Chapter 1577: Chapter 10: Lost Town — Real Life Edition (Double-Length) (Part 2)
The vendor shouted from behind:
"Don’t go, this is an A-level Negative Storage Stone. Even if you don’t believe me, don’t you believe in the Treasure Witch’s treasure appraisal ability!"
The surrounding passersby and vendors frequently glanced over, their gazes falling on the Treasure Witch.
In a place like this, a pet beast like the Treasure Witch, which can sense the location of treasures, is highly sought after.
Quickly, many bystanders gathered around the stall with the Negative Storage Stone, inquiring about the price.
Wow, it turns out they’re asking such a high price because they saw the Treasure Witch fancy the Negative Storage Stone... Qiao Sang whispered to the Treasure Witch:
"Wait until you see something good, don’t get excited. You need to shake your head and sigh, indicating the item is not worth it."
"Wu wu."
Although the Treasure Witch didn’t understand why, it still nodded.
At this moment, Mikaela walked over and said:
"The stuff here was brought out of that ghost mist, and there’s news that someone saw a Spirit Crossing Cat inside about a week ago, which is why so many people are gathered here. In about a week’s time, the items in the ghost mist have probably been mostly found."
This means that going in now might not yield any good finds.
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment:
"Teacher, how do you know so much?"
Mikaela replied calmly:
"Just overheard it."
Most of the people coming here are interested in entering the ghost mist, so naturally, they’re discussing related topics.
I thought they were simply here to buy things, but it turns out they’re collecting information... Qiao Sang felt there was still much to learn, looking at Teacher Mikaela with admiration, and asked:
"Did you hear anything else?"
Mikaela paused for a moment and said:
"It’s said that this ghost mist has been around for tens of thousands of years. It was originally a place called Ghost Town, then one day, hundreds of Secret Realm Rifts appeared suddenly, with wild Spectral-type Pet Beasts gathering, and the town’s people were trapped inside, losing contact with the outside."
"Just when everyone thought the people of Ghost Town perished inside, they came out unharmed. The legend says the mysterious pet beast Mysterious Blackram saved them."
"The people may have been saved, but the ghost mist remained, making it an accursed area, a forbidden place."
"Now, they are likely gathered for the Spirit Crossing Cat."
The forbidden area may be scary, but the allure of the Spirit Crossing Cat is enough for people to overcome their fear, especially those Beast Tamers nearing the end of their age.
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned and blurted out:
"Lost Town?"
Mikaela gave a slight nod:
"Indeed, it’s called the Lost Town here, and I’ve heard many Beast Tamers ventured in later and left many behind."
Qiao Sang: "..."
I meant the escape room I chose back then...
It seems that escape room was based on real events...
Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, collected her thoughts, and asked in disbelief:
"Did you just hear about this too?"
"No," Mikaela shook her head and said, "This location in Dragon Country is quite famous, and I heard about it when I was in Eagle Country."
So that’s it, I almost thought that just browsing the stalls for a while could yield such information... thought Qiao Sang.
Mikaela asked:
"Do you still want to go in?"
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds, inquiring:
"Can we come out in time? I’m worried about missing the Treasure Witch’s Secret Realm Rift."
Initially, she didn’t know this ghost mist corresponded to the Lost Town. Now that she knows many have disappeared inside, she’s not worried about getting out, but rather not being able to come out in time.
"Wu wu..."
The Treasure Witch was a bit puzzled upon hearing this.
Mikaela said:
"With me here, you can."
Her calm demeanor and confident tone immediately filled Qiao Sang with a sense of security, and she said, chest puffed out and fearless:
"Since we can come out in time, of course, we’re going in. There’s a saying in Dragon Country, ’You’ve already come this far.’
With an S-rank Beastmaster and the Treasure Witch by her side, if she didn’t go in, it would be like having a hundred-dollar bill in front of her and not picking it up.
With the Treasure Witch, the treasures you can encounter are worth much more than a hundred-dollar bill.
Mikaela nodded and said:
"Then let’s go."
Huh? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned:
"Not browsing around anymore?"
Mikaela glanced around and said:
"Everyone is preparing to go in. Do you think there’s anything good left for you?"
Qiao Sang looked at the people around, seriously inspecting the items at the stalls with their pet beasts, remained silent for a moment, and then said nothing more, heading towards the direction of the ghost mist with Teacher Mikaela.
