Chapter 44 The Color of the Treasure Chest

At this time, Xu Feng had already dived into the resort lake. The clear water of the lake was rippling with the wind and rippled. Looking up from the bottom of the lake, the sunlight refracted dreamlike colors, which was really beautiful. At this time, a huge figure , appeared in front of Xu Feng.

Xu Feng didn't know that those people were discussing "playing games". If he knew, he would definitely sneer at their opinions. This is a real world. Certainly not long.

You know, in the game, characters can die countless times, but in reality, each person only has one life.

Xu Feng also doesn't know why since the awakening of the earth, this world has become more and more like a game world, but Xu Feng knows that even if it is a game, this game has only one chance for everyone. As long as everything is over, there will be no chance of resurrection.

"Maybe, I'm a special case." Xu Feng smiled wryly.

Boom~

Suddenly, there was a muffled noise from the bottom of the lake ahead, and the entire lake was violently rippling.

Xu Feng couldn't help but move in his heart, and quietly swam towards the place where the sound came from.

Deep in the bottom of the lake, a crack suddenly appeared, and black ink-like liquid gushed out. The fish monsters around were already scared and fled in all directions. Some unresponsive fish monsters were stained by the black liquid. Letting out a heart-piercing scream, his body seemed to be infected by something, and quickly turned into a black fleshy paste, merging into the black liquid.

Xu Feng stopped, not daring to move forward.

"What is this? Why is it so weird?" Xu Feng frowned, staring at the black liquid as thick as ink in front of him.

The liquid didn't spread, but remained in a ball about three meters square, like a living thing, lying on top of the crack at the bottom of the lake, motionless, just a faint black shadow around it, rippling with the lake water.

"I don't seem to have heard of any ink-like monsters in this resort lake in my previous life..." Xu Feng searched his memory, but found nothing.

"It's just that at the back of the resort, there is a gathering place built by humans. There have never been any powerful monsters in this resort lake. Then what is this thing in front of me?" He didn't go forward to test anything, but retreated slowly and exited the resort lake.

There was such a strange thing at the bottom of the lake that Xu Feng didn't dare go down to the lake to hunt fish monsters anymore.

In the last days, there are many strange things, not powerful enough to be unscrupulous. Xu Feng once heard that there are even more powerful existences above the Nine Stars. During the conversation with Su Yi, the tree man of the Spirit Race, Xu Feng also vaguely felt that the Nine Stars were not the apex, and there were more powerful existences.

"Is that glob of ink the same as the legendary existence beyond the Nine Stars?" Xu Feng thought in his heart.

...

At this time, Zhang Qiang and others had already left the resort and walked towards the mountains behind the resort.

"The resort lake has already been occupied by that guy. If we go, we will definitely conflict with him. It's better to explore the mountain behind. Maybe there will be some adventures." Guo Yu said lightly.

"Guo Yu is right. Let's go to the mountains to have a look. Maybe we can meet some herbs, ores and other materials. Maybe there will be adventures." Ma Wei agreed.

The others did not speak, obviously holding the same thoughts.

After two hours of hiking, the five people came to a mountain col, and they didn't gain anything along the way.

"Look there, there seems to be a golden light shining on that rock." Li Min suddenly pointed to the nearby hillside and shouted.

"What golden light?"

"Where?"

"It's right there, isn't there a rock? Behind the rock, there seemed to be a golden light just now, and it disappeared in a flash. Hey, look quickly, it flashed again." Li Min seemed very excited, jumping and saying.

"I'll go up and have a look!" After hesitating for a moment, Ma Wei gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Qiang originally wanted to go up, but now he felt a dull pain in his chest when he moved a little, so he had to give up this idea.

The hillside is not steep, but ordinary people have to spend a lot of effort to go up. Ma Wei used all four limbs to climb up the rock halfway up the hillside.

"Oh my mother, I'm exhausted!" Ma Wei said to himself, panting heavily.

"Ma Wei, do you see anything?" Several people down the mountain shouted loudly.

"Let me take a breath first, I'm exhausted." Ma Wei looked behind the rock while watching.

"What, what is this?" Ma Wei rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise.

"Ma Wei, Ma Wei, what is it, you are so anxious to death." Li Min said stomping his feet.

"The box, there is a box behind this rock, a box shining with golden light." Standing on the rock, Ma Wei shouted loudly.

"The box, the golden light, the golden box?" Guo Yu was thoughtful, as if he suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh, and shouted happily: "Ma Wei, open it, open it, that's a treasure box, there are good things in it." thing."

"Yes, yes, there will be treasure chests in the wild in the game, and there are good things in them, good things, haha!" Zhang Qiang also became excited.

"Great, we're lucky, we even encountered a treasure chest."

"Hehe, I hope a weapon can be opened inside."

"What's so good about weapons, it's best to get a skill book, or a job book."

Several people discussed and stared at Ma Wei on the rock.

"Here, this box has a lock, so it can't be opened!" Ma Wei said anxiously, fiddling with the lock on the box.

Suddenly, the hearts of the people below felt cold.

"It's over, it's a locked treasure chest."

"Then what to do? The box is locked, so we can't get out what's inside."

"Yeah, unless you have a key, or learn the lockpicking skills, and the box is golden, obviously the level is very high, just being able to open the lock is not enough, maybe the level of the lockpicking skills is very high."

"Then what to do, isn't this a joy for nothing?"

...

When Ma Wei came down from the hillside, a group of people gathered together with sad faces, discussing what to do.

Leaving like this is obviously not reconciled. After walking in the mountains for a long time, it is just such a harvest. If I give up, I really can't bear it. But what can I do if I don't leave? The box was locked and they couldn't open it.

"What should we do, don't you want it? Why don't we come back after we find the key or learn the lockpicking skills?" Sun Liang hesitated.

"What if this box is lost? What if someone else finds it and opens it first? It's a golden treasure box, there must be something good in it."

"Hey, I thought of a way." Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's tell the guy upstairs the news and ask him to give us something good. What do you think?"

"Go ahead and tell him that if he can offer something good, he won't give it to us, and we can't beat him." Ma Wei said with a wave of his hand.

"We don't want the stuff inside, what do you think of this news to exchange some equipment with him?" Zhang Qiang said in a low voice.
