We can consider this a preliminary agreement.
Although there was still some wariness, at least there was no longer any hostility. There were also defensive spells prepared in advance, so there was no need to worry about that seemingly straightforward guy playing any tricks.
Relieved, I looked at Sheng, whose eyes had become sparkling, and untied the straight sword from behind my waist, tossing it to the man—the magic power I had was still very precious and couldn't be used to build a stable personal rift for the time being, which was a bit of a pity.
I reached out and steadily took the sword, pushed open the hilt to confirm its authenticity, and the man gazed at me again with deep eyes before turning and walking towards the exhibition hall not far away.
"Didn't you say we wouldn't get in each other's way?" I questioned loudly.
Sword Demon paused, tilted his head slightly, and replied in a muffled voice, "But I never said I would let go of the reward in front of me."
What difference does it make? The main purpose of conquering dungeons is to get the rewards!
“His goals are different from ours, so there’s no need to worry.”
Sheng, who was more familiar with the Sword Demon, offered a soft explanation from behind, and then urged, "After all, this is a hidden dungeon that is quite difficult for people nowadays. If we can borrow his help, the subsequent path to conquering it might become much easier. Why don't we hurry up and go in?"
That makes sense.
But we're still unwilling to let the potential reward be taken away, so we must keep a close eye on the reward thief's actions to prevent our target from being taken as well.
Thinking this, he followed behind the others and quickly pushed open the door to enter the exhibition hall.
The previously impenetrable exhibition hall doors opened with remarkable ease, as if the invisible barrier had never existed.
The welcoming wind chimes hanging on the door swayed back and forth, their crisp sound echoing in the empty room, but unexpectedly, they didn't sound pleasant; instead, they gave off a somewhat eerie and terrifying feeling.
Just then, the long-awaited notification window appeared before everyone's eyes.
