nA tour?

n

n

nXaviera and Paul were intrigued as they hurriedly looked at Charles.

n

n

n“Captain, shall we go in and take a look?”

n

n

nCharles looked at them and asked, “Is Klein inviting us? Do you want to…”

n

n

nThe two of them had eager eyes.

n

n

nPerhaps Klein would even treat them to a sumptuous lunch.

n

n

nCharles muttered, “Don’t go in. There might be a trap! I think there’s a problem.”

n

n

nThe two felt a chill in their hearts.

n

n

nIndeed, his originally cold tone had suddenly softened. It was too strange!

n

n

nThe three people below were whispering.

n

n

nKlein couldn’t hear them.

n

n

nA moment later, Charles said loudly, “Thank you, Mr. Klein, for answering our questions. We won’t be going in the castle. I hope you won’t mind if we disturb you.”

n

n

nWith that said, the three of them turned around and left.

n

n

nThey headed straight for one of the earthen walls and began digging.

n

n

nKlein watched them and saw that the direction they were digging in was the catacombs he had come to.

n

n

nHowever, they didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they came out after digging the tunnel and sat down to eat not far away from the tunnel.

n

n

n“Very cautious.”

n

n

nKlein sighed.

n

n

nThe three of them were considered smart and didn’t have any greed.

n

n

nKlein thought for a moment before saying, “It’s best if they don’t do anything petty. Let’s cook first.”

n

n

nKlein focused on cooking the instant noodles.

n

n

nAfter adding the pieces of meat, the entire pot of instant noodles was filled with a fragrant aroma.

n

n

nThe instant noodles didn’t need to be cooked for too long. If it was cooked too long, it would lose all its firmness, and it wouldn’t taste good at all.

n

n

nHe took it out of the pot and placed it in a bowl.

n

n

n“Are you sure you can eat it?”

n

n

nKlein asked Little Fox on the table.

n

n

n“Wu, wu, wu!”

n

n

nLittle Fox patted her belly.

n

n

n“Alright, it’s an crypt creature after all. You can’t compare it with cats and dogs.”

n

n

nKlein filled a bowl for Little Fox.

n

n

nThe noodle soup was bright, and the meat floated up and down.

n

n

nThe air was filled with fragrance!

n

n

n“Let’s eat.”

n

n

nKlein took out all the remaining noodle soup.

n

n

nHe stood on the balcony and ate the noodles while observing the movements below.

n

n

nSlurp…

n

n

nHe took a mouthful of instant noodles and enjoyed it.

n

n

n—

n

n

nCharles and company were roasting meat and sipping water.

n

n

nAlthough there was the aroma of roasted meat in the air, it felt like instant noodles to the three of them.

n

n

nAn illusion, it was all an illusion!

n

n

nThey couldn’t help but look in the direction of the ancient castle.

n

n

nThey were envious.

n

n

nAfter a moment of silence, Charles said, “What the hell is this ancient castle? I asked the people in the channel, but no one knows.”

n

n

n“Heh, I also went to the world channel to ask, but no one knows. Someone has already sent a private message to Klein. Let’s see if he’ll answer.”

n

n

n“Speaking of which, it was indeed a little dangerous just now. Thankfully, we were smart and didn’t fall for it.”

n

n

n“Could it be that this fellow’s resources were snatched from the players? It’s too terrifying.”

n

n

n“Sigh, when will we be able to dig up instant noodles?”

n

n

nXaviera and Paul chatted non-stop.

n

n

nOn the contrary, Charles was silent. Most of his attention was in the direction of the ancient castle.

n

n

nHe was constantly on guard.

n

n

n…

n

n

nKlein liked to do other things while eating.

n

n

nHe began observing the situation below. Seeing the three of them obediently barbequing meat, he opened the chat channel to watch everyone chat and gather some useful information.

n

n

nHe had just noticed that everyone was talking about him again.

n

n

n“That castle must be a special building in the catacombs. Klein just doesn’t want to talk about it.”

n

n

n“Heh heh, why haven’t I encountered a castle before? Maybe that fellow was spouting nonsense.”

n

n

n“Everyone, the next time you meet Klein, you better be careful. From Paul’s description, Klein’s behavior is a little rash…”

n

n

n“The evil big shot Klein!”

n

n

nDue to Paul’s subjective description, Klein seemed to have become a sinister and terrifying suspicious person.

n

n

nKlein didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

n

n

nAfter lunch.

n

n

nKlein checked the notifications from all directions.

n

n

nCharles and company had come from the left catacomb, while Klein had come from the right catacomb.

n

n

nNow, Charles and company were going to Klein’s previous catacomb, so Klein only had four directions to choose from.

n

n

nExcavate upwards. You will receive some resources. Pay attention to the Bedbugs on the ground. Once you step on them, the smell will follow you for an entire day. It’s enough to disgust you.

n

n

nExcavate downwards. There are two wooden treasure chests there. There’s a nest of Single-Horned Sand Hounds resting.

n

n

nThere’s fertile soil in the catacombs ahead. It’s suitable for planting.

n

n

nExcavate the catacombs behind. There’s a Gold-Digging Dwarf that carries a large number of items with it. You can choose to kill it to snatch the treasure or make some deals with it. If you want to kill it, there’s a high chance that it will escape.

n

n

n“Gold-Digging Dwarf?”

n

n

nKlein was stunned when he saw the notification in the catacombs behind him.

n

n

nAre there any other crypt creatures that can be traded with?

n

n

n‘Open the illustration manual,’ Klein read silently.

n

n

nA list of illustrated manuals appeared.

n

n

n“Searching for Gold-Digging Dwarf.”

n

n

nThe list scrolled.

n

n

nIt stopped at a certain line.

n

n

n..

n

n

nGold-Digging Dwarf: A type of crypt creature that walks upright. It’s short and has a deformed appearance. Every Gold-Digging Dwarf has a different appearance, but they always carry a big bag with them. Inside is the treasure they collected, and they are mobile merchants in the world of the catacombs. They were smart and trustworthy. They were born with an affinity for sand, which gave them an excellent ability to drill into the earth.

n

n

nThey have a sense of danger

n

n

nThey are strong, and most crypt creatures cannot catch them. They like to search for treasures everywhere, and they also like delicious food.

n

n

nAbility: Quickly burrow into the ground

n

n

nWeakness: Constitution is vulnerable

n

n

nDanger Factor: 8

n

n

n“Check the details of the skill.”

n

n

nQuickly burrow into the ground: able to burrow into the ground in a second

n

n

nAfter reading the information, Klein had given up on the idea of killing the Gold-Digging Dwarf.

n

n

nAlthough the danger factor of a Gold-Digging Dwarf was low, its escape ability was too outstanding.

n

n

nIf he could make a trade…

n

n

nKlein lit the barbecue grill again.

n

n

nPerhaps he could try to lure it with barbecue.

n

n

nEven if there was no trade in the end, it would be nice to see a Gold-Digging Dwarf.
