Chapter 40 Stealing a Treasure Chest
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Nocturnal people move in twos and threes .
“Ding!~”
System prompt: You have entered the map [Wuya Town] (third-level town)!
Arriving at the town he had chosen at the beginning, Ye Feng purchased a map of the surrounding terrain, then hurriedly left the safe zone and headed for the nearby known location where the treasure chest was hidden.
Like a gust of light breeze, with Wuhen's blessing, his basic speed grew to thirteen stars and his speed became even more terrifying. In the whistling of cold wind in his ears, the surrounding scenery quickly retreated.
After about twenty minutes, he arrived at his destination, an inconspicuous cave at the foot of the mountains.
"rustle……"
Pushing aside the weeds, Ye Feng activated shadow stealth and quietly walked into the dark cave. He tried to hold his breathing as low as possible and summoned his pet Pixiu.
“Chirp!”
Like a night pearl, the Pixiu emits a bright gray-white light in the cave, which is quite magical.
"Little Pixiu, use your earth escape technique to lead the way!" Ye Feng whispered, "There should be a treasure chest ahead!"
The Pixiu nodded, burrowed into the ground, and moved forward.
“Swish!”
Seeing this, Ye Feng activated the C-level skill Qingtong that he had comprehended. Qingguang light flashed in his eyes. He immediately saw the trajectory of the Pixiu's movement and followed closely behind.
After going more than fifty meters deep into the winding cave, the vicinity suddenly became clear. Ye Feng hid at the edge and looked out. Not far away, he could see a giant python with emerald green scales and a body length of more than ten meters. It was as thick as a tree trunk that three people could hug together. It looked extremely difficult to deal with.
At this moment, it was curled up in the cave with its eyes closed to rest. Next to it was a golden treasure chest. It was obviously a monster guarding the treasure chest.
Not daring to use reconnaissance skills recklessly to disturb the giant python, Ye Feng slowed his breathing and approached quietly in stealth mode, looking very familiar with the place.
He's not kidding!
In his previous life, he had stolen at least eight hundred treasure chests, if not a thousand. He had rich work experience and could be considered an old employee.
With him around, there will be no accidents!
Coming to the treasure chest, Ye Feng reached out to open it.
“Ding!~”
System prompt: You have not yet learned the skill [Lock Picking], so you cannot open this treasure chest!
Ye Feng: “…”
Damn it!
I’m not an assassin in this life, so I don’t have any lock-picking skills!
“Hiss…”
At this moment, because someone touched the treasure chest, the giant python woke up from its slumber. It raised its huge snake head and looked down at Ye Feng, spitting out its scarlet tongue with bad intentions.
“Ding!~”
System prompt: Since you have been discovered, the stealth state disappears!
"You bold snake demon, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"
Since he was discovered, Master Ye stopped pretending and sneered, "How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert!"
Python: “…”
Looking at the human spraying itself in front of it, it was confused.
How can you be so confident when you are obviously weak?
"Come out, Pixiu!" Ye Feng shouted in a deep voice, "Take my treasure chest away!"
“Chirp!”
A grayish-white light flashed, and the Pixiu rushed out from the ground, right under the treasure chest, lifting it up completely.
"You run first, I'll cover your rear!" Ye Feng gave the order.
Although this type of special treasure chest cannot be put into a package, it is definitely okay to carry the entire thing away.
He decided to study how to unlock the lock after returning to town!
The Pixiu understood what he meant and fled out of the cave carrying the treasure chest.
"hiss!"
When the giant python saw the treasure chest going away, it immediately chased after it and opened its bloody mouth to bite the Pi Xiu.
"How dare you be so presumptuous?"
Ye Feng frowned, and a dark energy emanated from his body. It was the Buddha Light Field he had learned from his mentor : "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
-33!
"boom!!"
The energy surged and shook the giant python from the side, causing it to deviate in direction of attack. The Pixiu took the opportunity to enter the passage and escaped disaster.
The giant python was extremely angry when the treasure chest was stolen by robbers, and without saying a word it rushed towards Ye Feng who was in the way.
MISS!
Seeing the giant python biting towards him, Ye Feng ran away.
I tried my best!
This giant python is a Dark Gold Level BOSS. How could he be qualified to fight against it now? He had already .
The giant python's attack missed, and it twisted its body to chase after it.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Pixiu was in front and Ye Feng was behind, and the two of them escaped from the cave in a thrilling manner.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Ye Feng was in front and Pi Xiu was behind, the two of them faced the pursuit in a thrilling manner.
Looking at his master who was running faster than himself, the Pixiu carrying the treasure chest turned around and saw the giant python's sharp fangs. He was so scared that he sped up decisively.
What about the last guard you promised?
"Run, run, keep your breathing even and consistent in depth, and closely match it with your pace!" On the vast field, Ye Feng responded from the side and told his running experience one by one.
“Hiss!”
The python was extremely annoyed.
He had seen thieves stealing treasure chests, but he had never seen thieves robbing treasure chests. The key point was that the thieves ran very fast and no one could catch up with them!
A minute later, Master Ye, whose cultivation had recovered, decided to subdue the demon again. After approaching the giant python, he activated the shadow field: "Snake demon, why don't you surrender?"
"boom!"
The giant python was intercepted again and was eroded by energy, its movement speed was reduced by 20%. In the end, it watched the robbers swagger away, stayed there for a moment unwillingly, and left in disappointment.
"call……"
Seeing that the giant python gave up chasing him, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, took the treasure chest from the Pi Xiu, and returned to Wuya Town.
A close call!
Overall, this treasure chest theft was very smooth.
In order to confirm that it was correct, he cast a detection spell towards the treasure chest.
[Exquisite Treasure Chest] (Grade A)
Introduction: There is a chance to get dark gold equipment and A-level and below items
…
This is the most talked-about aspect of the assassin profession, being both an assassin and a thief, by relying on stealth and walking on the edge of danger, one can obtain treasures that are currently unavailable.
"Welcome light... huh?"
The grocery store owner looked stunned.
"Do you have any lock-picking skills?" Ye Feng went straight to the point.
The grocery store owner shook his head and said, "Lock picking is a skill you will learn once you become an assassin. We don't sell it for the time being."
"Is there any wire?" Ye Feng continued to ask.
He felt uneasy letting other players unlock the box, and he didn't really like outsiders opening the treasure chest he had obtained.
Since there is nothing to sell, then figure it out yourself!
"Yes, there is, but it may not be that easy to unlock!"
"Just bring it here, and let me try!"
"OK!"
…
Ye Feng spent five silver coins to buy ten iron wires specially used for unlocking locks. He carefully inserted the iron wires into the keyhole and tried.
Lock picking skills are a must!
Why?
Since it is impossible to kill monsters and the BOSS cannot be defeated, the only thing they can do is steal treasure chests to sustain their lives.
"Young man, unlocking a lock is not that easy!" the grocery store owner said. "You need to buy at least a hundred pieces of wire and practice more..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, the key lock on the treasure chest was opened.
Grocery store owner: “???”
“Ding!~”
System prompt: Congratulations on successfully mastering the skill [Lock Picking] (Difficulty: C)!
“It’s not easy!”
Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over the remaining nine wires in his hand: "Can I return them?"
"You...I..."
Under the resentful look of the grocery store owner, the young man left in a leisurely manner with the returned four silver coins and fifty copper coins.
Fifty copper coins to learn the lock picking skill!
What kind of people are these!
After walking out of the grocery store, Ye Feng couldn't wait to go to a deserted corner and slowly opened the treasure chest with great anticipation.
The more critical the moment, the more exciting it is!
He had a premonition that something precious was about to come out!
