I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 301, 1.21-17: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
"Whose little wolfhound is this? It looks so pitiful." A teasing female voice came from beside me.

Mingxi subconsciously rubbed her eyes, then looked up at the woman who had spoken, her face full of vigilance.

Her light green eyes looked at Mingxi with a half-smile. She was playing with a short flute that was as clear as white jade in her hand, which made her fingers look extremely slender.

A simple silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand faintly gleamed. She lightly touched her pink lips with her fingertip and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so wary of me. I'm not your enemy."

"Name." Mingxi stared at her coldly, his lake-blue eyes scrutinizing her, as if judging the truthfulness and reliability of her words.

He believed he was sufficiently vigilant about his surroundings even when he was thinking, but before she spoke, he hadn't noticed her presence at all, as if she had appeared out of thin air.

Given this person's background, the veracity of her words is questionable and she is not trustworthy at all.

"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have warned you," she said with a helpless smile.

"If you're not going to answer, you can leave," Mingxi said coldly.

Seeing Mingxi's hostile expression, she simply chuckled indifferently and reminded her, "You'd better not go to the valley ahead. There are large rocks that have collapsed there, and it's a bit dangerous." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Mingxi called out to her, "Since you came from the front, have you seen someone who looks exactly like me?"

She pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I didn't see the person you were talking about."

Mingxi's expression changed slightly. "How is that possible? He was clearly heading towards the valley!"

“If you encounter any danger along the way, it’s not impossible that you won’t see it. After all, you’re currently in the Crown Prince instance, which is known as the Unpredictable Kingdom where things can turn out in unpredictable ways. It’s full of variables.” She paused, then added, “Whether it’s alarmist or not, just use your own little head to figure it out.”

Mingxi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded to her and said, "Thanks for the reminder." After saying that, she ran away.

She watched Mingxi's figure recede into the distance, raised an eyebrow slightly, and muttered to herself, "It's not exactly meddling, just something I did on the spur of the moment. Anyway, Qin doesn't know, so let's just leave it at that."

the other side.

In a dimly lit, enclosed room, only candles burned, the boy was bound to a pillar with cold, black chains, and in front of him stood three cloaked figures whose faces and genders were indistinguishable.

His silver, tousled hair appeared somewhat dull in the dim candlelight. He lowered his head and asked softly, "I don't think I have what you need."

The map is still on the boulder in the valley. He was captured by this group before he even had a chance to get it, although he didn't resist.

Ming Jin raised her eyes to look at the bow and quiver that had been thrown into a corner in the distance, then lowered her eyes again, waiting for those people to speak.

The three of them were whispering to each other, seemingly discussing how to deal with Ming Jin.

The blue crystal between her brows shimmered with an unusual color. Ming Jin was glad that he hadn't removed the crystal that she used to enhance her physical abilities.

As long as he wore this blue crystal, the person in his line of sight could hear him easily, no matter how far away they were. Not only that, it also enhanced his eyesight and hearing. He bought it specifically to use as an aid when using a bow and arrow; it was essentially a different kind of glasses.

The three were discussing offering him to the Dark King; one opposed, one agreed, and the third was unable to decide.

Dark King?
Speaking of which, when he was looking through the information about the Dark Tower, he came across a legend that the Dark Tower was called the Dark Tower because it was a symbol that once sealed away the rebellious Dark King.

Every so often, a pure and radiant offering must be presented as food to re-secure the crumbling seal.

If the sacrifices are lost or the tower is destroyed, the Dark King will return to wreak havoc on humanity once more. It's as unbelievable as a fairy tale. At first, he wouldn't have believed it, but now, listening to their rhetoric, he's thinking that perhaps he should start to believe it.

Normally, sealed objects do not have a physical form; that is, a body of the correct type must be provided for them to use after they are released.

It's unclear which category he belongs to now, or perhaps he doesn't belong to either category and is merely a tool to be used.

The more I listened, the stranger it seemed. As long as the Dark Tower existed, the Dark King could not possibly have come out. Why were they saying that the Dark King had already returned to the human world?

it's wired……

Something must be wrong here.

The discussion gradually subsided, as if the verdict on his fate had already been decided.

"May I make a request?" Ming Jin asked before they could speak.

The three exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up, "What are your requirements for improvement?"

Ming Jin chuckled and said, "I admire your Dark King. Would you be so kind as to introduce me?"

The missions offer no hints, meaning that whatever you do is within the rules. Since the missions target the girl in the tower, his primary objective is to get close to her, and he can choose any method to achieve this.

He didn't have much time left to wait, so he wouldn't wait for Mingxi to catch up.

He plans to go ahead and explore this instance first.

Ming Jin didn't know if Ming Xi would forgive him for acting on his own initiative. He clearly didn't want to hurt his brother, but there was no way to undo it.

Because he knew very well that if that thing actually happened, the outcome would be something he absolutely did not want to see.

He had spent countless attempts to find this one breakthrough, and he would absolutely not allow anyone to stop him.

"Can you bear to refuse the request of a faithful believer? I have come to rescue the Dark King." His lake-blue eyes held a hint of a smile, but his inner world was filled with gloom and desolation as he spoke to them with a light laugh.

The three looked at each other and finally chose to unlock Ming Jin's chains.

"Could you introduce me to the great Dark King?" Ming Jin asked softly, looking down at the bruises on her arm.

His first step was to meet with the Dark King to confirm something.

The second step was to confirm that the Dark King was as he imagined before he would have a reason to negotiate with him.

Thirdly, he will replace the girl and be imprisoned in the Dark Tower.

In the fourth step, Mingxi will be saved.

Besides the dungeon, there is also a personal storyline for the twins.
