After embedding the Undead Stone, Ling Chen's HP loss in the Ghastly Grounds completely stopped. This also made him less worried, and allowed him to focus more of his attention on detecting danger. The blurry image in front of him told him that he was less than 100 meters away from the entrance of the Lonely Spirit Ridge. Although the 3 Lords were strong, they were not the real danger. There were countless experts in the Forgotten Continent, how could they not deal with 3 LV15 Lords.
The entrance of the Lonely Spirit Ridge, what was hidden?
Ta …
Ling Chen's HP and MP were completely restored, and then he finally took a step forward. With every step, he was closer to the legendary place of certain death.
Ta … Ta … Ta … Ta … Ta … Ta …
In the whole world, there was only the sound of Ling Chen's footsteps and his heartbeat. In his line of sight, the image of the Lonely Spirit Ridge became clearer. Ling Chen looked up and vaguely discovered that the image of the Lonely Spirit Ridge looked like a hideous skull. The place he was walking towards was the pitch-black mouth of the skull.
Ten steps … twenty steps … fifty steps …
"Awoo!!"
Behind him, Little Gray suddenly let out a soft cry. The cry was not loud, but in this eerie silence, Ling Chen's tense nerves suddenly jumped. His footsteps suddenly stopped, but he immediately responded. This did not seem to be the warning cry that Little Gray let out. When it sensed danger, the cry it let out was much sharper than before.
"Awoo!"
Little Gray stretched out its claws and rubbed Ling Chen's trousers, and then ran to the left. Ling Chen was slightly startled, and then quickly followed. After a dozen steps, Little Gray stopped, and shouted towards the front. Ling Chen stared at the direction that Little Gray was facing. All he could see was the gray air and the smooth gray ground. There was nothing strange. However, Ling Chen had already seen Little Gray's various powerful abilities. There must be a reason why it stopped here. After pondering for a while, he tried to take a step forward, and then squatted down. He tentatively reached out his hand, and touched the position in front of Little Gray. The moment he straightened his arm, a miraculous scene unfolded in front of him … The originally pitch-black smooth ground suddenly "melted" as his arm approached, revealing a pitch-black hole on the ground.
The hole was only a meter wide, and at a glance, he could clearly see a slanted staircase leading downwards.
"Ding … You discovered the hidden map" Ghastly Passage ", Fame + 50."
Hidden map!?
Xiao Hui's Eye of the Holy Spirit had the ability to discover hidden maps. In front of him was the first hidden map that this powerful detection skill had discovered … and it had actually appeared in this eerie and gloomy place!
Hidden maps were usually very difficult to find, and there were often things that could not be touched in regular areas. This Ghastly Place was a place that no one dared to enter all year round. Only undead creatures were active in this place. But in such a place, there was actually a hidden map, and it was not far from the entrance of the Lonely Spirit Ridge.
Eerie tunnel … tunnel … where does it lead to!?
While hidden maps were hard to find, they often contained great dangers. Just like the Forgotten Cave that Ling Chen fell off Wolf's Cliff in the Novice Village, it was a hidden map, and its danger level was countless times higher than any normal map in the Novice Village. Ling Chen stared at the dark cave for a while before slowly walking over. He then lifted his right foot and tapped on the first step, preparing to follow the steps into the hidden passage.
And at this moment, Ling Chen suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from inside the cave. His footsteps quickly stopped, and he completely restrained his breathing. In the stillness, the footsteps became clearer and clearer … It seemed that something was walking out from inside!!
Ling Chen quickly retreated, and stood three meters away from the cave. His eyebrows furrowed, and his left hand, Soaring Cloud, and right hand raised the Wind Sword at the same time. His eyes stared at the dark hidden entrance.
The footsteps got closer and closer, getting heavier and heavier, and gradually nearing his ears. Finally, a figure came out from inside. When Ling Chen saw him, he also saw Ling Chen, and both of them were stunned at the same time.
This was a person, and not an undead! Ling Chen confirmed it at first glance, because although his skin appeared to be faintly greenish-black in the gray, his eyes were shining brightly, with the most normal emotional fluctuations, and definitely not the eyes of an undead. This person's body was as thin as a monkey … To be more precise, he was as thin as a hemp stick. He also had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Most of the top of his head was bald, and there were only a few tufts of hair on the top of his head. He wore tattered cyan clothes, and held a short bamboo stick in his hand … If Ling Chen saw him on the street, he would definitely think that this was a beggar who didn't mix well among beggars.
The hemp stick man was stunned for half a second when he saw him, and suddenly shouted at him: "Where did you come from, kid? Who allowed you to come here! Is the gate of the Underworld something that low level undead like you are qualified to enter … Huh? Wait, why is there the breath of a living creature … "The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks finally realized something was wrong. He quickly looked up and down at Ling Chen. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he let out an exaggerated shout:" Damn!! You're a living person!! "
"Aren't you also a living person?" Ling Chen said with a blank expression.
