Alien world

Chapter 376 34. Layer of Ashes

The generous Annan distributed a...silver coin to his fellows.

The reason is that they need money at all times.

They didn't say anything, after all Annan could have given nothing.

Annan asked Alice and the others to continue to search the mayor's manor.The rich students of Gwin College don't care, but Annan does.

Some of the food scattered in the hall was still intact, but Annan was not sure whether it could still be eaten. "Are you hungry?" Annan asked, everyone shook their heads.

Even if they are very hungry, they don't want to eat the food here...

"Then let's talk about it on the upper floor."

Who knows if some kind of tail or second head will grow from eating these things.

"Do we really want to hunt other colleges?" Amy asked as she hid far away and rummaged through the mayor's pocket with her long hands. "Doing this will get Saltz College into trouble..."

"How big is the Tatum Empire?" Annan asked him.

"It's... very big. It will take up one-fifth of the area on the World Island."

"With such a big empire, the nearest academy is hundreds of miles away from us, so they don't have that much free time... and as long as they win the championship, the dean and vice-principal will take care of everything."

Amy was still hesitating, so Annan had no choice but to tell him, "This is actually the arrangement of the vice president."

"……is that so?"

Amy raised her head in astonishment and bumped into Annan's mysterious black eyes: "We will think of snatching the golden invitation letter, and those colleges will too. Maybe we are a step too late. If we are just foolishly searching for the golden invitation letter in the bottom nest, those plundered The invitation letters from other colleges will surpass ours by several times..."

"I...I understand." Amy strengthened her confidence, "I will help you get the top ten!"

"not us."

Alice came back after they searched.The good news is that a treasure chest full of coins was found, but the bad news is that most of the coins are silver coins, with only a few gold coins mixed with some smelted gold grains—they should be the main currency in the Bottom Nest.

The little rat girl was still awake, so Annan packed some food and sent it to the old witch doctor.

Annan thought that the old witch doctor knew something, and his behavior all told ancient secrets.

"This meteorite from the dead world has brought a curse... It is sinking... We are inside it..." The old witch doctor accepted Annan's gift, and opened his mouth with dirty yellow teeth: "After becoming Before it... left..."

"We won't be here for long," Annan replied.

Bottom Hive was oppressive, and the longer they stayed, the more uncomfortable they got, and they only spent three hours here before they started missing the sky.

But for the bottom hive people who were born and raised here, a good life is more important than anything else.

Gray Wolf said that he wanted to stay, and looked frequently at the mayor's manor in the distance.It left an indelible impression on him...

As a result, they were attacked by wild dogs, and the two of them fought like wild beasts on the streets of Dark Lamp Town.Dingo said he was stupid, that the upper floors were better, and there were fewer curses.Gray Wolf said that he was ignorant, that he would fall down if he couldn't survive on the upper floors, so it would be better to have a town.

After the fight, Gray Wolf saluted Annan and the others awkwardly, and walked towards the mayor's manor without looking back.

Bottom Nest's strength is limited, at least there are no elites in Dark Lantern Town—or they were cleared out by Gwen Academy.The Gray Wolves should be able to stay in town for a while, as long as they don't run into players like Gwen Academy again.

Theophilus satirized Gray Wolf as a short-sighted man who lost his only chance to return to the surface.

The wild dogs who want to go to the upper level therefore work harder.

"Where is the closest way to the upper floors?" Annan asked.

The wild dog said that it was only half a day away, and the ladder was controlled by the Queen Ant stronghold, and they had to search it first if they wanted to go up.

"The ant queen?" Annan asked suddenly, and then a familiar sense of staring emerged.

"Why are you looking at me like that? This kind of stronghold must have a golden invitation letter. I can smell the golden invitation letter...and the gold itself."

Alice looked away.

"Are there no more searches on the Dawn Level?" Theophilus asked.

"It's too big here."

It takes half a day to get from Dark Light Town to the nearest upper passage... The competition for the bottom nest is only one day in total.

"Are there any other gathering places on the way to the queen's stronghold?" Annan asked the wild dog.

The wild dog shook his head: "But it's not far, the nobles just need to take a slight detour..."

"never mind."

It's better to guard other colleges in the queen's stronghold.

"Where's the little girl?" Alice lifted her up.

"Go ahead and take her."

Annan picked up the little rat-man girl from Alice's back. She was not awake yet, but her breathing returned to normal.

There were no mounts in Dark Lantern Town, so they used the Light Feather Technique to drive on the road, and asked the wild dogs for information on the third-to-last floor on the way.

The third to last layer is the Ash layer.It sounds hopeful that there is no dawn layer, but the environment there is really not good... Its upper layer is the waste incineration site of the imperial capital, and the burnt ashes sink and seep into the ash layer, so that there are snowflakes of ashes floating there all day long.

"Then why isn't it called the snowflake layer?"

No one answered him, and the Dingo didn't know the answer.

Two hours later, they approached a stronghold made of planks and stones, with many skeletons piled up at the corners. In the stronghold, a simple circular staircase went deep into the ash layer along the rock pillar.

There was no movement in the Queen Ant's stronghold, but they saw a few corpses poured out of the open door.

"We're late again." Theophilus shrugged.

Annan entered the queen's stronghold without commenting.

The corpses lying everywhere have long since cooled down, and the blood has also solidified, and there are no living people in the entire stronghold.And their injuries showed that it was not the School of Magic that attacked them.

Also because those guys didn't have the pride of a mage at all, the stronghold was searched clean, even if there was a golden invitation letter, they were also searched.

However, it also proved Annan's conjecture: the Golden Invitation Letter and other colleges are moving up.

"Go straight up."

Annan stopped wasting time and stepped up the steps first.

Round and round along the rock pillar, when it was about three or four meters above the ground, Alice suddenly grabbed him, then picked up a stone and threw it forward.

The spell trap was activated, and a pair of invisible hands pushed the stone out of the steps.

"A mischievous hand, a nasty little trap..." Alice said.

You can't fall to death at this height, but it's okay to break a leg.

"Aren't they warriors?" Annan asked the resentful Theophilus to walk in front.

"Maybe it was the second wave of people who did it."

They are the third wave.

But there was only one trap, and there were no more accidents until I approached the top of the rock.

Theophilus reached the third-to-last floor, and Annan and the others followed them onto the ashes floor.

The "snowflakes" that greeted them fell from the sky, pale under the light.A contestant stretched out his hand and watched the "snowflakes" fall on his fingertips. With a slight twist, they turned into black ash, and the same black snow spread into the depths of the dark space.

So here is not called the snowflake layer.
