"Okay, I don't want to deceive you." Panis shook his head and said, "I really don't think goblins have the ability to build a research institute here. My thoughts were too naive before, and underestimated the harshness of the environment here. Now it seems that if you want to build a research center here, especially in the area below the eighth floor, even the gods and people cannot do it, let alone the goblins in the Silver Age."

Vivian pursed her lips and smiled calmly. She raised her arms and gently stroked Panis's expressionless face with her unconscious palms. She said seriously: "Thank you for not comforting me with lies. I had made up my mind. If you deceive me, even if I know you are kind-hearted, I will not say anything from my heart to you for the rest of my time."

"Don't rush to thank me first, wait until I finish speaking before making a decision." Pannis gently patted Vivian's head, making her squint her eyes comfortably, looking like a curled kitten: "Although I don't think they may have established a research center here, I don't think the research center does not exist. Yes, you heard it right, they have no ability, but the research center still exists here, and until now, I still believe in this."

"Don't you think your words are contradictory?" Vivian smiled helplessly, but she didn't even know that. Her heart was as contradictory as what Panis said. She thought she had given up and thought it was easy, but she ignored the little bit of expectation and excitement in her heart after hearing Panis's serious words.

"Contradiction? Maybe it sounds like that." Pennis shrugged: "But you have to learn to believe in a demigod's intuition."

"This is so stupid." Vivian rolled her eyes with a laugh and cry: "What the hell do you want to say?"

"Actually, after I entered the Earth Trace, I was thinking all the way." Panis stopped joking and said seriously: "There must be something that I did, no, no. It was something we didn't expect. Only by finding this blind spot in our minds can we successfully find the research center. Although goblins often have crazy ideas, I think they are not crazy enough to joke on the most important password disk of their entire clan, so the existence of this research center does not need to be questioned. Then the next thing we need to consider is the problems hidden outside our thinking."

"What's the problem?" Vivian became interested and sat up suddenly. If Penis hadn't been dodging quickly, he would have almost hit his chin: "What do you think it would have to do with? Is there any scope?"

"If I knew what was related to it now, this question would not have been ignored." Panis shook his head and said helplessly: "But give me some more time and believe me. I will definitely be able to solve the mystery."

"Okay, okay, then I'll give you some more time. I'm not expecting you, I just promised to give you time when you beg you." Vivian narrowed her big eyes and said with a smile: "How about it, do you look like Lina's stupid sometimes? I think I'm imitating it so vividly."

"Be careful that she will pinch your face again when she finds out." Panis imitated Catherine's appearance, poked Vivian's slightly pale face deep in his index finger. He said jokingly: "And then when you two start to make a fuss, Catherine beats you one by one, and you both will be honest by then."

"I'm not afraid of them." Vivian said, not afraid, but she secretly glanced at the sleeping girls: "Okay, you fool once again successfully ignited my hope, hoping that I won't be cruelly taken away again this time. Huh, maybe you can have a good sleep tonight, the air here is so comfortable."

"Get a good rest, give me a few more days to think about it. I will definitely find the problem and solve it." Panis leaned back on the wall, looking at Vivian with his arms pillowing to get up briskly. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised towards his blanket. Just as she had just taken a few steps, Panis's ears moved, and suddenly his face changed. He jumped up and rushed to Vivian's side, pressing her body to squat down again, looking cautiously at the deep entrance of the eighth floor. In fact, the place where the six people rested was wrapped in various magic circles. No sound, image or smell would be transmitted to the outside world, but Panis still stopped Vivian from continuing to walk, fearing that the ground vibration caused by his footsteps would be perceived by the outside world.

"What's going on? Are there any enemies?" Vivian leaned into Pannis' ear, and the breath from his mouth gently hit Pannis's face, and asked in a faint voice: "Are there creatures coming up from the lower layer?"

"Yeah, there's something." Panis nodded, his eyes never left the deep entrance for a moment, and replied in an equally slight voice: "There is only one, and it's not big. It seems to be a monster coming to the lower level for food, but..."

