I Have A City In An Alternate World

2486 The temptation of wealth (1)

Hidden in the crack under the tower, the smell of rot was so strong that people would subconsciously cover their noses to prevent vomiting.

The monster’s lair was indeed filthy, no different from a pig’s pen.

The environment was even dirtier, with bones and filth all over the ground, which should be the monster’s feces.

Fortunately, the space was very large, and it was not like this everywhere. Some places were still clean, only covered in dust.

More than a dozen coffin-like objects were rudely overturned on the ground, and their bones were thrown everywhere.

The surrounding walls were painted with strange and eerie patterns. Under the light of the fire, the people in the paintings seemed to be peeking, and a strange smile appeared on their lips.

A few huge rats were frightened by the fireballs and let out screeching screeches. They hid in a dark corner and looked at Tang Zhen and the others with brutal eyes.

The rats looked ferocious, but in fact, they were just food for the monsters. Otherwise, how could the monsters survive?

However, food could also become hunters. A few rats were gnawing on a monster’s corpse, which must have been killed by big beard and his men.

Tang Zhen was too lazy to bother with these rats. Instead, his gaze swept across the ground. As expected, there was a bright golden light flashing at the place where the footprints were left behind.

It was an ancient gold coin, a treasure hidden in the ruins. It was one of Tang Zhen’s targets.

The tip of the sword flicked, and a gold coin flew up and landed in his hand.

The simple and ancient design and the familiar texture proved that this was the real gold currency.

The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth revealed a smile. He felt that his luck was pretty good. He had actually encountered such a good thing along the way.

sure enough, there are traces to follow and not a completely unfamiliar world that makes one feel like there’s no way to start.

Tang Zhen used a faint tone to speak. He had already faintly guessed the origin of this world and could not help but sigh in his heart.

Compared to true experts, he was still far from being able to do so. Perhaps becoming a creator was just a new beginning?

“Sir, there are still a lot of gold coins in there, but there are also a lot of monsters!”

The bearded adventurer said as he pointed at the dark tunnel in front of him. There was a trace of fear on his face.

“Yes, I can feel it.”

Tang Zhen didn’t even turn his head as he walked forward. He had to personally go to the place where adventurers were afraid.

if you have nothing else to do, follow me and help me pick up the gold coins on the ground.

The adventurers didn’t hesitate. They quickly looked for the gold coins on the ground and put them into their leather bags.

With Tang Zhen clearing the area in front, they didn’t need to worry about encountering monsters. They just needed to pick up the gold coins.

At the same time, they had to prick up their ears and listen to the sounds in the passage to prevent any accidents from happening.

It didn’t take long for the monster’s roar to be heard, causing the bearded man and the others to shiver.

They subconsciously put on a vigilant posture, staring at the entrance of the passage to prevent monsters from rushing out.

However, after waiting for half a day, they still did not see the monster’s figure. Instead, the monster’s roars became softer and softer.

After a few minutes, all the sounds disappeared, and the surroundings were frighteningly quiet.

“Gulu, Gulu, Gulu.”

The bearded man seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own saliva. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little lost. He didn’t know whether to continue moving forward or to quickly leave this place.

It was the same for his companions. There were many monsters in the tunnel. Had the human cultivator been killed by the monsters?

If that was the case, they definitely couldn’t enter the passageway. What was the difference between that and seeking death?

Just as they were hesitating, light suddenly appeared in the passage ahead like a tide, seemingly driving away all the darkness.

A tall figure appeared in front of them. He held a long sword in his hand, and at this moment, stinky blood was slowly dripping down.

“Hurry up. How long do you want me to wait for you?”

Tang Zhen coldly said before turning around and leaving.

The bearded adventurer’s heart beat wildly. He quickly agreed and entered the passage with his companion.

After walking for a short distance, they smelled an indescribable stench. It was the smell of monsters after they were killed.

When he saw the scene in front of him, even though the bearded adventurer had a strong endurance, he still felt like vomiting.

The gourd-shaped passage in front of him was already filled with the remains of the monsters. The ground was covered with broken limbs and flesh, which were squirming in a colorful pattern.

Because they had killed too many monsters, they were more than half a meter above the ground, and the ground was covered with a stinky, sticky liquid.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh.”

In the end, some adventurers couldn’t take it anymore and bent over to vomit. They really couldn’t bear such a disgusting scene.

The bearded adventurer frowned, but his eyes looked at the walls on both sides of the passage. On the deliberately concave platform above, there were many can-shaped things.

Some of the jars were broken, and colorful gemstones and piles of ancient demonic gold coins flowed out.

“My God, there are so many treasures!”

After seeing the gold coins and gems, the bearded adventurer’s eyes lit up. His greed and joy for wealth had dispelled the fear in his heart.

Stepping on the wet and slimy ground, they quickly rushed over and put all the gemstones and gold coins into their leather bags.

if all this wealth belongs to me, it would be the best thing ever. By then, I can buy a lot of land, marry a lot of women, and eat all kinds of delicacies every day.

The adventurers couldn’t help but have such a fantasy in their hearts. Only those who crazily pursued wealth knew what this wealth represented.

“Put away your little thoughts. This wealth doesn’t belong to us at all. It’s a devil that’s luring us into hell.

If we can’t control our greed, we might lose our lives. That man can save us, but he can also kill us.”

The bearded adventurer’s voice rang out, causing the greedy adventurers to be shocked and break out in cold sweat.

They were indeed greedy earlier and wanted to swallow this fortune. However, they had forgotten that they still owed Tang Zhen a life.

If Tang Zhen were to discover what they had done, who would be able to leave the ruins alive, including himself and his companions?

There were still runic airships in the sky above their heads, making it impossible to get them.

No matter how fast they could run, they could not be faster than something with wings. Even if they had two legs, it would be useless.

The adventurers who had struggled out of their greed heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other with a hint of relief. The source of this content is ɴovelFɪre.net

Fortunately, they realized in time and were not tempted by wealth. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that moment, wisps of black gas suddenly emerged from the gold coins and gemstones, gathering to form a ferocious Ghost Face.

The ghostly face glanced at the adventurer with a cold gaze and let out a strange laugh. Then, it disappeared into thin air.

damn it, it’s actually the curse of greed. Fortunately, we realized it, otherwise, I’m afraid we would have been dead long ago!

The experienced and knowledgeable big beardy immediately exclaimed when he saw this. At the same time, he thought of a trap in the ancient ruins.

Mages would use special methods to cast the curse of greed on treasures. Once an adventurer was blinded by wealth, he would eventually lose his life in confusion.
