Monsters Are Coming

Suddenly, a plant monster emerged from the ground, and Jiang Luo decisively unleashed Decomposing Life Soul on it.

It was a plant-type life form resembling a pumpkin, entirely white.

When exposed to the extraction light, green bubbles continuously appeared on its body, and before they hit the ground, they were decomposed into a plant essence ball.

Once again, the battle was resolved in the easiest way.

Jiang Luo stepped forward and collected the plant essence ball into his space bag.

Ready to continue moving forward with Mahua.

Just then, a golden barrage flashed across:

"Silly son, I think I saw something glowing in the pumpkin pit just now, go and check it out."

"Alright, Dad." Jiang Luo elongated his voice to express displeasure, then walked to the pit left by the pumpkin-like plant monster and stood still, looking into the pit, and indeed saw a faint glow.

"There really is something!"

Curious, he switched to his main form, squatted down in front of the dirt heap, and began to move the surrounding soil aside.

The soil was moist and soft, with a faint scent of greenery.

He placed his right hand into the pit, the entire arm submerged, reaching towards the faint glow, and his fingertips suddenly touched a hard object.

Jiang Luo’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but speed up his actions.

This might indeed be an opportunity.

As he continued to dig, the soil covering the hard object was gradually moved aside.

When Jiang Luo withdrew his arm, he found a metal plate in his hand.

The plate was not large, about the size of a palm, with some damage at the edges.

He wiped the dirt off the plate, and with the ambient light, he could vaguely see some strange symbols and patterns on it, like some kind of ancient script. The backside was embedded with three dim spiritual patterns, giving off a sense of age.

"What are you looking at, are you doing archaeology, just decompose it, pig brain."

The golden barrage flashed by, and Jiang Luo decisively activated decomposition.

[Green Origin Clan Seal]:

Item Description: A token to unlock the inheritance of the Green Origin Clan, can be used to unlock the inheritance at their location.

...

As Jiang Luo wondered where the inheritance point of the Green Origin Clan was, a Challenger Tips echoed in his mind:

[Challenger Tips: Triggered Hidden Task "Green Origin Clan Inheritance."]

Hidden Task Description: With the Green Origin Clan Seal, you can go to the marked location on the map to unlock the hidden inheritance scene.

"Wow, a hidden task!"

Seeing the prompt, Jiang Luo’s eyes widened.

Beside him, Mahua grinned and said:

"Uncle, as expected of a seasoned player, you’re truly strong, discovering opportunities from details, almost made us miss it."

"Mahuah, don’t flatter me, I’m wondering why the hidden task had a prompt. I saw on the forums that many Strategy Party experts have said that aside from the territory node tasks, there are no triggered tasks in this game."

"That I don’t know, maybe it’s a special benefit of our novice scene." Mahua scratched his head.

With confusion, Jiang Luo summoned the map function.

He discovered a new golden mark on the map, and when he focused on it, it indicated it was 12.4 kilometers in a straight line from his current location.

"Let’s go."

Stowing the metal plate into his space bag, Jiang Luo decided to go and open the hidden chest right away.

Just as Jiang Luo and Mahua started their journey, a message appeared in Qi Sheng’s mind.

Showing information acquired from the Lord of Welfare, with one piece being activated, clearly indicating a player had triggered a hidden task.

This was his newest addition.

When a player meets the conditions described in the intelligence from the Lord of Welfare, the task will automatically activate, releasing the content of the intelligence in the form of a hidden task.

But he couldn’t guarantee if the hidden task would reward anything.

Although Guidance can use Analysis Ability to filter and verify intelligence information, it’s too cumbersome to retrieve uncontacted information, spread across vast regions.

Currently, Guidance’s ability hasn’t fully recovered, and he didn’t want to waste too much sacrificial power on unknown information.

Consider it a mystery box draw for the player.

Whether they hit the jackpot depends entirely on the player’s luck.

...

hours later.

After hunting along the way, Jiang Luo and Mahua finally reached the marked location on the map.

The cursor pointed to a giant stone lying on the ground.

"Finally here, that wasn’t easy."

Jiang Luo and Mahua were in a disheveled state.

The scene filled with plant monsters was covered with poisonous plants and hidden traps.

Without the Perception enhancement from their Eagle-Headed Demon companion, they would be startled constantly.

If it wasn’t a vine suddenly flying over, the ground would split open to swallow them... For the timid player, exploring unknown scenes is definitely a torment, keeping them on edge throughout.

Fortunately, after a 4-hour trek, they finally arrived at the hidden chest location.

Fatigue was immediately replaced by anticipation.

Standing in front of the giant stone, Jiang Luo took out the metal plate from his personal bag.

The metal plate’s surface immediately emitted flowing light, the beam directly illuminating a corner of the giant stone.

Jiang Luo immediately crouched down, moving to the area where the light was shining.

Complicated patterns emerged on the surface, and as he brought the metal plate closer, the light grew ever more dazzling.

He attempted to place the metal plate against the pattern.

At the moment of contact, a deep humming sound resonated from within the rock, as if some ancient power had been awakened.

Jiang Luo could also feel a faint and continuous vibration from the metal plate in his hand.

Then the flowing light on the metal plate abruptly surged, transforming into a glaring beam that shot towards the pattern on the rock.

Crack! Crack!

The surface of the rock cracked, with fine fissures swiftly spreading like a spider’s web.

Illuminating green glow seeped through the cracks.
