When You Huan walked into the yard, he was immediately attracted by the environment of the courtyard.
From the outside, this yard looks like an ordinary country yard.
The inside is a different world.
Seeing the stranger coming, several light-bodied greyhounds looked over warily.
This ancient dog is tall, slender, muscular, and runs as fast as a cheetah. It is a hunting dog.
It shares the same long face as several similar hounds, such as the Greyhound and Saluki.
When they turned their heads to look, he seemed to see several car seats.
In addition, the compound also houses several native mastiffs and an adult lynx.
When he passed by them, their eyes were first alert and sharply focused, and then they seemed to sense the animal awe emanating from him and showed a slight fear.
Although they were afraid, they still bared their teeth at him in silent threat.
At this time, a whistle was heard, and all the animals calmed down and lay back in their nests.
You Huan saw Chen Zifan and Eve at the door of the house.
Eve was wearing a long skirt and sitting on a small stool, with her round and slender legs bent, peeling edamame with a serious look on her face...
He looks like he has been assimilated into the rural area of Qianxia.
It feels even weirder when you know that Eve is controlled by two sugar gliders.
Seeing You Huan coming, both of them stood up to greet him.
No nonsense, straight to the point.
"Take a look at this superficial information first. If you are still willing to team up with us after reading it, we can discuss more detailed intelligence."
You Huan took the computer, and on it was a document consisting of a large amount of information.
In the territory of Huiyue Empire, near an isolated village.
An ancient ruin that has never been discovered.
A strange influence suspected to be emanating from the ruins.
A fringe religion that believes in an unknown entity.
Several mysterious disappearances have occurred here.
Several deaths of extraordinary people.
All the fragmentary information pieced together a rather mysterious and dangerous area in You Huan's mind.
He asked a crucial question: "What is your purpose in searching for this relic?"
Chen Zifan scratched his head and said, "I was also invited by Eve to help her."
Eve was silent for a moment, then uttered one word: "The truth!"
"the truth?"
"Well, a truth related to my family."
"What will I get if I join?"
"The treasures found in the ruins will be divided equally, but if there is anything involving my family, it must all be handed over to me."
"As 'hire money', you can choose one item from the 'Family Secret Hall' in Alston."
Secret Hall...
You Huan once inquired about some information about the Alston family in the supernatural world.
This family selects a "Secret Hall Witch" in every generation to inherit the extraordinary heritage of the Alston family.
The inheritance includes a spatial ability passed down from generation to generation by the Alston family - the Secret Hall.
The specific form of the secret house is not known to outsiders, but it is said that the secret house preserves various treasures, ancient books, and unique items collected by the Alston family from generation to generation.
You can find anything you want in the secret library of Allston!
——At least that's what the outside world says.
Being able to choose an item from the secret library is already a very generous reward in itself.
The distribution of spoils in the ruins is also reasonable.
So You Huan decisively agreed: "Okay, I'll join you."
Of course, the promise cannot be a verbal promise, a contract must be signed.
First, a contract was signed that had legal effect on both Qianxia and the imperial government.
If a dispute arises, you can file a lawsuit with the Supernatural Administration.
Then, waves of black and red witch aura surged out from behind Eve, materializing a "magic contract" in front of You Huan.
Looking at this magic contract that looked like ancient parchment, he looked at it curiously for a few more times and then stretched out his right hand.
A small amount of poisonous mist from the king cobra was released almost undetectably and landed on the contract as a "mark".
You can see that there is a black and red tentacle ball and a red scratch on the contract, which are the marks of Eve and Chen Zifan respectively.
The third mark looks like a black sun, and it is the fourth person who has never appeared.
This is also written in the information just shown.
In addition to Chen Zifan, Eve also found a teammate who is currently abroad and is a transcendent with a good official credibility record.
You Huan doesn't care how many teammates he has.
Then the poisonous fog fell, and the fourth mark gradually appeared on the parchment.
It looks like a snake coiled around a dark surface.
The moment the mark fell, a faint voice appeared in his mind, telling him the rules he needed to follow.
Basically, teammates cannot fight with each other, which is the content that has been revealed on the parchment.
After the last teammate was decided, Eve showed a faint smile on her face and said,
"If you need, I can open the secret hall now and let you take the reward first."
Get paid first and then work, what a conscientious person!
You Huan nodded.
The two sugar gliders, Ir and Xiaofu, stood on Eve's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, pulling the invisible thread.
Eve's soft body was moved, and she once again made the gesture of crossing her hands in front of her chest.
This time it is no longer an illusion.
Amid the sound of low, faint and melodious music, You Huan's vision blurred and he stood in front of two heavy and ancient double doors.
There was darkness behind him, and on the left and right sides he could see the walls of a "secret hall" that was so huge that his entire appearance could not be seen clearly.
The secret room of the Alston family is a strange independent space, between reality and illusion, which preserves a large number of extremely precious secrets and treasures.
A place that countless people dream of.
At this moment, the door of the secret hall slowly opened in front of him.
What comes into view is a red carpet.
Walk on the red carpet and enter the secret hall.
On both sides, the densely packed display cabinets are like independent institutions, constantly appearing, disappearing, and changing positions.
Unable to understand the internal structure of the secret hall.
All around him were rare treasures one after another.
A ball of liquid metal that's like a miniature sun.
A crystal goblet filled with bright red liquid.
A bronze mask that looks ancient and strange.
Ancient scriptures woven with bamboo chips.
A magic book that continuously creates lightning, fire, and water in a transparent display case.
It made You Huan dazzled.
How many treasures has the Alston family accumulated?
However, although he was dazzled by the countless treasures, his emotions did not fluctuate greatly.
Because these things are not what he wants.
Until one moment, a strong attraction came from in front of him.
The red carpet seemed to have come to an end, and a display column rose up.
Through the transparent display case, one can see a curled-up, baby-like, insect-like thing floating in the middle.
The surface is covered with a layer of crystal clear substance, like a "pupa".
The attraction comes from it.
——It's not the attraction to You Huan himself, but a certain intuition as a traveler among the heavens.
[Things from the world corresponding to the existing world clues are detected, and their influence factors can be extracted and condensed into function cards and world clues. ]
He was truly surprised to hear a prompt coming from the panel.
[Extract it. ]
[Extracting...Extracting completed, obtained Function Card·World Clue*1]
World Clues...
The clue to the world he had obtained before came from the world of the cabin in the woods, the passage to another world opened for him by the bugs.
It seems that this strange thing in front of me, which looks like a pupa, also comes from the world where insects belong.
By getting enough clues about a world, he can get the monster card of that world and travel there.
I didn't expect to get a clue to the second world here...
He looked at the insect pupa in front of him. After the world clues were extracted, it seemed that there was no change in it.
The functionality itself should not be damaged.
This means that he has obtained a clue to the world for nothing without anyone knowing?
Thinking of this, he reached out to the insect pupa.
He passed through the wall of the display case like a stream of water.
The pupa was successfully removed.
The moment he took out a secret treasure, his eyes blurred and he immediately retreated from the secret hall.
He was still standing in the same place in the yard, but there was an odd-looking secret treasure in his hand.
There is an extra world clue on the panel.
