These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

"By the way, don't send food for souvenirs, absolutely don't give food, absolutely don't give food, understand!"

"I know, I know!"

As the future heir of the territory, no matter which village will prepare souvenirs to curry favor with him, this is a good thing, but before he loses weight, he doesn't plan to accept any more gifts.

After packing up the luggage, Du Wei took a few black feather knights to look through the village's account books to see if there was any problem.

Now Du Wei is almost familiar with the tax collector's work. Although it seems easy to check the accounts and collect taxes, the actual work content is far beyond the duty of the tax collector.

As I said before, it is very difficult to connect remote villages with cities. Therefore, in addition to the traditional message of flying pigeons, cities can only rely on tax collectors who go to collect taxes or travelers passing by to get information about villages. up.

Therefore, in addition to checking taxes and accounts, tax collectors also need to pay attention to the development of the village, such as whether there are any factors around that will affect the safety of the village, etc. These are all matters that tax collectors must report when they return to the city.

After the account verification was completed, they were led by the village chief to the cave that Howard suspected to be the remains of the Covenant sect stronghold early the next morning.

"That's it?"

"Yes, the subordinates sent by the lord discovered this cave when they picked up statues nearby."

Du Wei couldn't feel anything special about the cave in front of him.

"Hmm... Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Du Wei is not afraid of encountering battles. He has not practiced martial arts for nothing in the past few years, and he has taken members of the Iron Man Group to explore such caves several times.

Tie Hua asked.

"Didn't the boss say that it's fine to just hang out at the entrance of the cave?"

"That's what I said, but I have traveled all the way here, and I have paid the price of being out of shape. If I go back without receiving any goods, I always feel very unwilling."

"...Many adventurers with the mentality of the boss die in the dungeon every year."

"Hey, don't say such unlucky things."

Tiehua shrugged.

"I'm just reminding the boss that sometimes enough is enough to stop."

"I know that!"

The iron man on the side asked.

"Then what will the boss decide? Turn around and go back home, or plan to find out?"

"Um......"

After thinking for a while, Du Wei asked the village chief.

"This cave is not far from the village, why didn't you find it here before?"

Although this place is not on the main road, it is only two hours away from the village. However, according to the village chief, it seems that they did not know the existence of this cave before.

The village chief explained.

"Although this place is not far from the village, there are many wolf lairs nearby, so hunters hardly come here to hunt."

Iron Man also added.

"I can prove this. When we were still an adventure group, we received the mission to clean up the wargs here."

"I see."

Wargs are a collateral blood relative of wolves, but they are more ferocious and cunning. They even developed a primitive but unique language of wargs. When they act, they also hunt in large groups. This kind is classified as a monster. The ferocious beast was no longer something ordinary hunters could handle.

Tiehua frowned and touched the wall of the cave entrance.

"I think this cave may have appeared only a while ago. Look at the structure of the cave entrance and the abrupt-looking broken stones on the ground. I suspect that these broken stones were originally buried on the cave entrance, but for some reason they let the cave appear." The stone crumbled and the cave was brought to light."

Iron Man said.

"Could it be that someone went ahead of us?"

The village chief shook his head.

"But I have the impression that no outsiders have visited the village for a long time."

So regardless of whether there are outsiders, there are only two choices now: to go or not to go?

"Go in and check, if the situation is not right, we will withdraw."

Although it is said that he will not die if he does not do it, but he has a lot of life-saving props on him, so it should not endanger his life.

Hearing his decision, the iron man began to call and dispatch people.

In the end, it was decided that half of the team would follow him in, while the other half would guard the entrance of the cave. After all, the possibility of a trap inside could not be ruled out.

"Holy Light, please guide my path!"

A small ball of light then floated over their team, illuminating the inner passage.

The iron man whispered, "This is obviously the light technique."

Du Wei gave him a blank look.

"You don't care what I want to shout."

In the past few years, his magic strength has not increased much, mainly because his family is afraid that he will learn magic and cause trouble everywhere, so the highest level of attack spell he has learned now is only a second-level wind-making spell.

"It's not over yet, it's up to you!"

A bright light flashed, and his magic pet, creeper, appeared on the stage.

As the master's strength grows, so will the magic pet's strength, but the growth rate is not too large, and Xiaodi's performance is that the power and scope of the explosion are stronger.

Xiao Di turned his head to convey to him the telepathy of who to bomb.

"I'll leave it to you to take the lead!"

After Xiao Di nodded to him, he went deep into the cave.

And they also started to start to go deep slowly. The one who walked in the front was the old dog, the stalker of the original iron man group, who was responsible for checking whether there were traps or other mechanisms on the road.

Iron Man and Tie Hua protected Du Wei one after the other, while the others formed a circle around them.

