Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Novel - Chapter 217
Chapter 217: Chapter 217: My Eyes Have Been Blinded!
Looking at the black hole that appeared at his right foot, Ren Qi’s face revealed a strange expression.
He did not expect that he would actually find an entrance.
He had just moved the statue because he was lucky enough to think of it. He did not expect that he would actually find an entrance.
Even though he didn’t know where this entrance led to.
When Zhao Yuheng and the others saw this, a strange look appeared in their eyes.
“Could this be the entrance to the secret treasure? Not bad, Ren Qi. Your luck is really not bad.”
Tian Jizi came to Ren Qi’s side, looked at the dark cave entrance, and said slowly.
Hearing Tian Jizi’s words, Ren Qi’s eyes flickered.
Luck?
It really wasn’t luck.
He seemed to have a feeling that something would happen if he moved the sculpture on top of it.
It should be related to the images and memories that kept flashing in his mind, but he didn’t know what kind of relationship there was between the two.
“No matter what, Let’s go in and investigate,” Zhao Yuheng looked at the dark cave entrance and said to the people beside her.
Li Tianlan and the others nodded when they heard her, indicating that they agreed with Zhao Yuheng’s words.
Ren Qi also nodded. Following which, Xuan Ming first allowed his mechanical troops to enter the cave entrance to investigate if there was any danger inside.
Soon, Xuan Ming received the feedback from his troops. There were no abnormalities in the cave entrance below.
…
Xuan Ming nodded at Ren Qi and the others. “There’s no problem in there. At least there’s no danger. You can go in directly.”
Ren Qi and Zhao Yuheng looked at each other. Then, they let their troops go in first. Then, they followed closely behind and entered the cave entrance.
Since they did not know how much space was in the cave entrance, Ren Qi and the others only brought their top-tier combat strength.
Apart from Elise, the four superior succubi, the Dark Elf Queen and Zhao Yuheng’s two half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenixes were all the troops they brought in.
Li Tianlan and the others did not bring any troops down. Instead, they let them stay on top to observe the situation.
After entering the cave, flames rose up in front of them, illuminating the surroundings.
This was a very large cave with a stone staircase surrounding it, forming a spiral stone staircase.
Walking down the stone staircase, they reached the bottom.
The path was extremely narrow…
After reaching the bottom, the space gradually became more spacious.
The place became even quieter, as if time and space had stopped here.
It was so quiet that it made people panic. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard from all around.
“I say, this place is a little scary. Should we talk or chat or something?” Tian Jizi looked at his surroundings and frowned slightly.
Zhao Yuheng looked at him and said, “Don’t tell me that you’re afraid now.”
Tian Jizi glared at her. “How is that possible? I just saw that everyone was a little embarrassed, so I wanted to talk to ease the awkwardness. Really, how can I be afraid?”
Everyone glanced at him and did not say anything.
There was no awkwardness earlier, but now it seemed to have become very awkward.
Ren Qi looked at his surroundings as he descended.
Half a minute after entering, Ren Qi saw that the surrounding walls were carved with pictures.
These pictures were all carved by some sharp weapon. Then, they were covered with a layer of yellow metal.
These pictures were very strange and exaggerated.
Moreover, the pictures were connected to one another as they meandered down step by step. The scenes on them seemed to be telling a story.
The first picture was of a vast and majestic temple. A huge distorted creature was sitting on the divine seat in the main hall as if it was covered in gold.
Below it was a handsome man with wings on his back.
Fallen angel!
This person’s image was exactly the same as the fallen angel’s.
This fallen angel looked at the figure on the divine seat with a cold expression.
The second picture showed the temple being destroyed. The distorted creature on the throne angrily attacked the fallen angel.
The third showed the fallen angel running away from the temple.
The fourth showed many golden distorted creatures charging at the fallen angel, their bodies of all shapes and sizes.
In the fifth picture…
All the pictures seemed to show that the fallen angel had angered the distorted creature on the divine throne of the temple, so it had faced the pursuit of so many distorted golden creatures.
