After buying the scroll and ordering the ring, Zhou Chen and the tall girl visited the remaining places, such as the market and the library, to gain some knowledge. However, they did not buy anything because they did not find anything suitable for them.

After that, they went to a tavern called the Sleeping Red Dragon, where the bounties and missions of Red Valley City were posted.

Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern was quite large. The hall alone was over 300 square meters. There were many people dressed in different styles inside, drinking and chatting about the various rumors and looking for missions that were suitable for them.

Occasionally, some hot-tempered people would fight inside, attracting special care from the guards in the tavern, and were thrown out.

After Zhou Chen and the tall girl entered the tavern, they went straight to the area with the missions.

“An intact adult snow bear skin. Reward: 5 gold coins.”

“Recruiting a few caravan guards. Those who are interested, please come for an interview. The address is…”

“An intact Vampire fang. Reward: 20 gold coins.”

“The Black Blood Mercenary Group invites fresh blood. Those with too low strength, do not bother…”

“15 gold coins for the head of one person. Those who are interested, please come…”

After casually looking around, Zhou Chen realized that the missions here were very disorderly. There were various types all mixed together, and some were even recruitment advertisements.

“There is not a suitable mission for me…”

After reading for a while, Zhou Chen lost interest. The tall girl, on the other hand, read the mission posts very carefully. Soon, she tore off the post with the mission of obtaining snow fox skin.

The reward for this mission was only one gold coin. However, the difficulty was low, and it could be completed as long as the snow fox was found and killed.

After the tall girl accepted the mission, she quickly bid farewell to Zhou Chen and left for the wilderness outside the city. Zhou Chen also left the Sleeping Red Dragon Tavern and began to make plans.

“According to the information I found in the market and the library, the Giant Saber-Toothed Tiger King is secretive, and I can only try my luck in the wilderness. Lightning specters are even rarer, and there are few patterns to their appearance. Only the source of the amethyst stone is fixed, and I can go to the underground world to search.”

According to the information he had gathered recently, Zhou Chen quickly made a decision and prepared to head to a cave on the east of Red Valley City to try his luck.

This cave was discovered by the people of Red Valley City in the last two months. It had no official name, so it was just called the nameless cave. Rumor had it that the cave was bottomless and many good materials could be found there, but there were also some dangerous monsters living in it. Many adventurers had died there.

Zhou Chen had overheard some diners talking about the nameless cave when he was eating in the Warm Forest Inn. He had later investigated and gathered more information.

Shortly after, Zhou Chen took a carriage and exited through the city gate of Red Valley City to the east.

The nameless cave was about 40 kilometers away from Red Valley City. This distance was not considered very far, but it would take more time on foot. Zhou Chen did not lack that bit of money, so he called a carriage to hurry there.

Carriages could not reach the nameless cave directly, Zhou Chen would need to walk another seven to eight kilometers after getting off the carriage.

About two hours later, Zhou Chen got off the carriage on a narrow mountain path covered in snow and began to climb the mountain.

He had already prepared a simple map of the surrounding area, so it was not difficult to find the place. After climbing for a while, he even encountered someone coming down the mountain.

It was a muscular middle-aged native. When he saw Zhou Chen, he quickly said,

“You are going to the nameless cave, right? There's no need to bother. Those bastards from the Black Blood Mercenary Group treat that place as their territory and won't let anyone enter.”

“Oh? There's such a thing?”

Zhou Chen was a little surprised. The information he had gathered did not mention this. Perhaps this situation had only appeared recently.

The middle-aged native left after reminding Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen naturally would not give up on his plan because of this. He followed the route and spent an hour reaching the target area.

During this process, Zhou Chen encountered a few more natives coming down the mountain. They also looked to have been chased back, and some of them even had injuries.

The entrance of the nameless cave was on a rather remote and steep slope. The entrance was small, allowing two people to enter at most. There were some protruding stones near the entrance that blocked it. Otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago.

Zhou Chen was about 300 meters away from the slope. He saw two small wooden sheds under the slope. More than ten armed muscular men were guarding around the sheds. Two of the muscular men were chasing away a young native wearing leather armor.

“More than ten people, they don't look weak. It might take some effort to fight them head-on, I should try to sneak in.”

After some thought, Zhou Chen slowly approached the slope. After seeing no more obstacles to hide behind, he took out a bottle of white potion from his inventory and took a sip.

Zhou Chen disappeared, as if he had turned into air.

This was the Invisibility Potion he had obtained in the Underground City. He had only used a little of it, and it was enough for his usage here.

After entering the invisible state, Zhou Chen activated his Windrun ability. He quietly and quickly charged up the slope from a distance away from the guards and arrived at the entrance of the nameless cave like a breeze.

When he arrived at the entrance, he realized that there was actually an iron fence placed here. The fence was tightly closed, and there was a person guarding inside.

Zhou Chen was speechless. He did not expect a cave to be so tightly guarded by this mercenary group.

At this moment, Zhou Chen's invisibility was about to end. He reached his arms into the iron fence, grabbed the neck and mouth of the guard. He used all his strength to knock the guard unconscious, and then slowly opened the iron fence.

Then, he quickened his pace, gradually walking underground.

The inside of this nameless cave was much larger than its entrance. Before long, Zhou Chen arrived at a relatively empty space.

It was pitch-black inside. With the help of his Dark Vision, Zhou Chen saw that there were several passages ahead. He walked into one of them, but before long, he returned because the passage was a dead end.

“This cave seems to have complicated passages. I have to mark it.”

He quickly used his spear to carve on the wall..
