Chapter 109 - Gaia Monitor

The sound of heavy, turbid breathing travelled between the scattered stacks and entered Nie Yan’s ears As he carefully went over to investigate, an enorht

It was a Gaia Monitor!

Nie Yan kneould be encountering this fellow even before arriving at this location

This five- lizard hidden between the piles of rocks was covered in sharp spikes, uishable from an ancient dinosaur

As he looked elsewhere, he spotted a s some boulders If one didn’t observe carefully, it would be rather easy to overlook

From where he stood, he was unable to see deeper inside the cave

the cave without alerting the Gaia Monitor wasn’t going to be a simple task

By habit, Nie Yan inspected the Gaia Monitor with Transcendent Insight

Gaia Monitor (Elite): Level ??

Although Transcendent Insight failed to gather anything significant due to the level discrepancy, Nie Yan dimly recalled the Gaia Monitor was an Elite raze froh-level monster would undoubtedly mean his death

Fortunately, this Gaia Monitor wouldn’t stay in this area for too long

That being the case, Nie Yan patiently waited

After twenty an to move It lazily rose to its feet, then stumbled over to a nearby boulder As it perched itself at the top, its massive tail smashed into another boulder which happened to be quite close to where Nie Yan was hiding「Booe explosion echoed out as the boulder instantly turned to rubble, sending debris flying in every direction

「Pa! Pa! Pa!」Unfortunately, several of the fragments struck Nie Yan as well

−23, −27 −26

Yet he didn’t dare to budge an inch lest the Gaia Monitor discover his presence

The Gaia Monitor lowered its head and scanned over the mess of rocks and boulders

Nie Yan felt his heart skip a beat He remained motionless as he hid behind the cover of the rock pile, praying the Gaia Monitor wouldn’t notice his presence

Only after what see not found anything strange, languidly crawl off toward another area

Once it had h of reliefht of its silhouette disappearing into the distance, he finally dared to venture out and head for the cave

After arriving at the cave’s entrance, Nie Yan felt a cold wind blowing from deep within the cave’s cavity As he went inside, he noticed a slight dampness in the air as well as the walls that were full of deep scratches, presumably left behind by the Gaia Monitor

This cave was its nest Every two hours it would leave the area to sunbathe near some distant cliffs for five ear and level, even if the Gaia Monitor laid motionless and allowed hie he dealt would be entirely negated by its base regeneration

Were it not for the fact that Nie Yan knew the Gaia Monitor would leave its nest for some time, he would have never dared to coradually explored deeper, the surroundings becaer shi+ned inside the cave It was pitch black He wasn’t even able to see his own hands Thus, he could only rely on his other senses to guide hih his search

Fortunately, aside from the Gaia Monitor, no other monsters inhabited this cave

Nie Yan’s tiht wind of an unknown scent after returning, it would immediately rush inside the cave to tear the intruder into shreds

After three , Nie Yan still hadn’t reached the end, though he discovered a faint glow being emitted from deeper within the cave

et excited and hastily head towards the source of the glow

When Nie Yan explored this area in his past life, this chest had long been opened by another player, so he had been unaware of its existence until now In this life, however, since he was the first player to arrive in this cave, he also became the first to discover this chest This was quite the pleasant surprise!

As expected, shortly after Nie Yan arrived at the corner of the cave, he found a shi+ silver treasure chest Full of anticipation, he quickly examined it, and to his relief it wasn’t locked If it had been a Level 30 locked chest, he would have no hope whatsoever of opening it

Treasure chests were divided into two categories, norardless of class or level, could open and retrieve the contents of the former The latter, however, required a skill or key of the corresponding level

Nie Yan squatted and started opening the chest

「 treasure chest… Estimated Completion: 10… 30…」

「Click!」The chest was opened Nie Yan put his hand inside the chest and felt around until he found so, whereupon he took out two ite the first one