"But what?" Vivian asked in a low voice, "Is there anything that makes you strange?"

"Maybe it will surprise you." Panis said with a smile, "When you see it, I'm afraid you will be as happy as seeing your loved ones, hehehehe."

"It's so annoying." Vivian hit Panis' chest with her elbow, rolling her eyes and said, "What's so strange about it? Tell me quickly. Fortunately, it's not Lina, otherwise you would have teased her curiosity so much, and it would have hit you not the arm but the hammer."

"It sounds really cruel. You have no other teammates before. Is it because you are so scary that other teammates have been beaten to death by you?" Panis teased and suddenly pointed at the entrance of the eighth floor with his chin: "Note, it is coming out soon. When you see it, you can understand what I meant just now."

Curiosity aroused by Pannis's words, Vivian stared at the slightly dark entrance to the eighth floor. The entrance to the eighth floor was a gentle ramp that hovered downward, and the ramp was flat and clean, just like someone was cleaning every day. But it was obvious that it was impossible for someone to clean it. The biggest possibility was that water flowed through here often. Although Vivian was very focused, strangely, she did not hear the footsteps of the monster at all. If she had not had absolute trust in Pannis' perception ability, she would even doubt whether there was no monster at all in the passage.

Fortunately, she didn't wait too long, and a monster climbed up from the eighth floor with silent steps. When she saw this monster, Vivian's eyes suddenly widened and almost cheered and jumped in place. What slipped up from the lower layer was a monster the size of a black bear. Her strong muscles were quite strong, her short and thick limbs made the center of gravity very stable, and her thick fat and fur provided a high enough defense and impact absorption function. Her neck, which was thirty centimeters long, was extremely flexible, allowing the head to be flipped 360 degrees. Its head was the most distinctive, with its thickness almost as thick as the neck.

Likewise, it is difficult to distinguish where the neck is and where the head is. On the small head is a pointed mouth that looks like a bird's beak. The pointed mouth is composed of keratinized skin and looks quite hard. There are two raised sharp horny blades on the outer side of the upper and lower jaws, like two crowbars, which look like a prying open the hard shells of many insects. When it opens its mouth, you can see that the inside of the keratinized pointed mouth is neatly arranged with sharp teeth. If you bite such a mouth, it is probably not as simple as losing a piece of meat.

"It's actually not a bug." Vivian opened her eyes in surprise and said happily: "I finally don't have to mingle with those disgusting giant insects every day. Oh my God, this is so happy. I should celebrate it well. No, I want to call them all up and share this good news with them. But what kind of animal is this? Why is it so strange?"

"Don't run around for now, what if it can sense the vibration of the ground?" Panis embraced Vivian's impulse and whispered: "I have never seen such creatures before. Maybe they are creatures from ancient times. Looking at their mouths, they seem to survive by eating insects. I don't know if this has been the case since before, or if they have slowly changed to their current appearance after entering the ground of the Earth Trace."

The monster obviously didn't hear their conversation. He had a bear-like cushion on his feet, climbing up from the lower layer quietly. He first poked his head out of the passage, turned his flexible neck and looked around for a while, but did not find anything wrong. Then he crawled out of the passage, raised his head and sniffed it in the air for a while, and looked at the barrier near the campground strangely, as if he had smelled some residual smell. However, it didn't care very much. After confirming that there was no enemy situation, it moved its short and thick legs and moved its body to the depths of the seventh layer, as if it was preparing to use delicious giant insects to fill its empty digestive system.

"Huh." Vivian did not breathe a sigh of relief until the strange monster walked away and said excitedly: "Does there be no more bugs below from here? Most of them are such normal monsters?"

"According to Ike's statement, this should be true." Panis nodded and said, "Most of the following are beasts."

"It's great. I heard two good news in a row tonight. I hope I can still sleep." Although Vivian was very happy and couldn't wait to share her happiness with the girls, she had not lost her mind to wake up the other girls. She smiled happily and waved to Panis: "I'll go back to sleep first, good night, and thank you."

Panis sat down against the wall again and waved his fingers indifferently.
