Chapter 820 - The Land of Furnaces - Part 1 (1/2)

As MistyVeil was buying the skill books, CloudDragon and LordAsked pondered. This lady has fallen into that scumbag’s trap. It’s just the beginning and she is already buying an obsessive amount of items. In the end, Ye Cang will definitely grant her a loan policy with lots of terms and conditions. That will also be when a high interest rate comes into play. Recalling their experience, they were disagreeing with what the lady was doing.

Looking at their expressions and the eye contact they were giving her, MistyVeil knew they were up to no good. This entire team is full of either liars or scammers. Just one wrong move and I’ll fall into their traps. She then pitied the guild disc in her bag. I had to trick Ji Xiao to tell me the truth. These bastards.

After resting and waiting for most of their skills to be cooled down, they continued their adventure. Ye Cang pointed at the hallway far away, “Welp, I’m not going in there. It is infested with traps and guards are everywhere too. It’s not like I can’t get through them all alone but it’ll be dangerous if I get discovered. Hmm, I don’t think I’m gonna take the risk. Your lives are nothing but if I die, it’ll be a shame to the team…”

“……” Everyone rolled their eyes. Don’t you know we seriously hope that you’ll just die every time? The best will be the boss dying and bringing you along so that we can touch the boss safely. ThornyRose then recalled the horrible incident back at Beginner’s Village. We got wiped out and he was the only one left… then… there’s no then anymore… but that fella doesn’t die that often when battling bosses. It’s either we all died and he is the one left or we all died and he escaped.

Ye Cang then led the others to the outside of the hall, made a few attempts to disarm the traps and kept away the materials and the trap-triggering machine.

Standing in front of the door of the hall, Little Ye Tian carefully observed the texts and hieroglyphs on it which were all created by the dwarfs. Ye Cang translated, “The Land of Furnaces, the source of all weapons.”

“This should be the largest forging workshop in the grave. Legends had it that the Star of Broken Sky was born in this place. War Fist was the main blacksmith and Lightning Fist helped out… We’ll discuss when we enter,” Little Ye Tian recalled the incident in the literature.

Inside it, there were rooms in every corner. Drains were flowing with lava. Ye Cang gave  a hand-signal to tell them that there was a guard at the corner of the room and everyone nodded as they sneaked over. Zhang Zhengxiong dashed at the dwarf zombie who was carrying a hammer into the wall and the team ended its life as fast as they could, trying to reduce the noise to the minimum.

As Ye Cang opened the door inch by inch, he scanned the entire room with his night vision and saw a few spiritual lamps at a few corners. I can’t get past those lamps. If I use Shadow Steps, I might accidentally run into a trap. Suddenly, a feeling prompted Ye Cang to look at the room on the left side of the hallway. He smelt treasure. “You guys attack from this direction. I’ll head over there for an inspection first.”

“Old Zhao, Little Tian and Brother Asked will be following you,” ThornyRose said.

“That’s unnecessary. I have invisibility and Shadow Step. With them coming, I won’t be able to move,” Ye Cang explained.

“Or how about this… All of us will follow you and fight our way through. Once we’re done, we’ll just come back out,” ThornyRose smiled.

“Alright, very well, that’s the final decision,” ThornyRose replied before Ye Cang could answer.

Ye Cang raised his eyebrows and disappeared in a blink of an eye like he was part of a magic trick. ThornyRose exclaimed, “He is going after a chest! Get him!”

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately gave chase, trying all sorts of ways to stop him.

Upon opening the door, two dwarf zombies and a grey demon were the first things that came into Ye Cang’s sight.

“Intruders, your fresh blood will be my cooldown potion. Muahahaha…” one of the dwarfs had a deep and scary voice.
