Thud … thud … thud …
Under the illumination of the light, the group of four moved forward in the dim crystal cave.
The function of the Golden Compass was very simple. In the sea, no matter how bad the situation was, it could guide the owner of the Golden Compass to a way out!
Although they were now underground on an island, it did not affect the Golden Compass at all. At this time, the two needles of the Golden Compass were pointing to a certain place in the depths of the crystal cave.
It happened to be in the same direction as the original strain in Milan's divination.
Tick tock … tick tock …
Some of the magical stories about the Golden Compass were widely spread, but some of the secrets were only known to its owner and inheritor. The ultimate secret was only known to Jeros and Elvin, who had been to the Golden Kingdom.
Although Olivia had seen the Golden Compass in Elvin's hands, she had never "chatted" with the demigods of the Golden Kingdom. For the time being, she did not know the secrets and deeper meaning behind the Golden Compass and the Blood of Adventurers.
In the hundreds of years that the Golden Compass had been passed down, it had only been passed down for four generations. Moreover, the Blood of Adventurers was rarely expressed in the family.
In fact, the members of the Amor family did not realize the existence of this strange power at all. They only thought that it was the nature of the old Count Amor and Olivia.
At this time, she and Elvin took out the Golden Compass at the same time. In the eyes of an ordinary person who had only heard of the legend of the Golden Compass but had little to do with it, there was no problem at all. For example, Milan in the team.
Although the value of the Golden Compass was comparable to ordinary sea treasures, it was not a very impressive treasure because of its relatively simple function.
Its ordinary status in the treasure reward list of the "Rising Star of the Navy" provided by the Elia Kingdom was obvious.
But in the eyes of Elvin, who deeply understood the meaning behind the Golden Compass, there was too much information just from the compass itself!
In addition to the great adventurer Jeros, who had abducted the great Princess, there were 13 adventurer families with golden compasses scattered throughout this vast material world.
Although Elvin had never met Olivia, the so-called "natural adventurer," he could almost conclude that the Aimor family was one of the thirteen adventurer families.
At this time, a golden compass suddenly appeared beside him, and the owner was a little fatty with a clear family background and experience. Iwen didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen.
Therefore, the biggest possibility was that this' Rody 'was not Rody!
When he boarded the ship, he had coincidentally encountered a group of ghouls trying to capture a "fugitive". Then, he had suddenly become an official Knight despite the fact that he only had Novice Level Transcendent Swordsmanship. Then, he had easily killed a Tier 2 Shaman in a chaotic battle. Then, he had an inexplicable tacit understanding during many operations.
After he came back to his senses, the mushroomman with powerful psychic ability said, "Gentlemen! Ladies! "
Although it was impossible to tell that she was a girl from her appearance and behavior, it was as if he had pierced through a layer of window paper. As long as he began to have doubts, he could easily find all kinds of flaws in this newly promoted warrant officer.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
His heartbeat quickened. A truth was on the verge of being revealed.
If the eldest daughter of Marquis Yuanfan's family, Olivia, whom he had always wanted to meet but had never met, and the moonstone who was closely connected to him in the Spiritual Realm, was Warrant Officer Rody.
Then, all the clues in his hands could be connected, and all the doubts could be perfectly explained!
After making this logical deduction, Elvin's first thought was, "I didn't do anything in front of 'Rody' that would ruin my heroic image, did I?"
As an adult male who was psychologically and physiologically normal, it would be too much of a lie to say that he did not have any other thoughts after spending so much time with a beautiful girl of noble birth in the Spiritual Realm.
Especially when he had to stay on the ship all day, even the ewes were a scarce resource. Bah, bah, bah.
But after thinking about it carefully.
Elvin realized that the trait of being heroic was just like the three attributes of Physique, Dexterity, and Strength. It was inherent to him and could be used anywhere. He secretly sighed in relief. "Phew, as expected of me."
Then, he immediately realized a key problem.
He had not been able to detect the other party's identity, but it did not mean that Olivia was the same. Whether it was in the Spiritual Realm or the Material Realm, he had exposed too many of his unique abilities.
It was impossible for them not to be able to identify each other after spending so much time together.
His mind raced, and his powerful memory replayed every scene that had happened since the other party boarded the ship. Gradually, he even had a clue as to why Olivia had been by his side all this time.
Initially, it might have been a coincidence that they had boarded the 'Storm Horn' to escape the pursuit of the ghouls. Once they were safe, she should have quickly discovered his identity. As for why she had not left, he could guess.
However, even though his mind seemed to be replaying a movie, Elvin's expression did not change. Out of a subtle psychology, he did not want to expose the other party's identity and break the tacit understanding of hide-and-seek.
As for the specific reason, he was not too sure himself.
Perhaps it was because he was about to take an unknown turn after exposing the truth? Perhaps it was the wonderful feeling of being gay with a 'netizen'? Perhaps it was the pleasure of hearing the cold and aloof Miss Moonlight Stone respectfully address him as' Lord General 'every day? Cough cough …
Olivia, who was holding the 'Golden Compass' beside him, did not realize that she had been completely exposed to Elvin because of the compass.
Of course, she had heard what the mushroomman had said. At first, she was a little nervous. However, when she saw that her companions did not seem to have any reaction from the beginning to the end, she gradually relaxed.
"Other than the differences in the nature of our powers, our paths, and our personalities, I finally have something in common with Mr. Red Hemlock. In other words, the Garriott family, who discovered the best sea route in the Southern Continent, also has a 'Golden Compass' in their hands. "
Although limited by her experience and knowledge, she was not sure if the mysterious connection between the two was due to this similarity. However, Olivia was still very excited. She felt that she had taken a big step closer to finally unlocking the secret between the beacon anchorages.
