CHAPTER 1773: CHAPTER 1522 SKILL ATTRIBUTES (TWO IN ONE)

An ancient treasure map?!

Su Ran heard about such a treasure map for the first time. The words "ancient" made it worthy of scrutiny, and its value was likely not comparable to ordinary treasure maps. However, this was just his guess; everything still depended on the official explanation.

"That’s right, it’s indeed an ancient treasure map."

Uncle Yu was quite satisfied with Su Ran’s surprised expression and explained leisurely, "This is a treasure map left over from ancient times, its value is immeasurable!"

"Of course."

After speaking, Uncle Yu shifted his tone and continued, "So many millennia have passed, and it’s possible someone might have gotten there first. If you go treasure hunting, there’s a chance you’ll come up empty-handed, I’m telling you in advance to avoid you thinking I tricked you later."

"Damn, isn’t this just luring kids with sweets? Sounds nice, but an ancient treasure is definitely a setup!"

Banana, upon hearing this, instantly understood and urged repeatedly, "Brother Overturning Water, you must not take this ancient treasure map. Even the NPC says there’s a high chance you’ll end up empty-handed. It’s better to be practical and take a thousand divine coins!"

"I agree with Banana’s opinion, Overturning Water, you must think it over carefully before deciding. Though these divine coins can’t be used in our domain yet, they’ll be useful eventually, and it’s a visible reward, better than illusions."

Xue Wuqing and Banana shared the same opinion, advising against taking this treasure map. After so many millennia, no one can guarantee it hasn’t exceeded its expiration date. If it’s just a useless piece of paper, wouldn’t it be a waste of this rare opportunity?

"Don’t look at me, I don’t know anything, I’m just watching the fun and staying quiet."

Seeing Su Ran’s gaze linger on Qing Qi, she quickly expressed her stance, refusing to take any responsibility.

"Senior, I only have one question."

Su Ran pondered for a moment before saying, "Is this treasure map related to the Dark Honored One? I hope you can tell me truthfully."

"Indeed, this treasure map guides to a place related to the Dark Honored One. I’ve been there a few times, but unfortunately failed, unable to connect with the treasure map. When forced, nothing comes of it, so I had to give up."

Uncle Yu glanced at the treasure map with regret, staring intently at Su Ran’s deep eyes, "You’ve inherited from the Dark Honored One, you should be able to unlock this ancient treasure map by then. In my guess, this treasure land is yet to be uncovered. Nephew, I have faith in you."

"Tch, sounds nice. With the coordinates marked on the treasure map, how couldn’t you find the treasure? How dumb must you be?"

Banana unceremoniously retorted, ever since learning of Uncle Yu’s convict background, he never looked at him properly again, "And you went several times too, I think the treasure land must be full of danger. You’re deliberately sending us to our deaths, aren’t you?"

"You elf, you’re really unruly. Keep talking and you might bring about your own death!"

Uncle Yu glared at Banana with malice, speaking coldly, clearly enraged by Banana’s words. If circumstances allowed, he would’ve acted already.

"Haha, honorable envoy sir, I’ve always been like this, my temper is really hard to change. If you can’t stand me, you’re welcome to take me down!"

Banana couldn’t wait to start a fight with Uncle Yu. As long as it’s within this domain, the guy would be affected by repulsive forces, plus Brother Overturning Water’s air-restriction stone and the presence of the Ghost King Drought Fiend, the possibility of taking him down isn’t small. Since Brother Overturning Water didn’t want to act, provoking this prisoner to start a battle would naturally follow.

"Banana, stop messing around! You can’t be disrespectful to the senior!"

In this tense moment, Su Ran spoke up, mediating the situation, "Senior, don’t bother with him. It’s just his stubborn temper, he won’t listen even if you tell him, he’ll pay for it eventually."

Seeing Brother Overturning Water had spoken, Banana knew the fight wouldn’t happen, so he said no more and stepped aside, staying twenty centimeters away from the plague poison mist, cautiously even with his breathing, fearing catching the terrible plague again.

"Nephew, you’re sensible, no wonder you can manage a domain. The choice is yours, do you want a thousand divine coins or this ancient treasure map?"

Uncle Yu, being constrained in this domain, wouldn’t easily start a conflict even when provoked. Su Ran’s words provided a buffer and he hurriedly took the opportunity to wait for Su Ran’s decision.

The restorative liquid was extremely important to him, concerning the repair of his wings. A pair of chicken wings was just too unsightly and disrespectable, frequently drawing scrutinizing eyes when he led his army to the Demonic Treasure Mountain. There was much doubt over his role as a Divine Domain envoy, but thankfully, with the Recruitment Order from the Human Emperor, he managed to suppress all outcries without any mishaps.

"Senior, I choose that ancient treasure map, planning to take a chance there."

Su Ran did not heed Banana and the others’ advice, insisting on choosing the archaically styled treasure map, "There are clues about the Dark Honored One there, I must visit at least once, even if it means facing danger!"

"Brother, I’ll go with you!"

Banana, touched by Su Ran’s emotions, was the first to express his willingness, though feeling somewhat regretful over the thousand divine coins. However, as it was not his task, he could only follow Su Ran’s lead.
