The lamp oil exuded a pungent smell. Lin Hui poured enough amount on her body and couldn't help but sneeze. Then, the sneezing sounds came one after another.

Everyone choked on the smell of lamp oil.

Xu Erlin cursed and complained, "What a weird smell." But even he didn't dare to be perfunctory.

Everything is ready, let him lead the way.

It was very dark in the tower, pitch black. The only light source came from the open stone door, but the light seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could only illuminate areas close to the door.

A rustling sound lingered in several people's ears, and something was crawling in the darkness.

Xu Erlin, who was clearing the way in front, kicked something under his feet and quickly shouted to the people following him to stop. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and squatted down to touch it. At first, he thought it was an irregularly shaped stick wrapped in a layer of

The cloth has a smooth surface. Continue to explore upwards and feel an enlarged spherical shape.

A bone.

A human femur.

His calloused hands paused slightly and asked, "Who has lighting tools?"

"I have it," Ru Di responded quickly, took out a flashlight from his bag and handed it to Xu Erlin. He asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Erlin pointed the flashlight at the ground, "Look..."

It was a fresh white bone with no trace of minced meat attached. Even the most experienced butcher could not remove the flesh and blood fascia so cleanly while still keeping the clothing intact.

Yan Ming bent down and came closer, carefully distinguishing: "These clothes... these pants... this is Huang Yong? How, how could he only have bones left?"

Granny Jin looked around with alert eyes: "His flesh and blood must have been eaten by something."

The light of the flashlight disperses the deep darkness and shines on the curved wall.

"Why is the wall black? It's so scary..."

Ru Xiaoya grabbed her brother's hand tightly, but still felt a little scared. Xiaobu approached Lin Hui and asked, "Teacher, can I hold your hand?"

Lin Hui nodded, remembering that the children might not be able to see in the dark, and said, "Okay."

Ru Xiaoya held Lin Hui's hand and felt secure enough. Then she dropped her brother's hand and held Lin Hui's forearm with both hands.

Ru Di: "..."

Xu Erlin rubbed his eyes: "Eh? My eyes are dazzled! Why is the wall crawling?"

"Listen," Granny Jin's eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

"The rustling sounds came from all directions. The walls were not black, but black bugs were crawling all over the walls."

Before she finished speaking, an insect flapped its wings and swooped towards the light source of the flashlight.

"Buzz buzz-"

As if a switch was pressed, the silent insect swarm gathered into a black whirlwind and blew toward a few people.

Xu Erlin, who was closest to the light source, saw their appearance clearly. It was an insect with four pairs of wings. It was completely black and had a ferocious mouth. They were all over the tower. You can imagine how Huang Yong was captured within a few minutes.

Eaten until only the bones are left.

Xu Erlin subconsciously threw away the flashlight, protected his head and face, and rushed forward.

As soon as the insect swarm encountered him, they separated to both sides, making it look like he had smashed through a wall of insects.

Lin Hui was well prepared and was not frightened. She still had time to cover Ru Xiaoya's eyes. She pulled the child forward. Not far away, Xu Erlin stood in front of a gorgeous coffin. Something flashed inside.

The ground was emitting a soft white light. Just as she was about to ask, Granny Jin preemptively asked: "Is the body of the king inside? What is in his stomach?"

It seems that Huang Yong's unfinished words before his death have always been lingering doubts in everyone's mind.

Xu Erlin responded, "There is a hammer."

"……What?"

"The king's belly is transparent and glowing from within."

Xu Erlin took out the knife tied to the side of his leg, opened up the king's luxurious clothes in the coffin, and slashed the exposed belly, feeling as relaxed as cutting through tender tofu.

"Crash-"

A pool of blood flowed out of the king's stomach. Xu Erlin endured disgust and put his hand into the deflated belly, took out something, and raised it high.

"Look, the hammer."

A gleaming milky white jade hammer.

Lin Hui noticed that the insects were restless and remembered the advice of the stone python - don't stay in the tower for too long. She quickly said: "Get out first."

Several people followed her words and exited the tower.

