"Let's take a rest." Berry seemed to have guessed everyone's thoughts and said calmly: "Let's discuss what to do next."
When everyone sat together, Bury stared at the invisible darkness at the end of the corridor, thoughtfully. There was only the crackling sound of torches in the entire corridor.
After a long time, Bury suddenly spoke: "I'm a little strange." Everyone was attracted by his meaningless words. Of course, the leader Bury would not talk nonsense. If he said it was strange, then he must have encountered some problem. . Everyone was silent, just watching Berry silently, waiting for him to express the questions in his heart.
Bury took out the map, spread it on the ground, then pointed to a corner of the map and said, "Look."
Everyone's eyes followed Bury's hand, and they saw that the originally clear corner of the map was blurry. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that two passages were repeatedly drawn together. This is really surprising to everyone. Although the map that Burry drew before is not exquisite, it can be regarded as accurate. After all, he has more than ten years of adventure experience and knows the importance of an accurate map to adventurers. , now there are actually two channels overlapping. With Bury's carefulness, it is absolutely impossible to make such a mistake.
Bury spoke slowly, and it was obvious that every word he said was carefully considered: "I was thinking about this issue two days ago. According to the map I drew before, and the journey we walked these two days, Line, we should return here." Bury pointed to a certain point on the map with his hand and continued: "We have walked there, and I also left a mark with a dagger."
Ryan didn't say anything. He saw with his own eyes that every time Burry walked along a corridor, he used a dagger to carve an arrow to indicate the direction of his travel. But now Bury's words indicate that there is a problem with what he has done before, which makes Ryan very puzzled.
Burry continued: "But the places we passed in the past two days coincided with the passages we passed before, but I couldn't find any marks left by myself. I have been thinking about this issue and recalled it many times. , to make sure I didn’t remember wrongly or draw the wrong map.”
Barry took a breath and carefully expressed his guess: "If you combine the experiences of the past two days, haven't you noticed, the traps we have lifted in these two days far exceed the sum of the previous few days. And the scale and power are even more incomparable.”
"Yes, yes!" Tedion nodded quickly. He had had enough of this ten-step-one-trap situation in the past two days.
"Based on the above, if my guess is correct, we have now entered the lower level of this tomb."
"Lower level?" Daphne couldn't help but repeat Burry's words.
"That is to say," Ryan expressed Bury's conjecture: "We found the passage to the main tomb inadvertently?"
Berry didn't speak, but nodded firmly.
"Awesome!" Tedion, who was young after all, cheered immediately: "The hard work these days has paid off, we will definitely..." Tedion's voice became smaller and smaller because he saw Berry's face. Not only was there no smile, but an expression full of helplessness.
"Perhaps we are close to our destination," Bury reluctantly asked the last question: "But our supplies are almost gone. We have to return the same way here. Even if it goes very smoothly, it will still take a day. Our Supplies, less than two days left.”
This news obviously made everyone very unwilling, but no one could think of a way out. The high-intensity and high-density traps in the past few days have put the Six Arrows Mercenary Group into a dilemma.
Let's move on. Daphne, the only thief in the group who can search and disarm traps, is already exhausted physically and mentally. The others are not familiar with these at all and can't help her. Moreover, the team's supplies are insufficient and the Six Arrows mercenary group is not allowed to stay. Time to rest.
Let's just retreat. To be honest, everyone is unwilling to do so. The treasure may be right in front of us, and maybe the door to the main tomb is just around the corner in front of the corridor. Giving up at this time is really unacceptable.
More importantly, the tomb is far away in the mountains. If you want to leave here and return to the nearest city for rest, the round trip alone will take more than ten days. Next time you come back, for the sake of safety, you will have to hire another tomb. Thieves who can search for traps and disarm them are not easy to find. Maybe when everyone comes back here, it will be more than a month later. Who knows what will happen after such a long time
In the past few days, the group leader Berry has been thinking about this issue. After weighing it again and again, he still had the intention to leave. As the group leader, he has to be responsible for the entire group. He would rather return empty-handed or even lose a lot of gold coins. There must be no more casualties. Wasn’t the lesson learned last time enough
Berry looked into everyone's eyes and expressed his decision in a calm tone: "Go back, leave here, and go to the nearest city to rest!"
"No!" Daphne jumped up. Burry's words made her completely forget her fatigue. Daphne said loudly: "No, never! We are about to succeed, why..."
"Can you guarantee that you will find and open the main tomb door before the supplies run out?"
"No, but..."
"Daphne, calm down!"
"No, Berry. We still have a chance, we shouldn't give up like this!"
"I am responsible for everyone's safety!"
"Just hold on a little longer!"
…
Daphne and Bury had a fierce dispute. Both of them had their own positions and reasons, and no one could convince the other. The quiet corridor suddenly became noisy, especially Daphne's sharp voice, which spread far and wide along the corridor, and faint echoes were heard.
The other members hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her. Daphne pushed away Tedion who was trying to persuade her, and said angrily: "Go away, don't block it." Then she said to Bury: "Captain Bury, although you are a servant Commander of the Corps, but I still stand by my opinion.”
Berry looked at the persistent Daphne, sighed, and said, "Then let's vote."
After hearing what Berry said, Daphne said loudly: "Okay! There may be a trap or a treasure ahead. How will you know if you don't fight?"
"There are now seven people in our group. Whether we continue to move forward or retreat, each person can only choose one and cannot abstain." Bury looked helplessly at the stubborn Daphne and said the voting method: "I agree with the move to continue moving forward." Raise your left hand, and those preparing to retreat raise your right hand.”
Before Barry finished speaking, Daphne was the first to raise her left hand. Although she was not willing to give up just like that because of her persistent personality, in fact, Barry was not really willing to give up like this, even if it was only temporary. But last time, two people were injured due to recklessness, which made Bury have to worry. Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Bury would rather spend a lot of gold coins to hire Ryan and Dennis. He also proposed when he was in a dilemma. gave up, albeit temporarily.
Bury looked at Daphne, and he thought of the dead Angus. Their personalities were exactly the same, but it was a pity. "Alas" Bury sighed secretly, and slowly raised his right hand.