But they didn't encounter any traps or monsters along the way, no, it should be said that they didn't even encounter half of bats and other creatures.

Iron Man beckoned the team to stop.

"It doesn't feel right. It's so dead here. I didn't even see a bug. Everyone put holy oil on their weapons."

"Is there any undead!?"

Holy oil is a kind of anointed oil blessed by the priests of the Church of Light. Although the holy oil has many functions, it is most often used on weapons to deal with the undead.

Tiehua warned her surroundings and said.

"It's very possible that no living things are found in a normal cave. Either it means that the cave is poisonous, or the smell of death inside is very strong. There are more or less undead in this kind of cave."

Just when Du Wei was thinking about whether to turn around and go back immediately, a sudden feeling came to his heart.

Iron Man was puzzled.

"Boss? Why did you suddenly tremble just now?"

"What do you mean shaking? I call it shaking! No, that's not the point. Xiao Di died just now. I think we should retreat!"

"Ah? Are you sure?"

"Indeed...wait what's the sound?"

From the depths of the cave came a cat's meow that sounded very bleak.

Iron Man roared.

"Be careful! This is the scream of the banshee, everyone is ready to fight!"

As soon as the words fell, three translucent women with unusually terrifying looks emerged from the depths of the cave.

Tiehua reminded with a giant ax in hand.

"Shut your mind and be careful of the frightened screams of these banshees."

The banshee opened her translucent and terrifying mouth, and a piercing sound came.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Du Wei also yelled, screaming more miserable than the banshee.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Save me!"

Tie Hua looked helpless at Du Wei, who was once out of control due to the mental shock.

"...It's really you. I just finished speaking, and you were immediately recruited."

084 Within Ten Moves, I Will Defeat You

The encounter with the Banshee is over, the process of the battle... Du Wei can't remember at all.

Because he was hit by the banshee's scream of fear at the beginning, and he was in a state of fear from the beginning to the end.

Luckily no one on the team was injured in this fight...except him.

"It hurts, you actually hit me so hard."

Du Wei held his swollen cheeks and kept complaining to Tiehua.

"What can I do? If there are no priests in the team, waking you up with a slap is the easiest and fastest way to relieve the state of fear."

"Obviously even my father never hit me."

Tiehua was not in a good mood.

"Stop complaining, bring your face closer and I'll give you medicine."

"It hurts, it hurts, don't rub it on my face, your ointment is expired, I use my own."

After politely rejecting Tiehua's painful unknown ointment, Du Wei took out a bottle of healing potion and a bottle of milk from the interspatial bag and poured them down. In an instant, the tingling of mental damage and the burning feeling on his cheeks disappeared. , directly return to full state!

After giving the Iron Man brother and sister a few bottles of healing potion and milk, Du Wei patted the dust on his body, pretending to be profound.

"The latest product on the market, I got it at a big price, no thanks!"

Tiehua is also welcome, she said while packing the potion.

"I think compared to potions, boss, you might as well exercise your willpower more often, thanks to the fact that you still bear the title of Son of Light."

"This has nothing to do with will, I was made to cry ugly by the banshee."

"..."

In fact, it’s okay to have entities like skeletons, and Du Wei has also hunted and killed some, but what he hates most is this kind of ghost-type monsters. The sense of fear that will come out of nowhere always makes people feel frightened.

As for the title of Son of Light, it was just because Du Wei had donated a large sum of donations to the Church of Light, so the church gave him such an honorary title to commemorate his good deeds to make him happy.

In other words, the title was bought...

"How about it, did the banshee drop any spoils?"

Iron Man shrugged.

"Not even a fart."

The reality is different from the game, killing monsters will not drop wasted coins, so the undead are one of the least popular types of monsters in the hearts of adventurers, such as skeleton zombies occasionally bring some inheritance with them, but ghosts After the Banshee was defeated, she dissipated into the air directly, as the iron man said, without leaving a fart.

After the team regrouped on the spot, they explored the depths of the cave again, and it took less than a few minutes to reach the bottom of the cave.

At the very bottom is a wide open space. In the center of the open space is a suspected sacrificial altar. Around this altar, there are a lot of badly weathered dead bones of various creatures. It looks like some kind of evil sacrifice has been carried out. ceremony.

But the most conspicuous thing is a long sword inserted on the sacrificial altar.

Everyone quickly searched the scene, and it turned out that there were no secret passages, no traps, no monsters, and of course no treasures.

So everyone turned their attention to the long sword.

Iron Man asked.

"Boss, what do you feel about that long sword?"

"Yes, it feels very dirty and I don't want to touch it with my hands."

Iron Man twitched his fat face.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. Didn't the lord ask the boss to sense it? No matter how you look at it, the long sword inserted on the sacrificial altar is the weirdest."

Du Wei sighed.
