The first place he considered was deep within the mountain. However, he also realized how hard it would be to find if he did that. After a while, he figured that he might as well put it there.
However, he would also create a path 'directly' to it. It would be open to everyone and not hidden, but one would have to complete challenges to reach deeper and eventually reach the shield.
He would also make other treasures at the other checkpoints in order to encourage better challengers.
Zhou Fan planned the layout out before he sunk deep into the mountain without leaving a mark or any sign that he had been there. He continued to sink down until he reached 100 miles deep.
When he reached that point, Zhou Fan pushed the dirt around him backwards until a cube of air 10 feet wide, 10 feet long, and ten feet in height was created. He then created wood Qi to form a podium where he placed the shield.
Around the room, he placed many formations and restrictions. They would ensure that nobody weaker than Zhou Fan would be able to break in the room without following the path. He would also have to remember to upgrade the strength of the arrays and formations after a while.
Zhou Fan then created a square hole in the walls and the formations. He started to push the square hole back until it formed a hallway. He pushed that hallway on and on, lining the sides with arrays and formations equal in level to the ones in the other room, until he reached one of the mountain sides.
On the side of the mountain, and extending far below it, there was a square shaped hallway that defended one of the world's greatest treasures.
After he made the path towards the shield room, Zhou Fan prepared to make the challenge rooms. In total, there would be ten challenges that one had to pass in order to get the final treasure.
However, even if one didn't get past all the rooms, they would still get lesser rewards for passing whatever rooms they passed.
In order to make sure someone strong didn't repeat the challenges over and over again, farming treasures, he put a formation at the entrance that would allow a person to only challenge the entire thing once a month.
After making sure that there was no way anyone could cheat their way through, what Zhou Fan decided to call a dungeon, Zhou Fan walked through the halls, expanded them to be 50 feet wide, 50 feet tall, and 50 feet long, and added booby traps and monsters.
Among them were skeletons and demonized animals. After that, Zhou Fan went to the one-tenth point of the dungeon and created doors to block the path that led through the rest of the dungeon, forcing everyone to go through them.
He also put doors on the other side so that anyone who defeated the boss he was about to put down would be able to leave the room. They wouldn't unlock until one defeated the boss, however.
As he stood in the middle of the room, Zhou Fan thought about what type of bosses to put. Truthfully, he was deciding whether or not he would give the bosses a theme or make them completely different.
After thinking for a while, he chose to create a theme. He would make the first nine bosses the sons of the tenth one. They would be a new species, but they would be similar to turtles. The idea of turtles also fit the shield since they were animals who heavily relied on protection. He would also give each of the bosses different affinities, the tenth boss's being fire.
After getting the incredible idea, Zhou Fan got to work with the first boss. Its affinity would be water. It would be the size of three humans, but it would be pretty weak, at the third level of foundation establishment.
Basically anyone, regardless of talent, would be able to pass the first boss in due time. That is also why he chose to put a weak reward. The reward would be a bottle of foundation establishment pills that would speed up cultivation.
For the second boss, he put the same room layout, but the boss looked different and its affinity was wind. For the third, he did the same, but its affinity was metal.
He continued to repeat the pattern until the tenth boss. The ninth boss's strength was already at the tenth level of void traversing. It would be good to mention that the bosses were artificial beings created by Zhou Fan.
As the average and top strength of the world increased, their strengths would too automatically increase, but slowly. He estimated that the tenth boss's strength would cap at tenth level space shattering and Zhou Fan would just leave it that way.
As for now, however, its strength was at the first level of space shattering. That was still much higher than anyone else's in the Zhou World, but Zhou Fan didn't want anyone to be able to beat the dungeon at that point in time.
The tenth boss was much bigger than any of the other bosses and its main attack was breathing fire, despite not being a dragon.
Its back had spikes and it was the most powerful existence in the universe besides Zhou Fan. Its creation proved that Zhou Fan's power was indeed remarkable.
After creating it, Zhou Fan didn't put a reward unlike the other times. Instead, he simply made it drop a key when it died. The key would unlock the room with the shield.
Zhou Fan wasn't worried about the shield becoming useless once anyone was able to defeat the boss.Since it was a growth type weapon, it would forever be useful, especially due to the fact that only Zhou Fan would be able to create them, ever.
After all, growth type weapons were far too dangerous to be allowed. The only reason Zhou Fan was doing it was to create some strong people.
After Zhou Fan double checked everything and made sure that the dungeon was finished, he left it and went back to the mountain peak.
He stood at the tallest point of the peak and looked below. There weren't that many trees and there wasn't a forest for miles, so Zhou Fan was able to find what, or who he was looking for very quickly.
