The two finally decided to first find a way to locate the boss. Fang Xinhan would make as much TNT as possible, hoping to try and take down the boss in one go.

However, the boss was definitely in the mist, so not being attacked by monsters in the mist was also a necessity.

"The Old Town Chief might have a way; after all, he's a descendant of a wizard. Tomorrow, you go ask the Old Town Chief, and I'll get some equipment. At least we'll have the power to protect ourselves in the mist."

"Alright, but where are you going now?"

Yuan Qingchen watched as Fang Xinhan walked towards the stream with a fishing rod.

"This is something I got from my last dungeon; you can fish up unexpected things."

Fang Xinhan showed off his fishing rod. Yuan Qingchen looked at the fishing rod with a hint of envy, but it was just envy.

"What about me?"

Yuan Qingchen indicated, "What should I do now?"

"Whatever, just don't seek death."

Fang Xinhan quickly walked to the stream and began fishing. He watched as ripples slowly appeared on the calm water and the float sank. He immediately reeled in his line.

Then, a tattered leather boot was reeled out.

Fang Xinhan: ...

"What terrible luck."

Fang Xinhan calmed himself down and continued fishing. However, it seemed like Fang Xinhan hadn't washed his face today, as he fished up a pile of trash: a green hat, rotten flesh, string, broken bottles, and so on.

Fang Xinhan, who was fishing, was starting to lose his composure, thinking, "Is this a fake fishing rod?" Just as Fang Xinhan was doubting, the hook moved again, and it was a book.

【Enchanted Book: Flame Aspect II】

"A good drop? And Flame Aspect II. But how do I enchant it?"

Fang Xinhan currently only possessed the characteristics of Minecraft; he had no health, hunger, or experience bar. He only had an inventory, a four-slot crafting table, and a backpack.

You think this is creative mode? No, it's not.

Fang Xinhan was like an unfinished product, but he wasn't disheartened. After all, being able to truly experience the fun of Minecraft was enough for him.

Fang Xinhan continued to fish, but he didn't catch anything good until the sun set.

Fang Xinhan returned to their residence. Yuan Qingchen asked if he had caught anything good. Fang Xinhan just dumped a pile of trash in front of Yuan Qingchen and said nothing.

Yuan Qingchen looked at the pile of trash in front of him and sighed, lamenting Fang Xinhan's bad luck.

At this moment, the 'plant people' outside began knocking on the door of Fang Xinhan and his companion's residence. Fang Xinhan, full of anger, was just looking for a place to vent.

So, Fang Xinhan used his minimap to eliminate all the nearby monsters.

"Phew~, that was refreshing!"

After venting his anger, Fang Xinhan returned to their residence, closed the door, and then fell asleep on his bed.

On the third day, Fang Xinhan and his companion first went to the church to listen to the teachings, just like yesterday, and then went to the stream to pick up black stones.

At noon, Yuan Qingchen went to find the Old Town Chief to inquire about Chuckel's whereabouts and how to navigate through the mist, while Fang Xinhan was still fishing there.

However, his luck today was much better than yesterday. He caught a book, but it wasn't an enchanted book.

<"Falling Sky Art" (Upper Part): Type: Martial Art. The life's work of a martial arts grandmaster. When cultivated to the extreme, one can shatter the heavens. (Unfortunately, only the upper part exists, unable to even unleash one-tenth of its original power.)>

"This magical fishing rod can actually catch more than just Minecraft items! 'Falling Sky Art' sounds quite impressive."

Fang Xinhan opened the book. Immediately, the "Falling Sky Art" transformed into a stream of light, entering Fang Xinhan's body and disappearing. In his mind, he now possessed the cultivation method of the "Falling Sky Art."

Drawing energy from all things in heaven and earth for one's own cultivation, every move and form of the "Falling Sky Art" contained the power of nature. When cultivated to mastery, it could harness the power of heaven and earth.

