Chapter 1407: Chapter 614: Medicine God and Barbarian Sentry

"Right at your doorstep?" Mu You wore a strange expression.

"Yes, of course, that’s the name our exploration team came up with because the mountain looks a lot like an upside-down gourd, so we called it ’Gourd Mountain’. We still don’t know its real name though."

"And the paths around Gourd Mountain match the outlines drawn on the map perfectly." Solomon said.

"I see..."

Mu You began to understand.

When the Fool’s Ancestors ascended to the sky, the various cities in the sky were indeed able to teleport to each other. Thus, the surroundings of each Sky City were the most frequently visited areas by the Fool’s Ancestors. It was not odd to find clues in these places.

"Alright, thanks. I’ll go take a look now," said Mu You.

"Then... should I clear the area of people?" Solomon suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Mu You did not quite grasp his meaning at first.

"Ahem, what I mean is, there’s quite a number of players exploring Gourd Mountain right now..." Solomon chuckled awkwardly.

Although Mu You did not specify what the map was, Solomon could somehow sense that it might be a Treasure Map.

The great god clearly wanted to hunt for treasure, but now millions of players in City of Dawn were eagerly pioneering the area, with Gourd Mountain at their doorstep taking the brunt of it. Admittedly, others didn’t have the Treasure Map, but with such a large number of players diligently scanning the land, theoretically it would be impossible for any treasure to remain hidden. Unluckily, someone might even find and take the treasure before the great god does, it wasn’t impossible.

"Uh, I appreciate the thought, but there’s no need..."

Mu You wiped sweat from his brow, realizing Solomon was prepared to make private use of public power.

On this matter, Mu You wasn’t too worried. After all, City of Dawn had only been in the sky for three days.

Without the exact location of the treasure, others could only try their luck at random. The X marked spot on the map was quite concealed, located halfway up a steep peak. It was not easy to reach this place without the ability to fly; therefore, within the short span of three days since pioneering began, it was unlikely for players to have reached here.

If the treasure had indeed been taken by a player already, then he would just have bad luck.

"Okay then, if the great god needs anything just let me know," said Solomon.

"Sure, thank you," Mu You responded.

After hanging up the private chat, Mu You immediately controlled his character to teleport there.

[You have used the Teleportation Array to arrive at City of Dawn.]

[You teleport to the edge of City of Dawn...]

[Beyond the mist, you see an upside-down mountain peak before your eyes, with a strange topography that narrows from bottom to top. The summit is wide and flat, and it begins to gradually thin out at the waist of the mountain. The base is slender like a bee’s waist. From a distance, it looks like a huge green gourd, hanging between heaven and earth, making you marvel at the sheer craftsmanship of nature...]

[At this moment, you see dense figures struggling to climb up the mountain...]

[You transform into a sparrow-like form, spread your wings and fly up along the mountain. Along the way, the Fools clinging to the mountain all throw surprised looks in your direction...]

As expected, many people were already exploring the mountain. Fortunately, due to the treacherous terrain, most players remained below the halfway mark. It seems that no one has reached the X location marked on the map yet.

[You land halfway up the mountain, where it’s empty. The mountain wall is slippery with moss and covered with sharp vines, offering no foothold...]

[You fly along the mountain wall, searching, but find nothing unusual...]

At this point, Mu You’s character reached the marked location on the map, but considering the surrounding environment, it didn’t look like a place where humans could live long-term.

Mu You did not give up and continued to search patiently.

[While flying past a section of the mountain wall, you suddenly notice something unusual about the mountain to your left.]

[You maximize your superpowers and quickly discover a concealed cave between the hanging cliffs covered with dense vines, hardly noticeable from the outside...]

"Found it!"

Mu You’s eyes lit up, and he quickly controlled his character to move forward.

[You fly to the cave, cut the surrounding vines, and step into the cave.]

[Inside the arch-shaped cave, it’s empty of all life, with stone tables and chairs and some rudimentary tools placed before the walls on both sides...]

[You move deeper into the cave, which has been artificially excavated into a square room. Inside, there are two wooden shelves; one filled with beast skin scrolls that are neatly bundled with silk, and another with various bottles, jars, and mortar-like tools.]

[On the inside of the room, there is a rotting wooden bed, and leaning in a corner is a human skeleton, with a beast skin scroll grasped in its left hand and a Wildman’s Fang Ornament of the size of a palm hanging around its neck.]

[You examine the skeleton and quickly confirm it’s the bones of a Fool, which seemed to have died only a few years ago.]

"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback.

It was no surprise to find a Fool’s skeleton here, but what’s surprising is the text saying this person had died only a few years ago?

After all, the Fool’s Ancestors returned to the Star Spirit World over thirteen hundred years ago, and it was just half a month ago that their new generation of Fools had returned to the Sky High World. During this time, there should have been no Fools present in the Sky High World...

Could it be that this person didn’t follow Sky City back to the Star Spirit World and instead stayed in the Sky High World?
