Acai's Sky

Chapter 142: Fragrance Search 1

Ah Cai stood at the entrance of the "Searching Fragrance Dungeon" and found the old man who was guarding it. She smiled and said, "Old man, I want to enter this dungeon."

The old guard raised his eyelids and replied calmly, "There are three stages, and the fees required for each stage are different: 10 copper coins, 10 silver coins, and 10 gold coins."

The old man was silent for a moment before continuing, "Many people have entered the lower and middle dungeons, but no one has dared to challenge the highest dungeon yet. No one knows what's inside."

A Cai frowned and thought, wondering which of these three copies should he choose?

She asked, "Have most players already cleared the low-level and mid-level dungeons?"

The old man twitched his lips and replied with disdain, "Humph, no one has yet passed the level. If it were possible, they wouldn't require all players to spend a year here!"

Ah Cai was speechless and muttered to herself, "This game is too difficult..."

Seeing Ah Cai's distressed expression, the old man felt that it must be quite difficult for a young girl like her, so he kindly explained a few more words: "Actually, the low-level and mid-level dungeons are not difficult, it's just that these players simply can't persist!"

A Cai scratched his head, wondering whether he should try the most difficult advanced copy first.

Since no one had ever been there before, she could go and experience it herself. She might even get something unexpected! Thinking of this, she decided to give it a try.

Ah Cai took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then she looked up at the old man guarding the dungeon and said, "Old man, I'm going to challenge a high-level dungeon worth 10 gold coins!"

When the old man who was guarding the copy heard this, he suddenly looked up and looked at Acai with a look of surprise.

He kindly reminded her, "Little girl, this high-level dungeon is not easy to pass. If you can't pass it, those 10 gold coins will not be refunded!"

A Cai nodded vigorously, indicating that she knew the rule, and then put the two little guys into the spirit beast bracelet.

She stood quietly aside, her hands folded in front of her, waiting for the old copy master to open the high-level copy.

Her eyes were focused and determined, and she seemed to be looking forward to the copy she was about to enter.

The old man in charge of the copy shook his head helplessly. He knew that Acai wanted to challenge the copy with the highest difficulty.

But in addition to requiring a high amount of gold coins, this copy is also daunting because of its uncertainty.

No one is willing to try such a copy easily because no one knows where they will be teleported to.

A Cai took out 10 gold coins from his pocket and gave them to the old man.

The old man sighed deeply, turned around and opened the formation at the entrance to the high-level copy.

What makes this copy so mysterious and dangerous is its non-directional nature.

That is to say, once entering this copy, players will face completely unknown environments and challenges, and even the direction of the copy is a mystery.

Ah Cai watched as the old man dropped gold coins into a formation. The runes in the formation flickered, emitting a dazzling light.

Soon, a faintly glowing portal appeared on the nearby wall. This was the passage to the high-level dungeon.

The old man handed Ah Cai a jade token and told her: "Take this jade token. If you encounter danger or want to come back, you can just crush the jade token and you will be able to return safely."

Ah Cai took the jade token respectfully, thanked the old man in the copy, and walked into the portal without hesitation.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the portal, and the portal disappeared as well, as if it had never existed.

The old man looked at Ah Cai's departing back and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that she could return safely.

At the same time, he also admired Acai's courage and determination for daring to challenge such a difficult copy.

However, for Ah Cai, this is just the beginning of her adventure...

★

The moment Acai stepped into the copy, a powerful force enveloped her, and then she lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Surrounded by a dense forest, the trees are tall and ancient. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

There seemed to be some gray fog covering the forest, making it appear dimly visible in the sunlight.

Acai stood up and looked around at this mysterious world.

She could sense that there were many unknown dangers lurking around her, but she was not afraid. Instead, she was full of curiosity and excitement.

She decided to explore this copy carefully to see if she could find any useful clues or treasures.

Ah Cai opened the spirit beast bracelet and released the two little ones. "Stay with me in stealth. We are in a dungeon now, and everything is unknown. It is best to be careful!"

Jin Yuanbao nodded obediently, jumped onto the golden raccoon's head, and hid his body.

The golden raccoon dog also put on the "invisible leaves" and prepared to follow its owner.

Acai took a deep breath and opened the map.

[The map is generating a new interface...]

[The map of the Netherworld of the Namo Continent has been generated...]

As the map unfolded, a clear map image appeared in front of Acai's eyes.

She looked at the map carefully and found herself in a dense forest.

"Huh? Why are there so many green trees here? Have I come to a different dark place?" A Cai said to herself in confusion.

Normally, the netherworld should be a dark, eerie scene, but now she could see large areas of green vegetation, which surprised her greatly.

She sighed softly and decided to keep going. According to the map, the nearest place to her was a small village outside the forest.

As Ah Cai walked, she exclaimed with emotion: "This dungeon is really amazing! The map is so huge, it feels like entering another world!"

Ah Cai is looking forward to the next adventure excitedly. She believes that this mysterious underworld will bring her more surprises and challenges.

As Ah Cai went deeper, she gradually adapted to the vibrant forest. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating dappled shadows. A gentle breeze caressed her face, bringing fresh air and the delicate scent of flowers.

Ah Cai couldn't help but stop and take in the beauty of nature. She closed her eyes, listened to the birds singing, and savored the scent of green grass in the air.

However, just as she was enjoying herself, a low and sad roar broke the silence.

Ah Cai suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of the sound with caution. Her heart tightened, wondering what kind of terrifying monster was hiding in this forest.

Jin Yuanbao commanded the Golden Raccoon to run over to watch the fun. They would go wherever there was fun!

"Master, master, come quickly! Here comes a bargain!"

A Cai heard Jin Yuanbao's shouting and hurried to the place where the sound came from.

When I looked closely, I saw a white tiger with wings lying on the ground covered in blood, no longer breathing!

Next to it was a black bear with a sapling on its head. Its neck was broken and it looked like it had been killed by a tiger.

Ah Cai came over and asked, "Is this a lose-lose situation?"

Jin Yuanbao said excitedly, "Master, please put the body away quickly. This bear must taste delicious!"

Ah Cai saw the suspicious liquid at the corner of its mouth, "I know, put it away, and let Ah Jiu make it for you when we get back!"

The golden raccoon dog excitedly said, "It's delicious!"

A Cai gently stroked their little heads, then quickly walked forward and put the pile of Flying Tigers and Earth Bears into her bag.

Ah Cai looked at the gigantic Earth Bear before her, which was as tall as a ten-story building, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What kind of place have we come to? The monsters here are so huge."

She stared at the two little guys, only to see their faces full of eagerness for food. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you notice that these monsters are abnormally large?"

The golden raccoon blinked its big round eyes and answered innocently, "Master, these monsters are just this big! That 'breathing beast' is also about this size!"

Acai scratched his chin and suddenly realized: Yes, the "breath beast" is also this big!

She looked around carefully and suddenly realized.

"Since they're fighting so hard, there must be something precious. Let's look around!"

After that, Ah Cai took the lead in leading everyone to search the area. After all, what these two monsters were so desperately trying to get must be something extraordinary!

At this moment, the golden raccoon dog screamed excitedly: "Master, come quickly! Boss, come and see!"

Ah Cai was startled by his sharp cry and quickly covered her ears.

"Here it comes, here it comes! Stop shouting so loudly, you're going to deafen my ears!"

As she spoke, she walked quickly towards the golden raccoon dog.

"What good thing are you so excited about?"

Acai asked curiously.
