Dungeon Survival: Starting with a Succubus School Beauty

Chapter 20 Treasure Altar, Mysterious Seed!

Lin Xia jumped out of the car and threw the refined iron ore from his backpack, along with the ore he had seized from the people who had delivered the sheepskin map, onto the ground.

"We have refined iron ore and some other ores, and we'd like to exchange them for your smelted refined iron ingots!"

Upon seeing the ore Lin Xia displayed, the red-bearded dwarf approached to examine it closely, his rough hands weighing the ore in his hands, a smile spreading across his face.

"Good quality! Human boy, come with me!"

When they arrived at another furnace, the red-bearded dwarf picked up ten pieces of refined iron that were placed to the side and handed them over.

"Look, this is all the ore you can exchange!"

Lin Xia took the ore and said with a smile:

"Enough, enough!"

[Ding - Obtained 10 Refined Iron]

The dwarves were quite satisfied that Lin Xia did not haggle.

He immediately pulled out a badge and tossed it to Lin Xia.

"Here you go! My dwarf friend! If you ever run into trouble, just show this, and those in the know will lend a hand!"

[Ding—You have obtained the Dwarven Friendship Badge (Friendship +10)]

Lin Xia was somewhat surprised after receiving the badge; she hadn't expected such an unexpected gain!

However, seeing how busy the other person was, Lin Xia realized something and asked directly:

"What are you doing? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon hearing this, the red-bearded dwarf shook his head and said:

"We're mining ore, so we don't need to trouble you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia pondered for a moment, then looked directly at her doomsday chariot and said:

"Perhaps I can help you find the answer?"

Upon hearing this, the red-bearded dwarf followed Lin Xia's gaze and looked directly at the doomsday chariot behind Lin Xia. After a moment of silence, he still refused.

"Thank you, friend. We need to be careful while mining the ore, but we appreciate your kind gesture. Next time, we'll definitely have a proper drink together!"

"By the way, my name is Harvey!"

Lin Xia didn't insist. Seeing the new friend Harvey surrender on the panel, she immediately nodded and returned to the Doomsday Chariot.

"Master, where to next?" Shuang Ruxue yawned and looked at Lin Xia with her fiery red eyes.

"Take a look at the map."

Lin Xia took out the yellowed sheepskin map and unfolded it.

The marker on the map is in the cave on the left.

After putting away the map, Lin Xia habitually scanned the walls of the cave, and the familiar lucky hints immediately appeared before her eyes.

[Lucky hint: Dig ahead, and you'll find a thicket of thorny vines.]

(The vines secrete a paralyzing toxin; even a slight scratch can leave you bedridden for half a day.)

[Lucky Hint: Dig further and you'll stumble upon the territory of a group of ferocious lava lizards.]

(It has thick skin and flesh, spews lava balls, and it's too hot to get close to.)

[Lucky hint: Dig upwards and you'll discover an abandoned ancient alchemy laboratory.]

(The leftover medicine bottle might contain good stuff, or it might explode and hit you in the face, so handle it with care.)

[Lucky hint: Digging deeper will lead you into a bottomless quicksand trap.]

(Silent and unnoticed, once you're trapped, there's no way out.)

[Lucky Hint: Dig to the left to reach a mossy forest filled with a soft, fluorescent glow.]

(The moss emits a faint glow, and there's a strong energy fluctuation in the central area—it seems there's something good there! But bloodthirsty demons roam the forest, and they're highly aggressive!)

[Lucky hint: Dig to the right and you'll find a small natural crystal cave.]

(Crystals contain pure energy and are a good material for making equipment; they pose no immediate danger.)

Lin Xia's gaze immediately locked onto the left.

That's exactly where the sheepskin map is flashing.

"The point on the map is on the left."

Lin Xia pointed in the direction.

"But it's a bit dangerous; there are bloodthirsty demons inside."

"Danger?"

Zhu Zhuyun's cat ears perked up alertly.

"Boss, what's the level?"

"They didn't specify, but I think we should be able to handle it."

A blue-white arc of electricity crackled and popped from Lin Xia's fingertips.

"After all, we have new capabilities, let's give it a try."

Shuang Ruxue looked at the electric arc, a look of excitement appearing on her face.

With a flick of the finger, an air door the size of a fist opens and closes silently.

"Let's go then, it'll be a good opportunity to test out our new ability!"

"Um."

Lin Xia extinguished the electric arc.

"We've come all this way, it would be a waste not to go and see."

Lin Xia jumped into the driver's seat.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoyun, get in the car! Destination: the treasure vault on the left!"

"clear!"

Zhu Zhuyun slipped into the back seat like a shadow, her green eyes gleaming.

Shuang Ruxue climbed into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Hold on tight!"

Lin Xia pushed the control lever.

The doomsday chariot roared, and its giant drill spun wildly once more, crashing violently into the wall on the left, towards the glowing moss forest!

Boom—!

Dust and gravel flew backward like a torrential rain, slamming against the armor with a crackling sound.

A few seconds later, accompanied by the noise and vibration of the drill bit breaking through the obstruction, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Lin Xia turned off the engine and opened the car door.

A unique scent of damp earth mixed with fresh grass and trees wafted towards me.

Before us was a small underground cave.

The cave walls and floor are covered with thick moss that emits a soft blue-green fluorescent light, making the space look like a dreamlike ocean.

After arriving at the underground cave, Lin Xia immediately took out the sheepskin map, just about to check the exact location of the treasure.

Suddenly, the sheepskin map burst forth with a powerful light, instantly illuminating the entire mossy cavern, and then the sheepskin map vanished.

Before Lin Xia could even figure out what was going on, the entire underground cavern suddenly began to shake violently!

next moment.

A huge altar rose from the ground, and at the very top of the altar was a seed.

Because of the distance, Lin Xia could not see the notification.

However, Lin Xia had a strong premonition that this should be the treasure recorded on the sheepskin map!

With such a grand setup, Lin Xia couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

However, before Lin Xia could step forward, she heard terrifying roars coming from all around!

The next second, Lin Xia and the others saw dozens of burly, ferocious-looking bloodthirsty demons rushing towards them!

"Minor Snow!"

Lin Xia let out a low shout, and his fingertips instantly exploded with dazzling blue and white arcs of electricity.

Shuang Ruxue reacted extremely quickly, instantly understanding Lin Xia's intentions. With a flick of her finger, an air door silently opened in front of Lin Xia.

Lin Xia transformed into a bolt of lightning, passing through the door and appearing directly at the edge of the altar, her target the seed!

"roar--!"

The bloodthirsty demons instantly went berserk, their crimson eyes fixed on Lin Xia.

They were incredibly fast, their thick arms slamming into the altar with a fierce gust of wind that tore through the air.

"Don't even think about going there!"

Zhu Zhuyun let out a sharp cry, and her body instantly split apart!

Dozens of limbs, like agile hidden weapons, streaked towards the bloodthirsty demons charging at the forefront.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The split fists and feet slammed into the Bloodthirsty Demon's thick muscles, producing dull thuds.

The Bloodthirsty Demon merely swayed, then slapped Zhu Zhuyun's arm away with a backhand!

"Ouch...it's so hard!"
