Chapter 318 - Dark Ancient Plant (2) (1/2)

Erick always did what he wanted to do and didn't care about the group. His teamwork was very poor. Not only that, he always blamed others when it was actually his fault. That was why Patricia didn't like him. Fortunately, there was the group's leader that tried to calm the situation down. However, now that the leader had died, no one could calm the situation.

”Just go, you cowards! F***, such a sissy.” Patricia explodes.

Patricia kept on cursing until Erick gone from her sight. It looked like the pungent smell didn't have any effect on her at the moment.

After Erick gone from her sight, Patricia was out of breath. Fortunately, there was Felice besides her, who calmed her down.

After a while, Patricia turned to the group and asked, ”So, do we fight?”

Patricia actually didn't really want to fight in the first place. However, she could not stand still facing Erick's bossy attitude. She just wanted to curse Erick. And, the chance came.

Auron looked at Patricia, surprised. Not only him, but Semial and Remus were surprise as well. The only one who didn't surprise was Felice, who knew her from a long time ago.

Right now, there were 7 people in the tunnel. There was Auron, Semial, and Remus. There was also Patricia and Felice. Meanwhile, the other two were a female archer and a male thief.

Patricia's question was faced with silence. None of them dared to voice the question. Auron was pondering for a while. A few seconds later, he said, ”Have you tried to attack the plant from the tunnel while there was someone inside the hall?”

”The plant should not be able to distinguish between the attack that came from the tunnel or inside the hall.” Auron continued.

”I guess that the reason the plant attacks the tunnel was because it could not sense any presence inside the hall, which made him conclude that the attack must be coming from the tunnel. Hence, it attacked the tunnel.”

Hearing Auron's reasoning, the other also pondered on what Auron had said. It made sense. The plant should have no intelligence. So, it could not distinguish an attack coming from the tunnel or inside the hall.

”It seems doable. However, who wanted to try it?” The female archer said.

That was the biggest concern. Who was the one who wanted to become the sacrificial lamb? Silence permeated the group once more.

Since no one volunteering, Auron raised his hand, ”Let me do it!”

As a mage, Auron had [Aqua Barrier], the life-saving skill that could hold one attack. However, that was not the source of Auron's confidence. The real source of Auron's courage was his deduction.

He had been playing this game for almost 10 years. From what Felice had explained, when there was someone inside the circular hall, the plant never attacked the tunnel.

”Let's try it. I will be the one who went inside the hall.” Semial said.
