After getting rid of the wolf pack, there was practically nothing dangerous left. Murong jumped back onto the tree and climbed down. He walked straight to those wolf bodies. Arriving at one of the wolf corpses, he held the knife in his hand and chopped at the wolf's head. Murong felt as though the knife in his hand had struck a tough and sturdy wood. He was barely able to cut its head through, causing blood to surge out everywhere.
He continued to open the wolf's heads and searched for a while, but he could not find what he was looking for.
"Perhaps, there is not enough time and spiritual energy in the air to form a spiritual nucleus yet," Murong thought to himself as he carefully kept his gaze on the other wolves' dead bodies.
He then moved away from that area to continue searching for the golden key.
After walking for a period of time, he realized that this mission was not as easy as he thought it was. There was no obvious place that he could think of to find that key. There were also a lot of leaves covered on the land. What made it even more difficult was the constant need to pass through pre-existing thorns and brush. He had to carve out a path several times now.
Almost 10 hours had been passed, and even though he was looking without rest, he still did not find what he was looking for. He cut everything that got in his way down. The problem was that he had not found any clues yet as to where the secret key was hidden. He had already searched the entire wildland, but he couldn't find anything that seemed to be out of place. Suddenly, he realized about the big tall tree that helped him escape from the wolf pack. The wolf pack was a little bit odd. It seems they were insisting on staying in that area, like guarding something despite he already had the most obvious advantage.
"Ding! You will be summoned to the entrance of the dungeon in 1 hour," the system informed him in his mind.
Murong rushed toward the area that he fought with the wolves. After some time, he arrived at the site. He carefully examined the tree and stone monument. Unexpectedly, he found the secret compartment on the side of a big tree.

"Crack!" The sound of detaching of a secret compartment from the tree trunk by Murong's knife.
He then opened that secret compartment box and found the golden key inside.
"Ding! Congratulations! Mission accomplished. You have found the golden key."
"Ding! Congratulations! You are the first person in this world to successfully finish the dungeon run. You will be received an additional bonus. You can choose two out of three rewards from finishing this dungeon."
"Ding! Please select two choices from below
1. Awakening spiritual sense
2. Soldier rank random item
3. Job changing: Hunter (The font color is ranged from red to green. The green color means you are perfectly suitable for this job. You could change your job on the red color font, but it is not recommended.)
Murong looked at those choices and saw the "Hunter" font appeared in red color. The same as his previous life, he was not suitable for a hunter job. He selected options 1 and 2 in his mind. After the system recognized his choices, he had been warped back to the dungeon's entrance and successfully done what he aimed for.
At the entrance of the dungeon, suddenly, a fine-looking young man appeared out of thin air. Evidently, it was our protagonist, Murong. After surveying his own body, he went back to his cave and wrapped up his equipment. There was no point in trying to enter the dungeon again. In his past life, it was well-known that, once the dungeon is cleared, it would be reset, and no one could enter the dungeon for 24 hours.
He looked at the space ring, the new item on his finger that he got from the system. He thought of an item's status in his mind, and the blue transparent screen popped up in the air in front of his face.
----------------------------------------------------------
Item status

----------------------------------------------------------
"This is not bad," Murong thought.
The space ring was considered rare at the beginning of the apocalypse, and this was even A grade space ring. He felt he was lucky this time.
He thought of activation of the space ring in his mind, and all his equipment vanished out of thin air.
Now, it is time to go home.
