The Secrets of the Treasure Map!

Who wouldn't be interested in treasures? Yu Guang had spent a lot of effort capturing the two of them. Even if he wasn't interested, he would definitely want to take a look.

He walked to Old Fan's side and asked, "Where's the treasure map?"

"It's in my left pocket." Old Fan gritted his teeth in pain. God knows how much effort they had put in to get the treasure map and how much effort they had put into sneaking into Guotong Mountain. He was wounded with his beard cut off, and he felt so sorry for himself.

Yu Guang swiped his finger again, and Old Fan's left leg was defrosted. Coincidentally, the latter's left leg was pierced through, so Yu Guang was not worried about him playing tricks. He reached into his pocket and found a piece of soft cloth.

He pulled out a piece of parchment. The edges of the parchment were tattered after being gnawed by insects. He opened it up and looked at it. The lines that circled around it made him dizzy. It seemed to have a hypnotic effect. With just a glance, those lines were like earthworms wriggling in his brain.

The map felt a little prickly. Yu Guang used the light from his phone to carefully illuminate it. The surface of the treasure map was very smooth. There was not even a single tear. If he held it in another hand, it would still be a little prickly.

He noticed that there was a weak flow of power on the map. It was not strong, but it was persistent. He tried to inject his power into it. Suddenly, the lines on the treasure map came to life and rearranged themselves.

As soon as he stopped, his expression returned to its usual appearance, leaving no impression at all.

Yu Guang could not help but sigh at the power of the treasure map. There were so many secrets hidden in such a small piece of parchment.

He injected his power again, showing the real appearance of the treasure map. He compared it with the mountain road. "Are you two sure the place you're looking for is under your feet?"

"We found the right place by comparing it with this treasure map!" Fatty Qiu said with certainty, appearing very positive.

Yu Guang took a few more glances and confirmed that the place they found was the location shown on the map, and the real entrance to the treasure was deeper in Guotong Mountain.

This put Yu Guang in a difficult position. Humans had a natural curiosity about the unknown, so anyone would want to take a look at the treasure in front of them.

"What treasure is hidden here?" Yu Guang asked them. Perhaps their answers could dispel his desire to explore.

Fatty Qiu giggled and answered, "There's a treasure that can help an awakened break through to level two. It's called—"

Yu Guang interrupted him, "Level two only?"

"Yes, yes!" Fatty Qiu beamed, but he deep down, he rolled his eyes and thought, "What do you mean by 'level two only?' Do you think everyone is like you? They're at least level four at such a young age. Do you know how difficult it is for us to cultivate? Since you don't like it, why bother snatching our treasure map?!"

"Is there anything else?" Yu Guang confirmed.

"There's nothing else!" Old Fan insisted.

The attitude of the two made him a little curious, so he asked again, "When you touched this map, did you feel anything?"

"Feel... Hmm..." Old Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's kinda itchy…and the map feels very slippery. It must be a good piece of sheepskin."

He squeezed out two answers with difficulty and stared at Yu Guang with a bitter smile, hoping that this was the answer he wanted to hear.

Yu Guang did not say anything and revealed an ambiguous smile.

Based on the current situation, these two would not dare lie to him. They definitely did not discover the deep secret of the treasure map, so they carried the shovel and foolishly emptied the land.

This sheepskin treasure map was divided into two states: the surface map and the inner map. He was stronger than them, so he could feel the needle-like feeling of the map. This was probably because the map owner did not want things to fall into the hands of ordinary people. They deliberately set up a trick.

So, these two really didn't know the specific treasure.

"My lord, look, we've given you the treasure map. Can you let us go now?" Fatty Qiu said with an apologetic smile. "If you're interested in the treasure, we can help you dig it out. How about it? You're already so powerful..."

Yu Guang definitely wanted to go in and take a look, but not now.

Even though Fatty Qiu had put it so nicely and praised him as a humble little brother, the murderous intent in his eyes was obviously like a mountain wolf. He could turn around and bite him anytime.

Yu Guang was not stupid enough to ask for the skin of a tiger.

He put the treasure map into his pocket, then said, "I'm sorry. I have something to do, so I won't go in for the time being."

"Then you'll let us go?" Old Fan asked expectantly.

Yu Guang smiled. "Do I look like a good person to you? I definitely can't let you go!"

Hearing that, the two people's faces turned ashen, and their eyes trembled even more in panic. They hurriedly begged for mercy. "We won't dare do it again! Please let us go!"

"We were blinded by greed for a moment. We deserve to die. Please give us a chance to turn over a new leaf! Please!"

"We were wrong. We will definitely listen to the teachings of the organization in the future. We will do whatever the night watchmen tell us to do!"

Tears flowed down their faces. They were begging sincerely. 

However, Yu Guang did not listen. He lowered his head and used his feet to pull on the ground. He found a relatively flat area and used his feet to draw a one-meter circle.

Then, he snapped his fingers, and the two spades that were lost in the grass were covered in frost. He started to dig the pit automatically.

Yu Guang turned on his phone and saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning. It was already dawn when he rushed back to school. He would be meeting Cui Anyu in the afternoon, so he needed to take a good rest.

He thought that he would just stay outside for the night and wait until dawn before going down the mountain.

He found a big tree and sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and entered into meditation.

Old Fan and Fatty Qiu did not understand what he meant, but they saw that he was digging a hole. He must be looking for treasure. Their bodies were numb from the cold, but they did not feel uncomfortable. They kept quiet and did not dare disturb Yu Guang.

… 

Time passed very quickly. It had been a night and a morning since the last time they spoke on the phone.

Cui Anyu was preparing for the combat test in the afternoon. As time approached, she realized something terrible: Yu Guang's phone was disconnected again!

This time, it wasn't that no one was picking up—his phone was switched off!

Cui Anyu anxiously ran straight to Yu Guang's dormitory to look for him. However, she discovered that there was a note at the door that forbade her from entering. She sneaked in while the students were in class.

She found that it was a mess inside. The ceiling fan had been destroyed and was on the table, as if there had been a flood. She did not think Yu Guang had been attacked, but he had not returned to the dormitory for a whole night. Where could he go?

Cui Anyu immediately panicked. If she could not contact Yu Guang, where could she find a partner now?

"Really!" Cui Anyu complained and dialed Yu Guang's number again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached. Please try again later..." It was that annoying mechanical voice again. Cui Anyu held her phone tightly.

She took a deep breath. Even without Yu Guang, she still had to go to the Awakened Home to accept the challenge!
