Older students mostly use the "door key" to access floors ten and below.
This left the safe zone between the third and tenth floors empty; the magical marker for the third floor was a seven-colored totem pole carved with strange patterns.
After completing his collection, Dak rested for half an hour on the third level. When the crowd gradually increased, he embarked on his treasure hunt again!

Chapter 579 The Ultimate Harvest (5k)
The glowing moss in the dungeon adjusts its brightness over time. Between 6 and 8 p.m., the light gradually weakens, and after 8 p.m., it becomes extremely dark.
Students who enter the dungeon generally refer to it as the dungeon's twilight and night.
As dusk falls, some of the nocturnal ferocious monsters gradually become active, greatly increasing the danger in the dungeon.
Professor Nini repeatedly mentioned in her "Warcraft Studies" that it is essential to return to the safe zone before nightfall.
Even though the safe zone isn't truly safe, the magical energy fluctuations emitted by the magical markers do repel most monsters. Even if you start a fire and cook here, you won't attract a monster swarm.
Of course, she always read the text aloud in a monotone manner while holding the textbook.
Darke followed the same path again on the third floor and finally found the staircase entrance to the fourth floor before dusk.
Perhaps because it was approaching dusk, a few more people returned to the safe zone.
At the entrance to the fourth floor, a few small groups of people were scattered around. Some were eating and talking loudly on the spot, while others took out branches they had collected and built a campfire.
Whether or not you plan to travel at night, you need to eat at mealtimes to conserve your energy.
The magical marker in the center of the area is a statue of a girl holding a candlestick. The candle on the candlestick burns continuously, emitting a soft glow that casts extremely long shadows on those around her. vipkanshu.com...
The atmosphere inside and outside the entrance is completely different.
As soon as Dak stepped inside, his entire body and mind relaxed.
Although he knew he still needed to be cautious within this safe zone, he couldn't help but let his guard down.
The students who had arrived earlier glanced at the newcomers, then turned back and whispered among themselves.
Today marks the first time second-year students will venture into the dungeon for an adventure, and lone wolves like Dark are quite rare.
But his appearance had already spread throughout the academy, so people would feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing him, and after a moment's thought, they would recognize him.
Someone who can win the dueling tournament from first to third grade naturally doesn't need anyone else to worry about them.
This is only the fourth level of the dungeon.
Dark relaxed and led several magical sprites to the magic markers. After collecting the items one by one, he found an open space nearby and sat down.
He reaped a great harvest on the third level of the dungeon.
Although they still couldn't find any trace of the "Holy Sword," they successfully found two treasure chests.
If this got out, it would make people so jealous their teeth would fall out.
The first treasure hunt still relied on "Trash Slime I's" "treasure sense," but instead of finding a treasure chest, it found a crystal ore unique to the dungeon.
The powder made from this crystal ore is an essential material for crafting "Dungeon Storage Boxes". However, because there are quite a few of them, they can be bought relatively cheaply in Traveler's Street.
After careful consideration, Dak was convinced that it wasn't worth wasting his storage space, so he simply threw it away.
Then, he once again found a treasure chest by relying on the "Greed" attribute of "Trash Slime II".
This time, the treasure chest is hidden in an extremely secluded L-shaped alley, guarded by a five-star monster.
But after Leomon killed him, Dark successfully obtained the treasure chest.
The treasure inside the chest was a fist-sized pearl.
The pearl was crystal clear, with a tiny, embryo-like object hidden in the center.
After careful observation, Dak confirmed that it was a special item called "Bio Orb".
Its structure is somewhat similar to that of amber fossils, with a pearl encasing something like a biological embryo containing all the genetic information of a specific organism.
Biological gems are extremely rare.
However, the value varies greatly depending on the species within the pearl.
To ordinary people, these items are merely expensive collectibles. But in the hands of a mage, they are the "code of life."
Mages can study biological orbs to reconstruct the prototype of the species within them and replicate them by refining them into magical spirits.
The targeted transmutation formulas for some ancient species that have long been extinct were developed using this method.
Dark was overjoyed and immediately activated his "Eye of Truth" to examine it. He was even more surprised to find that the biological orb in his hand was actually more valuable than the magic brain dropper!
So he immediately put it in the very center of his backpack and carefully hid it.
After that, he didn't stop, but pulled out another "Greed II" card - he had two "Greed II" cards.
Under the effect of the second "Greed II" card, "Trash Slime" evolved into "Trash Slime I", which immediately triggered "Treasure Smell".
It turned out that a hidden door was hidden not far from the treasure chest.
After solving the puzzle, Dark found the second treasure chest in the hidden room!
The second treasure chest was two meters high and three meters wide, and it took the lion beast wielding the holy sword to successfully cleave it open.
Dark almost thought there was a giant treasure chest monster hidden inside.
But in reality, the treasure chest only contained a wooden carving.
The wooden carving was about twenty centimeters tall, depicting a human figure sitting cross-legged on the ground, and it looked somewhat like a deity. However, Dark did not sense any divine aura from it similar to that of the Moon Goddess statue.
Knowing he had encountered another knowledge barrier, he simply used the "eye of truth" to measure it directly.
From the perspective of the "Gate of Truth," the value of this wood carving is probably somewhere between that of the Insect Tree and the Cat Grass.