Now that the pressure of escaping was gone, Olivia quietly approached Elvin and seemingly inadvertently asked for information from him.
"Lord General, what a coincidence. You also have a Golden Compass in your hands.
Although I have heard of the legend of this magical tool, I have not used it much since I accidentally obtained it.
Your Garriott family is a very famous family of adventurers. There must be many adventures related to the Golden Compass. Can you tell me the story behind it? "
As the girl spoke, she secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
'Asking him under the guise of exchanging pointers? Olivia, you're really smart!'
"Haha, the Golden Compass in the hands of the Garriott family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. There are many stories …"
Elvin himself did not notice that his attitude towards' Rody 'had quietly changed. The past of the Garriott family was not something that anyone could listen to.
But at this moment.
Squeak … Squeak … Squeak …
A rustling sound suddenly sounded from the darkness of the cave not far away from them.
As if they had heard the movement, a group of giant spiders the size of puppies crawled out from the darkness. Eight red eyes, eight sharp spear-like legs, fine bristles on them, and a mushroom-like yellow tumor-like object on their backs.
This was a group of monsters that had mutated under the influence of the pollution source in the crystal cave. They were [Enchanted Spider Monsters] that contained deadly germs.
The moment they saw them, Apsuya and Olivia took half a step back at the same time.
However, a few low-level enchanted creatures reared here by the School of Poison posed no threat to Elvin and the rest. Just as he shouted twice in a show of force, he was dealt with by Elvin in no time at all.
He plucked out the poisonous fangs in their mouths and stored them in his' magical pocket '. Without a doubt, these fangs would gloriously become the raw material for Angel's' Wild Talisman '.
They would become a stepping stone on her path to becoming an official sorcerer!
As they continued forward, the variety of mushrooms on the ground began to increase. It already smelled like a miniature mushroom forest in the spirit world.
They soon came to a place with spider skin that might have been the nest of the large spiders.
On a piece of glowing crystal, there were densely packed creatures the size of goose eggs that looked like mushrooms and plants. They had yellowish-green vegetative bodies with concave tops and thick flesh.
Milan's pendulum stopped here.
"Elvin, I found it. It should be them!"
Hearing his words, Elvin activated 'microscopic vision' and confirmed the results of Milan's divination.
This was an ascomycete that Elvin named 'Cyst Fungus'.
Obviously, it could be both symbiotic and parasitic. When it lacked a parasite, it would form a lichen with the algae and absorb the light released by the crystal in the cave, becoming the cornerstone of the vast ecosystem of the crystal cave.
When it had a parasite, it could rapidly reproduce, especially after being modified by witchcraft. It could mature in an extremely short period of time and spread its spores, becoming a powerful biochemical weapon.
He used a dagger to gently pluck a few fleshy vegetative bodies and stuffed them into a crystal bottle to hang at his waist. He also drank a bottle of water that was filled with hundreds of germs. No matter how tenacious the germs were, the 'magic pocket' wasn't a place where they should stay.
"Mission accomplished!"
Looking at this colorful and murderous place, Milan suggested to Elvin, "Don't worry.
"Elvin, this place is full of harmful things. Why don't we destroy this place with alchemy bombs after we leave?"
For people outside the 'School of Poison', even powerful Extraordinary ones would reach their limit after staying here for a few days at most.
Therefore, although they had temporarily retreated, the 'mushroom people' didn't feel that they would lose this natural treasure trove that belonged to the school. In two days, they could just collect the corpses of the enemies who were trapped underground.
But they didn't expect that the enemies would be so ruthless as to cut them off completely!
Fortunately, there was someone who knew the ropes.
Elvin stopped Milan and explained to his companions, "Don't worry.
"After we leave, I'll send Seagull to guard this place. I won't let them use these things to harm people again. Also, the diversity of living things is a huge asset in itself. These fungi can not only harm people, but also save people. "
Elvin didn't forget that antibiotics, which could also be used to treat all kinds of bacterial infections or pathogenic microorganism infections, were also produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) or higher plants and animals.
Among them was the famous penicillin. Based on Elvin's understanding of this world, this kind of battlefield medicine was very promising!
Perhaps with these things and given a certain amount of time, he could develop a corresponding antibiotic medicine and completely get rid of the bacteria even without Dr. Taylor's help.
However, that was a research topic for the future. The most important thing now was to bring the original strain of the cyst fungus back to Dr. Taylor.
"Alright, you have the final say."
They didn't question Elvin's decision and continued forward.
At the end of the crystal cave that stretched for several kilometers, the needles of the two golden compasses pointed at a wall and stopped at the same time.
Without hesitation, Elvin threw a heavy punch mixed with lightning.
Kaboom!
Behind the one-meter-thick wall was a nearby lead mine. A weak breeze indicated that this was an exit that led to the outside world. Perhaps because the lead ore nearby could block telepathy, the "mushroom people" didn't notice the abnormality here.
The golden compasses didn't let them down.
"Let's go!"
Under Elvin's lead, the group was about to leave.
At the place where the rubble collapsed, a cluster of very beautiful topaz crystals was revealed.
Apsuya didn't react to such a beautiful thing, but "Roddy" seemed to be unable to move.
However, the five or six huge crystals made it difficult for her. After hesitating for a moment, she asked Elvin for help.
"Sir General, can I trouble you to use your 'magic bag' to carry these crystals? My … my cousin from my uncle's family likes these things a lot. "
Elvin sensed the deeply hidden spiritual waves on them. He gave Roddy a meaningful smile that all men understood and agreed readily. "Got it! Leave it to me. No problem! "
