Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 153 The Banshee Leads the Way

"My soul is getting weaker and weaker. It may not be long before I lose my mind completely like the madman in the cave."

"When that time comes, this 'negative' me will probably disappear. I will try to commit suicide when I can't hold on any longer, but to be honest, I don't want to die yet." Spike's eyes were a little dazed, but he still insisted on finishing his words.

"Of course, if you really don't want to take care of this matter, that's fine - I know this may be difficult - then please give me a quick death. I feel like there's fire burning in my body right now, and it's really uncomfortable."

"Then it looks like you'll have to hold it in for a while longer," Ron stood up. "I think we'd better go in and take a look."

"Are you sure?" Victoria hesitated. "Isn't this a little dangerous?"

"It's indeed dangerous. If we go in like this, we might end up like Wilson and the others," Ron nodded, "so we should be more cautious."

"Your stuff might separate the body and the soul, so why don't we find one that can't be separated and go in first to see what's going on?"

Both Spikes were tied securely to a nearby tree. Ron and his team temporarily set up camp here, while Driver was entrusted to go deep into the delusion land. They had to ask a "person" for help.

a few days later.

"Is this the place?" You floated above the waterfall. "You need me to go in and find those people, right?"

“Alive or dead, it doesn’t matter. But when you get out, please tell us why they are trapped, or why they died.”

"I see." The enchantress nodded. "Can you ask someone to cast some magic on me? I'm... a little scared."

"And if something happens to me, your magic won't work and you'll be able to sense it, right?"

Everyone felt that what You said made sense, so after a simple spell, You, with the triple protection spell, slowly sank under the waterfall.

A little mouse was driven by Driver to jump into the waterfall, and found a platform there to stand firmly, as a fourth safety measure. It also served as You's mouthpiece, conveying what it saw and heard inside to Ron and the others.

"There was a tripwire at the door, but it has been removed," Driver sat in the middle of the crowd with his eyes closed, relaying the banshee's words to everyone, "There are some other traps that she doesn't recognize, but they have basically been destroyed. It seems that Wilson has a skilled wanderer."

"Wilson himself was a thief," said the short Spike who was tied to the tree, "there's nothing strange about that."

The tall man is completely offline. Although he still looks alive, according to Sylvia's professional investigation, this individual is no different from a dead person.

In her words: Even the blood stinks.

"There were some opened treasure chests and scattered gold coins along the way," Driver spoke again, "and there was also a Mimic disguised as a treasure chest that was killed in the cave, with an arm in its mouth."

"It was a soldier in our team," Spike sighed, "I sounded the warning, but it was too late."

As she went deeper into You, she could see more and more corpses of various monsters, including three ghost fires. However, they had been completely killed now, and all that was left were three empty skulls.

And further inside...

"A soldier, missing an arm." After Driver said that, Ron and the others saw Spike's surprised expression for the first time. "How did he die? Can you tell me in detail?"

"I'm sorry, Driver can't hear you now." Ron spread his hands. The goblins' hearing and vision were all on the mouse, so it was useless for them to say anything.

"Well, she said she found them, at least three, no four," Driver spoke again.

"They were trapped in a water prison and were very weak. Two of them were spirits, and the other two were real people."

"Oh, she said she saw Spike's spirit, short and thin - it seems ours is real."

"She said that something was watching over them, but she couldn't see it. I don't know if it was because she was an undead creature, but she couldn't see the faces of those creatures. There was only a black smoke above their necks."

"Every once in a while, they would extract Wilson and his souls and throw them into a large furnace. After about ten minutes, a new creature would emerge from it."

"I don't think I understand what she said. I'll try to control the mouse over there, see if I can - ah!"

Driver sat down on the ground as if he was suddenly awakened, and his beast sense was instantly cut off.

"What's going on?" Sera was close by and quickly helped him up. "Are you exposed?"

"I don't know," Driver was stunned for half a minute before he came to his senses, "I don't know if I was exposed."

"I saw that lunatic Spike was talking about, Sera. Do you remember that bandit you scared off when we took out the Carolina Trading Post?"

"It's him?"

"That's him!" Driver said confidently, "He didn't even change his clothes, but he looked old and crazy."

"My mouse was trying to slip away from him, but he suddenly looked at me, and then a burst of flames scorched the mouse!"

"It's really strange," You also flew out from under the waterfall at this time, "Did you receive any contact? Everyone in here has covered their faces with black smoke, I can't see anything!"

"The same thing with that lunatic?"

"Madman, what madman?" You was stunned for a moment, then immediately denied, "I didn't see any madman, but I did see a human-shaped fireball! It went through my body and burned the rat of Driver."

"I didn't see any other details. Maybe you can only find it by yourselves." You floated to Ron's side regretfully.

"Oh, and you better be careful. This barrier on my body that protects against evil has been flashing before, but nothing else has reacted."

Although You Ken himself might not need this, this suggestion could be life-saving for Ron and the others. They no longer hesitated, and Ron took out three copies of the Protection from Evil scrolls he had written and distributed them.

The only thing he had done in the past two days was to make scrolls using the ink-free pen in the green dragon's lair, which finally came in handy.
