If they had stayed in the underground chamber, Xu Feng would not have bothered to trouble them, but they were not satisfied with killing the Yellow Turban Warrior and rushed up to kill Xu Feng and take back the treasures in the chamber. Now they were defeated and wanted to escape. How could Xu Feng let them do so? The physical fitness of these poachers was comparable to that of the secret realm apostles, but under Xu Feng's soul fire talisman, they were also vulnerable. Before in the underground chamber, they could rely on the terrain to surround and kill Xu Feng. Now they were in an open terrain. It was wishful thinking to threaten Xu Feng again.
Xu Feng did not hold back. The last two poachers didn't even get out of their base before they were all killed by Xu Feng alone.
After killing all the poachers and finding no valuable loot dropped, Xu Feng made a brief search and left the base.
Early the next morning, after the sun rose, Xu Feng took out the graffiti he obtained from the stronghold and looked at it towards the sun.
Through the sunlight, you can see a faint watermark on the scribbled paper. This faint watermark is actually a map, which blends perfectly with the lines and ink dots on the paper to form a complete map.
This is the real treasure map! After memorizing the entire map, Xu Feng immediately received the task content of the main task 3 and changed.
[You have obtained a treasure map. Please find the treasure according to the clues in the treasure map and take it back as a mission item. After taking it back, you will complete the main mission 3. Tip: This treasure is a mission item. Once the trialer touches it, the mission is considered completed. ]
Xu Feng curled his lips. The newly appeared main task seemed to be afraid that after Xu Feng found the treasure, the task would rather fail than take the treasure for themselves, which made Xu Feng feel disgusted.
"They are just a few spiritual items at most. Are they worthy of a serious warning?" Xu Feng thought to himself.
In the past lives, there were many secret realm apostles who coveted the attributes of the mission items obtained during the mission, deliberately failed the mission, and kept the mission items.
But this situation often occurs in high-level secret realms, and only the quest items that appear in high-level secret realms are worth the secret realm apostles doing this.
Now it was just a low-level secret realm. No matter how good the attributes of the quest items were, how good could they be? Was it worth causing the main quest to fail because of them?
After memorizing the route of the treasure map, Xu Feng jumped down from the tree and walked towards the treasure location shown on the treasure map. Before leaving, Xu Feng used another flare to see if his teammates were nearby.
But the result disappointed Xu Feng, there was no response! Before entering the secret realm, Xu Feng discussed the main task of this secret realm with Captain He Bing and told him that he might be the first to come to this base to look for clues to the treasure.
So after Xu Feng separated from his teammates after entering the secret realm, He Bing might have come here in advance to wait for Xu Feng, but he didn't. Moreover, after a day and a night, Xu Feng got all the clues to the treasure, but He Bing didn't show up. So there is only one possibility, that is, something happened to He Bing and the others.
Thinking of the animal-attracting fragrance on his body after he just entered the secret realm, Xu Feng felt heavy in his heart.
"It seems that I am not the only one being plotted against. The whole team has been plotted against. I hope they are safe!" Xu Feng said in his heart.
…
Xu Feng headed westward and soon came to a large lake. Standing by the lake, a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on Xu Feng's face.
"Hey, that's strange. How come the boundary of the secret realm is in the center of the lake..." Xu Feng said to himself as he looked at the air wall in the center of the lake.
According to intelligence, the boundary of the first-level secret realm beast disaster should be at the edge of the lake in front of him, which is two or three meters from the edge. But the boundary that Xu Feng saw at this time was at least seventy or eighty meters away from the lake.
If it wasn't that this big lake was moving inward, then the boundary of the entire secret realm was constantly expanding.
The change in the area of the secret realm means the change in the level of the secret realm, and the difficulty of the secret realm will also increase accordingly. Now the secret realm of Beast Disaster is already an A1-level secret realm. If it is upgraded, it will either become an A2-level secret realm, or it will probably become an S1-level secret realm. In comparison, the possibility of becoming an S1-level secret realm is greater.
Xu Feng shook his head. These were not issues he needed to consider for the time being. Right now, the most important task for him was to complete the main quest and professional tasks first.
Soon, Xu Feng jumped into the cold lake and began searching at the bottom of the lake.
According to the treasure map, the treasure should be under a rock at the bottom of the lake, which is also a marked location.
The lake water is cold and visibility is not very high. There are also many aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake. If ordinary people are not careful and get entangled in these aquatic plants, they will probably be in trouble. Even the apostles of the secret realm will be in a mess.
At this time, Xu Feng was like a swimming fish, constantly shuttling among the water plants at the bottom of the lake. The water plants floated with the waves, and when they touched Xu Feng's body, they would just swing away, not causing him any trouble at all.
Swimming and diving, like lock picking, are basic skills that secret realm apostles must master, and they are often used when exploring secret realms. Although these basic skills are inconspicuous, they are often needed when exploring secret realms.
The silt at the bottom of the lake was very deep, so Xu Feng did not dare to stay and kept diving. The vision at the bottom of the lake was limited, so Xu Feng never found the huge stone marked on the treasure map.
After taking a few breaths, Xu Feng finally found a clue at the bottom of the lake. It turned out that there was too much silt at the bottom of the lake, which buried the original two or three meter high rock, leaving only the top one foot square exposed.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
If it weren't for the dense aquatic plants on the lake bottom, and only this bare area without a single aquatic plant, it would look weird, and Xu Feng would probably not be able to find the place where the treasure was buried.
But now that silt has accumulated, it is much more difficult to dig out the treasure. The Yellow Turban warriors are quite powerful, but they are just paper figures. Once they enter the water, the spiritual power of the Taoist talismans will be consumed exponentially, and they will not be able to hold on for long. If Xu Feng wants to dig out the treasure, he can only rely on himself.
It took Xu Feng a whole day to clear all the silt around the rock. He was exhausted, and even the surrounding lake water became turbid.
"It will only take another three or two trips to dig out the treasure..." Xu Feng lay on the grass by the lake, panting.
At this moment, three people suddenly emerged from the jungle not far away. Seeing the panting Xu Feng and the turbid water on the lake, they immediately laughed.
"I didn't expect to be so lucky that someone actually came to dig treasure for us in advance. Hehe, thank you very much, little brother!" A middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks said to Xu Feng with a smug smile on his face.
Xu Feng frowned, stood up, took out the spiritual dagger, the Tearing Fang, and held it in his hand.
Seeing the dagger in Xu Feng's hand shining with spiritual light, the middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks couldn't help but smile even more.
