Kane had seen this item before. The last time he encountered the Black Mist Organization, this was among the evidence items. It's said they used this to blow up the dungeon.

This thing can't be identified for any information, except it feels like a high-energy item, with no other suspicious findings.

After gathering all the still-intact equipment together.

Kane said to Funa and the others, "You guys go ahead and pick. Take whatever you think you can use."

For Kane and his team, these pieces of equipment were useless except for storage or sale.

Knowing the strength of Kane and his team, Funa and the others didn't hold back and started selecting from the equipment.

Kane occasionally identified items for them on the side.

They distributed the remaining intact loot.

The rest were the weapons and equipment destroyed by Kane and his team.

It's quite a pity to throw those away.

Kane thought about it and inserted the Golden Cauldron into his skill grid.

Then he threw all the damaged weapons and equipment into the Golden Cauldron, refining them into one piece of raw material after another.

He inexplicably discovered the usefulness of the Golden Cauldron.

If he stops being an Explorer, he could still make a fortune collecting junk.

While Kane and his team shared the loot on the carriage.

The vehicle had already reached outside the safe zone.

Kane and his team got out and walked through the forest path to the reception hall, just in the early afternoon.

The two teams first delivered their respective mission targets, then picked up new job requests.

Kane didn't open the parchment but said to the receptionist lady.

"We took out some Black Mist Organization members in this dungeon. Could you notify the council for us?"

Kane's words puzzled the receptionist lady a bit.

"Black, Black Mist?"

"Are you sure, sir? If it's just a joke, the council might penalize you when they arrive."

"Don't worry, I'm sure. It's not my first encounter with them."

Hearing Kane's words, the receptionist nodded: "Please return to your rooms and rest for now. I'll send word up, and the council people should be here soon."

Hearing the receptionist's words, Kane nodded and then led Kreya and the others back to their room.

Parting ways with Funa and the others, Kane told them to come over after tidying up since they all faced the Black Mist together and deserved a share of the credit.

After returning to the hotel room, Kane and company had just cleaned up and showered when they heard a knock on the door as Funa and the others arrived.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Kane here? We are from the council."

Hearing the voice outside the door, Kane got up to open it.

Standing outside were a man and a woman, both human, wearing the Mist Council uniforms.

"Captain Kane, I've heard much about you. I'm Lu Keqi, and this is my assistant."

"Hello, my name is Emma."

Kane nodded, shook hands with them, and invited them inside.

Seeing Kreya and the others, they nodded at each one to get acquainted.

"Captain Kane, we heard you retained the bodies. Can we check them?"

Hearing this, Kane nodded, then dragged out two corpses from his storage-type space equipment and laid them on the floor.

The two bodies still emanated a rather fresh bloody smell, without the typical putrid stench of corpses.

Being Silver-level Explorers, the bodies' attributes were extremely resilient, and it takes a long time for them to rot.

As Lu Keqi saw the birdmen, he was almost certain.

"Ah, it's those birdmen again," Emma couldn't help but comment.

"Is there a problem with this race?" Kane asked, unable to help himself after hearing her words.

"Yes, these birdmen are known as Celestial Dogs and are almost a cornerstone race for the Black Mist Organization; nearly two-thirds of their population is part of the organization. They are rumored to be among the founders of the Black Mist."

Hearing Lu Keqi's explanation, Kane nodded. No wonder he encountered these birdmen both times with the Black Mist.

Yet, despite this, Lu Keqi still took out some equipment to start examining the white birdman's body, including the blood and feathers.

Speaking about it, Kane never learned these people's names, as it seemed to be the case every time he encountered them.

Oh well, what's the point of remembering trash names.

After inspecting them, Lu Keqi nodded: "These are indeed Black Mist Organization members. Do you have more bodies?"

After putting the two cadavers into his space equipment, Lu Keqi inquired Kane.

Subsequently, Kane took out all the bodies from his space equipment.

Seeing so many bodies, Lu Keqi couldn't help but remark, "So many, truly deserving of the Fog Squad name."

"No, it wasn't just us; they were with us too." Kane finished and pointed to Funa and her team next to him.

Lu Keqi nodded after hearing this and wrote it down.

"Now, Captain Kane, could you tell us about the entire process from when you encountered them to when you subdued them?"

"No problem."

Then Kane sat on the sofa and began detailing the whole story of their encounter and defeat of the Black Mist explorers.

Finally, Kane also handed over the two crystals to Lu Keqi.

Inspecting the crystals Kane handed over, Lu Keqi said, "Those things again, they can't possibly intend to blow up this dungeon, can they? That would be stupid. Effective in other dungeons, but here..."

After speaking, he shook his head disdainfully, as if mocking the Black Mist explorers' thinking.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door.

Kane instinctively opened his Eagle Eye to check.

Holy shit.

Outside the door stood a human-shaped magic power reaction emitting five-colored light, nearly blinding Kane's eyes.

Five-colored!

This was the strongest figure Kane had seen with his Eagle Eye.

With the five colors, combined with the current location in this dungeon, Kane could almost ascertain who was outside the door.

Undoubtedly, it was the master of this dungeon.

Kane straightened up, quickly opened the door.

Upon opening it, a middle-aged human man appeared.

With fine white skin and a rounded body, sporting a noticeable beer belly, dressed head-to-toe in white chef's attire.

Looking at Kane with a friendly smile.

"Young man, pardon my uninvited visit."

"Not at all, please come in!" Kane immediately stepped aside and said.

Inside, Lu Keqi, still looking towards the door, widened his eyes in shock, then quickly stood up.

Approaching the man, he immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle, saying, "Master Bagri, how come you're here?"

With his beer belly, Bagri still sported a friendly smile, patting Lu Keqi on the shoulder: "No need to be so tense, don't call me master, just call me president. I prefer that title."

He explained to Kane's side, saying, "What I'm proudest of is establishing the Food Guild, you see."

By his friendly demeanor, it was hard to associate him with a five-colored powerhouse.

He strolled over to the pile of bodies, glancing at them.

"These guys are truly troublesome, like cockroaches, never-ending."
