Reincarnation Paradise: Giant Treasure Chest

After taking over the potion, the ruthless man checked the properties of the potion, then spoke his lines carelessly and continued to wade through the swamp to make his way.

At the end of the swamp is another elevator placed by Ivia that goes directly to the fourth floor.

According to Ivia's designed route, the correct order of exploring the castle that blocked her path was two → three → underground poisonous swamp → four → one, and the exploration was completed.

After exploring the castle, the trial participants can see her by defeating a few combat demons and two knight projections.

However, from what Ivia has seen so far, apart from the treasure chest placed openly on the roadside, the two hidden treasure chests she added later have not been found yet.

Not to mention the Sunshine Gun in the elevator mezzanine, there was even an item in the poisonous swamp that neither of them had discovered, which really disappointed Ivia.

Ivia had clearly left clues. Some of the flies were obviously larger than the others, but they didn't attack actively. As long as they rolled in the poisonous swamp a few more times, they would be able to see them easily.

In order to remind them that they had forgotten something, Ivia had to improvise and dug a big hole in the corridor on the fourth floor to make it easier for them to fall back to the third floor.

While Ivia was secretly digging the hole, the following three-person team and the devil's clone who had come all the way smoothly also arrived at the third floor of the castle.

The bonfire that Ivia had kindly placed was not activated. The three of them were ready for battle, but the journey had been uneventful. The atmosphere in the team was now extremely tense.

At this moment, the aisle above them suddenly collapsed, and angry curses were heard.

"Don't worry!"

The Feather Clan warrior stopped the Night Witch from casting a spell, and the ones who fell were the ruthless man who missed a step and the contractor of the Death Paradise.

In order to ensure that the two of them would be caught, Ivia specially dug a hole in front of the treasure chest monster. When they returned to the original position and tried to open the treasure chest, they were attacked by the treasure chest monster. I believe their expressions would be very interesting.

"Trialist?"

The Feather Clan asked, and the more teammates the better, except for the Demon Clan.

The ruthless man looked the trio up and down and easily guessed what they were going to do:

"Close combat! I want to pick the spoils first!"

"Sniper! I just need to complete the mission alive."

The contractor of Death Paradise then began to explain.

Upon hearing this, the Feather Clan warrior turned to look at the Soul Mage, hoping to make a judgment with the help of his high perception.

The soul mage understood the meaning and nodded calmly. The ruthless man had no intention of concealing his aura, and his strength was easy to judge.

After receiving the response, the Feather Clan turned around and replied to the ruthless man:

"Deal! But we need your exploration information."

"Wait!" The Night Witch wanted to say something, but was ignored by Huali.

The ruthless man briefly recounted his journey, including the consequences of activating the bonfire and the recent battle, and finally concluded:

"The battle here isn't as difficult as I imagined, but judging by the monsters' activity range and the locations of the items, there's definitely someone with a dark mind behind this!"

"The dark-minded person is the Sunshine Princess mentioned in the mission?"

The Night Witch interjected.

The ruthless man's originally angry expression suddenly became calm after hearing the Night Witch speak:

"I didn't say that! The Sunshine Princess must be beautiful, kind, and powerful!"

This sudden change of expression made the Night Witch laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha..." The Night Witch was halfway through laughing when she suddenly remembered the armored man who appeared in front of her not long ago, ignored her binding runes, and talked back to the Void Tree. Her face turned pale.

[Due to special factors, the danger level in Anor Londo has increased and the duration is uncertain.]

The Void Tree immediately issued a new notice, and the four trial-takers glared at the talkative Night Witch.

Chapter 10 Blackmail

Whether Ivia was in a good or bad mood had no effect on Anor Londo itself. The only difference was that the sky changed from noon to sunset again.

Plus the monster becomes slightly more violent.

The trial participants' intuitive feeling was only that the concentration of the power of the abyss had increased slightly.

After hearing the announcement, the contractors in Death Paradise glanced around through their scopes. Finding no new dangers, they spoke tentatively:

"Should we wait here for the unknown factors to change, or should we continue to move forward?"

"Go forward first, let's open that treasure chest first!"

The ruthless man answered and turned to the remaining three people:

"I found that treasure chest first, so it's not part of the distribution!"

The Feather Trialist simply nodded, this made perfect sense.

So the five of them took the elevator and went down to the poison pool.

When she saw the disgusting color and smell of the poison pool, the Night Witch also understood why the ruthless man said that the person who arranged the venue had a dark mind.

Because the ruthless guy had already been through it and the Shrimp Firewood King guarding the area had also been eliminated, the five people just endured the nausea and quickly passed through the poison pool.

As for Ivia's painstaking arrangements, they were completely in vain. No one in the five-member group wanted to carefully search the shit-yellow poison pool.

Soon the smelly five-man team arrived at the place on the fourth floor where the ruthless man had fallen before.

The treasure chest is placed on the other side of the big hole.

The five people stuck to the wall of the aisle and carefully walked along the remaining path on the edge of the big hole, avoiding the triggered trap.

