Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Lynn sensed something and flipped out a new card with his right hand.

The next moment, the card transformed into a yellowed parchment.

【Name: Treasure Hunting Paper】

[Grade: C+]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Doraemon]

[Description: A disposable item. Hold it with both hands, silently say "treasure hunt," and a map route will appear on the originally blank paper, pointing to a high-value treasure.]

Treasure hunting paper? Not bad.

Lynn was easily satisfied; after all, it was only a C-grade trading card, and getting a C+ grade reward was already a good deal.

He didn't even put in any effort; he simply copied a memory technique.

At this point, the characteristic bar for Mount Krusk has reached its limit, providing only two cards, but both are quite good, especially the B-rank Ice Shape Magic.

As it happened, Mount Cruz was known as the "Treasure Mountain," and Lynn immediately decided to use it to see what treasures he could find.

Hold the object in both hands and silently recite "treasure hunt".

Immediately, the parchment glowed, displaying the surrounding area on a map, complete with textual guidance, as if to ensure the user could find the treasure's location.

That's true. Doraemon is a childcare robot, so the gadgets in his pocket are naturally easier to use... except for items like the Galaxy Destruction Bomb, of course.

"Huh? What's this? A map?"

Chopper, now back to his normal size, jumped onto the chair, peeked out with his little head to see the parchment pattern, and asked curiously.

"No, this is a treasure map." Lynn smiled and ruffled Chopper's head, which wasn't wearing a hat; the fluffy texture felt very comfortable.

"Ready to go treasure hunting with me? Maybe something truly extraordinary... like a world-destroying artifact," Lynn joked.

"Wow—Kaku-yi (So cool!)!" Chopper exclaimed, his chin agape, his eyes sparkling. "I want to go! I want to go!"

With just a few words, the man and the deer made plans to search for treasure.

According to the treasure map, the location is on the outskirts of the Ice Maze, not far from Cruise City. It can be visited and returned in a day, and you don't need to bring too much stuff.

……

Ice and snow maze.

This is the most famous attraction in the Cruz Mountains, bar none.

But it's limited to the outermost perimeter.

Ice mazes are essentially ice cave formations created by local climate and special soil conditions. Only a small portion of them are above the surface, with most of the space located underground.

Occasionally, there are some irregularly shaped holes on the ground.

The interior consists of spaces of varying sizes, made of materials such as solid ice and permafrost, which are interconnected and occupy most of the underground space of Mount Krus.

Its complex terrain and similar landscape make it a natural, challenging maze.

Once you venture deep into the area, you are very likely to get lost and eventually die from hunger and cold. Every year, the number of people who have gone missing here is in the hundreds.

Therefore, only the outermost perimeter is a tourist attraction, and only some daring treasure hunters and adventurers will venture deeper into it.

This also includes treasure hunters from the Hunter Association.

The Ice and Snow Maze is uniquely endowed with countless treasures due to its location, such as rare minerals.

There is even evidence that a lost tribal civilization once existed in the Krusk Mountains.

It is said that some treasures are hidden deep within the Ice and Snow Labyrinth, so even treasure hunters who are Nen users often come to the Ice and Snow Labyrinth.

However, the Ice and Snow Maze is too dangerous. In addition to the risk of getting lost, there are also dangers such as terrain and unknown creatures inside. Even Nen users may perish here.

Inside the ice and snow maze, in a passageway.

A makeshift team of six is ​​currently exploring.

"whispering sound!"

"This place is really confusing, they all look the same." The blond guy spat, looking very impatient, and casually punched the ice wall next to him, blasting a big hole with a bang.

Ice shards splashed everywhere.

However, this scene did not surprise anyone present.

Because this team is entirely composed of Nen users.

"Sorry, the Ice and Snow Maze is indeed like this." The young man wearing black-rimmed glasses scratched his face and said apologetically, "We'll reach the treasure's location after walking a little further."

He held a glowing disc in his hand, which made him the nominal leader, guiding everyone forward.

At that moment, two magnetic voices came from inside.

"Well, after all, it's the infamous Ice and Snow Labyrinth. As a Nen user, you can't be so impatient, right, Magis?"

"I see, Maggio."

Huang Mao frowned, and the two almost identical voices gave him goosebumps.

I watched coldly, and subconsciously kept my distance from those two perverts.

Following his gaze, one could see the twins striking a dance pose.

With one arm clasped together and the other arm outstretched, they resembled a pair of conjoined swans, their heavily made-up faces displaying similar expressions.

The twins look exactly alike, wearing identical pink tight-fitting dance costumes; they are practically cut from the same mold.

If they were a pair of sisters, it would probably be a pleasing sight to behold.

But the fact that these are two brothers with huge muscles makes them look extremely irritating.

Twins are extremely difficult to distinguish. The only difference is that the older brother, Maggio, speaks more often and is usually the first of the twins to start talking.

If they were just a little weaker, then Huang Mao could have easily taken care of these two guys he really disliked.

But judging from their aura, these two twins were by no means weak; at least he wasn't confident he could defeat them.

"I don't care what it is, I just want the treasure! An expensive and rare treasure, hahaha! Don't you agree, little sister!"

On the other side, the man laughed heartily, his words filled with desire for treasure.

The man had a rugged face and triangular eyes. The most striking feature was the pair of curly beards under his nose. He was 1.8 meters tall.

Logically speaking, his height is not short, but his sister next to him is 2.3 meters tall, standing out from the crowd. When the brother and sister walk together, the brother appears much shorter.

"Um...yes..." Despite her tall and imposing figure, the younger sister's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and she was too timid to speak loudly, which was quite different from her appearance.

They're all weirdos... The blond guy walked forward impatiently.

If it weren't for the bespectacled man saying there was a way to find a lot of treasure, he wouldn't have joined this weird team.

In fact, the team was formed by the bespectacled man, who invited others to join him, claiming that he had the ability to find treasures but lacked the strength himself.

Snap—

As the group reached a fork in the road, footsteps could be heard coming from another passage.

Looking around, what comes into view is a man with neat black hair and handsome features, and... a reindeer?

While Huang Mao and his gang were sizing each other up, Lynn was also sizing them up.

What a coincidence! I bumped into someone in the ice and snow maze.
