nKlein held a low-level upgrade scroll in his hand.

n

n

nFollowing his confirmation, a large amount of resources were deducted.

n

n

nLike a power enchantment scroll, the low-level runic base upgrade scroll gradually turned into ashes.

n

n

nHowever, the ashes didn’t fuse into Klein’s body.

n

n

nThe ashes were blown away by an invisible wind and flew in all directions.

n

n

nThe number of ashes continued to increase. Like a swarm of bees, they swept through the entire runic base.

n

n

nThe ashes stuck to the ceiling, ground, and walls. The entire runic base began to tremble as the ground expanded at a visible rate.

n

n

nThe walls were also growing taller.

n

n

nOne meter, two meters, three meters…

n

n

n“Wu, wu, wu!”

n

n

nLittle Fox was startled awake as she shrank into Klein’s embrace in fright.

n

n

nThe little fellow was fierce in battle, but at a time like this, it was scared out of its wits. It was suspected to be acting cute!

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nKlein could clearly feel the ground beneath him rise up.

n

n

n“This is…”

n

n

n“An additional layer?”

n

n

n“Or is it floating?”

n

n

nKlein couldn’t help but imagine.

n

n

nIt would be great if he could float!

n

n

nThe entire upgrade process took a full minute.

n

n

nSystem notification: The runic base has been upgraded.

n

n

nSystem notification: Excellent Runic Base upgraded to Perfect Runic Base.

n

n

nAt this moment, the runic base was no longer shaking.

n

n

nThe interior decoration was completely new.

n

n

nIt looked even more detailed.

n

n

nThe walls were snow-white, and the wooden floor was decorated with patterns.

n

n

nFurthermore, the interior was no longer a room.

n

n

n“This is a bedroom. They gave a large bed for free?”

n

n

nKlein seemed to be in a bedroom. There was a bed and a wardrobe.

n

n

nLight entered through two windows on a wall.

n

n

nThere was only one bedroom, and the area was no different from before the upgrade.

n

n

n“Let’s go out and take a look.”

n

n

nKlein walked out of the room.

n

n

nOutside was the hall.

n

n

nThe area was about the same as the bedroom.

n

n

nThere was a brand-new fireplace.

n

n

nIn front, the large iron door was half open.

n

n

nKlein walked towards the door and looked curiously.

n

n

nThe floor outside wasn’t sand.

n

n

nKlein walked out of the door and was surprised to find that he was on the second floor. He was standing on a balcony that was made of stone.

n

n

nOr rather, a gazebo!

n

n

nIt was a semicircle with a 1.2-meter-tall stone wall surrounding it.

n

n

nKlein stood on the balcony and looked down before turning back.

n

n

n“This is… An ancient castle?”

n

n

nKlein had a strange expression.

n

n

nThe interior was modern, but the exterior was in the style of an ancient castle. The overall look was dark.

n

n

n“Let’s go downstairs!”

n

n

nKlein entered the hall and followed the winding stairs to the ground floor.

n

n

nThe area below was larger and more spacious than the upstairs.

n

n

nThe barbecue grill, meat field, and so on were all piled up below.

n

n

nThe main door also became an iron door.

n

n

nKlein pushed it open and walked out of the runic base.

n

n

nThis was about twelve to thirteen meters tall, equivalent to a small castle.

n

n

nKlein faced the base and kept retreating until his back hit the mud wall.

n

n

nLittle Fox did the same thing by his side, following his every step.

n

n

nThe entire castle was filled with a heavy, ancient, and simple feeling.

n

n

nIt stood there, looking indestructible.

n

n

nKlein took a stroll around the runic base.

n

n

nHe was quite satisfied with the upgraded base.

n

n

nIn the entire world, he was probably the only one who had upgraded the runic base!

n

n

n…

n

n

nAfter washing up, he had a simple breakfast.

n

n

nAt this moment, he went to check the notification. It had already changed.

n

n

nThere’s an iron treasure chest in the catacombs ahead. It might yield good items. Two pitiful Night Whistlers are hiding under the soil. They’re praying that they won’t be discovered by other crypt creatures.

n

n

nKlein picked up the shovel and began digging.

n

n

nAfter twenty or so excavations, he dug through.

n

n

nHe put on a levitating propeller, a runic speed blade in one hand, and a runic crossbow in the other.

n

n

nThe two stepped into the black membrane!

n

n

nIn the twenty-third catacomb.

n

n

nKlein first caught sight of the iron treasure chest not far away when he entered.

n

n

n“Over there…”

n

n

nKlein simultaneously noticed that there were two mounds of sand near the iron treasure chest.

n

n

nUpon careful observation, he noticed that there were two pairs of eyes under the sand.

n

n

nThey were similar in color to the sand.

n

n

nIt was easy to miss them.

n

n

n“Wu, wu!”

n

n

nThe fox secretly tugged at the bottom of Klein’s pants.

n

n

nKlein squatted down and deliberately patted the root of the sand at his feet. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said, “Little Fox, pretend that you can’t see.”

n

n

nThe fox understood.

n

n

nAlthough Night Whistlers were weak during the day, they could fly, so it wasn’t easy to kill them.

n

n

nTherefore, he would pretend to open the iron treasure chest and suddenly launch an attack.

n

n

n‘I’ll catch them off guard!’

n

n

nKlein took a step forward, his gaze always focused on the iron chest.

n

n

nLittle Fox followed by his side. She raised her head and swaggered around arrogantly, ignoring the sand pile.

n

n

nA human and fox crossed the sand pile and went around to the back.

n

n

nKlein turned his head and made a hissing gesture at the little fox before tiptoeing back.

n

n

nAt that moment.

n

n

nThe two sand mounds also slowly moved.

n

n

nWhoosh…

n

n

nThe sound was faint.

n

n

nThe two Night Whistlers revealed themselves.

n

n

nThey looked like a mix between wolves and lizards. Their bodies were pitch-black and patterned. They had wings on their backs, and their mouths were as long as whistles. One of their tails was split into two.

n

n

nThey seemed to have the same idea: sneak attack!

n

n

nLittle Fox turned her head, and Klein had already raised his runic blade.

n

n

nThe two sides met.

n

n

nKlein grinned.

n

n

nThe two Night Whistlers were stunned before they realized the danger. They hurriedly flapped their wings in an attempt to escape.

n

n

nWhoosh!

n

n

nThe blade flashed.

n

n

nOnly the Night Whistler’s head was split in two.

n

n

nJust as the other Night Whistler took off, Klein took a step forward and stabbed through the fellow’s neck.

n

n

nHe drew his blade and blood spewed like a fountain.

n
