Chapter 18
[Special Encounter] Function
Regardless, if the enemy does not show up, it will be hard for us to deal with them. We will continue with our original plan and remain alert against the enemy’s potential sneak attack.
After we get the treasure indicated by the special key, I don’t believe that they won’t show themselves.
Or maybe… that place is very dangerous… but I still have my system’s [Special Encounter] function. As long as there is a treasure there, be it any treasure, I will be able to decipher it completely. I will also be able to perceive any related threats or danger.
Rubbing his temples lightly, Gurney moved along with the group as he calmed down and regained some sense of assurance.
…
Two hours later.
The group had gotten through a thorn forest that was hard to move in.
In the midst of the lofty mountains, a majestic, vast, unending canyon appeared before everyone’s eyes. There was a canyon passageway that was either narrow and rugged, or flat and uneven, or treacherous and unpaved, or winding and secluded.
In any case, there was a dense fog that would remain thick all year round.
In addition, there was often a strange and grotesque cry in the depths of the canyon that resounded throughout, and anyone inside could hear it. This was the origin of the name “Howling Canyon”.
Avery who was at the back of the group walked to the front now.
Waving his hand, he took out an exquisite black thorn box. Next, he took out the long ancient copper key that was blood-red in color.
After checking for a while, Avery looked towards one direction and said carefully in a soft voice, “This way. Follow me.”
They all moved rapidly, with Gurney being positioned at the end of the group.
At the same time, Gurney also opened his Passive Farming System secretly.
When Gurney expanded the page for [Special Encounter].
As expected.
The originally empty [Special Encounter] page had a lot of words and pictures now.
[Special Encounter]: Noble Inheritance of the Blood Magic Grandmaster
Special Encounter Content 1: Alchemy Storage Room
Special Encounter Content 2: Blood Magic Totem
Special Encounter Content 3: Destiny Gold Coin
There were a total of three special encounter contents, including the detailed information that could be read if he expanded the respective titles below the “Noble Inheritance of the Blood Magic Grandmaster”.
“As expected…” Gurney squinted slightly as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. “This is a genuine place filled with special encounters and treasures!”
Special encounter!
Regardless of whether it was a traditional cultivation world, a magic fantasy world, a
Xuanhuan
martial universe, or the current steampunk world that Gurney was in — be it a talentless cripple or a super genius of the century — in order to make it big in life and surpass all others, special encounters were no doubt necessary.
If one lacked special encounters, they would not even be qualified to talk to the main character.
As for the [Special Encounter] function of Gurney’s Passive Farming System, it was able to display the entire content of any special encounters that were within a certain range of Gurney.
Even though the range was not big, this special encounter function was still quite terrifying.
Blood Magic Grandmaster? Having the title of grandmaster means he is a powerful existence of at least at tier seven or higher.
The system calls it the “Noble Inheritance of the Blood Magic Grandmaster”. This means that the Blood Magic Grandmaster died in this place, and his works were left here deep within the special encounter area.
Gurney’s gaze quickly swept through the three special encounter contents.
Alchemy Room, Blood Magic Totem, and Destiny Gold Coin? Which one is the noble inheritance of the Blood Magic Grandmaster? Since it is termed as noble, then this treasure must be quite extraordinary.
Gurney did not continue guessing; he directly clicked the “detailed information” tab below the three special encounter contents.
A moment later, Gurney gained a good grasp of this exploration’s overall benefits, the ways to gain said benefits, the places to avoid, as well as the information of that Blood Magic Grandmaster’s inheritance.
This [Special Encounter] function was simply the compass that would lead him to treasures.
As for these so-called treasures, small ones could bring some wealth or rise in talent.
Big ones could allow him to prosper; he would be able to defy fate and change his life.
“Huff…” after browsing through, Gurney let out a light breath.
My Transcendent road finally has some direction now.
Rubbing his fingers together, Gurney quickly collected his thoughts after pondering through this situation.
Even though he knew the information of the special encounter in the “Blood Magic Cave”, this place where the Blood Magic Grandmaster died in was filled with all sorts of danger, traps, and even fatal grounds that would cause death to anyone who entered.
Even though he knew the method to obtain that treasure he wanted, Gurney still needed to be very vigilant and careful in his methods.
If one really thought that the system was omnipotent and foolproof, then disaster would soon follow. He would not even know why he died in the end.
With the key’s guidance, together with this being the periphery of Howling Canyon, the road that they walked on was quite safe.
More than ten minutes later, at the end of a narrow and twisted tunnel within Howling Canyon, the six of them stopped in their tracks.
“It’s here,” Avery said in an exceptionally low voice.
Howling Canyon was a supernatural area. There were some genuine supernatural lifeforms here, and the group would only be able to deal with those tier one or tier two ones.
But if a tier three came, or even a tier-four, mid-tier supernatural lifeform, everyone would need to run for their lives; they might even lose some members.
Thus, Avery was very careful now.
Shutting his eyes, he held that special key and sensed the direction that it pointed to.
Avery opened his eyes, and there was confusion in their depths. “The general direction points here, but the key does not give the exact location. Let’s look around for now.”
Just when the group was about to search the place, Gurney had a thought, so he spoke: “Let me try.”
Everyone looked towards Gurney.
Avery was not very hesitant; he directly threw the key to him.
Within the group, Gurney’s mental power was the strongest; that was without a doubt.
The terrifying strength of Gurney’s spells was still deeply etched in their memories.
Holding onto the special key, Gurney sensed a formless power that directed him to this area. This sense of direction came from the depths of his mind, and it was extremely clear.
It was no wonder that Avery concluded there was a treasure here.
On the surface, he was holding this key and sensing the location.
In truth, Gurney was currently looking at the dynamic map of his [Special Encounter] function.
The key could not give him an accurate direction, but the system directly pointed out the location of the Blood Magic Door in Gurney’s dynamic vision with a visual indicator.
Looking at this door, it was as if he had a transparency cheat; he could even see the exact distance of the door and the incantation needed to open it.
Yes, the system even wrote out the incantation that was needed to open the door!
Even without this key, Gurney would still be able to open the door using this incantation that the system provided.
After sensing it for some time, Gurney walked away from the group.
He arrived at the grayish mountain wall.
Next, he held up the key and stabbed it into an inconspicuous hole, before turning it.
Crack crack…
With a soft mechanical sound, a thick stone door slowly opened itself.