The "Falling Sky Art" (Upper Part) was divided into several forms: the first form, Collapsing Mountain; the second form, Splitting Earth; the third form, Shattering Mountains and Rivers; and the fourth form, Treading the Stars.

"It's a shame there's only the upper part. I wonder if I can fish out the lower part."

Fang Xinhan sighed softly and continued fishing. Meanwhile, Yuan Qingchen explained the situation to the Old Town Chief.

"Alas~, Chuckel's house actually has such an evil monster. Never mind, never mind. Do you really want to defeat Chuckel?"

Yuan Qingchen nodded affirmatively.

"The abnormal mist and monsters in this town are all caused by Chuckel. His actions have already harmed many people; we must deal with him."

But then Yuan Qingchen shook his head again.

"But we don't know where he is, and we don't know what will happen once we enter the mist."

Yuan Qingchen's meaning was clear: "Old man, give us some gear, we're going to fight the boss."

The Old Town Chief also understood Yuan Qingchen's words. He immediately returned to the inner room and brought out two lanterns.

"These are lanterns passed down in my family. If you place something with a person's scent inside, the direction the flame points will be that person's direction."

Then the Old Town Chief took out two compasses.

"These compasses will guide you back to the town."

Yuan Qingchen accepted the items from the Old Town Chief.

"I believe with these items, we can definitely find Chuckel. Once we deal with Chuckel, the town will surely return to its original state."

"Foreign Exorcist, on behalf of everyone in the town, I thank you for your efforts."

The Old Town Chief performed a very standard gesture of gratitude and bid farewell to Yuan Qingchen.

However, when Yuan Qingchen looked back, he didn't know if he was seeing things, but for a moment, he thought he saw a strange smile on the Old Town Chief's face, but it was only for an instant.

"A hallucination?"

Yuan Qingchen muttered to himself, but he still went to find Fang Xinhan.

"You mean you saw the Old Town Chief with a strange smile for a moment?"

Fang Xinhan was expressionless, as if he had already guessed it, though Yuan Qingchen couldn't tell because he was wearing a mask.

"Maybe it was my imagination. How could a good person like the Old Town Chief be evil?"

"No, it wasn't an illusion."

Fang Xinhan calmly reeled in his line and cast it out again.

"A person's sixth sense is very strong. Since you feel the Old Town Chief has a problem, then he probably does, to some extent."

Fang Xinhan continued without waiting for Yuan Qingchen to speak.

"The Old Town Chief said his family used to have wizards, so some special tools are reasonable."

But then he changed the subject.

"But this mist has been here for two years. Has no one wanted to investigate the truth behind the mist? Does the Old Town Chief, as a descendant of a wizard, have no way to deal with the monsters at night?"

Yuan Qingchen began to ponder. This dungeon didn't seem as simple as he had imagined. It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating things behind the scenes, and they were merely pawns.

Currently, among all the quests, only the 'kill 10 monsters' quest showed as completed. Fang Xinhan knew that he and Yuan Qingchen could complete the quest with the lowest rating by simply hiding somewhere for four days.

You ask why hide? Nonsense! You already know the Old Town Chief is suspicious, and you're not running? When you really want to run, you might not be able to escape.

"Qingshui, do you want to get a high rating?"

Yuan Qingchen: ???

Before long, Fang Xinhan sorted through the equipment he had fished up and gave Yuan Qingchen a mixed set: a chain helmet, iron chestplate, leather pants, and leather boots.

"You gave me the equipment, what will you wear?"

"Me? I'll be fine with anything."

Then Fang Xinhan was seen with an enchanted diamond helmet, enchanted iron chestplate, enchanted chain leggings, and enchanted Netherite boots.

Yuan Qingchen: 6.

Fang Xinhan didn't charge this time; he planned to let Yuan Qingchen be a guinea pig to test what kind of power Minecraft items could exert in the dungeon game.

(P.S.: Guess if the Old Town Chief is a hidden boss?)
