Chapter 61

How marvelous!

Qin Han instinctively narrowed his eyes.

Glancing at the 10,000 gold coins now in his possession, he couldn’t suppress the grin spreading across his face.

It took him a while to snap out of that euphoric sensation before he turned his gaze to the other treasures scattered throughout the nest.

Like a pirate stumbling upon a hoard of riches, his eyes widened once more.

Gold—everywhere he looked, it was gold.

Judging by the luster, it was all high-quality pure gold.

The designs of these items clearly indicated human craftsmanship, likely stolen by the Golden Eagle from the island’s inhabitants over time.

Picking up a gold cup, he stored it in his Space Ring and checked its properties.

Gold Cup: Artifact

A utensil from a wealthy household, highly valuable.

Can be decomposed into gold coins.

Weight: 20

Qin Han chuckled.

An ordinary gold coin weighed 10 units, meaning this single cup could be broken down into twenty gold coins.

Surveying the nest filled with golden items, he wondered just how much he could exchange them for.

With excitement bubbling in his chest, he swiftly gathered everything in sight.

Time passed steadily.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally finished decomposing every last item.

In total, the nest yielded 13,906 gold coins.

Combined with the other coins already in his inventory, he now possessed over 32,000 gold coins!

He grinned again.

Thunder Poison Island truly lived up to its reputation as a land of riches.

To gain such a massive haul so soon after arriving—this boded well for the journey ahead!

After one last glance around the now-empty nest, he prepared to leave.

Not a speck of gold remained, only scattered debris like bones, tattered cloth, and rotten wood littering the ground.

"Hmm? What’s this?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Han spotted a red wooden plaque.

Carved into its surface was the intricate totem of a cloud-wreathed mythical beast, exuding an air of mystique.

In his earlier gold-fueled frenzy, he’d completely overlooked it.

Picking it up, his eyes lit up with joy.

Ancestor’s Blessing: Special Rune Plaque

HP +1,000

HP regeneration +10 per second

Poison Resistance +50

A blessed rune that takes effect when stored in the inventory.

A rune!

This was a true treasure.

Though the Witch Poison Pearl already granted him poison immunity, the +1,000 HP was a godsend.

After all, he was still Level 0. Even with the two Constitution points he’d recently gained, his actual HP was a pitiful 36. A single misstep could mean instant death.

While the Red Snake Fruit temporarily boosted HP, the effect was fleeting, and his supply was dwindling fast.

But now, with a permanent +1,000 HP, his margin for error had skyrocketed.

The +10 HP regeneration was another excellent bonus.

Combined with the Space Ring’s +2 HP regeneration, he’d now recover 12 HP per second!

Unless he faced a major battle, he could practically forgo healing items altogether.

What a fantastic find!

The moment he placed the rune plaque in his inventory, his HP surged.

Feeling the torrent of vitality coursing through his body, Qin Han was overwhelmed by a sense of invincibility.

His confidence for the road ahead soared even higher!

After carefully inspecting the nest once more and confirming there were no more treasures to be obtained, he prepared to leave.

Ten minutes later, he climbed up a vine to reach the cliff's summit.

Just as he was about to land safely, a sudden change occurred!

A sharp whistling sound pierced the air, and a poisonous dart shot toward him at a speed barely discernible to the naked eye.

Qin Han instinctively rolled forward, but the dart still struck his back.

A red damage number of -30 floated up.

Fortunately, the ancient set's defense was high, and the dart's damage was minimal.

With over 1,000 HP and a regeneration rate of 12 HP per second, the attack posed no threat whatsoever.

"Neurotoxin detected. Witch Poison Pearl automatically absorbing."

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure.

Feeds on witchcraft poison, the bane of all toxins in the world.

Attacks inflict 200 poison damage per second for 10 seconds.

Skill: Soul Accumulation Technique (A witchcraft technique that gathers the resentment of slain creatures and can be actively released during attacks.)
