"Have low-level monsters appeared since Area C4?"

Louis thought about the news that Miss Arieh at the front desk had told him.

In fact, starting from Area C, the ruins are not so safe.

Louis had killed a giant sewer rat before, and it's also roaming around here.

There are more than twenty recorded LV1 monsters, and there are also some LV2-LV3 monsters, but they have basically been killed by the Thieves Guild.

The Arctic Ice Bat is a LV2 dungeon monster. Even if it had appeared in the past, it would have been killed by the Thieves Guild long ago.

However, in the C4 area, where there are still relatively many stealth fighters living, there are unexpectedly such a large number of Arctic Ice Bats.

This is not right.

"It's a bit strange. There seem to be too many monsters."

William said in a deep voice: "With this number of dungeon monsters appearing in the ruins, the Thieves Guild should have reported it to the Royal Guards long ago."

Alice also said, "There is no Arctic Ice Bat in the guild's list. Something is wrong."

Dungeon monsters are a special phenomenon in the Star Continent.

Louis asked curiously, "How do you determine the monsters in the dungeon?"

Seeing this, the little swan jumped out, her staff swaying, and she also shook her head and said:

"You don't know this, right? After all, 500 years have passed, and many people have almost forgotten it."

Upon seeing this, Louis immediately made a gesture of listening attentively.

No, the little swan became happy, hummed and said, "Have you heard of the underground city?"

Louis said honestly: "I have heard of it, but I haven't studied it in detail."

If you don't understand it carefully, it's just like what single people say to their parents, "I'm looking for it."

——It’s mainly because it’s not convenient to reveal that he has no knowledge of some basic common sense.

Little Swan put one hand on his waist and said:

"About every five hundred years, the land of the Star Continent will undergo a major expansion, absorbing the star residues from the surrounding star realms."

"Most of these residues will form the lower plane of the stars, and a small part will be integrated into the star continent."

"Sometimes, some intelligent creatures will come along with the residue. I'm sure you've heard of the two most famous ones."

"Oh?" Louis asked curiously, "What is it?"

Olivia tapped Louis' armor with her fingers, "Dragons, and quite a few elves."

"Both tribes took the initiative to accept the baptism of the world, multiplied and grew on the continent, and eventually became part of the stars."

"But there are some races that are barbaric and brutal and can easily cause local disasters."

"The world's instinct brings them together, forming a special geographical landscape."

Louis suddenly said, "Dungeon?"

Little Swan nodded and added, "The heroes selected by the continent and the Adventurer's Guild were originally created to prevent the existence of dungeons."

"What about the previous generation's dungeon?"

"It was penetrated by the previous hero."

"That is to say, the dungeon monsters we are talking about now..."

"Well, they are species that have been in the dungeon for the last 500 years. They haven't been cleaned out yet."

The little swan smiled sweetly.

Even a little too sweet.

Being able to show off in front of Huoguo makes me happier than not having to eat disgusting vegetables at noon.

As for Louis, the first thing he thought of was Rudelson's gang of bad guys.

"Are they behind this again?"

But soon, he frowned again.

wrong.

Rudelson and his men can control zombies, but controlling monsters is a different concept.

Not to mention that when he went out, he asked his first wife for a prop that could detect zombies.

He was sure that these extremely cold ice bats were not zombies.

It would be better to believe that he is Qin Shi Huang than to believe that they can control the tide of monsters.

"Let's clean up the scene." Alice said.

It's harvest time again, even Louis subconsciously rubs his hands.

He said, "Are these monsters worth money?"

Alice gave a strange smile:

"You can also keep the fangs that connect to their venom sacs. That's a good thing."

The little swan said unconvincedly: "I have never heard of the use of its teeth."

Alice stretched out her fingertips to lift the little swan's chin:

"Olivia, this is not an area you can understand."

Olivia was furious.

It's like saying she's a child! The head maid at the side said faintly: "Don't bully her."

The little swan looked touched.

As expected, Lumi is the best to her.

Then she heard the head maid's calm explanation:

"Two years ago, there was a little human beauty in Fengqing Street. In order to deal with some overly powerful customers, she developed a set of props made of extremely cold ice bat fangs and fire lizard scales."

"It is said that with this thing, the efficiency of making money for the little human beauty has been greatly improved, and the rate of customer praise has also greatly increased."

"In the past few years, the price of Arctic Ice Bat fangs has risen rapidly, and has far exceeded the price of their fur."

"Now this thing... is almost in short supply."

Several men already smiled humorously.

Louis even sighed, no matter where it is, this kind of thing is just like women's cosmetics, and it is a highly profitable industry.

Olivia also reacted, her face flushed, and she shrank behind Lumi.

It's so embarrassing.

What should I do? I want to escape from the ruins at the speed of light.

Louis didn't mind the heavy armor at all. He was overjoyed as he squatted on the ground and harvested materials with a dagger.

One cut, a cramp and peeling of the skin, and then...

"Hahahaha, Caesar, do you have any grudge against bats? It won't be chopped into pieces even after it dies!"

Louis looked at the bloody bat in silence.

It's a bit inelegant indeed.

He took a deep breath, looked at Alice and said, "Are you sure that only the skin and teeth are useful?"

Alice nodded.

Louis turned around and picked up Rimuru: "Go, Rimuru!"

Rimuru: ゛(◎_◎;) "For the sake of food, I'll do it. Who says you're the master?"

So it crawled over, and the dozen tentacles on its body drilled directly into the mouth of the extreme cold ice bat.

The extremely cold ice bats probably never thought in their entire lives that even after they died they would be stuffed into people's mouths and their stomachs filled to the brim.

Rimuru's tentacles digest food directly from the inside, even leaving the skin and teeth intact.

Louis shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I wanted to do it myself, but it did it all for me."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Even though he couldn't see Louis' smile, Little Swan could sense the pride in his tone.

Even Rimuru, who was helping him deal with the corpse, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Soon, everything returned to calm, and a small hill-sized pile of materials appeared on the ground.

Louis happily put the materials into the dimensional bag one by one.

Alice said speechlessly: "You can't be that serious, right? Didn't you make a lot of money before? This little money doesn't matter to you!"

"You don't understand. It's this joy of harvest that we enjoy."

The excitement of having 4,000 yuan in salary transferred into your bank card is completely different from the feeling of your manager directly putting a stack of banknotes in your hands.

This sense of achievement even suppressed the great sin of greed that had begun to stir again during this period.

Suddenly, Lumi, who had been silent beside her, raised her head: "Did you feel it?"

Louis threw the last ingredient into the space bag, squinted his eyes and said:

“There are very few…”

Alice smiled cruelly: "But it made quite a lot of noise, so it's a good prey."