About 10 miles away, behind a tree, was the dinosaur that he had run into previously. This time, however, it wasn't alone.
Alongside it were many other similar dinosaurs. They seemed to travel in a herd and go around eating plants.
One difference was that the ankylosaurus Zhou Fan saw yesterday was slightly bigger than the others by about a foot. That may be due to the effect of the emerald ore it was laying on.
Zhou Fan started floating above the mountain and flew towards the group of ankylosauruses without being noticed. He stopped far above the herd and watched on as they continued their daily lives.
Over time, Zhou Fan noted that they didn't seem to have a home or even make a temporary one. They simply set up camp at night and feel asleep.
Another thing that Zhou Fan noted was that the ankylosauruses took turns guarding. That action made Zhou Fan believe that there were more dinosaurs out there. They may be even more powerful than the ankylosauruses.
The night passed without another dinosaur even being spotted and the ankylosauruses moved on at the crack of dawn. They traveled for about 6 hours before anything interesting happened.
By that time, Zhou Fan was starting to think it would be another uninteresting day, but soon after the ankylosauruses entered the nearest forest, rustling sounds could be heard.
Before any of the ankylosauruses could react, a large dinosaur ran out of the bushes and attacked the one in front. The front one happened to be the one that Zhou Fan encountered on the mountain, and it immediately swung its tail at the giant being before it could even see what it was.
The tail directly collided with the beings face and made it stumble back a few steps, knocking over many trees in the process.
After that, the battle came to a brief pause, within which a staredown occured. The ankylosauruses finally had a good look at the huge beast that attacked them.
It was 20 feet tall, 50 feet wide, and stood on two legs. It also had two small arms hanging from its body.
In an instant, Zhou fan made a name for the dinosaur. A Gigantosaurus. The reason for its name was obvious, it was huge.
Although there were a herd of 10 ankylosauruses, Zhou Fan didn't know if they would be able to stop the gigantosaurus. Even the first hit made by the leading ankylosaurus was sheer luck, along with the increase in strength from the emerald ore on the mountain.
The gigantosaurus stared at the ankylosauruses with a fierce bloodlust in its eyes like they were nothing but food. Although the ankylosauruses wanted to run, they were smart enough to know that they stood no chance like that.
ROAR!
The gigantosaurus only stared at them for a few moments before it let out an ear shaking roar and ran towards them. Its stomps shaked the ground, but the ankylosauruses stood fearlessly.
As soon as they were about to collide, the ankylosaur Zhou Fan saw yesterday swung its tail at the gigantosaur. This time, the gigantosaur raised its head and dodged before biting at the ankylosaur's shell.
Its teeth were thoroughly chomping through the armor of the ankylosaur when another one swung its tail and hit the gigantosaurs body, forcing it to let go and focus on it.
Besides the injured ankylosaur, the entire herd surrounded the gigantosaur and attacked it.
The fight was long and bitter, but the ankylosauruses managed to force the gigantosaurus to retreat.
Sadly, it managed to take one of the ankylosauruses' lives. The rest of the herd had injuries all over them, but at least they survived.
As soon as the ankylosaur Zhou Fan met healed up, they went back the way they came and left the forest in defeat.
As for Zhou Fan, he chose to follow the gigantosaur as it ran through the forest. After about thirty minutes, it reached a cave and dropped the ankylosaur before eating it.
Zhou Fan watched on as it ate, then slept. The night passed and the gigantosaur only woke up at noon. It gave out a yawn and left the cave, likely in search of prey.
Before long, it came upon a group of extremely large dinosaurs with huge bodies and necks. It didn't even spare them a second glance and walked past them. Zhou Fan assumed that neither group felt the need to make enemies with each other.
Of course, that was only because the big dinosaurs were herbivores. Zhou Fan took the liberty of naming them brontosauruses.
The gigantosaurus continued to walk around the huge forest in search of prey. It soon came upon a group of dinosaurs similar to itself, but much much smaller. Zhou Fan called them velociraptors.
Although they had a brief stare off, it seemed that neither side wanted to fight each other. After all, there were far too many velociraptors and the gigantosaurus wouldn't be killed without a fight.
The gigantosaurus once again left in search of food. Eventually, it found a group of three-horned dinosaurs.
It didn't immediately attack, but instead waited for one of them to leave the pack. As soon as it was far enough away, the gigantosaurus sneak attacked the dinosaur and killed it in seconds from behind.
As it carried it to its cave, Zhou Fan named it a triceratops due to its three horns. The Gigantosaurus repeated the process for multiple days. Zhou Fan continued to watch on despite the repetitiveness.
During the fifth day of hunting, the gigantosaurus ran into a group of dinosaurus nearly as big as itself, but in a pack.
