Chapter 451: Chapter 457: The Final Treasure Chest

Hang Yu could single-handedly defeat a Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon at level 14.

Let alone after leveling up to 15?

Against other types of Silver Level Overlord Monsters, he would most likely lose one-on-one.

Now against these Silver Level Overlord Monsters that mainly use Fire Attribute attacks, as long as Hang Yu has enough potions, is cautious, and doesn’t make any fatal errors, there’s almost no chance of defeat.

No unexpected events happened!

The second Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon fell.

Hang Yu checked the time: "Not bad, efficiency has doubled. There are five more locations. I should complete this within two days!"

Hang Yu picked up the items dropped by the Red Flood Dragon and used his Collection Skill to gather Red Flood Dragon’s Flesh and Red Flood Dragon Pearls, tossing the pearls to Er Gou.

Then he opened the Treasure Chest.

No surprises, and nothing exciting.

He obtained another piece of purple item fragment from the chest, a few blue items including a Skill Scroll and Advanced Materials, but no Equipment, Skill Stones, or formulas.

The Imperial Box Opener wasn’t around.

The luck had worsened significantly!

Hang Yu sighed.

Fortunately, the fragments were guaranteed.

The quality of other items was also decent, plus the several tens of thousands of Spiritual Qi provided by the Red Flood Dragon, and the massive amount of Spiritual Qi Essence, these were invaluable gains.

"Let’s go!"

"To the next place!"

Hang Yu didn’t want to waste a single minute.

Over the next day, he went to four locations in succession.

He took down four Red Flood Dragons, opened four Treasure Chests, and obtained four "Doomsday Nether Flame" fragments, as well as a piece of Bright Blue Holy Profession Shield and a Light Blue Spiritual Professional Weapon, both level 15 Equipment, extremely valuable.

Additionally, he continuously acquired two Fourth Tier Skill Stones for Combat Professionals, three Flame Flood Dragon Jewelry Crafting Blueprints, several high-level precious Bright Blue Materials, with a total of more than eight hundred Blue Crystal Stones.

Looking at such gains, it absolutely qualified as immense.

It’s just too unfortunate that Hang Yu didn’t obtain anything suitable for himself, but it didn’t matter, for him, these were just bonuses, the truly important item was the Doomsday Nether Flame, a piece of purple Equipment.

Even the combined value of dozens of blue items wouldn’t compare to a piece of purple Equipment!

Even if he didn’t get anything else, just a single purple piece would make it worthwhile!

In addition, by using the acquired Spiritual Qi, he fully upgraded all the Fourth Tier Skills, including Fury of the Mad Demon and Fighting Qi Armor.

Hang Yu still had over thirty thousand points of Spiritual Qi in excess, with Spiritual Qi Essence accumulation exceeding 50%, thanks to consecutively killing five Overlords, plus hundreds of Elites and dozens of Lords!

Er Gou thoroughly digested three Flood Dragon Pearls and evolved.

Other pearls were given to the Big Ant, which finally evolved too.

Hang Yu’s two Spirit Beasts both experienced significant growth, reaching the strength level of 14.

The Dog evolved into a Golden Lord.

The Human-faced Ant Queen evolved into a Silver Lord.

The Dog’s evolution didn’t grant new skills but enhanced existing ones, with one of its main skills, "Wolf Soul Avatar," transforming into "Advanced Wolf Soul Avatar."

The clones summoned by Er Gou, not only had doubled Life Energy and Spiritual Power, but could now replicate two of the original’s Skills instead of just one, achieving a qualitative leap in strength.

The Human-faced Ant Queen acquired a new skill, "Ant Swarm Evolution"!

The level 14 Silver Lord level Human-faced Ant Queen could now summon five equivalent Bronze Lord level Giant Ants, plus over forty Elite level Giant Ants, across more than eight types.

If it forgoes summoning combat-type Giant Ants and uses all its Summoning Power to cultivate Worker Ants, it could create over three hundred Worker Ants at once, truly becoming a super construction team.

This newly acquired skill "Ant Swarm Evolution" is a Passive Skill, whereby all Giant Ants summoned by the Human-faced Ant Queen will evolve to become Flying Ants like it.

Each of them now has the ability to fly!

In addition, the strength and quantity of their skills have improved!

Yes, one could say that after this journey, the two Spirit Beasts grew rapidly, and with their current strength, they could handle things independently, becoming Hang Yu’s powerful assistants.

For two whole days, Hang Yu didn’t waste a single minute.

He returned to the present world three times, just resting briefly to replenish food and various potions, then continued into the Spirit Realm, moving tirelessly.

"The last one!"

"Just one more left!"

