Roar! Roar!
Roar! Roar! The underground world, which used to be crowded with people, was now silent except for the sound of a chilly wind blowing from an unknown direction. The dark underground cave became eerie.
The underground world could be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Corpses were everywhere. Every tunnel and every cave was filled with the corpses of the Scorpion Men.
Xiao Chen turned a blind eye to these scenes. His figure constantly flickered back and forth in the tunnel.
He was collecting the spoils of war. Weapons, armors, ores, medicinal herbs, and so on were all on his list. Soon, these things had piled up like a mountain.
Looking at the small mountain of weapons and armors, Xiao Chen already had a perfect plan in mind as to how to transport them away.
It turned out that after the Seal of Mountains and Rivers shattered the Scorpion God statue, when it returned to his body, a huge amount of information also appeared in his mind. Because of this, Xiao Chen dared to stay and collect these spoils of war alone.
The general meaning of this information was that a small part of the Heaven's Grotto-Heaven inside the Seal of Mountains and Rivers had been repaired and could be used to store items.
If Shan Kun and the others hadn't come, Xiao Chen would have summoned the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and kissed it hard.
An unknown number of years ago, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers was heavily damaged. The Heaven's Grotto-Heaven opened in the seal was broken by a supreme expert. The space barrier was also shattered and could no longer support the stable operation of the entire Heaven's Grotto-Heaven.
This caused the interior of the space to become extremely unstable and turbulent. No matter what kind of creature entered it, they would be sucked into the turbulent space and fall into endless darkness, never to return.
And it just so happened that inside the Scorpion God statue, there was a piece of Heaven and Earth Cauldron Stone. The broken Heaven's Grotto-Heaven Seal happened to need this item to stabilize the space barrier and stabilize the turbulent space.
The Heavenly Cauldron Stone could be said to be a legendary treasure. Legend has it that powerful beings opened up a space in the space-time turbulence and used it as a place for people to live in. However, such a newly opened space was extremely unstable and needed a treasure to stabilize it to prevent it from collapsing and shattering. The Heavenly Cauldron Stone was one of the treasures that stabilized the space. It had an indomitable power and was a treasure that could only be found by luck.
As for why the statue contained such a treasure, Xiao Chen, who knew the reason, could not help but sigh. He could only lament his luck for killing a monster and obtaining a top-grade material.
"Is this the grotto-heaven space in the Seal of Mountains and Rivers?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen felt his body sway and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at another place.
He could not help but be excited. After all, ever since he found out about the existence of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Chen had been anxiously looking forward to it. Unfortunately, he had not been able to see it for more than half a year.
This time, if he had not accidentally obtained the Heavenly Cauldron Stone by chance, he did not know when he would have been able to see the true appearance of the grotto-heaven world.
Lightly stomping his feet, Zhang Xuan allowed himself to feel that everything was so real. Raising his eyes, he saw that the ground beneath his feet was several hundred zhang in size, and the surroundings were completely dusky. It was dreamy and illusory, and it flickered with a dazzling luster. It was completely empty, and it gave off a desolate and lifeless feeling.
Even though Xiao Chen had been prepared for all this, he could not help feeling disappointed when he saw the desolate scene before him. Then, he smiled self-mockingly, laughing at his insatiable greed. This space was already a great fortuitous encounter.
It was not that there were no storage treasures in this continent. However, every one of them was extremely hard to obtain. At the very least, they were not something that the current Gu Yuan or Xiao Chen could come into contact with. Furthermore, these storage treasures had very small spaces and were extremely unstable inside. They also had various flaws.
How could he not be satisfied with such a treasure? He believed that in the future, he would certainly be able to collect other treasures to repair the grotto-heaven world and restore it to the glory of the ancient times.
He put the collected spoils into the space. The spoils that were originally piled up like a small mountain only occupied a small corner of the grotto-heaven world. Now, only a small part of the grotto-heaven world had been restored. One could imagine how vast and boundless the grotto-heaven world would be.
After collecting the spoils, Xiao Chen did not stop. He did not believe that the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Scorpion Tribe only had this little collection. On the continent, almost all tribes would have a secret vault so that when the tribe declined, they could use it to make a comeback.
"This is the only place that has not been searched." After searching for a while, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the stone room where the Scorpion God statue was.
His eyes flickered with azure light, and two rays of azure light shot out like lightning. He looked around the stone room, as if he wanted to dig three feet into the ground, not letting go of any suspicious situation.
