Chapter 258: Treasure Chest Collection

The golden treasure chest guardian monster launched several attacks at the Little Spirit Fox, but she was too agile. It completely dodged all the wind blades.

As a fire-type familiar, its dodging ability was actually better than that of a wind-type familiar.

This made the Wind-splitting Dragon very unhappy.

It had already used its strongest skill, but it was still unable to deal with the familiar in front of it. This also meant that its mission could not be completed.

The Little Spirit Fox yawned, an impatient expression on its face as it mocked, “Your attack is too slow. You’re even worse than one of my Dragon friends.”

The Wind-splitting Dragon gritted its teeth. As a Dragon-type familiar, it had absolute pride.

Since it could not deal with the Little Spirit Fox, it still had one last move.

With all the elements gathered in its body, its body was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“What do you want?” The Little Spirit Fox sneered. “Do you think you can defeat me just because you’re bigger?”

“Hehehe.” The Wind-splitting Dragon was also laughing.

As long as its skill was completed, even if it did not die, it could still make the annoying Fox in front of it lose a layer of skin.

It did not expect that it could actually force itself to use this move…

However, it had not been complacent for a few seconds when it felt a heavy punch on its head, causing its consciousness to dissipate.

Mcgee, who had not made a move all this while, made his move.

“What are you doing?” The Little Spirit Fox showed an unhappy expression when its prey was snatched away.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Mcgee said in an educative tone, “This guy wants to die together with you.”

The Little Spirit Fox finally understood. He did not know why this guy wanted to make his body so huge. It turned out that he wanted to turn himself into a bomb.

Mcgee casually threw the knocked-out treasure chest guardian aside and then swaggered toward the golden treasure chest.

[Wind Guardian Blueprint * 1]

[Wind spirit stone fragment * 100]

[Stone material * 100]

[Wood material * 100]

…

“There’s nothing good here.” Mcgee no longer lacked basic materials. The Wind Guardian Blueprint was just an ordinary defense tower. It was better than nothing for the Alliance.

They continued to move on to the next treasure chest.

With the Gold-swallowing Beast that was sensitive to metal materials, Mcgee directly passed all the bronze and silver treasure chests and headed straight for the treasure chests that were above gold.

However, the items in the gold treasure chests might be useful to ordinary survivors. For example, the wind guard tower, which had special protection against wind-type familiars, could prevent his home from being directly hit by the tornado.

However, the enemies Mcgee had to face were too strong. He could not hide in his home forever.

After finding three gold treasure chests in a row, Mcgee received the basic rewards. Half a day had passed.

“Gold-swallowing Beast, look for platinum treasure chests.” Mcgee wanted to go directly to the highest quality treasure chests. He could not waste any more time on gold treasure chests.

The Gold-swallowing Beast nodded and sniffed on the ground like a puppy.

“Twenty kilometers over there. Have you smelled any metal?” The Gold-swallowing Beast pointed to the south and said.

“Okay.”

…

Half an hour later, they arrived at a desert location.

Speaking of which, it was very strange. After the arrival of season four, there was a dense forest everywhere. The lowest point was the grassland.

Why would there be a desert?

The theme of season four also came to life. It was the ‘spiritual wind’.

The spiritual energy underground was awakened. The subdued beasts that had absorbed the spiritual energy had achieved a significant increase in level and quality.

Unfortunately, this kind of spiritual energy was ineffective against familiars that had already signed a contract with humans. It should be the system’s restriction on the survivors.

After all, they had to survive, not earn points.

Tornadoes were common in the desert. It was already late, and Mcgee was hesitating whether or not to enter the desert.

However, the Little Spirit Fox could not wait to step into the desert.

It really wanted to find an opponent to challenge. After increasing its strength, it had not met an opponent that it could take a good look at, except for the evil God that was almost omnipotent in the illusion.

“Come on.” The Little Spirit Fox wagged its tails and called out to Mcgee and the Gold-swallowing Beast behind it.

“You really…” Mcgee held his forehead. He had completely forgotten about the self-detonation.

“There aren’t so many traps…”

Before he could finish his sentence, quicksand appeared on the ground.

He was ready to swallow the Little Spirit Fox.

“See…” Mcgee said helplessly. Fortunately, the Little Spirit Fox’s combat skills were high. The moment she was swallowed by quicksand, she used her skills to shoot flames at the center of quicksand.

The monster in the center of quicksand was obviously hit. He temporarily restricted the Little Spirit Fox’s feet.

The Little Spirit Fox jumped out of the trap and shouted at the quicksand, “They actually launched a sneak attack.”

In the center of the quicksand, a huge Beetle floated out. Its iron pincers were about the same size as Mcgee, and it looked very terrifying.

In its quicksand, there was a treasure chest that was flashing with a pale blue light. It was a platinum treasure chest.

“Get lost quickly! Otherwise, you will die here.”

[Shadow Stone Beetle]

[Attributes: Wind, darkness]

[Description: A hunter living in the desert. Specializes in dragging travelers into quicksand traps and then slowly hunting them. It’s an extremely efficient hunting method.]

Mcgee looked at the other party’s attributes. It was level 21, about the same level as the Little Spirit Fox.

However, in the desert, its combat strength would increase by 50%. It was also a difficult opponent.

The Little Spirit Fox’s belly was bulging. Before the Shadow Stone Beetle could react, a fireball rushed toward it.

The Shadow Stone Beetle was also a hunter. It pretended to let it go just now because it could not beat the Little Spirit Fox.

Therefore, it was always on alert. Since the Little Spirit Fox had taken the initiative to attack, it did not pretend anymore.

A sand wall appeared in front of it, blocking the fireball’s attack.

The Little Spirit Fox was only feigning attack. Ten fireballs were blocked in front of it, and more fireballs went around it from the side.

The Shadow Stone Beetle widened its eyes and looked at the fireballs flying toward it from both sides of its body.

“Bang!” A huge explosion came from behind the sand wall.

“Fight with me.”

“Quickly dodge.” Mcgee was the first to react and yelled at the Little Spirit Fox to dodge.

The Shadow Stone Beetle only pretended to be hit but in fact…

It was coming to the Little Spirit Fox’s feet through the underground tunnel.

The Shadow Stone Beetle broke out of the ground. This time, it did not use quicksand. Instead, it tried to bite the Little Spirit Fox with its iron pincers.

Fortunately, Mcgee warned the Little Spirit Fox, so she was on alert.

The Shadow Stone Bettle dodged its attack the moment it rushed out.

However, the powerful iron pincers still left a bloody mark on the Little Spirit Fox’s body.

Ever since the Little Spirit Fox had gained strength, she had always wanted to show it to Mcgee. That was why she showed her arrogance.

Mcgee was not angry. However, he had to let the Little Spirit Fox understand one thing.

Being weak was never a threat to survival.

Only arrogance was.

So, he decided to sit back and watch.

He would only attack when the Little Spirit Fox was about to be killed by the Shadow Stone Beetle.

The Little Spirit Fox rolled two rounds on the ground before he stabilized himself.

The Shadow Stone Beetle was already on the ground, and with its huge size, it pressed down on the Little Spirit Fox.

Its shell was very hard, so it would not be a problem to take two fireballs head-on.
