Chapter 50 - Glaide

The treasure was not the gold coin in the box that could be found in the game. In Petrian, the word treasure referred to the material with a high content of elemental energy.

Although it was called treasure, it was not that rare. The treasure was quite the common materials that could be found in the dungeon. The dungeon produced the treasure many times. So, the treasure was not a rare material.

Even so, the treasure was similar to tamers, pets, and dungeons. They had rank and level. Treasures at low rank and level were the most common. The rank of the treasure was based on the stage of the dungeon. As for the level, it was random.

The treasure had many uses for humans, monsters, and pets. Due to the high elemental energy in the treasure, they were sought after by humans, monsters, and pets.

To monsters and pets, the treasure could give them extra stats, improving their skills and increasing their talent. Not only that, treasure at level 10 had a small chance of letting the monsters or pets undergo evolution. So, they were useful to them.

To humans, the treasure could also give them extra stats but the chance was as low as evolution for monsters and pets. The treasure could not improve human's learned skills but could be used as research material to produce better skills.

Not only that, humans used treasure to create strong items and equipment. The treasure was also used to produce powerful medicines and potions.

When a treasure appeared, there would be some changes to the environment.

"Raillow can use this treasure to unlock new elements in his body and elevate his Tier," Lucas told Qin Yun about the treasure. "What do you think? Do you want the snow element for Raillow?" Lucas asked.

"I will help you to obtain this treasure," Lucas stared at Qin Yun. Even so, Qin Yun was silent while thinking of something.

Qin Yun looked at Lucas and asked, "Why are you helping me?" He found it weird.

"I don't have many uses for this treasure. As you know, all of my pets do not have snow elements. So, the treasure is useless to them," Lucas explained. He was not wrong, since the treasure was in the Snowflake Dungeon, it must be either the snow, ice, or wind element. None of the three were the element of Fury, Foody, and Glaide.

"But you can use the treasure to create powerful items and equipment," Qin Yun said.

"At the moment, I don't need any of the powerful items and equipment," Lucas replied while smiling.

Qin Yun thought for a bit. "Okay," he agreed but he added. "Are you sure that there is a treasure?" Qin Yun asked.

"Yes, I am sure. Normal blizzard will not cause this much snow," Lucas slapped the wall of snow. "Not only that, it is too weird that there are so little monsters around. Our thought before was wrong. The monsters here are of the snow element, they will not hide when there is a blizzard," said Lucas.

"Since they are hiding now, this is not a normal blizzard. Also, there is a possibility that they are not hiding but they are heading towards the treasure. The monsters must have wanted this treasure too," Lucas explained.

Qin Yun thought for a bit and agreed with Lucas.

"So, when are we moving?" Qin Yun asked.

"Let's go now. I am afraid that the monsters might nab the treasure first," Lucas packed up all the tools he used for the last two days. "There is a chance that we will meet other tamers too. So, even if we fail to get the treasure, we can see some people too," said Lucas.

When Qin Yun heard that, his eyes lit up. He could not wait to go home. He was a tamer but he was still a 10 years old child. Away from his family in the wild was torturing him.

'I hope there are other tamers there,' Qin Yun was excited. He was more excited about meeting someone rather than getting the treasure. Since he was part of the Phoenix Clan, it was not hard for him to obtain any treasure. So, the treasure was not that appealing to him.

Qin Yun agreed because he was afraid that Lucas would abandon him and search for that treasure himself.

Before they departed, Lucas broke the bark of the tree to use as slippers to walk on the snow. After that, they climbed the tree and got out above the wall of snow. The cold wind was blowing as hard as two days ago.

"The wind is still the same. So, this may be indeed caused by a treasure," said Qin Yun. He was more convinced now that there was a treasure.

"Glaide, fight through this wind and search for the treasure. Once you find it, if possible, grab the treasure and bring it here. If not, try to disturb everyone that is trying to nab the treasure," Lucas commanded.

Glaide nodded and opened her wing and flew in the sky to the source of the wind. Lucas looked at Qin Yun and said, "Let's go." With the strong wind blowing, the duo fought through the wind towards the treasure.

'Can my appraisal eyes appraise the treasure?' Lucas asked.

[Yes, you can. My Appraisal Eye is the best one. You just never try it but you can even appraise the soil, snow, wind, food, anything can be appraised given that the thing you appraise is around your skill level] Sery explained.

As such, the duo continued to travel forward.

Glaide flew in the sky while she kept her Enhance Sight on full throttle. Lucas commanded her to fight for the treasure and she would do her best to get that treasure. She kept her powerful sight at full power so that she would not miss the treasure.

Since the blizzard was strong, she was afraid to miss the treasure. She was not sure if the treasure was big or small and thus, focused on her sight.

15 minutes of flying through the wind, Glaide heard some noise. She headed over towards the noise and saw there were many monsters around. Not only that, she saw an orb floating in the air and emitted strong cold winds.

Glaide squinted her eyes and knew immediately that that was the treasure. The wind and snow that she fought through came from that orb. Not only that, but she also felt strong elemental energy from that orb.

From the sky, Glaide could see that there were three groups of monsters fighting for that orb. The first group was made up of the Snow Buffalo. The same species of buffalo Qin Yun fought when they first arrived in the Snowflake Dungeon.

The second group was a group of the white rabbits but they wore boxing gloves. The rabbits had snowballs floating around them that would shoot towards their opponent at high speed.

The third group was a group of white wolves. The fur of the white wolf was as white as the snow. With the visibility lowered thanks to the blizzard, it was hard to see the white wolves as they looked the same as the snow if they were not moving.

The three groups of monsters were fighting intensely for the orb treasure. Out of the three, the Snow Buffalo looked to be the weakest individually but their group had the highest number out of the three groups. Thanks to the higher number, they did not lose to the rabbit and wolf.

As for the rabbit, their fighting power was almost similar to the wolves. Both of them were fast and have high attacking power. Even so, the wolves were slightly more powerful and faster but the rabbit was nimble and could easily avoid attacks from the wolves at the last second.

With all these advantages present between them, the three groups were fighting an even battle. No one was winning and no one was losing.

Glaide observed from the sky for a few minutes before she grasped all the situations happening between the three groups. She smirked. She circled above the treasure silently for a few rounds and when the time was right, Glaide closed her wings and dived towards the treasure.

She wanted to snatch the treasure before the three groups of monsters finished their battle. She headed towards the orb as fast as possible and when she got to the orb, she opened her claw and snatched the orb away.

Even so, something strange happened. The orb was not moving. Glaide was shocked. She used all of her strength to pull the orb away but the orb stood still. It was not moving an inch.

While Glaide was busy trying to steal the orb, she realized that the noise was gone. She looked around and saw all three groups of monsters had stopped fighting and their gaze was on her. Even when all of them were snow elements, their eyes were burning with fire towards Glaide.

Their faces were saying, "THIEF!" Fiercely. Glaide squinted her eyes and she smirked once again. She opened her wings wide and flapped it strong against the snow-covered ground. A flap of her wing blew away all the snow and reduced the visibility of the monsters.

Glaide did not waste much time and tried to obtain the orb again. Even so, a second after she flapped her wing, something unimaginable happened.

The snow that was blown by her and the orb flew in one direction and condensed into a massive snowball above a rabbit. The rabbit looked fiercely at Glaide. It raised one of its boxing glove arms and pointed at Glaide.

"Kiii!!!!!" The rabbit, the wolves, and the Snow Buffalo attacked Glaide.
