CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: MYSTERIOUS SHOP

Kane and the others stood by and watched all the actions of the burly man without any intention to disturb.

As the burly man turned into a faint starlight and disappeared.

"Alas, the final farewell gift."

"What do you mean?"

Regarding the burly man’s actions just now, and why he disappeared, Kane, Meizike, and Lilulu were somewhat confused.

It was just that the atmosphere just now instinctively made them feel that it was best not to disturb such behavior.

Kreya looked at the puzzled people beside her and explained: "He just disappeared because he gave up being an Explorer. That was the Mist’s final farewell gift to him.

When an Explorer no longer wishes to be one deep down for some reason, the Mist will send him out of the Dungeon, and he will never be able to enter any Dungeon again."

At this moment, Longbei walked over and picked up the 4 Teleportation Scrolls and a bag of Mist coins that the burly man had left on the ground and handed them to Kane.

The use of the Teleportation Scroll has requirements; you need to stand still, reopen the Scroll, and wait for 30 seconds to teleport away. It was obvious that the Explorer team just now did not meet such conditions.

After receiving the items handed over by Longbei, Kane asked, "What does these things he left mean?"

"Sigh," Longbei sat down on the ground: "These things are to thank us for being willing to save him and to hope that we won’t dig up his comrade’s grave to strip off the Equipment from the corpse.

After all, except for trophies, Explorers cannot take anything that does not belong to them out of the Dungeon, and this includes the corpse of an Explorer who died in the Dungeon."

"I see."

Kane looked at the inconspicuous grave.

Except for Longbei, their team had never seen such a scene before, not even seen unusual Explorers die in front of them, which somewhat shocked them.

It made them ponder.

"Oh, friends, don’t be scared by such scenes. We walk between death and beauty. When you are about to fall into death, I will pull you towards beauty, hahaha..."

Longbei’s words and hearty laughter brought a knowing smile to everyone.

"Alright, now let’s go check out our spoils."

After speaking, Kane walked toward where the Skeleton Giant fell.

Arriving at the place where the Skeleton Giant turned to dust, he cleared away the rubble and swept away a pile of dust.

The death of the Skeleton Giant brought Kane and them three Magic Items.

Kane picked up the three items and examined them carefully.

One was a moderate amount of Magic Materials, and the other was a Magic Money Bag.

Kane opened the Magic Money Bag, which contained 11 Mist coins. Speaking of it, since clearing the [Crystal’s Arena], Kane and they basically hadn’t obtained any more Mist coins.

He placed the Magic Money Bag into the communal Space Equipment.

The last Magic Item was an embossed card with a skeleton head decoration. Apart from various patterns, there was no text.

[Skeleton Treasure Card]

[Souvenirs]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Durable]

[Skills: Guidance] (When a certain location or item is set, a guidance sign will appear when within a certain range.)

[Introduction: A mysterious Skeleton Mage wandering in various Undead Dungeons. He seems to own many collections. When you are in a Dungeon with his shop, this card will react. If you don’t have the card’s guidance, you’ll only have to rely on luck.]

Kane looked at the card in his hand, which showed an arrow prominently. No matter how Kane rotated it, it always pointed in one direction.

So, in that direction, there’s the Skeleton Mage mentioned above, equivalent to a mysterious merchant?

Kreya, watching Kane stare at the card for a long time, couldn’t help but ask: "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with that thing?"

"It seems to be a card that can guide us to some mysterious shop. Do you know about this thing?"

Kreya indeed knew about things like mysterious shops.

"Such things as mysterious shops exist in many Dungeons, but this requires a certain amount of luck, and the shop doesn’t necessarily bring everything good for Explorers."

After hearing Kreya’s answer, Kane nodded, then asked everyone: "So what do you think? Shall we follow the guidance to take a look first?"

In this case, Longbei certainly wouldn’t refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

Neither Meizike nor Kreya had any objections, and as for Lilulu, she was already all excited.

Since everyone had decided, they just needed to follow the arrow’s guidance to move forward.

Because Longbei’s shield-holding hand was injured, Kreya took the lead instead.

Following the arrow’s guidance forward, they didn’t encounter any Skeleton Soldiers on the way. It might be because the sound waves from the Skeleton Giant just now gathered all the Skeleton Soldiers in the surrounding area.

Without any monsters, Kane and the others enjoyed the peace throughout the journey.

However, along the way, they could see that the surrounding tombstones and stones had signs of destruction. Coupled with the large footprints on the road, it was basically confirmed that the Skeleton Giant wasn’t always there but rather chased the Explorer team all the way to the previous location.

The result was determined that in the end, they didn’t escape but were surrounded.

Following the arrow all the way forward.

They hadn’t walked far before they saw an open space in the distance, with a temple leading to the next level right in the middle.

However, there was no small leader guarding the entrance on the open ground, but from the marks on the ground and the strange sunken stone blocks next to the open space, it could be seen that the monster guarding the entrance should be the Skeleton Giant they just killed.

Kane and the others came to the outside of the temple.

At this moment, Meizike suddenly said, "On the ground, anti-invisibility smoke."

Upon hearing Meizike’s words, Kane suddenly understood.

It seems that the Explorer team wanted to continue their previous behavior of sneaking invisible inside, but they were discovered.

Then they were chased all the way.

Although they had found the temple, the arrow was still pointing forward.

They had already found the entrance to the next level, so there was no need to rush. The current goal was to first see what the so-called mysterious shop was all about.

Through the open space where the temple was located.

Not far away was a strange, sinister forest, with various glowing plants entwined, casting jagged shadows on the ground.

Dreamlike, bizarre.

The arrow still pointed into the forest.

Kane activated Eagle Eye, carefully scouting the environment in the forest, leading his teammates slowly deeper into the woods.

A rough stone wall appeared deep in the forest, with a deep tunnel in the center. Looking through the tunnel, there seemed to be a faint glow of fire inside.

It seems that the arrow’s guided location is inside the tunnel.
