Chapter 109 The Truth Behind the Dazzling Treasure Chest
The car slowly reversed, and Lu Youyou stared intently at the spot where the red light had just appeared.
As if knowing that Lu Youyou was going to find her, the red light flashed intermittently, extremely conspicuous in the dark night.
It was a red treasure chest floating on the yellow sand.
Unlike the red treasure chests Lu Youyou had seen before, this treasure chest was five times the size of the previous ones.
It wasn't a treasure chest emitting a red glow; rather, it was bright red overall, radiating an alluring light.
"stop."
As the car approached the treasure chest, Lu Youyou couldn't wait to speak up.
She put on her shoes and went downstairs without bringing any weapons, forgetting even her usual caution.
Xiao Hei followed, puzzled.
"Wow~"
"Master, do you want that black treasure chest?"
Lu Youyou paused, "A black treasure chest?"
Little Black wagged its tail: "Yes, it's the same color as my fur, it's a black treasure chest."
Lu Youyou rubbed her eyes and glanced into the yellow sand. The treasure chest, which had been bright red just moments before, was now pitch black.
Strangely, the dark treasure chest was surprisingly conspicuous in the pitch-black night.
"Yes, I want it, Little Black, can you..."
Lu Youyou stopped talking after saying only half of what she had said.
She discovered that she was experiencing mental problems, and even had the idea of asking Xiao Hei to go down into the yellow sand to help her retrieve the treasure chest.
It's important to know that apart from the monsters that originally lived under the yellow sand, all other species would die if they fell into the yellow sand.
How could she have thought of such a thing, and almost said it?
"Master, what did you say?"
Lu Youyou pinched her fingers hard to stay awake and said with difficulty, "Xiao Hei, go to the car. Don't believe anything I say."
"Master, you..."
"I told you to get back in the car!"
On one hand, there was the mad desire in his mind for that treasure chest.
On the one hand, there was a concern that Xiao Hei might hear what the monster was saying while controlling him.
Lu Youyou felt like she was going crazy.
She didn't know when it started, but she fell for the monster's trick in the dead of night.
So from the moment she saw that red light, she desperately wanted to go back.
They don't even bother to think about why the intelligent iron arm can't pick up this treasure chest.
The monsters here are more powerful than the Nightmare Monsters. Their skills are released silently, and even Little Black didn't notice anything amiss.
With Xiao Hei no longer here, a new idea popped into Lu Youyou's head.
She wanted to go down and get it herself.
Do not!
No!
Going down there will kill you!
Pinching her fingers was no longer enough to keep her awake, so Lu Youyou raised her arm and bit herself hard.
Her mind cleared up quickly, and she wanted to turn back, but her feet couldn't go backward; she could only move forward.
It seems I can't go back without getting this treasure chest.
Noticing that she was starting to feel tired again, Lu Youyou raised her arm once more and bit down hard until it drew blood.
We have to find a way to pull out that treasure chest while I'm still conscious!
Lu Youyou thought of the garbage tongs she found at the garbage station, which clamped onto the ring of the treasure chest and pulled it little by little toward the road.
As she got closer to the treasure chest, Lu Youyou became increasingly disoriented.
She wants to sleep.
No, I can't sleep.
She raised her arm to bite again, but found that her sense of pain had become less sensitive.
Even if you bite your arm until it bleeds, it only stings slightly like a mosquito bite.
Without a second thought, Lu Youyou threw the dagger and, driven by her remaining rationality, slashed her upper arm.
"laugh!"
The dagger was fast and sharp. Lu Youyou had already put the dagger away when her body realized that her wound was hurting.
With a burst of energy, Lu Youyou pulled the treasure chest within one meter and silently ordered it to be picked up automatically.
The treasure chest disappeared, and Lu Youyou felt that the power controlling her had also disappeared.
With her pain sensation returning, Lu Youyou couldn't help but grimace in pain as the intense pain in her arm returned.
He quickly pulled out a medium-level all-purpose pill and put it in his mouth.
The wound gradually healed, and tender new flesh grew.
Lu Youyou didn't dare to linger, so she quickly got into the car and told the navigation to drive fast and leave this unlucky place.
Back in the car, Lu Youyou crawled into the folding bathroom, filled a basin with water, and buried her head in it.
She needs to be clear-headed to recall everything that happened today.
When exactly did she begin to be bewitched by the monster?
Eat normally, fight normally, open treasure chests normally...
What's wrong with it?
Lu Youyou suddenly raised her head and wiped the water droplets from her face.
She seemed to realize something was wrong.
The treasure chest is the wrong color!
I used to only see single-color flowers, but today they're all vibrant and colorful.
If color can't prove it, then what you get from the treasure chest is enough.
A treasure chest that allows you to make a wish—isn't that strange?
She was initially captivated by the treasure chest's unusual appearance, thinking it was a perk, and never imagined that she would fall into a trap from that moment on.
The more treasure chests you open, the more your desires are satisfied, and the stronger your craving for treasure chests becomes!
Then your thoughts will be controlled by the black treasure chest at night.
What controls her thoughts isn't a monster, but that treasure chest!
【Ding--】
The path suddenly emitted a sharp, long cry.
[Congratulations on discovering the truth behind the Colorful Treasure Chest! This message will be randomly placed inside the chest for other survivors to view.]
[Note: You must not directly or indirectly reveal the truth to anyone. Don't disturb the adults' enjoyment. Trust me, you won't want to know the consequences.]
"Who is the master?"
This is not something you should know. All you need to do is survive.
Lu Youyou wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Xiao Lu's voice had turned cold.
It doesn't feel like a smart assistant; it feels more like it has real human emotions.
As I said from the beginning, challenges and opportunities coexist here. What you gain is yours, so strive to improve yourself; it won't harm you.
With two "buzzing" sounds, the path returned to its familiar mechanical sound.
I have prepared a gift for you. Please check your backpack compartment.
Lu Youyou frowned, she had too many questions in her mind, but unfortunately Xiao Lu wouldn't answer them.
Open the backpack compartments; the first compartment should contain the gift Xiaolu gave you, since it's an unopened gift box.
After the gift was placed in the box, Lu Youyou opened it.
[Calming Spray *1: Do you ever feel like your mind is out of your control? Calming spray is the perfect cure for your irritability; if one spray isn't enough, try two.]
The cooling spray is very small; you can hold it in one hand.
It's about the same size as the 50ml travel-size bottles she used before; even if it's bigger, it's not much bigger.
Lu Youyou put the spray in the backpack compartment and began to look at the black treasure chest she had just put in.
The black treasure chest has disappeared and is no longer displayed in the backpack slots, but the items inside have not disappeared.
[Explosive Reagent *5: Each drop contains violent energy; if the bottle breaks, it will explode.]
【Bomb Ball Making Blueprint: Requires Fire Core*1, Explosive Reagent*1.
