Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Zhang Shi ran to Wu Qing and pulled her up.

"Are you OK?"

Wu Qing dusted herself off, smiled and shook her head.

Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong also came over. Zhao Feng, in particular, had an extremely exaggerated expression.

"Wow, sister, I really underestimated you. Was that C4 you just threw? That's really explosive."

Wu Qing raised her head proudly, her smile widening and revealing two dimples.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was not seriously injured, Zhang Shi turned around to look at the spoils that dropped from killing the Black Panther King.

"Ding, team kill"

【Black Panther King (Green) X1】

"Gain 200 experience points"

"Obtained [Talent Card - Morale Boost (Green) x1: Exquisite quality Talent Card. Use it to gain the Talent - Morale Boost. Morale Boost: Generates a 100-meter aura, granting +2 to all friendly units within range (depending on the carrier's Constitution)."

"Obtain [Medal of Courage x1]"

The drops were few and far between this time, and Zhang Shi speculated that the drop rate might be related to the monster's strength. Although this Black Panther King was a Delicate level item, it wasn't difficult for the group to handle it. Of course, Wu Qing's Chili C4 was crucial.

Looking at this talent card, everyone unanimously gave it to Wu Qing. This aura-type talent was most suitable for a survivor like her who was more supportive, and it was even more effective when used in conjunction with incense.

Ge Dalong glanced at the progress bar that was halfway up, wiped the dirt off his body, and asked everyone.

"The altar was taken very quickly this time. We still have some time. Do you want to take a break and start another wave?"

The four of them defended this wave of altars and reaped the rewards. Not only did their experience bar increase significantly, but Wu Qing also received a uniquely suited talent card, which significantly boosted the entire team. Therefore, the others all agreed with Ge Dalong's proposal.

After resting for a while, they placed the Medal of Courage back into the altar.

Based on the previous successful experience, everyone cooperated tacitly and, after some effort, successfully resisted the monster tide.

This time, the elite monster summoned by the altar was a giant turtle.

The giant turtle could cast earth spike magic, giving it strong defensive capabilities, but it moved slowly. Zhang Shi and the others handled it carefully and didn't feel any pressure. However, its shell was truly invincible. Once it was at a disadvantage, it would retreat into it. Despite exhausting all their tactics, they were unable to inflict any effective damage on it.

In the end, Zhang Shi took out Lao Duan, stepped forward and split the giant turtle into two halves with one knife, which made everyone gasp in amazement.

Nothing valuable was found this time, just some basic supplies, which were divided equally among the four people.

After the third round of fighting at the altar, everyone reached level 6, Zhang Shi was even close to level 7, and the treasure chest progress bar had reached 70%.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone returned to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Zhang Shi didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the treasure chest in the pavilion became even more dazzling under the sunlight.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Zhang Shi opened the treasure chest, feeling a little regretful that he had already used up today's double privilege.

A flash of purple light dazzled the four people's eyes. Zhang Shi was delighted, knowing that a rare item had appeared.

Ding, successfully opened the copy exclusive treasure chest (purple), and obtained:

【先祖之杖（紫）X1：稀有级别的武器，装备后提升10点体质。可以主动释放特殊技能：随机召唤出3种先祖图腾之一。嘲讽图腾-在图腾50米范围内生成一层防护盾，并嘲讽敌人，防护盾的效果与使用者体质属性随动。斗志图腾-增加50米范围内友方单位20％的力量和魔力。不屈图腾-增加50米范围内友方单位20％的耐力和魔力回复速度。】

[Frost Ring (Green) x1: Exquisite-level ring. Equipped with this ring, increases magic power by 5 points and increases ice magic damage by 10%.]

[Talent Card - Braver with More Combat (Green) x1: Exquisite quality Talent Card. Use this to gain the talent - Braver with More Combat. Braver with More Combat: Each time you kill an enemy unit with a melee weapon, you gain 1 point of Strength and 10% Stamina regeneration speed, lasting 60 seconds.]

【金币X2000】

[Experience 400]

Ding, the copy treasure chest was opened successfully, the copy was completed, and the special store was opened.

The experience bars of several people increased again, and Zhang Shi even successfully broke through to level 7.

As the absolute main force of this copy operation, several people tacitly agreed that Zhang Shi would distribute the spoils.

Zhang Shi glanced at the items in the treasure chest with interest and found that there was nothing particularly suitable for him.

The spoils were distributed according to everyone's attribute preferences.

The Staff of Ancestors was undoubtedly assigned to Wu Qing. She had used up a large amount of her already limited incense reserves for this dungeon, and she had also made many contributions when defending the altar.

The Frost Ring was assigned to Ge Dalong. Putting aside the matching attributes, the dungeon scroll itself was originally his item. Without him, there would be no subsequent loot.

The talent card was given to Zhao Feng. Of the four, Zhao Feng was the only one who was a pure melee fighter. He was always at the forefront when encountering monsters, so it was reasonable to give him this talent card.

In the end, Zhang Shi was embarrassed to find that he had lost nothing. The other three also felt that Zhang Shi was wronged, so they gave him all 2000 gold coins.

Zhang Shi didn't know the specific purpose of the gold coins, but since he really couldn't use those props, he just treated it as a way to gain experience.

Ge Dalong added at the right time.

"Take a look at the system interface. A special store has appeared."

Zhang Shi opened the system panel and found a store interface.

As shown above, this special shop only appears after clearing a dungeon. Players can spend gold coins to purchase various resources and items in the shop. After leaving the dungeon, the shop closes. While the shop is open, all transactions by the user are blocked.

Zhang Shi finally understood the purpose of this gold coin. Thinking that the system's ranking reward was only 1000 gold coins, the purchasing power of this gold coin must be quite high.

Opening the store, Zhang Shi was greeted by a dazzling array of resources and items. He filtered out items below rare quality and finally settled on a weapon.

Powerful Compound Bow (Purple) x1: A rare weapon, the same model as Hawkeye. Point and strike with incredible power and minimal effort. When worn, increases Agility by 5, Strength by 5, and slightly reduces Stamina consumption. Special Effect: Designate an area, fire upwards, and create a hail of arrows, dealing 320% damage to enemies within range.

As his strength increased, the bone bow was no longer effective against elite monsters, so this rare composite bow was a perfect replacement. However, it was a bit pricey, costing 3300 gold coins.

Zhang Shi shared the properties of the compound bow to the team chat channel and shamelessly borrowed some gold coins from everyone before he successfully obtained the weapon.

I took a look at the highest quality weapons in the store, which were at the pink artifact level and cost hundreds of thousands.

Zhang Shi sighed and closed the shop unwillingly.

The other three also spent some money to strengthen themselves.

Ge Dalong lacked talents, so he bought a high-quality talent card for restoring magic. The effect was average, but it was cheap and practical. If he got a better one in the future, he could just replace it directly.

Wu Qing felt that she lacked initiative in battle, so she chose a general skill.

[Blessing Barrier (Green): Generates a nodule that attacks 5 times. Increases the recovery ability of friendly units within the range and deals 80% damage to enemy units within the range.]

This skill can both output and assist, and is extremely cost-effective.

Zhao Feng, having tasted the sweetness of consumables, purchased some attribute-enhancing and recovery potions, preparing in advance for the next dungeon.
