Chapter 2303: Chapter 1799: Three Treasure Chests, Opening Them Brings Surprises (Double-Length)

"Sis Xiaosheng, how did those magical skeletons appear?"

Su Ran was very curious about the appearance of these magical skeletons. It seemed that in this space, there were not only ghostly flames but also other undead beings, just not yet triggered.

"Those skeletons were hidden in the pile of skulls. As soon as I approached, they jumped out. Luckily, with Firebird around, dealing with them wasn’t too difficult. What’s up? Is there something wrong with these skeletons?"

Creampuff Xiaosheng was somewhat surprised that Su Ran asked about these skeletons.

"Nothing much, just mentioning it casually."

Su Ran didn’t say more and carefully embedded the skulls into the holes one by one. As for the smaller hole in the middle, he embedded the bone pearl there.

In an instant.

Wind and thunder roared, the earth shook...

Ahem, a bit exaggerated. Once the altar was completed, there wasn’t much commotion. In front of Su Ran appeared a newly refreshed oval-shaped teleportation light array, emitting a cool breath.

"Finally, we can leave this damned place!"

Creampuff Xiaosheng almost jumped with excitement upon seeing the teleportation light array. She had long had enough of the skulls and couldn’t wait to leave!

"Don’t rush, let me check with Thunder Bat first; it’s routine."

Su Ran did not enter rashly. Habitually, he summoned his Thunder Bat. In such unknown environments, it’s his life-saving rule to send Thunder Bat to scout for enemy presence.

Without waiting for Sis Xiaosheng to respond, Su Ran directly transferred his consciousness to the Thunder Bat and dove into the teleportation light array.

As the light flickered, the Thunder Bat appeared in an unknown space.

Su Ran looked around immediately, hoping to explore the terrain here before Thunder Bat encountered any danger.

Luckily.

The place wasn’t as dangerous as he thought, Thunder Bat wasn’t attacked, giving him enough time to observe. There were no other players around, the entire space was quiet, and not far in front of him was a stone staircase. Thunder Bat flew up along the staircase, discovering that the end was a cavern with a seated humanoid statue. From its color, it seemed to be a bronze statue.

Below this bronze statue lay three boxes made of gold, silver, and bronze, extremely noticeable. Su Ran immediately eyed the golden one, what excited him most was that none of these boxes were locked, easily opened. When he enters this space, the first thing to do is grab these treasure chests!

Even the Bronze Treasure Chest will do; take it all!

As for the seated bronze statue, it’s most likely the guardian BOSS of these chests. Judging by its face, it doesn’t seem to be one that can be easily provoked, best not to invoke trouble and risk being unable to escape later.

To obtain these three chests early, Su Ran positioned the Thunder Bat at a relatively safe location and returned his consciousness to his body, leading Sis Xiaosheng into the unknown space.

"Is this the third layer?"

Creampuff Xiaosheng looked around curiously, puzzled, "Overturning Water, how come there are no players here? There should have been quite a few players close behind us, have they all perished?"

"Who knows, there’s no sign or anything here; the system doesn’t give hints, and I don’t know where we’ve been teleported."

Su Ran didn’t dwell on these things, "What does it matter? No other players to compete with us is a good thing, right? Look over there."

After speaking, Su Ran pointed to the cavern, selling a small mystery.

"Stairs?"

Creampuff Xiaosheng looked up the stairs toward the cavern with curiosity, "What’s in that cave? It’s not another coffin, is it?"

"Can’t do without those things in tombs, either graves or coffins, you get used to it."

Su Ran grinned, "But what’s inside this cave isn’t a coffin; it’s actually a bronze statue."

"Bronze statue? You even have a Buddha statue; what’s the big deal about this!"

Creampuff Xiaosheng wasn’t surprised, retorting, "So you’re suggesting... getting your hands on this bronze statue?"

"Not at all, not at all."

Su Ran shook his head, explaining with interest, "My interest is in the three chests under the bronze statue—all unlocked."

"Treasure chests? Three? So many?"

Upon hearing this, Creampuff Xiaosheng, delighted, said, "No one has opened such obvious treasure chests yet, seems like other players haven’t been here, we’ve got the jump on them!"

"Does this mean... we’re not in the third layer space?"

With Creampuff Xiaosheng’s reminder, Su Ran realized they might have skipped more than one layer—understandably, starting with a difficult poison array, clearing all skeletons to obtain the bone pearl, then barely killing the ghostly flame to meet the altar’s embedding requirement, multiple layer teleportation is normal.

"Don’t dawdle, hurry up and open the chests; there’s no telling when someone might break in and we can’t miss this opportunity!"

Seeing Su Ran still hesitating, Creampuff Xiaosheng urged him, signaling to quickly open the chests to avoid someone getting there first and regretting it later.

"Wait for my good news!"

With confidence, Su Ran said this and directly stepped up, heading toward the cavern. When just three meters away, he activated the invisibility ability on the Illusion Ghost Ring.

[Ghost Hide] — Consumes a certain amount of magic value, allows invisibility. Different levels of invisibility consume different magic values: consumes 70% magic, high-level invisibility state; consumes 40% magic, medium-level; 10% magic, low-level, lasting 10 minutes; skill cooldown 30 minutes.

For safety, Su Ran chose the high-level invisibility, willing to waste some magic value rather than gaining the bronze statue’s enmity, satisfied with that.

No matter how good the treasure, it’s only valuable if you have the life to collect it!

After thorough preparations, Su Ran boldly entered the cave, heading directly for the three treasure chests. He first chose the most valued golden chest; if he could obtain the treasures inside, missing the other two chests wouldn’t be a huge regret.

Unfortunately.

The system wouldn’t let Su Ran have an easy win. The moment he touched the chest, surprise struck.

The treasure chest burst forth suddenly, transforming into a monster with a mouth full of teeth, attacking Su Ran.

"Oh no! It was a trick!"

Su Ran hadn’t anticipated the golden chest turning out to be a monster, catching him off guard. Even worse, because he actively touched the chest monster, the system deemed it an attack, invisibility naturally dissipated, wasting 70% magic value, and all was undone in seconds. Who can you complain to?

Faced with the chest monster’s assault, Su Ran suppressed his inner panic, quickly retreating and narrowly avoiding its strike.

Due to his rushed retreat, his steps were unsteady, almost colliding with the bronze statue, frightening Su Ran into the air, dispatching the Thunder Bat to draw the chest monster’s aggro, preparing to seize the opportunity to open the other two chests.

If he’d known this golden chest was a trap, he would have chosen the silver box first. Alas, greed’s fault!

There’s no medicine for regret in the world; choice was to face the reality.

Yet before the Thunder Bat could even fly over, the bronze statue began to tremble, shaking the ground like an earthquake, with increasingly strong vibrations, making Su Ran feel the cave could collapse at any time.

He didn’t dare stay in the cave, quickly retreating over ten meters away, watching the cave with a lingering fear.

He now understood that his actions awakened the bronze statue; judging by its entrance, the boss’s strength was certainly exceptional, not something he could handle alone!

Regarding the bronze statue’s identity, Su Ran had no clue, silently preparing for dangers to come.
