Su Yu was very excited now; as long as he could see the hint, then wouldn't it be 100% safe for him to dig according to the coordinates on the treasure map?
Thirty minutes later, Su Yu circled around and arrived a kilometer away.
This was the location marked on the second treasure map.
"This place Seals a lake, inhabited by 75 Mermaids. Their upper bodies are fish, and their lower bodies are a pair of beautiful long legs. They are full of desire for humans, taking without limit. Are you sure you want to open this treasure map?"
Su Yu quietly finished reading the hint and immediately felt his head swell like an ox. He had finally made it here, and there was still danger?
"Damn it!"
"That's terrifying!"
"Mermaids? I actually encountered such a thing?"
Having gone through Transmigration, Su Yu had researched a lot online and naturally knew that Mermaids were divided into two types.
One type had human upper bodies and fish lower bodies. They were beautiful and mostly friendly.
But there was another type whose upper bodies were fish and lower bodies were a pair of human long legs. This type of Mermaid was full of malice towards humans, or rather, in their eyes, humans were purely their tools.
News reported that someone digging a treasure map unearthed the latter type of Mermaid, and That person eventually died from exhaustion.
It was said that a seven-foot man, originally 160 pounds, weighed less than 60 pounds when he died. 'Skin and bones' couldn't even describe That person.
It was truly horrific!
"Fortunately, fortunately, I can see the hints. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died."
Su Yu felt a lingering fear; if not for this, he would have died twice already.
"There are three treasure maps in total, and one is still left. My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Su Yu couldn't help but worry.
If none of the three treasure maps contained treasure, that would be too upsetting.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Su Yu looked up and immediately saw human powerhouses besieging a Dragon.
Although the Dragon was suppressed, the aftermath of the battle spread in all directions, causing countless casualties.
"It's too dangerous! I'll risk my life and continue digging!!!"
Su Yu dared not hesitate any longer. He quickly left; facing such a massive Dragon, he had no power to resist whatsoever.
A strong sense of crisis urged Su Yu to burst forth with unprecedented speed, rushing towards the location marked on the third treasure map.
"Whoosh~"
Forty minutes later, Su Yu was panting heavily, finally arriving outside a ruin.
Because of the Dragon's appearance, the people here had already fled, so Su Yu didn't see a single person.
"I hope the third treasure map won't disappoint me…" Su Yu took out the third treasure map and then gazed at it intently.
"A red fruit is Sealed here. Eat it, and you can become stronger!"
Golden characters appeared very clearly before Su Yu's eyes.
Su Yu's breathing couldn't help but quicken. "A red fruit? Eat it, and I can become stronger?"
"Eat! Must eat! I'll eat it now!"
Su Yu was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he immediately used the treasure map in his hand.
Immediately, a small space appeared before his eyes, quietly holding a red fruit, which seemed to pose no danger.
"This is… zhu que fruit!!!" Having gone through Transmigration, Su Yu had done a lot of homework and recognized it at a glance. This was a spiritual fruit officially named.
After ordinary consumption, one would become extraordinary and could improve one's talent, making it a very rare spiritual fruit.
Immediately, Su Yu put the zhu que fruit into his mouth. Before he could chew, the zhu que fruit turned into a warm current that flowed into his limbs and bones.
Su Yu clearly felt himself rapidly growing stronger.
Suddenly, Su Yu's vision blurred, and he saw nine huge chains appearing in a space.
Suddenly, a red force struck, breaking one of the chains.
Immediately, an incomparably powerful force surged throughout his body, and Su Yu's vision returned to normal.
"Is this power?" Su Yu clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, and thought to himself.
"Holy crap!" Suddenly, a cry of "Holy crap!" came, and Su Yu immediately looked in the direction of the sound, seeing space crack open dozens of meters away, and a zombie quickly crawl out.
At some unknown point, someone dozens of meters away had used a treasure map and dug out a zombie!
"Holy crap!"
Without any hesitation, Su Yu turned and ran. Although he now possessed very powerful strength, this was his self-perception. In reality, how strong he truly was, he had no idea.
"Brother, save me!" Su Yu had only run for two minutes when he heard someone calling for help behind him.
He subconsciously looked back and saw a fat man running towards him.
Behind the fat man, a zombie was chasing him.
"Sorry, I'm running for my life too!" Su Yu replied.
"Brother, save me. As long as you save me, I have another treasure map here that I can give you."
The fat man behind him said anxiously, almost crying. Although he was running very fast now, in just another minute or two, he wouldn't be able to run anymore.
His stamina was poor.
But the zombie could maintain a constant speed and catch up. By then, he would be dead.
"Hmm?" Su Yu stopped and looked back, his face showing hesitation.
Although he still had two treasure maps, he dared not use them.
The only way to become stronger was to have more treasure maps.
But acquiring treasure maps was simply too difficult.
Ordinary people could obtain one treasure map per year.
To obtain more treasure maps, one had to protect the country and all of humanity.
It was said that even Advanced treasure maps and super treasure maps might be acquired this way.
However, for ordinary people to protect the country, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Being able to ensure one's own survival was already quite good.
Of course, there was another way, which was to buy treasure maps with money.
But who would be willing to sell their treasure map?
Even if they knew that using a treasure map might unearth terrifying dangers, couldn't they just keep it?
Su Yu's original body was like this.
"Brother, I'm serious. As long as you save me, this treasure map is yours."
The fat man was almost in tears. He took out a treasure map and, without any hesitation, threw it directly to Su Yu.
Su Yu caught the treasure map, looked up at the zombie, and felt that his speed seemed to be faster than the zombie's. Only then did he nod and say, "Okay, I promise you!"
Immediately, Su Yu looked left and right, picked up a trash can from the roadside, and slammed it hard into the zombie.
Bang!
The zombie's head exploded directly, its body fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.
"Hoo~ Hoo~" The fat man stopped, looking at this scene with some surprise, then gave Su Yu a thumbs up, panting, and said, "Brother, that was amazing! I originally thought we'd work together to take down this zombie, but you just instantly killed it! Looking at it this way, brother, you're already a warrior?"
When ordinary people gained extraordinary power, they became warriors.
According to information released online, there were nine shackles in a person's body. As long as any one of these shackles broke, an ordinary person would become a warrior.
"Mm." Su Yu nodded and asked, "Did you only dig out one zombie?"
"Fortunately, there was only one zombie. If there were more, I'd be dead!" The fat man said with great lingering fear.
"You're really lucky." Su Yu nodded in strong agreement.
According to records, those who dug out zombies had at least ten.
The fat man digging out one was truly very lucky.
If it were ten, even if Su Yu wanted to help, he might be powerless.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Goodbye!" Su Yu waved his hand, turned, and quickly left.
"Hey, I wanted to ask if you collect treasure maps? After this incident, I don't dare to dig anymore!" The fat man muttered helplessly.
