For every player who hunts for treasures, they generally do not use the Treasure Map themselves. The chance of finding a Treasure Cave or Tomb is quite low, and even if they manage to enter a Tomb, it is extremely dangerous. Without the right skills, it would be a waste of effort. If one does not have a large number of maps to spend, it is impossible to obtain good items. Therefore, unless one is a professional treasure hunter, most are essentially engaging in a losing trade, leading them to hoard maps until someone is willing to buy them.
Before long, Wang Xiaojing and the others completed their ten treasure hunts with remarkable results. Qiu Han unsurprisingly found the most Treasure Maps, obtaining eight out of ten. This was not just a matter of luck; others also found seven Treasure Maps. With Lufeng's map included, they had exactly thirty maps, which could sell for nearly one hundred gold coins. However, selling maps was not something Lufeng and the others needed to do; after their treasure hunting, they might still need to acquire more maps.
After everyone traded their Treasure Maps to Qiu Han, Lufeng also handed over the team leader position to Qiu Han. The two exchanged glances, and Lufeng nodded slightly, giving Qiu Han great encouragement and trust.
Qiu Han was not one to dawdle; he quickly arranged the positions of the Treasure Maps. Each Treasure Map recorded different locations, and they needed to be dug up in order to avoid confusion. This alone showed that Qiu Han was a professional treasure hunter.
Qiu Han organized the treasure hunting routes into three paths: Luoyang, Suzhou, and Dali:
(Yanbei 1. Yan Nan - Grassland - Changbai Mountain - Huanglong Mansion Liaoxi)
(Longquan 2. West Lake - Wuyi - South China Sea - Qiongzhou Meiling)
(Cangshan 3. Erhai - Stone Forest - Nanshao - Miaojiang Yuxi)
Yanbei, Liaoxi, Longquan, Meiling, Cangshan, and Yuxi all followed single routes; these places were subsidiary to the main routes. They only needed to dig along the way to save time effectively.
After arranging all the treasure maps, it was also necessary to fill up the inventory with tools and materials; this is common knowledge for treasure hunting that Qiu Han naturally would not forget. Fortunately, Asking Heaven allowed stacking of treasure maps; otherwise, thirty treasure maps would not fit into twenty inventory slots.
Subsequently, Lufeng and the others arrived at the teleportation station and set their positions. Once Qiu Han organized his inventory, Lufeng traded the Golden Elixir Gourd and Hide-and-Seek to Qiu Han. Seeing that he was about to refuse, Lufeng quickly said, "If you enter the Tomb, you'll need these. If you get killed by monsters in the Treasure Cave, that would be even worse."
Qiu Han thought for a moment but decided to accept Lufeng's items and firmly said, "Don't worry; treasure hunting is my favorite. After I finish digging up treasures, I'll return Hide-and-Seek to you."
Lufeng smiled lightly: "We'll see about that later; let's set off!"
Qiu Han nodded and activated team follow mode. According to the location shown on the first Treasure Map, Qiu Han planned to start from Erhai. If he entered the Tomb himself, Lufeng and the others could complete tasks in Erhai as well—truly a win-win situation.
Erhai is located south of Dali City. Qiu Han and the others first teleported to Dali and then headed south toward the city while chatting along the way.
The scenery in Dali is no longer enough to attract everyone; everyone's mind is captivated by treasure hunting and brushing mounts, dreaming of striking it rich with a Skill Book.
“How much do you think a high-level treasure Skill Book is worth now?” Wang Xiaojing raised her head and asked the crowd.
Gao Chao, quick to respond, answered, “That depends on which Skill Book it is. Among the hundreds of Skill Books, there are dozens of high-level treasure Skill Books. If it's one of the four major offensive Skill Books, it’s worth at least a few thousand gold coins. If it's a possession-type, it could be worth several hundred gold coins. In short, treasure Skill Books are rare and hard to come by; they don't drop easily.”
“Duh!” Wang Xiaojing retorted. For some reason, seeing Gao Chao's smug face annoyed her.
Gao Chao rolled his eyes. “Then why did you ask!”
Wang Xiaojing lightly bit her lip. “I wasn't asking you!”
Gao Chao turned his head away angrily and said, “A good man doesn’t argue with a woman!”
Wang Xiaojing chuckled. “A good woman doesn’t argue with a dog!”
“You—hmph!”
Gao Chao angrily pointed at Wang Xiaojing but ended up losing the argument in her triumphant demeanor.
