Chapter 178: Night Insect Day Stone

"Captain..." a thin black mercenary shouted, holding a thick wood.

"What's the matter?" Johnny asked back.

"I have a vase that is made of porcelain, which I bought for my wife." The mercenary whispered. It cost him two gold coins. If it weren't for his wife...

"Take it over." Johnny was overjoyed. If it weren't for Ferleg tonight, he would be afraid that the Marine Mercenary Group would be destroyed. He didn't know how to thank the two of them. It would be somewhat of a bit of what they could do for them.

After a while, the mercenary took a porcelain vase. The vase was not big and there was a glaze flower bead outside. Feileg was used to seeing high-end goods at home and in the imperial palace, and he knew at a glance that this thing was not worth much money.

He took out a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into the mercenary. The mercenary continued to smash the insect happily. Johnny looked apologetic, but he knew that the magician would not be short of such a small amount of money, so he didn't say anything.

This porcelain bottle is not big, but it is much larger than the bottles that Maya has filled with fragrant powder. Ferlig put dozens of bugs in it in one breath and was satisfied.

I looked at the mouth of the bottle and was not very relieved. I applied some oil to the mouth of the bottle. Finally, I found a block to plug it tightly. I also took a look at it from time to time, for fear that the insects inside would run out of the block.

After looking at it for a while, I felt relieved that the insects seemed to be unable to climb on the porcelain wall. Although the vase was not big, it was more than half a foot high, so it should be very safe.

"When will we guard?" Johnny asked worriedly. Although the bugs can't climb now, everyone can't get out. This is a famous ghost realm, and there are almost no one who comes except for the adventurers of the Pure Gold.

"Don't worry, they will naturally dissipate at dawn." Felleg said confidently. Maya had already made the rumors very detailed. She had never heard of people dead during the day.

Filig's judgment was correct. When Qimingxing rose to the ground, the insects began to retreat, but the insects in the ditch could not crawl back for a while and ran around at the bottom of the ditch.

The sun wheel slowly rose, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Under the sun wheel light, the insects moved slowly and slowly. At the end, it didn't move, and the bottom of the ditch seemed to be filled with small black stones.

Johnny split ten people and still stayed by the ditch. The others started to raise fire and cook. After being tired in the middle of the night, everyone was hungry.

After breakfast, Felleg, Maya and Johnny came to the edge of the ditch and used branches to stir up the bugs at the bottom of the ditch, but found that these bugs really turned into small stones.

If you don't tell them carefully, you can't recognize them at all. The shapes of these stones are relatively regular and the colors are slightly darker. If you didn't watch them change little by little, it's hard to believe that these stones turned out to be bugs.

"I am afraid of the sunshine and cannot destroy porcelain, and can paralyze organisms. It has strong corrosiveness." Fellig said softly, integrating the characteristics of black bugs.

"Very strongly corrosive." Maya emphasized, and at the same time extended the dagger to show Feleg. The two holes in the dagger were still as if they were looking at it. After midnight, there was no sign of recovery.

Johnny naturally couldn't understand it. If the dagger is broken, it is broken. What's there to see?

"Awesome, this is the first time I have seen it. It can damage the things in the ink sword." Feleg nodded, it seemed that he had basically forgotten the short sword.

"Why do they attack us?" Maya said in confusion. On the first night, they were peaceful and everyone lived in the same place, but the insects did not attack everyone.

"Maybe...maybe they are studying us?" Johnny whispered. If he wanted to attack the enemy, he naturally had to find out the enemy's strength. Barracks and other information. However, his statement was based on human thinking.

Do bugs have such wisdom?

Ferlig scanned all the information in his mind, and said in his heart: "Please let people collect the stones that the more insects turn into, the better."

Johnny gave the order in a little embarrassed manner. Several mercenaries trembled down the bottom of the ditch and carefully collected the small black stones at the bottom of the ditch with simple tools.

Fortunately, it is very safe. After the insect turns into a stone, it is completely like a stone, without any abnormality.

The mercenaries who collected the black stones became more courageous and began to pick them up with their hands. The speed became faster. In a short while, they collected all the black stones, with tens of thousands of them piled up on the ground.

Johnny looked at Feleg, not knowing what he wanted for this thing. Feleg smiled and said, "You have the tools to refine the essence gold, right? Use these stones to refine it.

"Feleg was not sure of his judgment, so he could only try it.

"Okay." Johnny's eyes lit up, as if he was conscious.

The tools are all ready-made, and the mercenaries who operate the tools are also very skilled. It seems that before coming here, they had been training for a while, and in a while, they melted the black stones. The rising smoke was filled with an unpleasant sour smell. Maya raised her eyebrows and looked at Felge.

