Chapter 151: Treasure hunting is not about fighting and killing

Under the "Curse of True Sight," there were no secrets in the New Southern Continent.

The only question was whether Lu Yao was willing to pay the corresponding cost of faith.

After the forest elemental creatures entered one after another, the entire southern continent was thoroughly explored.

Under Isabella’s command, the wolf pack searched every tree and every patch of grass, the lynxes checked the tree tops and cave entrances for any signs of life, and the jungle lizards ventured into the rivers and marshes to investigate anything suspicious.

This operation frightened the forest natives. The imposing presence of the transcendent creatures scared the local savages, who ran all the way to the coast to hide.

The locals wanted to escape, but outsiders were eager to come in.

Adventurers, scholars, and merchants from the Western Continent ambitiously arrived in this unclaimed land, seeking new wealth, opportunities, and knowledge... which led to a series of subsequent encounters.

The forest army conducted a thorough carpet search and found the culprit in the Elf Lake.

It was the tree nymph Jodi.

He wanted to observe first, see what this strange tree nymph was up to, and then decide how to deal with her.

......

......

This tree nymph was born in the entire symbiotic tree forest of the New Southern Continent. It can also be said that she is the transcendent will born from all symbiotic tree forests.

Lu Yao saw it.

The pixelated figure of Pawa appeared, leading to the appearance of the dwarf team and the Copper Sea, which had not been seen for a while.

Then the whole thing developed in a strange direction.

With Pawa and Jodi verbally entering into a marriage contract, the tree nymph Jodi had her own "history," and Pawa’s history gained a new item.

- At the age of 27, married the tree nymph Jodi and received the blessing of a divine miracle.

- At the age of 827, married the human Pawa and received the blessing of a divine miracle.

When a 27-year-old human meets an 827-year-old tree nymph, it doesn’t always mean that the human will be eaten.

Lu Yao was also a little curious.

In the past, the Salt Clan was born from the union of Saltgar and ordinary people. This time, the natural union of humans and tree nymphs, what kind of offspring would it produce?

With Isabella’s appearance, it expressed Lu Yao’s forgiveness and blessing.

Jodi hurriedly lifted the curse to prove her loyalty and reverence to the gods.

A reminder popped up in the simulator.

【The elf race has been won over by your greatness.】

【The fire of your faith has been ignited in the Elf Lake.】

【The elves will search for the most precious treasures in the Elf Lake to offer to you as a sacrifice.】

The apostle mark in the upper left corner increased by 1 again, becoming 4.

Lu Yao found that the population and faith had not increased. It seemed that these elves were still ordinary monsters and could not directly bring faith and population.

The Elf Lake revealed its complete appearance, becoming more full and abundant, with a curved rainbow appearing on the lake.

......

【Elf Lake】: A wonder built by the elf race.

Dying elves will return to the lake, and new elves will be born from the lake.

【Lake Treasure Chest】

The elves will create treasures in the lake, place them in treasure chests, and give them to friends with a close relationship with the elf race. The quality and generation speed of the treasure chest depend on the level of the wonder.

......

Holy crap!

Treasure chest monster!

Lu Yao decided to see what kind of things would appear in the treasure chests here.

He basically kept his view locked on the Elf Lake, occasionally switching to the temple to check on the situation of the apostles.

After waiting for about an hour and a half, the 【Lake Treasure Chest】 finally triggered.

An ordinary wooden box floated in the lake.

Lu Yao clicked the mouse.

The illustration of the wooden box appeared in the center of the screen.

As the box swayed from side to side, the lid automatically opened, emitting a burst of white light.

A silver-white gem popped out of the box.

......

【Moonstone】: A type of gemstone.

......

Lu Yao felt a sense of regret.

The treasure was a treasure, but it was not the faith equipment he wanted.

This gemstone couldn’t even be placed in the inventory, only selected with the mouse to be placed in various areas of the screen. It was just an ordinary treasure that the pixelated figures would like.

That being said, this was only a primary wonder, and it was unlikely to produce powerful items.But there was no doubt that the "Elf Lake" held great value for cultivation.

Lu Yao stuffed the moonlight stone into the box floating above the lake, causing the box to close once again and drift on the water’s surface.

He had a premonition.

Elf Lake would soon become a popular spot for adventurers to check in, after all, there were real treasures here.

While Lu Yao was still pondering, adventurers had already arrived.

Two pixelated figures saw the shimmering Elf Lake and the treasure chest in the water.

"Treasure!"

"It’s definitely treasure, right?"

"Let’s grab it first and talk later."

The two adventurers took out ropes and hooks from their backpacks, each choosing an angle, and tried to snag the treasure chest floating on the water with their grappling hooks.

However, the chest moved left and right on the water as if it were alive, continuously dodging.

Question marks appeared above the adventurers’ heads.

"Why is the treasure chest moving?"

"Could it be that it’s not a chest, but a monster?"

"It doesn’t seem like it. If it were a monster, we would have been attacked by now."

"Indeed."

"So, do we continue?"

"Of course we continue! Hurry up, it’ll be troublesome if others find out!"

They jumped directly into the lake and swam towards the chest. This time, no matter how the chest tried to evade, it couldn’t escape their capture and bear hug.

The two adventurers pulled the chest ashore, and large smiley faces appeared above their heads.

"Today’s a huge haul!"

"Open it!"

They began to pry the chest open with their hooks, their movements looking very practiced. This made Lu Yao a bit suspicious of their past professions.

Lu Yao clicked on the figures.

No wonder.

This was a duo formed after exchanging stories in prison.

Lu Yao looked down at the two little figures with interest, ready to give them a little surprise just as they succeeded.

Before the deity could make a move, two burly men burst out of the lake.

Each of these burly men was twice the height of a person, with green skin and bald heads, their muscles bulging. They flanked the two adventurers who were opening the chest.

The two little figures trembled with fear.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"In broad daylight, with the gods above, are you going to rob us?"

The two green giants slapped each adventurer and took the chest back into the lake.

Leaving the two adventurers standing there dumbfounded, question marks above their heads.

Lu Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

Those two green giants had the label 【Great Elf】 above their heads. They were a type of elf, much stronger than the smaller elves.

The treasure chest was floating in the lake, but the prerequisite for taking it was to have a good relationship with the elves; otherwise, this would be the outcome.

In the new era, there was a new way to hunt for treasure.

Treasure hunting was no longer about fighting and killing, but about understanding human relationships.
