Chapter 212 New Dungeon Map
Chapter 212 New Dungeon Map
Feeling the warmth of the hand placed on his forehead, Wen Yuanzheng remained silent for a few seconds.
He suddenly remembered that Corren seemed to have always said that people possessed by evil spirits would be mentally unstable, lose their appetite, and mutter incomprehensible words, but he never said that they would become living dead.
Wen Yuan was contemplating suicide, wondering how he could continue playing the role of the arrogant dragon.
He wanted to say something more to Yan Xun to salvage his image as a resourceful strategist, but then he saw Qin Ke, who was lying on the ground, open his eyes. He stared at him and Yan Xun, not knowing how long he had been silently listening.
"When did you wake up?" Wen Yuanzheng asked. "You startled me."
“Just now,” Qin Ke said.
Just as Wen Yuan was about to say, "You're quite the intimidator," Qin Ke asked Yan Xun, "Didn't the crew notice you?"
Yan Xun didn't answer, so Qin Ke continued to ask, "Could it be that the legend of the evil spirit has always been a lie told to us by the crew?"
“Definitely!” Wen Yuanzheng said. “If they weren’t lying to us, how could they dare to go up to the deck in the middle of the night and do such a bad thing?”
As he spoke, he felt he had gained the upper hand—he had been worried that destroying the amulet at night would lead to possession by an evil spirit, but now that he knew the legend of the evil spirit was false, Wen Yuanzheng immediately relaxed a lot.
"But..." Qin Ke still seemed a little doubtful, "Weren't the players from that day killed in the cabin?"
He looked at Yan Xun and Wen Yuanzheng, "We both saw it. That person looked terrified, as if he had seen something particularly frightening."
Wen Yuanzheng, reminded by this, also thought of the first player who died.
The other player died inside the cabin, which was as cold as if an evil spirit had been there. The dead player's expression was terrified, as if he died of fear.
His roommate was later discovered to be a heretic and was thrown into the Sea of Evil by Coron and the others.
"Could it be that the legend of the evil spirits isn't just a myth?" Wen Yuanzheng muttered to himself again. He looked at Yan Xun and Qin Ke, swallowed nervously, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yan Xun: "..."
Qin Ke: "..."
Neither of them expected Wen Yuanzheng to react this way.
Qin Ke glanced at Wen Yuanzheng, who had fallen asleep immediately, then looked at Yan Xun, "Should we wake him up?"
"Need not."
Yan Xun said that even if they went to call Wen Yuanzheng now, he would probably just pretend to be dead.
"I've made another discovery, which you can exchange for with points or items."
Wen Yuan was listening intently when Qin Ke asked curiously, "What did you discover?"
Is it important?
"The crew will throw players off the Terror to feed the fish in the middle of the night. I'm providing this information for free," he told Qin Ke and Wen Yuanzheng. "The second piece of information will only be more important than the first."
"Perhaps it relates to the secrets of Mission 2."
"You can choose to change it or not."
Wen Yuanzheng opened his eyes again at this moment, "I can also exchange an intelligence with you."
Yan Xun knew he was most likely going to talk about Lan Jin's information, so Yan Xun shook his head, "I only want to exchange points or items."
Wen Yuanzheng didn't have many points or items. Although he called himself a dragon overlord, he had only been rated A-level before in order to hide his strength, so the rewards for passing the level were not very good...
"I have a dungeon map, I wonder if you'd be interested."
Wen Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "That dungeon doesn't seem to be very difficult, probably between D and C level. Judging from the hints, it seems to be more of a rule-based supernatural tale."
"Once you enter this instance, you can at least be assured that the next instance won't be too difficult."
After advancing, the level of dungeons assigned to players by the system will also increase. If you were lucky enough to get a D-level vacation dungeon before advancing, after one advancement, the dungeon type assigned by the system will be at least C-level. After a second advancement, the minimum level of the dungeon will also increase.
Wen Yuanzheng had always thought that Yan Xun was currently undergoing a second advancement, so this instance map was perfect for Yan Xun.
Yan Xun was actually quite doubtful of his luck. Even if he entered a D-level dungeon, it could turn into an A+ dungeon... However, he was still a little curious and asked Wen Yuanzheng, "What's the dungeon called?"
"A happy and joyful family."
Wen Yuanzheng said, "This is a reward from one of my previous dungeon runs."
"I don't have anything else to exchange."
Yan Xun thought about it and felt that he didn't really need the dungeon map. Just as he was about to refuse, the green dinosaur started jumping around in his mind again, saying that he could accept the dungeon.
Yan Xun: "..."
"No? How come you can accept any dungeon?"
"How many pieces did Gui Yuchong break into? Why is he in every dungeon?"
The dinosaur struggled to reach for its claws, [but did it really exist?!]
Yan Xun was too lazy to argue with it. Seeing that Wen Yuan was still waiting for his reply, he simply nodded and agreed to the exchange.
Seeing that Wen Yuanzheng's exchange had been completed, Qin Ke became somewhat anxious, "I have a protective talisman."
"You might find it useful."
"..." Yan Xun felt a chill run down his spine when he heard the word "amulet." He was terrified that Qin Ke would pull out an angel statue from his pants and give it to him.
"What is it?" he asked, feigning composure.
“A wooden amulet,” Qin Ke said. “I’ve been to a dungeon that’s like an ancient world. This amulet is a totem that the locals believe in. They say that if you throw it into the fire and burn it, you will receive divine protection.”
"They say this god is very powerful, but the system judges it to be only an A-grade item."
The meaning of an A-level item is that this god is probably just a monster with some magical power, not a real god.
Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as he had been worried that Qin Ke would not even bother acting and would simply pull out an angel statue.
"Where is it?"
"It's in my pants pocket," Qin Ke said.
Yan Xun: "..."
Qin Ke looked at Yan Xun shyly, "It's not very convenient for me right now that my hands are tied."
"Haha!" Wen Yuan gloated from the side, "Luckily, I put it in my system inventory."
As he spoke, he asked the system to take the map out for him and throw it on the ground.
Yan Xun suspected that Qin Ke was playing a trick on him.
"Give it to me tomorrow," Yan Xun said.
He really didn't want to reach into Qin Ke's pants pockets; he was afraid he might accidentally touch something else.
Just as Wen Yuan was about to shout that it was unfair, he saw Qin Ke's shy and timid appearance... He felt a chill run down his spine and realized that it was understandable that Yan Xun didn't want to take money from Qin Ke's pocket.
Yan Xun took the dungeon map before sharing another clue he had discovered with them.
“I went to see the amulet of the sun god on the bow of the ship.”
"The amulet has been destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanzheng almost blurted out, "Someone actually beat me to it?", before realizing something was wrong—
"Who would be so perverted as to damage the amulet on the bow of the ship?!" He thought for a moment. "When I checked this afternoon, the amulet was still intact!"
“Yes…” Yan Xun looked at Wen Yuanzheng, “Who would be so perverted as to destroy the amulet at the bow of the ship?”
Wen Yuanzheng felt a little guilty, suspecting that Yan Xun might know something.
“I went to the deck as soon as the trombone sounded,” Yan Xun said. “Even with the time lost on the way, no one should be able to get there so much faster than me.”
