Chapter 330: Chapter 328: 3 Magic Stones and the Long-Awaited Dungeon Dish
The twisting Molten Giant Snake moved freely in front of the sun.
The churning lava and the remnants of the scorching sun dyed the horizon blood-red.
The setting sun behind the mountains caused the snow in the sky to fall again, and the approaching cold wind hinted at the impending blizzard that would arrive at night.
A vehicle was speeding across the snowy landscape.
Inside the vehicle, YueYue stood on his exclusive platform, steering it steadily forward.
Meanwhile, the wanted posters for Kane and his group, along with the map constantly marking their location, had disappeared from the sky.
The wanted posters and map had hung in the sky for about three hours, and would reappear daily for everyone to see until Kane and the others met their demise.
Longbei, wrapped in bandages, was lying in his seat, snoring away. Kane had adjusted his seat into a bed that suited his size.
Not just Longbei, but Meizike too, wrapped in a blanket in his seat, had fallen into a deep sleep.
Beside Kane, Kreya had also laid down, resting her head on Kane’s thigh, sleeping soundly.
Noticing Kreya’s habit of tugging at the blanket, Kane adjusted it back over her.
Looking at Lilulu, who was sprawled on his other leg, Kane tapped her on the back of the head.
"Lilulu, why aren’t you sleeping?"
Lilulu irritably reached behind her back, brushing away Kane’s fingers, "Annoying Kane, can’t you see I’m busy?"
"Today, Lilulu must finish this puzzle," she said, rubbing her sleepy eyes and forcing herself to focus on the puzzle before her.
Indeed, Kane had finally thought of a treasure that could exhaust Lilulu’s boundless energy—puzzles.
After Kane used his original power to create a puzzle, this novel thing completely captivated Lilulu.
Lilulu had been working on it on Kane’s lap for the better part of the day.
"Bang!"
"Zzzz!"
Hearing the commotion on his thigh, Kane looked down.
It turned out Lilulu could no longer hold on and had fallen asleep on the half-completed puzzle.
Seeing the half-finished puzzle scattered by the impact of her head, he could already imagine how Lilulu would react upon waking.
Seeing everyone in the vehicle asleep, drowsiness crept over Kane.
Despite not having suffered any severe injuries and not losing anyone during the earlier ambush, the battle had drained a lot of their magic power and physical strength, necessitating sleep.
Kane yawned and said to YueYue beside him, "I’m going to sleep as well, YueYue, keep an eye on our surroundings."
"Yes, Master."
He then stretched his seat to the side, laid down his head, and fell into a deep sleep.
The sun slowly sank behind the mountains, engulfing the entire dungeon in darkness, with only the moon above offering a sliver of light.
The gusting wind and snow outside the vehicle signaled the blizzard’s arrival.
The transparent vehicle cover rapidly accumulated a thick layer of snow, plunging the vehicle’s interior into pitch-blackness.
Only YueYue’s camera emitted specks of blue light, but sensing everyone was asleep, he refrained from turning on the interior lights to avoid disturbing their rest.
Now, YueYue had developed a reasonable degree of autonomy, though he still hadn’t grasped emotions.
In his dreams, Kane vaguely heard Lilulu’s heart-rending cries and slowly opened his eyes.
"Waaaaa! Lilulu’s day’s work is gone just like that," Lilulu cried sorrowfully at the shattered puzzle before her.
Large teardrops fell from her eyes, her face adorned with several pieces of the puzzle, with puzzle prints imprinted around her cheeks.
Beside her, Kreya held back laughter, wiping away Lilulu’s tears and comforting her.
"It’s okay, don’t cry, I’ll help you finish it, we’ll have it done in no time."
Meanwhile, Longbei and Meizike had awakened, playing chess as Kane had taught, occupying the seats in the back.
These chess sets had long been turned into tangible objects by Kane using the Skills of the Golden Cauldron.
Yawning and stretching, Kane rose, tossing off the inexplicably draped blanket.
Seeing the distressed Lilulu, Kane waggled his fingers.
The scattered puzzle pieces floated up.
They began piecing themselves together in the air, soon transforming back into the form Lilulu had left it before falling asleep.
Before Kane slept, he had recorded Lilulu’s progress, anticipating her tears.
Seeing the few missing pieces, Lilulu quickly plucked the pieces from her face and slotted them in.
Seeing this, Lilulu smiled through her tears.
Fluttering her wings, she flew up to Kane, hugging him, and rubbed her head against his clothes, wiping her tears.
Looking down at the smiling Lilulu, Kane beamed back, "Thank you, Kane, you’re the best."
