Flying Ceremony, Epic Treasure Chest!

Under the abundant energy fluctuations of the Shan Hai Painting card, the greedy appearance of the Western Dragon Race was on full display.

"The Western stories really do describe this monster aptly; they truly are a bunch of greedy, reckless creatures."

Unlike the positive image of dragons in the East, dragons in Western fantasy stories are mostly portrayed as obsessive and evil villains.

They have an unimaginable obsession with treasure, and at times they are incredibly shrewd, while at other times they are as stupid as pigs.

This is exactly what happened to the Abyss Winged Dragon named Zeta! Tempted by the Abyss Winged Dragon's expression, Su Mo slowly took a few more steps closer, bringing him within ten meters.

Once here, in the blink of an eye, Su Mo could pull out Type 80 Machine Gun and riddle the pterosaur with bullets, sending it to hell to slowly repent for its greed.

However, the rewards for the Gold Rank are less than one-thousandth of those for the Legendary-Class!

Seeing that the Abyss Winged Dragon was still unresponsive and unable to move, Su Mo slowly exhaled and continued forward.

Approaching within eight, five, or three meters, Su Mo glanced at the Abyss Winged Dragon, its eyes revealing a cautious yet eager glint, before scrutinizing its skin, which was covered in bloodstains. "This poor wyvern doesn't even have scales."

Su Mo stretched out one hand and touched it. Such an offensive gesture from the dragon did not anger the pterosaur. On the contrary, seeing that Su Mo did not attack, it lowered its guard.

"Humans, the Abyss Winged Dragon Race wish to forge a friendly alliance with you, provided you offer this card."

"The Abyss Winged Dragon Race will forever protect his friends!"

Seeing that the pterosaur was unable to move, its eyes were almost oozing greed, and after the occasional hint of killing intent, it was still spouting nonsense. In an instant, Su Mo removed the disguise from his face, pulled down his mask, and his expression was icy cold.

"Very well, Winged Dragon Lord, but before that, we need to perform our human race's Flying Welcome Ceremony."

Turning back to Zhong Qingshu's vicinity, in one round trip, using the Storage Space to move all the orange- Yellow Explosive packs, they placed them all under the pterosaur's body.

Still not reassured, Su Mo picked up the pterosaur, which was now almost half a person, and placed it in the center Explosive Pack.

Throughout the entire process, the poor little pterosaur looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Su Mo was doing.

However, the next part was the part he was most looking forward to.

After everything was tidied up and all three time fuses were properly connected, Su Mo took out the Shan Hai Painting card and gently stuck it on.

Whoosh! The gray-black starlight sensed the call of the energy carrier, just like a charger being plugged into a power strip. The energy began to connect, surging out from the card and gradually flowing into the pterosaur's body.

The influx of energy caused the Abyss Winged Dragon to tremble uncontrollably, and bursts of comfortable roars emanated from its still-developing throat.

Upon accessing the system, and seeing that the probability of the pterosaur advancing to the Gold rank had been maximized in just a few seconds of Energy Infusion, Su Mo decisively shouted:

"Ignition, ten minutes!"

Sizzle!

The moment Su Mo finished speaking, Zhong Qingshu, her expression tense and her attention focused, immediately pressed the lighter and lit the fuse.

The red fuse, which had been burning for ten minutes, began to burn slowly backward, with sections of the fuse tip bursting into flames.

Time fuses can be used in many situations.

But the way Su Mo used it in real combat is truly unprecedented and unparalleled! The Abyss Winged Dragon, absorbing energy, was completely unaware of the rapidly approaching fuse.

Swimming in an ocean of energy, waves of refreshing sensation washed over every part of his body.

"Ah~ Ha~ So comfortable!"

"All salvation requires death!"

Every time the pterosaur utters a "comfortable" sound, the progress bar on the System Panel will quickly rise a bit.

In less than two minutes, the chance of advancing to the Platinum Rank was also maxed out, and the Gold rank after the Pterodactyl rank disappeared, leaving Platinum as the lowest rank.

"We're running out of time! It's only a five-minute order, hurry up!"

The pterosaur's absorption rate was too fast; there were still more than seven minutes left in the ten-minute fuse, clearly not keeping up with the speed of evolution.

Fortunately, Su Mo had made three preparations, and with the five-minute fuse igniting, time became tight.

To arrive just before the pterosaur absorbs and evolves, and to have about a minute and a half to escape, requires extremely precise timing.

Three hundred pounds of Yellow Explosive, if within a 300-meter radius, would absolutely mean certain death.

Within a 700-meter radius, you will be caught by powerful vibration and shock waves, and if you're unlucky, you'll suffer serious injuries.

Only one kilometer away is a safe place! The epic energy bar of 42% to 51% is being poured in and soaring upwards. The energy in the Shan Hai Painting card is still full, and the amplitude of the starlight output on it has not changed at all.

At the same time, the pterosaur's body began to undergo tremendous changes, and a pair of yellow wings had fully grown.

When unfolded, it is about 1.5 meters long.

Moreover, the more energy there was, the more black and red dragon scales began to form on the surface of the pterosaur's body, which looked extremely solid.

"Three minutes!!"

The speed and direction of this evolution far exceeded Su Mo's expectations, but fortunately it was still within control.

With the fuse lit after three minutes, this time, looking at the energy bar, Su Mo started to do some fancy tricks.

Legendary Rank is definitely out of the question, but Epic level is more than enough!

Su Mo took the card back, and before the pterosaur could get angry, he took it out again and stuck it on the card to output energy.

Throughout the entire process, just as the pterosaur was about to roar and curse, Su Mo was always able to place the card in time. Although the energy supply was intermittent, there were no major setbacks.

