Although it is described as light yellow black beetle amber, that is actually just a description based on its appearance.
Compared to amber, which is not very hard to begin with, this black beetle amber is even softer to the touch.
Just like the outer layer of amber is just a thin film encasing the liquid inside.
When you gently scratch this thin film with your fingernail, the light yellow, semi-solidified liquid inside will pour out.
The black beetle that was "sealed" inside will also grow from a larva and regain its life.
Yes, though I couldn't hear any heartbeat coming from the amber in front of me.
Everyone present could sense that some kind of nascent life was being conceived within it.
After picking up this relic left by Serena, Gu Xinghe accepted it without hesitation.
Seeing this, Cheng Li and Chu Liang no longer harbored any covetous thoughts.
Rather, the greatest nightmare is to carry it and try to use its power without having sufficient ability.
At this moment, with the passing of Serena, the house where Gu Xinghe and the other two were located also began to "explode".
As mentioned before, this house is a real-world projection of Selena's swarm power.
Therefore, at this moment, after Serena, as the main body, disappeared, she was further impacted by the intense internal explosion.
The house, which resembled a glass marble, developed cracks from the inside out, which then spread until it shattered completely.
There was no loud noise or vibration.
Gu Xinghe and the other two had already seen the house in front of them turn into countless fragments and powder.
These swirling black powders looked like a black snowfall.
Seeing this, the three of them left together.
Once they stepped outside the original boundaries of the house and into the town, they discovered that the scene there was far more dramatic.
At this moment, the Crimson Jade Spider, which had been working around the clock for a long time, also appeared in front of Gu Xinghe.
Having not seen each other for a long time, it happily crawled towards Gu Xinghe and then quickly climbed onto his shoulder.
Then it used its segmented limbs to tug at Gu Xinghe's clothes and rubbed against his neck, refusing to leave.
Previously in Wheat Field Town, all the houses in the town could actually be considered as small insect nests.
But now, after the red spider's hunting and web-weaving activities over this period of time...
In that previous battle, the town has now become a spider's lair.
What can be seen is that the town, which was already sparsely populated, is now even more desolate.
This is because the town's residents were originally only affected by the insect swarm.
Ultimately, however, they were under Serena's strong control and were subtly influenced by her.
Completely corrupted, it underwent a transformation from human to insect, and was subsequently devoured by the red spider that received Gu Xinghe's instructions.
At this moment, because everyone was transformed into insects and then quickly devoured, a town that was deserted overnight was born.
Looking at the black fog that shrouded the entire town.
And the white spider silk woven by the red jade spider, which can be seen everywhere in the town.
This place looks like a town that has been abandoned for a long time.
However, perhaps only the food that has been prepared on the dining table, or the books that have been half-read but have fallen to the ground.
Only then can people know that this is a misty town that lost all its residents overnight.
At this moment, the town of Wheat Field has completely transformed into a spider's nest shrouded in black mist and spider webs.
At that moment, the long-absent notification sound from the game system rang in Gu Xinghe's ears—
Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon - Crop Circles!
[Dungeon rewards are being settled]
Main Quest: 1/1
Side Quest: 1/1
[Quest completion rewards: Wheat Field Town Food Gift Pack, Black Worm - Birth Egg (Replica)]
Players can claim the main quest completion rewards themselves.
This is unlike any other instance we've encountered before.
Perhaps it's because there are no living people left in the entire town.
No one was able to pay Gu Xinghe and the others for their work as detectives in uncovering the truth of the matter.
Therefore, the prompt given by the game system now.
They were instead left to search for suitable rewards in the town as part of their main quest.
Therefore, even though it has been some time since Gu Xinghe and his two companions cleared this dungeon.
The game system did not immediately teleport them away, as they had not yet received their rewards.
It was clear that they were being very considerate and would wait until Gu Xinghe and the others had obtained the predetermined rewards before teleporting them away.
Has the reward for main quests really "sunken" to the point where players have to obtain it themselves?
With that thought in mind, Gu Xinghe, Chu Liang, and Cheng Li walked towards the town's grain reserve warehouse.
Fortunately, they already knew the location of the town's granary during their previous investigation.
Now, in this empty city, obtaining these supplies on one's own is practically effortless.
In fact, apart from the residential address rewarded by the main quest in the beginner dungeon, which is actively provided and distributed by the game system.
The main quest rewards in the subsequent game instances are actually provided by people in the instance's location or the location where the event takes place.
For example, the wine that Gu Xinghe once obtained in the Tavern of Misfortune.
However, if the main quest rewards in the dungeon are provided by the native inhabitants of this world...
