The Master of the Strange Realm

In addition to him, everyone else also found something similar to "treasure", some were books, and some even found a life-size demon statue made of pure gold.

"Actually, people have found similar things several times before, but the road outside the festival is different every time, so sometimes nothing can be found. Only this time so many people found the 'treasure' , basically confirming that the high difficulty of this treacherous environment corresponds to high rewards.”

Jenkins and the tombkeeper also shared their findings. As expected, only two people had entered the manor, and no one else had even seen a similar building that could be entered.

Just like Jenkins's guess, most people think that there may be the final puzzle and the final place, but others don't have any good ideas about the key.

"Don't you think this strange situation is a bit too difficult?"

After talking about the key, Jenkins couldn't help but ask, but no one else answered him immediately. Finally, Mr. White Cat said:

"Actually, this is also the second treacherous realm I have entered. I don't know much about the average difficulty of the enchanted realm. Mr. Candle, if you have any opinions, you can tell me directly. Now we are all Sailors on a ship will not survive if the ship capsizes.”

Of course Jenkins has an opinion. This kind of strange situation of finding a door and a key without a map is definitely more difficult than any strange situation he has ever experienced.

Therefore, he believed that everyone must have missed important clues, and the theme of "sacrifice" usually exists in strange situations, such as sacrificing health to drink poisonous wine, sacrificing blood to water flower pots, sacrificing reason to talk to indescribable things, But this time the strange situation does not involve any of this, it just keeps running at the expense of physical strength...

"Speaking of which, before I came here, did you talk to the announcer of the rules of the treacherous realm and ask about the situation here?"

He asked again, because Mr. White Cat was the most familiar with him, and Mr. White Cat was also the first to enter here, so Mr. White Cat still answered him:

"No, everyone knows from the information that any person who can be talked to in the treacherous realm is a terrifying existence that humans cannot understand, so apart from listening to her explain the rules, we did not ask any additional questions."

"That's the problem!"

After saying this, he turned around and looked at the devil-like old woman who appeared quietly on the other side of the altar:

"No need to explain the rules, there are no new grantors in this cycle. Now I want to know, do you have a key or a map or something like that?"

"The complete map outside the festival is divided into 12 parts. Each map has all the terrain, roads and treasure points in a small area marked. But the maps I sell are for a fee..."

"it is as expected!"

Jenkins thought to himself, and then heard the other party talking about the price:

“There are different payment options you can choose from to get the map.

The first option is to trade time in the hourglass. For every three minutes reduced from the ten-minute period, you can obtain a map;

The second is to trade at the cost of your own lifespan. You can piece together each other and give me 5 years of lifespan, and you can get a map;

The third is to trade with your soul. If someone voluntarily contributes all his soul, I can give you 5 maps;

The fourth type of transaction is emotion. If anyone is willing to sacrifice all the emotions in his life, I can give you 3 maps;

The fifth type of transaction is destiny. If someone chooses this option, then a generous lady or gentleman needs to do something for me after returning to the material world. Accordingly, I can give you six maps. "

Chapter 1378 Chapter 1355 The Deal with the Devil

"What do you think?"

After listening to the old demon talking about the transaction he was seeking, Jenkins turned to ask his companions. This festival is the only place where no red light can be seen. In the dark environment, everyone's face seems to be covered with a terrifying mask.

"First of all, it's impossible for us to contribute our souls, and no one is willing to make a deal with the devil to help it, so in fact we only have three options."

The woman who entered here during the first cycle like Mr. White Cat said that she was not a benefactor of the Zhengshen Church and seemed to be just an innocent passerby who was accidentally involved.

It was just her light and aura that made Jenkins feel as if this woman had seen it before...

"Time, lifespan and feelings, this sounds really similar to the devil's deal in the story. It seems that we have to make sacrifices. Even if there are five of us, we want to be lucky enough to get to the end and have the key location. Map, I want to get the shards at least seven times.”

The night watchman said, this is a middle-aged man with a low but powerful voice.

"And this is only if we are lucky. If we are not lucky, we may have to obtain all twelve fragments to know how to find the path to the door and key in the shortest time."

The tombkeeper added that he was the oldest one among the group of people and was very steady in his work.

"Isn't such a sacrifice too big?"

Mr. White Cat said hesitantly.

"The Strange Land is a place like this. Luck and strength are equally important. If someone in our group is very lucky, I think we can return safely without even making any sacrifices and taking away a large amount of treasures. material world."

The night watchman said in a dull voice, and then asked Jenkins:

"This...Mr. Candle, what do you think? It seems that among our group, you should be the one with the most experience in strange situations."

"There are no tasks that cannot be completed in the mysterious environment, and there are no risks that are 100% unavoidable. Such a sacrifice is indeed too great. Maybe we lack luck, maybe we lack the special ability to cope with the current situation... ....Do you know about sin coins?”

Among this group of people, only the old tombkeeper had read the information about the sin coins, but it was obvious that no one except Jenkins carried the sin coins, and no one knew about these terrifying creatures in the strange world. Accept it. Sin coins serve as transaction currency.

