Treasure Map 0

A powerful pulling force struck, and the scene before his eyes spun around. But in just a moment, the dizziness subsided, and Xiao Fan's feet firmly touched the ground.

He quickly steadied himself and looked around.

Beneath our feet lies an ancient path paved with moss-covered Blue Stone, from which patches of unknown, dark green grass sprout from the cracks in the stones. The path winds its way into the depths of the dense forest.

Ancient trees tower all around, their lush foliage obscuring most of the sky, with only dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

The air was filled with the damp scent of earth, mixed with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and from time to time, strange roars of beasts echoed from the distant forest, lingering in the quiet mountains.

Just as Xiao Fan finished observing his surroundings, subtitles suddenly appeared in front of him:

[You have successfully entered the Solo Instance <Treasure Map>]

[Secret Realm Quest: Follow the clues on the Incomplete Treasure Map to find the buried treasure.]

[Secret Realm Warning: This secret realm is fraught with traps, mechanisms, and strange beasts. Danger lurks alongside treasures; please remain vigilant at all times.]

[Secret Realm Time Limit: 24 hours. Failure to leave within the time limit will result in forced expulsion from the secret realm.]

"Huh? This Solo Instance actually has information."

This was the first time Xiao Fan entered the secret realm, and a prompt appeared.

"It seems the quest for this Treasure Map secret realm is quite simple: find the hidden treasure buried here."

But...

Xiao Fan stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a yellowed, curled, and Incomplete Treasure Map, which had suddenly appeared in his palm after the mission was issued.

Xiao Fan opened it and examined it carefully. Some of the patterns on the drawing were already blurred, with only a dark red guiding line that was slightly warm, pointing towards the depths of the ancient road.

As the mission description states, this is an incomplete Treasure Map.

The quest description also mentions that the secret realm contains traps and strange beasts, and more importantly, there are threats even near the treasures.

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.

"According to the clues, this secret realm should contain more than just the secret treasure; there should be other treasures as well."

Xiao Fan was overjoyed. If this secret realm could yield not only secret treasures but also other valuable items, that would be fantastic for him.

"I knew digging up this Treasure Map would be this difficult; the reward must be substantial."

Finally, the secret realm lasts for only 24 hours.

If he fails to complete the task, he will be kicked out of the secret realm, and the Treasure Map will be wasted.

After reading the subtitles in front of him, Xiao Fan looked up and found a countdown timer had appeared in front of him.

23:59:20

"Time is running out, I need to hurry."

Xiao Fan glanced at the Incomplete Treasure Map.

"The clue is just ahead."

Xiao Fan carefully put away the Treasure Map, his expression solemn. After thinking for a moment, he chose to Full Body Armor Transformation.

Although there is no boss in the Solo Instance, the system prompts clearly state that there are countless traps and strange beasts, and you can still lose your life if you are not careful.

Having prepared everything, Xiao Fan slowed his pace and made his way forward along the mossy ancient path.

Before we had walked more than a hundred meters, the bushes by the roadside suddenly rustled!

"What is that??"

Xiao Fan tensed up, gripped his weapon tightly, and stared intently at the bushes.

Suddenly, several gray-black hyenas with bared Tusk and sharp Claw Hyena leaped out of the bushes. Their scarlet eyes were fixed on Xiao Fan, and they growled in a low voice, drool dripping from their sharp Tusk.
