"It's nothing. Let's go!" Shaking his head slightly to dispel the strange feeling in his heart, Lu Ming continued on his way with the others.

On the way, Lu Ming would occasionally check the information on his phone and the skill bar, planning how to allocate skill points in the future.

Because of the dungeon, he obtained the Metal Sound skill book and unlocked three new skills on the massive skill tree: the Steel-type Lightning Cannon and Alloy Claw, and the Thunder-type Electric Ball.

The electric ball's damage is determined by its own agility, so Lu Ming passed on it. Of the two strength-based skills, the Grating Cannon, which the Dragoon had used and almost killed Lu Ming with, was the skill Lu Ming most wanted among all the skills he could learn. However, learning the Grating Cannon required three skill points, and he didn't have half a point at the moment. So, he could only look at it and admire it from afar.

However, what puzzled him was that, unlike usual, he hadn't received any notification about the world's will extracting his skills whenever he learned a new one.

This made him wonder if it was because Yusaha had also obtained the Metal Sound skill book and learned Metal Sound, so the world's will directly extracted the skill from her, which was why it hadn't sent him a message. After all, Yusaha was a person of this world, and there was no need to give him any compensation, nor was there any need to give Yusaha any compensation.

"The God of Magic made the dungeon teleport five people just for this? How stingy!" Muttering to himself, Lu Ming put his phone away and walked step by step toward the few oblivious little rabbits that had appeared in front of them not far away.

Along the way, we fought off quite a few demon rabbits, and after completing our daily tasks, it was almost dark.

In a secluded spot by the roadside where there were few trees, the group lit a campfire.

They sat around the campfire, roasting the poor demon rabbits. Only then did Lu Ming notice that the number of demon rabbit corpses in his phone's inventory was approaching 50.

Although they wouldn't spoil if placed in the inventory, Lu Ming wondered if, if this continued, his inventory would eventually be filled with groups of magical rabbits.

After careful consideration, Lu Ming decided that he would try not to put away the Magic Rabbits when doing daily tasks in the future. As long as there was enough meat for 50 Magic Rabbits in his inventory, it would be fine.

Under the starlight, by the roadside, eating and drinking, everyone sits around the campfire, and there are always one or two people who like to tell stories.

Dex is that kind of sprite.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when he suddenly started telling ghost stories, which frightened the children and girls in the group. Even Yusaha, a woman about the same age as Lu Ming, was scared.

However, it's no wonder they were afraid, given how similar this place is to the scenes in Dexter's story.

"That day, a group of people were traveling when it got dark, so they lit a fire by the roadside. After they finished eating and were preparing to sleep, they suddenly heard someone crying for help. Desperate to save the person, they grabbed torches without thinking and went to find the person. But they searched and searched, but couldn't find them..."

Lu Ming, who thought Dex's explanation wasn't very good, suddenly continued, "Then, they started to think that they should split up to find the person faster. So they each took a torch and separated. But as they searched in different directions for the person who was shouting, 'Help! Is anyone there? Please help me!', one of them suddenly noticed that one of his companions' torches had gone out. In an instant, a very bad premonition arose in his heart. He hurriedly ran to where his companion's torch had gone out, but he didn't find his companion; he only found the extinguished torch on the ground."

He was terrified and wanted to find his companions, so he looked towards them, hoping to rejoin them. But when he turned around, he found that all his companions' torches had gone out! He was terrified. The cowardly boy frantically ran back to the campfire, looking around in fear, afraid something might suddenly jump out. Just then, he heard a voice behind him, asking, "Oh, you're back!" Thinking it was one of his companions, he turned around to look at the person behind him!

"And then, we saw... um~ um~ um..." Just as Lu Ming was about to finish telling the story, Yusaha and Lily, who were quite frightened, covered their mouths together.

"Heh! Serves you right for making it sound so scary!" Dex, watching Lu Ming struggling and begging for help with his mouth covered by two beautiful women, couldn't help but laugh at Lu Ming's predicament, holding his terrified wife and children. But he forgot that he was the one who started this whole thing...

Just then, a cry for help, just like in Lu Ming's story, suddenly rang out from the bushes not far from them: "Help! Is anyone there? Please come and save me!"

"Ahhh!!!" Upon hearing the cries for help, Yusaha, Lily, and Dex's wife, who had just listened to the ghost story, all screamed in unison, startling Lu Ming and the others.

However, Lu Ming, who wasn't particularly afraid of ghosts and felt that with so many of them around, there was nothing to be afraid of, broke free from Yusaha and Lily's clutches and walked over there.

