Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

After doing all this, Bell left the Dream and returned to the Bone Spire.

"Alright, this is the last box."

With a smirk, Bell ran to the last box, fiddled with it for a bit, and then opened it.

This time, Bell finally felt like he was opening a treasure chest.

The moment the box was opened, the light provided by Bell's Flame Ahoge illuminated the items inside.

The items inside the box instantly refracted the light entering them into a mottled, fragmented blue glow.

Azure Tears

Type: Legendary Jewelry

Features: [Energy Recovery], [Luck +1]

Description: A magical ring crafted from a mysterious gemstone from the depths of the ocean, possessing the energy reserves of the sea, capable of rewarding its wearer in crucial moments. Trust me, wearing it will bring you good fortune.

The ring in the box, inlaid with a blue gemstone, can restore the wearer's energy once every twenty-four hours during battle.

Imagine if two evenly matched opponents, after fighting to the point of exhaustion, one of them suddenly perks up, as if he has gained extra energy. How unpleasant would the opponent look?

Moreover, this ring is the first piece of equipment that Bell has ever seen with the [Luck] attribute.

The ethereal concept of "luck" is not unaffected in the magical world.

"To accommodate different finger sizes, this ring also has an adaptive size function."

By infusing magic and spiritual power into the Azure Tears, Bell took control of this legendary accessory.

After the ring was bound to its owner, it obeyed Bell's will and stopped reflecting that obviously valuable blue light, becoming more understated.

I don’t know when it started, but Bell has also gotten used to the way this world operates, and when in doubt, he first tries to test things with magic and mental power.

"As expected of a legendary piece of jewelry, it can even adjust the size of the ring."

Because this ornament was made for humans, even when shrunk to its limit, Bell couldn't wear it on his finger; he could only slip it onto the base of his short, thick tail.

But as soon as he put on the ring, Bell felt a mysterious magic flow into his body.

Bell knew that when his magic power dropped below 10%, the large amount of magic power stored in the ring would instantly flow into his body and replenish his magic power.

I just don't know when this ring was made.

As for the method used, in the setting of [Azure Tears], once the magic power is fully replenished, it will stop supplying energy to the outside world and enter a cooldown period.

It seems the creator of this ring didn't intend to directly utilize the immense energy within the gemstone; rather, they wanted to use it for something more mystical.

Bell could sense that the reason why this enormous energy was sealed within the gem and could only be accessed in small quantities was related to the [Luck] attribute, but he had no way of guessing the mystery behind it.

"The creator of this ring had an amazing understanding of the logic behind how the world works."

With a sigh, Bell said that he couldn't understand the technology in the ring at this stage, but he would like to try to reverse engineer the creation technology of the Azure Tear one day.

Bell himself estimated that he was already a master on the path of magic, and only then would he be qualified to climb on the shoulders of this giant.

"A legacy spanning a global civilization, even a small fragment, is extremely remarkable."

Smacking his lips, Bell reviewed the three treasures on the sixth floor.

The Meteorite Iron Spear, thanks to its exceptionally high-quality raw materials, has become the dream weapon for melee fighters after processing.

[Inherited Martial Arts] As an inheritance that focuses on spear martial arts and supplements it with combat experience and military formation command, it can quickly train a spear master and establish a sect, which is also of great value.

The ring, Azure Tears, is a legendary piece of jewelry worth a fortune, not to mention the concept of luck it embodies in its creation.

Any one of these three items could cause a major upheaval among adventurers. Bell even felt that Azure Star City might not be able to handle a dangerous place like the City of Bones.

"There's a feeling that a storm is brewing..."

Muttering something, Bell continued walking towards the top of the Bone Spire.

If the treasure vault on the sixth floor contains such valuable treasures, what should be placed on the seventh floor?

Bell was intensely curious about the seventh level; he wanted to see what could be located on the highest level, something even more important than the tomb's occupant.

"Is there only one item on this smallest floor?"

The seventh floor of the Bone Spire is very small, probably only five square meters.

There is only a stone table here, and a metal talisman placed on it.

This metal sigil is neither a priceless treasure nor a magical artifact; it is simply a unique identifier crafted using special methods and possessing a distinctive aura.

The sole value of the metal seal was to reveal the identity of the tomb's occupant—a nobleman from a fallen kingdom.

This is the identity mark bestowed upon the tomb owner by the king. In the eyes of the tomb owner, it is more important than his spear and his legacy. It is also a symbol of his loyalty to the kingdom even after death.

"The tops of the other bone spires are probably similar."

Shaking his head, Bell withdrew from the seventh floor; it held no value for him.

He traveled downwards and quickly exited the Bone Spire from the first level. The negative energy and deathly aura inside were too heavy; Bell's body couldn't withstand staying any longer.

"The sunflowers in the green garden await the morning dew to dry in the sun; the warm spring spreads its blessings, and all things shine with glory."

