Blood Luminous Sand had some medicinal effect and was an ingredient in vision-enhancing potions.
Bai Ye's eyes gleamed with interest.
Though seeming like "junk," it could be valuable if he found the right recipe.
In a dark world, improved vision potions would sell well.
Sadly, he had no recipe now but kept the sand for later.
He cautiously descended the stairs.
Bat sounds grew louder.
He stayed alert, sometimes dodging instead of fighting, waiting to unleash flame on large groups.
Collecting a lot of Blood Luminous Sand along the way.
About fifteen minutes later, he reached a dim corridor — the next level.
He wasn't sure how many levels the pyramid had but expected more treasures and traps.
Cautiously, he sent an Arcane Missile Spell forward to check for traps, then proceeded.
Stepping out, the floor gave way slightly.

A bad feeling.
Then a huge boulder rolled toward him fast with terrifying force.

[Description: A lantern containing a flame of hope, burning endlessly. Its light dispels darkness, increasing visibility by 3 meters. It can also attract wanderers in Land of Darkness, guiding them to your side.]
"Hope Lantern?"
"Holy crap, that effect is strong!"
Bai Ye's eyes widened.
His old Dispel Lantern increased visibility by only 1 meter.
The new Hope Lantern tripled that range.
More importantly, it attracted wanderers — those rare skilled survivors who could aid him.
A Shelter thrived on wanderers with skills like brewing, forging, tailoring.
