This was obviously a little unexpected for Mike and Stone. The things that they so excitedly discussed had taken a sharp turn into another direction.

Mike was silent for a moment and said, “Although we can’t be heroes anymore, we still have more interesting things to do next.”

“What things?” Stone’s mind was simple after all, so he was immediately distracted by Mike’s new suggestion.

Mike smiled and said, “Treasure hunting!”

“Treasure hunting?!” The small tree spirit stone’s eyes lit up.

Treasure hunting seemed to be a very interesting activity for him. He rubbed his two branches excitedly and asked, “What kind of treasure is it? Is it around here? What’s in the treasure?”

The small tree spirit’s reaction made Mike find it very amusing. He pretended to be mysterious and said, “This is a very huge treasure. The treasure inside is enough for us to live comfortably for more than five thousand years!”

“Wow!!!” The small tree spirit became even more excited as it waved its hand to ask another question. “How long is five thousand years?”

“Very, very long!”

“Is it longer than a week?”

“… Yes!”

“That’s great. Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and set off!!” The little tree spirit nudged Mike at his elbow and could not help but rush him to move. It was as if the treasure was in front of Mike.

With the temptation of a type of treasure that would last more than a week, it seemed that even something as boring as walking became interesting.

Mike smiled slightly, took out the token from his backpack and said, “This is the key to the treasure house. With it…”

Before he finished his sentence, the token in Mike’s hand suddenly lit up.

This kind of brightness was not the same as the Soul Stone. It was localized — only the saber and the gold coin on the token lit up.

The flame on the fire saber on the token emitted a red light.

The gold coin, on the other hand, emitted a golden light.

Seeing this scene, Mike was stunned. He originally thought that the token was just an ordinary key. He did not expect it to have such an odd effect.

According to his experiments, the glow of this item could only mean one thing.

It meant that the treasure vault was nearby!

The small tree spirit stone looked at the glowing token and immediately became excited.

“Wow, this token is really amazing!”

“I think the treasure should be around here, but I can’t remember the exact location.”

“Then what should we do?”

The little tree spirit became annoyed.

Mike sighed and said, “We can only look around and slowly search. After all, it’s obvious that the treasure vault won’t make a sound to tell us where it is.”

As soon as Mike finished speaking, the valley not far ahead suddenly began to tremble. Then, a dragon’s roar that almost parted the clouds was heard from the valley.

This voice seemed to carry the dignity of a person knowing that they are at the top of the food chain. It was as if the entire world should submit to this dragon’s roar.

In an instant, the Sky and Earth changed their color!

Mike’s eyes widened, and he was completely shocked.

Because this dragon’s roar should only appear after a year, when the new district and the main district merged.

According to the progress of his previous life, there was no dragon’s roar in the new district. Otherwise, this matter would have alarmed everyone long ago.

What on Earth was going on?!

Mike was extremely shocked by the sound, but the tree spirit was very happy.

“Good friend, listen! The treasure vault is really letting out a sound to tell us where it is!”

Mike’s eyes twitched twice.

That was not the sound of a treasure vault, that was a f*cking dragon’s roar!!

Although he was shocked, Mike knew that he had to hurry. This dragon’s roar was so loud that it was probably heard by the entire second world.

The NPCs would avoid the giant dragon, they only had one life after all. There was no reason for them to seek death in front of such a legendary creature.

However, players were not afraid of death! To them, the more powerful the monster was, the greater the benefits. Even if they died ten or eighty times, they would still take the risk to see if there were any benefits to be gained.

If Mike could guess correctly, a large number of players would soon gather here.

He had to find the treasure before them and obtain the dragon scale!

As for how to defeat the dragon after he found it, that was something to be considered later.

Under normal circumstances, with the Umbrella of Meredith and his other skills, Mike should not have to worry about being killed by the dragon.

Even if the dragon had a special way to kill Mike, he would only lose a little experience.

For Mike, the benefits were greater than the risks, so he did not hesitate at all.

Thinking of this, Mike immediately picked up the small tree spirit and rushed toward the valley ahead.

They passed through a narrow valley entrance and through a small forest to finally arrive at a huge mountain.

The mountain looked no different from any other ordinary mountain. However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be several very long cracks in the mountain wall. When these cracks were combined, it looked no different from a huge door.

Under the huge door, about the level of Mike’s chest, a groove quietly appeared in front of Mike.

This groove was the shape of a token, and in the middle of the groove, there was a complicated looking pattern.

It was the pattern of a saber and a gold coin.

Obviously, this was the keyhole that needed to be placed on the token.

Looking at the groove in front of him, Mike took a deep breath, held the token in his hand, and slowly connected it to the groove.

Right when he went closer, the light on the token became even more dazzling, as if it was a living, breathing, shiny token.

Even Stone became nervous when it saw this scene. Its two big eyes stared at the token in Mike’s hand. It dared not to blink for fear of missing any details.

In the next moment, the token in Mike’s hand fit like a glove in the groove. Then, the token seemed to be grabbed by some powerful force, and it was completely absorbed into the groove.

In an instant, the huge stone door on the mountain wall in front of them trembled and was slowly raised up.

When that happened, another dragon’s roar that shook the entire land came from behind the stone door.

After hearing the dragon’s roar from such a close distance, the little tree spirit finally felt a trace of fear. After all, this felt like a giant dragon’s roar!

This was the greatest creature that stood above all living creatures, this dragon was the top of the biological chain!

Feeling the unease of the small tree spirit, Mike stretched out his hand and gently stroked its wooden head. He then tried to comfort his little friend with his words.

“Don’t worry. No matter how terrifying the enemy is, I’ll think of a way to get rid of it…”

Halfway through his words, Mike and Stone was stunned

As the stone door slowly rose, the figure of the giant dragon in the treasure vault appeared in front of them.

The dragon had horns on its head, wings on its back, and a giant tail that swung ferociously from behind.

This was clearly a dragon.

However… This dragon was currently sitting on an egg the size of an adult’s head, and it even yawned!

The two of them had a completely different image of how scary the dragon would be based on its roar just now!

However, looking at it now, why was this giant dragon so small!!!

What happened to the monster that roared so loudly just now?!!
