Chapter 2484 The Temptation of Wealth
The cracks hidden under the tower are filled with the smell of corruption, making people subconsciously cover their noses to avoid vomiting.
The lair where the monster is entrenched is really dirty, almost like a pig pen.
The environment is even more filthy and messy, with bones and filth everywhere, presumably from monsters' defecation.
Fortunately, the space is large, and not everywhere is like this. Some places are relatively clean, but full of dust.
More than a dozen coffins-like objects were brutally overturned on the ground, and bones were discarded everywhere.
The surrounding walls are painted with bizarre and eerie patterns. Under the light of the fire, the characters in the paintings seem to be peeping, with a strange smile on their lips.
Several huge rats were frightened by the fireball and screamed, hiding in a dark corner and looking at Tang Zhen and others with ferocious eyes.
Rats look fierce, but in fact they are just food for monsters. Otherwise, how would those monsters survive?
However, food can also become hunters. A few rats were eating the corpse of a monster. They must have been killed by Big Beard and others before.
Tang Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to these mice, but glanced at the ground. Sure enough, where they were trampled and left footprints, there was a golden light flashing.
That is an ancient gold coin, a treasure hidden in the ruins, one of Tang Zhen's goals.
The tip of the sword was gently raised, and a gold coin flew up and fell into his hand.
The simple shape and familiar texture prove that this is a genuine gold currency.
Tang Zhen smiled, feeling that he was very lucky to encounter such a good thing on the way.
"Sure enough, everything is traceable, and it is not a completely unfamiliar world environment that makes people feel unable to start."
Tang Zhen said in a light tone. He had already vaguely guessed the origin of this world. It is inevitable to feel a little sigh in my heart.
Compared to a truly strong person, I am actually still far behind. Becoming a Creator Monk is perhaps just a new beginning?
"Sir, there are a lot of gold coins inside, but there are also a lot of monsters!"
The bearded adventurer said, while pointing at the dark passage in front of him, with a trace of fear on his face.
"Well, I can feel it."
Tang Zhen walked forward without looking back. Where adventurers were afraid, he had to go there himself.
"If you are okay, just follow me and help pick up the gold coins on the ground."
Tang Zhen's voice came, and there seemed to be an echo in the underground space. But it has disappeared.
The adventurers did not hesitate and quickly looked for the gold coins that fell on the ground and put them into the leather pockets they carried.
With Tang Zhen cleaning up in front, they don't have to worry about encountering monsters and can just pick up gold coins with peace of mind.
At the same time, keep your ears open and listen to the sounds in the passage to prevent accidents.
Not long after, there was a monster's roar, which made Big Beard and others tremble.
They subconsciously put on a vigilant posture and kept their eyes on the entrance of the passage to prevent monsters from rushing out.
After waiting for a long time, the monster was nowhere to be seen. On the contrary, the monster's roar became smaller and smaller.
After a few minutes, all the sounds disappeared, and the surroundings became eerily quiet.
"Gulu..."
The bearded man seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own swallowing. At this moment, he was suddenly confused. He didn't know whether to continue moving forward or to evacuate here quickly?
The same is true for his companions. There are a lot of monsters in the passage. Has the human monk been killed by the monsters?
If this is the case, they must not enter the passage. What is the difference between that and seeking death?
Just as they were hesitating, a light suddenly appeared in the passage ahead like a tide, seeming to dispel all the darkness. A tall figure appeared in front of him, holding a long sword in his hand, and smelly blood was slowly dripping.
"Hurry up, how long do you have to wait for you?"
Tang Zhen said coldly, then turned and left.
With his heart beating wildly, the bearded adventurer quickly agreed and entered the passage with his companions.
They didn't go far when they smelled an indescribable fishy smell, which was the smell that only appeared after the monster was killed.
After seeing the scene ahead clearly, even though the bearded adventurer had a strong endurance, he still felt like vomiting.
The gourd-shaped passage in front is now filled with the remains of monsters. The ground is covered with broken limbs, colorful and squirming.
Because there were so many monsters killed, it was more than half a meter above the ground, and the ground was filled with smelly and sticky liquid.
“Ugh…”
Finally, some adventurers couldn't help it, bent over and vomited. They really couldn't bear such a disgusting scene.
The bearded adventurer frowned, but looked at the walls on both sides of the passage. On the deliberately recessed platform above, there were many jar-like things.
Some jars were broken, spilling out colorful gems and piles of historical demon gold coins.
“My God, there are so many treasures!”
After seeing these gold coins and gems, the bearded adventurer’s eyes shone, and his greed and joy for wealth had been dispelled. The fear in my heart.
With their feet stepping on the slippery and sticky ground, they rushed over quickly and put all the gems and gold coins into their leather pockets.
“It would be the best thing if all this wealth belongs to me. Then I can buy a lot of land, marry a lot of women, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day...”
< br>Adventurers can't help but have such fantasies in their hearts. Only those who are crazy about pursuing wealth know the meaning of these wealth.
“Put away your little thoughts, this wealth does not belong to us at all, but the devil that lures us into hell.
If you cannot control your greed, it is possible that Throw away your life, your Excellency can save us, but he can also kill us."
The bearded adventurer's voice sounded, startling the greedy adventurers, and then they broke out in cold sweat.
They were indeed greedy just now and wanted to swallow this wealth, but they forgot that until now, they still owed Tang Zhen his life.
If Tang Zhen discovers what they have done, who among themselves and his companions will be able to leave the ruins alive?
There are also rune airships in the sky above our heads, making it impossible to do so.
No matter how fast they run, they can still run faster than anything with wings. Even if they have two more legs, it will be in vain.
The adventurers who struggled out of greed breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looking at each other with a hint of joy in their eyes.
Fortunately, they woke up in time and were not deceived by wealth, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
As a result, at this moment, a trace of black air suddenly appeared on the gold coins and gems, gathering together to form a ferocious grimace.
Ghostface glanced at the adventurer with a cold gaze, let out a strange "Jie Jie" laugh, and then disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.
“Damn it, it turned out to be a curse of greed. Fortunately, even if we wake up, otherwise we would have died long ago!”
When the well-informed bearded man saw this, he immediately let out a cry of surprise, and at the same time thought of a trap in the ancient ruins.
The mage will use special means to cast a curse of greed on the treasure. Once the adventurer becomes obsessed with the wealth, he will eventually lose his life in a daze.
