Treasure Map
"Master, where do we go next?"
As Bao Bao walked, it asked a question.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Fan, who was on his back, looked up at the rolling, cloud-shrouded Monster Mountains ahead, his slender fingers gently stroking his smooth chin.
The main reason for entering the Monster Region this time is for three things.
Now that the Fairy Fish has made a pact with him, this important matter has come to a successful conclusion.
This left him with only two crucial matters.
First, to completely break the ancient seal that has been sealed on the Dragon Token for so long.
Secondly, follow the clues to find the treasure corresponding to the Treasure Map.
Xiao Fan's original plan was to first remove the seal on the Dragon Token and obtain the Divine Dragon Inheritance.
But now he has Bao Bao as his unique guide.
Bao Bao is very familiar with the terrain and landscape of the Monster Region, so finding the Treasure Map shouldn't be difficult with her around.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan immediately changed his mind.
First find the treasure, then break the seal on the Dragon Token.
This treasure was a rare item he had spent a huge amount of contribution points to obtain. A treasure worth so many contribution points must contain some pretty good opportunities.
Xiao Fan's eyes brightened slightly, and with a thought, he lightly touched the Space Ring he was wearing with his fingertips.
Then, a neatly folded, antique-looking drawing of extraordinary material quietly appeared in his palm.
This Treasure Map is not made of ordinary paper. It is made from the hide of some ancient mythical beast. It is a deep dark ochre color, and the leather is tough and delicate. Despite the passage of time, it has not been damaged or aged. Instead, it is surrounded by a faint, warm glow. It is slightly cool to the touch and carries an ancient and distant aura.
Xiao Fan slowly unfolded the blueprints completely, laid them flat on the Bao Bao, and lowered his eyes to carefully examine them.
On the drawing, the patterns are not rigid lines deliberately drawn by humans, but rather resemble naturally formed veins. The ink patterns of varying shades meander Zong Heng, outlining the complete landscape of the entire Outer Realm Monster Mountains.
Towering mountains, deep valleys, streams and swamps, and places where Monster Beast gather are all marked with extremely simple yet precise patterns, lifelike and without the slightest error.
At the very edge of the drawing, there is a circle of fine and intricate ancient cloud patterns, the patterns swirling and Entangle, faintly forming a hidden protective array. In the very center of the drawing, where the entire mountain range converges, there are not mountains, rivers and lakes, but a hidden valley shrouded in layers of Black Fog patterns.
The pattern in that area was extremely unique, completely different from other places.
The surrounding landscape is realistic, but here stands a lifelike beast head.
For some reason, Xiao Fan felt that the beast head looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed, confirming that this was indeed the location of the treasure.
"Bao Bao, do you know this location?"
Xiao Fan jumped off the Bao Bao and spread the map on the ground.
Bao Bao quickly stepped forward.
Looking at the Treasure Map, a hint of confusion flashed in Bao Bao's eyes.
"It looks a bit complicated."
"No rush, take your time looking at it."
The Bao Bao placed its paws on the map, examining it closely, before a look of seriousness finally crossed its face.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan asked curiously.
"How about it? Can't find it?"
Bao Bao shook his head. "I roughly know where the Treasure Map is. But that place..."
Bao Bao paused here, his tone heavy.
"The Treasure Map's location is a bit dangerous."
Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised. For Bao Bao, a level 300 Magic Beast, to say that the location of the Treasure Map was somewhat dangerous could only mean one thing.
The Treasure Map depicts a region inhabited by high-level Monster Region.
Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment; the high-level Monster Region was still very dangerous for him.
Seeing Xiao Fan's expression change drastically, Bao Bao knew that he had already guessed the location of the Treasure Map, so he spoke again.
Master, if I'm not mistaken, the location marked on the map is Sunset Glow Valley. It's very remote, shrouded in thick fog, and inhabited by many high-level Magic Beast —it's very dangerous!
"The Sunset Glow Valley is located in the heart of the middle layer of the Monster Mountains, in an extremely secluded location. The entrance to the valley is hidden by towering ancient trees and dense vines. I've only passed through there once by chance, so I'm not very familiar with the place."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment.
The location of this Treasure Map was much more difficult to find than he had imagined; even Bao Bao wasn't familiar with it. He was pressed for time, and digging for this Treasure Map would likely waste a lot of his time.
Should he go, or not?
However, it's also true that the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities it holds.
This dangerous place might hold an even greater treasure.
Just as Xiao Fan hesitated, Zijin's voice came from his mind.
"Jiu Chen, you can go if you want. I'm here, you won't be in danger."
