23 Pincered by Two Women
"Ahem, you're really thick-skinned."
"Show-off! You—"
When the two women heard Zhou Han's words, their faces turned red. Of course, they could not admit their loss of composure and hurriedly denied it.
'Hah! Women. They refuse to admit it!'
"Then let's go! The monsters here are too weak and leveling up is too slow."
After all, the highest-level wild monster in the Fog Forest was only Level 10, so nothing good would drop.
The experience points were also low and could not meet Zhou Han's next upgrade requirements.
Zhou Han decided to upgrade to a higher-level map.
"Hey, wait, something's glowing there!"
Han Qinxue discovered another abnormality through her innate vision.
Zhou Han followed the direction she pointed and walked closer. It was actually beside Chen Beixuan's corpse.
It was a blueprint, shimmering with a faint golden light.
It was mostly pinned down by his body.
Zhou Han could not help but admire Han Qinxue's powerful eyesight. She could even discover it at such a tricky angle.
As he picked up the blueprint, a system prompt sounded.
[You have obtained a treasure map (Fog Forest). Do you want to activate the treasure-seeking route?]
Good lord, it was a treasure map.
'This kid was so lucky. Unfortunately, I've already killed him.'
Zhou Han sneered in his mind and chose to activate it.
[Activation successful. Route generated. Please view.]
Soon, Zhou Han opened the information on the map and was able to see the mark of the treasure.
His position to the treasure point had a crooked route.
"What, you said this was a treasure map? I love playing treasure hunts."
When the sisters heard this information, they were very excited.
"I wonder what kind of treasure awaits us."
"Then let's go. What are we waiting for?"
Zhou Han was also looking forward to it. Soon, the three of them set off.
After a winding route, they finally arrived at a cave.
The map showed exactly where the treasure was.
"It's dark inside. It's so eerie!" Han Xiangning said nervously.
"It looks like a very dangerous place." Han Qinxue was also a little flustered.
The cave in front of them was indeed very dark. The light was weak, and they could only see two or three meters.
It was normal for girls to be timid.
After all, they had only been in the Godfiend Continent for less than a day. It was impossible for them to change so quickly.
"Why don't you guys just wait outside?" Zhou Han asked tentatively when he saw how afraid they were.
"No, we're already here. We have to go in and take a look." Han Xiangning immediately rejected and said righteously.
"Yes, we have to exercise our abilities too. We can't keep holding you back!" Han Qinxue also expressed her opinion.
"Looks like you all want to be my good wives. Okay, let's go!"
Seeing that both women were self-reliant, Zhou Han was quite happy.
In that case, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Satisfied, he nodded and led the way into the cave.
"Good wives? Zhou Han, you're taking advantage of us again."
Han Xiangning looked at Zhou Han's back and said ruthlessly, but a smile appeared on her face.
Inside the cave was a long aisle. The three of them walked for a while.
They found no danger other than darkness.
They finally found a huge treasure chest at the end of the aisle.
Zhou Han was about to walk over when he saw a black shadow flash beside the treasure chest.
"Hmm? Is this the guardian of the treasure chest?"
According to the usual game routine, to obtain the treasure, one had to defeat the boss guarding the treasure chest.
Therefore, Zhou Han guessed that this black shadow was guarding the treasure chest.
As expected, when it saw someone break in, the black shadow attacked Zhou Han.
[Blood Shadow Bug Demon]
[Grade: Silver]
[Level: 20]
[Life: 3,200]
[Attack: 413]
[Defense: 217]
[Skill 1: Insect Swarm: Summon a large number of insects to surround the target.]
[Skill 2: Block: There is a 20% chance of blocking fatal damage.]
[Description: It can summon many insects and is very difficult to deal with. Weakness: Fire attribute attack.]
Seeing that the Blood Shadow Bug Demon only had 3,200 HP, Zhou Han felt no pressure at all. He could settle it with two skills.
Both skills it had were unique.
One was a skill to summon insects, a group attack tactic.
There was also a blocking skill. It only had a 20% chance which wasn't very high.
The result of the appraisal was not explained in detail.
Seeing this, Zhou Han did not hesitate. He raised his sword and executed the [Cross Slash].
The violent sword blast slammed into it, leaving deep damage.
He was lucky enough to trigger the knockback effect.
The Blood Shadow Bug Demon was knocked back into the stone wall.
"Huh…"
It was clearly angered and used its [Insect Swarm] skill.
They could feel a tremor on the ground around them.
Then, countless insects crawled out from the ground and surrounded Zhou Han and the others.
"Ah! So many bugs!"
"It's disgusting. They're surrounding me!"
The densely packed bugs made one's scalp tingle.
Anyone with trypophobia would probably faint immediately.
The two women were shocked by the sight.
They panicked and jumped towards Zhou Han when they saw the swarm.
Zhou Han was a little speechless. They were too timid!
He was sandwiched between two women on either side of him. The two different fragrances were refreshing and did feel very comfortable.
But now was not the time to think blindly. The danger ahead had to be dealt with.
"Hey, can you two calm down?"
In their current state, he could not release his skills at all!
"Bugs, I'm so scared! I can't take one look." Han Xiangning said uncomfortably.
She probably had trypophobia.
On the other hand, Han Qinxue immediately recovered.
Realizing that her chest was still pressed against Zhou Han's body, she immediately blushed.
Hastily she pulled away, her head bowed in thought.
On the other side, Han Xiangning still refused to let go.
Zhou Han let her be! He could fight her with one hand anyway.
"Let's see how I destroy the enemy!"
He pulled Han Xiangning into his arms and threw the Sky Splitting Slash.
Three waves of sword aura flew out and hit the Blood Shadow Bug Demon.
Miss!
Miss!
Two consecutive dodges had been triggered. This luck was too much.
However, the third sword aura still pierced through it.
[You have successfully killed the Blood Shadow Bug Demon and obtained a gold treasure chest key.]
A gold key appeared in the package.
[Gold Treasure Chest Key: Can open treasure chests at or below Gold-grade. One-time consumable. It will disappear automatically after use.]
There were two types of treasure chests in the Godfiend Continent: One was the treasure chest rewarded by the system that could be opened without a key.
The other was the treasure chests scattered all over the map. One needed a key to open them.
Killing the Treasure Chest Guard had a 90% chance of dropping it.
