#280 - Deadly Treasure Chest

Inside the ancient castle's hall, a black cat-faced monster, clutching a bag, glanced behind it with a flustered expression. A bump had formed on its head, as if someone had beaten it up, and it was currently being hunted. Because of this, it was somewhat panicked as it fled, not noticing the bag had torn, and hastily ran from the basement towards the outside of the castle, leaving behind a plump, red apple.

"An injured cat monster is fleeing in a sorry state, scattering items all over the place."

Chase after it: Gain a random blessing.

Pick up the dropped item: Duplicate Round Shield I.

"Of course, it's a random blessing, what's so good about duplicating a round shield?" Without a second thought, Wang Zi obtained the Blessing Telescope, which could copy a temporary card from his hand into his hand at the start of a battle. "Although the effect seems average, it's still alright!"

Anyway, blessings are always good to have.

"You followed the cat monster's route, but who knew it would run even faster when it saw you, disappearing in a panic at the end of the corridor."

Next, he encountered a lottery merchant event.

The lottery merchant carried a large package on his back, completely wrapped in a dark gray cloak, revealing only his pointed bird beak. He held up a discount sheet in his hand, staring intently at the player, as if saying, "Buy! Buy! Buy!"

His other arm held a box similar to a supermarket lottery, with a round hole that only one hand could fit into. Whatever you touched was what you got.

"This young lady, would you like to participate in a limited-time special lottery event?" The lottery merchant eagerly shook the lottery box in his arms.

His prizes included blessings, card removal, and health recovery. Besides health recovery, the other two were quite valuable, costing 50 gold coins.

Eating ice cream was definitely out of the question. Although he had been fighting all the way, the health he lost was replenished by the recovery during level-ups.

He didn't hesitate between the remaining two options: "Blessings, blessings! Stacking up blessings feels invincible!"

Obtained Blessing Eagle's Vigilance! On the card, an eagle stared sharply ahead, as if it had discovered some suspicious signs.

The effect was that, in each battle, the first card used by the enemy would be nullified.

Wang Zi accepted it with satisfaction: "NICE! This is good."

Although the lottery merchant urged Wang Zi to continue drawing, he didn't have enough gold coins, so he chose to leave.

"I don't know if you've drawn what you wanted, but good luck!" The lottery merchant revealed a cunning smile and disappeared.

In a basement of the castle.

This seemed to be a treasure room. In the corner where the sword-wielding statue stood, a wooden cabinet had been pried open, and a pile of gold coins was scattered on the ground.

Judging from the extinguished kerosene lamp on the ground, it seemed that someone had visited this place and was preparing to take away the treasure. But in such a dark environment, why didn't they pick up the lamp for lighting?

Was it because there was too much treasure to carry, so they abandoned the lamp, or... were they killed by the mysterious guardian of the treasure?

Wang Zi couldn't help but think: "Could the cat monster that ran away just now have stolen the treasure from here?"

A treasure chest on the shelf looked particularly special, decorated with a skull inlaid with emeralds, and the corners were wrapped in iron sheets, seeming very extraordinary. Wang Zi clicked on it curiously, and the lid of the treasure chest immediately popped open a crack.

The view zoomed in, and the treasure chest was enlarged in front of him. He could see that it was filled with golden coins and luxurious pearl necklaces and other jewelry, dazzling and captivating. Little Red Riding Hood stretched her hand forward, her eyes glowing with excitement, about to lift the lid, while the little carpenter showed a worried look, staring at the exit of the basement, pulling her sleeve to try to pull her back.

"Just as you were attracted by the wealth in the treasure chest and unknowingly approached..."

The treasure chest suddenly popped open, and a semi-transparent ghost captain jumped out from inside!

His face had a long scar across his eyes, and he looked extremely fierce. One hand held a scimitar, and the other was an iron hook prosthetic. He glared at Little Red Riding Hood, and the scimitar slashed straight at her head!

Little Red Riding Hood was startled and a little dazed. Fortunately, the little carpenter, who had been vigilant, tackled her to the ground at the critical moment, dodging the blow.

"This is cursed, ominous treasure. A ghost captain sleeps in the treasure chest. If any thief dares to covet the treasure, he will appear in a rage!"

Entering battle!

The ghost captain's voice was hoarse: "Kill, leave no one alive!"

Wang Zi looked at his hand and his eyes moved: "This action card..."

Clockwork Summons: Remove, equip a sleeping clockwork knight.

"Isn't this clockwork knight one of the initial options? Just right, let's see what happens after transforming into a clockwork knight."

After using this action card, he equipped the clockwork knight, but he needed to transform in the next round.

The ghost captain seemed a bit fierce.

Play Scavenge. On the card, a cat monster carried a bag, excitedly stuffing various treasures into its bag.

Effect: Gain a random equipment card.

However, the effect of this card was negated by the Blessing Eagle's Vigilance.

The ghost captain then played Exquisite Collection, and ornate swords and shields hung on the shelves of the treasure room.

Effect: Remove, gain 4 armor, gain a random equipment card.

Then he played a 2-star Exquisite Collection, and his armor increased to 10 points.

Then he equipped the Poison Barrel, which gave the enemy 1 point of poison at the start of the turn, and the Burning Fruit, which gave a fireball spell each turn.

Wang Zi found it quite interesting: "The monsters' attack methods are closely related to their images. For example, the ghost captain guards the treasure room, so his cards are all effects that gain equipment. This is a monster that follows an equipment build. But fortunately, I made one of his cards ineffective, reducing one piece of equipment, and the remaining two don't seem very powerful."

Equipment and blessings are both continuously effective, the more the better.

The effect of the Sleeping Clockwork Knight was to equip him with a clockwork horse this turn, dealing 3 damage and gaining 3 armor at the end of the turn.

"Brave Heart! Draw a card, gain a random attack card! Storm Attack, deals 4 points of lightning damage, damage dealt this turn +1! Round Shield! Soul Strike! Deadly Weapon! Wind the Clockwork!"

Huh?

Wang Zi threw out the cards like a surging tide, triggering various combos. Just as he was having a great time, he realized that he had no action points left to use the last action card.

"Okay, next turn!"

The ghost captain still played two Exquisite Collections, equipping the Martyr's Armor and the Spiked Bulwark, and then threw a fireball and two normal attacks, instantly knocking off 15 points of Wang Zi's health.

Wang Zi was a little panicked: "I feel that the longer the ghost captain fights, the more disadvantageous it will be for me. I must fight quickly."

The ghost captain was much stronger than the previous monsters. He fought for 5 rounds, lost 30 points of health, and finally won.

Fortunately, the Evil Priest helped him recover a little.

"What will he encounter next?"
