Yang Genshuo said with a smile.
Yang Qiangjin translated every word from the ancestor.
"I know itâs the rules... But why must this story have such a rule? Although itâs not easy to enter here, itâs not entirely impossible either. Seeing this scene... what are they trying to tell us?"
Seeing Number 9 looking confused, Yang Qiangjin said directly:
"Since we already know the real government officials are here, and theyâve been eaten up like this... letâs just set a fire, burn them and the rats to death in one go, solve the problem at once, and then go down and kill those mice disguised as officials, wouldnât that work?"
Yang Qiangjin felt confident in burning this bunch of things.
The scene here was already making her physically uncomfortable.
"Not yet... I feel like we are still missing some information to get to the truth... Tell the ancestor, if other groups have different information, please be sure to let me know."
"Alright... where do you want to go now?"
Number 9âs gaze turned toward the tunnel the few mice had just darted into...
...
"The real officials are in the room at the back... Interesting, in that case, the ones assigning us tasks are actually mice disguised as officials, so even if we donât complete their tasks, it shouldnât trigger a death scene."
Number 6 was currently outside the inn seeking, their strategy was to unearth more information and find other resources that could be utilized.
"Hehe~ this story is really insidious. In the first level, if we donât comply with the demands of the Hungry Officials to take tasks, we are scared and run everywhere, triggering a chase... Here we are obedient, only to fall into the miceâs trap. If we foolishly went to cook, rest, and serve the mice until they are full, they would eat us up at night..."
"Luckily Number 9 took this risky step..."
Number 6 highly appreciated Number 9âs strategy, though if given another chance, he wouldnât choose such dangerous action.
First, their team didnât have top experts like Yang Qiangjin, who had mastered certain space techniques.
Second... thatâs it.
If he had experts for protection, heâd go wherever he wanted too!
"However... weâre not completely without gains. At least here, we found some real food."
He held a bag of vegetables in his hand. Around this inn, unbelievably, there were some vegetables that looked edible.
Yang Genshuo glanced and confirmed they were indeed edible.
"Just some vegetable leaves... seems your hardships are far from over."
"No problem, eat some vegetable leaves, drink some water, and letâs first get through tonight..."
Number 6 and his team remained cautious and werenât planning to deal with the mouse servants for now.
Other Puzzle Solvers and members of the Yang Family gradually received the information Number 9 had riskily gathered, each choosing different strategies in response.
Currently, there was only one person not informed... Yang Zhushuang.
Thinking about helping such a small character pass through, Yang Genshuo felt nauseous.
Yang Zhushuang usually oppressed commoners and took lives at will. He had been seen tailing Yang Zhu and plotting malicious acts... If the Legendary Land hadnât been activated, he might have truly harmed Yang Zhu.
Yang Genshuo was decent enough not to seek trouble from him, yet he had to help him pass?
Yang Zhushuang had already arrived at the inn, having a superior advantage with 2 Puzzle Solvers and 4 highly skilled Sky Dragon Army members assigned to him, plus his 3 henchmen. It was a setup where he was the supreme figure.
These two Puzzle Solvers cooperated with each other, allowing the group to settle peacefully in the inn.
They were currently considering how to cook.
"I saw something hanging on top of that grain warehouse, could it be some kind of grain bags?"
Yang Zhushuang spoke up, while the two Puzzle Solvers hadnât noticed, the three henchmen were absolutely convinced.
"I think I saw it too..."
"There is something!"
"If Brother Shuang says thereâs something, there definitely is!"
The two Puzzle Solvers had a brief discussion.
"Since this Legendary Land is called âWhite Grain Warehouse,â and this is the first grain warehouse we encountered, there might be things waiting for us to discover... I think we should explore further."
Among the Sky Dragon Army accompanying them, there was a Nirvana Realm squad leader named Yu Tie.
He said, "Itâs pitch black inside, canât see a thing... but perhaps you sensed something, I can climb up and take a look."
"No need, let my Demon Slave go... he is a Golden Core Stage Night Demon."
This sideâs Puzzle Solvers wanted to explore the dark and peculiar grain warehouse mainly because they had this helper.
With two Puzzle Solvers and two slaves, their margin for error was much higher than other teams.
They could also attempt risky but potentially rewarding actions.
After much thought, Yang Genshuo decided that even if not for Yang Zhushuang, for the other 9 people, he should share the information with Yang Zhushuang, couldnât let the Sky Dragon Army and Puzzle Solvers die...
But at this moment, their actions also caught Yang Genshuoâs attention.
"Right... whatâs inside that innâs grain warehouse? Total darkness, I canât see clearly at all... Everyone else also fears the unknown, no one is planning to delve into the warehouse yet, maybe we can try to break through from here."
Just as Number 9 said, they needed more information.
Whoosh~
The Golden Core Stage Night Demon flew straight into the warehouse, ascending directly upward, using their raceâs unique vision and perception to explore the tall and spacious interior.
Midway through the ascent, the Night Demonâs eyes flashed a light as he stopped.
He saw on the wall... dense and dark red lights.
Squeak squeak squeak~~~
The sound of numerous rodents gnashing their teeth arose, and black light flashed on the Night Demonâs wings, a sharp dark element magic spell shot directly at the wall.
Bang!
A swarm of rats scattered quickly, burrowing into the holes within the warehouse walls.
In the spot where they had gathered, something emanating a faint red glow... fell down.
Splat~
It was a red elixir.
Down below, Yang Zhushuang, quick of eye and hand, snatched it immediately.
"Hey~ I knew thereâd be treasure!"
Then, he quickly placed the elixir into his storage ring, afraid others would snatch it, leaving the two Puzzle Solvers quite speechless.
As that might be the necessary item for this story.
After scouting above, the Night Demon discovered many holes in the warehouse stones, with numerous rats hiding inside.
Since he was a puppet, fear was not a concern. He directly reached into the rat holes.
He crushed a dozen rats, and even dug out a pile of scattered grains from the holes.
These two Puzzle Solvers watched as the Night Demon slowly descended from the air, holding fifteen rat corpses and several bags of rice...
"Looks like... we have food?"
Because of Yang Zhushuangâs suggestion, this team unexpectedly gained food, and moreover... obtained the first treasure since the Yang Family entered.
Yang Genshuo saw it very clearly.
It was a pretty decent Heaven and Earth Treasure.
And just like that, it effortlessly fell into Yang Zhushuangâs hands.
