No matter how many times I looked at it, the name of the skull never changed.
There were many priceless things on the skeleton. Yang Yu warned Secamens and the others not to try to take the things from the skeleton.
After everyone's storage bags were filled with heavy spoils, Yang Yu and Bai Jin cleared all traces of their presence, then closed the silver door halfway and left the last level of the Goblin Maze.
While climbing upwards, Yang Yu met Kegoro who led them into the Goblin Maze. Kegoro was very happy to see Yang Yu and his friends and came over.
Yang Yu took the opportunity to chat with him for a few words, mentioning that there were sounds of fighting coming from deeper inside the underground maze, and it seemed that there were some very powerful monsters present.
They heard the monster's howl, felt it was very dangerous, and left there in a hurry.
Out of good intentions, Yang Yu advised Kegoro not to go deeper because of curiosity.
The monsters on the last few levels were very powerful, and they only managed to defeat a few of them.
Everything Yang Yu said was true, except that they were all shorthanded, just like some public relations.
For example, Yang Yu felt dangerous, which meant that he felt that if they took the treasure, they would be discovered by others, which would lead to a fight for it from all sides, and the situation would be very dangerous.
To outsiders who were not in the know, it seemed that Yang Yu and his companions had noticed that a thrilling battle was taking place on the tenth floor, so they hurriedly ended their training and left.
In fact, that thrilling battle was fought by Yang Yu and his men. They left in a hurry because they were afraid that others would find out that they had returned with a full load.
Kegoro was also cleverly led by Yang Yu and said that he would linger on the fifth and sixth floors and tell others not to go to deeper levels casually to avoid being involved in danger.
Praising Kegoro for being an excellent guide, Yang Yu left the Goblin Maze contentedly. After discussing with others, he decided to stay in this town for a few days to sort out some things.
Things to do include teaching Secamens and others to become excellent actors, discussing future strategies and confirming their inner thoughts.
However, the first thing to do is to receive the "distinguished guests" who arrived today.
To celebrate, Yang Yu took his team and Sekamens's team to the best restaurant in town, had a meal, and waited for the arrival of the "VIP".
The moonlight was dim, and this town filled with novice adventurers was just beginning to become lively.
Novice adventurers returning from the underground maze will come here to rest and use the night time to exchange experiences with other new adventurers and discuss how to use the experience learned today to make great achievements in the future.
Not only novice adventurers come here, but also some caravans transporting goods.
For businessmen, these new adventurers who are full of expectations for the future are more likely to help others.
Even if there are bandits nearby, they will be quickly cleared out by these new adventurers. There is no safer route than here.
These caravans would also give back some good things to the town, making this remote town gradually prosperous.
When they returned to the hotel, Yang Yu and his friends happened to meet two mysterious men in black robes, who were asking about Yang Yu and his friends in front of the counter.
The innkeeper pointed behind the mysterious man, letting them notice the arrival of Yang Yu and the others, and then continued to busy himself with his own business.
A black-robed man who looked only twelve or thirteen years old approached Yang Yu and asked with a smile:
"I heard that you two led your team to the deeper level of the Goblin Labyrinth. I have something I want to discuss with you in detail. I won't take up too much of your time. If it's too much trouble, I will pay you a satisfactory fee."
The man's face was hidden by the brim of his black robe and could not be seen clearly. The face of the woman following the man was also unclear, but one could see that she was wearing large round glasses.
If Yang Yu met them for the first time, he would definitely mistake them for chuunibyou.
But through the panel, Yang Yu could easily confirm their identities. The people who came were Gordon, the captain of [Red Blood Rose], and Wan Jing Zhihua, who was affectionately called "Sister A Jing" by the team members.
"We did go to the deeper levels of the Goblin Labyrinth today, and what happened there is nothing to brag about. Since you've mentioned this, we will not refuse. Please take a seat."
After inviting the two distinguished guests to sit down, Yang Yu asked the waiter for a pot of tea. Then, just like he did with Kgro, he told them most of the truth.
From an outsider's perspective, what Yang Yu and his friends were experiencing was still from a bystander's perspective.
Gordon tapped his index finger on the table and listened patiently to Yang Yu's words. His expression under the black robe remained unchanged. He asked,
"After you heard that strange noise, didn't you want to go deeper and take a look?"
Yang Yu replied calmly: "Of course we also want to go to the last floor to see what happened, but we know our own strength.
The monsters on the ninth floor are enough to give us a hard time, not to mention the lord-type monsters that may exist on the tenth floor.
With the mentality of picking up a bargain, we could go to the last floor to take a look. However, anyone who can deal with that kind of monster is definitely not a good person. If he mistakenly thinks that we are here to steal the treasure, it will only end up hurting us. So we decided to give up.
People often say that people die for money and birds die for food.
However, I still think that the lives of the players are above all else and they should not be put at excessive risk."
Gordon nodded in agreement and held out his hand to make a two.
"The second question is, before you heard the strange noise, did you see any strange people entering the last floor?"
Yang Yu folded his arms and thought carefully, then answered affirmatively: "The underground maze is complicated. If you turn a corner, it is difficult to detect whether there are people fighting on other routes.
So, unfortunately, I didn’t see anyone else make it to the final level.”
After getting Yang Yu's answer, Gordon looked at Wan Jing Zhihua beside him and said, "Do you have any other questions? If you don't have anything to ask, let's go back."
Wan Jing Zhihua raised her head slightly. The bright lights of the hotel were reflected in the round lenses, making it difficult to see her real face.
Suddenly, a powerful magical power emanated from her body. It was so powerful that no one could lie openly under this aura.
Wan Jing Zhihua spoke in a cold tone, asking Yang Yu a soul-piercing question.
"You lied, didn't you?"
The scene was dead silent, and everyone was waiting for Yang Yu's answer.
Yang Yu just picked up the teapot, made a cup of tea for Wan Jing Zhihua, and pushed it in front of her.
"What aspect are you talking about? How did you know that I was lying?"
