The alley was empty except for an epic-level treasure chest; no other monsters were in sight. This struck Song Jian as odd, because usually such chests are guarded by powerful creatures that one must either lure away or kill to claim the treasure. There was no other way.
The vertical eye on his forehead opened slightly, emitting a faint glow, and sure enough, at the far end of the alley, a semi-transparent figure was wandering in front of the chest—an invisible monster. However, Song Jian had encountered plenty of such creatures and wasn't surprised.
Song Jian crept stealthily towards the monster. He had to keep some distance from the entrance of the alley, or the noise from the battle might attract other monsters.

A Level 55 Elite BOSS posed no threat to Song Jian, but the quieter the fight, the better. He decided not to use the Thousand Swords Art; the commotion it caused might attract a swarm of monsters.
