"Hmm...why aren't there any soldiers?"
"This treasure chest must have been soaked in water for too long, which killed my soldiers."
"Yes, that must be it."
"Otherwise, how could there be no soldiers? What kind of treasure chest is it if there are no soldiers?"
After glancing at Mulan, who was talking to herself and trying to comfort herself, Li Qingyu happily reached into the treasure chest and took out the sword.
The moment Li Qingyu took out the sword, the golden treasure chest that had already been opened suddenly turned into countless golden specks of light, which scattered in the sea breeze.
Tsk...
Watching those golden specks of light disappear with the wind.
Li Qingyu couldn't help but sigh once again.
This system is really stingy...
They wouldn't even leave a single box behind.
Li Qingyu glanced regretfully at the spot where the golden treasure chest had disappeared, then turned his attention back to the sword in his hand.
This is a Western sword, not the traditional Chinese sword from ancient times.
It's somewhat like the kind of decorative swords used in fencing competitions that Li Qingyu remembers.
The sword is silver-white overall, and the hilt is made of an unknown metal with an openwork design, which looks both beautiful and light.
The sword blade is thin and long, like an extremely sharp silver needle, seemingly capable of piercing a hole in someone with a casual thrust.
Li Qingyu gripped the sword hilt with his right hand and pretended to brandish it a few times.
To be honest, Li Qingyu felt that he looked pretty cool when he did it.
However, this sword has one drawback: it is too light, which makes it not very easy to wield.
After swinging it twice, Li Qingyu checked the system information of the sword.
Li Qingyu hoped the system information would bring him some surprises.
[Supreme Small Quick Sword]
[Grade: C]
[A replica of the Supreme Grade Sword, possessing the toughness of a kitchen knife and the sharpness of an embroidery needle.]
[High-quality imitation effect: Swordsmanship +1]
Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes...
Um...
Li Qingyu's initially excited expression stiffened for a moment.
Good heavens, this is a system!
Looks like we underestimated your stinginess...
So this huge golden treasure chest was dug out of the belly of a monarch-level monster.
In the end, all you gave me was a counterfeit?!
Li Qingyu's mentality was a little broken. He looked at Mulan next to him, who was still comforting herself and muttering to herself.
Li Qingyu began to have some doubts; it might not just be due to the system being stingy...
This woman...
It looks quite dark...
Li Qingyu clicked his tongue, giving up on those pointless speculations. Anyway, he could evolve on his own, so he didn't care about levels or attributes.
Unfortunately, because he had just bought the new 8S, Li Qingyu didn't have many evolution points left.
Even if you just killed a big fat fish underwater, you only get one magic core. Even if you eat it now, you won't get many evolution points.
never mind...
Let's wait until we have enough evolution points before evolving this sword. It would be best to get it to S-rank in one go. Other ranks like A, B, C, etc., don't mean much to us.
We're going to be the kind of men who want to upgrade to the 16S Plus!
Having made up his mind, Li Qingyu carefully slipped the small, fast sword in his hand into his trouser pocket.
There was no way around it. Even though I knew my pocket contained a spatial device, it was still such a long and sharp thing, and I still had some psychological trauma about sticking it into my lower body.
After finally finishing planting, Li Qingyu looked around at the army of groundhogs covering the sea and asked himself a question.
Grandpa Crimson, can you help me see which direction to go? Are there any more treasure chests left?
[Crimson: With this system's stinginess, do you think there will be many treasure chests?]
Okay, if it's gone, it's gone.
And where is the Angel Fruit? In which direction?
Although Li Qingyu wasn't in a hurry to purify anything, it was good to prepare in advance, just in case.
[Crimson: I don't know. I have no idea what an Angel Fruit is. I've never even seen one.]
However, if you head east, you'll come across an island; you can try going up there and exploring.
Tsk...
Grandpa, that's a bit of a perfunctory response.
Alright, let's go to the island then.
Even riding a black dog, Li Qingyu still felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded from constantly being on the sea.
He hung the bucket that had been on his head back around his neck.
Li Qingyu glanced at Mulan beside him, who was still muttering something to herself.
"Cough cough~"
Li Qingyu coughed twice.
Seeing that Mulan had no reaction and was still in a state of self-isolation.
Li Qingyu intensified his coughing.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Cough cough cough!!"
"cough!!!!!!"
...
Finally, Mulan, who had been disturbed by the coughing, came to her senses and looked at Li Qingyu, who was coughing up blood, beside her.
"Lieutenant, are you sick?" Mulan asked with concern.
"No..." Li Qingyu said in a slightly hoarse voice.
After saying that, Li Qingyu held up the bucket around his neck and poured some water into his mouth.
After clearing his throat, he continued, "General, there seems to be an island to the east. Shall we go up there and rest?"
Hua Mulan blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion, "Lieutenant, how do you know there are islands to the east?"
Li Qingyu reached out and pushed the sunglasses, which he had just pulled down below his nose, back up to cover his eyes.
Then, Li Qingyu said with a deep expression, "A man's intuition..."
"Oh~"
Hua Mulan nodded her big head and, like Li Qingyu, pulled down the black cloth strip that Li Qingyu had just pushed onto her forehead.
He covered his large eyes again, then said with a deep expression, "So... let's go?"
soon...
The swarm of groundhogs, their bodies ablaze with black and red flames, gradually disappeared into the distance, and the sea began to return to its usual tranquility.
Only a few yellow worms, untouched by the Eternal Dark Destruction Wave, sank to the seabed as they writhed beneath the surface.
........
"Mimi, I'm so tired~"
"And I feel so itchy all over!"
The little girl Yueyue, dragging her baguette, walked dejectedly while complaining to the big orange cat beside her.
"Hang in there a little longer, Yueyue. There should be something on the island to cure your itching." A hoarse yet magnetic voice came from the orange cat.
"Ugh...so annoying..."
Yueyue lowered her head even further, her tied side ponytail hanging down completely in front of her eyes, swaying back and forth with her steps.
Just as the person and the cat were walking towards the center of Cake Island.
suddenly...
The orange cat's eyes sharpened.
boom!!!
A loud bang.
The little girl Yueyue and the big orange cat Mimi were engulfed by a burst of intense flames.
