Chapter 204

Upon seeing the attribute descriptions above, a satisfied smile appeared on Shen Xing's lips.

"Finally, we have a means of remote communication, and it even has video capabilities! That's great!"

He had been worried that he couldn't Control the movements of heroes like Hellscream when he sent them out to explore.

In special circumstances, they are also unable to request support in a timely manner.

This makes things very convenient.

It's like he can sit directly in his territory and have a real-time view of the surrounding area.

Once there are more and more talented people available in the later territories, I can become a hands-off manager.

Brilliant!

"Shen Xing, let's set up a separate channel together," Xia Wanyin suddenly suggested. "Then I can contact you anytime in the game without having to switch out of my phone."

Shen Xing thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, then switch the crystal to channel 2, the password is..."

Channel 1 is for communication among members within the territory, while Channel 2 is for him and Xia Wanyin, so they won't get confused.

They set it up quickly.

Shen Xing also gave Leina a [Communication Crystal].

Then he moved on to examining the next item.

This time it's a yellowed parchment scroll that records the process of making a secret pill.

[Finger Worm Small Pill Recipe]

[Quality: Purple]

[Recipe Description: This pill is made by refining the essence of Finger Worm blood and flesh, and mixing it with other medicinal herbs. Consuming it will rapidly restore injuries and stamina within a certain timeframe.]

[Required for crafting: Advanced Alchemy Mastery, 5 Finger Worm Flesh and Blood Essence, 3 Bloodsac Mushroom Powder, 100ml Moon Spring Water]

(Note: This is a secret pill formulated by Master renowned pharmacist Freeman Loba; one pill is all it takes to see results.)

"These Finger Worm are truly a treasure trove of resources."

"It can be used as food, made into soup, and now it can even be refined into small pills."

Shen Xing smiled and put the blueprint back into his backpack.

After all, this thing requires a high-level alchemist to make, and he doesn't have such talent in his territory.

Next, they began to examine the last treasure.

This is a square backpack that feels very light and soft to the touch, and you can even feel a sense of space within it.

[Silk Backpack]

[Quality: Purple]

[Space Reserves: 40 slots]

[Additional benefits: Temperature control (food can be stored in it for a longer time, maintaining its original temperature and taste for an extended period)]

(Note: A must-have for home and travel. With this, it's like having a mobile canteen with you at all times.)

This is the space backpack, and it's the most practical and cost-effective item among all the things Shen Xing bought this time.

Keep in mind that their initial backpack only has 20 slots.

With this, I can pack more things when I go out.

"This thing also has the function of keeping food fresh and warm. If it could be mass-produced, we could equip every delivery driver with one."

"This way, we can increase delivery efficiency and reduce negative reviews. It's great!"

Shen Xing thought to himself with a smile.

After checking the backpack, there were two Black Spirit Wood and five [Kodo Beast Recruitment Scroll] left.

These two items need no further introduction.

The former is the main material used to upgrade the Great Bonfire, while the latter can summon a level 5 Elite Three Stars Kodo Beast, which is quite good.

"According to information on the forum, the Kodo Beast is a decent unit in terms of combat strength, but its movement speed is too slow, making it unsuitable as a mount."

"However, this creature possesses immense strength and astonishing endurance; it is the king of beasts, the best of the best."

"This is also a very good troop type for novice lords."

"Of course, if you want to raise them, you need to ensure there's enough food in your territory, otherwise these gluttons are no joke."

Shen Xing secretly recalled the information about Kodo Beast on the forum, preparing to summon them when he returned.

While they were examining these treasures, Fried Chicken had already officially arrived at the Black Sky Wing Mountain Range.

A black aura emanated from the mountain, dispersing the gray mist and giving the entire mountain range an aura of death.

We swept across deep ravines and traversed barren, dark forests, advancing for about two or three kilometers.

"This is it, Shen Xing," Xia Wanyin said softly with her eyes closed.

Shen Xing looked down and saw only a dark canyon, stretching for more than ten kilometers and bottomless.

It looks as if it was cleaved open by some powerful creature, forming this canyon, or like a huge scar.

