CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 271: A JOURNEY OF TREASURE CHEST HARVEST, RETURNING FULLY LOADED!

[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]

[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]

[You have obtained a...]

After collecting the treasure chests in this Hell’s Kitchen, Lin Yue retreated and began to meticulously count the total number of treasure chests he had gained this time.

Since entering the Underground Ruins C Zone today, he had experienced several battles, each yielding considerable rewards.

The number of Copper Treasure Chests ultimately settled at 152, with only 3 being Silver Treasure Chests, which wasn’t a lot.

In total, he eliminated 15 beggars and obtained 21 cubic meters of Storage Space.

Adding to the existing capacity, Lin Yue now had a massive 84 cubic meters of Storage Space!

cubic meters, that’s countless times more than it used to be.

If it weren’t for the beggars, obtaining this capacity would have been truly difficult for him.

After all, Storage Space cannot be obtained by opening treasure chests, just like Shelter Design Maps and Universal Upgrade Design Maps, they can only be acquired through special channels.

"Now, bringing back a big guy won’t be a problem," Lin Yue stretched his arm and kicked the Lizardman corpse on the ground.

He looked at the corpse of a beggar lying on the other side, his eyes cold.

Just now, he obtained an important piece of information from this guy’s mouth.

The main force of the Lizardmen is near the huge room he hasn’t visited yet, with a total number of around four hundred!

Moreover, it includes nearly a hundred fully armed beggars!

For Lin Yue, this was quite valuable information.

After all, his purpose in coming to this Underground Ruins was to eliminate these Lizardmen and beggars.

However, at this moment, Lin Yue did not want to continue doing so.

"I’m a bit tired; if I force myself to fight, I might be exhausted halfway through."

Lin Yue glanced at the time; it was already very late.

If he continued, it wouldn’t be a problem, but he wouldn’t be able to do anything tomorrow.

He had to bear in mind that there was still a disaster to deal with tomorrow.

Lin Yue stood up again and picked up his weapon.

Even if this area was cleared, he couldn’t afford to relax.

Who knows when an enemy might pop up from somewhere?

"Puchi..." The Little Ice Lizards were a great help in this battle, and they were all exhausted, each one now lying on the shoulder of his Exoskeleton, seemingly too tired to move.

The harvest was substantial, but of course, it was also tiring.

Although there were still quite a few Lizardmen in the unexplored area, it didn’t matter; they could be dealt with tomorrow.

By then, they would be wiped out completely, leaving no trace behind!

Remaining vigilant all the way, Lin Yue finally returned to the crossroads without spotting any Lizardman, yet he suddenly heard some sounds from the direction of the altar...

He quietly walked over, stopping the Little Ice Lizards on his shoulder from trying to come down.

Through the Night Vision Device, he saw two Lizardmen standing guard by the wooden door ahead!

They were standing straight, holding metal spears, even wearing special wooden armor.

As he stood there, he also heard strange noises coming from between the altars, similar to what he had heard in Zone F.

"Oh ho, Silver Treasure Chest Lizardmen... Got it."

Lin Yue immediately lay on the ground, setting up his sniper rifle!

[You have obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!]

[You have obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!]

Two system notifications rang in his ears, and the Lizardmen, whose brains had been penetrated without any sound, lay dead on the ground.

Lin Yue gently walked over, collected the two treasure chests, and put the two Lizardmen’s corpses into the Storage Space.

If it’s an assassination, it must be silent.

He gently opened the wooden door, and at the same time, loud noises from a large number of Lizardmen inside erupted.

What strange rituals were they conducting now?

Lin Yue peeked inside, and it did seem so. In the dim firelight, a Lizardman dressed in black was shouting something loudly in front of the central circular platform between the altars, while the other Lizardmen surrounded it, each looking furious, waving their arms in the air, as if they were about to undertake something grand.

Their total number seemed to be over two or three hundred!

In this space, if he blocked the door to attack these guys, unless he could ensure no one would come from behind, it would be very challenging.

But, what if he started a fire?

Lin Yue contemplated for a moment, it was feasible.

If he started a fire and then blocked the entrance, he could quickly eliminate a large number of Lizardmen.

Between the altars was an enclosed place, with no second route leading elsewhere, even if there was a ventilation opening, it would likely fall into complete despair amidst the flames.

The downside is, it would leave behind a pile of treasure chests, and when the fire would go out, or when it would be possible to re-enter between the altars, would be uncertain.

Leaving behind a pile of treasure chests for later Lizardmen would not do; even if they were all Copper Treasure Chests, there might be some Silver Treasure Chests or the Golden Treasure Chest left by the priest, but still, it’s somewhat lacking.

Yet if this opportunity slipped away for nothing, eliminating such a large number of Lizardmen would take quite some time, and within these Lizardmen, there might be one that could give him a hard time.
