The so-called treasure was the reflection of everyone's greed and desire.
Everyone saw it differently. You could find whatever you wanted inside.
Some people saw endless gems and gold inside, some people found a way to become gods, and some people saw magic potions that could prolong life!
It would have something to ask for, and the power of greed magnified the desire in its heart by tenfold or hundredfold as long as it was an intelligent life form.
The inner desire could transform one into monstrosity once it had consumed that person.
The treasure turned into a faint golden energy under everyone's gaze.
However, the golden lion crawled into the sky. The gloating players didn't notice this. Its golden fur became increasingly dazzling as the treasure disappeared.
There seemed to be a subtle connection between the two.