The disguise of this treasure chest monster was created by Ivia herself. Even the soul mage with the sharpest perception among the five people did not find anything wrong.

With the example of Sunshine Healing, Henren was very much looking forward to this treasure chest. He rubbed his hands and went forward to open the box under the gaze of the four people.

The moment the ruthless man opened the treasure chest, a terrifying big mouth bit towards his head. The ruthless man, immersed in anticipation, was not prepared at all and half of his body was swallowed up in one bite.

The treasure chest monster stood up with half of the man in its mouth and swung it wildly like a crocodile that had caught its prey.

Seeing his teammates being attacked, the Feather Tribe trialist drew his rapier and was about to attack, but the Soul Mage stopped him and said:

"They discovered this treasure chest. We don't need to get involved."

After the treasure chest monster's disguise was exposed, the strength of the monster's breath could not be hidden from the soul mage's perception. This monster was not strong, at least it was not too much trouble for the ruthless person with a solid and dangerous breath.

After the initial panic, the ruthless man also realized this and drew his sword and stabbed it into the treasure chest monster's big mouth despite the pain. If it was the environment at noon before, the treasure chest monster would have obediently spit out the attacker due to the pain.

But now the violent treasure chest monster seemed to have no feeling and continued to try to chew the ruthless man.

In desperation, the ruthless man injected strength into the knife in his hand and released a burst of energy into the treasure chest monster's big mouth.

Bang!

The treasure chest monster was attacked from the inside and exploded like a watermelon, splattering black blood everywhere.

【The treasure chest monster is dead】

[You obtain the Glutton's Mark (Holy Spirit)]

[You obtain the Greedy Man's Soul Purse]

(Greedy Soul Purse: Open and randomly receive -100 to 10000 Soul Coins)

[Due to your unique monster-killing performance, you have earned the attention of the Sunshine Princess. Subsequent battles will be more difficult by +5%]

The ruthless man fell to the ground and looked at the last clue speechlessly. This was almost confirmed.

What a unique monster-killing performance!

When the treasure chest monster explodes inside, the half of his body that is swallowed will also be attacked in the same way. Although he can be immune to damage because it is his own power, his soft and defenseless hair is burned away by the energy.

Nowadays, as long as a ruthless person has a barcode tattooed on the back of his head, he will be no different from the contractors of the Death Paradise.

This Sunshine Princess is clearly just having fun!

Henren checked the attributes of the helmet that looked like a treasure chest monster, and found that the increased drop attribute was very much to his liking.

If there is such equipment every time he makes a fool of himself, the ruthless person doesn't mind being a clown.

Of course, he needed to find a place to vent his anger. Not only Princess Sunshine but also his four teammates laughed at him!

"This monster dropped a quest item. You need to pay to use it!"

As the ruthless man said this, he took out the key to the fourth floor that had dropped when he was hunting lobsters and began to blackmail.

Except for the devil clan, the void forces that came to participate in the trial this time are basically wealthy and powerful. Now when they see the ruthless people asking for money, they don’t think there is anything wrong.

On the contrary, the Soul Mage opened his mouth to recruit:

"If you need resources, you can go to our Arcane Eternal Star. Your strength will be fully supported by resources!"

"2500 Soul Coins per person! I want it now!"

The ruthless man ignored the solicitation and said with a cold face.

The three non-paradise trialists looked at each other and took out their soul coins. However, the Night Witch took off the wizard hat on her head and let the ruthless man take it himself.

The ruthless man had no intention of playing along with her and simply grabbed the key and pretended to destroy it.

Several people have fully experienced the insane map design inside the royal city, and no one dares to bet whether there is another way to pass through.

The Night Witch had no choice but to throw away her purse.

The contractor of the Paradise of Death laughed in his heart. The Void Force just didn't understand at all. If it were him, he would never feel threatened because he knew that the contractors of the Paradise of Reincarnation would be executed if they failed to complete the mission.

A ruthless person will never destroy the mission props.

When he turned around, the ruthless man had already collected the money. He stretched out his hand in front of the Death Paradise Contractor, weighed it, and indicated that he wanted it too.

The two bald men looked at each other in silence. Seeing that the other was unmoved, the ruthless one immediately exerted force with his hand, and the key was visibly bent a little.

This madman!

The contractor of the Paradise of Death immediately took out his wallet and obediently counted out the soul coins and presented them.

Ten thousand soul coins were suddenly deposited, which slightly soothed the wounded hearts of some ruthless people.

The ruthless man took the lead and walked in front of the gate at the end of the aisle.

Of course he didn't dare not complete the task, but the properties of this key had never been shared with anyone before, so it was not a regular key.

When Ivia was designing the key, she had considered the consequences of the key being corroded by the lobster's stomach acid, so this key was not meant to be inserted into the keyhole at all.

Not to mention breaking it, even crushing it is fine. As long as you hold the part that contains the key, just hold it high in front of the door at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor.
