Chapter 391 Weird Businessman

"Oh, this forest is really unpredictable." Chu Tian stretched as he walked. "When the lake surface was churning just now, I thought I was going to become the dinner of the water ghosts."

"Don't mention it." Ye Li pinched her stiff shoulders, "I feel like a frozen fish just taken out of the refrigerator."

"I don't feel anything. Anyway, Lao Zhang's giant axe smashed the water ghost's bone spear into broken wooden strips." Zhang Meng grinned, looking quite confident.

"Haha, Lao Zhang's axe is really powerful." Qin Feng couldn't help laughing, "Well, let's move forward quickly. After all, there are more adventures waiting for us ahead."

After walking for a while, they found that the road ahead was blocked by a colorful cloth strip and decorations. The cloth strip was full of all kinds of strange objects, such as weird ornaments, all kinds of strange symbols, and a tattered flag with the words "Wonderful Shop, Don't Miss It If You Pass By!"

"What the hell is this place?" Zhang Meng squinted his eyes and looked at the strange decorations. "It looks like a store, but why are the strips of cloth hung in such a mess?"

"Store? This place is quite interesting." Chu Tian also came forward, his eyes flashing with curiosity, "How about we go and take a look?"

"Since there is no other choice, why not go and take a look." Qin Feng nodded and led everyone carefully towards the decoration area.

As they approached, a small businessman in fancy clothes suddenly jumped out from behind the cloth strip, smiling with a proud arc at the corner of his mouth: "Haha! Welcome to the 'Wonderful Shop'! Your arrival is really a godsend!"

"Wow, this businessman is really dressed up colorfully." Ye Li looked at the businessman's clothes and couldn't help laughing, "It looks like he just came back from a Halloween party."

"Hello everyone, I'm the owner of this store, the wonderful merchant Renault!" Renault introduced proudly, "Here, you can find all kinds of strange and magical items, and my favorite, absolutely unbeatable discounts!"

"Discount? Sounds good." Qin Feng asked curiously, "Then may I ask if you have anything special here?"

Renault blinked his eyes and smiled mysteriously: "Haha, of course! Look at my treasures!" He waved his hand, and a huge stall suddenly opened up behind the cloth, filled with all kinds of strange items, including shiny gems, strange-shaped utensils, and some magic potions that made people grin.

"Oh, these things look really dazzling." Zhang Meng's eyes widened, "Why do I feel that the colors of these potions are like a rainbow?"

"That's because each potion has its own unique effect." Renault said proudly, "For example, this bottle of 'Lucky Potion', after drinking it, your luck will definitely not be too bad. And this bottle of 'Transformation Potion', after drinking it, you can temporarily transform into any animal. However, the side effect is that you might turn into the animal you hate the most!"

"Haha, this potion is interesting." Chu Tian laughed, "But do we really need these things?"

Renault shook his head: "That's not necessarily true, but some strange things can often bring you unexpected help at critical moments. For example, this 'Lost Crystal' can help you find the right direction when you are lost."

"This is quite useful." Qin Feng nodded, "Okay, let's take a look at these things and see if there is anything we need now."

Merchant Renault happily took them to visit the stalls and introduced various strange items from time to time. Qin Feng and his partners picked and chose, and found that although these things looked strange, they had some potential uses.

"Hey, what is this 'weird scroll'?" Ye Li asked curiously, pointing to a scroll covered with mysterious runes.

Renault smiled and said, "Oh, this scroll is very interesting. It can randomly summon a mysterious creature to help you solve certain problems. However, the summoned creature may be something you never expected, such as a kitten or a giant lizard!"

"Haha, this is really interesting." Chu Tian laughed, "However, we don't need these things now, so let's take a look at other things first."

Just as they were about to leave, Renault suddenly took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng mysteriously: "By the way, this thing is my most precious treasure. It can play a powerful role in certain situations. However, you need to solve a puzzle before using it."

"Puzzle? What is that?" Qin Feng took the box and saw a strange lock on it.

Renault smiled mysteriously: "This puzzle is very simple. As long as you can solve it, you can get the treasure in the box. I promise, it's definitely worth it!"

"Okay, let's try it." Qin Feng nodded, picked up the box, and carefully observed the puzzle locked on it.

There were some strange symbols engraved on the lock of the puzzle, as well as a few words that looked like riddles. Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let me try. This puzzle doesn't look complicated, we just need to solve it with our heart."

"Let's use our brains together." Ye Li encouraged.

They studied the puzzle carefully, discussing their ideas from time to time. Finally, after some thinking, Qin Feng finally found the answer: "The answer to the puzzle is 'time'!"

"Time?" Renault looked at Qin Feng in surprise. "Yes, the answer is time. You are really smart. Next, you can open this box."

Qin Feng opened the box carefully and found a gleaming gem inside, emitting a faint light.

"What is this?" Chu Tian asked curiously.

Renault smiled and said, "This gem is called the Heart of Time. It can distort time at critical moments and help you avoid some fatal crises. However, it can only be used a limited number of times, so please use it with caution."

"I see. Thank you for your gift." Qin Feng said gratefully, "We will definitely make good use of it."

When Renault saw them accept the gems, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Haha, it seems that you are ready to move on. I wish you good luck and hope your adventure goes smoothly."

"Thank you, Mr. Renault." Ye Li said with a smile, "We will remember your help."

Qin Feng and his companions said goodbye to Renault and continued walking towards the road ahead. After walking for a while, they looked back and found that Renault's store had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"This store is really mysterious." Zhang Meng said with emotion, "But the things Renault sent just now are really good."

"Yes, with the 'Heart of Time', we can cope with more challenges at critical moments." Qin Feng nodded, "However, we still have to remain vigilant at all times, after all, the adventure ahead has just begun."

As they continued to move forward, the scenery of the forest became more charming, the sun shone through the treetops and the birds chirped one after another. Qin Feng and his companions felt a relaxed atmosphere, but they knew that there would still be more challenges and adventures waiting for them ahead.

"What will we encounter at the next stop?" Chu Tian asked excitedly.

"No matter what we encounter, we will face it together." Ye Li replied with a smile.

"Yes, our adventure is far from over!" Zhang Meng shouted loudly.
