"After deducting 5%, there's just over 550,000 left. System, come on, I'm ready!" After returning to his residence, the first thing Yun Shu did was take out his bank card and prepare for the Lottery.

He had no plans to use the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for the time being. The Lottery came first...

"Ding! Lottery in progress..."

"Congratulations! You have obtained one mysterious Treasure Map!"

"A map?" Yun Shu stared at the Treasure Map in his hand in astonishment. He had not expected to draw this from the Lottery.

"Let me see..." Yun Shu unfolded the map and found the location marked on it.

"This is... Holy shit! The Monster Mountain Range?!" Yun Shu was shocked when he found the treasure's location. It couldn't be that cave dwelling Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor encountered in the original story, could it? That would be such a loss!

"No! I have to go take a look!" Seeing that it was not dark yet, Yun Shu hurried outside Wu Tan City, took out his airplane, and entered the map into its navigation system.

"It'll take three hours to fly there. Don't screw with me..." Yun Shu was terrified that the treasure location he had drawn would be the one Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor discovered in the original story.

Although the items inside were extremely valuable, it would definitely become his eventually as long as he followed the plot. Spending more than 500,000 Gold Coins on it now would be a massive loss if that was really the place.

After flying for three hours, Yun Shu finally arrived at the location marked on the Treasure Map. When he saw that there was no cliff there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Good, it was not that place.

This was also the outer region of the Monster Mountain Range, though it was already very close to the inner region. Fortunately, Yun Shu had flown in by airplane and had not encountered any magical beasts while traveling through the sky.

There were no living creatures at the airplane's flight altitude, though that might not be the case once he descended.

Yun Shu put away the airplane and hurriedly used a method to conceal his aura, avoiding detection by any magical beasts drawn over by the airplane.

After searching for around ten minutes, Yun Shu finally found the treasure site. It was actually a Teleportation Array!

A flash of white light passed by, and Yun Shu appeared in a pitch-black place.

Yun Shu quickly took a flashlight from his Storage Space and began examining the area.

"System, you didn't move this treasure site here from somewhere else, did you..."

A Teleportation Array! He had watched several seasons of anime and had never once seen one of these things.

He did not even know where he was right now. What if he had been teleported to another country?

The system ignored Yun Shu. He curled his lips and continued looking around.

Beneath his feet was a stone platform, somewhat like the fountain in a certain MOBA game.

It was covered in runes or something similar. Whether they were incomprehensible scribbles or actual writing, Yun Shu had no idea. In any case, he could not read them.

In front of Yun Shu was a cylindrical space of roughly fifty to sixty square meters.

"There are lamps!" When Yun Shu shone his flashlight on the wall, he discovered a ring of oil lamps mounted there and lit them one by one.

Who knew where the air came from in this completely sealed place...

That was probably just a feature of a fantasy world.

As the oil lamps were lit one after another, the space finally brightened. He no longer needed the flashlight to clearly see everything here.

Yun Shu swept his gaze around the strange space. Suddenly, a black object entered his sight, and his pupils contracted sharply. "Bones! Fuck, there can't be ghosts here, can there?!"

Directly ahead was a skeleton sitting on the ground with its back against the wall. It looked like it had been dead for a long time.

Yun Shu cautiously took out his pistol and slowly approached the skeleton. His eyes scanned its body, and he noticed two rings on its right index and middle fingers...

"Rings of Holding?" Yun Shu narrowed his eyes. He was not sure whether they were Rings of Holding, but if this skeleton had once been the owner of this strange space, then there was a ninety percent chance that both rings were Rings of Holding.

Yun Shu took out a stick from his Storage Space, smashed off the skeleton's right hand, then carried it over to himself. He was worried that the guy might have left behind some special trick before dying...

After placing the two Rings of Holding into the system's Storage Space, Yun Shu continued inspecting the skeleton. He did not immediately check what was inside the rings, intending to wait until he was completely safe before taking a look.

After stripping the entire skeleton with tools, Yun Shu still did not find anything like a fragmentary map or a Battle Skill Cultivation Method...

It seemed that the place Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor found had truly been a coincidence.

After confirming that there was nothing else on the skeleton, Yun Shu looked elsewhere.

Apart from a decayed table and chairs, there was nothing else.

"What rotten luck. Even if it isn't the same cave dwelling Xiao Yan found, at least give me some Ice Spirit Flame Grass. At the very least, learn from them and toss a few hundred thousand Gold Coins or a few treasure chests on the ground!" Yun Shu returned to the skeleton's side and grumbled at it.

In this entire strange space, there were only two Rings of Holding and nothing else of value.

"I should think about how to get back first..." Yun Shu returned to where he had been teleported in and began studying the Teleportation Array.

"Eh? Right, this Teleportation Array should be worth something too, shouldn't it?" Yun Shu suddenly said as he looked at the "fountain" beneath his feet.

"No, no... I should wait until I get out first. It would be bad if I got trapped in here!" Yun Shu began feeling around the walls. Finally, he found a hidden button in an unusual spot.

Click!

The next moment, white light lit up around him once more, and Yun Shu reappeared where he had previously found the treasure site.

"Fuck! Where's the Teleportation Array?!" Yun Shu had just been about to store the Teleportation Array away, but when he looked down, the stone slab that had teleported him away was gone.

"What a loss..." After digging three feet into the ground and finding nothing else, Yun Shu sighed.

He had not expected the Teleportation Array to be single-use.

It seemed that the system had been behind this too. Otherwise, how could the Monster Mountain Range have so many cave dwellings and ruins...

Yun Shu looked up at the sky and saw that it was gradually growing dark. He took out the airplane, flew back near Wu Tan City, and returned to where he lived.

"Hehe! Let's see what good stuff these two Rings of Holding have inside!" Yun Shu took the two Rings of Holding from his Storage Space and put them on.

Since their owner was already dead, the Rings of Holding were ready to use as soon as he put them on. Yun Shu waved his hand and dumped everything inside them out at once...

"Holy shit!!"