With his Fiery Eyes of Truth, Xiao Chen finally discovered something different. The blood pool in the stone room was not excavated from the shattered space. Instead, it was placed there later. Furthermore, there were traces of movement on the ground, which were faintly discernible.
"Could it be down here?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, but his hands did not stop. He placed the Dark Blood Spear aside and pressed his hands on the blood pool. Following the original imprint, the veins on his arms bulged, and a huge force of tens of thousands of kilograms was added to the blood pool.
"Open!"
Accompanied by a 'kacha' sound, the ten-meter-wide pool of blood was pushed back bit by bit by Xiao Chen's strength, revealing a huge black hole. A flight of stairs appeared, emerging from the darkness.
Following the stairs, Xiao Chen arrived in front of a huge bronze door. Without any hesitation, he used his Battle Qi to break the door.
Swoosh!
What followed next was a panoramic view of the space behind the bronze door. The whole space was filled with treasures, and Xiao Chen could not help but drool.
As expected of the demonic race that had been running rampant for hundreds of years. The resources in their secret vault were unimaginable.
"This is the Starlight Iron used to make low-ranked combat weapons. This is the Black Back Rhinoceros Horn used to make low-ranked combat bows. This is the Bone Strengthening Grass that is five hundred years old. This is the Blood Refined Steel, Crouching Earth Grass, Blood Clotting Vine, One-eyed Red Demon Skin, Poison Horned Python Skin, Steel-backed Wolf Bone, Golden Sword Porcupine Tusk, Golden Nut, Purple Green Grass, Crouching Earth Ganoderma …"
Two hundred years old Blood Mushrooms, collect!
One hundred Demon Breaking Crossbows, collect!
Five hundred low-ranked combat blades, collect!
Three hundred low-ranked spears, collect!
…
"Could this be the Star Pattern Iron used to make mid-ranked combat weapons?"
Right at this moment, an ore the size of a few palms, which was shining with dazzling patterns, entered his sight, causing him to mutter uncertainly.
After confirming it again and again, Xiao Chen finally confirmed that this ore was indeed the mid-ranked Star Pattern Iron. Compared to the low-ranked Starlight Iron, the starlight spots on the Star Pattern Iron had already condensed into thin lines, forming long and thin lines.
At the same time, the Star Pattern Iron was even rarer. Under normal circumstances, a low-ranked Starlight Iron might not even have a single Star Pattern Iron.
Of course, mid-ranked combat weapons were also extremely rare. As for ancient weapons, hehe, there was not even one.
Of course, the grade of the Dark Blood Spear in Xiao Chen's hand was still unknown. Xiao Chen believed that the Dark Blood Spear was not as simple as a low-ranked combat weapon.
Looking at the shining ore, Xiao Chen laughed out loud in his heart. After adding the other materials, this ore could be used to make three mid-ranked combat weapons.
Harvest!
This was a huge harvest!
With these items, the Gu Yuan Tribe's strength had been greatly increased. After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe was only an empty shell now, and the tribe's foundation had been completely destroyed. These items could be said to have solved the Gu Yuan Tribe's urgent need.
With the Gu Yuan Tribe's strength, it would still take them a few years to gather so many equipment and materials. These items could make up for that time.
"What is this?"
Putting away the Astral Patterned Iron, Xiao Chen once again discovered the five purple wooden boxes that were placed in the middle of the wooden shelves. When he opened the first wooden box, he saw a key-shaped piece of bronze quietly lying inside.
After flipping it over and over again, Xiao Chen still couldn't figure out the function of this strange key. So, he simply put it aside and continued to open the other wooden boxes. The remaining four boxes were filled with secret manuals made of beast skin. It seemed like they were obtained by the Scorpion Tribe through the years of killing humans. Without taking a closer look at them, he put the wooden boxes into his storage space.
Killing and arson was the golden belt. At this moment, Xiao Chen was trying to verify the authenticity of this statement. Everything was packed away. Ores, herbs, weapons, armors, and even the original bronze gate were packed away by Xiao Chen. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
"With this batch of resources, I, Gu Yuan Tribe, will be able to make up for my innate deficiency. It seems like I have to thank you, Xie Li."
After sweeping away all the resources in the secret vault, not even a single ore was left, Xiao Chen couldn't help but spit out such words in his heart.
