Fatty could not believe it for a moment. The Orange equipment had greatly increased his attributes. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They watched as Fatty twisted his fat body and kept showing off and felt that he was very interesting.

“Alright, we have to return the way we came and see what mysteries the other two paths have.” Lin Shuang had a feeling that there should be a treasure here. Even if there was no treasure, there would definitely be a Boss. It was probably a Purple Boss.

Previously, he was worried that the three of them could not deal with the monsters. However, now that the three of them had leveled up so much and Fatty’s attributes had increased greatly after obtaining orange equipment, the worries in his heart disappeared.

The four of them quickly returned to the fork. Faced with two choices, Lin Shuang decided to choose the left tunnel. “Let me see what a path of no return is like.”

He thought he would encounter a Boss that would eat him alive. However, when he entered this passageway, he immediately saw the system notification.

“System Notification: You have arrived at the hidden map: Mysterious Cave 1. Danger Level: High-Risk Area.”

Lin Shuang had an indifferent expression. How could he get a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den? Under Lin Shuang’s lead, everyone quickly reached the depths of the passageway. The footprints on the ground gradually decreased, as if indicating that danger was approaching.

“Strange, why are there two stone statues in front?” Lin Shuang had never seen this hidden map before, but he felt that the environment here was very similar to some of the scenes he had seen before. Especially the two stone statues standing on the left and right sides of the passageway, they seemed familiar.

“System Notification: You will face the test of the Sage. Make the right choice and you can obtain the final reward, the mysterious treasure chest.”

Immediately, the four of them received the system’s notice at the same time.

“The Sage’s test? Mysterious Treasure Chest? Is this a side mission?” Fatty was a little surprised. Logically speaking, they could only have the side mission after Level 20 and start the dungeon mission. This hidden map was very special, but there would not be any side missions.

Lin Shuang shook his head and looked at the three of them hesitantly. “There might not be a Boss here, but there will definitely be a huge gift. No one survived this path because no one passed the Sage’s test.”

No one could pass the test, so this mysterious treasure chest was still there. Lin Shuang was very interested in this, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return if he dragged the three of them along.

“Perhaps the Sage’s test is extremely difficult. Do you plan to come with me or wait for me here?” He threw the question to the three of them, but Lin Shuang knew very well that there was only one mysterious treasure chest. There was not enough for the four of them.

Lu Wan did not hesitate at all when faced with this question. “Although the mysterious treasure chest is very tempting, I don’t think I’m that lucky to pass the test. Lin Shuang, be bold and do it. I’ll wait for you here.” Unable to help, Lu Wan also cheered him on.

“My level isn’t high, and I don’t have much experience. I’ll be a burden if I go. Master, go. I’ll wait for you here.” Chu Feng knew his level. He didn’t even dare to think about a mission of this level.

Only the hesitant Fatty was left in a dilemma. The three of them instantly focused their gazes on him. At this moment, Fatty was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do. He wanted to go. If he passed the test and obtained this mysterious treasure chest, he might obtain some heaven-defying equipment. Then, he would be like a cheat in the game.

However, he recalled that path where very few people had chosen just now, with 100,000 vampire bats waiting for their prey at the end. And many people had lost their lives on this path. He knew very well that with his ability, he would definitely not be able to cross it.

However, Lin Shuang was different. He was outstandingly strong, capable, and smart. He would definitely pass successfully.

“I’m not going either, Shuang’zi. You have to pass! You’re the hope of our Tiger Studio. You’re the only light I believe in. The kind that doesn’t believe in Ultraman and believes in you!” Fatty voluntarily gave up his chance. He had thought it through. Instead of being Lin Shuang’s weakness, it was better to cheer him on.

There was only one mysterious treasure chest, but his good friend was more important than it! Most importantly, he knew Lin Shuang too well. He would never hide a treasure. Perhaps the treasure he had risked his life to bring back would be given to him!

After receiving everyone’s blessings, Lin Shuang didn’t say anything else and walked in calmly as a man. Gradually, Lin Shuang disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving behind a carefree shadow.

After walking for a long time, Lin Shuang saw the stone statue from before appear in front of him again. At the same time, he realized that a hundred-meter-long glass walkway had appeared in front of him.

Standing at the starting point, he could clearly see through the glass that there was a bottomless abyss below. There were words carved on the stone statue. Lin Shuang immediately understood what the so-called test of the sage was.

It was courage and luck!

The 100-meter-long glass walkway was divided into two rows. Only by stepping on the tempered glass could he avoid the tragic outcome of falling into the abyss. If he successfully reached the end, he would obtain the mysterious treasure chest.

Lin Shuang took a closer look and didn’t see anything different about the glass. But he knew what had happened in the first five steps. Someone had tried, but before he reached the sixth step, he fell into the bottomless abyss.

Lin Shuang stepped on the tempered glass and tried to find a pattern, but he realized that these five steps were left, right, left, left, left. It was difficult to judge what patterns this glass walkway had.

“Damn it, there’s no pattern at all!” Seeing through this question, Lin Shuang gritted his teeth and chanted in his heart, Life and death are predestined, and wealth is predestined by the heavens! My luck is heaven-defying!

In the next second, Lin Shuang calmed down and stood on the glass walkway to look forward. Then, he bent down and bent his knees in a running posture. Taking a deep breath, he placed his hands on the ground and stomped on the ground with his left foot. Instantly, he flew out like an arrow.

Lin Shuang quickly ran forward in an extremely fast posture and actually sprinted a hundred meters on the hundred-meter-long glass walkway. He raised his knees, kicked away, and pulled up. His arms kept swinging like a bolt of lightning that pierced the night sky. Lin Shuang ran unobstructed.

In eleven seconds, he successfully ran across the glass walkway and reached the finish line.

Lin Shuang, who had stopped in his tracks, bent his knees and panted heavily to adjust his breathing. In front of him was a statue of a goddess. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and held a treasure chest in her hand.

After calming down, Lin Shuang had a happy expression. He had relied on his heaven-defying luck to successfully clear the level. Ever since he obtained the luck talent and had the Lucky Halo, Lin Shuang’s journey had been as smooth as cheating. He had no opponents to speak of.

“As expected, luck is also a part of strength. With a heaven-defying luck talent, this test is nothing to be afraid of!” The corners of Lin Shuang’s mouth curled up as joy appeared in his eyes.

This treasure chest might be the greatest surprise in the hidden map. He straightened up and walked forward with his head held high. When he looked at the face of the goddess statue, he was stunned on the spot.
