Chapter 438: Chapter 273: Unexpected Visitors of Foggy Mountain_3

After usually coming back from meetings, there was always a cat waiting for him at home. Now, with Cola gone, his home wasn’t as desolate as he had imagined.

Children’s laughter echoed, and Mu You opened his zoo backpack and walked inside for a look.

A little girl was gleefully riding a chocobo around the courtyard.

After explaining the current situation to her yesterday, the little girl voluntarily adopted a sleeping pattern to sleep during the day and be active at night. Once guests left and it was no longer business hours in the afternoon, the zoo would transform into her personal playground and she thoroughly enjoyed herself.

"Mu You, I’m a bit hungry!"

Upon seeing Mu You, she disappeared from the chocobo’s back and reappeared before him. She tugged at his clothes expectantly. It looked like she remembered the taste of fried chicken from yesterday.

Her ability to freely move around within the backpack space was something Mu You greatly envied.

He shook his head and took out his phone, preparing to order takeaway again.

To his surprise, just as he opened his phone, he was bombarded with a queue of private messages from a forum in the background of his phone.

Upon checking the forum, he saw that the private messages were from ’End of July,’ also known as Leo.

"Boss, I think I received SOS messages from Libra and Capricorn!"

"Oh? What’s going on?" Mu You asked hurriedly.

"Winter Curse and Holy Light Nana, these two should be the alternate IDs of Libra and Capricorn. I’ve sent them friend requests before, but because we haven’t confirmed their identities, we haven’t talked much."

"I’ve just now come online and noticed a game message from ’Winter Curse’ saying that they have encountered a battle in the Star Spirit World and are trapped there. Their situation is quite dangerous and they are hoping that we could help them as soon as possible with the Reaper’s Pact!"

"Are you saying Libra and Capricorn are currently in the Star Spirit World?" Mu You asked.

"That’s right, they must’ve entered the realm yesterday." Leo replied.

"Where exactly are they?"

"Let me check... Ohh, they’re on Foggy Mountain..."

"What mountain?"

"Yes, Foggy Mountain. It’s the place that Winter Curse mentioned in the message. They are trapped somewhere inside a tomb on this mountain. Boss, is there a problem with this location?"

"Nothing..."

"Ah, Boss, shall we gather everyone and start the rescue operation?" Leo asked.

"If it’s Foggy Mountain, that won’t be necessary for the time being. I’m not far away. I’ll go there myself to check." Mu You answered.

"Oh okay, that would be best!"

"Boss, feel free to call me whenever you need me!"

"Alright."

...

Once his private chat with Leo ended, Mu You logged out of the forum, his expression slightly peculiar.

Libra and Capricorn, so they were on Foggy Mountain and had even encountered a battle...

Does this mean the tomb hidden in Foggy Mountain has already been found by many people?

If that’s the case, how did they find it?

Could it be due to the shard of Dawn City that he had left there?

As for who would track the shard of Dawn City, could it be the people of Son of Heaven or Jack?

Several hypotheses flooded Mu You’s mind, but unfortunately, none could be confirmed as he lacked much information.

Without further ado, he quickly logged into the game, steered his character back to the cabin in Phoenix City, and teleported to Foggy Mountain from there.

[Teleported and feeling dizzy, you arrive in the secret chamber within the tomb on Foggy Mountain.]

Fortunately, for convenience, Mu You had dismantled the teleportation array initially placed at the entrance of the tomb and moved it to the secret chamber at the top of the tomb.

At this moment, he succeeded in teleporting to the secret chamber, meaning that the teleportation array wasn’t dismantled yet. Thus, the invaders likely have not discovered this place yet.

Mu You first controlled his character to examine the secret chamber and indeed, there were no signs of the ice sarcophagus being opened. The bodies of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue inside remained intact.

Mu You heaved a sigh of relief, stepped out of the chamber, and assessed the condition of the tomb.

[You exit the secret chamber, going downstairs and releasing the gargoyle.]

Others, apart from Mu You and the gargoyle, could only move freely within the tomb.

Mu You instructed the gargoyle to take one of the pathways, while he took the other. They both checked the two passages leading downward simultaneously, searching for any suspicious characters within the tomb.

[You reach the lower level of the tomb, and suddenly hear a monstrous roar coming from the corridor ahead, as though a considerable amount of magical beasts are gathered there. Would you like to check it out?]

[You chose to proceed to check.]

[After traversing a pitch-black corridor, you see a cave in a large hall ahead, the entrance of which is covered by an ice wall. Countless high-level monsters dedicated to guarding the tomb are gathered here, ferociously attacking the ice wall.]

[Through the icy wall, you faintly see two shadows behind it.]

"An ice wall?"

Seeing this text prompt, Mu You started to think.

A normal ice wall would not be able to withstand the attack of these high-level monsters. The ice wall here was clearly a stronger version made from Black Magic.

Could the figures hiding in the cave behind the wall be Libra and Capricorn?

However, why wouldn’t they use the teleportation mark to escape if they were only surrounded to this extent?

[You wear the Vampire Earl’s skin and step forward, ordering the monsters to stop.]

[The other monsters cease their attack upon seeing you, and they all step back, clearing a space in front of the cave.]

[You walk past the monsters to the front of the ice wall and call out to ask for the identities of the people behind it.]
