"Waffle, did you hear that!? They are going on a treasure hunt! We must follow them!" Ocea, thanks to her super hearing, overheard the conversation between the fatty and Mumba, exclaimed, burying her face into Waffle, her big blue eyes almost touching his.

    "All right. all right, I understand. You can also say that from a distance," Waffle pushed Ocea away from him, speaking helplessly.

    "But how are we going in? There are so many people guarding it. They might start attacking us the moment they see us," Ted asked cheerfully, also quite curious to explore this mysterious cave and the treasure hidden within.

    Why does this cave seem familiar? I think I have heard about it somewhere, Myne, standing not far from Waffle and the others, looked at the sealed, mysterious cave with a frown, the sense of deja vu, coming from this place was a bit too obvious to him.

    Bang!

    Whoosh!

    As a random guy moved a big rock from the debris, a small hole finally opened towards the cave. But before he could be happy and scout to give others this good news, a very eerie and terrifying aura suddenly burst out from the hole.

    This caused everyone within a hundred-meter radius to feel every single hair of their stand up, their legs start trembling and sweat dripping from their foreheads. Some of the weak will fall on the ground in fright, and almost pee in their pants.

    "What was that!"

    "It felt like a terrifying monster staring at me..."

    "Boss! Did you feel that?" Mumba asked fearfully, his entire body shaking so much that he could hardly grip his sword.

    "Hahaha... Wh...what are... you talking about... Gulp! I didn''t feel anything?"

    "Then why are your legs trembling? I think you need to talk with this mysterious friend of yours again... Anyway, I am going back. I don''t need this treasure of yours." Saying that Mumba didn''t waste a single second, turned around and walked towards his horse without giving the fatty a chance to speak.

    "Hey! Where are you going? You are my bodyguard. If you run away, who will protect me?" The fatty hurriedly catch after Mumba. As for the rest of the people, they had long ago moved away from the cave, and many of them were so scared they couldn''t stand on their legs.

    "But because of a lack of money, you''ve been hesitant to move to the next stage. I can say with full confidence that your girlfriend definitely wants to have children, right? How long are you going to make her wait? You''re already 30 years old. Things will only get more difficult as time passes. After this mission, believe me, you will have enough money that you will never again have to worry about food and clothing. You can roll around on the bed with your girlfriend for the rest of your life without worrying about anything..."

    "Just this last time," He continued, "believe me. And think about it for a moment. Do I look like someone who doesn''t care about my life? I can also feel that this cave is far from normal, as it appears. But I am prepared, and the source of my confidence is these two big guys."

    The fatty, after a great effort, had successfully fooled his loyal bodyguard into entering the cave with him. Without him, he truly wouldn''t have had the courage to go there alone. After all, there are only a handful of people who are truly loyal to him, and if there is too much treasure in the cave, it is highly possible that the cannon fodder he brought might turn against him because of greed and cut him into pieces. So, for this reason, he didn''t dare to leave any of his trump cards behind.

    "You actually have magic cannons? Where the f*ck did you get those?"

    As the fatty removed the cloth from the two carriage-like objects, Mumba''s eyes widened in shock. He saw two rusty, very old-looking iron cannons with mysterious symbols on top of them, placed on a wooden carriage.

    "Hehehe," The fatty chuckled, very satisfied with Mumba, and his other subordinates'' response.

    "A desperate guy found them in the sea. But because kingdoms near the sea don''t lack those cannons, he thought about selling them here for a better price. But sadly, he came to our auction house to sell them without inquiring about it. And I snatched them from him and fed him to my dog."

    "You should have watched his face. Even until his death, he didn''t realize why I killed him. What a fool! He had no idea about those cannons'' value in our area. Here, even the royal family doesn''t have enough cannons, let alone a random low-level gang like ours. How could I let him go and spread the news that we have cannons? It''s the same as a child holding a golden brick! A treasure in the hand of a commoner is an absolute crime, I am very well aware of this fact."

    "I tested their power, and they have no problem killing a B-level monster in a single shot from 200 meters. But the only pain in the ass is that they consume too much power. Each shot needs a C-rank or above monster core, and the more powerful the core, the greater the power those cannons will demonstrate."

    The fatty complained as he picked up an iron ball and put it into the mouth of the cannon. Then, he took out a blue crystal the size of his finger and put it into the slot at the back of the cannon, before gesturing to one of his men to adjust the mouth of the cannon at the cave entrance.

    "You are really rich," Mumba commented with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "A C-rank monster core is worth more than 10 gold coins, it is literally burning money... I see, so this is why you''re urging everyone in the gang to go out and hunt monsters and bring their cores recently," Mumba, who was also quite excited to see the power of the magic cannons as well, quickly walked away with the fatty and closed his ears.

    With the final permission of the fatty, the cannon operator locked the wheels of the carriage, lowered the back support pillar, and after pressing the start button, he quickly jumped aside.

    BOOM!
