fragrant!

crisp!

Shadow Tail is a bit sour.

But this acid just neutralizes the greasiness of the oil.

Leos was satisfied: "I never thought that you can eat fried food in an underground maze."

After a pause, he added: "I really want Fa Lin to try it if I have the chance."

"Faline..." A trace of sadness flashed in Malusiel's eyes, but she quickly regained her energy: "There will be a chance, there will definitely be a chance!"

"Haha, you're right!" Leos chuckled and continued to bite into the fried cakes made of man-eating plants and tree juice.

Chirchak also took a bite and couldn't help but nod: "It's delicious. So the oil in the trap is so delicious."

"This is the maze. It takes people's lives all the time, but gives everything equally and tolerantly." Sensi said, putting the second ingredient into the hot oil pan.

This time, he chose air-dried slime.

Needless to say, slime, the lowest level of monsters, is actually a versatile ingredient. You can soak it in a drink to add a special texture, or fry it in a frying pan until it becomes golden and crispy.

Click click click.

They ate so much that Leos and the others kept chewing.

"Next are these." As he said that, Senxi took out the big scorpion and the mushroom monster from the bag.

There's not much to say about the mushroom monster, it tastes almost the same as a normal mushroom.

But the big scorpion...

Leos felt that this monster looked like a crab inexplicably when cooked.

Once fried, even the shell will be crispy.

Put it into your mouth with the shell and meat, it has a unique flavor.

"tasty."

“It’s so delicious.”

"Monsters and stuff, they taste so good after being fried."

Praises galore.

Everyone was satisfied with this meal

——Including the difficult Maluciel.

After eating and drinking, the group continued heading underground.

Even if you take a shortcut, you still have to walk up a lot of steps.

Malusil's physical strength was really a big problem. She leaned on her staff and couldn't help but asked Chirchak: "I said, are there no new roads around here? It's the kind that's easier to walk, no.

It’s so strenuous.”

Chilchak shrugged.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was clear: just go on honestly, there are no shortcuts.

At this time, Leos said helplessly: "Hold on, stairs are like this, they always make people feel twice as tired."

"That's true, but moderate fatigue can add deliciousness to the food." Senxi naturally added: "You will eat when you are hungry, and you will still be hungry after eating. This is the truth of life."

What the hell?

Such out-of-the-box thinking made it difficult for Malusiel to keep up.

She sighed.

Look at the top of your head, and then look at your dark body.

It takes four or five hours to walk up the stairs in the tower.

When will it end?

"Come on, Malusiel, we'll have dinner when we get to the end, okay?" Seeing that Maluciel was not in a high mood, Laos said in a coaxing tone.

Maluciel:......

Even if you eat, you still have to eat monsters.

Alas~

Why on earth did she suffer such a crime?

Nothing said.

Let’s go!

Maluciel's expression fell away little by little, and she almost turned into a slime.

Emperor Tian pays off his hard work.

They had just finished consuming the energy provided by the fried tempura, and finally reached the bottom of the tower.

Malusil leaned against the wall: "I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest."

"Then, Malusiel, you rest here." Laos smiled brightly at her.

Then he turned around and said to Chilchak: "There is no way out."

"It's really impossible to get through..." Senxi stroked his beard and knocked his fist on the solid wall tiles in front of him: "The seal is very strong. It will take a lot of effort to break it open with brute force."

Laos's brain was running rapidly and he asked: "Chilchak, there should be some secret passage near here, right?"

Chirchak looked around, and as before, he borrowed a sword from Leos and knocked on the wall again and again with his long sword.

His ears twitched slightly, and he pointed to a certain place: "There is a hidden mechanism there."

"Oh! As expected of you, Chirchak!" Laos did not hesitate to exaggerate.

Saying that, he pressed the button according to the instructions.

Wow——

The wall flips.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a spacious foyer.

There is carpet on the ground floor and there are some oil paintings around.

Further inside, there seems to be a wider space.

However, for the sake of caution, the group did not rush in rashly.

"Speaking of which, where is this place?" After resting for a while, Malusiel finally had the strength to stand up. She glanced around, frowned and said, "We haven't been here before, have we?"

"Yeah." Leos nodded: "It's true that I haven't been here...but I have some impressions about this place."

"Going through this hall can lead to the fourth floor faster. Doing the math, it really saves a lot of time." Chilchak held up a map and looked at it again and again, and said with great certainty.

Leos blinked.

Then, he discovered some clues and let out a loud cry: "Wait a minute! The decoration on my sword is missing."

decorate?

"Is it my fault?" Chirchak scratched his head: "I just lost it, right?"

Malusil said reproachfully: "Your actions are too rough. Really, you should take good care of other people's weapons."

Chirchak: "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new sword when I get back to the ground. Is that okay?"

"You are also for our team..." Laos shook his head, "And that thing could be taken down a long time ago, so I usually tie it up with rope or glue it with glue to barely extend it.

life."

Maluciel:......

Chirchak:......

Don't be so fooled by your own weapons!

Chirchak pinched his eyebrows and said, "In other words, that decoration is useless at all?"

"It's not that it's useless at all. To me, that thing is quite commemorative." Leos looked at the memory: "If you think about it, that happened three years ago. At that time

, Faline and I just came to this island, we don’t know anything, and no one is willing to form a team with us, so we can only follow the gold stripping team to the underground level to practice."

"Wait a minute." Malusil was confused: "What is the gold peeling group?"

"The Gold Stripping Group, the Gold Stripping Group is... a team that does not focus on fighting, but specializes in making money." Leos gestured repeatedly: "Compared to weapons, those people prefer to carry pickaxes and pliers with them."

Maluciel:???

Has such a strange team ever appeared in the underground maze?

Chirchak explained: "Marusil, you came to this island too late, so you may not know some things very clearly. In the past, the towers on the second underground floor were all wrapped in gold, so there was no need to

It is very profitable to fight monsters and peel off gold. The gold stripping group came into being at the right time. At that time, most people liked to participate in gold stripping activities and went deep underground to look for clues about the crazy magician. Instead, it was the aliens."

Laos nodded, his mind couldn't help but return to that time——
