Chapter 18 After Arriving at the Tavern

After arriving at the tavern, I didn't see Aunt Hill麗雅. After asking the monster girl, Xiao Na, I learned that my aunt was still at the Tree of Life. I didn't plan to look for her there. I told the monster girl, Xiao Na, to send someone to clean up the beach, and then I prepared to return to the treehouse.

Lynn ate the food he had just picked from the Gourmet Forest and slowly walked back to the treehouse. Perhaps it was due to the side effects, but Lynn only took sweets.

Back at the treehouse, he placed the unfinished sweets on the table. Lynn looked at the sky. Although it was getting dark, he still planned to use up his excavation attempts for the day.

After putting away the home, Lynn took out his pickaxe and prepared to set off. His current target was treasure chests. He would deal with other things as they came up, and he would try to finish digging before midnight.

After asking the stone walls one more time, Lynn spread his wings and flew up. There was a treasure chest and a few guardian beasts in the upper dungeon.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Lynn flew towards the treasure chest. He was very fast, and the guardian beasts were beheaded before they could react.

He disassembled the ferocious beasts, opened the gold treasure chest, and obtained an ordinary building blueprint and a mage's class skill book.

After putting them away, he continued on his way.

Every time there was a treasure chest in a dungeon, Lynn would go straight for the treasure chest before dealing with anything else. In less than three hours, he had excavated seven or eight dungeons.

Lynn had just finished opening the treasure chest in front of him and glanced at his excavation attempts. He found that he had two left, and it was only 9 o'clock. With enough time, there was no need to rush.

Although he wasn't in a hurry, Lynn still planned to finish within half an hour. He wanted to finish digging early and take a shower. For some reason, he didn't feel comfortable if he didn't shower now.

Lynn: "Hey, stone walls, which of you has a treasure chest behind you?"

Lower stone wall: "The insect swarm is rustling, making me itchy."

Upper stone wall: "You secretly evolved a sense of feeling without telling us? You can even feel itchy?"

Lower stone wall: "....... This is just a metaphor, do you understand metaphors? It means there are a lot of insects here."

Lynn: "Can't you just say there are a lot of insects?"

Upper stone wall: "Exactly. By the way, there's no treasure chest above me."

East stone wall: "There's nothing behind me either."

West stone wall: "Nothing."

North stone wall: "I have a silver treasure chest here."

South stone wall: "I have a treasure chest here too, but something feels wrong. Just now, that treasure chest... it moved?"

A moving treasure chest? Could it be a treasure chest monster? Lynn wondered to himself.

He would know soon enough after going over there. Lynn walked directly to the south.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Lynn followed the stone wall's guidance and arrived near the treasure chest monster.

Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, there was no doubt that it was the treasure chest monster. It even looked like an extraordinary treasure chest. This was only the second time Lynn had seen a treasure chest monster, and he curiously identified it.

Name: Extraordinary Treasure Chest Monster (Tier 6)

Category: Special Ferocious Beast

Constitution: 1102

Strength: 1053

Agility: 888

Spirit: 1010

Skills: Gnaw, Quick Charge, Disguise, Bag of Holding

(No one knows the origin of the treasure chest monster, but the harvest from one treasure chest monster is comparable to two treasure chests.)

I didn't expect it to be a Tier 6 treasure chest monster. That's a bit unexpected.

Now that he knew its details, Lynn walked towards the treasure chest monster. The treasure chest monster, which had been wide awake, immediately closed its eyes when it saw him approaching.

Lynn pretended and shouted, "Wow, a treasure chest! I wonder what's inside?"

As he shouted, he walked behind the treasure chest monster. When he reached behind it, Lynn used Moonlight and activated C残月 (Cán Yuè - Waning Moon) and slashed down. He had tried Crescent Moon, Full Moon, and Waning Moon, and Waning Moon's penetration was the strongest.

With one Waning Moon strike, the treasure chest monster, which had no defenses, was directly split in half, and a pile of things exploded out.

??? That's strange. I remember the last treasure chest monster didn't drop anything, did it? Hmm~ Could it be that skill, Bag of Holding?

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Lynn picked up the items one by one and took a look. Sure enough, it was comparable to two treasure chests: two Tier 5 weapons and some materials.

He had picked up all the dropped items. I wonder what he could get from disassembling it? Lynn pointed at the treasure chest monster's corpse and directly chose Disassemble.

[System: Bag of Holding *1]

[System: Orb *1]

Huh? He disassembled the treasure chest monster's skill? Last time, he seemed to have disassembled Disguise as well. Although he didn't know why the treasure chest monster could disguise itself, it seemed that disassembling treasure chest monsters could grant one of their skills? He would know for sure next time he encountered one.

Name: Bag of Holding (Special, Rare)

Category: Skill

Effect: Treasure Gathering

(Very few treasure chest monsters have the Bag of Holding ability. Using it will grant a treasure.)

Name: Orb (Special, Rare)

Category: Item

Effect: Can turn a treasure chest into a treasure chest monster

(It's best to take the items out of the treasure chest before using it. Don't expect the items to still be there after you kill the treasure chest monster.)

Lynn looked at the orb. This thing could turn a treasure chest into a treasure chest monster? Unfortunately, he only had one Mist Treasure Chest. He would try it later when he had more treasure chests.

He learned the skill and used it directly. Huh? A black hole appeared in front of him. He reached his hand in, and it felt like he was in water.

Lynn was confused. A small hand seemed to touch something. There seemed to be something there. The small hand grabbed randomly and seemed to have grabbed something.

Lynn pulled his hand back. As soon as his hand left the black hole, the black hole disappeared.

Lynn looked at the item in his hand and complained, "The effect of this skill is a little different from what I imagined." He wondered how the treasure chest monster grabbed things. They didn't seem to have hands, did they?

But I like this feeling of grabbing a mystery box.

He put away the Tier 4 item he grabbed. He had one attempt left, and then it would be gone.

For the last time, Lynn decided to dig randomly. He picked up a branch from the ground, threw it, and looked. Okay, west it is.

Lynn walked straight to the west, arrived at the stone wall, dug it open, and went inside.

Let's see if there's a treasure chest.

.....

Oh~~ oh my~~~~~

Huh? What's that sound? Lynn wondered.

At this time, several voices came over.

Oh~ oh~~ ha~ ha~~

What the hell? Lynn walked towards the direction of the sound with a dark expression, complaining as he walked, "Don't tell me there are people in my last dungeon?"

And it sounds like there's more than one person? The voices are also strange, as if they've been... terrible."

Following the sound all the way, Lynn finally saw a meadow after passing through a patch of grass taller than himself. And there was a group of people on the meadow. The sound was coming from them.

Lynn looked over angrily, "Holy crap~ Damn it, that's an eyesore. How could it be some kind of 牛马组会 (Niú Mǎ Zǔ Huì - roughly translated to 'Cattle and Horse Assembly', a slang term for something absurd and outrageous)!"
