
Hui Hui said with some resistance: “That’s true, but it’s too humid here. It’s not an environment I want to stay in for a long time.”
“Hey, Huihui, it’s too dark, be careful.”
Youyou walked carefully, and warned at the same time: "And the ground seems to be very slippery...Ahhh!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell on her back in front of everyone.
At the same time, a wave of benefits were also distributed.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..."
“Hahaha… I see, that’s how it is…”
Xiaolin touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Darkness immediately covered his eyes and scolded, "Hey Xiaolin, where were you looking at just now? Was it under Youyou's skirt?"
"Look, look, there's nothing wrong, right? It's not like I did anything!"
Kobayashi gave a guilty explanation.
But what I got in return was the looks of even more disgust from others. Damn, my image...
Darkness also said in a panic: “Okay, Aqua, you should also talk about Xiaolin! ... Aqua, what’s wrong?”
I saw that there was no stupid goddess here.
That guy was still standing at the entrance.
Xiaolin yelled at her: "Hey, Aqua, come in quickly! Otherwise we will leave you behind!"
"...No, I'm not going."
Aqua shook her head.
"Hey, what are you still saying at this point? Hurry up and leave!"
"No, it's not like that. My intuition as a goddess told me that if I continue forward, I will definitely be in trouble!"
Her story is suspicious.
Xiao Lin sighed and said, "You can't just go back like this, right? If you don't come with me, I'll be leaving you behind."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Xiaolin and the others looked at each other, then walked deeper into the sewer.
The stupid goddess panicked.
"Hey, wait, Xiaolin, are you really going to leave me like this? Even if you do that, I won't move! I say, Xiaolin? Mr. Xiaolin? ... No, don't leave me alone!"
Aqua yelled and ran after him, crying.
-
Although I have prepared for the environment here, but...
"Oh, damn! Why are there so many giant toads!"
When they were heading deeper into the underground sewer, a group of giant toads blocked their way. After seeing them, they chased after them madly, forcing them to flee in a hurry.
Aqua yelled, "Look! Didn't I tell you that this will definitely be bad luck! If you get swallowed again, it's all your fault, Xiaolin!"
"Did it drill into the underground waterway from the grassland? The humidity here is indeed very high, which may be a suitable environment for giant toads to live in."
Even at this moment, Darkness was still analyzing.
“Is it time for the explanation now?”
Kobayashi couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Okay, let's defeat them and move on! Hey, Huihui, are you listening? ...Huh? Huihui?"
He suddenly realized.
Our own great magician, that explosive little loli is missing!
Turning his head suddenly, he saw that she was being swallowed by the giant toad. At the same time, she said with a comfortable look on her face: "Hehe, it's so warm... For me who can't use explosion magic, this place is just right..."
Then, she was swallowed up again.
“Mei, Mei Hui?!”
Youyou screamed and yelled, but her level had been reduced to zero and she had no way out.
"Really? That idiot...!"
Xiao Lin was so angry that he scratched his head. He picked up the dagger given to the novice adventurer by the guild and rushed towards the giant toad.
"——Drink!"
The giant toad was killed in one go, and then the little loli was pulled out of the giant toad's mouth.
“Hey, Huihui, are you okay?!”
"Yes, yes, I've gotten used to being in a toad's mouth..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hold on to your staff! The next giant toad is coming soon!"
This guy seems to be addicted to being swallowed.
Faced with several giant toads, which were monsters that he didn't even need to look at before, they are now extremely difficult to deal with.
It's been a long time.
“Haaa, haaa… Is everyone okay…?”
Xiaolin gasped and asked about the conditions of others.
Darkness blushed and said, “I-I’m fine. It’s great to be covered in mucus… No, it’s terrible…”
"I'm fine too."
Hui Hui shook her head and said, “It’s just that Youyou was almost swallowed once.”
“Waaaaaah! That’s enough!”
Youyou burst into tears, heartbroken.
Being eaten by a giant toad and covered in smelly mucus, she is clearly an adolescent girl...it is really difficult for her to encounter such a thing.
"Damn it! Why are there so many toads? There are toads everywhere!"
Xiaolin was also a little overwhelmed.
He sighed and said, "Although it's hard to accept, let's go back and regroup! Hey, Aqua, did you hear me?"
Then, Xiaolin discovered.
The stupid goddess is gone again.
He seemed to have guessed what was going to happen, and quickly looked towards the giant toad in the distance, and then saw the stupid aqua-blue figure being swallowed up bit by bit.
“A-Aqua——?!”
Xiaolin yelled as he ran over to kill the giant toad and rescue the stupid goddess.
“Oooooh… I got swallowed again… It’s so sticky, so sticky…!”
The stupid goddess cried heartbrokenly.
Xiaolin was at a loss.
"We can't possibly be swallowed as many times as you have. We have to come up with a countermeasure... If we want to be reliable in times like this, then it's that place after all."
Looking ahead at the underground sewer.
From here on, there were toads everywhere ahead and it was impossible to move forward.
We have to go back to the city to study countermeasures.
……
The group returned to the town and came to Wiz's magic item shop.
When no one else was useful, this was the only place he could think of.
Arriving at the store, Xiaolin shouted.
“Hello, Wiz, Vanir, are you there?”
“Hahahahaha, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, adventurer!”
Vanir suddenly jumped out.
As if he saw through everything, he said, "I was expecting you to come to me when you were almost at your wits' end. Well, the bad mood of being exhausted from being involved in trouble is still as delicious as ever."
This guy is still the same...
"Is Wiz not here?"
"I'm sorry, the backyard hasn't been cleaned up yet... Mr. Vanir, please entertain me."
Wiz's voice came from behind.
Vanir shook his head and said, "That's it. The goods we just received exploded, and the junk shop owner is cleaning up. I'm here to ask you what's the matter. Having said that, I already know your purpose. You want to find a way to get rid of the giant toad in the underground sewer, right? That useless goddess occupied the bathroom to clean up the sticky stuff, and you were forced to take a bath in the yard, and then you came here alone."
"Have you seen through it to this extent?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain, and said at the same time: "Since you know everything, then the most critical countermeasure against the toad should be ready, right?"
"Well, leave it to me!"
Then I saw Vanir take out a bag of something that looked like fertilizer from his arms.
"Then what I'm going to introduce today is this! Toad Slayer! Although it's disguised as a giant toad's favorite food, it's actually a magic item product that seals the explosion magic. Toads that swallow this will explode and scatter pitifully! It's a very cost-effective product that can expel monsters without any effort!"
"Oh! With this, we can catch all the toads in the sewers!"
Xiaolin was slightly excited.
Barnier continued: "It takes a certain amount of numbers to deal with multiple objects, but it is also possible to sweep them away."
"Then I'll buy it. Please prepare some more for me."
"Thank you for your patronage! Two hundred thousand eris each!"
"Okay, two hundred thousand for one...what did you say?!"
"That is, for two hundred thousand eris, how much do you want?"
"No, let's buy something we can afford! What, two hundred thousand eris?!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain: "Besides, considering the market situation of exterminating toads, isn't this a clear deficit? Who would buy such a product?!"
"Well, you noticed this..."
Vanir sighed and said, "This would have been a good opportunity to get rid of the goods that useless shop owner brought in."
"You knew it and still wanted to sell it to me!"
"So this is it?"
He pulled out another bag.
"It's called Toad Cholera! For this, five thousand Eris will be enough."
"Don't you have it? Take it out at the beginning!"
Xiaolin couldn't stop shouting.
