Kino's suggestion made some sense. After all, the two of them had been wandering around the ancient ruins for a while. Except for the living areas of the residents, they did not find any special landmarks such as the Zoroastrian temple.
In some ancient cities, especially those with a strong religious atmosphere, people like to build temples in the center of the city.
The building stones must be the best and strongest, and Saluba will choose it as the mother queen's lair.
The behavior of this group of monsters is similar to ants, and the place where they gather to transport supplies is most likely the Queen Mother.
After thinking for a moment, Adolf decided to follow them to explore deeper.
The two followed Saluba's formation along the cliff above, being careful not to attract their attention.
After trudging through the steep terrain, queues from all directions converged on a depression.
There is a huge drop there and there is a huge space, but there is no landslide because there are rows of huge stone pillars supporting the stone wall above.
When Adolf saw the scene below, he could no longer contain his excitement.
Saluba does not have the ability to build pillars by himself. This area should be the center of the ancient city. Those stone pillars are actually the support structure of the Zoroastrian temple.
The stalactites and luminous moss that grew over the years provided a lot of lighting for the two of them.
Adolf saw a squirming walnut-like monster in the center of the bottom of the depression.
It itself is also emitting a light green shimmer, and its skin secretes a sticky sol, wrapping around it like a spider web.
Saluba piled the various foods collected around the "walnut". Several winding tentacles protruded from the walnut, wrapped around the carrion, and secreted digestive liquid from the mouthparts at the top, directly
Food is digested outside the body and finally absorbed into the body.
Kino suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh~! It's incredible. It's the first time in my life that I've seen Saluba's empress. I have to say...it's so ugly that it makes me sick to my stomach."
Adolf snorted disdainfully, then lit a lighting rod and threw it down from a high place.
During this brief period of illumination, he observed the environment in front of him from top to bottom and saw nothing else that interested him.
But just a second before the lighting rod went out, he suddenly froze, staring intently at the huge monster that looked like a "walnut" but was actually the brain of the Queen Mother.
Yes, the creature that looks like a walnut is actually the brain of the Queen Mother. There are some textures on the surface that Adolf is extremely concerned about.
The texture pattern is shaped like two surrounding lines, which together form an ellipse. The ends of the two lines point in different directions. They are sharp and sharp. Compared with other twisted brain textures around it, they appear particularly prominent.
That is the symbol of "two directions", whether it is a Zoroastrian temple or a sex card, it is the symbol!
There is actually a two-dimensional symbol printed on Queen Saluba's head?
Adolf's expression suddenly changed and he was extremely shocked.
But before he could finish it, in the next second, he suddenly saw that the Queen Mother's brain was split from the two-way symbol!
It's like a walnut cut in the middle, half on one side.
Suddenly, a green flame emerged from the incision, and the fire flickered in the temple, illuminating the immediate surroundings.
It turns out that the reason why the Queen Mother's brain glows is actually because of the green flame in her brain!
The moment he saw the fire, Adolf immediately stood up and said to Kino with determination: "I want to get that thing!"
Kino was stunned for a moment and looked at the other person stupidly, with an expression that seemed to say: Are you fucking kidding me?
Adolf caught him and said, "We have to make a plan to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Kino broke out in a cold sweat: "Wait a minute, these are all Saluba. You are committing suicide by approaching the Queen Mother rashly."
Adolf leaned against the rock wall and looked at the various terrains, and kept saying: "That's why we need a detailed plan."
Kino looked horrified and seemed to want to run away, but was held back by Adolf.
"You have to help me!"
"This task is too difficult, I don't want to die yet..."
"Ghouls don't die that easily. I'm not even afraid of you, but you're still afraid?"
"What good does this do to me? I have already repaid your favor..."
Upon hearing this, Adolf suddenly took out a bundle of explosives from his backpack.
"If you can help me this time, I owe you a favor, but if you run away now, don't blame me..."
Kino stared at the bundle of explosives with wide eyes, and immediately yelled: "Madman! You are a fucking madman!"
"There is always something that can drive people crazy, and you know that feeling better than I do!"
Adolf put down the explosives and took out the wrapped hemp rope from the bag.
Kino sighed helplessly: "What do you want to do?"
Adolf said quickly: "Let's wait and see when the queen of Saluba will open her mind. Then, I need the rotten venison in your bag."
Upon hearing this, Kino immediately held his backpack: "What are you going to do?"
Adolf didn't answer for now, but took out a lot of plants and materials in small bottles from his backpack.
"The secret potion of withering, a potion used by the Valentan people to attract scavengers, I need your venison to prepare it. There is no pork or human flesh here, otherwise the effect will be better."
Kino seemed to recall an embarrassing past, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.
"Wait a minute, I'm afraid this thing you made will also be intolerable to me..."
Adolf nodded and then grinned at him.
This guy rarely smiles at people.
"I just want you to run around with this piece of venison sprinkled with magic potion in your mouth, and then attract all the big spiders in the ground!"
Kino was shocked when he heard this: "Huh? You can obviously use invisible techniques to make them fight each other!"
Adolf stared at Kino and replied calmly: "The flames are in the Queen Mother's brain. Using invisible techniques on them will probably cause the Queen Mother to close her brain core, so I can't get anything."
…
Bullshit plan!
This is Kino's true inner thought, and he will definitely reject it.
But he forgot one thing, that is, after the secret potion of withering is prepared and sprinkled on the corpses of dead creatures, it has a strong attraction to Saluba and ghouls.
Victor used this magic potion combined with dead pork to lure Kino out.
The smell is no less than the fragrant roast chicken served in front of a hungry beggar...
This effect of stimulating appetite is instinctive, and it is difficult for Kino to resist.
So, when everything was prepared, even if he rejected Adolf's plan, he had to change his body, bite into the venison and start eating.
After only two seconds, Adolf disappeared, and the Salubas below were also attracted by the secret medicine of withering, and gradually surrounded him along the steep stone wall.
Kino was like a wolf-dog guarding his food, greedily holding the deer meat in his mouth and running away behind.
In an instant, the "march" route of the big spiders was completely messed up. Although the several guardian monsters around the Queen Mother did not leave the Queen Mother's side without authorization, they also moved in the direction of Kino's escape, leaving a huge gap behind.
of flaws.
Adolf had already observed that when the queen stretched out its tentacles from under her body to eat, her head would be half-open. He tied a hemp rope to the stone beam above her head, hoping to use this opportunity to hang her down and steal the green ball from it.
of flame.
The reason why he made a desperate move was because Adolf was sure that the thing was the secret transmission of Zoroastrianism!
