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

Chapter 722, Section 2.7-9: La Soméshmiri Ruins: Treasure

The door slammed shut.

The man had barely stepped inside when he heard a deep, arrogant yet slightly lazy voice, "You're back? Xie Qing."

The man glanced briefly at the guy who was reclining in a chair, holding a book and completely obscuring his face, before walking into the bathroom.

"Xie Qing, what do you think of those people?" Seeing that Xie Qing didn't speak, he asked again.

Xie Qing wiped her hands with a handkerchief as she walked to the window, looked at the four people on the street, and finally fixed her gaze on Mu Yegui.

The next second, those clear, silver eyes met his blue eyes directly. Xie Qing narrowed his eyes and whispered, "...I'm sweating bullets."

He seemed to have heard something amusing and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, that's really funny... I'm actually looking forward to seeing your opinion."

The book fell to the ground with a 'thud,' its pages turning softly until it finally stopped on the page about the Sun Altar.

His golden, lion-like mane swayed gently as he walked, and his golden-red vertical pupils were resolute and filled with intense fighting spirit. He walked to the coat rack and casually pulled down a white coat, draping it over his shoulders.

"Time to get to work, Xie Qing."

Xie Qing sighed softly, untied the apron around her waist and the triangular scarf tied around her head, revealing thick, dark green curly hair like seaweed, and her blue eyes were extremely indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

the other side.

Noyce recalled Xie Qing's words and whispered, "This guy is so strange."

Dao Lin looked at the pocket watch in his hand, but then froze.

"Recovered..."

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying Dao Lin's voice into the air before it dissipated.

"What?" Shui Qi didn't hear the sentence clearly and asked subconsciously.

"I mean……"

Shui Qi walked to Dao Lin's side and looked at the hands of the pocket watch, which had started moving again. He pondered, "It's back to normal now. Were those things killed or did they leave?"

"I'm more inclined to leave temporarily, or rather, to be outside the scope of what's affecting me," Dao Lin said slowly, frowning.

It had only been about five minutes since the man who had been talking strange left. It was impossible to say that the matter was completely resolved. Although it was impossible to estimate his strength, he was definitely not the type who preferred fighting. Judging from his aura, he was a wise man.

"Ye Gui, what do you think..." Dao Lin turned around and saw that the place where Mu Ye Gui should have been was now empty.

Noyce lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "You two go examine the body, I'll go check other places." Without waiting for their reply, she walked away in another direction.

The streets were deserted and silent at night.

As Noyce walked down the street, observing the scenery around her, she suddenly stopped and instinctively clutched her chest with her right hand.

There... it used to beat, but now it can no longer be felt.

A gentle breeze lifted his long, dark purple hair, which was tied in a ponytail. Strands of hair obscured his unfathomable purple eyes, and his handsome face lacked its usual gentle and kind smile.

He carried a finely crafted longsword on his back, which gleamed with a unique light under the moonlight. "Mu Yegui, what are you doing there?" A dark purple eye quietly watched Mu Yegui, who stood alone in the street, and asked.

The girl stood on the quiet, deserted street. Her long, misty gray hair appeared somewhat transparent in the moonlight, and her black dress fluttered slightly. She was lonely and indifferent. Although the two were only ten meters apart, it was as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

After hearing Noyce's words, Mu Yegui turned his head slightly to look at him and slowly raised his hand to make a shushing gesture.

His dark purple eyes narrowed sharply, and he stood rooted to the spot as if his feet were rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Those silver vertical pupils were colder than the bright moon in the sky and more desolate than the lofty snow mountain, unable to reflect anyone's image or leave anyone's mark.

When Noyce came to his senses, he found that his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, and the eyes he met were not those terrifying vertical pupils, but the same cold silver eyes as usual. Those icy eyes seemed to be just an illusion.

No! That's not an illusion!
It actually existed...

"What's wrong? Noyce, you've been standing there in a daze. Did you see something?" Mu Yegui clasped his hands behind his back, bent slightly, tilted his head to the side, and looked at him with curiosity.

His aura was as calm as usual, without any abnormality.

Noyce's eyes darkened slightly; she must have been mistaken after all.

But when did she come up to him?

"No, I'm just a little tired. I saw you suddenly walk away and wanted to come over and ask if you found something. Dao Lin and Shui Qi went to examine the body first. We can go back to the hotel and wait for their news," Noyce said with a light laugh.

“No, it’s just… the ants hid better than I expected, and there were more of them…” Mu Yegui said in a low voice.

"Ants?" Noyce asked, puzzled.

“Miss Millie has really gone to great lengths to entertain us. Since she’s being so hospitable, we should certainly enjoy it.” Mu Yegui paused for a moment, then added, “Noyce, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s trip to the ruins.”

Behind her, her hands, slightly clasped together, were tinged with red. Crimson liquid dripped from her pale fingers and sharp nails into the soil, disappearing completely.

"Is it related to Millie?" Noyce asked, puzzled.

Mu Yegui didn't answer Noyce's question, but continued to speak to himself, "Noyce, aren't you going to help Daolin and Shui Qi? There seems to be a fierce battle going on there, and it seems something terrible has happened. With just the two of them, it'll be difficult for them to escape." After all, neither of them is good at fighting. Although Shui Qi is much better than Daolin, he is still a long way from being a skilled fighter.

“Shui Qi brought a gun,” Noyce said.

Mu Yegui shook his head and said, "But guns are only effective against normal living things, and the monsters in this dungeon are not normal at all. Guns are the most useless thing in this dungeon. Noys, are you really not going to go and rescue them?"

"Then why don't you go?" Noyce asked in a low voice.

Mu Yegui tilted his head and looked at Noyce without answering him. He simply stared quietly into those dark purple eyes. The cold silver eyes were calm and deep, like an ancient pool that could not be disturbed by any ripples and could not reflect anyone's image.

Noyce, stared at like that, suddenly realized what was happening. Standing before him was the Samuro, the most terrifying and bloodthirsty race in the interstellar space. The Samuro had no heart; no matter how good the relationship, they would still stand by and watch someone die when it was time to do so. No matter how close the relationship seemed, the Samuro's affection for anyone was always zero.
In their eyes, there is only food and inedible food, nothing more.

Therefore, never expect Samuro to reach out and save you. The probability of surviving by saving yourself is greater than being saved, because the probability of being saved is always zero.

Noyce smiled, a bitter smile on her face, and said softly, "At least you told me we should save people."

This transitional chapter is a typical foreshadowing and cryptic chapter.
