Chapter 213: Undercurrents, Encounter with a Mysterious Merchant

After experiencing a thrilling challenge, Qin Feng and his companions continued to explore the depths of the ruins. Although they had just experienced a thrilling maze adventure, it now seemed that their luck had not completely run out.

"Hey, I've finally calmed down." Chu Tian took the opportunity to relax. "This adventure was really exciting."

"You're right." Wang Hao nodded, "I think we may need some supplies now."

"Yeah, I'm almost starving." Zhang Meng's stomach protested loudly at this time, "Can we consider finding something to eat?"

"Don't worry," Qin Feng shook his head, "We don't know what we will encounter ahead, so it's better to stay alert."

Just as they continued to move forward, suddenly, a deep voice came from a distance: "Welcome, welcome, distinguished guests."

"Who's there?" Chu Tian looked around vigilantly, his voice full of alertness.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." A figure walked out from the shadows, revealing a mysterious businessman wearing a strange robe. His robe was covered with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, making him look mysterious.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly, "Why are you here?"

"I am a merchant wandering around in this ruin, specializing in providing adventurers with things they need."

"Merchant?" Ye Li asked doubtfully, "How could there be merchants in a place like this?"

"This is not surprising. Haven't you heard of stories about miracles in desperate situations?" the businessman said confidently. "Besides, in places like this, the value of many things is best reflected."

"Then what do you have?" Qin Feng looked at the merchant, "We are in urgent need of some supplies now."

The merchant clapped his hands gently, and a small open table appeared in front of him, covered with a variety of items: from medicines to mysterious scrolls, from rare gems to magical accessories.

"Wow, these things look very interesting." Wang Hao's eyes lit up, "Should we take a look?"

"I suggest that we first understand the functions of these items." Qin Feng said, "After all, the danger we are facing now is still unclear."

The businessman nodded, his smile still mysterious, "No problem, just ask me any questions, I will do my best to answer them."

Chu Tian picked up a flashing scroll and asked, "What is this?"

The merchant smiled and said, "This is the Scroll of Mist. It can create a mist for a short period of time to help you hide your whereabouts. It is very suitable for sneaking before the enemy notices you."

"What about this?" Ye Li pointed at a gem that was emitting a faint light.

"This is the 'Gem of Light'," the merchant explained. "It can provide continuous light in the darkness and dispel the haze around it."

"These all look good." Zhang Meng weighed the bottle of potion in his hand, "What is this potion?"

"This is the 'Rebirth Potion'." The merchant said with a smile, "It can restore most of the physical strength and injuries after being seriously injured. It is very suitable for adventurers."

"It sounds great." Qin Feng nodded, "However, our funds are limited now. Can you give us a discount?"

"Haha, since you are a VIP, of course you can." The businessman smiled proudly, "I can give you a substantial discount, especially for those who are willing to share their stories with me."

"Share a story?" Shadow asked doubtfully, "Do we have time now?"

"Of course." The businessman waved his hand. "If you'd like, I can listen to your adventures."

So, in this strange place, everyone sat around the merchant and began to share their adventure stories. Qin Feng told how they found the remains of the ancient soul master, Ye Li told about their battle experience, and Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also told about their interesting stories.

The businessman listened with great interest, burst into laughter from time to time, and even clapped his hands from time to time. In the end, he was satisfied with their story and gave them a large discount.

"Thank you, businessman." Qin Feng said gratefully, "We are very happy to have your help."

"You're welcome." The businessman smiled, "As long as you can continue to tell good stories, I'm always welcome."

"We will." Ye Li said, "I hope we can complete the next task smoothly."

"Then I wish you good luck." The merchant waved his hand. "Your adventure continues. I hope you can find more miracles."

As the merchant said goodbye, Qin Feng and his companions continued on their way with their newly acquired items. Although they had experienced some bizarre encounters, they were in a good mood and felt an unexpected sense of relief.

"The businessman I met this time was really interesting." Chu Tian said with a smile, "Maybe we will meet such strange people again."

"Indeed." Wang Hao nodded, "However, we still have to remain vigilant and not take it lightly."

"That's right." Qin Feng said, "The road ahead is still long, we must be fully prepared."

As they continue to explore the ruins, the adventure ahead gradually unfolds, new challenges and unknown dangers await them. Despite all the difficulties, Qin Feng and his companions are full of confidence and courage, and firmly move towards the future.

"Let's go, our story has just begun." Qin Feng stood up and led everyone out of the merchant's stall and continued on their journey.
