CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 267: WHO DOESN’T LIKE GOLDEN TREASURE CHESTS A LITTLE MORE?

Boom!

The sound of a gunshot rang out.

A headless corpse fell at that moment.

Lin Yue looked coldly at the corpse of Sugimoto Masao, who thought he was smart but was a fool from the beginning to the end, without saying anything.

[You have obtained the Golden Treasure Chest]

Lin Yue picked up the Golden Treasure Chest next to the lion-headed bear on the ground and immediately stored it in the Storage Space.

Originally, he planned to incapacitate the lion-headed bear using an Armor-Piercing Arrow, then have the Little Ice Lizards or himself divert Sugimoto Masao’s attention, and then kill the lion-headed bear, obtaining the Golden Treasure Chest while swiftly storing it in the Storage Space.

However, a special situation occurred.

Sugimoto Masao seemed to have something smeared on him that scared mutant creatures, similar to what’s on the lizardmen.

Relying on this, he unexpectedly unlocked the lion-headed bear’s chains.

Lin Yue wasn’t confident about maintaining the upper hand facing such a possibly fast and strong beast in this dimly lit place.

The lion-headed bear was manageable when chained.

But without that restraint, this mutant creature might become a fierce opponent he wasn’t eager to face.

Perhaps the spray could be effective, but he wasn’t a hundred percent certain to defeat the lion-headed bear without being injured.

So, when Sugimoto Masao unlocked the lion-headed bear’s chains, laughing wildly to kill him, Lin Yue decided in his heart already to let this fool die early.

Initially, Lin Yue intended to give the grandson a chance, letting him survive until encountering the lizardmen army, but things did not go as desired, this Neon native seemed to have inherited a gene for courting death, becoming a master of self-destruction, then smoothly turned into a brainless, adorable corpse.

If he could have led him to a lizardmen gathering area, that would have been great, or led him to the beggars like him, even better.

But there was no "if."

Just hesitating for one second, the situation would spiral out of control.

After all, this isn’t a real game, death means death.

Severe injuries can lead to death, even minor scratches, if not treated properly, are extremely dangerous.

Not to mention scratches and bites.

Moreover.

The real death point for Sugimoto Masao was when he uttered keywords like "continuous treasure chest."

This matter must not be discovered.

Lin Yue did not want to explain.

His strength doesn’t require explaining this issue to anyone.

Continuous treasure chest exploding, and a Golden Treasure Chest after a Copper Treasure Chest, based on the current treasure chest drop rate, it’s really impossible.

Since Sugimoto Masao found out about this, there really wasn’t any reason to spare him.

However, indeed this fool did lead him to this wooden door, and timely replenished his lion-headed bear meat.

Otherwise, he might have been wandering around those three passages he passed earlier for quite some time.

This fool did, in fact, accomplish one good thing.

Lin Yue ultimately decided to use the spray instead of the Crossbow Arrow to kill him, also out of this kindness, wanting him to die beautifully.

A kind of reward.

How many people in this world could enjoy such treatment?

Sugimoto Masao seems to be the first?

[You have obtained the Lion-headed Bear’s corpse]

Now Lin Yue does not want to immediately dissect the lion-headed bear to obtain various materials, his time is also precious.

[You have acquired 2 cubic meters of Storage Space!]

[All items in this Storage Space will be merged into your Storage Space]

Lin Yue glanced at the additional items in the Storage Space, raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, two Shelter Design Maps? Not bad."

This indeed was a pleasant surprise.

The rest were some food and water, already eaten and drunk, Lin Yue directly sent them to the Survival Points Mall for some survival points.

The passage returned to its original silence again, except for the barely audible sound coming from an unknown distance, Lin Yue heard no other remarkable sounds.

Walking to the wooden door, Lin Yue kicked the corpse of Sugimoto Masao lying on the ground, grabbed the door handle, and opened it on both sides.

A prolonged squeaky noise echoed, and these two doors painted with indescribable and meaningless circles and lines intersecting opened.

The four Little Ice Lizards quickly rushed to the front, their speed inside this cave was absolutely advantageous, moreover, while facing enemies that aren’t lizardmen, their capabilities were maximized.

For example...

Pa-pa-pa-pa!

Four rhythmic sounds echoed after the Little Ice Lizards charged in.

Lin Yue walked in, the Iron Spear in his hand also pierced through the mutated creature within one of the ice blocks on the ground.

Golden Poison Thorn Spider.

This thing was fast and well-hidden.

And they all inhabit dimly lit places, if an Survivor isn’t careful, they’ll fall for their trick, then be paralyzed by those poison fangs, even something as massive as a Storm Flying Lizard can’t withstand it.

If paralyzed, one can only accept the fate of becoming food, possibly witnessing the Golden Poison Thorn Spider slowly devouring oneself bit by bit...

Lin Yue would never recklessly act in this Underground Ruins under dim lighting, almost every time he would at least bring the Little Ice Lizards, Bai and Xiao Meng without further ado, with this being the intent.
