After getting rid of the wolf's pack, there is practically nothing dangerous left. Murong jumped back on to the tree and climbed down. He walked straight to those wolf bodies. Arriving at one the wolf corpse, he hold the knife in his hand and chopped at the wolf's dead. Murong felt as though the knife in his hand had struck a tough and sturdy wood. He was barely able to cut its head through, causing blood to surge out.
He continued to open the wolf's heads and searched for a while but he could not find what he was looking for anywhere.
"Perhaps. There is not enough time and spiritual mana to form a spiritual nucleus yet.", Murong thought to himself as he carefully kept his gaze on the other wolves' dead bodies.
He, then, moved away from that area to continue searching the golden key.
After walking for a period of time, he realized that this mission is not as easy as he thought it was. There was no evident place that he could think of to find that key. What made it even more difficult was the constant need to pass through pre-existing thorns and brush. He had to carve out a path several times now.
Almost 10 hours had been passed, even though he didn't stop looking to rest, he still didn't find what he was looking for. He cut everything down that got in his way. The problem was that he had not found any clues yet as to where the secret key was hidden. He had already searched the entire wildlands, but he couldn't find anything that seemed to be out of place. Suddenly, he realized about the tall big trees that let him escape from the wolve pack. The wolve pack was insist on staying in that area like guarding something despite he already had the most obvious advantage.
"Ding! You will be summoned to the entrance of the dungeon in 1 hour."
Murong rushed toward the area that he fought with the wolf. After sometimes, he arrived at the area. He looked carefully at the tree and stone monument. Unexpectedly, he found the secret compartment on the of big tree.
"Crack!", the sound of detaching of secret compartment inside the tree trunk by the knive.
He, then, opened that secret compartment and found the golden key.
"Ding! Congratulations! Mission accomplished. You have found the golden key."
"Ding! Congratulations! You are the first person in this world to successfully finish dungeon run. You will be received additional bonus. You can choose two out of three rewards from finishing this dungeon."
"Ding! Please select two choices from below
1. Awakening spiritual sense
2. Soldier rank random item
3. Job changing: Hunter (The color is range from red to green. Green means you are really suitable to this job. You could change your job on red color, but it is not recommended.)
Murong looked at those choices and chose option 1 and 2. He, then, warped back to the entrance of the dungeon, successfully done what he aimed for.
After clearing the entrance, he went back to his tent and wrapped up his equipment. There is no point to try to enter the dungeon again. In his past life, it is well-known that, once the dungeon is cleared, it will be reset and on one can enter the dungeon for 24 hours.
He looked at, space ring, his new item on his finger that he got from the system. He thought of status of item in his mind and the blue transparent screen popping up in the air in front of his face.

"This is not bad.", Murong thought.
The space ring is considered rare at the beginning of the apocalypse and this is even level 5 space ring. I am lucky this time.
He thought of activation of space ring in his mind and all his equipment vanished out of thin air.
Now, let's go home.
After arriving home, he, then having late lunch with Huilong. Pack his things and go back to Zerento city.
