Chapter 543 'The Glowing Treasure'
"If I want to improve to the peak of silver level, the remaining energy points may not be enough!"
After washing himself comfortably in the stream in the valley and revealing his true appearance, Gervis immediately regained his original handsome and elegant demeanor as a king should.
At this time, Gervis was walking along the rugged path out of the valley, thinking about the problem of energy points in his heart.
He had spent a total of 73 energy points in the past four days searching for magic potion plants, and the remaining 70 energy points were not enough for him to continue his breakthrough.
So Gervis is now preparing to find Lach and others, meet up with them first and then see if there is any chance to get more energy points.
After all, there is strength in numbers, and the reward that Laci promised him has not yet been paid.
If Lachi died, it would be a huge loss for him.
That was a place as an auditor at a higher education college worth five thousand gold coins. Gervis was still waiting to sell it and then find a way to rush to the coast of the Holy Continent.
…
After walking briskly in the valley for more than an hour, Gervis finally walked out of the mountains. As long as he walked forward for another half a day, he would probably be able to walk out of the jungle.
Through the continuous exploration over the past few days, Gervis has finally realized how vast the scope of this magician's tower is.
Just the jungle where Gervis is now would take at least several days to cross, and this is when the Title Knight is running at full speed using his fighting spirit.
After walking out of the valley and finding the direction, Gervis began to hurry on his way.
Half a day passed in the rush. Gervis estimated that it would only take more than half an hour to get out of the jungle, so he simply stopped and built a fire next to a lake, preparing to fill his stomach first.
Who knows what the situation is outside right now. What if they encounter orcs again later? Gervis doesn't want to fight on an empty stomach.
After building a fire and cleaning the rabbit he had caught on the road and putting it on the fire rack, Gervis then sat leisurely on the bluestone by the lake and waited for the barbecue to be cooked.
Because he was busy looking for magic plants these two days, Gervis didn't eat a single bite of food. Although the energy from the magic plants could replenish the various nutrients consumed by his body, Gervis felt like his mouth was about to become empty.
Seeing that it would take some time for the rabbit to be roasted, Gervis opened his system panel to kill time.
He first looked at the remaining 70 energy points and smiled slightly. As the saying goes, money in hand gives you confidence, and he was even more confident with the energy points in his hands.
After looking at the energy points, Gervis turned his attention to the button of the exploration function.
Today, this exploration function can be said to be one of the most helpful things to Gervis, even comparable to kiwi fruit.
However, Gervis is currently only using the exploration function which consumes a few energy points.
"If I spend 10 energy points on exploration, I wonder what kind of treasure I can find?"
The more Gervis looked at the exploration button, the more he wanted to give it a try. All he could find with 1 energy point were first-level magic potion plants.
What if it’s 10 o’clock?
Could it be a third-level potion or a fourth-level potion?
Or can you find other precious treasures?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if the incredible treasure was waving at him.
"Fuck it, it's only ten energy points. I can find a chance to kill ten orcs and come back. A man should be tough on himself. Besides, I am the man who will make you king!"
Even until the rabbit meat was roasted and he started to eat it, Gervis was still hesitant. The hesitancy made him feel that the rabbit meat was no longer fragrant.
Finally, Gervis slapped his thigh and decided to use 10 energy points to explore it. He couldn't be so stingy with himself.
Having decided to try out the higher-level exploration function, Gervis quickly ate the roasted rabbit meat, and then couldn't wait to open his system panel.
"Activate my exploration function!"
With Gervis's expectant expression, the system deducted 10 energy points from Gervis, and then a radar plus a red dot appeared on the system panel again.
"Hey! This location is a bit close!"
Just when Gervis determined the approximate location of the red dot, he found that the red dot seemed not far from where he was.
Converted into real distance, it is only one or two miles at most, which is very close.
Gervis could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up from the bluestone, then rushed quickly in the direction of the red dot.
It only took two or three minutes for Gervis to arrive at the location of the red dot, but when he arrived, Gervis frowned.
Because this is actually a lake, and its area is not small, and the red dot is located in the lake.
"Is the treasure in the water?"
The water in this lake is very clear, but this is precisely why Gervis is a little troubled.
There is nothing special about the periphery of the lake. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. It is only five or six meters deep at most.
But the problem lies in the center of the lake. There is a dark hole with a diameter of several dozen meters in the center of the lake, and the lake water in the hole has turned green and black.
This is not because the lake water there is not clear, but because the cave entrance is too deep. Even such clear lake water cannot allow Gervis to see what the depths look like.
Just like the big reservoirs in previous lives, it makes people feel creepy when they see them.
"This system is such a bummer! It's been working fine for just two days and it's starting to act up again!"
He spent 10 energy points, but the treasure was in the pool. Gervis didn't want to go down. The pool was bottomless and who knew what was waiting for him down there.
Gervis could still vividly remember the various encounters he had had while searching for potion plants a few days ago, and the pitted armor on his body was the best proof of that.
Of course, although he was afraid, there were ten energy points there after all. Gervis gritted his teeth and decided to go down and check the situation.
"At worst, I'll just put my trump card on the line!"
Then, Gervis drew the long sword from his waist, threw the scabbard into the grass beside him, and then jumped into the clear pool with a splash.
Gervis did not take off his armor, because with his fighting spirit, the armor would not have much impact on his swimming.
On the contrary, because the armor is forged with mithril, it can play a significant defensive role at critical moments.
As soon as he jumped into the water, Gervis felt a piercing chill.
Gervis first adapted to the temperature on the water surface, and then swam towards the center of the lake. When he arrived above the deep pit at the bottom of the lake that looked like a black hole, he took a deep breath, then straightened his body and swam down to the bottom of the deep pit.
With the help of the weight of the armor, Gervis's sinking speed was greatly increased. After about ten seconds, Gervis had sunk more than thirty meters.
However, at this time, Gervis still hadn't seen the bottom of the deep pit, which made Gervis a little nervous.
The water in this pool is extremely clear, but as Gervis went deeper, the environment below became darker, and the biting cold made even Gervis, the titled knight, feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he hadn't found any danger so far.
"Dive another thirty meters. If you still can't find the treasure, you'll have to go up first!"
Gervis was making plans in his mind.
Next, Gervis continued to swim hard downwards. After more than ten seconds, Gervis suddenly saw a faint green light coming from more than ten meters below.
"Is it a treasure?"
Gervis was overjoyed and swam quickly towards the place where the light came from.
When Gervis slowly swam to a place not far from the light, he found that he had reached the bottom of the deep pit. The terrain below was flat, as if it had been dug by humans.
However, Gervis did not care whether it was artificially excavated or not, but continued to move towards the light four or five meters ahead.
"Huh? It can still blink like this!"
At this time, the water depth was more than 70 meters. The surroundings were pitch black, and only the round object emitting a faint light was very conspicuous.
As Gervis slowly approached, he saw that the object emitting green light was blinking.
Then, the next moment when Gervis began to doubt, there was originally only one glowing object in front of him, but suddenly there was another one.
The two round luminous objects were more than half a meter apart and began to blink slowly.
In an instant! Gervis suddenly realized something, and immediately felt terrified. He stopped and raised the sword in front of him.
"Fuck you! This is not a treasure at all, it's clearly a monster!"
