Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Defeat the Lizardman to Unlock Treasure Chests and Enter the Mysterious Cave!Lin Yue quickly picked up the treasure chest on the ground and immediately ran in the direction where Bai had gone. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    That Lizardman was definitely no match for Bai. Judging by their equipment, they weren’t too different from him, and humanoid monsters like this are far easier to deal with than mutant creatures like the Tiger-striped Shadow Deer!

    "Pujji!"

    Bai’s voice erupted not far away, and Lin Yue immediately felt a chill.

    He sped up his pace and ran over. In the darkness, he saw a fallen torch.

    "Pujji!" Bai let out another high-pitched call, followed by a scream, and Lin Yue heard the long-awaited special system notification.

    [You have obtained a Special Copper Treasure Chest]

    Special chests are a type that appears when Bai fights mutant creatures, the last time it dropped was when Bai was just getting used to combat.

    Since then, Bai had tirelessly taken out one mutant creature after another, but not once did a special chest drop.

    This time, Bai finally had a stroke of luck, just like its owner.

    "Bai, are you okay?" Lin Yue called out as he walked over.

    "Pujji puji~"

    In the dim environment, Lin Yue felt Bai nudging his leg again and managed to pet Bai’s head, feeling much more at ease inside.

    Bai’s behavior also indicated that there were no more enemies.

    Lin Yue took a deep breath and turned on the flashlight again.

    He quickly found the dead body of the Lizardman a few meters away, along with the special Copper Treasure Chest beside it.

    Putting the chest into the Storage Space, Lin Yue shone the flashlight on the Lizardman’s neck, where there was a deep cut.

    Before Lin Yue was an ugly creature that was a hybrid of human and reptile traits.

    It had a head like a greatly enlarged triangular lizard’s, with a blood-red bifurcated tongue hanging out of its mouth full of sharp teeth, and lifeless eyes that were crocodilian-yellow with black pupils, and finely detailed green scales covering its entire body. Its strong, massive tail trailed behind it.

    It looked so ugly, terrifying, and bizarre.

    Lin Yue noticed that this Lizardman possessed razor-sharp claws, and there was even webbing between its fingers, suggesting they were skilled swimmers.

    He picked up the weapon clutched tightly in its hand and found it was a crude stone spear, its sharp black stone head bound to a wooden stick, while the other arm was equipped with a shield made of wood fragments tied with string.

    Frowning, Lin Yue examined other details on the corpse and noticed a feather necklace around its neck, as well as a headband with a black stone on its head.

    Lizardman...

    What exactly are they?

    Lin Yue looked around the perfectly crafted stone walls of the passage, examining the intricate carvings above, and the large jars placed at intervals on either side, plunging him into thought.

    Were these created by Lizardmen? Despite using stone spears, they should not have been able to construct such smooth-walled Underground Divine Halls.

    Moreover, Lin Yue found another thing quite unbelievable.

    According to the system, this is the so-called "Underground Divine Hall".

    An earthquake of magnitude eight had just occurred, yet there was no sign of it here. Especially since this is underground, it should’ve been the first to be destroyed during an earthquake.

    Lin Yue felt that ever since he arrived here, endless questions have constantly arisen.

    "Bai, we should head back. It’s not safe to stay here too long." Lin Yue felt he needed to return.

    How many Lizardmen are there, and will they send more after seeing their comrade’s corpse?

    These are all uncertain questions.

    "Pujji!" Bai suddenly dashed further away, leaving Lin Yue confused. What was Bai up to?

    He trotted after Bai down the tunnel, even noticing that Bai didn’t stop at the previous fork in the path and instead kept going forward.

    Did Bai find something?

    Lin Yue was puzzled, but it didn’t seem like they had discovered any enemies.

    "Pujji!" Bai suddenly turned a corner and disappeared, and when Lin Yue followed, he discovered a cave-in had created an opening.

    Lin Yue found that their line of yarn was no longer sufficient.

    Shining the flashlight inside, Lin Yue was surprised to see something glimmering within.

    What... is this?

    "Pujji!" Bai’s voice sounded from deeper within, prompting Lin Yue to glance at the entrance and jump in.

    He soon realized he had entered a passage just wide enough for one person, with the ground transitioning from stone tiles to jagged rocks, and the objects that reflected his flashlight’s glow were not far ahead.

    Proceeding cautiously, he reached the shining objects and immediately recognized the hexagonal, translucent materials before him.

    [You have obtained White Crystal (High Quality) X1]

    White Crystal!

    This was an unexpected find!

    Lin Yue continued to illuminate the area with the flashlight, discovering even more items.

    [You have obtained White Crystal (Common) X2]

    [You have obtained Amethyst (Common) X1]

    [You have obtained Amethyst (High Quality) X2]

    [You have obtained Titanium Iron Ore (Low Quality) X1]

    Hmm?

    There seemed to be some weird things mixed in?

    Titanium Iron Ore... Titanium?

    Wait, is it that titanium he knows?

    Titanium combined with other metals to form Titanium Alloys, widely used in aerospace, military, industry, automotive, agricultural food, medical fields, and more!

    Wow, it seems he’s really found a treasure.

    Lin Yue took the Titanium Iron Ore out of the Storage Space to find it was a silver-gray ore, and this type of ore...

    Lin Yue looked around, incessantly searching with the flashlight.

    Stalactites, stalagmites, crystal pillars, rugged rock walls, and... wait, there seemed to be a whole section of that stuff over there!

    He’s struck gold!

    Lin Yue began collecting the crystals and extending his reach towards the sizeable Titanium Iron Ore!

    He exerted some effort, pushing his way through.

    [You have obtained Titanium Iron Ore (Low Quality) X1]

    [You have obtained...]

    As the system continued to notify him, the amount of Titanium Iron Ore in Lin Yue’s Storage Space steadily increased.

    However, all of it was low quality.

    Lin Yue also gathered some crystals and even found a small rock with golden veining.

    To avoid confusion, he spent survival points to appraise them one by one.

    "Hmm? Is it really a Gold Mine?"

    [You have obtained Gold Mine (Low Quality) X1]

    [You have obtained Zeolite Ore (High Quality) X1]

    [You have obtained Ruby (Common) X1]

    Hold on.

    What on Earth is up with this mineral distribution that completely defies Earth’s ore association rules?

    "Pujji!"

    "Pujji puji!"

    Just then, Bai’s continuous voice sounded, causing Lin Yue to set aside his ore gathering.

    He first needed to follow Bai. What had this little creature discovered?

    However, as he continued toward the source of the voice, Lin Yue suddenly found himself entering an immense space.

    "Pujji!"

    Bai’s voice rang out again, and Lin Yue looked towards the sound, only to find that who came running wasn’t actually Bai!
