CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 268: TREAT YOUR ENEMIES WITH ABSOLUTE ZERO COLDNESS!

[You have obtained a Sapphire Ore!]

The system’s voice sounded, and Lin Yue got a rather good collectible.

Gems, originally when on Earth, possessed quite decent attributes.

At least in terms of value, gems have always been able to fetch wealth and can be traded for enormous riches, even gaining some status and fame because of them.

Moreover, in some metallurgy and chemistry fields, gems also have quite a lot of room for utility.

But, this is only true on Earth.

In this Otherworld, no gem could surpass the importance of food and water that guarantee survival, a safe shelter, or various facilities that improve the quality of life.

At least, for others, it truly is so.

But for Lin Yue, who has abundant food and water, a gigantic sturdy shelter, and lives a life not much different from the electric age, the sapphire is quite nice.

"At least it looks pretty. Though I don’t know why the Lizardmen would use such a thing for rituals, maybe this is their treasure?" Lin Yue quite liked this thing, and if he could find something to polish and cut it with, it would be even better.

As for the remaining broken box, Lin Yue politely declined. Who would want that thing?

However, just as Lin Yue was preparing to pick up the Storage Space from the headless corpses, a strange rumbling sound suddenly echoed.

Immediately, the place where the box was located quickly sank into a pit!

"Bleh!" The Little Ice Lizards cried out in unison!

"I knew it. In places like this, there are bound to be traps. I bet whoever designed this mechanism is definitely a cliché treasure-hunting novel enthusiast!" Lin Yue rapidly collected the Storage Spaces from the headless corpses beneath his feet.

Who knows if there will be any left if he hesitates now.

Just like last time with the bodies left by Levik and his group!

[You have obtained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space!]

[You have obtained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space!]

[You have obtained...]

Seven people, 8 cubic meters of Storage Space, and he collected it all up as quickly as possible. Amid the frantic cries of the Little Ice Lizards, Lin Yue noticed that a rolling cloud of dust began to rise from the pit!

Goodness, could you move any slower?

If it weren’t for the lack of sound and light effects, who knows if a band playing a concert might pop out in the next second.

Lin Yue had already retreated to the door, giving it a push. It could open, but he still didn’t want to leave just yet.

The weapon in his hand had changed from the M19 pistol at the start to a shotgun.

However, he hadn’t put on the ear protectors yet, waiting to see how things developed.

In case what comes out is something...

"Graaah!"

A massive roar suddenly erupted, as if it had been stifled for hundreds of years!

But this sound seemed somewhat familiar?

Lin Yue was puzzled. Suddenly, he saw that from the center of the pit, where smoke had stopped rising, two monsters crawled out almost simultaneously!

Their heads were like mighty lions, commanding and ferocious, with tusks as long as swords! Their upright bodies stood four to five meters tall, their figures resembling giant bears!

The roars began to echo continuously within the altar, soon turning...

into wails.

[You have obtained a Golden Treasure Chest]

[You have obtained a Golden Treasure Chest]

Oh.

It’s just a pair of Lion-headed Bears, what’s with all the noise?

Who are you trying to scare?

Lin Yue set down the Alloy Tactical Crossbow.

He felt disappointed in the power of the suddenly appeared beasts.

The Lizardmen didn’t think the Lion-headed Bears could take down the one who took the gem, did they...

[You have obtained Lion-headed Bear corpse X2]

Lin Yue expressed his gratitude for the Lizardman’s gift!

Let me tell you, Lion-headed Bear meat is incredibly delicious.

The meat is smooth and not overly greasy, whether cooked as steaks or chunks, it’s extremely tasty, and even their tusks are suitable for making something, and not just that, taking them down also nets you the Golden Treasure Chests!

The Lion-headed Bear is a treasure trove.

Handling the Lion-headed Bears, Lin Yue really wanted to set this altar on fire and burn it down.

The Poison Celestial Dragon statue was just an eyesore, and this is a place where Lizardmen decapitate humans and offer their heads...

But if he burns it, the smoke and dust will be problematic.

Ultimately, after checking the place where the Lion-headed Bears had appeared and not finding anything worth taking, Lin Yue pushed the door open and exited the altar.

A large Sapphire Ore, plus two Golden Treasure Chests, two Lion-headed Bear corpses—this place was more like a treasure trove to him!

After returning to the crossroads again, he headed straight for the direction that seemed to be the kitchen without hesitation.

The commotion in the altar just now was something the Lizardmen could not ignore if they weren’t dumb, and since they could use two Lion-headed Bears as insurance, they could probably send troops to check it out!

Not to mention, the disturbance caused earlier by Little Rascal wasn’t small, and with so many Lizardmen killed over there, along with the patrolling Lizardman and My Son’s Mighty Hiroshi and such that he took down, it’s bound to attract the attention of other Lizardmen.

What’s more, this Underground Ruins are connected, and with the Lizardmen now having a pickaxe, the stone wall he previously blocked the door with is not reliable either.
