Lynn felt a sudden inspiration and flipped a new card out with his right hand.
The next moment, the card transformed into a yellowed piece of parchment.
[Name: treasure map paper]
[Rank: C+]
[Type: Item Card]
[Background: Doraemon]
[Description: Disposable item. Hold with both hands and silently chant “Treasure Hunt.” The originally blank paper will reveal a map route pointing to a high-value treasure.]
treasure map paper, huh?
Not bad.
Lynn was easily satisfied; after all, it was just a Rank C trading card, so getting a Rank C+ reward was already a profit.
He hadn’t even given anything up; he had just copied a memory technique.
With that, the trait bar for Krus Snow Mountain had reached its end.
It had only provided two cards in total, but both were quite good, especially the Rank B Ice Make Magic.
Coincidentally, Krus Snow Mountain was known as the “Mountain of Treasure,” so Lynn decided to use it right then and there to see what kind of treasure he could find.
He held it with both hands and silently chanted “Treasure Hunt.”
Immediately, the parchment lit up, displaying the surrounding area on the map, complete with text instructions, as if it were afraid the user wouldn’t be able to find the treasure’s location.
That made sense; Doraemon was a childcare robot, so the items in his pocket would naturally be more user-friendly…
excluding things like the Galaxy Destruction Bomb, of course.
“Huh? What’s this? A map?”
Chopper, having returned to his normal size, jumped onto the chair, poked his little head out to get a clear look at the pattern on the parchment, and asked curiously.
“No, this is a treasure map.” Lynn smiled and rubbed Chopper’s hatless head; the fur felt very comfortable.
“Are you ready to go treasure hunting with me? It might be something incredible… like a Divine Artifact that could destroy the world.” Lynn joked.
“Oho—kakkoii (So cool)!” Chopper’s jaw dropped, and his eyes sparkled with stars.
“I want to go! I want to go!”
In just a few words, the man and the reindeer had made their plans for the treasure hunt.
According to the treasure map paper, the location was on the outskirts of the Ice and Snow Labyrinth, not far from Krus City.
They could make a round trip in a single day, so they didn’t need to carry much.
…
This was the most famous attraction on Krus Snow Mountain, bar none.
But only limited to the outermost perimeter.
The Ice and Snow Labyrinth was essentially an ice cave terrain formed by the local climate and unique soil; only a small portion existed above the surface, while most of the space was located underground.
There were occasional irregularly shaped openings on the surface.
The interior consisted of spaces of varying sizes made of solid ice, frozen soil, and other materials, all interconnected, occupying most of the underground space of Krus Snow Mountain.
The complex terrain and identical scenery made it a natural, high-difficulty labyrinth.
Once one went deep inside, it was highly likely to get lost and eventually die of hunger and cold.
Every year, the number of people confirmed missing here was in the triple digits.
Therefore, only the outermost perimeter was an attraction; only some bold treasure Hunters and adventurers would venture deep inside.
This included treasure Hunters from the Hunter Association.
The Ice and Snow Labyrinth was uniquely blessed; its location had nurtured countless treasures, such as rare minerals.
There had even been a lost tribal civilization on Krus Snow Mountain.
It was rumored that some treasures were hidden deep within the Ice and Snow Labyrinth, so even treasure Hunters who were Nen Users often came to the Ice and Snow Labyrinth.
However, the Ice and Snow Labyrinth was too dangerous.
In addition to the risk of getting lost, there were dangers from the terrain, unknown creatures, and more inside, so even Nen Users could potentially lose their lives there.
Inside the Ice and Snow Labyrinth, in a corridor.
A team temporarily composed of six people was exploring.
“Tch!”
“This place is really winding; everything looks the same.” The blonde guy spat, looking very impatient, and casually struck the ice wall beside him, blasting a large hole with a bang.
Ice shards splattered everywhere.
However, this scene did not surprise anyone present.
Because this team was composed entirely of Nen Users.
“Sorry, the Ice and Snow Labyrinth is indeed like this.” The young Man with Glasses scratched his cheek and said apologetically, “We’ll reach the treasure location after walking a bit further.”
He held a glowing disc in his hand, which was how he had become the nominal leader, guiding everyone forward.
At this moment, two magnetic voices came from somewhere.
“Well, it is the famous Ice and Snow Labyrinth, after all. As Nen Users, we shouldn’t lack even this much patience, right? Right, Magis?”
“That is so, Magio.”
He watched coldly, subconsciously moving further away from those two perverts.
Following his gaze, one could see the twins posing in a dance stance.
One arm was linked, the other arm extended outward, like a pair of conjoined swans, their heavily made-up faces wearing similar expressions.
The twins looked exactly the same, dressed in identical pink-toned tight dance outfits; they were practically cut from the same mold.
If they were a pair of sisters, it might have been a pleasing sight.
But unfortunately, they were a pair of muscular brothers, which made it extremely eye-straining.
The twins were extremely difficult to distinguish; the only difference was that the older brother, Magio, spoke more often and was usually the first to speak.
If they were weaker, the blonde guy could have just taken action to deal with these two things he found so unpleasant.
But as it happened, judging by their aura, the twins were not weak at all; at least, he had no confidence in defeating them.
“I don’t care about anything else; I just want the treasure! Expensive, rare treasure, hahahaha! Don’t you agree, little sister?”
On the other side, a man laughed heartily, his words full of desire for wealth.
The man had a rugged face, a pair of triangular eyes, and most strikingly, a pair of curled mustaches under his nose; he was 1.8 meters tall.
Theoretically, this height wasn’t short, but his younger sister beside him was 2.3 meters tall, standing out from the crowd.
Walking together, the brother appeared quite a bit shorter.
“Mm… yes…” Despite having a tall and mighty figure, the younger sister’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s.
She was too timid to speak loudly, which was a far cry from her appearance.
They were all weirdos…
The blonde guy walked forward impatiently.
If he hadn’t heard from the Man with Glasses that there was a way to find a large amount of treasure, he wouldn’t have joined this bizarre team.
In fact, this team had been assembled by the Man with Glasses, who had invited others to form the team on the grounds that he had the ability to find treasure but lacked the personal strength to do so.
Tap, tap—
When the group reached a multi-forked intersection, footsteps could be heard from another corridor.
Looking over, what came into view was a man with capable black hair and handsome features, and…
a reindeer?
As the blonde guy and the others sized them up, Lynn was also sizing up the other party.
He didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence to run into people in the Ice and Snow Labyrinth.
