Chapter 296: The Test of the Treasure Chest

The mysterious voice had barely faded when Liu Yu's hand stopped just above the treasure chest.

"Who? Who's talking?" Xiaoqing stared wide-eyed nervously, her head darting around like a rattle-drum.

"Hmph, if you want to open the treasure chest, you'll have to pass my test first." The voice rang out again, but no one was seen in the empty cave.

Liu Yu frowned, but said firmly, "What kind of test? Bring it on, we're not afraid!"

"Haha, you've got guts! The first test is an intelligence quiz," the mysterious voice said.

"A trivia question? That's no problem for us!" Pigsy patted his round belly confidently, his face full of nonchalance.

"Listen carefully, there's a word that everyone mispronounces. What is it?" the mysterious voice asked.

Everyone fell into deep thought. Xu Xian frowned and muttered to himself, "This is really hard to think of. I'm about to rack my brains."

Xiaoqing blinked, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "I know! It's the word 'wrong'!"

"Not bad, not bad, you got it right. Now for the second question, what gets dirtier the more you wash it?" the mysterious voice continued.

Liu Yu rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and then answered, "Water."

"Smart! Next is the third question..." the mysterious voice continued to ask questions.

After a series of intellectual challenges, everyone successfully passed the test thanks to their intelligence.

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet, the next test is your strength!" the mysterious voice said, its tone serious.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a group of demon soldiers surged out of the depths of the cave like a tidal wave. They all had ferocious faces, held weapons, and made strange noises.

"Watch this!" Xiao Qing shouted, waving her hands and instantly releasing lightning magic. The crackling current struck several demon soldiers, making them tremble all over and their hair stand on end.

Liu Yu was not to be outdone. His sword danced like a dragon, its shadow flashing, and wherever it went, demon soldiers fell down, screaming in agony.

Bai Suzhen gracefully moved her hands, unleashing ice magic that instantly froze a group of demon soldiers into crystal-clear blocks of ice, rendering them immobile.

Pigsy was even more valiant. He raised his rake high and charged into the demon army like a whirlwind, making the demon soldiers cry out for their parents and flee in terror.

Xu Xian watched nervously from the side, his hands trembling incessantly. Every now and then, he would throw out a few talismans to help. Although they were not very powerful, they did have some effect in disrupting the flow of energy.

Before long, the demon soldiers were routed, losing their armor and weapons.

"Oh, is that all you've got? You dare to try and stop us!" Xiaoqing put her hands on her hips, smiled smugly, and looked very proud.

"Don't let your guard down, there's still a test ahead," Liu Yu reminded him, her face still showing vigilance.

"The final test is an emotional test," the mysterious voice said, a hint of complex emotion lingering in its tone.

"An emotional test? What does that mean?" Everyone looked at each other, puzzled and completely baffled.

"One of you must sacrifice yourself to open the treasure chest," the mysterious voice said, its tone icy and leaving no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent; no one was willing to make a sacrifice.

"I'll do it." Liu Yu stepped forward, her gaze firm, as if she had already made up her mind.

"No, my husband, I can't let you go." Bai Suzhen held Liu Yu's arm tightly, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go instead," Xiaoqing said urgently, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"Stop arguing, I, Old Pig, will go!" Pigsy shouted, patting his chest with an air of righteous indignation.

Just as everyone was arguing, Xu Xian suddenly said, "Why don't we think of a way together? Maybe we can open the treasure chest without sacrificing ourselves."

“Yes, we can’t give up so easily,” Xiaoqing quickly agreed.

So, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"I think this mysterious voice is deliberately making things difficult for us; there might be some flaw in its message," Liu Yu said as he pondered.

"Could there be a mechanism on this treasure chest?" Bai Suzhen carefully examined the treasure chest and said thoughtfully.

The group gathered around the treasure chest, examining it carefully from top to bottom, and sure enough, they found a small button hidden on one side of the chest.

Liu Yu took a deep breath, gently pressed the button, and with a "click," the treasure chest slowly opened.

"Haha, we did it!" Xiaoqing jumped up excitedly, her face beaming with joy.

The treasure chest shone brightly and was filled with all sorts of magical artifacts and precious secret manuals.

"We're going to be rich!" Pigsy's eyes widened, and he almost drooled.

Just as everyone was overjoyed, the mysterious voice rang out again: "Hmph, you're smart. However, these treasures aren't so easy to take..."
