At this point, over seventy people had gathered on the island. With the treasure map in hand, everyone was buzzing with excitement.

“All these really are treasures! Let me see. Blackstone Dates that boost constitution, Sunheart Melons that increase strength, and Swiftwing Fruits that enhance agility. Just look at these!”

“I’m so excited! There’s even a pair of Water Treading Boots. I’m definitely going for it!”

“Detox Pill and Clarity Elixir; they’re my kind of treasures. I’ve got some medical skills. If anyone finds any, come to me. I’ll pay a premium!”

“Advanced Flipper, Advanced Diving Suit; each can boost one’s speed by 3 points. I’m so excited! I’m definitely taking these!”

“Didn’t you guys see the White Marble Everleaf? That’s the real treasure! It’s right over there. I’m heading over to check it out!”

“Forget it; the White Marble Everleaf is way too rare for me to snatch. I’m happy with the Blackstone Date, Sunheart Melon, and Swiftwing Fruit.”

Everyone was buzzing with excitement. Emmett, Gideon, Rodger, Danelle, and the others felt the same.

“You should open the chests where I directed you,” Leeanne said pointedly, not wanting them to waste their time. After all, she had already taken whatever could be taken.

With that, she got up and made her way toward the White Marble Everleaf. She guessed she wouldn’t be the only one heading over there.

Leeanne hopped on Little Blue, and in no time, they were soaring over the dense forest. Just beyond it stood the mountain where the White Marble Everleaf was located.

However, they couldn’t get there. The entire forest ahead was blanketed in white fog, and even Little Blue couldn’t get through. Just as it tried to pass through the mist, it veered off course, quickly retreated, and then stumbled to the ground.

Leeanne, feeling uneasy, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Little Blue groaned, “Oh no, it’s poisonous!”

At this point, Snowy messaged: [There’s miasma in the forest. You probably can’t get through.]

[Miasma?] Leeanne asked.

Snowy replied: [Yeah, it’s poisonous miasma. Don’t let Little Blue come over; it’ll get poisoned!]

Just then, Little Blue shook its head. “I can’t take it anymore. What is this crap? It smells awful!”

Leeanne stopped it and said, “Stay put. Don’t go any further.” Knowing things were serious, Little Blue flopped down on a branch to rest.

Leeanne circled the dense forest and confirmed that, to reach the mountain where the White Marble Everleaf grew, she had to pass through this miasma–filled woodland.

Snowy was already there, so logically speaking, it shouldn’t be a problem. ‘But what if other wild beasts show up? Snowy can’t take them all on its own. I must get through,‘ Leeanne thought to herself.

‘Oh yes, the Clarity Elixir, Leeanne suddenly remembered. She then took out the recipe of the Clarity Elixir and looked it

over.

[Clarity Elixir: Removes negative statuses such as confusion, unconsciousness, and madness. When taken in advance, it can also resist miasma. Required materials: Spirit Poria 1, Bitter Lotus Herb 2.]

‘Yes, that’s the one,‘ she thought. ‘Now, I only need to find the Spirit Poria. I’ve never seen this herb in the trading hall, so it must be on Coral Island.

After a moment of thought, Leeanne began searching near the Poisonous Miasma Forest. She scoured every corner, under every tree, and atop every branch, yet found nothing.

Meanwhile, the adventurous players had already spread out all over the place, searching for treasures. The first places everyone rushed to were where the Blackstone Date, Swiftwing Fruit, and Sunheart Melon could be found.

Sunheart Melon was the most sought–after. Twenty or thirty people went there, and everyone began a thorough search, leaving no plant or patch of grass unchecked.

Finally, the limping Jared was the first to spot a Sunheart Melon. So frustrated he nearly lost his mind, he kicked a hapless. little tree, and immediately, a chime rang out: [Sunheart Melon Found!]

Jared’s eyes lit up. He circled the sad little tree, poking and patting it for ages to make sure this was the treasure they had been hunting for.

Many people were nearby, and when a few players noticed Jared acting strangely, they swarmed over. Jared hurriedly blocked them and said, “Go away! I found it first!”

He then shouted, “Bailey, Callum, the Sunheart Melon is right here! Quickly come over!” Bailey and Callum dashed over, standing in the way to block the crowd of players trying to rush in.

Bailey said firmly, “We’ve agreed earlier; no killing each other on this island. Whoever claims a treasure first, it belongs to them!”

The players‘ expressions varied. They had all paid hefty deposits to get onto the island, and so far hadn’t scored a single worthwhile item. Everyone was on edge, anxious and restless; no one was going to play fair under these circumstances.

While Bailey was confronting the others, one player quietly slipped through their defense and dashed straight for the Sunheart Melon. He didn’t even bother to check but just yanked off a branch with all his strength, hugged it, and ran off.

Jared noticed it and blew up. “Thief! Get back here!” He limped after the player as fast as he could.

Just as Bailey turned around, a few more players rushed over. No one saw the fruit, nor did they have a clue what was going on. In the rush, everyone just grabbed whatever branch they could and dashed off, hoping to figure it out when they got back.

Bailey, furious, pulled out her horn bow and let loose a couple of arrows, hitting two players and leaving them injured. Nevertheless, the Sunheart Melon tree was still almost looted clean.

The players snatched whatever they could and ran off, leaving just a handful who played fair standing nearby, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

The two players who were shot started cursing up a storm in the chat channel. [Bailey, didn’t you say we were supposed to get along well? Why’d you shoot us?]

Jared was fuming. [We spotted the Sunheart Melon first! What are you guys even fighting for?]

[We were all there! How could you say you spotted it first? We saw it too!]

[Yeah, we were just trying to check it out, and you shot us? That’s being overbearing!]

[That’s right! You’re the one being overbearing. You always say Leeanne’s overbearing, but you’re even more overbearing than she is!]

Bailey hurried over to check the Sunheart Melon tree, only to find not a single fruit left. ‘Since most of the branches had been ripped off and hauled away, of course, there aren’t any fruits left. Someone probably has grabbed the fruit in the chaos, she thought.

Bailey was so furious that she was trembling. “We were the ones who found the Sunheart Melon, and you guys snatched the whole tree clean! That’s just too much! Don’t forget, we’re the ones who brought you guys here in the first place!”

“What does it mean by you all found it first? The Sunheart Melon was right there, and I was only six feet away. Why shouldn’t I take it?” someone retorted.
