"Have you ever seen giant strawberries?" After following Gilgamesh for a long time, Roxy understood him better than anyone else. She felt the subtle changes in Gilgamesh and gently whispered in his ear.
Gilgamesh remained silent, only staring at the old man with the corners of his lips slightly lifted, revealing a faint smile.
"This old man wants everyone to do something very simple." At this moment, the old man raised his head and cheerfully smiled at everyone. Then he said, "Listen, anyone who can open this chest can choose any of these three treasures!"
After finishing speaking, the old man's eyes narrowed as he said these words and threw a large stone chest under his feet.
Such words from the old man caused a commotion among everyone. This thing was too incredible; it was like a damn rain of hamburgers. By opening the treasure chest, one could immediately grab one of the treasures on the wooden box. This was the best thing in the world that could happen to anyone. So, after the old man finished speaking, everyone stared at him.
"Is this true?" A Demon Lord couldn't help but ask.
The old man's eyes squinted as he smiled, "This is more real than even fornicating with a mermaid; this is no joke. My words are made of gold, and I never regret my words. Anyone who opens this stone chest can choose any of these three treasures."
"Any conditions?" Suddenly, everyone was eager to try this cake falling from the sky, and who would want to miss this great opportunity!
"No conditions. Whether you hit, crush, or use magic. Everything is possible as long as you can open this stone chest!" The old man happily smiled and looked at everyone speculatively.
"I will go first, and no one get in my way." Suddenly, everyone was advancing, wanting to immediately rush to open the stone chest.
"Don't worry, there's no hurry, take your time, everyone will have a chance." The old man casually waved his hand and prevented everyone from rushing. He smiled and said, "Those who want to try have to form a line first. One at a time; I hate pigs that crowd!"
Previously, the old man easily expelled an adventurer, so when he opened his mouth this time, no one dared to be presumptuous; everyone immediately fell silent. An intelligent person immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's form a line!"
At this moment, everyone rushed to form a long line. Among the line were ordinary people. There were also Magi Kings from one direction and even Emperors and Sword Kings.
However, Gilgamesh did not line up. He pulled Eris and Roxy to the side and calmly watched the fun.
In a short moment, there was a long line with a huge and spectacular crowd.
"Go ahead. You need to be quick when it's someone's turn. Only three chances at most; don't waste other people's time." The old man smiled as if he expected something.
"Open Sesame!" Standing right at the front was a Demon Lord. He quickly rushed forward and reached out, grabbing the buckle of the stone chest. He stood firmly as his battle aura flowed. The muscles in his body tightened, exerting a power capable of shaking mountains. However, no matter how much energy he used, even if he gathered all his strength, he was unable to open this stone chest.
"Open, open, open!" The Demon Lord did not give up and revealed his true form. This was a large monkey with extremely sharp dual claws. He clung tightly to the top of the chest, but the stone chest remained as before and didn't budge an inch.
"You can't do it, next." The old man shook his head and initiated the next turn.
The Demon Lord was unwilling, he exerted all his strength, but still couldn't open this stone chest. Although he was unwilling, he couldn't do anything about it. Thus, he withdrew angrily and stood to the side to enjoy the bustling scene.
"Open!" The second person was a wizard. He opened his mouth and chanted a long enchantment, and a sharp blade surrounded by red energy appeared. This red blade was very terrifying.
Boom!
However, no matter how terrifying this magical blade was, upon striking the top of the stone chest, the stone chest still didn't move and wasn't damaged. Not even a mark was left behind.
This wizard launched two more powerful attacks. Each of his attacks added to the earth, but he couldn't damage the stone chest, not even a bit.
"Next!" The old man was too lazy to take another look at this Enlightened Being. He shook his head and sent him away.
"I will do it!" A swordsman unsheathed his sword, and the entire battle aura moved from his body and penetrated the top of the stone chest.
However, the result remained the same; he couldn't open this stone chest.
"Next!" The old man shook his head, disappointed.
Shortly after, people lined up one after another, taking turns to try and activate their techniques and methods. There was even a madman who hit the stone chest with his forehead.
However, regardless of the method, the stone chest remained unmoved and undamaged. Finally, a powerful mage took action. He lifted his magic staff and began gathering magic, putting a powerful force at the tip of his staff. All that magical energy formed an attack, and the street, which was quiet until then, soon filled with chaos. Even powerful mages formed a barrier to prevent further damage.
Eventually, almost everyone had a turn. But still, no one could open this stone chest. This stone chest was like a rock in the toilet, so hard that nothing could break it, making everyone grit their teeth in frustration.
More than half of them left the line, giving up before even starting, watching stronger people than them surrender.
"It's my turn..." said a beautiful woman wearing leather armor.
Boom!
Amidst the lights and battle aura, she made a move. No one knew how she triggered her sword, but with a swing that encompassed unbeatable killing intent, it was seen by everyone. As the edge of the sword descended, it was enough to show its invincible killing intent, making everyone shudder.
Everyone felt chills all over, and their bodies were as cold as ice; it was as if the killing intent enveloped them. In this very second, everyone felt that this sword did not cut the stone chest, but it could cut their heads without hesitation.
Clang!
But still, she failed.
Even the girl dressed in black couldn't believe it. She had extreme confidence in her sword. Not to mention this stone chest, even a hard mineral would be cut under this descending sword. However, the stone chest in front remained undamaged, and this was simply unthinkable.
The girl dressed in black couldn't help but look fiercely forward. The seemingly gaze was able to pierce the stone chest with her killing intent!
"You can't do it." The old man shook his head and said, "Your sword is indeed a good sword, and your sword technique is truly unparalleled, but it's still not enough."
Many people had already tried to open the chest, but the old man didn't even evaluate them once. At this moment, he finally spoke; this was enough to show that the girl dressed in black was truly exceptional.
Although the girl dressed in black couldn't accept it and found it inconceivable, she didn't make another move and withdrew to the side without saying a word.
While standing on the side, everyone else quickly took three steps back, not daring to approach. Such a woman was someone they didn't want to get involved with.
"She's strong, but I'm stronger... Can I split that stone chest in half?" Eris pulled Gilgamesh slightly excited.
"If you don't control your strength, you'll not only split the chest but also the whole city..." Gilgamesh murmured with an ironic smile.
Eris and Roxy's strength in this world was practically unmatched. There were people stronger than them, but they could be counted on one hand. That is to say, they were very powerful.