With Epic progress at 100% Legendary-Class at 11%, feeling the abundance of energy, this greedy pterosaur indeed did not stop at Epic level, but continued to stride towards Legendary-Class! Starting to advance means that it cannot stop. Without energy, if the Abyss Winged Dragon wants to stay at Epic level, it will have to spend some time to continue to transform, and will still be in a state of being unable to control its body.

"Enough! Zhong Qingshu, let's go!"

After pulling out the Shan Hai Painting card and putting it back into his Storage Space, Su Mo decisively retreated and ran towards the motorcycle.

"Humans, energy, come back!"

The pterosaur, still enjoying its hot spring, suddenly discovered that its hot spring pool had disappeared. Watching Su Mo disappear into the distance, it was momentarily confused about what had happened.

Zhong Qingshu, who was in the distance, was quite clever. Seeing Su Mo running over, she took the lead in pushing the motorcycle up and opening the pedals.

Only after Su Mo stepped onto the car and Zhong Qingshu climbed in did Su Mo slam on the accelerator and unleash a thunderous roar! Whoosh!

Off-road Motorcycle have small cylinders, but their torque is incredibly high.

With the accelerator floored, the front of the car lifted high, and after the rear wheels slid on the ground for a while, they slammed back down due to inertia and sped away into the distance.

In just three seconds, relying on his powerful arm strength and control, the motorcycle's speedometer instantly broke through the peak speed of 100! This speed, this road, only in the low-lying area he was most familiar with, Su Mo had the confidence to do this! Behind him, a series of crazy roars and howls came.

However, due to its abundant energy, the Abyss Winged Dragon has once again begun its Legendary Rank advancement, and now it is time to act.

"Huh, what's this?"

Hearing the crackling sound in his ears, he curiously opened his eyes and looked at a yellow line that kept flying towards him.

The flickering sparks seemed harmless; if they weren't rapidly approaching, I wouldn't even bother to look at them.

"Damn humans, they're so cunning. Once I advance, I'll definitely..."

Without enough energy, there's no hope of reaching the Legendary Rank.

Just as the pterosaur was cursing and preparing to end its advancement and be fixed at the epic level, dawn broke!

A flash of light appeared in an instant, and before he could react, a roar that could be heard for dozens of miles around exploded beneath him.

Explosion! Boom! Wave! In that instant, human explosives possessed a power no less than that of a "forbidden spell" in the minds of the alien races!

During this process of energy compression and explosive release, the Abyss Winged Dragon didn't even have time to roar before losing consciousness and turning into nothingness! The land was ripped up by the explosion, and nearby rocks were blasted into dust!

Feeling the constant thrust from behind, and the falling pebbles from the sky.

Galloping across the wilderness, Su Mo couldn't help but turn his head, a hint of uncontrollable excitement flashing in his eyes.

Warriors often walk on the edge of a knife.

Even in ruins, this is no exception.

Only the most audacious can seize the most abundant share in every struggle for profit.

Riding the motorcycle for two kilometers, I executed a stylish drift and brought the vehicle to a smooth stop.

Looking up, a terrifying yellow mushroom cloud had already appeared in the distant sky.

The sudden compression of air, combined with the yellow toxic fumes of Picric Acid, creates a spectacular scene that is enough to fascinate any onlooker.

"This is the power of technology!"

Removing his mask and smelling the faint gunpowder smoke in the air, Su Mo's eyes were filled with emotion.

Holding Su Mo's waist and looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance, Zhong Qingshu had a simple mind.

"What a terrifying explosion! Hey, the monster's definitely dead!"

Such an explosion is unlikely to be seen in modern warfare; it is simply a piling up of explosives and the superposition of kinetic energy, which is not very efficient.

But it's more than enough to deal with the current situation!

"The monster we just encountered was an epic-level dragon. Defeating it will drop an epic treasure chest!"

Seeing Zhong Qingshu's simple-minded appearance, Su Mo slapped his forehead and, while waiting, began to instill some wasteland concepts in her.

"Monster levels are divided into categories, and item levels are also divided into categories."

"When we encounter ordinary monsters, we should first... but what about this kind of monster?"

After a while, seeing Zhong Qingshu trying hard to remember and racking her brains, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, gripped the handlebars, and headed towards the scene of the incident.

After the smoke and bombs cleared, a large depression in the distance sank again.

At the epicenter of the explosion, about 100 meters away, a deep crater was blasted out, and some toxic gas was still raging inside.

However, none of this attracted Su Mo's attention at all, because at the epicenter of the explosion, a treasure chest shimmering with a crimson light was dazzlingly bright! "Ruins are probably the most mysterious places in the wasteland!"

After stopping the car and signaling Zhong Qingshu to wait where she was, Su Mo pulled off his mask, touched his heart which was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst, and strode towards the treasure chest.

The highest level treasure chest I've obtained so far is only Gold Rank!

Compared to what's right now, it's a full two levels lower! These two levels aren't just the difference between Wooden Treasure Chest and Copper Treasure Chest; they're like heaven and earth!

The dragon's corpse had naturally disappeared. Approaching it, Su Mo resisted the urge to open the treasure chest and examine the items inside, and instead put it back into his Storage Space.

By this point, the gains from the ruins on this trip had already amounted to more than a hundred times the initial investment.

Even if you spend the next few days lying around on vacation, your strength will undergo a dramatic transformation upon returning to the main world.

"I only have one card I can take with me: either Ma Gu's Core or Epic Treasure Chest."

The answer is obvious.

After glancing at the two items in his Storage Space, Su Mo quickly made a decision!
