nKlein continued grilling.

nHe sprinkled all sorts of seasonings on it, and the smell wafted towards the Bear Goblins.

nThey couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, and the roasted rat in their hands immediately lost its fragrance.

n“Do you want it?” Klein said with a smile.

nThe Bear Goblins nodded repeatedly, then quickly shook its head.

n“I want to hire you. Is it enough to use this roasted meat?” Klein said with a smile.

nThe Bear Goblins nodded repeatedly before quickly shaking his head.

n“Hire us?”

nThe Bear Goblin scratched his head as though he was in a difficult position.

n“Why? Is there a problem?”

nKlein raised his eyebrows.

n“We still have something to do today, so we can’t accept the hire.”

nThe two Bear Goblins were very distressed.

nThey also had a keen eye and knew that Klein wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

nHis side was the base of the Snowdrift Ox, so they were planning to take a detour.

nFor Klein to be able to come over unscathed, he had to be capable.

nOtherwise, based on their usual habits, they would have already started looting.

n“It won’t take long. I just want to ask you a few questions.”

nKlein shook the roast meat in his hand.

nThe two Bear Goblins discussed for a moment before informing him that they would be leaving after eating their fill.

nKlein agreed to the request and threw the barbecued meat to the Bear Goblins.

n“Sss! Delicious!”

n“Delicious, too delicious!”

nThe two Bear Goblins couldn’t wait to eat the barbecued meat. They were full of praise.

nKlein clapped his hands and said, “Mr. Bear Goblins, don’t just focus on eating the barbecued meat. We should get down to business.”

n“First, let me ask you a question. Are you able to travel freely through the catacombs every day?”

n“Of course.”

n“The second question is, why didn’t you take the treasure chest?”

n“Treasure chest? What treasure chest?”

nThe Bear Goblins looked up in confusion, as though they hadn’t noticed the iron treasure chest not far away.

nKlein continued asking as though he was deep in thought.

nHe asked, “Third question, how far is the distance from here to the Underground City? Which direction is it in?”

n“Underground City? We’re not sure about that. We’ve only heard of it, but we’ve never been there.”

n“Haven’t you guys explored it before?”

nThe Bear Goblin shook his head and said, “The catacombs world is huge, and the passageways are complicated. Furthermore, there are frequent changes. We don’t dare to run around randomly. It’s easy to lose our way and be trapped in the wilderness.”

n“There will be changes?”

n“Yes, it might happen once every few days, or it might take more than ten days. We won’t be able to find our way back.”

nThe Bear Goblins had already finished all the roasted meat and were burping.

n“The Snowdrift Ox over there…”

nA bear gnome pointed at the catacomb that Klein had come to.

n“Killed it,” Klein replied indifferently.

n“Then, we don’t have to take a detour.”

nThe Bear Goblin got up and came before the mud wall. He began to dig rapidly, and it was extremely efficient.

nKlein continued asking questions from the side.

nThe two Bear Goblins were also simple-minded. They often asked questions and didn’t know anything.

nFortunately, he had gained some intelligence in general and didn’t waste the roasted meat!

n…

nThe two Bear Goblin mercenaries left.

nThey had gained a lot from this conversation.

nAccording to the Bear Goblins, they wouldn’t go too far every time they went out.

nIn a few days or a dozen days, the tunnel in the catacomb would change.

nIn the tunnel, there was an existence that Klein treated as a wall of air. The Bear Goblins referred to it as the geomagnetic pulse.

nThe soil that the geomagnetic pulse passed through would be extremely hard. No matter how much strength one had, it would be impossible to excavate it.

nThe geomagnetic pulse would change direction in a short period of time, causing the passageway to change.

nIn addition, they just couldn’t see the treasure chest.

nIn the catacombs world, there were many items left behind from ancient times, such as runic eggs. If they were lucky, they would be able to excavate them.

nAfter they dug the passageway, they would also be able to see a black hole. As for its exact existence, it was also said to be due to the geomagnetic pulse. It was also related to the gods.

nIn short, it was very mysterious. There was no way to know for sure.

nKlein followed them into the tunnel. After the Bear Goblins passed through, he wanted to enter again, but he was repelled.

nThis tunnel led to the ice and snow catacomb. Klein originally wanted to see if there were any bugs, but the result was obvious.

nAfter he exited the passageway, the sand quickly healed.

nKlein had also probed the Bear Goblins about why he could only pierce through the membrane in one direction.

nThe Bear Goblin wasn’t surprised and informed him that some lifeforms were special.

nAs for the reason, he still had no idea.

n..

nThe iron treasure chest was on a sand pile not far away.

nKlein went forward to examine it.

nIt was harmless.

nHe chose to open it.

nSystem notification: Iron Treasure Chest 1

nSystem notification: Map (Medium-Sized) 1

nSystem notification: Earth Rune 1

nHe didn’t have a blueprint, but there were enough runes.

nFurthermore, he had a medium-sized map.

nA map was indeed a good thing.

nKlein spread out the map.

nIn the middle was a red dot marking where he was.

nIt extended outwards and was densely packed with caves.

nKlein took out a piece of charcoal.

nHe drew a circle around some important resources and continued planning.

n“Here…”

nKlein raised his eyebrows.

nHe saw a novel item.

n“A lost charm bloodline? What’s this?”

nKlein drew a circle around the charm bloodline catacomb.

nThere was only one excavation opportunity left for the day.
