CHAPTER 270: CHAPTER 266: EXPLODING GOLDEN TREASURE CHEST? JUST NORMAL OPERATION_2

What kind of enslavement or something, if it were really like that, how could there be such a scene?

Masao Ishiko’s nonsense might fool those survivors without night vision devices and sighting scopes.

But, whatever.

Lin Yue found it amusing in his heart, this Neon trash seemed to think he could be deceived.

Then just play along with it.

"Really? Then I’ll take you to find your companions, and after clearing out the Lizardmen from this area, you can return to the surface."

"Thank you, Great Lin Yue, thank you, Great Lin Yue!"

If it weren’t for the Little Ice Lizards biting his throat, Lin Yue really thought this guy would immediately bow and say "Arigato," and then knock his head on the ground three times.

"Let him go, let him stand up." Lin Yue commanded the Little Ice Lizards, and they left two on his shoulders while the other two came to Lin Yue’s feet.

Masao Ishiko stood up and hurriedly bowed to Lin Yue, almost flipping off the two, Little Liuzi and Red String, perched on his shoulders, their little claws firmly clutching his clothes.

"Great Lin Yue, I’ll take you to our companions’ room, and then you can save us out!"

"No problem, lead the way."

Lin Yue pretended to be fooled, but this guy’s eyes were constantly moving, claiming not to look at the system panel would be a lie even to a ghost.

He’s probably meeting up with his companions, and then having those guys inform the Lizardmen for an ambush ahead.

The crossbow carriage in the Storage Space, the Alloy Tactical Crossbow and Steel Repeating Crossbow in hand, the Sniper Rifle, the M19, and the most powerful weapon in this narrow space—a shotgun, the Boom Stick!

At this moment, they were all itching for action, eager to fire!

In the dim passage, footsteps echoed occasionally.

Masao Ishiko walked ahead, not moving fast, while on his shoulders, Little Liuzi and Red String were vigilantly watching his every move according to Lin Yue’s command.

Lin Yue held the Alloy Tactical Crossbow, with an Armor-Piercing Incendiary Arrow set, but not ignited, walking less than ten meters behind Masao Ishiko.

The passage was wide and very long; Lin Yue estimated they walked for about five minutes.

However, he also saw three passage entrances on either side, leading to unknown destinations.

Took out a pen and notebook, relying solely on memory with a sluggish system wasn’t enough.

A good memory isn’t as reliable as a bad pen. It’d be ridiculous if they couldn’t find their way back later.

Sketching the rough layout of the passage, Lin Yue basically grasped where he needed to go and in which direction.

Moreover, Black Dot and Green Claw had already warned Lin Yue more than once about the hostility and danger emanating from the three junctions they passed earlier.

While moving, Lin Yue occasionally looked back using the night vision device, ready to respond immediately to any abnormal situation, not wanting to be ambushed by the Lizardmen.

After walking another hundred meters, a door appeared ahead.

Simultaneously, Lin Yue also heard a strange sound emanating from beside the door.

"Grrroooo..."

This is...

Lin Yue’s body reacted instantly—he started drooling.

Lion-headed Bear!

Awesome, this trip paid off!

Through the night vision goggles, an unbelievably large monster squatted beside the door, its lion-like head above a bear-like body bristling with muscle!

Lin Yue glanced at Masao Ishiko.

He could now use the simplest way to take down the Lion-headed Bear, and upon eliminating it, a Golden Treasure Chest would definitely appear!

Golden Treasure Chest, nice.

At least it’s not so tedious to open.

But should he avoid this bastard, no, Masao Ishiko, when the Golden Treasure Chest appears?

Though it might be possible to pass it off as a "coincidence," they’d already had a Copper Treasure Chest before, getting a Golden one now, it’s too lucky to be ignored.

Masao Ishiko, however, would most certainly send out this information...

No way.

"Great Lin Yue, through this door is the Lizardmen’s gathering place. Please go ahead." This guy seemed to think he could sneak past.

There’s a big Lion-headed Bear squatting in front of the door, and this guy pretended not to see it, but he acted the part well.

Does he think others are deaf?

Can’t my night vision goggles see it?

Lin Yue felt sorry for the guy’s intelligence; this level of stupidity is rare these days.

"Oh, you go first." Lin Yue was eager to see what kind of fear this guy would show in front of the Lion-headed Bear, so he urged.

"Uh... okay, I’ll go first, Lin Yue, follow me; our other people are waiting for you to rescue them."

He said it and actually walked straight ahead.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow.

What? Not afraid of the Lion-headed Bear?

He whistled, and Little Liuzi and Red String left the strangely behaving Masao Ishiko and returned to Lin Yue at the fastest speed.

"Great Lin Yue? Aren’t you coming over?"

At this moment, Lin Yue seemed to witness an utterly absurd scene.

Masao Ishiko, as if completely blind, walked to the side of the Lion-headed Bear, even standing less than three meters away from it.

He could be devoured by the ferocious beast at any moment!

However, the Lion-headed Bear did not do so; instead, it looked quite disdainful, even stepping aside when Masao Ishiko approached, growling with a clatter of chain sounds, an extremely unpleasant noise.

"What’s that sound?" From Lin Yue’s position, without using the night vision device, it was hard to spot the black-furred Lion-headed Bear.
