Life Dungeon Game

No one wants wilderness wanderers to leave their original habitats and migrate to the city.

Even if moving to the city would make these homeless people in the wilderness live a better life.

Of course, some wanderers in the wilderness may simply be unwilling to move to the city for various reasons.

The world is often complex.

“It’s alright,” He Ao glanced at the test tube, “I’ll explain it to you in detail after this is all over.”

The test tube in his hand was one of those he had obtained from the shadows; it contained a milky white substance.

A semi-transparent liquid.

He placed the test tube next to the container of the Fountain of Youth, and the color of the liquid in the test tube was extremely similar to that of the Fountain of Youth.

At first glance, it looks like a semi-transparent fountain of youth.

"A diluted solution of the Fountain of Youth?"

The old patriarch also noticed the test tube in He Ao's hand. He was somewhat shocked. "May I take a look?"

"Give."

He handed him the test tube.

"A clever design that results in almost no energy leakage."

The old patriarch held the test tube in his hand for a moment, then looked at He Ao and asked, "May I open it and take a look?"

He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The old clan chief was clearly an expert in this field; the other party's examination was far more accurate than his guesses based on intuition.

After receiving He Ao's affirmative answer, the old patriarch carefully pulled open the latex stopper of the test tube, and a warm sensation instantly wafted out of the test tube.

The old patriarch took a sniff and immediately put the stopper back in.

"It is the Fountain of Youth, no doubt about it. I have been here for over a hundred years and I cannot be mistaken. However, the Fountain of Youth is not the main substance; it is mixed with other things as well. I don't even know exactly what he mixed in, but what he added did neutralize some of the pollution from the Fountain of Youth, although it greatly weakened its medicinal effects."

He looked up at He Ao and reluctantly handed the test tube back. "The person who developed this drug is a genius. Where did you get this?"

"City."

He Ao took the test tube.

"Is this why you absolutely need to learn about the Fountain of Youth?"

The old clan chief pondered for a moment.

He Ao did not answer.

In fact, the old patriarch sharing the information about the Fountain of Youth with him was essentially paying him in advance for his future reward. After all, the information about the Fountain of Youth was the reward He Ao had agreed upon with the old patriarch for destroying the Ghost Mushroom.

"Aren't you afraid I'll break the contract and just run away?"

He Ao glanced at the murals around him and chuckled.

"Although I am old and not very strong," the old patriarch said in a frail but exceptionally confident voice, "I still think I have a good eye for people."

He reached out and handed a folded piece of paper to He Ao.

"This is the secret recipe for 'Talent Sequence 115: Nightcrawler'."

This is trust.

Chapter 448 The Sky Does Not Belong to Humans. (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

[Talent Sequence 115: Nightcrawler]

Main materials: 10 Shadow Silkworms, 1 Night Butterfly

[Auxiliary materials: 10 grams of Nightmare Flower stamens, 500 ml of mountain spring water collected at midnight, one Dawn Flower]

[Preparation method: At midnight, place a live Shadow Silkworm directly into an agate mortar and grind for ten minutes until it is completely ground into powder. Filter out the juice from grinding, put the remaining solid into a steamer with a steamer basket, add a whole dried Night Butterfly, mix and steam for one hour. After that, remove the steamer basket and the solid, pour the previously ground Shadow Silkworm juice into a pot, turn to low heat and simmer for thirty minutes until the remaining solution turns a crystal clear emerald green.]

[Promotion Ceremony: Undetected, deceive at least one C-rank life form and inflict some damage on it.]

The recipe for this secret medicine was written in Denis script. After Heo read the entire recipe, the text on it disappeared naturally, and the whole sheet of paper turned into fine dust.

He Ao watched the scraps of paper slip from his hand, then gently looked up at the old clan chief. "What are these characters?"

"This is a cryptic script called Denis script. We don't know where it originated or how it is written. This formula comes from the original copy of our tribe's secret medicine formula."

The old clan chief said in a hoarse voice.

How does this "disappearing message after being viewed" effect work?

He Ao asked with some curiosity.

Since the original document could be copied, it must not have been a one-time read and then burned item. Therefore, the Andavi family most likely possessed the ability to make this secret medicine formula burn after reading.

However, he didn't expect the old patriarch to necessarily give him an answer. Occult knowledge is valuable, but it's never a loss to ask.