Lufeng smiled slightly. “Alright, you two always bicker when you meet. It’s really something. We’re about to enter West Lake; let’s just pray for the best two scenarios to happen.”
Murong Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “What two scenarios?”
Lufeng didn’t answer and gestured for Qiu Han to speak.
Qiu Han calmly said, “Horses and entering the Tomb!”
Murong Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "So we can actually enter the Tomb! Does that mean we can dig up a lot of good stuff?"
Lufeng shook his head in disbelief, while Qiu Han wiped the sweat from his brow and slowly explained the details about the treasure map...
In Heavenly Dragon, treasure hunting was originally a solo endeavor. As for Asking Heaven, Qiu Han had no idea, but the basic settings wouldn't change, so he relied on his previous knowledge of Heavenly Dragon to explain treasure hunting to Murong Xiaoxiao. The reason for going as a team was that they could farm horses together, and using the Treasure Map could randomly result in six different scenarios:
The first scenario involved digging up silver coins, usually ranging from 40 to 90 silver coins, which was considered a loss. Currently, a single Treasure Map was worth about 3 to 4 gold coins, akin to a stock market crash.
The second scenario was one that Lufeng needed; it involved releasing Bandit. Typically, 3 to 5 Treasure Bandits would appear near the treasure hunting site. There would also be horses in other fixed locations on the map. When releasing Bandit, a total of 10 would appear. These Bandits had high attack and defense stats and were much stronger than regular bosses, offering substantial rewards with a chance to drop various Skill Books. However, it depended on luck; aside from that, there were also significant Experience rewards, although most drops were junk. In short, the more they farmed, the better their chances of obtaining a Skill Book.
The third scenario directly yielded items but usually resulted in losses as well, often worse than finding silver coins.
The fourth scenario involved encountering Grave Robbers. It was generally better to avoid these Grave Robbers, who were also poor and had never entered a Tomb. Defeating them was pointless as they only dropped junk items. In such cases, Qiu Han would naturally choose to flee.
The fifth scenario involved falling into a Treasure Cave—the Tomb. This required a calm approach; once Qiu Han entered the Treasure Cave, he would devise strategies based on the distribution of chests within the Tomb.
The sixth scenario involved triggering traps, which was undoubtedly the worst outcome. It meant losing everything—not only would they find nothing, but their health would also drop to critical levels, forcing them to cover their own medical expenses.
After learning all this information, Murong Xiaoxiao became even more excited about farming horses and even fantasized about digging for treasures in the Tomb. Fortunately, under the kind deception of Lufeng and others who warned her about the dangers of the Tomb, she abandoned her desire to treasure hunt.
Before long, under Qiu Han's leadership, everyone entered Erhai.
Experiencing the scenery of Erhai virtually gave Lufeng a fresh natural experience: "The water sparkled like a mirror reflecting the sky; the mountains were lush and green throughout the seasons." Lufeng frequently gazed at the beautiful landscape of Erhai.
Regarding treasure hunting, Qiu Han was very confident. During his previous playthrough of Heavenly Dragon, he had lost count of how many times he had entered a Tomb, almost going in ten times daily. This time in Erhai, he had three Treasure Maps, giving him an 80% chance of entering a Tomb.
Soon enough, Qiu Han found the location of the nearest Treasure Map. He smiled at Lufeng, saying, "Boss, which one of the four major attack Skill Books do you want? I will definitely get you one. Once your Sunglasses Cat learns it, it will surely be even more effective."
"Good for you, Fourth, showing favoritism! My Sunglasses Cat also deserves to be equipped with a high-level Skill Book," Qin Shou joked.
Wang Xiaojing immediately retorted, "No way, your cat isn't worth the money for a Skill Book; learning it would be a waste."
"Just a high-level Blood Explosion, no need for the four major groups!" Qin Shou said with a flattering smile.
Wang Xiaojing smiled slightly and teased, "That won't work either!"
Lufeng shook his head and said with a laugh, "Let's just get started. It's still early, and you all are making this interesting. Fourth, you set the military order yourself; I'll give you a week. If you can't get Blood Poison Ten Thousand Miles by then, you won't be allowed to dig for treasures anymore!"
"Not a problem!" Qiu Han confidently nodded.
Once everyone stopped bickering, Qiu Han calmly used the first Treasure Map, and everyone eagerly awaited the result.
"Ding!"
System prompt: Your inventory is full; please free up a slot.
Qiu Han continued to use it without concern, but suddenly everyone was plunged into darkness and fell into the Tomb.