Looking at these scenes, some memories flashed through Ren Qi’s mind. They seemed to be very similar to the contents of these pictures.
However, these pictures stopped abruptly after the fallen angel was attacked and stabbed. They completely disappeared.
Ren Qi did not know what these were, but he felt that they were somehow related to him.
Zhao Yuheng and the others were not attracted by the scene on the surrounding walls.
Although they saw them, they were only murals on the wall. They did not pay much attention to it.
About twenty minutes later, Ren Qi and the others didn’t know how far they had walked down. Xuan Ming raised his head and said, “We have reached the bottom!”
Xuan Ming’s machines had been scouting the situation at the front. When they heard Xuan Ming’s words, the eyes of the people around them flickered slightly.
Although there was a hint of excitement on their faces, they didn’t show it too much.
After all, what if they had not reached the location of the secret treasure? What if there was no secret treasure?
With a perturbed mood, Ren Qi and the others quickly went down. They quickly walked down the spiral stone stairs and arrived in a large space.
This place was a stone room. The surrounding environment was very clean.
The surroundings were completely pitch-black walls. They were very flat, but they also emitted an aura.
“It’s the aura of the dark element!” The Dark Elf Queen looked at the surrounding walls and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Dark Elf Queen was of the dark element. After she entered the half-step Saint-tier, her perception of the dark element became even sharper. She immediately sensed the power of the dark element.
Hearing the Dark Elf Queen’s words, Zhao Yuheng and the others became alert. After all, no one knew if there would be other dangers here.
This stone room was very large, and the two undying blood phoenixes could move around inside.
However, when Ren Qi thought about how the two undying blood phoenixes had shrunk their bodies when they came in, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
Even if the space in this stone room wasn’t very large, it was enough for the undying blood phoenixes to move around inside.
At this moment, Xuan Ming pointed to the front and said, “My mechanical troops have detected a door in front of us. Perhaps the secret treasure is past that door.”
Ren Qi and the others followed Xuan Ming’s gaze and directly saw a huge stone door standing in front of the stone room.
The few mechanical troops that Xuan Ming had let in to investigate earlier were also quietly observing the stone door.
Ren Qi and the others came before the stone door and looked at each other.
After that, their gazes landed on Ren Qi.
After what had happened just now, Ren Qi seemed to have an inexplicable feeling towards this place. Everyone was waiting for Ren Qi to speak first.
Ren Qi looked at the stone door in front of him. That familiar feeling once again surfaced in his mind, but he still could not think of what it was.
After that, he looked at Zhao Yuheng and the others around him and said, “We still don’t know if there is any danger behind this stone door. We should be more careful.”
The people around him nodded when they heard this. After that, they took a few steps back. Then, Xuan Ming’s mechanical soldiers opened the stone door in front of them.
Crack!
As the mechanical soldiers joined forces, the huge stone door in front of them let out a muffled sound. Then, it slowly opened.
Following the opening of the stone door, streams of fire light emitted by the Undying Blood Phoenix entered the stone door in front of them.
Soon after, these lights seemed to have been refracted by something. They emitted a crystal clear light before they were refracted again.
Ren Qi and the others were directly stunned when they saw the scene behind the stone door in front of them!
Magic crystals!
A large number of magic crystals!
After the huge stone door was opened, the first thing that entered Ren Qi and the others’ eyes was the large number of magic crystals in front of them!
The light that the undying blood phoenix shone on fell into these magic crystals. After that, it was refracted and emitted a dazzling glow.
It blinded their eyes!
This sentence could completely describe the feelings of Ren Qi and the others.
There were an extremely large number of magic crystals in front of them. There were around ten thousand of them. They had directly piled up into a small mountain.
These were not energy crystals!
Instead, they were magic crystals!
A large number of weapons and armors were piled up beside these magic crystals. At a glance, the quality of these weapons and armors seemed to be extremely good. They were definitely not ordinary items.
