Gemstones!
Hundreds of gemstones of different colors were embedded in the ground in a special way, emanating an unusual dazzling shine.
?
Bountiful!
Bountiful without a doubt!
Even if a gemstone was worth 2,000 Points and 1 Skill Point, the hundreds of gemstones before Kieran's eyes would be worth 2,000 Points and 100 Skill Points.
On top of that, gemstones of the same color would have a premium price.
The value of the gemstones had far exceeded that number.
Of course, the more important point was that the price was only for the cracked gemstones.
The cracked and intact gemstones were much more expensive.
Among the hundreds of gemstones before him, Kieran glanced over them and saw 4 cracked gemstones and 1 intact gemstone.
When he thought about the value of the gemstones, Kieran's breath hastened as the stingy ghost's soul surged.
However, he still had the necessary vigilance.
He carefully looked at the ground that was inlaid with gems.
The whole thing was a circle, but it was not the kind of circle in a circular state. Instead, with the intact gem as the center, the four cracked gems occupied the four corners of the intact gem, and the rest of the fragmented gems were inlaid in a special arc with the four cracked gems as the center according to the different colors.
"Magic circle … Huh?"
Kieran was very sure what the gemstone embedded ground was, but when he carefully inspected it, he noticed an aura hidden under the gemstone embedded magic circle.
The aura was hidden and faint.
If it wasn't for Kieran's full concentration, he would have missed it.
The cold ruthlessness from the aura sent chills down one's heart.
"Fiend!
Could it be … "
Kieran squinted his eyes as a thought flashed over his mind.
He raised his hand and knocked on the gemstone embedded ground.
Dong, Dong, Dong.
The hollow knocking confirmed Kieran's guess.
Then, [Arrogant Word] appeared in Kieran's hand. He stabbed the sword into the gemstone embedded ground a finger away and lifted the sword up.
Immediately, the 'ground' that was embedded with gems was picked up.
It was a stone slab that was perfectly connected to the ground.
Looking at it with the naked eye, it was impossible to see anything.
Kieran picked up the gemstone slate and sized up what was underneath it with his full attention.
However, what he saw surprised Kieran.
There was no Fiendish Demon as he had expected. Instead, there was only a palm-sized wooden box covered in talismans.
"If it's not a precautionary measure, then …"
"It's a part of the formation!"
With a thought, Kieran picked up the wooden box.
Only then did he realize that the talismans that seemed to be plastered all over the box were actually a special talisman that was two fingers wide and long enough to wrap around the box several times.
This was the first time Kieran had seen such a charm.
But this made him even more astonished.
This was because he could actually understand some of the words written on the talisman.
Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] had related knowledge, but it wasn't a lot. It was only enough for Kieran to roughly identify the usage of the talismans.
Seal!
"A sealed demon?"
Kieran guessed, but most of his attention was on the talisman.
When he entered this dungeon world, because of the completely different worldview, he even guessed that the power system would be different.
However, the talisman before him could be recognized by his [Mystical Knowledge].
"Is it because [Mystical Knowledge] has a high enough distinguishing ability that it can clearly distinguish all knowledge related to mysticism?"
Or … "
"Does this dungeon world and the one I've been through have the same lineage … Inheritance?"
Kieran looked at the box in his hand with uncertainty.
The lack of information made it impossible for him to make a judgment.
Of course, he would never return the item that he had gotten.
The stone slab filled with gemstones and the sealed box were stuffed into [Crimson Ghost Stomach] by Kieran.
Then, Kieran sized up his surroundings.
The space under the well was a few hundred times larger than the narrow space above.
Some parts of the well were obviously meticulously crafted.
Like the pillar in front of Kieran.
The pillar was so thick that it would take four adults to wrap their arms around it. There were carvings of dragons and snakes on the pillar, and it was full of man-made traces.
However, the dragon and snake creatures on the pillar were too vivid and lifelike.
When Kieran laid his eyes on it, he felt a sense of dread.
Even if it was just for a moment.
It was enough to pique Kieran's interest.
Without a second thought, Kieran tried to touch the pillar.
However, the result was disappointing.
There weren't any system notifications, and it was obvious that the pillar before him was just a decoration, not a tool recognized by the system at all.
However, it further confirmed Kieran's previous thoughts.
"This lifelike pillar is obviously the work of a master craftsman … A single person could never have excavated an underground lair like this, let alone twelve of these pillars!"
Kieran counted the same number of pillars in front of him and glanced over the remaining time, which was less than half. He then walked towards the faintly discernible door at the side.
Although he was sure that he had already obtained the most valuable item in the underground lair, he wouldn't mind taking more if he could.
Kieran was sure that there must be something valuable behind the door.
After all, this was the lair of the monster.
However, when Kieran turned around, he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eyes.
Kieran stopped right away and turned around to check.
His eyes were looking at the top of the pillar, where it hit the ceiling repeatedly.
It was where the head of the creature that looked like a dragon or a snake was blocking the ceiling. If one looked from below the pillar, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Only by standing in a staggered position would one be able to see the abnormality of the pillar at the back.
However, the lighting in the underground lair was dim, normal people couldn't even see it clearly, let alone carefully observing it.
However, Kieran was different.
His A + Intuition allowed him to see things clearly in the dark, not missing a single detail.
So, when Kieran saw the bird nests weaved from straw and twigs, Kieran was slightly stunned before his face showed a sense of joy again.
What did it mean for the bird nests to appear here?
Kieran didn't forget about the black crow-like birds from before.
He originally thought that it was some kind of secret technique that he didn't know about.
However, he didn't expect the birds to be reared.
The bird nests were the best proof!
"If they were reared, would there be …"
The moment the thought came into his mind, Kieran moved.
Because of the statues, anyone with a bit of agility would have no trouble climbing the pillars, let alone Kieran. A single step and he jumped to the top.
He then raised his hand and touched the bird nests.
One after another, Kieran didn't miss a single one.
Pillar after pillar, Kieran's speed was getting faster and faster.
At the top of the last pillar, Kieran's fingers touched an unusual softness, he grabbed it together with the bird nest without a second thought.
Then, he stepped on the pillar with his right foot and dashed towards the faintly visible door like an arrow.
