Some plants grew in soft soil, while others preferred more compact soil . Of course, there was also the wide range in between .

The vast area of Skulk Rock wasn't flattering . Apart from the disgusting Oozelings, the environment was also in a sorry state . There were hundreds of quagmires of all sizes scattered around . If you fell in, not even a player who had mastered their Revive skill could save you . Some thought that these quagmires were where the strange Oozelings were born .

"Everyone stay behind me; don't randomly walk around…"

Lu Li's reminder had obviously come a little late, as a hunter had already stepped into a soft spot and was engulfed .

"Don't panic if something goes wrong; panicking won't solve the problem . Just hold tightly onto someone and don't let go," Lu Li instructed as he quickly took out a Magic Staff from his backpack and handed it to the hunter .

Anyone would be frightened in this situation, and this hunter was no exception . After losing his balance, he had started the struggle, but after hearing Lu Li's steady voice, he caught the Staff and was eventually dragged out .

The couple of hundred players looked at the quagmire and paled . It was like a giant mouth, threatening to suck them in .



"Don't be afraid . If you respond calmly, there is nothing to worry about . Find yourself a rope and tie yourself to another player . That way, you don't have to worry about falling in," Lu Li said as he switched his weapon to a Bow and shot at a group of Oozes .

When the group was attacked, it immediately wriggled and merged turned into a monster with eyes – an Oozeling .

This Oozeling was level 50 with high Attack and high Defense . It also spat venom and had a splitting skill, as well as excellent camouflaging abilities . If a player was alone here, they were at real risk of dying .

Lu Li's arrow only did a dozen damage, which was much lower than he expected .

However, he also had many teammates with him, who backed him up with a barrage of spells . A sea of damage values floated above the Oozeling's head, but only a few of them were greater than 100 . Even so, this was more than enough to overhwhelm the Oozeling, which died before it could reach Lu Li .

"Boss, it's just a common equipment," a player announced .

"That's okay . Everyone, keep going . You don't need that many people; just 20 in a group . Be careful not to fall into any quagmires," Lu Li instructed and began delegating roles .



"I feel five players should be able to handle one . Most of the Oozelings had a splitting skill . If they can't be killed in a short time, they will split into more monsters . These have lower HP, but the same high attack . It's safer if we have bigger groups," he explained .

"The Boss knows best . "


The area they were in was a basin with an uneven terrain and many boulders scattered around . Most of them were covered in sludge, while some of them were exposed and obstructed the players' view . There were also many places where a treasure chest could be hidden – behind a rock, or even in a cave that was made by a pile of smaller rocks .

Under normal circumstances, the game designers wouldn't place a chest in the mud . That wouldn't be hidden – it would just be troublesome .

The troll elder said that it was a treasure, but Lu Li wasn't sure . He was the leader of a declining tribe and had been taken prisoner . What kind of treasure could he possibly have? Lu Li could only hope to find it quickly so he could go back to levelling . If there were a hundred players searching, they could cover a lot of ground in one day .

As time went by, Lu Li couldn't help but say, "Alright, this is too hard . Thanks for your help everyone, but let's go back now . "

"Boss you've got to the kidding . We've already been looking for so long; how can we give up now? We don't have anything that important to do . Aren't we levelling here anyway by killing these monsters?" Lu Li didn't want to waste his guildmates' time, but they weren't happy about it .

Lu Li would be lying if he didn't feel moved, because saying that they were levelling here was obviously a joke .

Dawn did not reward those who killed monsters that were much higher-levelled than they were . Moreover, 20 players were sharing the EXP at a time, which made the gains much worse than anywhere else . To say that they were levelling here was purely to make Lu Li feel better .

This was a situation where they wouldn't be happy if they couldn't continue following him . As such, Lu Li had no choice but to keep killing the monsters and trying to find the treasure chest .

"Boss, come over here! I think I found a treasure chest!" someone shouted out . The players that weren't currently in a fight all rushed over . They had rummaged through the entire Skulk Rock area and killed countless Oozelings, but they hadn't found anything for hours . Everyone had begun to suspect that Lu Li had been tricked by the Elder Troll .

In front of them was two huge boulders pressed together . There was a gap in the middle, but no one could fit through it, not even a small girl .

"You can see it from here . Boss, stand here," the player said as he gave up the position he was standing on .

"Dammit, the chest is really well hidden . "

Lu Li only managed to catch a glimpse of the chest after following the player's instruction .

If it weren't for the sun's rays that were shining on the golden treasure chest and reflecting some light, he wouldn't be able to see it . Even the angle was perfect, as it was otherwise pitch black in there .

The next question was, how could they open the treasure chest?

First of all, they needed a Thief who had a level 4 Unlock Skill, but they also had to be able to squeeze into this gap . Everyone looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded .

The players here were mostly considered elite players in Dawn, but they had no ideas .

"Let me try," Lu Li said as he cast the Child of the Forest and turned into a golden leopard before squeezing through the gap . In fact, the fog effect on his newly acquired belt could enable him to walk through normally unpassable terrain . It was obviously easier to do that, but that would be overkill and he didn't want to reveal another ability .

Lu Li squeezed his way in with some difficulty before entering and realizing it was like a completely different place .

The boulders were hollow, and the space could hold more than dozen individuals . Inside, the bround was covered by decaying, dry skeletons . The light leopard broke some bones on each step towards the chest .

In the center of the room lay the shining, golden treasure chest .
