Normally, the main treasure is located next to the boss's chamber.

And indeed, Max found a glowing scroll on the single bed inside the bamboo house.

Picking it up, Max smiled as he read the title, 'armament of earth martial tactics.'

Max didn't inspect it carefully and went to look around for more goodies while communicating with Lucy, explaining what to look for exactly.

.

......

And just like that, almost 2 hours passed.

Currently, Max is standing in front of a pile of random objects.

The glowing scroll, and a glowing bamboo stick, also a glowing green robe.

These three items are the rewards Max got from the dungeon.

there should've been more, but either the void battlefield or the will of the central world have retrieved it.

It was probably because they thought the rewards were more than enough for an E-rank dungeon, or maybe for some other reason.

"Fuck, this is too little."

Max made a mental note, to find a method for increasing his rewards from dungeons.

otherwise, if his reward was in the hand of some will, then it's better to quit dungeon exploration.

Max switched his gaze towards a second pile.

Random mineral ores Lucy dug from underground, and some gems.

And a bunch of strange plants dug from the root.

Max picked the ones with the highest value to put inside his space ring.

A big raw ore with a golden color, and a fist sized black diamond.

Also, a lot of plants.

...

Max was still unsatisfied. "Lu, you sure we took everything?"

Lucy suddenly appeared in front of Max, waving her little arms around angrily.

"mimimimimmailmimimimi. "

For the past two hours Max kept nagging not enough this!, not enough that!, did you look there!, did you check again?

"alright alright, I get it. Nothing of importance left, but do you think we should take some firewood back with us? "

Lucy was speechless. 'why not the dirt as well?'

Lucy was just joking, but Max fell into deep thought.

"maybe some soil from a dungeon might prove useful, but sadly, we don't have the time."

Lucy just opened her little mouth, then closed it, speechless.

....

Looking around, Max noticed that some things already started disintegrating into light particles.

The corpses went first.

looking at the faces or what's left of them turning into light, Max felt the meaning of strength in this world.

The lives of this bunch were nothing more than a pass time for him, a simple obstacle to obtain whatever treasures this dungeon held.

"Sigh.

little Lu, listen to me, we can never laze around, otherwise someday someone will knock on our door, and do the same to us."

Lucy nodded, looking at the corpses.

' a hunter must be prepared to be hunted. '

Max looked at Lucy, stunned by her wise words. "you? Did you watch this somewhere, or are you playing silly on me?"

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Lucy just tilted her head, confused at her master's overreaction.

Max just shook his head.

"whatever, we don't have the time for this. Turn into your spirit form and leave the dungeon first.

Take over the mountain and receive the goods as I push them through the gate. "

.

Max's space ring was already full, so he had to manually move things out. Thankfully, with the strength boost from cold blood, it wouldn't be a problem.

....

Lucy left the dungeon on Max's orders.

Outside almost 4 hours passed.

There are people waiting outside.

Some suspect that the person who entered the dungeon is above E-rank and found a way to enter temporarily.

If he isn't allowed to clear the dungeon, they might have a chance.

Others have no choice but to wait. Maybe they or their relatives have low talent as pet masters or no talent at all, but they still want a chance to rise.

They were waiting, but Mist suddenly engulfed the surroundings once more. It was incredibly thick, making it impossible to see anything. The suddenness of it caught them off guard, leaving them unsure of how to react.

Max started throwing the minerals first, then the interesting plants and trees.

He plans to grow them on his mountain. Who knows, he might get something useful.

After Max finished loading he walked through, and after the familiar dizziness , Mist rushed towards him and covered his figure.

'Lu, let's be quick about this. Open a storage as close as possible to our home and put everything there.

Will move immediately after that. '

'OK'.

Lucy went to work while Max planned to laze around. Having a pet is so convenient you get to mess around all day long, yet the work is always done.

As a cloud formed under him and he started flying, Max remembered something and started looking around for a certain group of people.

But to his disappointment, he didn't see the figure of Vivian or that of Hu Wang.

"Tck," Max clicked his tongue, "Lucky Bastards. "

Although Max was very interested in throwing the police woman to a herd of beasts, at the same time he was curious about Hu Wang's sudden growth.

Earlier, Lucy could clearly judge that he wasn't weak among the crowd, even stronger than her in normal form.

He remembered that guy had such poor talent that he couldn't even reach E-rank as a pet master.

Max hadn't thought about it before, but now he realized that guy might have become a martial artist somehow.

Maybe there was another dungeon, just like this one.

But even so, Max won't go out of his way to chase after them.

Whatever benefits he might gain from that bunch isn't worth the trouble of running around after them.

so he just flew up, leaving the scene at the same time, making sure no one was following him.

"Sigh. If I just have access to the net, I might be able to learn if there were a second dungeon. "

when Max captured those two people, he only asked about the current situation and didn't consider anything else.

Suddenly Max realized something.

Looking at the crowd not far away from him, Max couldn't help but think he was stupid.

"all of those phones are free for the taking! And here am I grumbling about not having access to the net, damn my pet's IQ level might be affecting me a little. "

Max wasted no time and rushed to the nearest group.

...

"give me your phone and open the lock, now. "

The group was stunned and slightly fearful. Here in the wilderness it's the law of the jungle.

Even though there were enough eye witnesses, if they annoyed this person, he might just slap them to death.

One of them immediately took out his phone.

"here you go sir, you can keep it."

Max took the phone and nodded. "I won't keep it.

I'd just throw it when I am done with it. You can try to find it."

The person was stunned, but he didn't dare to anger Max, so he smiled happily but stiffly.

"I will definitely look for it, sir, safe travels ."

Max left without wasting more time on this bunch.

While flying to the edge of Lucy's range, he opened the web and started reading the latest news.

-Breaking news, Dungeons with deep dive VR technology has been discovered close to.....

….

"wow, a lot has happened since I left Glory City, but none of it seems to be of importance to me.

Hmmm, if my plans work out and I reach a certain level of power, I might join the fun later. "

....

Soon enough, Lucy was done with her work in merely half an hour or so.

'job done '

"well done, Lu, switch mountains now."

'Ok'

Once Lu takes full control over a mountain, she won't need to spend too much time to do it again if she left her mountain form.

So this time Max didn't have to wait. The takeover was almost instantaneous.
