Han Shuo had already made a rough tour of the Valley of Sunshine when he was in the sky. Now that he was here, he discovered that there were all sorts of strange buildings in Tanai. These buildings were made from different materials, such as sturdy gray stone bricks or hundred-year-old tree trunks. Some of the roofs were round, while others were pointed like smoking pipes.
It was precisely because there were merchants and adventurers from various countries in this area that the style of the buildings here also had some strong local characteristics.
Some people walked out of the houses on the street early in the morning to clear away the accumulated snow from the day before, clearing out a clean space in front of their doors. It was like a small city with all sorts of shops here, a dazzling array of goods from various countries.
"The ones who open shops around here are all small merchants. The real big merchants are only here to stay for a few days. Because they've already contacted each other beforehand, they'll leave after they've finished their business here." This wasn't the first time that Phoebe had come here. She held onto Han Shuo's arm and explained softly.
"Alright, you guys can walk around as you please, I'll take care of things first. When you're tired, you can rest in the last shop on this street. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up! "Emily immediately spoke after she'd entered, concerned about the mission this time.
Nodding, Han Shuo understood that Emily was burning with anxiety and said, "Go ahead and take care of business first. We'll come find you later!"
After Emily left, Phoebe's thoughts raced as she suddenly remembered something. She said to Han Shuo, "Oh right, I haven't had time to collect all of the materials on the other list you gave me. There are rare items from various countries here. Why don't we take a look? Perhaps you'll find the materials you need. "
After hearing Phoebe's words, Han Shuo finally remembered that he'd asked Phoebe to help him collect the materials to refine the wood elite zombie. The earth elite zombie and the yin demon cave were both operating in an orderly fashion within the cemetery of death. However, Phoebe hadn't gathered all of the materials for the wood elite zombie yet. Now that Phoebe had suggested this, Han Shuo readily agreed.
Therefore, under Phoebe's lead, Han Shuo followed behind her, starting from the first shop on this side and strolling through them one by one.
With Han Shuo accompanying her, Phoebe appeared to be quite happy. As the leader of a large trading firm, Phoebe became quite shrewd when she interfered in this kind of transaction. Whenever they passed by a few shops that had materials that Han Shuo needed, she would often be able to tell the true price of a material without batting an eyelid.
She threw out more than seven thousand gold coins without the slightest hesitation, forcibly obtaining a batch of materials that Han Shuo desperately needed. When Han Shuo took out his crystal card to pay, Phoebe glared at him and said, "You still have gold coins with me, why are you taking out money!"
Han Shuo was speechless and didn't bother with this matter anymore. He only followed behind Phoebe and watched her coldly haggle with the owners of several shops along the way.
There were indeed many rare materials in this Glorious Tanai. Even the black iron ore and black gold ore that couldn't be found within the empire could be found in two shops. There were even some items that were strictly prohibited by the empire that were openly displayed here to attract customers.
For example, there were some powerful aphrodisiacs and hallucinogens, powder that could melt corpses with a single drop, and even some powerful weapons that had just been developed by various countries, as well as the crystal cores and bones of some powerful magical beasts. They were all available.
The owners of these shops might be humans, orcs, elves, or even some strange merfolk that lay half of their bodies in the pool. Because they were using the human language to communicate, there were no barriers to communication. When Phoebe and Han Shuo had finished walking around, both of them felt that this trip hadn't been in vain. Both of their space rings had gained some rare materials.
"Alright, it's about time. Let's go meet up with Emily today. A shop like this Glorious Tanai isn't something we can finish in a day. As long as we put in some effort, I'm sure we'll be able to make up for the few materials you're still lacking! " They entered a dozen or so shops in a row, haggling with all of them. Even Phoebe was a bit tired and couldn't help but say to Han Shuo after walking out of another shop.
Unknowingly, the sky above the Valley of Sunshine was as red as blood, illuminating the entire valley in a sea of red. It was already evening. After such a long time, Emily should've finished her business. Han Shuo was also anxious to know how she was doing. Listening to Phoebe's words was exactly what he wanted, so he and Phoebe headed towards the place Emily had pointed out.