“Secret trove! We have found the secret trove!” Tian Jizi looked at the scene in front of him and said with an excited expression.
The eyes of Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng, and the others also flickered as a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.
With so many magic crystals, it was enough to prove that this was the location of the secret treasures.
“Xuan Ming! Let your mechanical soldiers go in and see if there is any danger,” Ren Qi said to Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming nodded and then ordered the mechanical soldiers who had opened the door to go in.
After checking around, Xuan Ming’s mechanical soldiers came out. Then, Xuan Ming looked at Ren Qi and said, “There’s no danger. It’s very quiet inside.”
Ren Qi nodded and then walked in with Zhao Yuheng and the others.
After entering the stone door in front, Ren Qi and the others were shocked again!
They had only seen a corner of the scene through the stone door just now. After entering, Ren Qi and the others saw the entire scene inside.
This was also a stone room. It wasn’t too big compared to the stone room just now. It should be half the size.
In this stone room, there were all kinds of resources piled up densely.
Weapons, armors, a large number of magic crystals, mithril, and all kinds of rare materials, as well as energy crystals that occupied half the space of the stone room…
Most importantly, there was the innermost area of the stone chamber.
Compared to the other crowded areas, that area was a little quiet. There were only a few crystals placed on the empty ground.
However, Ren Qi and the others’ gazes instantly fell onto these crystals.
Holy Stones!
There were a total of eight Holy Stones quietly placed on the ground in front of them.
Each Holy Stone was very big, and they should all be Pure Holy Stones!
Compared to the eight Holy Stones, the small mountain of magic crystals just now did not seem as shocking as before!
“A secret treasure trove! It really is a secret treasure trove!” Even Xuan Ming, who was more composed than Tian Jizi, couldn’t hide the excitement on his face.
The things in front of him could prove that this was the secret treasure trove they were looking for, right?
He was not only excited because the items in the secret treasure were very bountiful, but also because he was happy that the coordinates were correct.
Previously, Xuan Ming was still a little nervous.
After all, even though the aristocratic families had calculated the coordinates of the secret treasure trove for a hundred years, no one knew if the coordinates were real or not.
If there was something fishy going on, it would not just be a failure.
It also meant that the coordinates calculated by the aristocratic families were very likely wrong.
If that was the case, it wouldn’t be an easy task to obtain the secret treasures again.
“Looks like the location of the secret treasure trove that we know is correct. If that’s the case, then the other secret treasure troves’ locations should be correct as well.” Zhao Yuheng looked at the scene in front of her as her eyes flickered.
If the secret treasure trove’s locatio here was correct, the other troves could be explored.
Just the secret treasure trove in front of them already possessed so many resources. If they were able to find the other secret treasure troves, what kind of great wealth would they possess?
Moreover, the current strength of their group was very powerful. It was sufficient to deal with the subsequent exploration of the secret treasure troves.
When she thought of this, even Zhao Yuheng, who had always been calm and collected, could not help but feel a little excited in her heart.
However, this was something that would be discussed in the future.
“Let’s move all these things out first. Let’s take an inventory of the resources here,” Zhao Yuheng looked at Ren Qi and said.
Ren Qi also nodded when he heard this. After which, he got Elise and the rest as well as Xuan Ming’s mechanical soldiers to start moving these resources out.
Xuan Ming also instructed one of the mechanical soldiers to go up and bring more mechanical soldiers down.
In terms of moving things, the mechanical soldiers were better at it.
As a large number of mechanical soldiers came down, the things in the stone room were quickly moved out. Then, they were transported up.
Ren Qi and the rest’s gazes fell on the eight Holy Stones in front of them.
The few of them came to the front of the Holy Stones and quickly checked the attributes of the eight Holy Stones.
The attributes of the eight Holy Stones were not the same. Among them, two were dark-type, one was fire-type, three were thunder-type, and the remaining two were mechanical-type and light-type respectively.
Everyone’s gazes fell on Li Tianlan.
Three Thunder Holy Stones. This girl was lucky!
