Chapter 430: Chapter 298: Tun Tun Gu and Outdoor Buildings (5K)_3

Soon, the hero Rakshasa took to the stage, carrying several Concealing Potions, two Spatial Shift Scrolls, and some props for locating, scouting, recording, or communicating, heading straight south.

Next, they just had to wait for news from Rakshasa.

Duo Lai, who couldn’t stay idle yet was unable to shoulder a significant responsibility, also took on a task—he couldn’t be honing his body 24 hours a day, after all, there was a limit to how much potential he could unearth in a day.

So, Duo Lai took the Guide Compass and began his favorite part—the treasure hunt.

Miracle Buildings couldn’t be eaten, but they were treasures nonetheless. Rounding up or down, Mu Yuan thought that letting Duo Lai go treasure hunting might have some surprising effect, so he let it go.

Most of the time, General Duo Lai was reliable.

“I bought two Guide Compasses from the Mysterious Merchant, which is a total of six uses. I hope to find some high-value Miracle Buildings.”

“But we shouldn’t have too high expectations, the price of this thing is only slightly higher than rare treasures. Keep a normal mindset, it’s not a loss if we find nothing, and it’s all profit if we do.”

He thought.

Duo Lai always had full motivation for things that interested it. It activated the Guide Compass, following the needle all the way, and soon found the first destination.

The target was quite obvious.

On the rugged mountain stood a magnificent ancient arena. It covered a large area and exuded a simple yet profound charm, as if it had weathered thousands of years.

Despite this, the whole arena was still shrouded in a faint radiance, mysterious and extraordinary.

Duo Lai had seen such venues before.

“It’s the Hero Duel Arena coo~”

“It’s probably useful, right?”

Seeing the Hero Duel Arena, Duo Lai remembered the past when it hung up guardians one by one for a beating.

It was time for revenge against the guardians.

Err… revenge could wait for later. Finding the building was the priority.

Duo Lai marked this location and activated the Guide Compass once again.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~!

The needle began to spin rapidly, and after a few seconds, it slowly halted, firmly pointing in a certain direction. The needle was covered in a faint golden light, indicating the rough distance between the holder and the guided target.

General Duo Lai, moving out again~

It crossed mountains, forded rivers. It transformed into an inconspicuous bird, drank down the Concealing Potion, and cooed its way through the treetops.

“Hmm, there’s a Rocky Giant here, make a note.”

“Spotted a Dark Knight, eh? This guy seems like the local tyrant of this area. Yeah, mark this one too.”

“Eh, there’s an Evil Eye Wyrm here? Duo Lai really wants to make a move. Hunting this wyrm would surely please Lord and Xi Liu.”

But, it was tasked with finding buildings and couldn’t waste a moment of the Concealing Potion’s time.

Duo Lai simply cast a longing gaze toward the Evil Eye Wyrm and left without looking back.

…

Duo Lai, taking the form of a white pigeon on the attack, occasionally glanced at the compass hanging around its neck.

On it, the pointer’s golden glow grew brighter and began to flicker slightly, signaling that it was getting closer to the target.

“About six or seven kilometers left.”

Duo Lai thought, as it was quite experienced in this respect.

But it suddenly screeched to a halt, the white pigeon clinging onto the tree trunk with its wings, its eyes gazing into the distance.

“There are monsters! Wisdom Monsters!”

Through the tree canopy, it could vaguely see a strange, ashy, and eerie shrine, hidden in the distant forest.

This shrine, if not unexpected, was the target the needle pointed to.

However, a camp had been built around the shrine, with shadows of Jackal Men patrolling behind wooden fences. Some of the Jackal Men had particularly strong physiques and wore ornate Treasure Armor, apparently discussing something. They must have been the Wise Wolfmen.

“What to do, coo?”

Although Duo Lai was confident that a Super-large Fireball could kill 99% of the Jackal Men inside, it also understood that it couldn’t act recklessly.

The time wasn’t right yet; it could only note this grudge for now.

What grudge? The grudge of stealing treasures.

By occupying this shrine, wasn’t it just like before when the Snake man tribe used up a great deal of energy from the Blessing Temple they occupied? The Snake men depleted their temple’s energy, which was a great enmity. The Jackal Men were no different.

After receiving Duo Lai’s message, Mu Yuan contemplated.

He took out a map, guessed Duo Lai’s current approximate location, and circled it on the map.

“Judging from its location, this small camp is likely a sub-force of the number one Jackal Man tribe. The camp is small, but the power it contains is not weak. The camp’s location is also quite hidden; it was not discovered during previous explorations and was only found with the guidance of the Compass after it had been heavily disguised by the Jackal Men.”

Duo Lai made a covert mark in the nearby area, then quietly left, embarking on the third journey to find the Miracle Buildings.

The result…

Was disappointing.

The pointer directed Duo Lai to the third location, which was within the territory of the number two Jackal Man tribe, and this time Duo Lai did not even get to see what the Miracle Building looked like.

“I’ll remember this grudge doubly.”

The fourth location was also within a Monster Tribe, wherein the power that occupied the field building was the Snake man tribe located to the south of Tianyuan.

Duo Lai again failed to catch sight of the building.

“I’ll remember this grudge with a super-multiplier.”

The Great Lord also marked each location on the map one by one.

“Indeed, the more intelligent the monsters, the more they understand and use these field buildings. Or perhaps, a group of monster entities has occupied the field building, using this unique advantage to grow rapidly?”

No matter how you describe it, Wisdom Monsters will seek out and possess Miracle Buildings, but they cannot fundamentally occupy ones in the wild, so these buildings are still ‘ownerless’ and can be directed by the needle.

And the Hero Duel Arena, which Wisdom Monsters can’t use at all, they did not care to occupy.

Meanwhile.

Seeing the golden pointer on the compass begin to flicker, Duo Lai became tense, looking around eagerly in search.