In other words, it should be slightly higher than a crescent moon pendant.
……
After sitting down, Dak took out a palm-sized notebook from his bag and began to summarize what he had learned that afternoon.
Excluding materials obtained from hunting monsters and special herbs discovered and collected by chance along the way.
Then, according to their value under the "Eye of Truth," they are sorted from lowest to highest as follows:
① Magic Diamond (20)
【Insect Tree】
②Crescent Moon Pendant
③ Bottled medicines
④ Wood carving
Cat grass
【Magic Dropper】
⑤ Bio-beads
"I must say, it truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure found in a treasure chest."
A hint of pleasure appeared on Dak's face.
What could be more satisfying than compiling statistics?
In just the first three levels of the dungeon, he found a total of five treasure chests, some of which contained rare items such as "Bio Orbs".
He couldn't wait to find out which kind of monster the genetic information recorded in this biological orb belonged to.
"Is it the classic Minotaur, or a basilisk or a spirit-sucking monster? Or perhaps a more profound demon?"
The dungeon is a whole, and it is not entirely impossible that the "Bio Orb" obtained on the third floor contains genetic information of monsters from deeper levels.
More importantly, its value, exceeding that of the "Magic Dropper," fueled Dak's imagination.
After completing his summary, Dark took out some dry rations and shared them with the magical elves.
This time, he didn't delve too much into the food options, only buying compressed biscuits from the cafeteria.
A single compressed biscuit, about an inch thick and an inch long and wide, contains all the nutrients you need for a day.
Although the taste is very ordinary, its main advantage is its lightness.
Adventure is not a picnic; there's not much room for leisure.
Of course, if there are "dungeon storage boxes", some people will bring food to cook in the dungeon.
For example, the group of three people nearby who were lighting a campfire...
Dak took a bite of the cookie and couldn't help but look over.
It was a trio of two women and one man. The man was in charge of starting the fire and adding firewood, while the women were in charge of handling the earthenware pot. They put various ingredients into the pot to simmer, just like cooking hot pot.
The aroma wafting from the jar was mouthwatering.
Dark took a deep breath of the aroma and secretly resolved that he would definitely build a large "underground storage box" in the future!
Then, the amusement park will open in the safe zone, where you can have a dungeon carnival with the magical elves.
Wouldn't it be nice?
……
More than an hour later, Dak regrouped and set off from the safe zone.
In order to ensure his safety during nighttime adventures, he specifically summoned the "Phantom Bug".
"Illusion-Shattering Eye" and "Morning Birth, Evening Death" are the "Phantom Insect's" ultimate attacks. But it also serves another purpose: acting as a "lighting device"!
The two-star "Spirit Insect" consumes limited magic power, is small in size, can fly, can emit light, and can occasionally break invisibility and illusion, making it an essential magical spirit for mages to keep at home.
It's fair to say that the professors' choice of it as the students' first magical spirit to be trained was not without reason.
When Dak set off again, it was past seven o'clock. The light in the maze dimmed, becoming hazy like dusk, and the visible range decreased sharply.
If he hadn't opened three chakras during the summer vacation and gained a certain level of combat power, he certainly wouldn't have ventured into the darkness alone.
About five minutes after he left, two students exchanged a quick glance and then also left the safe zone.
These two were none other than Bobby and Simon.
Bobby summoned his "Feathered Illusion Insect" for illumination, while Simon summoned a canine magical spirit that was less than knee-high—"Mangy Dog".
The skin on the back of a mangy dog is covered with bumps that look like toads, and each bump can release different kinds of mucus.
Mangy dogs in nature rely on these sticky properties to locate themselves, thus constructing a large-scale map in their brains.
They can easily find prey and intruders in their territory, making them very troublesome.
Besides this characteristic, Simon's "Mangy Dog" also has a special move called "Hidden Scent Across a Thousand Miles".
When a keen sense of smell is developed into a skill, its effectiveness is self-evident.
From the very first floor, Simon had been using this "mangy dog" for long-distance tracking.
He remained cautious and never got close to Dakla.
The death of that "Hidden Sparrow" had clearly told him that mere invisibility and aura concealment were not enough to deceive the Dark Magician's senses.
Only by hanging at a distance like this can they barely maintain the appearance of tracking.
In short, he and Bobby have followed Dark all the way to where Dark is now, basically walking the same path Dark has walked, witnessing the opening of four treasure chests, and he is completely numb.
Even now, they have to admit, even if they don't want to believe it, that Dark Dimon does indeed have the ability to find the treasure chest.
Having this ability makes one feel like a fish in water in the dungeon, making others green with envy.
Simon and Bobby are still with Dark, no longer to confirm the facts; they just want to see how many more treasure chests Dark can find...
Dark was unaware that there were two other people following him, and even if he did, he wouldn't care too much.
As long as they don't disturb him from continuing his treasure hunt, the trash slime's abilities will be exposed.
Who knows, I might even get the title of "XX King Dark" someday.
After setting off, he still used "Trash Slime I's" "treasure sense" to search for treasure—this was mainly to warm up so that the next treasure chest would yield better items.
But he was incredibly lucky; this time he actually found a treasure chest!
After relying on Leomon to blast away the monster guarding the treasure chest, the "Crested Serpent," Dark began collecting the "Crested Serpent's" crest while sending Leomon to open the treasure chest.
