Lizard Dragon Treasure

After the battle, Linsey definitely had a lot to show for it.

Not only did he create the [Emblem of Ice and Fire], but he also casually created the Ice Bomb, Ice Bullet, and [Ice Crest].

Like other elemental emblems.

The basic [Ice Crest] naturally increases cold resistance.

However, the route by which it is combined with other emblems belongs to another system.

[1 Ice Crest + 1 Extremely Cold Crystal = Extremely Cold Crest]

[1 Ice Crest + 1 Lightning Crest + 1 Flora Crest + 1 Metal Crest = Elemental Burst Crest]

"Elemental Burst..."

As the name suggests, this synthesis route is an offensive system, which is the complete opposite of the coordination route of earth, water, fire and wind.

"Sacrifice resistance enhancement and completely transform into an attack."

"Or rather, a magic rune that can switch between defensive and offensive functions?"

Linsey was somewhat concerned.

However, due to the lack of other materials on hand, he had no way of knowing the specific results after synthesis.

What's even more noteworthy is that the [Emblem of Ice and Fire] also has a subsequent crafting recipe.

"But this one is probably quite difficult."

[1 Emblem of Ice and Fire + 1 Sun Shard + 1 Moon Shard = Sublime Sun and Moon Seal]

"Meteorite fragments are one thing, but fragments of the sun and moon..."

Linsey looked up at the sky.

A full moon hung high in the dark night sky. The materials in the synthesis formula could be seen at any time, but they were definitely not something he could access right now.

For now, let's be realistic and focus on managing the tools at our disposal.

"The number of Ice Bullet and bombs... well... that's less than the number of fire-type ones."

"We don't need to hoard everything like a hamster, but we should try to be as frugal as possible..."

They were sorting out the spoils of the battle.

Linsey packed her now-full bag, preparing to say goodbye to this place.

Just like Kaldr who decisively left.

Although this swamp has already endured the wrath of the Dragon Beast, no one can guarantee that nothing else will happen in the future, so it is safest to leave as soon as possible.

Linsey casually opened the map.

The treasure map rewarded by the "Ice Crystal in a Temperature Difference Dilemma" quest will be automatically marked on the map.

"To be honest, this is the second time I've obtained a treasure map."

"Last time we found Purple Leaf Vine Branch, I wonder what we'll find this time..."

Linsey suddenly stopped in her tracks.

This is the second time he has obtained a treasure map since the World Boundary.

What Linsey didn't expect was that the treasure location marked on the map was not far ahead.

"So close?"

Linsey glanced ahead.

The pool where the Black Scale Lizard Dragon once lived has now turned into a muddy pit, which is exactly the location indicated by the treasure map.

"Tsk—"

Linsey smirked and could only frown as she forced herself to lie down inside.

Although the lake water has flowed underground through the cracks in the ground, the silt still adheres to the surface. In particular, there are many cracks of varying sizes hidden below, and if you step into one carelessly, you will at best be covered in silt, and at worst you will be buried in it.

Linsey also changed into the [Mountains Crest] before daring to stride forward toward the location where the treasure was buried.

Wait until the location and the treasure spot are completely aligned.

He then pulled out his Meteorite Pickaxe and began digging downwards.

Click—click—click—

Boom! After falling four or five meters, the soil below suddenly collapsed, and Linsey lost her footing and fell down.

A few seconds later, he crawled out of the mud.

The entire person had turned completely black, and with the Lizard Dragon's head, it was almost impossible to recognize a human form!

"Pooh!"

Linsey spat out a mouthful of dirty water.

He unfolded the map, pointing the exploration direction downwards, hoping to prevent such a thing from happening again as much as possible.

But the result is that beneath this lake, numerous fissures and caves, large and small, are as dense as an anthill. After the previous earthquake caused the lake water to flood in, it has been completely transformed into a complex underground swamp.

If it weren't for the map clearly marking that the treasure is below...

Linsey now 100% ready to turn around and leave, absolutely refusing to continue fighting this disgusting terrain.

"No wonder it's a secret treasure map."

"Hiding in this godforsaken place is far worse than the hiding places offered by Climbing to Heaven Vine!"

Linsey continued digging downwards.

Throughout the process, he kept checking the map to see the situation below, and occasionally he had to act as a porter, moving away the mud and water that were hindering the excavation.

They dug downwards for dozens of meters.

A question also arises from the monotonous and tedious labor.

Where did this treasure come from?

The reward offered by the treasure map is to reveal a hidden space for Linsey to find on her own, rather than providing a finished product directly.

The treasure itself absolutely existed in the world originally.

Rather than magical items generated during the operation of the Game Player rules.

This swamp is just an ordinary part of the vast landscape of the Black Mountain World; it makes no sense that it could harbor any rare treasures. The most likely explanation is that the Black Scale Lizard Dragon has hidden something here.

"A Fifth Stage Devil Beast hiding something here?"

"And it goes dozens of meters underground!"

Linsey was completely baffled.

As the jailer, the Black Scale Lizard Dragon is the absolute overlord of this swamp. Its loyalty to the Dragon Beast makes it impossible for it to be attacked unexpectedly, not to mention that a large number of Glacier Elemental submit to it.

"Even if you really wanted to hide something, there's no reason to put it in a place like this..."

Click! Just then, Linsey felt a different sensation in the Meteorite Pickaxe in her hand.

Something much harder was blocking the way below, and it didn't look like something a pickaxe could break! "What is that?"

Linsey raised an eyebrow and began cleaning the ground below.

Pulling up the map, the scene shown below is just an ordinary underground cavity.

Wait a few minutes, then clean up the area below.

The object blocking the Meteorite Pickaxe then appeared before Linsey's eyes.

This is a substance with a texture similar to jade, but it feels as cold as steel to the touch.

"This is the treasure?"

[Mineral/Material: Source Isolation Ice Jade]

[A rare ore possessing the property of isolating Essence; its material is extremely hard and is often used as a material for safes; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]

[Rare minerals, therefore valuable.]

"Isolate the Essence?"

"They're getting more and more mysterious!"

Linsey muttered to herself as she began searching for tools in her baggage.

A few minutes later, he realized what 'extremely hard' meant in the product description.

Meteorite Pickaxe, steel picks, and even Flame Bomb.

All the methods Linsey could use could at most leave a scratch on the Source Isolation Ice Jade.

There was even a steel pickaxe that broke after being struck several times! "A high-grade ore that even Meteorite Pickaxe couldn't mine."

"..."

Linsey touched her chin.

When one plan failed, he devised another.

Since the tools of the survival system can't handle this guy, let's start with reality. The method of burning and watering is an old human technique that has been used for thousands of years.

For this kind of treasure.

Linsey's attitude was simple and brutal. "I'm not leaving until I get you out today!"
