My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 283 - 170: Your Name Is Medusa? Die! (Part 2)
He operated in multithreading mode, and practically every minute, the Trait Points were skyrocketing.
The Biological Illustrated Guide was getting more and more comprehensive.
Occasionally, new excellent Traits appeared.
...
On the other side.
The group from Senior Class 3-4 finally saw the torrential river after crossing a mountain.
Everyone showed joyful smiles, and the nerves that had been tense and the hearts that had been hanging also relaxed.
Everyone felt much lighter, and the previously heavy and oppressive atmosphere of the team was now filled with more conversations; you could even hear laughter amid hardship.
"Hoo~ We're here; we're almost at the safe zone."
"It looks close, but it'll still take twenty minutes to get to the river."
"I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired. Can we rest for a bit?"
"It's too tough, I've never walked such a long and rugged mountain path before; my feet are blistered."
...
Everyone was complaining incessantly.
In Senior Class 3-4, aside from Lu Xun and two exchange students, the other students were from elite families, and climbing mountains for two hours was torturous for them!
They had never suffered like this before.
A two-hour mountain trek was indeed torturous for ordinary people.
Luckily, they were in a desperate situation with high survival pressure, and adrenaline kept surging; otherwise, they would've collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
However, right now, many were already at their limits, severely exhausted, struggling to move.
Seeing this, the team leader Wei'Er furrowed her elegant brows slightly.
She glanced at Wuer, then Lu Xun, seeking the opinion of these professionals: "Lu Xun, Da Gu, what do you think?"
"I'm okay." Lu Xun wiped his sweat in an exaggerated manner, panting, "Although I'm a bit tired, I can hold on. Resting or not is fine."
"Lu, you're really in good shape." Wei'Er blinked her beautiful eyes, praising him, "As an ordinary human, your stamina is already impressive."
She then looked at Wuer with an inquisitive gaze.
Wuer shrugged helplessly and said, "Although we can use magic to help dozens of people travel, I suggest saving the magic power for unexpected crises that might arise at any time. Especially you, Wei'Er, with how many times you've used Purification Magic, your magic power is almost depleted."
There were only the two of them as combat members in this team.
If their magic power was exhausted, the team would completely lose its risk resistance capability.
"Got it, I understand." Wei'Er nodded seriously, "Let's be prudent; we'll rest for ten minutes and then descend."
She stopped and turned around to relay the plan.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
The students' legs gave out, and they lay on the ground disregarding appearances, taking deep breaths to restore their stamina.
Pain!
Not just foot pain, but all their muscles felt sore, stabbing.
This rugged mountain path was incredibly hard to traverse; anyone who tried would know.
Running a kilometer on flat ground was less taxing than running two hundred meters on this mountain path.
Everyone felt their legs were no longer theirs.
"Hey? Old Chen, look over there!" Suddenly, a boy tugged at his buddy's arm and pointed to a corner on the right, asking, "Is that... a treasure chest? Am I seeing things?"
"Where? Where?"
His buddy quickly turned his head and then widened his eyes, exclaiming, "Whoa, it really is a treasure chest!"
The sound spread, and those around heard it, turning their gaze in that direction, curiosity spreading among them.
The crowd buzzed, a series of "Whoa" echoed.
Everyone excitedly gathered around the treasure chest.
This was a treasure chest! Something shrouded in mystery, mostly found in fantasy stories, sparking imagination.
Since the Celestial Convergence, many Otherworld items had appeared on Blue Star.
But for the boys and girls who grew up in the Human Federation, being well-protected by the state, they hadn't had much exposure to mystical things.
What kind of treasure would this treasure chest contain?
The legendary Hero's Holy Sword?
Or maybe the Demon King's Armor?
Or perhaps the long-lost ancient Magic Scripture?
... For a moment, everyone's curiosity was piqued.
The commotion was noticed by the people at the front, including Wei'Er, Wuer, and Lu Xun.
"Are there treasure chests in the Rifts too?" Wuer said in amazement, "I've only heard of 'treasure chests' existing in secret realms like Otherworld dungeons; I didn't expect there to be one in a Rift."
"The essence of a Rift is a world fragment," Wei'Er speculated, "Perhaps there's a hidden special secret realm in this Rift, so it's not surprising to find secret realm items."
Lu Xun looked over there, seeing the treasure chest surrounded by layers of people.
It was entirely dark golden, seemingly made of a special metal, looking quaint and imposing, covered with the mottled traces of time and dark green moss, giving off an ancient yet noble feeling.
Although he had cleared all the monsters on this route with Puppets, he had missed this treasure chest at that time.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rose in Lu Xun's heart.
Spider Sense was triggered automatically.
Judging by the Sense, all the people around the treasure chest were about to encounter a fatal crisis within the next 8 seconds.
'Let me see what's going on?'
