"Yes, the experience points given by this sawgrass are quite high, as long as I fight one more, I can level up." An Rui looked at the flames not far away, touched his chin, and nodded with satisfaction.

Improving one's strength through combat is really a very good way, far faster and easier than hard cultivation. All he had to do was keep looking for enemies, whether they were living or monsters.

When he was trapped on the Scarlet Shark before, he had considered quickly improving his strength by finding someone to challenge, but at that time, the situation was special and it was not appropriate to set up too many enemies, so he did not put it into practice. Now that he's free to look for opponents as he pleases, he finally has a chance to level up quickly.

The sawgrass is dead, and all that's left is just some common weeds. Anrui used some low-hanging tree branches and dirt everywhere to extinguish the flames, so that the fire would not spread in all directions. He's here for profit, not to be an arsonist, and it won't do him any good to burn the whole woods.

Leaving the extinguished scorched earth behind, he continued his way deeper into the woods, walking for about five minutes before encountering a second sawgrass.

The sawgrass seemed to have been captured not long ago, and the grass around it was covered in blood, with the corpse of half a fawn lying on the ground, covered in sharp cuts.

Anrui repeated his old trick, took out a Molotov cocktail, and threw it at the grass.

The bottle exploded, the flames ignited, and the sawgrass quickly turned to black ash in the flames, its sharp blades useless.

After the death of the sawgrass, An Rui once again earned experience points, and his strength finally broke through.

[Hint: You have accumulated enough experience points to successfully upgrade to level 3 Dragon Warrior, with attack +5, defense +5, and stamina +4.] 】

This time, Anrui only improved his physical fitness and failed to learn new skills.

Dragon warriors will not learn new skills at level 3, and will only learn a new skill at level 4, and at that time, Anrui's combat methods will be more varied, rather than relying on dragon teeth to cut a combat skill to support the façade.

This upgrade is not just a data improvement, but a real improvement. A new force was like an electric current, born out of invisibility and injected into An Rui's body, making him much stronger.

"It's a lot bigger, which feels good." An Rui threw two random punches into the air, fast and powerful, a significant improvement from the past. If he was allowed to fight Karl now, even if he didn't stimulate the power of the dragon's blood, he would have a fifty percent chance of winning, which was much stronger than before.

In this way, with the help of Molotov cocktails, Anrui made it all the way to the middle of the mangrove forest.

In his previous life, he had been here several times and knew the terrain well. The location of the surrounding trees coincided exactly with the location he remembered, which made his heart beat twice with excitement.

He's not here to clean sawgrass or have fun, but to find treasure!

There was a pirate named Quest who died of illness in Iron Cannon Harbor, and he didn't have half of the people around him at that time, so he put the looted property into a treasure chest and buried it in the middle of the mangrove forest. This is not a small amount, there are more than a hundred gold coins!

The purchasing power of these gold coins is very large, enough to buy a beautiful building in Iron Cannon Harbor, and the rest of the money can be used to make a small transaction and marry a young and beautiful wife. If it were used to build a ship, the money would be enough to build a small sailing ship comparable to the Scarlet Shark.

An Rui is now poor and white, and the little silver coins on his body are not enough at all, if he wants to go to sea to do business, he must have a starting capital. The more than 100 gold coins buried in the mangrove forest are simply too important to him.

"That treasure chest should be buried in the middle of the four trees, let me look for it." With such a thought running through An Rui's mind, the outline of the burial site appeared in his mind, and he began to search patiently around.

It is also possible that sawgrass grows in this area, and the danger is no less than that of the outer woods, and he is still very careful when he looks for it, and has been keeping an eye on the plants around him.

After searching for a while, the four trees in a circle finally came into view, exactly the same as the scene he remembered. The position of these four trees is rare, and it presents a regular square, as if measured with a ruler, which is very different from the scattered trees around it.

"This is it!" An Rui secretly cheered, stopped, and looked down at the ground in the middle of the four trees, which was full of weeds, and there was no clue to it. But he knew that under this seemingly ordinary land, there were more than a hundred gold coins hidden! Heavy, yellow, and full of purchasing power of gold coins!

I have to say that the feeling of looking for the treasure is so wonderful that An Rui has an urge to look up to the sky and smile, but fortunately, he has strong restraint and resists this impulse.

He stood where he was, scanning around, taking in his surroundings to avoid being seen.

Although the mangrove forest is dangerous, the degree of danger is not high, and if ordinary people are careful, they can come and go freely here, so as not to put their lives here. In addition, the trees and wild fruits here have a certain value, so there are still people who will venture here, and it is not off the beaten track.

If someone else sees Anrui digging for treasure, it will be troublesome, and it may attract robbery, so you have to be careful.

Of course, he can also choose to come back at night, so that he will not meet outsiders. However, at night, the mangrove forest will be infested with some powerful monsters that lurk in the night, so it is safer to dig for treasure during the day.

The surroundings of the woods were quite empty, and they could be seen clearly in a few glances, except for An Rui, there was no figure at all. Not only can you not see people, but you can't hear the footsteps of people walking. It seems that he was lucky today and had a good time digging for treasure.

After confirming that there was no one around, An Rui spat in the palm of his hand and began the excavation work in full swing. He took out the small shovel that was in the bag behind his back and poked it hard at the ground between the four trees, shoveling away a large chunk of dirt with the first blow.

Just because no one is coming now doesn't mean that no one will come later, and you must act quickly.

Anrui worked hard, sweating like rain, dancing the shovel in his hand into the wind, and each shovel fell, digging up a large piece of soil. Every ten diggings, he would raise his head and look around to see if anyone was coming, maintaining the necessary vigilance.

As the excavation progressed, the floating soil around the four trees gradually increased and piled up into a small bag of soil. In contrast, the pit in the middle of the four trees grew larger and larger, reaching more than a yard deep.

Digging is a lot of work, and no one wants to bury the treasure too deeply, so the pirate named Quest stopped digging only one yard and buried the treasure at this depth.

An Rui knew that he was already very close to the treasure, and more energy appeared in his body, and his movements became much faster. Waves of dirt were shoveled out and landed on the surface.

"Bump."

The shovel fell, plunged into the dirt, and collided with a hard object with a muffled sound.

"Found it!" An Rui's heart was ecstatic, and there seemed to be a phantom of countless gold coins in his eyes, and the movements in his hands became faster.

The earth had been dug up layer by layer, revealing a small wooden box, which seemed to be quite old, and the surface of the wooden box was already showing signs of decay.

With the hard work of Anrui, the wooden box finally saw the light of day and was completely dug up.

An Rui raised the shovel in his hand, aimed at the lock of the wooden box and smashed it hard, and the rusty lock broke in response to the sound and lost its effect. He opened the lid of the box, and hundreds of gold coins immediately caught his eye, shining with a charming golden glow in the sunlight.

"Gold! I love you! With a roar in his heart, Anrui closed the lid of the box again, removed the bag he was carrying, stuffed the box into it along with the gold coins, and carried it on his back.

An Rui climbed out of the pit and pushed the surrounding floating soil back into the pit at will, burying the place. The shovel was useless, and it was cumbersome to hold in my hand, so I simply threw it here.

An Rui looked around to make sure that there was no one around, tightened the bag on his shoulder, and walked away quickly, like a killer who had just finished killing someone and tried to flee the scene.

……

Shortly after An Rui left, a figure flashed out from behind the tree, staring at the back of An Rui's departure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a greedy and cruel flash in his eyes. The man stayed where he was for a moment, then took a light step and chased in the direction An Rui had left, walking lifelessly.