"This one is a bit far!"

Hang Yu, along with Bai, Er Gou, and Big Ant, advanced quickly.

When they reached the vicinity of their destination, Er Gou suddenly shouted, "Awooo, boss, there’s something unusual!"

After Er Gou’s latest evolutionary upgrade, its reconnaissance capability doubled, and Hang Yu didn’t dare to take its warning lightly.

"What’s going on?"

Er Gou replied, "Awooo, right around here, there’s a special aura, should be a team, not many people, about seven or eight."

Hang Yu frowned.

This wasn’t good news at all!

Some team must have found the entrance.

They first sent a few people to form an elite group for reconnaissance.

No matter which faction this team was from, being discovered by them could be very troublesome!

Hang Yu asked, "How far are they?"

Er Gou responded, "Shouldn’t be too far from us."

With a serious expression, Hang Yu pondered and finally made a decision: "Er Gou, stay here. If anyone tries to approach the destination, no matter the cost, you must stop them!"

The Dog quickly said, "Woof woof, I fear my heart may not be sufficient for this task!"

Hang Yu gave Er Gou all the Blue Skill Scrolls he had just obtained, and a pile of high-quality Green Skill Scrolls. "All these things are for you, not to fight them head-on, but to use your dog brain, got it?"

The Dog thought for a moment.

If it’s just stalling, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

The boss’s destination is still twenty to thirty minutes away, with several intersections along the way, the scouting team might not even find the Treasure Chest’s location, and even if they come over, it’ll likely take some time.

That was the last Treasure Chest.

The fragment inside is very important to the boss!

Er Gou didn’t waste more words: "Leave it to me, Master Woof understood, it’s on me!"

The Dog immediately stayed behind to prepare for whatever may come.

With a determined expression, Hang Yu murmured to himself, "This is the final moment, cannot afford failure!"

Pick up the pace!

Must speed up!

Hang Yu quickly arrived near the Magma Lake. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Hang Xiaobai triggered the Light of Illusion, covering Hang Yu’s entry safely.

Bai stayed at the canyon exit to control the field, preventing wandering monsters from approaching.

Meanwhile, Hang Yu launched an attack on the Single-Horned Red Flood Dragon in the lava without a word.

Although his onslaught was fierce,

the Overlord Monster still had a massive amount of health.

After less than ten minutes of fighting with the Red Flood Dragon,

Er Gou, through the connection of the Spirit Beast Contract, communicated, "Awooo, boss, things don’t look good, the other side also has a reconnaissance expert, they’ll most likely find our aura and definitely arrive here."

Hang Yu continued attacking the Red Flood Dragon as he replied, "How long until they arrive?"

The Dog replied, "I estimate 15-20 minutes."

Hang Yu quickly calculated, "Figure out a way to stall them for another 20 minutes. As long as you can do it, I’ll reward you with five hundred Blue Crystals."

"Whooo? What? Five hundred Blue Crystals?"

Er Gou was clearly shocked by Hang Yu’s offer.

The Dog also had some personal savings and had hoarded quite a few treasures through hard work, but as a working dog, its wealth wasn’t much, and five hundred Blue Crystals to Er Gou was a fortune!

Well, not just for Er Gou, five hundred Blue Crystals would be a considerable amount for anyone.

"Awooo, just 20 minutes?" The Dog immediately perked up, "Boss, don’t worry, I’ll risk my life as a dog to keep them busy outside!"

For this windfall,

Er Gou was willing to give it his all!

Hang Yu believed Er Gou could do it.

After all, Er Gou was already a Golden Lord level Spirit Beast.

A smart Golden Lord was as troublesome as any Overlord monster, and with Er Gou skillfully using high-level Scrolls and potions, stalling them for just twenty or thirty minutes would be a breeze.

Can’t afford to get distracted!

After finalizing his arrangements,

Hang Yu focused entirely on the Red Flood Dragon.

Soon, the Red Flood Dragon’s life diminished further, closing in on 5%!

Hang Yu relaxed, "It’s over!"

With the Light-Seeking Sword and Mad Demon Frenzy Slash,

Hang Yu finished off the Red Flood Dragon with this powerful Finishing Skill!

No one interrupted throughout the process. Through the connection with Er Gou, he could clearly sense that the Dog was in combat, implying the opposition was already nearby.

However,

it was too late!

Hang Yu collected the numerous precious materials dropped by the Red Flood Dragon.

Upon opening the last Treasure Chest,

six items flew out at once.

Two purples!

Four bright blues!

Hang Yu was momentarily stunned.

One of those purple items had to be the final Doomsday Nether Flame fragment!

But with two purple items, what was the other one?
