distance nestled within a Thicket to her
right a blue Treasure Chest startled
gonon stood up eager for a closer look
only to find it had vanished from her
sight she crouched down again and as the
wind swayed the thicket a glimpse of
blue reappeared she could now confirm
that it was indeed a blue Treasure Chest
gintink face was a mask of hesitation
she stood a mere 20 M from the chest
Point 20 M had she been on the beach she
would have dashed toward it without a
second thought yet here in the jungle
she had only dared to roam the periphery
for the past 2 days never exceeding a 5
m radius the environment was complex and
even disregarding the threat of wild
beasts she feared snakes insects and
ants most of all the venomous ones it is
well known that sometimes small venomous
creatures can be far more terrifying and
lethal than larger Predators however the
blue Treasure Chest awaited her having
opened so many green chests one could
only imagine the riches contained within
the blue one
gonon no matter how Splendid the
treasure you must live to enjoy it she
chided herself gently slapping her cheek
as a warning against greed yet after 3
days of the novice protection period was
she truly to remain so timid what would
happen afterward would she simply wait
to perish in safety ambition flickered
in guinan's eyes as she recalled the
meat worm she had encountered today
which had proven challenging to handle
what further dangers lay ahead this was
still within the novice protection
period if she did not seize this
opportunity to stockpile resources and
upgrade her shelter and system backpack
what would she do in the future gonon
bit her lip Resolute she retre re the
clean fish meat from her system backpack
wrapped it in leaves and set it aside
with her other Provisions her backpack
slots were woefully insufficient even
requiring space to accommodate the
treasure chest she had to find a way to
expand her backpack the blue chest was a
must-have gripping her iron axe tightly
in her right hand and wielding a long
stick in her left she cautiously
Advanced toward the spot she had
identified 20 M was a short distance if
she hurried she could reach it in half a
minute yet guti on on felt a surge of
anxiety using the stick to probe ahead
with every step her efforts were not in
vain as several vividly colored insects
scuttled away from her path she even
noticed one insect casting a disdainful
glance at her with its pea-sized eyes
before scurrying off a ridiculous
thought crossed her mind if not for the
novice protection period that colorful
insect would undoubtedly have attacked
her it took a full five minutes for
gonion to finally reach the blue
treasure chest during her approach she
had contemplated fleeing several times
but each time she quelled the impulse
once positioned before the thicket she
carefully used her stick to part the
branches it was indeed a blue Treasure
Chest exhaling in relief her lips curled
into a smile she refrained from hastily
touching the chest instead she circled
it with her stick probing above and
below ensuring no anomalies arose only
then did she dare to reach for the chest
and at the very moment she touched it
was absorbed into her system backpack
