    Boom boom boom-


    Several Frost Arrows bombarded the entrance of the cave, creating ripples on the transparent membrane, blocking all the attacks.


    Song Jian let out a sigh of relief and looked forward.


    This underwater cave didn’t seem too big. A narrow staircase stretched from the entrance all the way down, leading to the depths underground. Following this staircase, he should be able to find the treasure marked on the treasure map – the Eye of the Fire God.


    As Song Jian’s figure disappeared into the cave, the fish-headed monsters and water elementals that had been chasing him lost track of him. After searching for a while, they dispersed.


    When the fish-headed monsters ran from Wend Park to search for supplies, they rmed many yers. Some high-level yers, hearing about the fish-headed monsters’ movements, not only didn’t flee, but instead rushed towards the Level-io monster area.


    When they arrived in the nearby area, they received the same regional plot mission as Song Jian and began to form teams to hunt down these monsters.


    Just as they were enthusiastically hunting the fish-headed monsters, it seemed as if all the fish-headed monsters suddenly received a message, and they hurried back along the same path, heading towards Wend Park.


    System: A yer triggered a special plot, unlocking the plot “Guarding the Base”. Nearby yers can choose to ept the plot mission “Subjugation of Fish-Headed Monsters”. Complete the mission and receive generous rewards and war merits!


    Originally hunting the fish-headed monsters, the nearby yers were instantly excited, as they rarely encountered other side missions or plot missions besides the main mission.


    The reason they came to this Level-io monster area was because a regional mission had appeared. They knew that the more missions theypleted, the faster their Vitality Points would recover when they received main mission rewards. This was the divine skill to ensure that they would survive the next time they entered the game.


    “Who is so powerful that they can trigger a plot?”


    “What does this mean? The fish-headed monsters have run away, and I still have more than 20 fish-headed monsters left toplete my regional mission. What am I supposed to do now?”


    “Wend Park? Where is that? Oh, a Level-15 monster area. How are we supposed to handle that? It’s already difficult to fight in this Level-10 monster area. Level-15 is going to be deadly!”


    “Who can tell me what the use of war merits is?”


    “Whichever big shot triggered this plot, couldn’t it have been half an hourter? Speaking of which, do you get extra rewards for triggering a plot? Does anyone know who triggered this plot?”


    This sudden system message instantly caught the attention of all the yers nearby. It was the first time they’d seen someone trigger a game plot, and they were immediately curious about the person’s identity. Some even wanted to find the yer and kill him to take his ce, as being able to trigger a plot would surely yield arge number of extra rewards.


    Inparison to ordinary yers, those who had already formed war alliances were even more excited. Only they knew the use of war merits – it’s a great thing to upgrade the war alliance level and purchase special items at the war alliance shop. It’s much harder to obtain than Doomsday Coins. @@novelbin@@


    Apart frompleting asional extermination missions in the War Alliance, there was no other way to obtain war merits.


    “Our war alliance is only 300 war merits away from being promoted to Level 2. We can’t miss this plot mission. Everyone goes and tries to obtain more war merits!”


    “I already have my eyes on that Level-io silver-quality dagger in the war alliance shop. I’ll take part in this plot mission for sure. Afterpleting it, I’ll have enough war merits to buy that dagger!”


    “Let’s go, let’s go. Wend Park isn’t close to us. We have to hurry over, otherwise, we won’t even get a sip of the soup.”


    This plot mission triggered by Song Jian practically rmed half the yers in Doomsday City. All yers with a level above 10 flocked towards Wend Park, leaving those who hadn’t even chosen their professions behind, staring enviously at them. After all, that was a Level-15 monster area, and going there without a certain level of strength was simply seeking death;


    At this moment, Song Jian, who had invaded the fish-headed monsters HQ. and triggered the plot mission, was still slowly descending the staircase.


    The underground staircase was spiral-shaped, with mysterious Magic Runes depicted on the rocks on both sides. These Magic Runes glowed, illuminating the entire staircase.


    The narrow and long staircase was thankfully devoid of monster guards. Song Jian spent more than half an hour before finally reaching the bottom of the staircase and entering a spacious hall.


    The hall was about the size of a football field, surrounded by raging mes. The walls were carved with many paintings and strange characters. Numerous pirs stood on the ground, emitting a dark red glow.


    The entire hall resembled the Athenian Temple in the real world, with a rough architectural style, full of an ancient, barbaric atmosphere.


    At the depths of the hall, there was a brick-built altar, on which a golden treasure chest was ced. nking the altar, there were two massive knight statues wielding giant swords and wearing heavy armor, seemingly guarding the treasure chest.


    “Is this the treasure marked in the treasure map?” Song Jian’s eyes were fixed on the treasure chest on the altar: “The Eye of the Fire God should be in this chest. It must be the most precious treasure inside, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been marked in the treasure map.”


    Song Jian walked towards the altar, his target being the golden treasure chest on top. This was the second golden treasure chest he had ever seen, and the Eye of the Fire God, ording to his guess, must be a gold-quality item like the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword.


    At this stage, yers obtaining a blue-quality item were already incredible, and most yers had not even seen a golden item.


    As Song Jian stepped onto the altar, he felt a cold chill, as if someone was looking at him with murderous eyes. This chill came from the huge statues wielding swords and guarding the altar on both sides.


    “These two statues must be the guardians of the treasure chest. If 1 touch the chest, will theye to life and chase me?” Song Jian hesitated for a moment. However, after only giving it some thought, he gritted his teeth and continued walking towards the top of the altar. This was a gold-quality item, and it was worth talcing some risks for it.


    Soon, Song Jian reached the top of the altar and slowly opened the golden treasure chest in front of him. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst from the chest, illuminating the entire hall.


    After that, the golden light retreated into the chest, and three itemsy quietly inside.


    Song Jian didn’t hesitate and quickly collected all three items.


    The first item to catch his attention was a ring emitting a faint golden glow. Made of crimson gold, the ring had a cat’s eye-like gem embedded in its band. Fluid colors swirled within the golden iris, making it look as if a real eye was staring at Song Jian.
