While Igor and Kadi were listening to another story from Guzan in the Stone House, a significant event was unfolding at the foot of Guru Mountain. This event was worthy of being recorded in the Local Chronicle of Gaga County.
The once-bustling taverns at the foot of Guru Mountain were now eerily silent. The Treasure Hunters, who should have been drinking themselves into oblivion, had instead flocked to the road outside.
These Treasure Hunters kept slapping their own faces; a continuous SLAP! SLAP! echoed along both sides of the road. They looked as if they had lost their minds, repeatedly striking their cheeks. Those who understood could see at a glance that these Treasure Hunters were desperately trying to stay awake. Their reasons were straightforward: some were attempting to sober up, while others were trying to determine if they were caught in a dream.
They resorted to this because the scene before them was simply too bizarre!
