Chapter 320 All Magical Treasures Gathered
Chapter 320 All Magical Treasures Gathered
Yuan Bao gripped the bronze token left behind by Shadow Blade and rushed into the eighth floor of the Treasure Tower.
Her data synchronization rate had soared to 58%, and the reality in her field of vision kept intertwining with the code, giving her a splitting headache.
"Master! The opponents on the eighth floor are all top-tier players simulated by the system!" Little 9 anxiously scanned the surroundings. "We must win three matches to advance to the top floor!"
Yuan Bao took a deep breath and retrieved his current inventory of magical artifacts:
Heavenly Treasure (4/9)
Advanced magic item (7/25)
Intermediate Magic Item (12/30)
"We still need five more powerful magic treasures to complete the three sets..."
As Yuan Bao thought of the five missing items, the bronze token in his palm suddenly became hot.
She looked down and saw that the ancient patterns on the surface of the token were flowing as if they had been injected with mercury, projecting a holographic star map into the air.
"This is......"
The star map zoomed in continuously, eventually settling into a breathtakingly detailed "Guide to Collecting Heavenly Treasures".
Fifteen shimmering points of light are scattered throughout the instance, each with precise 3D coordinates floating beside it.
What's most shocking is the line of small vermilion characters on the side of the image:
"※Those with the ability to fly on a sword can ignore terrain limitations and directly reach the coordinates."
Xiao Jiu clung tightly to Yuan Bao's shoulder with her claws: "Wow! Young Master, this is practically a freebie! Luckily you completed your cultivation mission before, so you can use your sword-flying ability right now!"
The token suddenly vibrated, and a flashing message appeared:
Time remaining: 2 hours and 23 minutes
Yuan Bao stared at the fluctuating numbers on the star chart, his heart pounding faster.
This is much more efficient than fighting your way through the Treasure Tower! She quickly calculated—if she could collect all fifteen Heavenly Treasures and then return to the Treasure Tower, her points would definitely double!
“That Shadowblade kid did leave something good behind.” She smiled slightly, her fingertips lightly tracing the still-warm patterns on the bronze token.
The token seemed to sense her touch, vibrating slightly as if in response.
"Xiao Jiu, let's go!"
She opened the system map and precisely entered the first coordinate on the star map—
[Coordinates: Under the Qing Shi Bridge (X:274.89, Y:109.63)]
[Movement Method: Flying on a Sword]
"Whoosh——"
The sword light slashed through the sky and arrived in front of a long-neglected stone bridge in the blink of an eye.
Under the bridge, weeds grew rampant and vines entwined, and a bronze treasure chest, emitting a faint glow, was half-buried in the silt.
"It's well hidden." Yuan Bao flicked his fingers, his sword energy sweeping away the weeds, and the treasure chest popped open with a "click"—
[Obtained: The Heaven-Reaching Magical Treasure "Golden Light Mirror"]
[Effect: Can reflect one fatal attack]
The mirror surface was as clear as water, with ancient runes wrapped around its edges, and a mysterious halo flowed in the sunlight.
"A great start!" Yuan Bao put the mirror away with satisfaction, and the star map on the token was immediately updated, with the second coordinate flashing.
[Coordinates: Abandoned Ancient Temple (X:301.25, Y:87.42)]
This time, the destination was an abandoned temple, with only a rickety plaque remaining intact amidst the ruins.
Yuan Bao leaped into the air and landed lightly behind the plaque.
"Snapped!"
The moment her fingers touched the back of the plaque, a hidden compartment popped open, revealing a slender silver needle lying quietly inside.
[Obtained: Advanced magic item "Following Light Needle"]
[Effect: Can track the aura of treasures within a hundred miles]
The silver needle trembled slightly in her palm, its tip always pointing southeast—the location of the next treasure spot.
"Interesting." Yuan Bao narrowed his eyes. "It seems there's a resonance between these magical artifacts."
Xiao Jiu suddenly perked up her ears alertly: "My lord, there's an energy fluctuation in the southeast! It seems... there are other people searching for magical treasures!"