Xu Erlin handed the hammer to Lin Hui very naturally and humbly asked for advice: "Teacher, what should I do next?"

He has always been arrogant, but if he admires someone from the bottom of his heart, he is not shy about showing humility.

Ru Di looked at Xu Erlin in surprise and murmured in a low voice: "It turns out it's not just luck that someone so stupid could grow up to be so big without being beaten to death..."

Ru Xiaoya stared at Xu Erlin with round eyes: "Who is your teacher? This is my teacher."

Xu Erlin ignored her at all, pretending he didn't hear her, and looked at Lin Hui expectantly.

Lin Hui took the hammer and put it in her cloak.

In fact, she put the hammer into the inventory slot.

"Use a hammer to smash the experience orb to clear the level - the crack will appear again."

Granny Jin asked: "Where is the experience ball? What does it look like?"

"I don't know what it looks like, maybe it's a ball, maybe it's something else."

Lin Hui thought for a moment and expressed her guess: "As long as you see it, you should be able to recognize it. As for where it is... where does the prince live?"

Granny Jin replied: "The prince's palace is in the west. He has been hunting outside during the day and is not in the palace now."

Lin Hui laughed after hearing this, "It's a good idea not to be in the palace."

Granny Jin immediately understood what she meant, "You want to search the prince's palace."

Lin Hui nodded.

"Although it is unlikely that the experience ball is in the palace, what if it is."

That would make a lot of money.

The process of finding the hammer takes a lot of risks, but I hope the road to finding the experience orbs will not be tortuous.

The rest of the people naturally had no objections.

At this time, the clouds after the heavy rain have faded to gray and black. However, the sky is gradually getting darker. If there is the sun, you can probably see the setting sun.

Dusk has arrived.

The master was away during the day, and the palace where the prince lived was not well guarded. There were only two dozing orc attendants guarding the door. They easily climbed over the wall and entered the palace.

Countless oil lamps are still lit here during the day, but they cannot illuminate the dark palace with gray tones. The furnishings in the palace are extremely luxurious, and even the steps are filled with the efforts of skilled craftsmen-complex patterns are densely covered in every corner. The thinnest and most delicate

Cloth was used to weave curtains, the reddest and most beautiful flowers were used to decorate the dining table, gold, silver and jewelry were piled randomly on the floor, and locked boxes were thrown haphazardly beside the bed.

"What does it smell like?"

Yan Ming covered his nose and couldn't help but retched.

Granny Jin carefully distinguished the smells flowing in the air, and said without changing her expression: "Strong alcohol, bacon, rancid smell, blood smell and filthy smell. Look around."

Yan Ming wondered: "Why didn't you smell it last time?"

Xu Erlin recalled for a while and said: "Indeed, it seemed that last time I only smelled the fragrance. The smell was so amazing...it made my mouth water." Even just recalling it, his stomach growled, which fully affirmed the skills of the prince chef.

.

Several people started searching the palace, and it didn't take long before the palace was turned upside down.

In the end, only the locked box remained untouched. Ru Di took out a strange-shaped key from the bag and squatted down. The lock clicked open without any resistance, completely betraying the love with the original key.

.

Granny Jin smiled and said to Ru Xiaoya: "Your brother has a lot of things in his bag."

Ru Xiaoya got excited and hid behind Lin Hui.

Lin Hui lowered her head, "What's wrong?"

Ru Xiaoya trembled slightly and said, "Teacher, I'm a little cold."

Xu Erlin said casually: "It's colder at night than during the day. I almost froze to death last night. I need to find some thick clothes to keep out the cold today..." He rubbed his strong arms with both hands, and grains floated on them.

Goosebumps.

Lin Hui felt nothing. Her eyes fell on the gray cloak. Could it be that this novice piece of equipment could also adjust the temperature?

"Zhiqua——"

Ru Di opened the box, which was filled with triangular bones. He picked up one piece and looked at it for a moment, then took out several pieces in the box and compared them one by one. Finally, there were two pieces left, put them together, and said, "These are two pieces from the same person."

A piece of lute bone."
