Chapter 463: Chapter 321: Cold Valley and Warm Grass Fruit_2

Originally, people would carve the names of the first conquerors of the dungeon on a stone monument, but as Sain grew larger, each area’s final boss was defeated by different people. It became impossible to determine who could truly be considered the first conqueror, and this ceremonial act eventually fizzled out.

But now, a stone monument has appeared in Sain Dungeon, actively documenting the names of those who defeated the bosses for the first time!

Leon’s sense of joy peaked at this moment. Feeling the admiration and gaze of those around him, he stood straighter than ever before.

From now on, everyone who enters the dungeon will see such a monument, and they will see my name!

Is this what it feels like to be immortalized in history?

Hahaha!

Leon felt that even if he acted a bit exaggerated at this moment, it was excusable, but suddenly he thought of Fingerley.

Oops, the awkwardness is about to come.

He glanced around but didn’t see Fingerley’s figure. Maybe the other had already gone in? That would mean he definitely saw the monument.

At this juncture, even Leon felt embarrassed for him, and in the future, he would be too embarrassed to meet Fingerley again; the other probably wouldn’t want to see him either.

Ah, life is just full of awkward moments.

Out of respect, the adventurers first let Leon and his team into the dungeon, and this feeling of preferential treatment...

"Boss, if you were a canine beastman, your tail would have wagged off by now," Maru played the role of the joker.

"Uh-huh~"

"Ew, I’m begging you, don’t use that tone, it’s so gross!"

Drew and Tal exchanged a glance and smiled, shrugging their shoulders.

The Yilushier of Cold Valley belongs to the Eagle Capital Dungeon, so theoretically, the number of challengers should be higher than in the areas of Sain Dungeon, but only those who enter through the Royal City teleportation gate.

If one wants to reverse the advantage in numbers to explore other areas of Sain Dungeon, then one must also face the problem of increased difficulty. Gong Qiying hasn’t placed too many other restrictions.

Leon and the others didn’t dawdle at all; they directly went to the Fire Transmission Ceremony and then teleported from the turkey farm to the bonfire outside after defeating Overlord Vonier.

The scenery of Yilushier appeared before their eyes once again. This time, it was no longer an unattainable mirage; they had truly earned the right to enter!

Turning back to look at the boss battle room of Overlord Vonier, it was blocked by a layer of fog gate. Going in would mean re-challenging the Overlord.

"Let’s eat first."

Leon fished out red roasted fruit from his backpack and handed it out. After eating, bodies that were previously shivering from the cold calmed down.

[Warm Grass Fruit]

[Eating raw warm grass fruit feels fiery, but when cooked, it warms you up and can resist severe cold]

This ingredient comes from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Leon simply prepared the warm grass fruit as skewers, which, once eaten, temporarily resisted Yilushier’s cold.

This method was devised by common adventurers, targeting Yilushier’s severe cold. People had been searching for a solution for future exploration.

There are currently two most versatile methods. One is the warm grass fruit from the gourmet area, and the other is a hot drink sold by the blacksmith Elu cat from the forest area; both can warm the body and resist the severe cold.

The forest area blacksmith Elu cat started selling sundries half a month ago, such as Ghost Man Medicine and paralysis traps. The hot drink is considered the most valuable discovery by people at present.

Currently, warm grass fruit and hot drinks are relatively scarce in the market, so Leon couldn’t fully prepare, prompting him to also bring torches and the like.

"Get ready to run!"

As soon as they set foot on the bridge to Yilushier, everyone sprinted without looking back. If they glanced back, who knows whether it would be a crocodile or a dog monster appearing.

They couldn’t be bothered with that creature and decided to rush right in with one swift move!

When just a few steps away from Yilushier, a rejective protective shield appeared, and Leon raised the little puppet toward it!

Strange sound effects rang out, and their vision blurred; when it cleared, they found themselves already in Yilushier.

The Alligator Ember King roared wildly on the bridge, eyeing them maliciously, but it couldn’t cross the protective shield, only capable of impotent rage.

"Blah-blah!" Maru made faces at it, truly arrogant.

Leon gazed at Yilushier, a city truly unfolding before his eyes, feeling a bit emotional at the moment.

This was truly a city, majestic and grand, filled with both historical and lively vibes, standing here as if one could imagine how its residents lived back in the day.

Where they were seemed like a small plaza, and just from standing here, he saw two roads leading in opposite directions.

The left was an ascending staircase, while the right extended into the gaps between the buildings, destination unknown.

As for exploration goals, he had set them before coming in—of course, the grand cathedral at the heart of Yilushier.

With extensive Sain Dungeon exploration experience, that cathedral appeared dignified; if it didn’t house a boss, it surely contained elites.

"Take the left path, go all the way up to find the cathedral."

In Cold Valley, snow drifted about, the landscape painted a cold tone, naturally carrying a mournful atmosphere, with low-pitched music seemingly echoing in the air.

This heavy snow affected visibility, so Leon donned goggles, finally allowing him to open his eyes properly.

"Not good!"

On seeing clearly, Leon suddenly shouted, leaping back and drawing his weapon.

"Ambush attack!"

From the high steps, a "crowd" of figures turned into ephemeral pale blue shadows slowly approached them.

Their limb proportions completely differed from humans, perhaps even could be called deformed, but fully armed, no one dared to underestimate them.

What made Leon most nervous was the sheer number of these phantoms; there were dozens of them!

To be welcomed so fervently right off the bat!? My heart can’t take it!

The Alligator Ember King on the bridge chirped joyfully, seemingly calling for them to run towards it, its calls tinged with sarcasm.

The little road on the right was silent, but the air seemed to flutter with faint black mist, pairs upon pairs of eyes floated in mid-air, watching, just waiting for them to run that way.

Unless they fled in the opposite direction, they had to battle the phantoms.

But Leon only had a moment’s thought; in the end, he decided to attack the phantoms with his companions!

A real man won’t run!

Pushing to the utmost, using all his strength in one strike, Swift Slash!

He charged fiercely, and then—

"Thud!"

Crashed hard onto the stairs, a crisp crack rang out in his neck.

"Huh?" Everyone else’s actions halted; what did they just see? Did Leon pass right through these monsters?

The monsters paid no mind to the people, walking forward on their own, as if parading.

Maru hesitantly poked at the phantoms, only to pass through herself, confirming it.

These monsters were fake!

They weren’t appearing like phantoms; they truly were phantoms, crafted to frighten adventurers!

"Um, I think I can be saved..."

Leon, neck broken, lay on the ground in a bizarre stance, uttering a weary plea for help.
