The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

"Holy crap, have I unearthed a legendary gold artifact?"

Seeing the changes, the surrounding players gathered around and started discussing the situation.

"Holy crap, this is gold?"

One player looked on, somewhat uncertain.

"It's definitely gold!"

"It shouldn't be. Gold isn't very hard. Look at this ground; it's unusually hard."

"Forget it, whatever the situation, let's dig this thing out first."

The players discussed it and quickly made a decision.

And so the players got busy.

However, as the excavation began, players gradually discovered that something was amiss.

At first, the players only dug out a small area, but as the digging progressed faster, a large area of ​​the ground was soon covered with this metal.

This sparked even more speculation among players about the item.

"Although I don't know what happened, this thing is definitely a good one!"

"That's for sure, but I don't know what this thing is used for."

While they were busy, the players started discussing among themselves.

The players' belief is not unfounded.

First of all, this relic has not been delivered yet, but it's impossible to build such a large relic without doing anything.

The authorities aren't stupid; they went to all the trouble of creating such a huge ruins map just to use it as a backdrop.

It is obvious that this is impossible.

There's one more thing right after that.

That is the structure of this site.

In fact, this ruin is a maze-like structure, which is very common in dungeons.

This type of heritage usually has one characteristic.

That means there will be various channels.

The function of these channels is naturally quite simple.

That is, misleading people into entering this place through one channel after another.

But no matter how you mislead people, one thing is undeniable.

That means the final result here is that we can reach the place where the real treasure is located.

The players simply destroyed the entire maze.

No matter what the players do, they will eventually find the treasure.

The situation here is that this thing is at the bottom of the maze.

That's right, it's at the bottom of the maze.

There are no doors or passages leading here.

To put it bluntly, this thing is completely designed to prevent people from finding it.

If the person who built this site hadn't been such a stingy person, and hadn't deliberately left nothing of value inside...

So players can guarantee you'll never see this thing.

If there's treasure inside, how could players possibly find it if they didn't think to break the ground?

And so, the players, each with their own thoughts, continued digging.

As time went by, the area was soon almost completely explored by the players.

Then the players were dumbfounded.

This is a huge, golden metal box that is about 100 meters long, wide, and high.

The players put in a lot of effort to dig this thing out, and it took them a full day or two to uncover its full appearance.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

"I don't know!"

"Damn, so what is this thing used for? It's so big, it must be worth a lot of money."

For a time, players were full of speculation about this matter.

"Should we open this thing next?"

"Wait for me, I'll go ask the NPC first."

The players were also confused about this, so naturally they immediately thought of Jiang Chen.

In short, no matter what it is, asking Jiang Chen to come over is always a good idea.

If these are useful items, Jiang Chen can simply accept them. If they are quest items, they can trigger the quest.

Even if it turns out to be something completely useless, it doesn't matter.

At least they figured it out, so as not to waste more time and energy.

In short, no matter what they do, they won't lose money in this round.

With these thoughts in mind, the players hurriedly found Jiang Chen.

"Something terrible has happened to the leader!"

Jiang Chen, who was just idly wandering around and enjoying a rare moment of leisure, saw several players rushing over in a flurry.

"So what happened?"

"We dug something out of the ruins; it was a large, square box."

"And the material of that box looks a bit like gold."

"In short, it's absolutely outrageous."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also slightly taken aback.

"A particularly large box?"

"And it's made of gold."

This was far too extravagant, which immediately piqued Jiang Chen's interest.

"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, a major discovery!"

Just as Jiang Chen was talking to the players, Lilith rushed over in a flurry.

"Lilith, what are you doing here?"

"We've dug something up from the ruins!" Lilith exclaimed, breathless.

However, when Lilith saw the player talking to Jiang Chen, she knew she was too late.

"I understand. Anyway, let's go take a look."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and led Jiang Chen and Lilith towards the ruins.

Not long after...

When Jiang Chen arrived at the ruins, he was dumbfounded when he saw the huge square box.

"What is this thing?"

For a moment, Jiang Chen didn't know what to say.

"That's just outrageous, isn't it?"

"What's the purpose of such a large gold box?"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen arrive, the players all gathered around him.

Before Lilith could even speak, she was pushed out by one of the cats.

"Why are you nasty patters pushing me?"

Very annoyed, Lilith tried to squeeze back into the Pata group, but was pushed out again.

"hateful!"

Lilith was very unhappy.

It's so noisy here that I can't hear what Jiang Chen is saying at all.

Lilith was also very curious about the box.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was completely bewildered as the players bombarded him with questions about his situation.

You guys don't know this, but do you think I do?

God knows what this thing is used for?

As he spoke, Jiang Chen walked over to the metal box and began to examine it closely.

"This material is probably not made of gold."

"There should be some special runes engraved on the surface, and there is also a magic circle. Moreover, the level of this magic circle is not low."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen continued to observe.

The surface of the metal has various engraved patterns, which form complex designs.

Jiang Chen said he couldn't understand the pattern either.

"So what exactly is this thing? And why is it hidden beneath the ruins?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen also seemed somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Chen originally thought that this ruin would yield some treasure. But after digging for so long, all the players found was this thing.
