A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"If we don't complete this task, then we've failed."

"What's the panic? I have my own way." Zhou An glanced around and spotted a Mingyu Coffee Shop across the street.

“You go to the coffee shop and I’ll sneak in to complete the mission,” Zhou An said, pointing to the coffee shop across the street.

"Huh? I'm going to a coffee shop? Well... okay." Song Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She's just a burden now.

If it weren't for the previous deal, Zhou An probably wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

Song Yu had only taken a few steps when he turned back to take another look at Zhou An.

But after glancing around, he couldn't see Zhou An anywhere, which surprised him.

After thinking for a moment, she quickened her pace and went to the opposite side of the street.

Zhou An was actually standing in the same spot, but unlike before, he was now wearing a stone hat.

Before entering the instance, Zhou An knew that it was quite dangerous.

Just in case, Zhou An took the stone hat back from Li Shengsheng.

Now, this comes in handy.

Zhou An immediately turned around and swaggered into the Misty Building.

The two security guards standing at the door didn't even glance at Zhou An the entire time.

Zhou An arrived at the elevator, pressed the button, and set his destination as the 27th floor.

Zhou An arrived at the 27th floor, and upon stepping outside, he saw a multitude of strange and bustling figures.

In fact, it wasn't just this floor; employees on all floors started getting busy.

Their sole objective was to locate the source of the pollution.

The Yin-Yang Agency is so powerful because of its special rules and tools, which allow evil spirits to be contained within its containers.

It can accurately locate the source of pollution.

The Misty Group's methods for dealing with pollution sources are probably not much different from those of the Yin-Yang Bureau.

However, when it comes to positioning, the Mist Group, which has been exploring the wilderness for many years, is far inferior.

However, they were all experienced and quickly located the 27th floor.

"There's a response! There's a response! The instrument is responding on the 27th floor!" a strange voice shouted into the phone.

"Retreat, retreat! Everyone on the 27th floor, evacuate immediately and proceed to the disinfection room. Cleanup personnel, proceed to the 27th floor immediately to conduct the final inspection and cleanup."

A high-level executive's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Everyone, evacuate immediately, take the stairs, and head to the disinfection room on the 30th floor!" Weird shouted at the top of his lungs.

In just a few minutes, dozens of strange figures disappeared from this floor.

Zhou An calmly took out the evil spirit container and directly located the source of pollution.

Zhou An stood in front of the large metal door and looked up at the special metal that shimmered with a reddish light.

Location data indicates that the source of the pollution is inside this vault.

With Zhou An's current abilities, he probably won't be able to get in.

But it's not a big problem; look, we've already heard some noise from behind.

Ten eerie figures dressed in white protective suits rushed from the elevator entrance straight to the vault door.

Zhou An took a few steps to the left, making way for them.

"Quickly, quickly, the instrument shows the source of the pollution is inside. Everyone spray the pesticide immediately."

"Once the vault door is open, we need to finish this quickly. Everyone, don't hesitate to use any of your items. Do you understand?" the captain shouted immediately.

"Yes, Captain," the group of strange creatures replied in unison.

Then they took out a black spray bottle and sprayed themselves directly.

The black liquid spilled out, and before it could even touch them, it vaporized, turning into a black mist that enveloped their protective suits.

After a series of actions by them, the doors of these vaults slowly opened.

Once opened, one immediately sees mountains of ore piled up inside.

The ore shimmered with a green glow and carried an extremely strong life force.

What's even more peculiar is that these ores look almost the same size.

Zhou An looked at the green minerals inside with some surprise.

“Such a rich life force, what kind of ore is this?” Zhou An immediately followed the strange creature inside.

The ten strange creatures entered and took out that special instrument again, beginning to scan continuously in an attempt to pinpoint their exact location.

Other strange figures were holding special props and looking extremely wary.

Zhou An walked to the green ore on the left, reached out and touched it, and immediately the ore's properties were revealed to him.

【Life Ore】: Ore buried deep underground, containing life force.

Effect: Ore of Life is a special ore that automatically fuses after being mined, with a maximum yield of no more than one thousand kilograms. It is used to craft special items.

The material, this ore, is a material used to craft special items.

Moreover, the reason why they all look the same size is due to this special effect of automatic merging.

With a thought, Zhou An added a piece of ore weighing one thousand kilograms to his inventory.

Then came the second piece, the third piece...

Zhou An discovered that the ore could be stacked and placed in one inventory slot.

As expected, the inventory is powerful.

The strange creatures searched for the source of the pollution with wary expressions, while Zhou An was busy collecting these life-giving ores.

Although we don't know its exact function yet, this thing is definitely a good thing.

We can hand it over to the government and let them study it; it might prove very useful.

When the amount of ore in your inventory reaches 10000, the ore will appear in the next inventory slot.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An raised an eyebrow.

Zhou An immediately understood.

There is no limit to the number of the same item that can be placed in the inventory, but there is a weight limit.

Ten thousand pieces of ore would weigh approximately ten million kilograms, which is equivalent to ten thousand tons.

However, it wasn't a big problem. Zhou An still had four empty slots in his inventory, so he filled them all up.

A total of 50,000 tons.

About half of the ore in the entire vault is gone.

These changes were naturally known to those strange beings long ago.

But they only thought that the source of pollution was devouring the mine of life.

At the same time, they became even more anxious to find the source of the pollution.

Just as Zhou An was about to throw away some junk items and clean out his inventory to continue collecting ore.

From the innermost, lowest level, a sudden and extremely strong fluctuation erupted.

"Found it, it's at the very back!" the captain shouted eerily.

"Captain, there are too many ores. Even if we find them, we won't be able to get through," one of the strange creatures said anxiously.

The captain didn't say anything, but contacted his superiors directly.

"General Manager, we found it, but it's buried at the bottom by the life ore, and we have no way to remove it."

The general manager's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You have to go, no matter what. Life ore may not be extremely valuable, but it's still worth a lot of money."

"We've already lost a third of the ore. Are you planning to wait until all the ore is consumed by the pollution source before you take action?"

"Yes... General Manager." The team leader's face immediately turned bitter.

But without saying anything more, he hung up the phone and immediately took the lead, jumping onto the top of the ore.

"Charge in there, dig until you find the source of the pollution!" the captain shouted.

The strange team members shouted and charged in.

A loud "BOOM!"

But then the ore inside suddenly erupted with a powerful aura.

This is the filthy breath of life.

The ten strange creatures were sent flying backwards by the force of the aura.

A large amount of life-giving ore was also washed away.

"Ah~~!"

The life ore slammed directly onto these monsters, instantly engulfing them all.

Although he wasn't dead yet, he was completely immobilized by the life ore.

In the next instant, all the life minerals were contaminated by this aura.

The once vibrant green ore turned a deathly gray.

Zhou An was heartbroken when he saw this.

These are all valuable items, and now they've all been contaminated.

Although Zhou An could use the horse talisman to restore it, he could only restore it by touching each one individually, which would take forever.

Zhou An, still clinging to a sliver of hope, went to check the properties of the deathly gray ore.
