Chapter 233 - 233 Golden Treasure Chest



“Be careful!” Canaan warned, “The Kantelu Maze is filled with traps and dangers. Sometimes, you might see a treasure in front of you, but in reality, it’s just an illusion, charging in will lead to your instant death!”

“Really?” Doubt filled Song Jian’s eyes.

“I wouldn’t lie to you. Of course, treasure chests also appear here, in all kinds of quality. It depends on your luck.” Canaan revealed a strange grin, adding, “As for whether it’s a trap or a treasure, that would depend on your discernment. If you can’t tell the difference or make accurate judgements, 1 suggest it’s better to act like you didn’t see anything.”

Song Jian slightly smiled and began to walk down the left corridor;

After turning a corner, Song Jian found that the corridor was just five or six meters deep and ended in a dead-end. Yet at the far end, there was a box emitting faint golden light, which was precisely the glow Song Jian had seen earlier.

“It’s a golden treasure chest!” Excitement flashed across Song Jian’s face.

“Be sure to identify it carefully. It could be a trap, or it could be a monster disguising as a chest…” said Canaan, the goblin merchant, as he joined Song Jian. He peered at the chest with a greedy gleam in his eyes.

“Since you have such high defense, why don’t you go and check?” Song Jian shot the goblin merchant a sidelong glance, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.

“Before calling it a trap or monster, you might want to wipe the drool off the corner of your mouth. That would make your warning more persuasive!” Song Jian smirked coldly and started walking slowly towards the chest.

However, after taking two steps, his body stiffened abruptly and he slowly backed away.

“What’s wrong?” Canaan, the goblin merchant, asked a puzzled Song Jian who had broken out into a cold sweat, fear in his eyes.

The goblin shot another glance at the chest, his eyes flickering with a faint purple light.

“There’s nothing wrong, it’s a real treasure chest…” Canaan thought to himself. As a goblin merchant, discerning the true value of an item is a basic skill. Naturally, Canaan had his own ways of identifying the authenticity of a chest.

Upon first seeing the chest, he knew it was a genuine treasure chest, a valuable golden one at that. He even used his Eye of Appraisal to confirm its authenticity;

However, Song Jian’s reaction puzzled him;

“Back off! It’s dangerous!” Song Jian murmured softly.

“You’re just scared because of what I said earlier, aren’t you? Haha, actually…” Canaan didn’t want to give up on this chest, so if this human refused to open it, the golden treasure chest would be his.

Just as Canaan was about to open the chest, Song Jian swiftly pulled him out of the corridor;

“Watch where you’re going, you idiot!” Song Jian grumbled

The Kantelu Maze is made up of a series of sewer lines spanning over three meters in width and five meters in height. Although some faint light is emitted from the algae on the walls, it’s hard for anyone to notice what’s above amidst the dim lighting of the corridor.

Following the direction Song Jian was pointing, Canaan’s gaze landed on the ceiling above the chest, immediately causing him to fall back onto the ground in fright;

Right above the chest, at the top of the sewer line, was a massive white spider web. At the center of the web was a colossal spider, its body measuring over a meter in diameter, resting.

Between the web and the chest was a thin strand of white spider silk. The moment someone opened the chest, the giant spider overhead would be alerted.

“LV20 Will-O’-Wisp (Elite), Vitality Points: 2300/2300, Spirit Points: 360/360, Characteristics: Brutal, Trap-laying,??, Skills: Will-O’-Wisp Burn, Spider Claw Strike, Spider Web Trap, ??”

“A Level 20 elite boss…” Canaan swallowed, backing away cautiously.

“What a pity. It’s a real golden treasure chest…” Longing filled Canaan’s eyes as even he hadn’t encountered a golden chest many times.

“If it were just a Level 20 ordinary monster, I could risk it, but an elite boss…” Song Jian frowned, contemplating how to defeat this elite boss. After pondering for a while, he eventually gave in with a shake of his head.

Canan reluctantly headed down another corridor, muttering under his breath, “A golden treasure chest, it was a golden treasure chest…”

Song Jian noticed Canaan making a mark on his handmade map, marking the corridor where the golden chest was.

The labyrinth’s interior was always dim, making it hard to tell day from night. However, Song Jian’s personal attribute interface displayed a countdown till the next time he could log out, so he could tell it was around 10:30 pm in the game time.

“Canaan, do we really have to explore this whole map to find these Kantelu Ruins you mentioned?” Song Jian couldn’t help asking.

“Of course not. I remember one time it only took me six hours to get through the maze because I found the Kantelu Ruins after exploring only a quarter of the map…” replied Canaan casually.

“What’s in the Kantelu Ruins that makes you keep coming back?” Song Jian couldn’t help asking.

“It’s a magical place, once the dwelling of the Kantulu Clan. Although it’s now deserted, a prayer altar they built still remains and can…” Canaan suddenly stopped, looked at Song Jian, and turned away, saying, “You’ll know when we get there. You’re lucky this time to discover this secret. Without me guiding you, you wouldn’t have even found the entrance here. Do you think any random sewer entry in the city leads to the Kantelu Maze?”

“You mean the entrance changes along with the movement of the Kantelu Maze?” Song Jian asked.

“Of course, even 1 have to put in some effort to find the entrance each time. Other people have no hope of finding it!” Canaan gave Song Jian a glance and burst out laughing.

Just then, they both heard faint sobbing of a girl echoing from the corridor ahead. The crying reverberated in the corridors, sounding somewhat eerie.

“How can there be anyone else here?” Canaan’s face darkened. No sooner had he claimed that no one else could find the entrance than someone appeared to have found it earlier than they did.

“Be careful, something doesn’t feel right.” Song Jian gripped his sword tightly and cautiously moved forward.

Soon, they saw a little girl in white pajamas crouching in the middle of the corridor. Her hands were wrapped around her knees, her head buried deep between her legs, leaving only a head of long hair scattered around;

Her shoulders quivered slightly, sobbing sounds softly escaping her.

“Damn, how can there be a little girl here?” Canaan’s face turned ugly. His eyes glowed purple as he studied the little girl.