Seeing Mr. Candle taking out some round green coins from his pocket and planning to ask the old devil a question, Mr. White Cat asked hesitantly:

"Do all creatures in the treacherous world accept sin coins as transaction currency?"

If Jenkins proves this, it will be incredibly valuable knowledge.

"At least most of them are."

Jenkins didn't dare to speak too fully. After all, there are exceptions to everything.

"I want to use sin coins to buy your map fragments. How do you want to sell them?"

"What crime coins do you have?"

The devil asked with a smile, seemingly very interested in Jenkins' proposal:

"The Seed of Profanity and the Ring of Greed."

Jenkins spread his hands. He knew that different monsters or supernatural beings would have additional demand for a certain type of sin coins.

"This is not what I need, but it's okay. One sin coin can be exchanged for two map fragments."

"Isn't this a bit too expensive? Honestly..."

He suddenly lowered his voice to ensure that only he and the devil could hear:

"I know what you need the sin coins for, so I know its value quite well. One sin coin is too little to exchange for two map fragments."

"But you also need to understand the value of these maps. It not only shows the location of the gate to the outside world, but also marks the location of some treasures. Some treasures are more valuable than your little coins."

The devil replied with a grin, quite satisfied with the bargain that Jenkins took out.

"As expected of a devil, he really knows how to do business..."

Jenkins must admit that what the devil said makes sense, but the problem is that including those contributed by Titan, he now only has five seeds of blasphemy and one ring of greed, which can indeed be exchanged for a total of twelve maps. But the problem is that he doesn't want to hand over all his sin coins at once. Although he has the ability to make this kind of currency, it is not every day that strange creatures come to the door and ask him to make blasphemous seeds. of.

Judging from the current situation, the cost of saving sin coins may be a bit high, but maybe you can try to trade four sin coins in exchange for 8 maps. Maybe you are lucky enough, and the 8 fragments will be enough to piece together to get out of here. path of.

Seeing that Jenkins' silence was hesitation, the people behind him looked at each other, and the old tombkeeper said:

"Mr. Candle, although I am not sure about the specific value of the sin coin, if you can take us out, everyone here can give you a compensation. We can swear to God that this is not a lie, I want to give Your reward will definitely satisfy you, and I am the benefactor of the Zhengshen Church, and the church will not forget your contribution to saving the city..."

Jenkins doesn't care about other people's rewards, he doesn't want too much. I just feel that giving out all the sin coins at once is a bit of a disadvantage, but compared to trading with other trading products, this is indeed the simplest way I can think of.

"It's a pity that I don't have special path-finding ability, otherwise I could save this money... Speaking of which, I seem to have path-finding ability."

Thinking of this, he summoned the light spot of his ability, thought about all the details after entering this strange situation, and then tried to activate the [Unknown Way Ahead]. Everything in front of him seemed to flicker, but only for less than a second, and then the purple line representing fate pointed the direction for Jenkins again.

"I really don't know what the activation conditions of this ability are, but it is indeed an ability that has been helping me since I came to this world. It is really powerful..."

He thought in his mind, and instead of turning around and leaving with the people behind him, he took out three blasphemous seeds from his pocket and handed them to the old devil.

"Change six maps first."

"Can."

With that said, he handed Jenkins six pieces of leather.

Jenkins was too lazy to guess what kind of cortex it was. He just glanced at the information on the map, imprinted the contents on the book of memories, and then burned them with a fire.

"Luckily, there happens to be a path leading to the door. Let's go."

He said to his companions, with a deliberately relaxed expression on his face.

Chapter 1379 Chapter 1356 Treasures in the Tomb

In fact, the six maps that Jenkins had just exchanged did not contain any information about the key and the location of the villa, but there was a guide to the [Unknown Road Ahead]. It didn't matter whether he exchanged it or not. He just wasted three profane seeds just to find a good excuse for himself to find the location of the door.

Even though this way of making excuses was extremely wasteful, [Unknown Road Ahead] was his deepest secret and an ability closely related to his coming to this world. He would never allow anyone to have doubts about it.

His companions were a little confused and dissatisfied with Jenkins's practice of burning the map after reading it, but after all, it was something he paid for. As long as he could really find the final exit, it would be fine to burn it.

Similarly, since Mr. Candle had paid a price, they also asked for compensation. But now no one had expensive items or cash of equal value, so everyone emptied their pockets and stuffed a bunch of messy things into Jenkins, and promised that he could find them after escaping the strange world, and they would give him another compensation.

Jenkins accepted the sundries, but did not plan to meet these people in the real world.

Before setting off, he also mentioned that on the map he bought, there was a treasure within easy reach on the fork road that deviated from the main road. Because the distance was very close, he planned to take a look first. The others discussed it and thought that they could go and take a look. With the map, it was not a waste of time.

Soon the group left the sacrifice site, and only the old demon was still standing in the dark sacrifice site. The pots of fire lit beside the sacrifice site made its shadow appear strange on the ground.

