Zhao Xun soon sensed the pygmy marmoset approaching.
As it drew closer, the pygmy marmoset's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He heard the Pygmy Marmoset say that it had brought a ring of keys, but wasn't sure whether the third key Zhao Xun needed was among them.
With that advance warning, Zhao Xun wasn't at all surprised when the pygmy marmoset appeared before him, struggling to carry a huge ring of keys.
The pygmy marmoset scurried along on its little legs, panting with exhaustion by the time it reached Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun immediately returned the pygmy marmoset to the stone to let it rest.
Then he examined the large ring of keys himself.
It was already late at night, and pitch-black outside, let alone down here in the Underground Chamber, where he couldn't even see his hand in front of his face.
However, Wang Ling'er had left one small lamp on before leaving.
By its light, Zhao Xun could just barely make out the things in his hands.
Comparing the keys with the cage's keyholes allowed him to immediately rule out some obvious mismatches. He would have to try the rest one by one.
Zhao Xun took the two keys the pygmy marmoset had given him earlier out of his shoe and successfully opened the locks marked ② and ③.
Then he began trying the candidate keys on the ring one at a time.
His luck wasn't very good this time. Only when he had three keys left to try did he finally open lock ① on the cage.
As the cage door opened, Zhao Xun stepped out, and two pop-ups appeared before him in succession.
The first pop-up contained only two lines of text.