After leaving the tunnel he had dug earlier, Bell arrived outside the influence of the Bone Spire. He recited the first half of "The Long Ballad" dozens of times, and then used the light of the setting sun to expel the death energy that had seeped into his body.

Night was falling, and Bell spotted trails of adventurers around the bone spire.

This group discovered the newly appeared bone spire and is currently gathering information around it, preparing to begin their conquest tomorrow.

Chapter 91 Remarks on the launch

Around noon, I received the notification that the product was going on sale. To be honest, it was quite nerve-wracking; it just happened so suddenly.

The editor said that there was a problem with the book's data; it wasn't increasing in value anymore, so there was no point in including it in the later recommendations. Therefore, it was put on the shelves directly.

Generally speaking, the author's note upon release is meant to elicit sympathy and beg for subscriptions, but as someone who has been a long-time reader, I know that writing this stuff isn't very effective.

We've all seen plenty of those self-proclaimed "great authors" and "superstars" who whine and complain about being poor in their book launch announcements; they write better than me anyway.

Let me talk about the plans after the book is released. I didn't write much during the new book period, but I'll have to update a lot after it's released. The editor requires 10,000 words a day, and I don't know if I'll have that much time to write.

But try to earn 10,000 a day if you can, and if you can't earn 10,000, at least aim for 6,000 or 8,000.

The outline of this book is quite long, and a lot of settings have been written. The later plot may not become more and more explosive, but at least it won't mess up the story.

If you're willing, come and support us financially; if not, just exchange it for a book.

As the saying goes, wildflowers always smell sweeter than garden flowers, but garden flowers are always waiting for you to come home, aren't they? The book about bamboo rats is right here; just take a peek whenever you feel like it.

Chapter 92 The Little Train Starts Running!

"We've confirmed that this is a newly discovered spire of bones, and we should be among the first to discover it."

"Immediately notify the main force of the adventure team to rush here, and the rest of you to scout out the surrounding area."

After arriving at the outer perimeter of the Bone Spire, the adventurers quickly began to act according to the original plan.

Every day, new bone spikes emerge from the ground within the bamboo forest, and many adventure groups have claimed a piece of land and begun developing the bone spikes.

So far, a few medium-sized adventure groups have completed the development of the Bone Spire. Although the Bone Spire they stormed were all in ruins and the undead inside were not very strong, there were still quite a few good items.

"A seven-story bone spire like this is extremely difficult to conquer. Even the large adventure groups are not progressing very quickly. It is said that the Qingren Adventure Group was defeated three times by the undead commander in the bone spire, and many people died. They have now been forced to withdraw from the bamboo forest."

"Once our people arrive, we hope to successfully swallow this tower of bones."

The adventurers who had arrived here were constantly talking, while Bell hid not far from them, quietly listening to their conversation.

Human adventure teams don't have Bell's carefree attitude when exploring dangerous places.

From the moment they set out, they need to have detailed plans, from route planning and supply transportation to maintaining the condition of the main members, all the way to combat adventures and the delivery of spoils after the adventures are completed...

Take exploring the Bone Spire as an example. Ordinary adventurers need to start preparing before even entering the bamboo forest: what to eat along the way, where to go after entering the bamboo forest, what to do if they encounter monsters, how to deal with the living remains on the outside of the Bone Spire, and how to get inside the Bone Spire...

Bell's behavior of digging a tunnel to cross the terrain and rushing directly into the Bone Spire is truly an anomaly.

The most absurd thing is that Bell doesn't need to worry about supplying provisions.

Since Bell can quickly return to Azure Star City by taking a minecart, venturing into the Bamboo Sea is effortless for him, even as easy as a picnic.

Ordinary adventurers, on the other hand, need to plan everything they need along the way. Once they enter the bamboo forest, they have to stay for a long time, and they won't return to human cities for a month or two.

"This is all thanks to the time I spent laying the underground rails; the initial investment has yielded an excellent return."

He quickly left the adventurer and returned to the spot where he had parked his minecart on the outskirts of the bamboo forest.

The sun is about to set, and the main force of these adventurers has not yet arrived. They will not begin their exploration of the Bone Spire at night, a time when their strength is not at its peak.

The numerous living remains wandering around the Bone Spire became the first obstacle preventing them from exploring further.

"At least until tomorrow daytime, these adventurers won't enter the Bone Spire, so I have plenty of time to move the loot away."

Sitting on the minecart, Bell relaxed and waited to return to his underground base.

Bell is now almost out of supplies. After exploring the Bone Spire, he has used up most of the resources stored in his inventory.

Want to move

Bell needs to have sufficient supplies of loot from the Bone Spire, at least enough to set up a row of underground rails to transport the [Meteorite Iron Spear] away.

"Railways and minecarts are necessary; you can't do without them."