"Even his own people deceived him. He is worthy of being the one who killed the three siblings."

It exclaimed, and then with a chilling laugh, it turned into a ball of black fire and disappeared.

On the other side, Jenkins had led the group to the path among the weeds again. Compared with the previous cycle, the scenery of this journey did not change much, but the path had completely changed. When he encountered a fork in the road, he chose one side almost without hesitation. This situation also indirectly showed that he really knew the way, so the doubts of his companions because of his burning of the map were slightly alleviated.

Originally, the guidance of fate pointed to the right, but Jenkins chose the left road. According to the map, the path on the left leads to the cemetery in the countryside. The path passes through the tilted tombstones. Jenkins finally led everyone to stop at the end of the road. Further away is deeper darkness, without even light. The road only extends here. In other words, it is a dead end.

At the end of the road is a dug cemetery. The weathered stone tombstones are lying on the side. Several rusty shovels are lying with three deformed skeletons. There is no coffin in the shallow tomb, only a small box. The box is made of wood. Although it is not as badly rotten as the tombstones and skeletons, the fine workmanship can be barely seen, but it is now covered by a layer of disgusting moss.

"That's it. Among the six maps I bought, this treasure point should be the most valuable one."

Jenkins told the truth again, and then called Mr. White Cat to lift the box together. But just as the two jumped into the not very deep pit, two pairs of bone claws stretched out from the soft black soil and grabbed the ankles of the two people.

This situation was also expected. Mr. White Cat used some ability to make the white bones retreat automatically with a slight break. Jenkins directly called the huge life spirit in his body to wash his ankles. The two bone claws returned to the soil in panic like a snowman that touched the fire.

"May the dust return to the dust, and those who should leave should not stay. The final journey is open for you."

The gravekeeper said loudly at the graveside, and the bone claws that were eager to launch a second attack immediately stopped moving.

Jenkins looked up and nodded to the gravekeeper, and then he and Mr. White Cat lifted the wooden box to the ground. Because it was too heavy, Jenkins, who had the passive blessing of Titan power, was lucky, but Mr. White Cat almost didn't hold on, so after confirming that it had been lifted up, he said hello to Jenkins and let go.

A corner of the wooden box fell heavily on the ground, breaking the box, and many gold ornaments, jewels and gold coins inside slipped out from the gap.

"Hahaha, humans are always so greedy..."

The voice of the old demon came from all directions, but even Jenkins couldn't find its location.

"Even in this situation, they don't forget to look for treasures. Humans are so strange. Each of you can take an item from the box as a reward for coming here after such a long journey."

The voice faded away little by little, full of ridicule and sarcasm. Knowing that time was running out, the others took some things from the box by instinct, and Jenkins took one of the two gifts from the box by eyes.

The two gifts were in the shape of a platinum coin and a white gem. The coin was larger than the sin coin, but smaller than the alloy coin with a face value of 1 gold pound in circulation on the market. The front and back were a scale and a dagger respectively; there seemed to be flowing mist in the gem, making the pure white bead look like a large pearl. Jenkins finally chose the orb because it was similar in size to his previous [Orb of Life] and he thought his cat would like it.

"I know the location of other treasures, but for safety, let's leave now. There's no need to waste time because of greed."

When setting off again, Jenkins said to his companions. The others certainly agreed with this view, so they moved forward under the leadership of Jenkins, and arrived in front of the manor in five minutes.

There are five people here this time, so they have more ways to deal with the ghosts that attack like flies. The five people stuck together and took turns using their abilities to open the barrier. After safely entering the manor, under the leadership of Jenkins, they saw the inverted pentagram and candles, as well as the door that had no keyhole but required a key.

"So where's the key?"

Mr. White Cat asked nervously. He kept looking at his pocket watch, knowing that there was not much time left.

"The key is here, it's a simple puzzle."

Jenkins looked at the purple lines pointing directly at the inverted pentagram array in front of him, then he thought about it and squatted down and blew out the five candles.

The light in the narrow corridor immediately weakened, and the frightening red light was still so conspicuous. This red light is like the natural light in this world, it is everywhere and cannot find its source.

Chapter 1380 Chapter 1357 The Silver Key

At the end of the corridor where red light was everywhere, several people held their breath, and then they saw flames appearing on the fingertips of Mr. Candle, who was squatting down. This is his attempt to use the fire of grace to rekindle the candle he blew out, but the candle's heart does not accept this flame at all.

"Obviously this is it. I guess we have to relight the candle in our own way and the so-called key will be revealed."

He said to his friends, and then the woman whose name and title were never revealed was the first to say:

"This is simple. I have seen similar things in the ruins of ancient devil worshipers. I will go first."

As she spoke, she bit the tip of her tongue and squirted the blood onto one of the candles, and then whispered:

"The blood of passion lights the way."

There was a soft pop, and the orange flame jumped. This was the first light that was different from red that everyone saw after coming to this strange place, and there was an expression of joy on everyone's face.
