Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 113, Zhao Yuxuan Dies, Treasure Hunt

Lin Yue was prepared; she tilted her head slightly to dodge the incoming dart. Then, she coldly looked at the person beneath her. Because his neck was being strangled, his face was flushed red, making him look somewhat ferocious.

Lin Yue scrutinized him carefully, then scoffed lightly, loosened her collar slightly, and uttered three words indifferently: "Zhao Yuxuan?"

Lin Chenguang was behind him, so the only person who could be here at this moment was Zhao Yuxuan, who had entered in the morning.

Lin Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of understanding and disdain flashing in them. She had been wondering how he had managed to pass the bat challenge so easily. It turned out he hadn't even tried to challenge it; he had simply been hiding to the side, quietly waiting to reap the benefits.

The damage value of the Magpie Feather King Dart is not low. Lin Yue threw this dart in a fit of rage and it was very vicious. At this moment, blood was still gushing out of Zhao Yuxuan's back, staining his clothes blood red, which was shocking.

When Zhao Yuxuan heard Lin Yue call his name, he nodded with difficulty, a hint of tears welling up in his eyes, and a trace of affection seemed to be hidden in his gaze.

"vomit…"

Clearly, the situation was completely different from what Zhao Yuxuan had anticipated.

He has always been quite confident in his looks. With his handsome face, whenever he looked at his ex-girlfriends with those seemingly innocent yet affectionate puppy-dog eyes, they would always soften and let him have his way.

He had previously been invincible against the female players in the team, and even Wang Wanru's 500+ points were earned by using his looks as a stepping stone. However, Lin Yue was clearly an exception.

Looking at Zhao Yuxuan's affected demeanor, she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach. The apples she had just eaten seemed to be stimulated, and one piece after another surged from her stomach to her throat.

Lin Yue tried to hold it in, but she couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited with a "whoosh"...

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan's neck was tightly strangled by Lin Yue, and his previous desperate struggles had been ineffective. Now, as time passed, his strength was gradually fading, and he had very little energy left in his body.

Lin Yue's sudden vomiting, with bits of apple mixed in, instantly rained down on his face and head, emitting a fermented fruity smell. Lin Yue watched expressionlessly as Zhao Yuxuan's flushed face gradually turned from red to purple, until it resembled a ripe eggplant.

The apple pieces slid down Zhao Yuxuan's forehead and cheeks, almost landing on Lin Yue's hand that was tightly gripping his collar. Lin Yue frowned in disgust and instinctively loosened her grip.

"Snapped-"

The human body plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud. The sound wasn't loud in the empty cave, and a moment later, a system notification came through:

[Kill player Zhao Yuxuan, gain 1153 points. Do you want to collect Zhao Yuxuan's supplies?]

Lin Yue's eyes remained calm as she quietly looked at the completely still bodies below and slowly said, "Yes."

[Obtained Treasure Map*1, Summoning Order*1, Short Sword (Common)*1, Short Boots (Fine)*1...]

Zhao Yuxuan, as expected of the leader of the Mighty Team, had far more items on him than Li Guang. Lin Yue put away her things and then quickly walked towards the mouth of the stone statue.

As soon as she stepped across the threshold, the treasure map in her backpack seemed to be pulled by something and flew out automatically once again, its soft light enveloping Lin Yue's entire body.

Nevertheless, Lin Yue was so dazzled by the sight before her that she almost couldn't open her eyes. She felt as if she were in a giant furnace, the intense red constantly assaulting her vision, making her dizzy.

Although the treasure map had withstood the high temperature, she still felt unbearably hot all over, as if every pore was absorbing heat.

Having spent so much time in the darkness, Lin Yue had almost forgotten that she was inside a volcano.

Lin Yue followed the treasure map with a tense expression, but to her surprise, the journey was surprisingly smooth.

Lin Yue followed the treasure map with a tense expression. The journey was surprisingly smooth. There were no attacks from other animals or strange traps to block her way. When she reached the end of the road, the treasure map disappeared into a colorful light curtain.

The light curtain shimmered and dazzled, and Lin Yue didn't dare hesitate, quickly following it inside.

This light barrier seemed to be a more advanced barrier than a treasure map. The moment Lin Yue stepped into it, she felt a cool and gentle force instantly envelop her. Immediately afterward, she felt as if she had been washed clean, all her fatigue and wounds vanished, and she felt completely refreshed.

Not only that, even her clothes seemed to have been cleaned and refreshed; the dust and bloodstains were gone, and they became soft and comfortable again.

This feels... kind of like an upgrade?

Lin Yue quickly opened her personal panel and saw that, sure enough, her level had changed to level 3!

However, she still had 2396 experience points, which means that this level up did not consume her experience points, but was just a pure reward.

That light screen is really a great thing!

Lin Yue immediately became happy, and then, thinking of the summons she had just received from Zhao Yuxuan, she felt a surge of excitement.

He reached for the summons and saw that it clearly stated: [Special Area, Not for Use!]

Well, Lin Yue sighed slightly. It seems that taking advantage of the system is not so easy after all.

Lin Yue put away the summons and continued walking forward.

The area within the light barrier wasn't large, yet it exuded an air of mystery. Directly in front, two gleaming golden treasure chests sat quietly; their appearance alone revealed them to be extraordinary. Compared to the silver treasure chest Lin Yue had found in the stone house, both their materials and shapes appeared far superior.

A gleam of excitement immediately lit up Lin Yue's eyes. After overcoming numerous hardships and obstacles along the way, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

She quickened her pace, and when she reached the treasure chest and was about to open it, she discovered that where the lock should have been, there were two square grooves on the front of the golden treasure chest.

Lin Yue crouched down slightly and observed carefully. Judging from its shape and size, it must be the place where the treasure map was kept.

What a coincidence, this is not it!
