Chapter 364: Chapter 268 The Jar and the Casas Warrior

Staring at the dense array of jars in front of him, Tami fell into deep thought.

"Just a slight touch shouldn’t..."

He merely poked the jar in front of him, and at the sound of a bang, the jar shattered into pieces on the ground, scaring him into a jump backward.

It’s that fragile!

Is it due to the ravages of time or the poor craftsmanship of the Casas?

Usually, such a war-mongering nation would neglect the production of daily items like jars and such.

"What am I even thinking about!" Tami held his head. Luckily the jar he shattered was empty, but would he be so fortunate next time?

"Isn’t there another way to go?"

He wandered around, only to find there really was no other way forward, they had to pass through the cluster of jars to keep moving.

"Why place these things in a tomb, did the ancients hope they’d still play games after death?"

Sweat dripped from Tami’s forehead as he forced himself to make a joke, attempting to relieve his stress.

This was the method Luluwo taught them, if faced with danger and difficulty, just joke about it, venting would relieve pressure.

"So there are Casas Warriors, attack magic, treasures, and empties in the jars... What kind of national pastime would seal warriors into jars?"

"Around the Casas Warrior jars, there are no warriors within two circles; within two circles of attack magic, there must be treasures; near treasures, there’s a surprise. I’m really worried this surprise might turn into a shock."

Gazing at the cluster of jars, Tami finally took a cautious step towards the gaps between the jars, hoping to pass without breaking any.

Unfortunately, this would only cause the Sain Dungeon to react to his actions, making the jars even more fragile.

"Bang! Bang!" Two more jars shattered when they brushed against the corner of his clothes. The explosive sound jarred his heart, nearly causing a heart attack.

"Damn it all!"

Tami cautiously retreated, realizing that trying to find a shortcut wouldn’t work; he had to play by the rules.

Damn it, I left the village to become an adventurer because I was too bad at school, so why am I even facing puzzles in a dungeon?!

He dawdled in front of the jars for a long while before making a decision, carefully choosing a favorable jar and shattering it with a punch!

It was empty!

"Phew, thank goodness."

He exhaled in relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Before his courage waned, he quickly cracked open a few more jars, all empty.

As his courage grew, he broke another, uncovering a treasure this time—a long, black, edible-looking item.

"Chocolate?"

Leaving aside why chocolate could count as treasure and could it really be edible after who knows how long in a dungeon, or whether the ancients knew about chocolate...

Tami’s desire to joke was reaching its limit.

He ultimately didn’t dare to eat the chocolate, stashing it in his pocket instead. However, after such an encounter, his fear of the place diminished significantly, casually smashing one jar after another without a glance.

"It’s probably just empties again. Casas warriors and attack magic are just there to scare people..."

An enormous blackened face suddenly appeared in front of him, stopping his words in their tracks.

Floating before him was something very abstract, resembling a stick-figure ’person’. It had no limbs and drifted like a soul. The round face had two open eyes.

Doesn’t this thing look alarmingly similar to the Humanity from Endless Reincarnation?

(Looks about the same, so just bear with it ~)

Before Tami could take a close look, one of the Humanities charged into him, making him spit out blood immediately.

Magic damage! These things are attack magic!

Tami hurriedly fled, with several more Humanities chasing relentlessly.

"Ah... watch out for the other jars!"

Too late, in his panicked turn, he had already shattered another cluster of jars, releasing a cloud of cursed mist!

What’s this now!

In an instant, Tami activated a Combat Skill named [Acceleration], leaping away from the mist but still catching some of it, making his body extraordinarily heavy. A stumble later and he fell, breaking more jars.

In his terror-filled eyes, more Humanities exploded out. In this urgent situation, even with some jars bursting with treasure, he had no time to care, only to flee for his life.

Only when he ran back to the starting point did the relentless Humanities finally disappear.

But Tami had no time to catch his breath before another shocking event left him stunned.

The jars he had smashed earlier... were reassembling!

In the blink of an eye, the jar cluster was restored to perfection, without a single break, and they exchanged positions at a visually undetectable speed!

This meant all his previous exploration was for naught, and it was unclear whether the treasures and magic within the jars had refreshed.

This, this...

Tami wanted to say: What kind of madness is this?

In the time that followed, he tried to proceed cautiously, using all his mental energy to explore the jar cluster, remembering the contents of the stone tablet.

But misfortune came one after another, curses with various negative effects, the relentless chasing of Humanities, and the Skeleton Warriors bursting from jars.