An hour later, piles of black stones had been completely refined, and a trace of red and yellow color appeared into people's eyelids: "It's pure gold, but it's so little." The mercenary who operated the tool picked out the little bit of pure gold from the refining solution and said.

"So that's it." Fellig said softly, Maya nodded, and Johnny thought about it. The reason why the insect attacked people seemed to have been found.

No wonder the villagers before Qilihe Village had lived a difficult life, but no one had ever died unexpectedly. All deaths began after five years of operation of the Jingjin Mine.

As for whether these bugs are foreign or new species produced here, no one can tell.

Felleg is not a biologist and does not want to conduct in-depth research on this matter. There is no need to do it. He only needs to know the truth about the mysterious killer of Qilihe.

"They eat pure gold, so there are less and less pure gold here." Maya said. The Qilihe pure gold mine was very famous in the past.

"So they attacked us because we had gold and snatched their food." Johnny also whispered.

This time, it was really not in vain. With the magician Filig here, he actually found the mysterious killer and revealed the secret of Qilihe.

As long as this matter is reported, the Mayan Empire will give you a generous reward. I am afraid that this reward will not be less than that of my own desperate attempt to collect gold. However, this matter was discovered by the magician Ferig.

He may not care about this reward, but that woman is different. She is also a Maya. But she... seems to be very difficult.

"Captain Johnny, this is a great achievement." Feileg didn't think so much, but Maya knew what Captain Johnny was thinking.

"This... this is entirely the credit of the wizard Ferleg and Miss Maya. If you weren't here, let alone discovering the secret, our entire mercenary group would have been silently killed by insects.

"Johnny said immediately, these two people cannot be offended.

"Don't worry, this credit is yours, we are not interested in these." Maya said calmly. She needed to know the murderer who killed her father. As for credit, how could she care about these.

Now Maya is thinking about how these bugs should be eliminated.

She had hardly lived in the Mayan Empire, and there was no question of patriotism. Maya just wanted to avenge her father's murder to comfort her father's spirit in heaven.

"Is there a way to kill them all?" Maya asked gently, touching Ferleg, who was still in contemplation.

"I don't know, I'm thinking that there are still some things to do tonight. If I guess correctly, it would be impossible to kill them all." Feleg said.

"Oh? What's the matter? They should come back tonight." Maya asked. Haven't you fully understood the black bug? I have never heard of this bug before. I don't know if the scholars of the Empire understand it.

“I can’t say it now.

"Feleg said, turned around and looked at Johnny and said, "Captain Johnny, take a long rest for a while. In the afternoon, let you continue to deepen and widen the trench. It doesn't have to be too wide. It's only about one meter. It's 1.5 meters deep, and it doesn't need to be too deep. We are not dealing with horse thieves.

In addition, we need to cut down more trees to come back.”

Johnny nodded and agreed. Even if Ferig did not ask, he would send someone to do this. Tonight, the bugs would likely attack again. With Ferig here, he didn't want to go down the mountain to escape.

Knowing that the bug existed, if Filig had not supported him here, I was afraid that he would have fled down the mountain with the mercenaries. This thing was so terrible, it would be overwhelming and could not be killed no matter how hard he killed it.

"Before digging a trench, there is a very important thing to do. Send someone to carefully check the bottom of the ditch and find out all the remaining black stones. It is best not to leave one, leave me twenty black stones. You can refine the other gold, but the refined stones should be stored carefully, and it is best to leave them to me.

” Ferlig said seriously.

"Okay." Johnny didn't know why Filigo wanted these stones, but he pointed out the quantity. He probably didn't want to refine the pure gold inside, even the refined waste stones. What's the reason?

There were twenty small black stones piled up in front of Feleg. He was having a headache about how to deal with them. If he guessed correctly, it would be obviously unsafe to put them like this, but it would be difficult to handle them without extra porcelain bottles.

After thinking for a long time, I dug a deep pit on the ground with a small belly, which was more than half a meter deep. The hole was only the size of a palm. I threw a few fireballs into the pit and kept burning with high-temperature flames. It was not until half an hour later that Ferlig stopped satisfied.

Due to the high temperature in the pit, it has begun to crystallize. Although it cannot be compared with porcelain, it is already considered good. I don’t know if the oil can work at the mouth of the pit. It’s better than nothing.

Finally, I carefully placed these twenty black stones into the pit. Finally, I set up a circle of small trenches around the pit, and inserted four torches into the entrance of the pit for use at night.