Because he didn't know what danger Little Skull had encountered in the other plane, Han Shuo didn't put him back into the other dimension and kept him by his side. In this Glorious Tanai, there were all kinds of strange characters from all kinds of races. Han Shuo with a Little Skull didn't seem all that special.
But when they headed towards the place Emily had pointed out, Little Skull suddenly stopped in front of a shop. He stood there motionlessly, his empty eyes looking at the door as if he was interested.
Han Shuo was startled and looked at Little Skull with some surprise. He then looked at the tightly shut door of the shop, not knowing what was inside that attracted him and made him stop in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" When Phoebe saw that Han Shuo and Little Skull had both stopped, her body also stopped moving. She turned back to look at Han Shuo and asked in surprise.
Han Shuo had a strange expression on his face as he lifted his head to look at Phoebe, then continued to stare at Little Skull, "There's something inside that attracted him!"
Phoebe had only been a little puzzled at first, but when she heard Han Shuo's words, the puzzlement on her face turned into shock. She looked left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and then walked to Han Shuo's side. She looked at the Little Skull with an incredulous expression and said to Han Shuo, "You're saying that he has his own thoughts?"
Nodding, Han Shuo said with certainty, "That's right, I'm sure that's the case. I haven't figured out what's going on yet, so don't ask me what's going on, because I don't know when this started happening either! "
Phoebe was even more astonished when she heard Han Shuo's words, her pretty face full of confusion and confusion. When Phoebe looked at the shop, she suddenly cried out in surprise. When Han Shuo looked at her, she couldn't help but explain, "Why is it this shop? It's not the first time I've come to the Valley of Sunshine, but I've never seen this shop open. I think that the person inside isn't willing to sell anything, otherwise they wouldn't close the door."
It was indeed as Han Shuo had said. Every shop in the Valley of Sunshine wished for everyone to enter, but this shop's door was actually covered up, as if no one lived inside. It was a bit out of place on the bustling street.
Suddenly, Little Skull, who had been standing there all this time, walked towards the shop without Han Shuo's orders. He reached out his hand and pushed the door open. To Han Shuo's surprise, a soft creak sounded as the seemingly tightly shut door suddenly swung open, revealing a cobblestone walkway.
Phoebe started and said hesitantly, "Entering someone else's shop without permission is against the rules of the Valley of Sunshine!"
"Is there someone inside? There's someone inside!" Han Shuo nodded and followed Little Skull inside. He suddenly called out, wanting to see if there was anyone inside.
Unfortunately, Han Shuo didn't hear any response even after calling out a few times. Little Skull naturally didn't know any rules and directly walked deeper into the shop.
Spreading his hands at Phoebe, Han Shuo said, "There's no one here anyways, it shouldn't matter if we go in and take a look." Han Shuo then turned around and closed the door that Little Skull had pushed open. He gave Phoebe a meaningful glance and grabbed Phoebe's little hand as they walked inside.
After passing through the hallway, Little Skull went straight to the backyard where there was a deep, circular well. Little Skull stood next to the well after coming over and poked his head in to look inside. No one knew what he was looking at. When Han Shuo and Emily came over, Han Shuo suddenly felt that there seemed to be a cold, evil presence within the well, as if some kind of powerful demon existed within.
"Something's wrong, the temperature here is too low, even I feel a bit cold!" Phoebe's body suddenly trembled as she looked at Han Shuo.
"That's right, this is a place of extreme water, a place that I must refine into a water elite zombie. The dense water qi within has been absorbed by the vengeful spirits and has most likely formed water demons! "Han Shuo's face was filled with ecstasy as he spoke excitedly.
Han Shuo drew closer and felt with his heart. He could clearly feel the dense water qi within, as well as two cold and sinister presences. This made Han Shuo understand that the water element within had been absorbed by the vengeful spirits and formed into two water demons.