Before he could even walk over, a short, bearded man crawled out of the bushes and struggled to reach out his hand to Lu Ming.

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately grabbed him and pulled him away from the bushes. At this moment, Dex, the Nezha-like spirit, also came over and helped Lu Ming drag the dwarf to the campfire.

But soon, Lu Ming noticed that one of the dwarf's legs was entangled by a thin vine.

"Vines? Wait a minute! There are no trees here, so how come there are vines?" After looking around in confusion, Lu Ming had Dex hold the dwarf back, while he himself followed the vines on the dwarf's ankles into the grass.

A moment later, he emerged from the bushes carrying a small, dark blue plant ball with eyes, a mouth, tiny feet, and a few small leaves. Dex, who was pulling the dwarf along, noticed that the vines on the dwarf's ankles were extending from this plant ball.

"Doo~" When Lu Ming carried the plant ball to the dwarf, the plant ball suddenly cried out and glared angrily at the dwarf.

The dwarf was trembling with fear at the plant ball's cry. He seemed terrified by it.

"What is this thing?" Dex, who was holding the dwarf, asked with a bewildered look at the plant ball in Lu Ming's arms.

"This little guy is called Walking Grass! As the name suggests, it's grass that can walk." After gently touching the plant ball and making it retract the vines from the dwarf's ankle, Lu Ming held the plant ball in front of Dex's face, letting him stare at the plant ball.

"I've never heard of grass that can walk!" At this moment, freed from the vines, the dwarf got up on his own. However, he seemed to have a bad temper, and as soon as he stood up, he shouted loudly at Lu Ming.

For someone who gets saved but still has a bad temper, Lu Ming only has one thing to say: "Use the Walking Grass to absorb it!"

Immediately, the dwarf was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Dex, the huge elf, and looked at Lu Ming with a wronged expression.

Lu Ming ignored him and carried the walking grass back to the campfire.

At this moment, Yusahar and the others were scanning Lu Ming's Oddish and the dwarf with strange looks. They found it hard to believe that such a large dwarf could be made to cry for help by such a tiny creature, given the significant difference in their sizes.

"What is this thing called Oddish? Why have I never heard of it before?" Yusaha boldly sat down next to Lu Ming, ignoring Lily's angry glare, poked the Oddish with his finger, and asked Lu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming suddenly laughed and asked, "Could it be that you've heard of soul magic and the Dark Ring before?"

You mean...?

“To be honest, I’m also wondering why this little guy is here. But since we’ve met by chance, let’s just let it stay with us. After all, I’m pretty familiar with these kinds of creatures.” Lu Ming interrupted Yusaha’s question with a strange remark, looking at the flickering campfire.

At this moment, the dwarf and Dex also came to the campfire.

He was a little angry, but dared not show it, so he complained to others while walking obediently in Lu Ming's arms.

"Do you know how brutal this thing is? Look how thin I've become, I'm practically skin and bones! It's all because this thing has sucked the flesh from my body! If I hadn't run fast, the great Rafaam would have died on this damned Hercules Road!"

"Hercules? Hercules?" Upon hearing the dwarf's words, the only thing Lu Ming noticed was the word Hercules, because it was the name of the Greek god of strength.

"Hercules? What's that?"

However, it was obvious that no one else knew who Hercules was, or what kind of god Hercules was.

"It's nothing. By the way, you said your name is Rafam?"

"That's right! I am the greatest archaeologist of all time, Rafam Tosvenland!"

With elves and dwarves, what else is missing from the races of Western fantasy? Also, the author who finally managed to defeat the dancer is here to ask for help.

Chapter Fourteen - The Senior's Relics (Seeking Recommendations)

Upon hearing the name, for some reason, Lu Ming immediately thought of a certain notorious thief who cosplayed as a mummy dwarf.

However, he didn't say it in a very rude way.

"Um... Great archaeologist, how did you end up fighting with this little guy?"

Rafam pointed in the direction of Paris, then said with lingering fear, "When I was doing archaeological work at a small ruin over there, I don't know how, I accidentally triggered a mechanism and fell into a hole, and that's when I encountered this thing. As for how we fought... I think it was because I accidentally stepped on one of its leaves!"

"Ruins?" Lu Ming looked towards Paris, their destination.

He didn't think there would be any relics or anything like that along this road, especially not anything small.

"What? You don't believe the greatest archaeologist, Rafam? I'll take you there first thing tomorrow morning! Then you'll know whether the greatest Rafam was lying or not." Seeing that Lu Ming didn't quite believe him, Rafam immediately retorted angrily.

