Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 107, Treasure Map Completed

Lin Yue began to quickly calculate in her mind that she was only one piece away from collecting all the treasure maps, number 26. And this Lin Chenguang, who clearly had so many good things, was still so obsessed with this last fragment, which must have an extraordinary significance.

Moreover, judging from his attitude, the fact that the treasure map fragments were the last thing he was willing to give up proves that once the complete treasure map is pieced together, its value will definitely be more precious than all the rare resources he just gave up!

Having figured this out, Lin Yue made up her mind and began to try her best to reply to Lin Chenguang's message.

However, after being exposed to the scorching heat of the lava for so long, her body was already exhausted, and her fingers were weak and powerless, as if they weighed a ton, and every movement required a great deal of energy.

Adding to the difficulty was the hardened crust formed on her sleeves from repeated soaking and drying with sweat, making it extremely difficult for her to operate. It took her a great deal of effort to finally manage to click on the reply box.

Lin Yue: "I'll give you No. 13 in exchange for No. 26, top-grade fertilizer, and a teleportation talisman!"

The operation was too difficult, so Lin Yue could only keep it as brief as possible. Lin Chenguang on the other end seemed to have been waiting, and he replied almost immediately.

Lin Chenguang: "!!!"

He seemed taken aback by Lin Yue's appetite and couldn't help but curse three times in a row:

Lin Chenguang: "Greedy beyond measure!"

Lin Chenguang: "Blinded by greed!"

Lin Chenguang: "Shameless!"

Lin Yue was in no position to reply at the moment, but was just holding on with a "do or die" mentality. Seeing this, she remained unmoved and simply replied, "Will you change it or not?"

After a brief moment of anger, Lin Chenguang ultimately succumbed to his desire for the treasure map fragment, replying fiercely with a single word: "Exchange!!!"

Lin Yue struggled to open the trading window. Her fingers trembled so much that she made several mistakes, and the sweat dripping from her forehead blurred her vision.

After a long wait that made Lin Chenguang impatiently urge them on, the transaction between the two was finally completed.

Lin Yue immediately prepared to use the teleportation talisman to run away, and then she saw the 26th fragment she had just acquired slowly drifting into the air on its own.

Not only the 26th, but the other fragments that were originally quietly placed in her bracelet bag also floated out one after another as if summoned!

This sudden turn of events froze Lin Yue's hand in place. In just two seconds, the fragments flying in the air seemed to be manipulated by an invisible pair of skillful hands, quickly reassembling themselves into a complete treasure map.

Then, the treasure map began to shrink slowly, until it was only the size of a palm, and then it floated back above Lin Yue's head. Immediately afterwards, a beam of white light shone straight down from the treasure map, enveloping Lin Yue completely.

The instant she was enveloped in the white light, the scorching heat around her seemed to be instantly dispelled by a powerful force, quickly moving away from Lin Yue's body.

In that instant, Lin Yue felt as if she had been freed from all the suffering of the world, her whole body felt light and airy, and her mind went blank for a brief moment. She almost thought she had died, which was why her soul had left her body and she had lost all sensation.

But soon, Lin Yue snapped out of her daze.

The treasure map acted like a barrier, its faint white light effectively isolating her body from the terrifying heat around her.

Moreover, this treasure map seems to be exceptionally intelligent, with temperature control just right. Even with five fire-avoiding stones integrated into Lin Yue's body, the surrounding temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, but just the most comfortable and pleasant temperature.

Lin Yue suddenly seemed to come alive and immediately understood why Lin Chenguang had gone to such lengths to find all the treasure maps.

It turns out that this treasure map is not only a guide, but also a safety guarantee for players to venture deep into the volcano.

Protected by the white light, Lin Yue was finally able to see her surroundings clearly. Only then did she realize that hidden in the center of the churning, surging lava was a path more than a meter wide.

The road was narrow but straight, and seemed to lead vaguely into the depths of the volcano.

Just then, the Sky Wings on Lin Yue's back began to flicker, appearing and disappearing intermittently—a warning that their usage time was almost up. Lin Yue didn't dare delay and quickly controlled her body, slowly landing on the road.

The moment Lin Yue stepped onto the road, the treasure map seemed to sense that she was on the right track. It spun merrily twice in the air before slowly drifting forward.

Its speed was neither too fast nor too slow; it was clearly leading the way.

Lin Yue quickly followed, afraid that she might accidentally slip out of the protective range of the white light. But as soon as she took a step, she was stopped in her tracks by the hardened shell of her clothes.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and quickly called out, "Treasure map, wait!"

Amazingly, the treasure map seemed to possess sentience; upon hearing Lin Yue's call, it actually slowly came to a stop.

Lin Yue was overjoyed. She looked around and saw that she was all alone. She made up her mind and quickly summoned four "Wall-nuts" from the Plants vs. Zombies game to block her way. Then she squatted down and quickly changed all her clothes.

Thanks to Xu Tiantian, ever since Lin Yue gave her the lingerie set she got from the airdrop as a reference, she used her sewing skills to make several similar outfits for Lin Yue to change into. Now that Lin Yue had changed into a completely different set, she finally felt much more comfortable.

Her mood brightened, and she put the "Nut Wall" back into her bracelet backpack and began to follow the treasure map deeper into the volcano.

As she ventured deeper, the surrounding lava seemed to lessen in its ferocity. The scorching red liquid continued to flow slowly, but it had lost some of its previous terrifying power that could instantly engulf everything. Lin Yue's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to carefully observe her surroundings.

The rocks on both sides of the road, baked by lava for a long time, have a peculiar dark red color, and their surfaces have fine lines that look as if they were outlined by flames. After walking along this road for another forty or fifty meters, Lin Yue saw a downward cave in front of her. The entrance was inconspicuous and looked like a cellar.
