Ethan casually glanced at the car wreckage in his backpack. By now it had already been compressed into a lump of scrap metal, not even a hint of what model it used to be.
If it weren't for the system prompt saying it was car wreckage, Ethan really wouldn't have been able to tell.
But what Ethan didn't expect was that the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast had actually spat out a bronze treasure chest.
Bronze treasure chests couldn't be collected. Ethan could only drag it over to his side and open it directly. Unfortunately, the chest's tier was too low, and there wasn't anything good inside.
[Wei Long Spicy Strips +10]
[Wood +20]
[Vita Lemon Tea +24]
[Dried Small Fish +30]
[Bronze +10]
All very common materials, plus some food. Nothing particularly special.
Ethan clearly remembered that the prompt had said there was a platinum treasure chest in the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast's belly. How did it downgrade?
'Or could it be… That there is still a platinum treasure chest inside this monster's stomach?'
Ethan's eyes immediately lit up.
This Devouring Heaven Beast could swallow heaven with its huge belly. Who knew how many good things it had accumulated inside over all these years? If he could make it spit everything out in one go.
(￣y▽￣)╭
Hehehe!
He took out a hundred portions of magma chili, crushed them all, and put them into a compressor.
Then Ethan took out another hundred portions of hot spring water. Earlier, he had collected 1888 portions from the lake haunted by water ghosts. He poured 888 portions into the swimming pool after returning, so he still had 1000 portions on him.
Now he took out one hundred portions of 42-degree hot spring water and poured them into the compressor.
It was said that after eating a bite of chili, if you then drank a mouthful of hot water, it was a devilish combo that could warp a person's soul.
Really makes you wonder, what kind of result would these two things produce after being eaten by the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast?
Only one way to find out.
Ethan casually tossed the two compressors into the beast's skeleton. They were quickly swallowed, and then…
Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!
The Devouring Heaven Beast's belly instantly churned like raging seas, writhing violently.
The next second, the golden light inside the Devouring Heaven Beast surged explosively.
And then—
★[BOOM!]☆
Ethan hurriedly pulled White Eagle over, spread its wings open, and hid under them like an umbrella.
The instant Ethan finished taking cover, the scene looked just like a volcanic eruption.
｡･ﾟﾟ･ /~\ ･ﾟﾟ･｡
Countless things erupted out of the Devouring Heaven Beast's body.
[Platinum Treasure Chest +1]
[Bronze Treasure Chest +1]
[Stone +1002]
[Advanced Stone +200]
[Enchanted Ore +999]
[Beast Bone Fossil +365]
[Glass Shards +100]
[Wind-element Beast Core +85]
[Earth-element Beast Core +199]
[Water-element Beast Core +79]
[Metal-element Beast Core +75]
[Wood-element Beast Core +125]
[Gold +78]
[Robot Wreckage +1]
[Spirit Stones +3563]
[Dragon Coins +456]
[...]
An endless stream of items erupted.
Ethan frantically collected them. Very quickly, his backpack was filled to more than half capacity. Luckily, he was using a hundred-thousand-slot backpack. Otherwise, it would have overflowed long ago.
After the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast stopped spewing items and gradually quieted down, only then did Ethan crawl out from under White Eagle's wings.
"Hiss!"
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast was still continuously making "hissing" exhalation sounds.
But Ethan looked down at his feet and saw that the massive golden light that had once filled its skeleton had now shrunk into a small clump.
That light looked like it could go out at any moment.
"That's it? You're done already?"
Ethan shook his head in disdain at the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast.
He had thought he could fight it for another three hundred rounds. And this is all it's got? Just this?
"I wonder if this tiny bit of light can be finished off?"
Ethan thought for a moment, then took out an arrow. He smeared a large amount of magma chili onto the arrowhead and then shot it at the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast.
Whoosh!
The arrow quickly struck the yellow light inside the beast.
But this time, unlike before, the object didn't get swallowed upon contact. Instead, the yellow light was pierced straight through.
It even made a sound like a water bag bursting.
Pop!
The arrow passed straight through the yellow light.
The yellow light inside the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast flickered twice, then vanished completely.
[Three-Legged Devouring Heaven Beast's corpse detected. Collect?]
"Collect!"
[Five-color Beast Core +1]
[Pixiu Bones +365]
Rumble!
However, right after Ethan collected the corpse of the three-legged Devouring Heaven Beast, the ground beneath where he was standing began to collapse rapidly.
The spot where Ethan had been standing was originally supported entirely by the Devouring Heaven Beast.
Now that it was gone, the ground naturally caved in.
Fortunately, White Eagle sensed the danger, immediately flapped its wings, took off, and grabbed Ethan's shoulder with its claws, carrying him upward.
Man and eagle flew all the way back up to solid ground, and only then did White Eagle set Ethan down.
After this fight, Ethan not only didn't lose anything, he made a huge profit. Especially with the extra two treasure chests and a pile of spirit stones, it was an absolute bloodbath of gains.
Treasure chests couldn't be put directly into the backpack, so Ethan could only open them on the spot.
He started with the worthless bronze treasure chest.
Otherwise, if he opened the platinum treasure chest first and then opened the bronze one afterward, the contrast would make the bronze chest feel like pure trash, and that would be disappointing.
[Gloves Crafting Blueprint +1]
[Advanced Wood +6]
[Pepsi +10]
[Coca-Cola +10]
[Bedside Cabinet Crafting Blueprint +1]
[Bronze +10]
"Huh?", When Ethan saw that there were actually twenty bottles of cola, he immediately broke into a grin.
Although this wasn't some important equipment or material, cola was just good to drink.
And this bronze treasure chest was even considerate. Afraid that some people liked Coke while others liked Pepsi, it gave ten bottles of each. Very nice.
Not only that, there were actually five portions of advanced wood inside.
The moment Ethan opened advanced wood, he immediately understood why someone earlier had traded advanced wood for normal wood in the trading channel. Turns out that player had opened advanced wood from a treasure chest.
Unfortunately, advanced wood couldn't be used to build wooden houses, so the only option was to trade it for normal wood.
Which just happened to let Ethan make a nice profit.
Finally, there was only one platinum treasure chest left.
Ethan looked at the chest glowing with high-grade silvery-white light, then placed his hand on it and flipped it open in one go.
A platinum treasure chest really was worthy of its name. The contents inside were far richer than those of a gold treasure chest.
