“Phew … Phew …”

The hungry man gripped the axe in his hand tightly and stared at Lu Ming with his green eyes.

“Food…”

“Hiss…”

Lu Ming frowned subconsciously.

For some reason, he felt as if someone was staring at him.

It should be just his illusion, right?

Lu Ming looked around, but the area was empty with no living creatures in sight.

Just in case, he decided to act quickly. At the thought of this, Lu Ming quickly ran towards the box not far away.

“This box looks different from the wooden boxes I encountered before,” he thought to himself.

Looking at the brass box in front of him, Lu Ming rubbed his hands in surprise.

Although he didn’t know what kind of good things would be in the brass box, but Lu Ming felt it would be better than what he found in the wooden boxes.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming waved his arms gently to warm himself up.

With a sense of anticipation, Lu Ming raised his hammer and swung it towards the brass box with force.

“Thud!”

The bronze hammer made a different sound as it struck the box, creating a large dent on the surface of the box that was previously unblemished.

(Copper Box 1/7)

In the center of the dent, there was a small crack.

Through the crack, a golden light shone from within the box.

“Wow!”

There was indeed something good in this box!

Lu Ming was overjoyed when he saw the golden light!

And from the looks of it, it must be some kind of treasure!

At the thought of this, Lu Ming swallowed subconsciously. He was filled with energy.

He gripped his hammer tightly and struck the crack again!

“Thud!”

With the force of his swing, the already large crack on the brass box opened up even further.

The flash of light became even more dazzling.

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and looked inside carefully.

The golden light seemed to have come from a long-handled object.

The golden light seemed to emanate from a long-handled object.

As expected, Lu Ming’s initial judgment was correct!

There was something valuable inside the box!

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, Lu Ming exerted all his strength and smashed the box with force.

“Thud!”

The brass box resounded with a cracking sound.

However, before Lu Ming could catch a glimpse of the source of the golden flash, a huge black shadow suddenly lunged at him as the box split open!

“F*ck!”

Lu Ming instinctively held up his bronze hammer to defend himself. Only then did he realize that the creature attacking him was a rat even bigger than a dog!

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The rat stared at Lu Ming fiercely. It seemed that it was prepared to attack at any time.

Slowly backing away, the rat used its massive body to shield the things from the box that had spilled out.

What was inside the box?

Lu Ming craned his neck and turned his head to take a look at the inside of the box.

The huge rat instantly sat up, revealing a pair of sharp, yellow teeth that looked like icicles. It roared fiercely at Lu Ming.

“Squeak!”

It stretched out its claws and carefully pushed the box’s supplies behind itself. Its attacking posture was as if it wanted to fight to the death with Lu Ming!

“Hmph.”

Lu Ming coldly snorted in disdain.

Did this rat, which was only slightly bigger than a dog, really think it could snatch supplies with him?

In your dreams!

Lu Ming focused his mind and rushed towards the supplies in the distance at the fastest speed possible!

At the same moment he began to move, the rat quickly pounced toward Lu Ming.

It was here!

Without thinking too much, Lu Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed everything on the ground. Then, he made a sharp turn and sprinted toward the car at the fastest speed ever!

“Squeak squeak!”

The rat chased behind Lu Ming closely. When Lu Ming made a sharp turn, it didn’t react in time and missed its chance to catch him.

But even so, it didn’t give up. It quickly changed its direction and charged at Lu Ming with all its limbs.

How could a rat run faster than a dog?

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and ran as fast as he could, but the distance between him and the rat kept getting smaller.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The rat shrieked anxiously.

Lu Ming quickened his pace.

He was almost there! He was only a little away from the car!

However, just as Lu Ming was approaching the car at full speed, a hunchbacked figure suddenly appeared in front of the car.

That person held a sharp axe. His eyes were green with hunger as he stared at the biscuit in Lu Ming’s arms.

“Food…”

He twisted his neck and raised the axe in his hand without hesitation, striking Lu Ming.

“F*ck!”

Lu Ming instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the axe that grazed his body.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The rat that was following closely behind Lu Ming was caught off guard. Its head was struck heavily by the hungry man!

Its originally pitch-black eyes turned blood-red in an instant. It no longer stared at Lu Ming. Instead, it turned around and pounced on the person holding the axe!

“D*mn rat! Get lost!”

The man with the axe swung it aimlessly in an attempt to drive the rat away from his body. However, the rat opened its sharp mouth, and its teeth, like ice picks, pierced through the man’s thin and emaciated arm.

“Ah!”

The hungry man screamed in agony as the blood flowed freely from his arm.

“D*mn rat!”

Taking advantage of the moment when they were fighting, Lu Ming quickly opened the car door, locked it, and started the car in one swift motion.

As he leaned against the car seat, Lu Ming breathed heavily and let out a sigh of relief.

He grabbed the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator.

“Vroom!”

Lu Ming sped away, leaving the danger behind.

“Hoo…hoo…phew…”

Lu Ming panted heavily as he drove down the road. He was relieved to have escaped unscathed and leaned back against the seat.

“That was so dangerous just now.”

Lu Ming subconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He did not know when the man with the axe had appeared beside him.

Lu Ming frowned silently. The man had been so silent that Lu Ming had not even noticed his presence.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, he would have been ambushed by that guy!

However, what he should pay more attention to was the danger that might appear when opening the treasure chest.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming could not help but think of the rat whose teeth were like icicles.

To be honest, he thought that opening the treasure chest was foolproof. But he did not expect that there would be very dangerous things inside.

However, if such a dangerous rat could be found in a Bronze-level Treasure Chest, then a Bronze-level Treasure Chest or even higher…Wouldn’t it be even more dangerous inside?

Lu Ming subconsciously gulped.

Furthermore, he had been too relaxed lately. Next time, before getting off the car, he would check for any suspicious people around.

This time, he really almost died.

Fortunately, he had gained a lot from this trip!
