Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 169
Advertisement
There were many techniques for making runes.
There were more than thirty types recorded in a single scroll.
Therefore, after studying, it took a few minutes to digest them.
All the usable materials in the catacomb had been removed.
Even the houses had been demolished.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed.
After leaving the Revenant Corpses' catacomb, Klein dug two catacombs consecutively and obtained an iron treasure chest and a silver treasure chest.
A Low-Grade Runic Base Upgrade Scroll was more expensive.
The rest were small items that weren't as valuable as speaking.
Number of excavations for the day remaining: 2
At this moment, Klein had just finished searching the 90th catacomb.
He simply modified the map's Crystal Ball record.
He checked five directions.
[Dig down. There's a Minion in the catacomb. Be careful of the Minion's tricks.]
[In the catacomb above, there's a lot of lava. If you dive down, you'll find some rare materials.]
[Dig forward. There's a Crystal Treasure Chest that will enter the territory of the Greenwood Monster. They welcome any outsiders. You must show off your muscles when necessary.]
[Dig backward. There are two Silver Treasure Chests. A Copper Encounter Snake is sleeping soundly. It secretly took a detour.]
"Another crystal treasure chest?"
Klein couldn't help but mutter.
His luck in the afternoon seemed to be pretty good!
"I hope I can get more good items."
Klein extended his shovel and dug a tunnel.
At the same time, he checked the information on the Greenwood Monster.
..
[Greenwood Monster: A spiritual monster that came from Greenwood Fireworks. Its skin is embedded in the greenwood bark, and it is good at controlling plants. Its temperament is changeable. Once it dies, the essence in its body will scatter in all directions and become a seed, quietly waiting to be reborn.]
[Ability: Spring After Withering Wood]
[Weakness: Fear of high-temperature flames.]

[Danger Factor: 68]
Check the ability.
[Spring After Withering Wood: After the main body dies, it will turn into a seed. When the spring breeze blows, it can be reborn and return.]
..,
There's something wrong
Klein had a nagging feeling that something wasn't right.
Looking at the hint, it seemed like a friendly race that welcomed any outsider.
However, the danger factor was higher.
"However, since they're afraid of fire, it doesn't matter."
Klein's Golden Firestorm Saber and fire elemental missiles were all high-temperature flames.
If the Greenwood Monster dared to act rashly, he would burn everything in one go!
With a sullen face, he dug a tunnel.
Then, he stepped in.
Everywhere he looked was filled with greenery.
It was like a fairyland on Earth.
Klein instantly fell into a daze when he appeared.
The catacomb wasn't very big. It was about sixty to seventy meters long.
There were plants everywhere.
Some of them were medicinal ingredients that Klein needed.
"I hope there won't be any conflict. Otherwise, a fire might burn off more than half of the plants."
A notification appeared.
[There are dozens of figures ahead. There's movement!]
Soon, Klein saw these figures.
Some of them were already looking outside.
Some of them heard their clansmen calling and walked out from the special materials made of vines.
They were like shrunken treemen with a green appearance.
They were dressed in clothes made of plants that covered them from top to bottom.
They had arms and five fingers.
There were sacs protruding from their backs.
All of them were indifferent to the diffraction.
"Here at the National Treasury, you came to our Greenwood Tribe to spectate?"
One of the members came forward and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
He was the tallest of the Greenwood Monsters, about 1.7 meters.
He slowly walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Hello."
Klein nodded slightly.

For some reason, the Greenwood Monster's smile was a little fake.
It wasn't an exaggeration to describe it as a fake smile.
The Greenwood Monster smiled and said, "Although you are just passing by, according to the customs of our Greenwood Tribe, you are all guests. Come this way, please. We are willing to use the best route and food to entertain our distinguished guests."
The Greenwood Monster gestured for Klein to enter the tribe.
"Thank you."
Klein thought for a moment before following up.
The Greenwood Monster smiled and said, "Do you have any companions? I know that some passers-by often send their vanguards down to the catacomb to check. Only when there's no danger will they go back to inform them."
"They don't have any companions."
"Oh? That's good."
"Oh?"
"Hahaha, I'm afraid that the Greenwood Tribe doesn't have enough food and dew. If there's enough, we'll trade with passers-by. Half of the passers-by will exchange something from us."
The Greenwood Monster stopped in its tracks and turned around to stare at Klein.
Klein smiled and said, "It depends on what items you have to trade. I can barely be considered a merchant."
"Is that so? We like merchants the most."
The Greenwood Monster laughed strangely.
"That's because merchants can bring us a large number of items."
"Are you guys ready to make a move?" Klein said nonchalantly.
He saw that the hint on the Greenwood Monster's head had changed.
[The Greenwood Monster's killing intent has been determined. You must be careful.]
It wasn't like that in the beginning.
Only when it found out that Klein didn't have any other companions did the situation change.
Its temperament changed drastically.
The Greenwood Monster didn't waste any more words as they all took action.
Countless vines danced in the sky.
On the ground, the grass grew crazily as they swept towards Klein.
In an instant, Klein and his two pets seemed to be in a predicament.
The Greenwood Monster's overall plan...
They stood outside and laughed wantonly, believing that they had everything under control.
Suddenly, the layers of wrapping revealed waves of high temperature.
The Greenwood Monster's smile froze.
Boom!
The saber flashed past the flames and shattered the vines and grass.
Klein held the wind and fire saber in his hand, his eyes burning like torches.
"I originally took pity on the scenery here, but since that's the case, I'll burn it all."
In the blink of an eye.
Balls of flames instantly spread out.
One by one, the Greenwood Monsters were hit and turned into ashes.
"Kill!"
The Greenwood Monsters weren't afraid of death. The flames rushed forward to kill, and the flames controlled the plants from afar.
Klein threw out a flame pattern.
Everywhere it touched, it ignited.
A batch of Greenwood Monsters approached.
The Fire Ring was activated.
This was also fire!
All the enemies were sent flying.
The fire became more and more intense.
When the Greenwood Monsters came into contact with high-temperature flames, they would look for them at a single touch. They could only control the plants to fight against the flames.
As a result, they had no time to attack.
Klein seized the opportunity and used all his strength in one go.
He killed them all.
From time to time, a Greenwood Monster would fall.
The Greenwood Monster wouldn't turn into a corpse. Its body would gather into green spots of light.
It would either land on the ground or float in the air.
The last Greenwood Monster would also fall to the ground under the bombardment.
Klein floated in the air.
He looked at the sea of fire.
He muttered, "It's a pity that such a glorious scene was destroyed."

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