"Fried Chicken, take it down," Shen Xing ordered.

The Hippogryph obediently folded its wings and glided down at a steady pace.

They plunged straight into the bottomless canyon, descending as the light quickly dimmed.

Fortunately, the illumination range of an 8-level kerosene lamp is 200 meters in diameter, which can provide good lighting.

At this moment, they were like a lone submarine, slowly sinking into the depths of the ocean.

Darkness, like flowing seawater, swept in from all directions, giving one a quiet sense of despair.

"This place... did you come here alone?" Shen Xing looked at the girl in the white dress beside him with a strange expression.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xia Wanyin turned her head and asked.

"It's nothing." Shen Xing shook her head.

I almost forgot, she's blind.

This pitch-black environment might be oppressive or even make others feel suffocated, but it had no effect on her at all.

Because... her world was inherently dark.

We're almost there.

Xia Wanyin's voice rang out again, pointing downwards, "At the bottom of the canyon, there's an entrance that leads all the way underground."

Shen Xing also came to his senses and focused his gaze downwards.

As they approached the deepest part of the canyon, orange firelight illuminated their surroundings.

The jagged rock walls were covered with knife-like carvings, and the ground was littered with the skeletons of unknown creatures.

At the edge of the firelight, Shen Xing caught a glimpse of the outline of a dilapidated building.

It looked like the entrance to a palace, with a broken stone pillar standing on each side.

But the dome has collapsed, covering most of the entrance.

"Fried Chicken, lead us in."

Shen Xing assessed the size of the entrance; it was roughly large enough for the Fried Chicken to move around inside.

"Chirp chirp—"

Fried Chicken responded, then adjusted its direction and posture, swooped down, and steadily slipped into the half-open entrance.

The light suddenly dimmed, and an ancient stone passage appeared before them.

The walls on both sides are engraved with some special symbols and murals, which look like some kind of ancient script that has been lost for a long time.

However, because the Fried Chicken was flying so fast, the scenes on both sides were rapidly receding.

Shen Xing glanced at them intently but couldn't recognize the meaning of the symbols.

This passage is very long and extends downwards in a sloping structure.

The Fried Chicken maintained a steady flight, continuing to penetrate deeper into this dark passage.

After traveling nearly two or three kilometers, a faint glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.

When they reached the end of the light, a bright and clear view opened up before them.

At this moment, a huge underground space appeared before us.

Looking out, it seems like a vast, desolate land sleeping underground.

A faint light, seemingly from nowhere, hung high in the dome, enveloping the entire cavern in a thin blue twilight.

[You have discovered a special area: Dragon Tomb...]

Chapter 148: Triggering a Hidden Quest, Land of Dragons!

[You have discovered a special area: Dragon Tomb...]

"Dragon Tomb... that name sounds ominous..."

Shen Xing stared at the notification flashing before her eyes and murmured softly.

Not only is the name unlucky, but the place also has an inexplicable eeriness about it.

On the undulating land all around, one can vaguely see huge wrecks, half-buried in the black soil.

Although the creatures were not clearly visible, the sheer size of the skeletons and the oppressive aura they exuded were enough to suggest that these creatures must have been incredibly terrifying in life.

Even more noticeable is the central area.

There stood a huge tombstone on the earth, exuding an ancient and heavy aura, as if suppressing something that should not awaken.

"My lord, there is a force here that makes me uneasy."

Leina, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up, her gaze fixed intently ahead.

"I had that feeling too." Shen Xing nodded, then looked at the girl in the white dress beside him. "Wanyin, was this the place you came to investigate last time?"

"Yes," Xia Wanyin replied softly, "But I didn't dare get too close. I just glanced at the edge and retreated immediately when I sensed danger."

Shen Xing suddenly realized. "Do you know where the treasure is specifically marked on the treasure map?"

"Let me see..."

Xia Wanyin took out the ancient parchment and carefully sensed it with her eyes closed.

Then, as if holding a compass, he circled around, finally locking onto a direction. "It seems to be there."

Shen Xing looked in the direction she pointed and immediately saw the huge tombstone standing on the ground, and his heart sank.
