This sound immediately put Su Yue on edge.
The sound clearly pointed deep underground, to the dark passage leading to an unknown destination.
Su Yue and Lu Wei followed the sound until they arrived at a huge reinforced concrete gate.
Two months have passed since the apocalypse began, and the underground area behind the gate remains isolated from the world, like a deserted island.
Su Yue had no idea what kind of alien creatures lurked inside.
Su Yue placed his hand on the door, and a layer of dark blue barrier rose out of thin air.
Like an invisible barrier, it blocked their path forward.
Then, a cold, mechanical system notification sound came through.
[Ding! This is a shortcut to a special dungeon. The system has detected that you have not yet activated the dungeon, so you cannot enter directly!]
Faced with the situation before him, Su Yue couldn't help but frown, feeling that it was somewhat troublesome.
"Looks like we'll have to go through the main gate of the nuclear power plant this time. This is going to be tricky." He sighed helplessly.
There is a type of high-difficulty dungeon that sets save points along the way.
Then, through the shortcut gate, return to the real world.
To unlock this type of portal, there is no other way than to activate a save file within the instance.
Su Yue glanced at Lu Wei, who was wolfing down her food beside him, and suddenly felt a pang of hunger as well.
Since landing at dawn, they have walked all the way to the nuclear power plant.
There was almost no time to stop, rest, or eat.
So, Su Yue took out a Peking duck and a bottle of chilled beer from his bracelet.
He elegantly tore open the packaging paper of the roast duck, picked up a piece of tender roast duck meat and put it in his mouth.
He took a small sip of the cold beer, and the delicious taste temporarily relieved his fatigue and helplessness.
Then, Su Yue took out the three legendary treasure chests.
Two of them were as a reward for his and Luvie's survival.
The remaining one was a trophy just obtained from the leader-level alien beast, the sand worm.
"Let me see what we can get from these three legendary treasure chests?"
The chances of obtaining high-level items from such legendary treasure chests are extremely slim.
Therefore, Su Yue did not have high expectations.
"Sigh, as expected, they're all just ordinary items!" Su Yue opened two treasure chests in quick succession without hesitation.
Just as he had expected, none of the items inside met his standards.
Su Yue's gaze finally settled on the last treasure chest.
Golden Legend!
Surprisingly, a long-lost, mythical-level consumable item appeared inside.
That was a legendary "universal key".
[Master Key]: Mythical-grade consumable. Yokohama's Locksmith King, there's no lock he can't open! After use, it can open locks or mechanisms below Mythical grade.
The legendary universal key is so rare that its rarity is beyond description.
Its appearance often sparks countless battles, yet it is often available but unavailable.
After all, its application scope is so wide that it covers almost all hidden copies within the Blue Star region.
Whether it's ancient ruins hidden deep in the forest.
Or is it a mysterious palace hidden in the deep sea?
Even the illusionary gate that floats above the sky.
As long as there is a lock or a mechanism, nothing can stop the magical power of this master key.
It's like wishing for something and having it happen! Speak of the devil and he appears!
With this "universal key," he was able to break through the numerous obstacles brought by those barriers and freely travel between various secret realms.
Clearly, the door in front of Su Yue could be opened with a master key.
"I'm sorry, I was too loud just now!"
Su Yue's face was beaming with joy, and he quickly devoured all the food in his hands.
When his fingers touched the mysterious door again, the master key suddenly flashed with a dazzling golden light.
[Ding! Special area ahead. Would you like to use the "Master Key (Mythical)" to forcibly open it? Please note that once used, the Master Key will be lost.]
Su Yue nodded without hesitation and said firmly, "Confirm activation!"
With a creaking sound, the door to the underground passage slowly opened.
A strong, pungent odor mixed with the high temperature hit you, making it almost impossible to breathe.
At that very instant, the Houyi Sun-Shooting Bow in Su Yue's hand seemed to sense something.
It suddenly trembled violently, as if telling some unknown story.
The reaction this time was stronger than ever before.
Clearly, this is the place where the Yamata no Orochi is about to appear.
Su Yue, with Lu Wei by his side, stepped into this instance without hesitation.
As soon as they entered, the door behind them slammed shut.
Su Yue looked back, and the passageway that had led to the outside world had vanished into thin air.
They were currently in a spacious cave.
Oil lamps hung on the cave walls, as if they could sense Su Yue's presence.
Whenever someone gets close, an oil lamp will light up.
After the person leaves, the oil lamp will go out.
"Looks like this is it!" Mu Gui's voice echoed in the silent cave, carrying a hint of certainty and anticipation.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in Su Yue's ear:
[Warning! Warning! The system has detected a "lone wolf" entering a previously unopened instance area using unconventional methods. Data is being urgently readjusted.]
This sudden news surprised Su Yue quite a bit.
Even though he is experienced and knowledgeable.
However, the term "unreleased copy" was completely new to him.
Could it be that this is related to the fact that the Yamata no Orochi has not yet appeared in the world?
Since this is a copy that has not yet been released.
The difficulty of this task is so high that it is probably beyond the current capabilities of the Japanese people who are accustomed to the challenges of cherry blossoms.
