69: Mysterious treasure map, bad luck buff

Whoosh!

Liu Yang unleashed an Ice Arrow Technique.

The opponent Liu Yang was fighting at this moment was a leopard.

[Phantom Black Panther Lv21: Fast, fast, fast, as long as my speed is fast enough, the enemy won't hit me.]

Facing Liu Yang's attack,

the Phantom Black Panther dodged with a flash.

Immediately after, it lunged and arrived in front of Liu Yang.

“It’s over.”

Liu Yang had no time to dodge, and his heart instantly turned cold.

Howl!

The Phantom Black Panther opened its mouth wide and bit Liu Yang's left leg.

“Huh?”

Suddenly.

Liu Yang was stunned.

“Why doesn’t it hurt at all? It even feels a little comfortable, like being gently nibbled on the finger by a small kitten.”

He looked down.

He saw the Phantom Black Panther also looking bewildered.

What’s going on?

Is this two-legged beast's skin too hard?

Or am I biting a rock?

“Could it be…”

Liu Yang recalled his exclusive skill, Immortal Body.

But Immortal Body was only level 3, only increasing defense by 40%, so how could it have such a strong effect?

Liu Yang was puzzled, but he had to admit it was the truth.

He, by some strange impulse, extended his finger to the Phantom Black Panther's mouth.

Liu Yang's action greatly humiliated the Phantom Black Panther.

It released his leg, turned its head, and bit fiercely onto Liu Yang’s arm.

Howl!!!

The Phantom Black Panther let out a tragic cry.

It had broken a tooth.

Having confirmed his current defense, Liu Yang raised his longsword.

The Phantom Black Panther suddenly felt an immense danger, a fatal danger.

It quickly left Liu Yang's side, a black light flashed around its body, and it transformed into three figures, scattering and fleeing.

The Phantom Black Panther's actions dumbfounded Liu Yang.

“So the 'phantom' doesn't mean it's so fast it leaves afterimages, but that it can actually conjure several figures.”

“I've been in the Dungeon for so long, and this is the first time I've seen an Earth Palace Creature so alert and clinging to life.”

“Forget it, seeing as it made me understand my own defense, I'll spare its little life.”

Alright.

Let's be honest.

The truth was, Liu Yang had no idea which way to chase.

Knowing that Earth Palace Creatures of around level 20 couldn't harm him, Liu Yang immediately let loose.

He drove his flying car recklessly, searching for monsters everywhere.

[Black Crocodile Horned Horse Lv23: A combination of crocodile and horned horse, armored, fast as wind, strong bite force, and unique secret techniques. It's an Earth Palace Creature with no apparent weaknesses.]

“I don't care how strong you are, can you Second Kill me?”

“You can't Second Kill me, but I can Second Kill you.”

Liu Yang muttered to himself and charged straight in.

Ice Arrow Technique shot out rapidly, his right hand holding his sword closely behind.

Facing Liu Yang's Ice Arrow Technique, the Black Crocodile Horned Horse dodged left and right.

Then it lowered its head, aimed its single horn at Liu Yang, and galloped towards him.

Liu Yang unleashed another Ice Arrow Technique.

A bolt of lightning flashed from the Black Crocodile Horned Horse's horn, striking down the Ice Arrow.

Then another flash of lightning, and an electric arc shot towards Liu Yang.

Liu Yang didn't stop, sending out another Ice Arrow, targeting that electric arc.

If you can strike down my attack, why can't I strike down yours?

The two skills canceled each other out, and the two engaged in close combat.

Clang!

The longsword clashed with the single horn, emitting a crisp sound.

Immediately after, a notification sound rang out.

[You have created a fine crack in the Black Crocodile Horned Horse's horn with a single sword strike, triggering the Second Kill skill. The Black Crocodile Horned Horse has died.]

[Congratulations on killing the Black Crocodile Horned Horse. You have obtained thunder spirit stone x2, gold block x1, mysterious treasure map x1, Spiritual Energy x2.]

“Hey, what’s going on today? Good things just keep coming, it’s really…”

“So exciting!”

Liu Yang waved his hand, and the mysterious treasure map appeared in his grasp.

[mysterious treasure map: One cut to heaven, one cut to hell. This is a mischievous treasure map. After use, the treasure location will be known. There's a chance to dig up treasure, a chance to dig up a Treasure Guardian, and even a chance to dig up some strange things, such as a misfortune curse... What you dig up depends entirely on your personal luck.]

“This is really… isn’t this just like a blind box? It made me happy for nothing.”

No way.

When it came to gacha, lottery, or blind box type items, his luck had never been good; he was a true 'non-chief'.

And this was even worse.

Slap!

Liu Yang clapped his hands together, using the treasure map.

Then a set of coordinates appeared in his mind.

The target location wasn't very far from Liu Yang.

Anyone who has ever drawn cards knows that even if you're a 'non-chief,' you still can't help but draw.

So...

“Let me see how my luck is this time.”

Liu Yang rubbed his hands together and headed for the target location.

“This is the place.”

After an hour's journey, eliminating many monsters along the way, Liu Yang finally stood at the location indicated by the treasure map.

He plunged the wind-thunder spiritual sword into the soil, and with a forceful pry, a large chunk of dirt was flung up.

Heave-ho!

Heave-ho!

Heave-ho!

Liu Yang smiled, transforming into a cheerful miner.

The wind-thunder spiritual sword plunged down fiercely, and a “ding” sound rang out.

“Got it!”

Before Liu Yang could continue digging, a golden light, carrying several items, shot out from underground.

[Congratulations on unearthing a mysterious treasure. You have obtained wind spirit stone x6, gold crystal stone x3, gold block x5, world megaphone x2.]

“Aren’t these all pretty good things? Why is it called a 'mischievous treasure map'?”

Just then.

Another puff of black smoke emerged, instantly enveloping Liu Yang.

[Sympathy for you, you have been entangled by the Curse of the God of Misfortune, gaining a 24-hour misfortune buff. During the buff's duration, please do not move recklessly.]

“Hey, hey, how did this happen…”

Liu Yang was excited and couldn't help but shout.

Then he unconsciously took a step forward, tripped over his left foot with his right, and took a classic fall on flat ground.

[Misfortune buff triggered. You fell face-first.]

“I c—”

Liu Yang was about to curse, but his tongue suddenly hurt again.

[Misfortune buff triggered. You bit your own tongue until it bled.]

At this point, Liu Yang dared not move or speak, only feeling deep regret.

“Serves you right for being so reckless, drawing cards, acting like an idiot.”

Thinking about his current situation, fighting monsters was impossible.

He might not even hit the monster and instead chop himself up first.

Liu Yang cautiously summoned his Home.

Then he carefully and gently buried the crystal ball into the hole.

Finally, he called out the light door and returned to his Home.

“Good thing, the Spiritual Energy was almost used up on the way, so this counts as normal rest.”

“I’ve been in the Dungeon for so long and never properly rested. This time, I’ll be lazy and sleep my fill.”

Walking slowly back to the villa step by step, many bad thoughts popped into Liu Yang’s mind.

What if the chair collapses when he sits on it?

What if the bed collapses when he lies on it?

What if he rolls down the stairs when he goes upstairs?

As soon as he entered the door, he immediately lay on the ground, not daring to move.

He refused to believe the house would collapse too.

Although this misfortune buff was annoying.

But thinking about the things he dug up, Liu Yang was actually happy inside.

With gold blocks and gold crystal stones, the materials for the Golden Chainmail were instantly complete.

And two world megaphones.

They sounded like rare items.
