“I’ll think about it. I’ll answer you after the Survival mission is over.”

Although Zhou Chen was a little tempted, he did not directly agree. Instead, he exchanged nicknames with her and agreed to add her as a friend after the Survival mission.

The reason why they did not directly add each other as friends was because the friend function in this dungeon was restricted by the system. They could only wait until they got out.

“Alright.”

The long-haired girl nodded.

The two of them continued forward. They walked in this strange huge square and searched for the next treasure chest or the teleportation formation.

About fifteen minutes later, they encountered a few stone monsters holding blades and swords. These stone monsters looked like bandits as they charged over wildly.

Zhou Chen did not flee this time. Instead, he faced the enemy head-on. He used the spear to quickly knock these stone monsters down, and then let the girl with the war hammer kill them.

These stone monsters were clearly weaker than the stone warrior on the first floor, and there were only a little more of them, but under Zhou Chen’s swift attacks, they were quickly subdued and killed.

After dealing with these stone monsters, Zhou Chen looked at his spear with some heartache. The spear tip had become blunt and bent, and there were some fine cracks on the spear shaft. This weapon would have to be discarded soon.

“Low bronze weapons are not very durable. I wonder if the higher-ranked ones are better.”

Zhou Chen, who liked using spear-type weapons, thought to himself.

Not long later, he encountered the next enemy. This time, his opponent was a huge stone man more than three meters tall.

After confirming that there were no treasure chests around the stone man, Zhou Chen decisively chose to flee. He relied on his speed to shake this monster off. The long-haired girl took a detour and met him.

“I feel that there are too few treasure chests on the third floor…”

After another half an hour, Zhou Chen sighed gloomily when he did not find a second treasure chest.

He had been wandering in this large square for a while and had carefully checked many strange objects here, but he had yet to discover anything new.

“There’s a building over there that seems to have its door open.”

Suddenly, the long-haired girl pointed at a stone building in the distance.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Zhou Chen looked around and quickly walked over.

When he approached the stone building, he saw that the stone door was indeed open, revealing the scene inside.

It was rather empty inside. The light that entered from outside illuminated a wooden treasure box in the corner. It looked free for anyone to pick up.

However, Zhou Chen did not approach the treasure chest. Instead, he quickly took two steps back.

“This is a trap. The treasure chest here is only bait.”

He quickly determined.

The long-haired girl cast a puzzled look at him.

“Smell carefully. There’s a faint smell of blood coming from inside. It’s very abnormal. Moreover, although the environment here seems safe, it’s actually very dangerous. Once the trap is activated, it will be difficult to escape.”

Zhou Chen gave his explanation.

In fact, the reason why he made this judgment was not only because of the faint smell of blood, but also because the stone building in front of him triggered his perception. It gave him a similar feeling as when he faced the stone monsters. Therefore, he determined that this building was a monster itself, and it specialized in luring people in with the treasure chest in its mouth.

“The treasure chest here might be real, but it’s very dangerous to enter.”

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and felt that even if he used the Invisibility Potion and the Windrun skill to make a run for it, it would be difficult to escape unscathed. This was because he would definitely have to touch the treasure chest. It was not realistic to expect the monster to not react to that. Moreover, this stone monster was so thick that it would be difficult to escape with his life if he was trapped in its mouth.

“Do I have to give up on this treasure chest? But the system probably won’t place any unobtainable treasure chests.”

He felt that there was an issue with this situation. According to the conclusions of the many Survivors on the forum, the problems set by the system basically had a solution or a possibility of solution. It would not deliberately let the Survivors face a dead end.

“Maybe I should try this.”

After some thought, a scroll appeared in Zhou Chen’s hand. It was the identification scroll that had dropped when he killed the thin and tall young man on the first floor.

“Identify this stone monster in front of me.”

Zhou Chen faced the stone building not far away and activated the identification scroll.

Soon, the scroll flashed with a faint light and a few lines of words appeared.

[Gluttony House

Type: Mid bronze monster

These monsters cannot move by themselves, but they have powerful defensive power and astonishing strength. Their hunting method is usually to place bait in their mouth to attract their prey. They have many types of prey. Plants, animals, or stones are all on their diet. Notably, when they complete a hunt, they will be in a motionless state for ten seconds.]

“There’s indeed a way…”

After Zhou Chen finished reading the contents of the identification scroll, it quickly crumbled and disappeared, but he now knew how to obtain the treasure chest.

“There are fewer plants and animals here, but there are many stones.”

He turned and walked for dozens of meters. Soon, he picked up a stone the size of a basketball and threw it into the stone building.

After this action, the seemingly normal stone house immediately reacted. Its door immediately closed, and a continuous muffled sound came from inside, as if a violent quake was happening inside.

After about half a minute, the tremor completely disappeared. Then, the door of the stone house opened again, revealing the interior that was no different from before.

After the door of the stone building monster opened, it entered the same motionless state as before. Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately charged in and quickly pulled out the treasure box from the corner and left.

Zhou Chen opened the treasure chest and saw the reward: a black stone the size of a brick.

[Black Ornamental Limestone

Type: Low bronze material

This is a stone commonly used by puppet masters. It is quite firm and is normally used to make combat-type stone puppets.]

“It’s actually a stone material. It seems to be compatible with the Stone Puppet Study.”

Zhou Chen was speechless. He felt that the system was leading him to make stone puppets.

“Forget it, even if I don’t use it, I can sell it for a good price.”

Zhou Chen thought inwardly when he noticed the long-haired girl’s curious gaze on the black stone.
