Looking blankly at the back of the NPC who looked as if nothing had happened, Xingyu couldn't help but cry out.
"Damn it, brothers! There's a monster with a red name!"
Hearing the shouting from behind, Lenny was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what was happening.
I was discovered? But what did he mean by shouting?
He could understand every word in that sentence, but when put together, he couldn't understand it at all.
But in the next moment, the changes in the environment around him made Lenny feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
When the refugee behind shouted that strange sentence, the nearby refugees who were chatting with passers-by, dancing, passing by, and crawling on the ground all suddenly stopped moving.
Then, they collectively turned their heads, and after a brief inspection, hundreds of eyes from the entire street focused on him——
The young pickpocket is very familiar with the passion and greed in those eyes.
When his fellow villains saw the gold coins, the lust in their eyes was nothing more than this.
He just didn't understand why these refugees looked like this when they looked at him.
Lenny, the pickpocket, died at the age of nineteen.
.….….
The nameless island in the depths of the misty sea, the port town [Lavanles]
On the hill in the center of the town, Anvis led Jom slowly up the gray-white rocky mountain path.
I don’t know who built the trail. For countless years, it has been stepped on by people going up and down the mountain very steadily.
The surroundings are covered with rich vegetation, and unknown tiny white wildflowers bloom in the gravel cracks beside the road, exuding a faint and delicate fragrance.
The further up Anvis went, the more he could feel the strange calm force field in the environment, and its intensity gradually began to increase, as if he was approaching some source.
The Rai Temple is located on the top of a hill. From the outside, it is a low rectangular building made of pale white granite, with huge rock columns and corridors, as well as murals with relief patterns.
At the top of the building are multiple complex and strange spire structures of different sizes, like overlapping pyramids.
Under the somewhat pale skylight of the island, the mica flakes in the granite shine with soft highlights, adding a touch of wonderful magnificence to this ancient temple.
Enshrined in the center of the temple is a huge granite statue that is nearly ten meters high and almost reaches the ceiling of the temple.
His upper body has a female figure, but it has a long snake-like tail.
That is the god that the people of the island believe in, the incarnation of the moon god [Lai] in the human world.
Anvis could clearly feel that a pure and gentle force field was spreading to the surroundings with the statue itself as the center.
However, there was no response from the "Secret Scripture of the Old Ones", which showed that this statue was not the target he needed.
After leaving the Rai Temple on the top of the mountain, Anvis went to the town and based on the bartender's previous description, looked for the team that was preparing to go into the mountain to collect gems recently.
With Jom's help, Anvis quickly found the temporary leader of this collection team in a large house with a courtyard on the east side of the town.
The leader is a vigorous old explorer with gray hair and sharp blue-gray eyes.
At the same time, he is also one of the only two fifth-level people in the town that Qiao Mu has detected before.
When Anvis came to the door, he was in his yard, handling supplies and equipment for this trip.
What surprised Anvis was that the brown-haired young man disguised as Claire was also here, and was helping the old explorer.
"Hello, I'm Hill, could I take up a moment of your time?"
Calmly looking away from Claire, Anvis turned his gaze to the old explorer who turned to look over.
"Sorry, I think you should have seen that we are very busy now."
With Claire's help, he pulled one end of a rope and tightened it to tighten a bulging package. The old explorer took a breath and stood up straight.
"If you also want to go collecting gems with us, please come here at six o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"No, I have my own arrangements."
Anvis shook his head slightly and stared into the old explorer's blue-gray eyes, his expression unchanged.
"Can you tell me the specific information about the gem mine on this island?"
"Of course, I can pay a corresponding price for this news."
Glancing at the various 'not very advanced' equipment in the yard, Anvis looked at the old explorer who was gradually showing impatience, and proposed his price.
"For example...how about a portable magic power decomposition and collection device?"
"Ha! Good, I guess that's fair enough!"
Hearing this, the old explorer suddenly showed a hearty smile, the impatient look on his face disappeared, he directly pushed the equipment on hand aside and sat on the package next to him.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Bergson, an explorer."
"In the mountains in the northern part of the island, there are many deep fissures, which are the source of gems."
"Look deep into the underground of the island from those cracks. If you are lucky enough, you can find veins of gemstones that sparkle with beautiful purple fluorescence."
"Of course, it is very hard and very brittle, and must be collected with special mining tools. It must not be subject to excessive vibration when mining, otherwise it will break into a pile of waste and become worthless."
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.
"You are not the first stranger to ask me for this information, Hill."
"But in return for your willingness to provide me with advanced mining equipment, I can tell you a special message alone."
Glancing at Claire who was about to leave next to him, Bergson spoke again and asked her to stay where she was.
"You don't have to avoid it, Karl, I originally planned to tell you about that."
"When I was young, I used my passion to go deep into the mountains of the island alone and explore the depths of the earth.
In fact, under a certain depth of thick earth, the strength of the island curse will be greatly reduced, and will eventually become almost completely disappear as the depth decreases!"
"It was during that expedition that I accidentally broke into a mysterious crystal cave. There, the entire cave was filled with gem crystals the size of a human head! There was even a wall made entirely of pure gems!"
As he spoke, the old explorer couldn't help but squint his eyes, as if he could still see the brilliant brilliance of those huge gems.
“I was completely stunned by this scene, and then I was ecstatic.
But unfortunately, the excessive density of gems has kept the entire cave in a high-demon environment for a long time, and natural spirits have been generated to protect the gems——"
"When I entered the cave, the sound of footsteps awakened the crystal spirit sleeping in the cave.
When they came towards me like a whirlwind of sparkling stardust, the only thing I could do was to grab a gem and activate the only teleportation scroll that could save my life."