"Hey, I'm not the same as you. I'm a living person who can eat in the Underworld. I'm not comparable to you ordinary people … Fuck! Why am I chatting with you? What are you doing here when you're a living human being? Don't you know that this is the entrance to the Underworld? No!! With that terrible guy here, it's impossible for a living person to come here. How did you come here alive? " The hemp stick man immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the Lonely Soul Ridge. After half a second, he said to himself: "This kid's strength is not weak. It's impossible for him to be that guy's opponent … It seems that the terrible guy is not at home today."
"The entrance to the Underworld?" Ling Chen glanced at the "gloomy passage" and whispered: "What kind of place is the Underworld?"
The hemp stick man swung the short bamboo stick in his hand and said impatiently: "Of course it's a place where the dead go. Why do you, a living person, ask so much? Hey, kid, you're lucky that the terrible guy is not at home today. Otherwise, you would never be able to come to this place alive. Okay, okay, hurry up and leave. I have to go do business too. "
After speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Ling Chen, and walked towards the west.
"I say, what kind of place is the Underworld? Tell me. And who is the 'terrible guy' you just mentioned? "Ling Chen said aloud behind him. He didn't think that such a place would have such a person. He thought it would be some kind of hidden big boss, but it turned out to be a living person, and a living person without any dangerous breath.
Qian Gungun:????
The information that Little Gray's Eye of the Holy Spirit got made Ling Chen's mouth twitch. Eye of the Holy Spirit could only detect the information of targets that were 10 levels lower than itself, so it was not too surprising that it couldn't detect the specific information of this hemp stick man. The key was the name …
Qian Gungun's footsteps stopped, and he remained still for 3 seconds. He seemed to be thinking about something, then he turned around and said a sentence that made Ling Chen inexplicable, "Yo! I can't tell that you're actually a rich man at such a young age. I, Qian Gungun, almost misjudged you. Hey, there's really nothing in the world that I, Qian Gungun, don't know. You asked the right person to ask me a question. However, I, Qian Gungun, never do a losing deal. If you want me to answer, you must come up with enough money. Want to know what kind of place is the Underworld? This low-level question will only charge you 10,000 gold coins. I, Qian Gungun, have always been honest and honest. Give me the money first! "
10,000 gold coins for a stupid question!? Why don't you go rob!!
"Little master, give him the money immediately!! Try your best to stall him!! If he's willing to trade with you, it'll be a great thing!! "
Ling Chen was just about to spit on this stick man's face when he suddenly heard the voice of Qi Yue, who had already gone to sleep. Ling Chen was startled and quickly asked, "Who is he?"
Qi Yue explained seriously, "The Underworld Merchant, Qian Gungun. He's a person who freely moves between the human world and the Underworld. Don't be fooled by his ugly appearance, but he's been around for 10,000 years. He's a money-grubber, and he's good at collecting all kinds of strange things, then selling them to the rich at a high price. Although the things he sells are expensive, they're all things that are hard to get through other means. At the same time, he's been roaming the continent and the Underworld for countless years, and knows many things that others don't. However, to get information from him, you'll need to spend a lot of money. His reputation has been known by the world for 10,000 years. Countless people are eager to meet him, and then spend a lot of money to buy the things in his hands, or get the information they want from him. However, he's as elusive as the Lucky Cat, and ordinary people can't even touch him. Little master, it's a great fortune to meet him! "
Underworld Merchant … Qian Gungun?
This person who looked like a beggar was someone that even Qi Yue paid so much attention to. He immediately calculated in his heart … But the problem was …
"I don't have that much gold coins. Can you make it cheaper? "Ling Chen said helplessly. 10,000 gold coins for a question … What's the difference between this and daylight robbery? Which player could afford it!
The stick man jumped up and down, "Damn!! You can fool anyone, but you dare to fool me, the great Qian Gungun! I just need to sniff with my nose, and I'll know how much money someone has on them! If you don't have 10,000 gold coins, I'll walk backwards in the future! "
"But I really don't have that much gold coins." Ling Chen curled his lips. Before he left Azure Dragon City, he had basically spent all his gold coins. Thinking about Qi Yue's words, he felt that he couldn't offend this person, so he called out his backpack, ready to show his current number of gold coins to prove that what he said was true … But when he glanced at the number of his money, he was stunned.
Money: 427583 gold coins!
Ling Chen was dumbfounded. He had more than 400,000 gold coins on him! An astronomical number at this stage!
What's going on? Where did these gold coins come from? When did he have so many gold coins!