"this···"

The old clan chief pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and opened the drawing application on the tablet.

He first drew a circle, then drew a cross with the dot as the center, running through the entire circle. Next, he connected the top, left, and bottom points of the cross to draw an arc.

"If your entire manuscript is written in Denis script, then you write this symbol at the very beginning of the manuscript, and then write the first word of the manuscript on this symbol."

Then he drew a crescent moon with its concave side facing upwards to the left. He drew a line segment connecting the two tips of the crescent moon, and then drew a line perpendicular to the line segment and running through the entire crescent moon in the center of this line segment. These two lines together form a cross.

"Similarly, if you draw this symbol before writing the last word, and then write the last word on this symbol, then this manuscript will become a self-destructing manuscript after being read. It will self-destruct after the next person reads it."

"After the manuscript is completed, these two symbols will become difficult to recognize, and people will automatically ignore their existence."

"It is important to note that the order of writing symbols and text cannot be reversed. If you write the text first and then write the symbol on top of the text, then the symbol will not have the effect of being destroyed after being read."

In this case, it's not possible to add two symbols later to complete the process.

The manuscript written in Denis's handwriting was destroyed.

It's a pretty interesting design.

He Ao noted down the two symbols. "Do these symbols have some kind of professional name?"

"In the legends of our ancestors, these two symbols were called the Linde symbols, and we do not know the origin of their names."

The old patriarch put away the tablet computer and said slowly.

He maneuvered his wheelchair back to the door, pressed a button, and concealed all the murals once again.

He gazed at the murals that had been covered up again.

Although these murals are very simple, they involve some real historical events and possibly at least one angel.

In a sense, these murals themselves represent a higher level of knowledge.

The more advanced knowledge one acquires, the deeper the connection one makes with those advanced entities.

However, He Ao was not afraid of these things; he was happy to make new friends.

While the old patriarch was covering up the murals, he went directly to the doorway.

"Don't you need to rest for a while?"

The old patriarch looked at him with suspicion, "These life forces should be very effective in helping you recover from your injuries."

"The effect is not strong now."

He Ao shook his head.

He glanced back at the Fountain of Youth in the center of the room.

This fountain of youth was brought back from the original site by the Andavi family after the quarrymen died. In other words, the life force it emits here has been emanating for 900 years, and even so, it does not seem to be drying up at all.

Of course, its ability to be preserved for so long may also be related to the storage device cast by the Andavi family.

Be careful when you go out.

The old patriarch opened the door and maneuvered his wheelchair into the passageway ahead.

He Ao composed himself and took a step forward.

In that instant, he felt his heart suddenly contract and his whole body stiffen briefly.

After crossing the door, the life force becomes extremely thin, or rather, almost non-existent.

The warm feeling that had been 'soaking' his body vanished in an instant.

This is equivalent to him being in the North or South Poles, suddenly opening the door of a warm house and stepping into the icy wilderness outside.

His body experienced a strong withdrawal reaction, and his brain frantically urged him to go back and enjoy that warm life force again.

However, Heo remained unmoved and continued forward, completely crossing the doorway and entering the passage.

The old patriarch glanced at He Ao with slight surprise, then sighed softly and pressed the button to close the metal door.

"what happened?"

He looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“You are the most suitable person I have ever met to be the clan leader,” the old clan leader chuckled. “If it were fifty years ago, I would have definitely tried every means to recruit you into the clan.”

"You can still appoint an outsider as your clan leader?"

He Ao chuckled to himself.

"The reason why the Andavi family has been able to continue for so many years is because we are willing to attract and invest in outstanding talents."

The old patriarch chuckled softly. By now, they had already stepped out of the passage. The old patriarch reached out and pushed open the stone door at the end of the passage.

As the stone gate opened, a familiar scene appeared in He Ao's view; this was the old clan chief's wooden house that He Ao had visited before.

The old patriarch continued forward, pushing aside...

After passing through the old door of the cabin, an endless expanse of azure sky appeared before the two.

"It's a pity that this family is too small now, and it can't keep an eagle like you."

He knew that the Andavi family must have had more than one glorious period. They had been around for nine centuries, possessed the Fountain of Youth to prolong their lives, and had mastered countless secret knowledge. It was not impossible that the family had not produced B-level heroes.
