Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 179

Water surface.

Shen Ye stepped on the turtle shell, holding a long strip of paper and reading:

“A pair of dark goat horns.”

“Okay, here it is.” The octopod monster put the item down.

“Twelve ghost ganoderma.” Shen Ye read.

“Twelve… one, two, three… twelve, all here.” The octopod monster said.

It held the twelve ghost ganoderma and carefully placed them on the pile of items next to Shen Ye.

—Those quest items were almost piled up like a mountain.

“Next, six Beiyang ground ginseng.” Shen Ye read.

“Hmm, exactly six.” The octopod monster arranged the items neatly.

Shen Ye sighed and whispered:

“Completing the trial like this is simply uninspiring.”

“You’re complaining about being uninspired? Do you think I want this?” The octopod monster said blankly.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to blame you—a piece of hydrosquamose moss.” Shen Ye read.

“A piece of hydrosquamose moss—how many more tasks are there?”

“Halfway.”

“So slow.”

“Yes… let’s hurry up.”

And so, they passed one stage after another.

The last stage.

Shen Ye looked at the paper strip and read:

“Pass through the maze, find the exit, and successfully leave.”

The octopod monster let out a sigh of relief, collected all the quest items, took a deep breath, and pointed in a direction:

“You can fly up from here, follow the tunnel forward, and you’ll enter the maze.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“Go quickly! Don’t come back!”

Shen Ye shrugged, put away the Skeleton King—, and with a movement of his body, flew upwards.

After he left, the octopod monster finally showed a serious expression and whispered:

“This kid is really strong… The tutor is also a疯子, actually letting him ‘wander around’.”

“The exploration progress of the great tomb might speed up again…”

On the other side.

Shen Ye had already entered the underground maze.

To pass this stage, he had to successfully find the exit.

Standing in the dark tunnel, Shen Ye’s mood gradually turned unpleasant.

He had fought a battle with Song Qingyun in this kind of environment.

Just thinking about it put him in a bad mood.

“Be careful, there are many undead auras.” Big Skeleton said.

“Are they strong?” Shen Ye asked.

Big Skeleton hesitated: “It’s not a matter of whether it’s strong or not, it’s the kind of thing that makes people feel very strange—”

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow.

He rarely heard Big Skeleton speak in such an evasive tone.

Footsteps sounded.

A person with three heads appeared at the corner of the tunnel.

The three heads were a snake, a woman, and a devil.

It groaned, swaying, approaching Shen Ye step by step.

“Zombie? Three-headed!” Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise.

“What is a zombie?” Big Skeleton asked in confusion.

“Not a zombie? What kind of undead species is this?”

Shen Ye asked with interest.

“Oh, how can I put it, usually we would place them in a haunted house, you know, the kind of haunted attraction in an amusement park, an entertainment item used to scare the undead.” Big Skeleton said.

“So they don’t have much combat power then.” Shen Ye shrugged.

“They’ll act very formidable, but if you give them money, they’re very easy to talk to—they eat bone coins and various metals.” Big Skeleton said.

“This is the undead of our world, can they also use the bone coins of your world?” Shen Ye asked.

“—Bone coins are skeletons containing necromantic power. Every undead can absorb the power within, otherwise, why do you think we undead don’t use gold?”

“I see.”

Shen Ye took out a bone coin and waved it at the three-headed humanoid undead.

“Hey!”

He shouted: “This is my first time here, can you be my guide?”

The monster paused, then suddenly stretched out a hand and knocked out the snake head on the left and the devil head on the right.

Only the woman’s head in the middle remained.

“This is the legendary bone coin… it’s mine!”

The woman’s head took the bone coin, swallowed it whole, and ate it with relish.

Her left and right heads were unconscious, so they couldn’t compete with her for it.

“…” Shen Ye.

“…” Big Skeleton.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter which one of them eats it, since they all use the same digestive system.” Shen Ye asked.

“Exactly, but the head can taste it.” Big Skeleton said.

After eating the bone coin, the woman’s head bowed slightly and said:

“Sir, how would you like to stroll?”

“Just take me out.” Shen Ye said.