"Alright. We're going this way anyway, might as well take a look." After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming nodded in agreement to go see the ruins. It was on the way anyway.

Thus, a dwarf and a walking grass joined their group.

After a brief exchange, Lu Ming and his group, having lost interest in further conversation, settled down around the campfire to sleep. Of course, people took turns keeping watch to prevent attacks from wild animals or a sudden outburst from the dwarf.

And just like that, dawn broke quickly.

Awakened by the sunlight, Lu Ming wanted to rub his eyes, but was surprised to find that his two hands were holding Lily and Yusaha's delicate bodies respectively, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Is it already dawn?" Perhaps awakened by Lu Ming's movements, Yusaha slowly sat up, opened one eye, and looked around. Lily, on the other side, also woke up at the same time.

To cover up his embarrassment, Lu Ming had no choice but to pretend to be asleep. It was only after a while that Lily pulled him up.

However, at this moment, Dex, who was also aroused, suddenly nudged Lu Ming with his elbow while they went to relieve themselves in the bushes, and asked with a sly grin, "How does it feel to have two women on your left and right?"

Lu Ming's face immediately darkened, and he quickly handed over a can of apple soda: "Don't tell anyone!"

Dex walked away with a grin, holding his apple soda. Then Fren and Rafaam, the dwarf who had only temporarily joined them yesterday, ran over and reached out to him.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming's face turned as black as Bao Zheng in Kaifeng.

But fearing being torn to shreds by the two beauties, he had no choice but to give away all the rewards from yesterday's daily tasks.

Watching Fren and Rafam run off with their soda, Lu Ming gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do but swallow his anger. After all, he had been with two women on either side of him late last night.

After a simple breakfast, the group continued on their way.

Along the way, Lily and Yusaha both found it strange that Lu Ming always looked at the other men in the group with the same feeling as if they were extortionists.

After walking for about an hour or two, Lu Ming and the others were taken by Rafam to what he called the ruins.

Looking at the dilapidated house hidden in the woods no more than 300 meters from the main road, Lu Ming smiled foolishly and slowly looked at Rafam, making Rafam feel uneasy.

"This is the ruins you were talking about?"

“This house is over fifty years old, what else could it be but a relic?” Rafam stubbornly insisted, clinging to his pride.

"Oddish absorbs and serves!"

"Ah~! No~! Ah~!"

Seeing the Oddish extend its tiny vines and walk towards him step by step, Rafaam was so frightened that he fell to the ground, screaming and inching backward.

Seeing this, Lu Ming decided not to continue. He picked up the walking grass and walked into the dilapidated house that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

As soon as they pushed open the door, a musty smell hit them, causing Lu Ming and the others to frown.

The house was old and dilapidated, basically inhabited only by spiders and termites. However, in the very center of the house, there was a large hole. Although not very deep, it wasn't easy to get down into either.

Judging from the trapdoor on the floor in one corner of the house, the large hole is actually the basement of the house.

Lu Ming walked to the trapdoor, lifted it open, and revealed the staircase leading downstairs.

"I didn't expect there to be stairs here!" Just as Lu Ming took out the Sage's Candlestick and was about to go down to take a look, Rafaam, who had come in with him, suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey, are you really an archaeologist? Why do you seem to know nothing?" Before Lu Ming could even complain, Fren and Dex, who came in with the two of them, questioned Rafam in unison.

"Of course I am!"

"Oh! Then why didn't you even notice the stairs under the trapdoor?"

"you......"

"Alright, stop fooling around. Let's go downstairs and check the situation first, then we'll leave." Lu Ming glanced at the three men joking around and making a ruckus, sighed, and quickly interrupted them.

Last night, the appearance of the Oddish made Lu Ming realize that he wasn't the only one who had transmigrated. Therefore, he had to explore the place where Rafaam encountered the Oddish. Otherwise, he might spend a long time lost in thought.

"Um...you go first!"

"Nobles would never go to such a dirty place."

My wife and kids are still out there!

Rafaam, along with Fren and Dex, the three dwarves, humans, and elves, all glanced at the dark basement and then simultaneously took a step back.

"..." Lu Ming slapped his face and sighed. Utterly disappointed with these three unreliable people, Lu Ming had no choice but to carry the Walking Grass and the Sage's Candlestick alone, step by step, into the basement.

It was so dark here that the candles on the Sage's Candlestick lit up automatically.
