"Is that mountain peak our landmark?" Adrian asked."The village is at the foot of Cloud Puff Mountain," Lyra replied.After that, the two fell silent. Lyra occasionally turned to glance at Adrian with an inexplicable look. Although he had lost his fighting spirit, he could still sense her gaze on him. But he also knew that even if he asked, she probably wouldn't tell him what she was thinking.Things were becoming a bit strange, and Adrian became more vigilant.After walking for more than an hour, the two finally emerged from the rainforest and came upon a large open space. In the clearing were some wooden and bamboo huts with smoke rising from their chimneys.Judging by the number of houses, Adrian estimated that the village had a population of about a thousand. He speculated that if everyone here was close to Lyra's level, which was the eighth level, then things would be troublesome.And what Adrian saw next confirmed his speculation. Although not everyone was at the eighth le

"You don’t need to worry about that,” Adrian replied calmly."Nonsense! All warriors are schemers. I think we should capture you and burn you to death!" Duo shouted.Adrian frowned at this intense hostility toward outsiders, and Duo was probably no exception. He looked around, seeing that many people had noticed him. However, their gaze couldn't be described as cautious or scrutinizing. They looked like they were gazing at a monster. They wanted to kill him, just like Duo.If it weren't for the strong middle-aged bearded man suppressing them, they might have already attacked. If that happened, Adrian would be forced to kill some of them before escaping."What we do with him is up to the chief. Remember the rules of the village!" Lyra's father turned to glare at Duo.Duo didn't dare to cause trouble in front of this man and instantly fell silent. The others didn’t say a word either, apparently agreeing with the old man."Come with me." The man turned and walked toward the village

He came to have a deep impression of this place."So that's how it is.” The old man nodded. "But if you want to leave, it’ll be a little troublesome.”"Why?" "Because all the people who came to this place previously died. Their bones are buried in the mountain." The old man looked at Adrian with a half smile.The man had a formidable aura and unwavering determination. Adrian could finally confirm that he was a ninth-level powerhouse. Suppressing his impulse to draw the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and fight the old man to the death, Adrian shook his head and said, "No matter why they came here and why they died, I don't think there’s any need for you to kill me.""Why not?""Because I won't do anything to harm you.”The old man smiled disdainfully. "Your existence is itself a disadvantage, and you don't understand anything.""What do I not understand? Please, enlighten me," Adrian asked.However, instead of answering, the old man shifted the topic. "Not bad. You are brave. The l

"Are you going to ask me why Mudstone is unwilling to use this token to leave this world?" the old man asked in return.Adrian nodded. This old man was surely a freak who had lived for goodness knows how many years."I will tell you the answer when you get back, provided you come back alive, of course," the old man said smilingly."That’s a fair trade." Adrian stood up and nodded to the old man.‘That’s how everything seems on the surface,’ he added to himself.Entering a place where there was a one in ten chance of survival, finding precious items, and exchanging them for the Dragon Token in the old man's hands. For Adrian, it was fair. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the old man's request. The old man could have lent those before him the token, thus allowing them to leave this place. In that case, those previous people wouldn't have died here either. But in this world, there was never anything given for free, and for Adrian, both a gratuitous gift and a fair trad

Lyra put down her utensils and walked worriedly to the room next door. It was a single-story wooden house, with simple furnishings and only two rooms."I'm sorry to inconvenience you by having you stay in the hall before departure," Sion said, putting down his utensils before leaving the house.The daily routine here was the same as where they came from. According to Mudstone’s calendar, they would set off for the secret realm in the mountain in half a month.Adrian put down his utensils. For over two hundred years, though thirty people went in each year, only three people came out alive. How many treasures similar to the Dragon Token could these three people obtain each time? If it was assumed ten pieces each time, they would number a little over two thousand over the years. If it was five, it would be over a thousand. But regardless of the number, when three people come out, they should have brought back several items with them, so where are these items stored?Adrian smiled. If

Lyra was speechless. She knew Adrian's temperament, but how could he still be so arrogant in the presence of so many people? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?Duo looked toward Lyra. “Will you help him if I make a move?"Lyra thought for a moment. Since she still needed Adrian’s help, and he was the only one in the whole village who would do so, she nodded and said, "If you want to hurt Adrian, you'll have to kill me first."Duo's expression instantly turned gloomy. Behind him, the young people sneered. "Duo, we agreed to teach this outsider a lesson! Are you going to change your mind just because Lyra’s in the way?" Duo turned and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!""I’m implying that you like Lyra, so you dare not lay a hand on him," the man continued mockingly.Duo stared angrily at the man, then turned to look at Adrian, apparently ready to vent his anger on him.Adrian smiled and shook his head, drawing the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. There were some t

He just wanted to verify certain things."Damn you, Adrian! I will kill you!" Duo roared angrily.Adrian retrieved the Divine Frost Slayer Blade that had fallen to the side and turned to the unfamiliar middle-aged man, saying casually, "I suggest you arrest him. This person is an unstable factor in the village.""I will consider it, but I also suggest you stop provoking him." "Of course, I won't do it again. I promise," Adrian replied smilingly. He then turned to Lyra and said softly, "Let's go. Accompany me for a stroll, will you?"Lyra nodded, her expression complicated. "I...""Are you out of your mind, Duo?! Do you want to end up in Black Prison?" The companions who had come with Duo grabbed the impulsive young man.‘Black Prison? That must be an interesting place,’ Adrian thought.With a population of a thousand, the scale of Black Prison couldn't be that large. And since the population was so important, it was understandable that whenever Adrian clashed with someone, oth

Hearing Lyra's pleas, Adrian fell silent for a moment. Then, he nodded. "I’ll help if I get the chance."A bright smile appeared on Lyra's face. Her fair and delicate skin contrasted sharply with the crimson Blood River.As night fell, the sounds of monsters around them got louder. The two returned home, and Lyra asked Adrian to keep things a secret. Later in the night, Adrian sat cross-legged on the floor in the living room. He was reflecting on what he had witnessed and heard today as it was a unique experience for him. However, the situation was not entirely chaotic, and within a day, he had discovered some clues. "If this is the situation in Mudstone Village, then it should be the same for Blade's Reach Village and Emberfallen Village. The problem is that I'm not sure if they entered the same secret realm, and if the three factions are in conflict or cooperation.”From the old man, he discovered this place had existed for over two hundred years, possibly even longer. The three