Yuan Bao gripped the Light-Following Needle tightly, and the tip of the needle suddenly began to shake violently—someone was interfering with the magic weapon's sensing!
"Looks like we're not the only 'treasure hunters'..." she sneered, leaping onto her flying sword. "Hold on tight to Little Nine, now—time's of the essence!"
The sword light flashed again, speeding towards the third coordinate.
The countdown numbers on the star chart are still relentlessly ticking:
Remaining time: 1 hour 59 minutes 48 seconds
A sword flashed, slicing through the clouds, and Yuan Bao rode the wind. The guiding needle trembled violently in her palm, pointing to the next treasure location—
[Coordinates: Broken Soul Cliff (X:332.17, Y:56.89)]
On a cliff face, a blood-red Ganoderma lucidum grows in an almost vertical crevice, surrounded by dark purple poisonous mist.
"It's 'Bone-Corroding Mist'!" Xiao Jiu's database immediately issued an alarm. "Contact will cause a 30% health loss!"
Yuan Bao calmly took out the newly acquired Golden Mirror from his robes and shone its surface into the poisonous fog—
"A rebound!"
The poisonous mist was completely absorbed into the mirror, then transformed into a beam of purple light that shot towards the boulder at the top of the cliff.
With a loud crash, the boulder split open, revealing the jade box hidden inside.
[Obtained: The Heaven-Reaching Magical Treasure "Blood Jade Lingzhi"]
[Effect: Instantly restores all status effects (limited to 3 uses)]
"Beautiful!" Yuan Baogang put away the treasure, and the light-following needle suddenly pointed due east with a "ding".
She looked up and saw a dark shadow rapidly passing through the sky ten miles away.
"There really is someone!" She lowered the light of her sword and used the clouds as cover to give chase.
The guiding light eventually pointed to a cluster of ancient tombs. As soon as Yuan Bao landed, he heard sounds of fighting coming from deep within the tombs.
"Hand over the 'Yin-Yang Compass'!" Three masked players were besieging a familiar figure—Shadow Blade's silver mask stood out conspicuously in the darkness.
Yuan Bao squinted.
Shadow Blade had clearly "disappeared," so how could this be...?
Without time to think, she flung out three silver needles.
The needle tip slithered through the air like a snake, precisely biting the masked man's wrist.
"Ah!" Amidst a scream, Shadow Blade seized the opportunity to snatch back the compass, appearing beside Yuan Bao in a flash: "Follow me!"
He dragged Yuan Bao into the main tomb chamber, and the stone door slammed shut.
The tomb wall is clearly engraved with a 3D map of the remaining seven treasure locations, with each location marked with its refresh time accurate to the second.
"The instance is experiencing specific interference," Shadowblade's voice was hoarse. "These coordinates change randomly every twenty minutes."
Yuan Bao looked at the Yin-Yang compass in his hand—the pointer was spinning wildly, eventually pointing to the bronze token at her waist.
"I see..." she exclaimed in sudden realization, "The token and the compass are a pair! Only by using them together can we lock onto the real-time coordinates!"
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously brought up the star map.
The search that followed turned into a thrilling race:
In the dark cave behind the waterfall, Yuan Bao used the Blood Jade Ganoderma to break the seal and obtain the "Mystic Ice Blade".
At the edge of the crater, Shadow Blade used the Yin-Yang compass to calculate the precise location of the "molten core".
With only 15 minutes left on the system countdown, they finally unearthed the last item at the ancient battlefield ruins—the "Seal of the God of War."
[Ding! All Heavenly Treasures Collected (15/15)]
Activate the hidden achievement "Searching Heaven and Earth"
[Bonus points +!]
The phantom of the Shadow Blade began to flicker: "Quickly return to the Treasure Tower... the top-level passage... can only be maintained..." Before he could finish speaking, his figure vanished into the wind.
Yuan Bao gripped the fifteen radiant magical treasures and soared into the sky on his sword.