“Wouldn’t that take away a lot of fun—we have various ancient artifacts here for you to see, and a guided tour only costs eight—no, five bone coins!” The woman’s head said.

Shen Ye was about to refuse, but then he remembered his tutor’s request.

Wander around.

Indeed, this is a good place to wander around.

The tutor also had the reputation of being “serious”, acknowledged by the magic world.

Never mind—

Wander around then!

“I don’t have that much time. How about this, you just tell me some highlights, and we’ll take a quick tour.”

Shen Ye took out five bone coins and placed them in the other party’s hand.

The woman’s head’s eyes lit up, and she chirped:

“Sir, I’ll take you for a massage.”

“You have such services?” Shen Ye was surprised.

“We have many skeleton girls who understand skeletons far better than your human blind masseurs.”

“Really? My neck and shoulders have been a bit uncomfortable lately… are you good at massaging muscles?”

“Very good! Several abomination masters are not only familiar with muscles but also organs. A casual massage will guarantee you the ultimate pleasure!”

“Hiss—that sounds good, but I’m still taking an exam, next time for sure.” Shen Ye said.

“Then I’ll take you to see the most valuable collection here.”

She walked in front, Shen Ye followed behind, and they quickly arrived at the depths of the maze.

There was a tightly closed bronze door here.

Two horses were engraved on the door, with spear-wielding knights sitting on them, their faces full of murderous intent.

When Shen Ye arrived in front of this bronze door, the two knights immediately came to life, pointing their spears at Shen Ye.

“Stand back! Mortal!”

“This is not where you should be!”

They shouted in unison.

An overwhelming wave of power emanated from them, chilling to the bone.

“Very weak, amusement park grade.”

Big Skeleton whispered.

Shen Ye then understood.

But immediately, there was a “crackling” sound.

Shen Ye looked closely, only to see that the decorative stone chips on the wall were badly corroded.

The two knights had just made a slight movement, and these decorations began to peel off the wall and shatter into dust.

The woman’s head stepped forward and said loudly, “Haven’t I contributed enough here? This is my esteemed guest, who has come for a visit today, and you still want to stop him?”

The two knights exchanged glances, both somewhat hesitant.

A majestic voice rang out from beyond the bronze door:

“This is my resting place, even if you have made great contributions, you cannot be insolent!”

“I quit!” The woman’s head flared up, “Every time there’s a need for repairs or maintenance, haven’t I been the one running around? And now you’re putting on airs with me?”

She sobbed, turning to leave.

Shen Ye pulled her back.

“I’m sorry, I’ll find a way to return those bone coins to you.” The woman’s head said.

“No need,” Shen Ye waved his hand, “Just tell them, I’m just looking, not causing trouble, and I’ll pay a sum of bone coins to help you with the repairs.”

“Really?” The woman’s head asked.

“Really.”

“How much will you pay?”

“Hmm, how much

would a simple maintenance here cost you?”

“At least three hundred bone coins.”

“Three hundred bone coins…” Shen Ye mused.

“This is the bare minimum, if not, you can give two hundred, and we can still do some repairs.” The woman’s head said.

“Help them, it’s not easy for them.” Big Skeleton sighed.

“I’ll give you two thousand.”

Shen Ye decided directly.

The prince had given tens of millions, and he was giving two thousand for charity, so he believed the prince wouldn’t mind.

This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Shen Ye twirled his ring.

A small pile of bone coins clattered onto the ground.

The knights on the wall fell silent, and the woman’s head trembling stretched out her hand and snatched the bone coins.

The bone coins instantly disappeared.

“My dear sister, I’ll come again when I have time—oh, don’t cry, it’s nothing, just a bit of money, don’t worry about it, okay, just see me out.”

Minutes later.

On the ground.

“Senior.” A voice came from behind.

“Ah! You came out so early? Did those undead chase you away?” The Man turned around and asked in surprise.

Shen Ye stood there, his expression somewhat awkward.

“What happened?” The Man asked sternly.

“They gave me this—”

Shen Ye pulled out a plaque and held it up with both hands.

On the plaque were four large characters:

“Boss is generous.”

The man looked up for a while, then painfully uttered a single word:

“…Damn.”
