Chapter 118

The last glimpse Lin En had before being teleported away terrified some of the gods, especially the lower and middle-ranked ones. Some hadn't even recovered yet.

Some gods had already decided that once they returned to the Divine Hall, they would hide inside for a thousand years. They'd wait until that summoner had completely forgotten about them before venturing out again, staying put and living as shut-ins during that time.

The higher-ranked gods glanced at them and then disappeared.

Seeing the higher-ranked gods leave, the other gods began to depart one after another. In just a few seconds, only the empty secret realm remained.

...

Teleported back, Lin En looked at the divine spark and treasure chest before him. The divine spark was just a middle-ranked fire-elemental one, not great. If not for the treasure chest from the Dungeon System, Lin En wouldn't even look at this reward.

Looking at the Mythic Treasure Chest, with its faint red glow, Lin En expressed a bit of disappointment. "That's it?"

"Hopefully, I won't encounter this type of secret realm again. It's a waste of time, and the rewards are poor."

He checked the number of digs left and found there were still five. He put the treasure chest away, planning to open it after using up the dig chances.

Lin En took out his pickaxe and started digging quickly. Unfortunately, these five dungeon attempts didn't reveal any special dungeons. The digs were uneventful.

He materialized his home and placed the Mythic Treasure Chest on the table. Lin En took a shower first, then prepared to open the treasure chest.

He sat on the sofa and opened the treasure chest.

[System: Shadowburn Sword *1]

[System: Mysterious Egg *1]

[System: Thunder Warhammer *1]

[System: Tree of Wisdom *1]

The four items floated in the air, and the treasure chest began to dissipate.

Lin En began to check the properties of the items, using Appraisal.

Name: Shadowburn Sword

Category: Divine Skill

Effect: Shadowburn

{A divine skill created by a certain chief god, combining dark and fire laws. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it's also an attack launched from the shadows, making it difficult to defend against.}

"What's so hard to defend against about an attack from the shadows?" Although puzzled, Lin En didn't plan to learn it. "I'll leave it for the demonkin. I remember there's one who's very suitable for this skill."

Let's look at the next item.

Name: Mysterious Egg

Category: Egg

Effect: Hatch, Eat?

{An egg that can hatch into a mysterious creature}

Hidden Effect: Will hatch into a corresponding mysterious creature based on the environment.

"This..." Lin En already had a place in mind to hatch it.

Next.

Name: Thunder Warhammer (Low-Rank Divine Artifact)

Category: Divine Artifact

Effect: Thunder Strike

{A super low-profile version of Thor's hammer, crafted by a worshiper of the Thunder God Thor}

"No wonder it looks a bit familiar. Too bad I don't play with hammers."

Name: Tree of Wisdom

Category: Special Building

Effect: Fruit of Wisdom

{Besides the Tree of Life, there is also a Tree of Wisdom full of intelligence in the elven holy land.}

Hidden Effect: Planting it with the Tree of Life will have unexpected results.

"Tree of Wisdom," Lin En's mind immediately conjured up the scene of a giant tree suddenly sprouting an old face and then rambling on and on.

He shook his head, dismissing the image from his mind. "It might not necessarily be like that."

He put away the four items. Lin En headed towards the tavern. Putting everything else aside, Auntie Shirley would definitely be very happy about the Tree of Wisdom.

Soon, Lin En arrived at the tavern.

Sure enough, Shirley was delighted by the appearance of the Tree of Wisdom. She first patted Lin En on the shoulder, then grabbed the Tree of Wisdom and ran off.

Watching his aunt disappear through the tavern door, Lin En blinked, then asked the demonkin Xiaona for a drink, and handed her the Shadowburn Sword and Thunder Warhammer to deal with.

He took a small sip of the drink. "Ah~ satisfying."

"Right," Lin En ran behind the bar and watched the demonkin Xiaona's bartending skills with sparkling eyes. As he watched, he felt like he could do it again, then he picked up a shaker and started mixing a drink.

Looking at the shaker, Lin En followed Xiaona's steps, pouring in the ingredients one by one, then capped it and started shaking it vigorously.

Whirr, whirr, soon, two glasses of wine were mixed. As he poured the two glasses, two very clear drinks appeared before Lin En.

"This, this, could it be that I succeeded?!"

The demonkin Xiaona looked at Lin En, who was extremely excited, with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? It's just mixing two glasses of wine. Why is he so excited?"

Moreover, looking at the clear wine, the demonkin Xiaona was a bit puzzled. "If I remember correctly, the drink that Master Lin En mixed should be Misty Bloom, right? But the Misty Bloom I mix is supposed to be a light orange color."

Looking at the two crystal-clear glasses of wine, "How on earth did he do it?" The demonkin Xiaona looked at Lin En with shining eyes. "Is it a new drink? Specially made by Master Lin En? I want to learn it!"

Calming his excited heart and trembling hands, Lin En picked up a glass and took a small sip. "Zap, zap, what is this taste! Hmm? Why is it getting foggy around here? Hmm? What's that up ahead?" He looked closely. "So, it's a bridge, the Bridge of Helplessness. The name sounds familiar."

"Hmm? Oh! The Bridge of Helplessness!!!"

Lin En was startled. He closed his eyes and shook his head violently. When he opened his eyes, there was no Bridge of Helplessness. He was clearly still in the tavern.

"That scared me. Just a small glass of wine? And it made me see the Bridge of Helplessness? The taste is quite good, but this effect... hmm, it's also very good."

"Right," he looked at Xiaona, Lin En smiled and said, "Xiaona, try this drink and see what it's like? Can we put it on the menu?"

The demonkin Xiaona asked with bright eyes, "Really? Then I'll give it a try? If the taste and the effect are both good, it can become a new item."

The demonkin Xiaona eagerly picked up the glass and took a small sip. "Hmm~~ the taste is indeed very good, qualified. As for the effect, hmm? What's going on? Aren't I in the tavern? Where is this?"

Hmm? The demonkin Xiaona suddenly looked ahead warily. A huge, pitch-black demon suddenly appeared.

Lin En watched the demonkin Xiaona's changing expression. "So, that's what it's like after drinking it." He felt a bit embarrassed, hehe, took out his camera and started snapping pictures to keep as souvenirs.

Realizing that Xiaona was about to wake up, Lin En quickly put away the camera. The next second, Xiaona woke up.

Lin En suddenly noticed that Xiaona's rosy lips had turned pale. Curious, "What did Xiaona see? She was scared like that?"

The demonkin Xiaona calmed herself down, then glared at Lin En fiercely. "You didn't mention this kind of ghostly effect?"
