Chapter 46: Treasure Hunting
“Holy crap, I’m rich, I’m rich!”
This Ancient City had way too many Treasures. Even the Strange Metal on the ground was everywhere. Ling Mo couldn’t pick it all up.
The Small Pot’s space was stuffed full. Ling Mo regretted it to death. If he had known, he wouldn’t have given that Bell to Xiao Wu. Otherwise, he could have stored a few more Stones now.
He looked reluctantly at the Strange Metal all over the ground. Regardless of quality, Ling Mo collected it all.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that on the stone wall of the Ancient City, under a layer of dust covered by wind and sand, several strange Green Stone Bricks appeared.
“What a strange Stone. It seems to contain some kind of strange Power…”
Ling Mo was puzzled and tried to probe the power of the Green Stone Brick. But unexpectedly, the moment he made contact, his brain felt emptied as if by someone, and he instantly felt like fainting.
Fortunately, Ling Mo stopped in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
These Stones definitely held a big Secret! Perhaps there was some kind of magical Law Power hidden inside.
“Dig them out first and research them slowly later…”
Having made a Decision in his heart, Ling Mo tried to dig out the Green Stone Brick! This wasn’t a place for Research. The area was filled with dangerous Auras everywhere. It was better to dig it out first and take it back for Research.
“Damn it, why is this Stone so hard…”
He swung the Shovel in his hand with all his might, using every ounce of strength like sucking Beast Milk, but Ling Mo still couldn’t pry loose that Green Stone Brick.
It was just too hard, completely embedded in the soil layer. No matter how hard Ling Mo tried, it didn’t budge an inch!
It was more like it was Imprisoned by some kind of Power, impossible to dig out! Perhaps Ling Mo’s current Power wasn’t enough; otherwise, he should have been able to force it loose.
At this time, that Handsome Guy who drank Beast Milk appeared again. He gave him a disappointed look. “Sigh, no future!”
After saying that, he broke two Green Stone Bricks with his bare hands, just like that brat digging Stones in the Illusory God Realm back then.
“Damn it! What kind of Stone is this? So hard.”
Ling Mo was completely despaired. He tried all kinds of methods but couldn’t budge the Green Stone Brick under his feet. After a few attempts, he gave up disappointedly.
There was a lot of Strange Metal here, but this Green Stone Brick was the most special! Ling Mo had wanted to dig a few to Research back home, but found he couldn’t dig them out at all.
“Why do I feel like someone is Ridiculing me?”
He looked around left and right, but found no one nearby. Ling Mo felt a chill in his heart, always sensing a brat beside him constantly Ridiculing him!
See ghosts! This feeling had persisted since he arrived in this World!
Ever since awakening Dual Pupils, this feeling had always existed. That Handsome Guy drinking Beast Milk had appeared multiple times in his dreams.
His heart felt hairy. This Ancient City was too eerie. Ling Mo tried again to dig out the Green Stone Brick but gave up after several failures.
However, there was quite a bit of Strange Metal along the way. Without a doubt, all this Strange Metal went into Ling Mo’s Small Pot.
“These Weapons look like good quality, but unfortunately on Douluo Continent, basically everyone uses Martial Souls and hardly uses Weapons! They probably won’t sell, right?”
Looking at the Treasures all over the ground, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel regretful and didn’t take them!
Because he felt that these Weapons wouldn’t sell at all on Douluo Continent! Moreover… the Small Pot was already full of Strange Metal, no space to take these Things.
If he knew how powerful these Weapons were, he would regret it terribly!
These were top-quality Treasure Artifacts left over from an ancient Battlefield, able to exist for so long with more or less some wondrous Effects.
Unfortunately, Ling Mo couldn’t appreciate them, so he didn’t take them!
Walking over the Ruins of Jing Jue Ancient City, Ling Mo discovered that most of the Materials used for the stone walls here were cast from Strange Metal, extremely precious Materials.
From every aspect of Research, this was more like a lost Imperial City. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago, it had also been glorious.
But now it had fallen! Buried Underground, never seeing the light of day.
Those two unscrupulous guys from earlier were already gone. Ling Mo had wanted to find them and get revenge for what happened before.
But Jing Jue Ancient City was just too big. Going around in circles, Ling Mo couldn’t sense their Auras at all.
“Hm? Wait, there’s something ahead…”
Just as he was preparing to leave this Ruins, Ling Mo suddenly noticed a faint energy Aura coming from a Drum Tower ahead.
The tense atmosphere instantly solidified. Ling Mo was fully on guard with all his Spirit, extremely cautious.
This place was very dangerous. Just those two earlier—if they had Killing Intent toward him, he would probably be gone by now.
To avoid such things happening again, Ling Mo didn’t dare relax even a little.
Dual Pupils fully opened, exploring that faint Aura ahead, he suddenly discovered… this Aura was the same as the one he had sensed a few months ago.
That’s right! A few months ago, Ling Mo had wanted to steal the Five-Colored Emperor Flower by the Lake of Life in Star Dou Great Forest but failed.
When he was preparing to leave, he had sensed this Aura. Based on his years of Experience, he judged that there must be Treasure below the Lake of Life.
But he feared being discovered by the two Giant Beasts living in the lake and didn’t rashly enter the Tomb. Unexpectedly, this time by chance, he stumbled into here.
“Could those two have been attracted by this Aura too? No… they seemed more interested in some Immortal Medicines with life Aura.”
Earlier, on the Gobi Desert, there were many bizarre Immortal Medicines. Ling Mo had noticed them before passing out.
But when he woke up, those Immortal Medicines had been dug up! It looked like those two did it.
Why did those two only dig Immortal Medicines? This puzzled Ling Mo greatly. Logically, this Ancient City was full of Treasures everywhere, but they only dug Immortal Medicines.
If it was just for Immortal Medicines, there were plenty of wild ones above Star Dou Great Forest! Why come to such a eerie underground depth?
He really couldn’t figure it out, and those two had no trace now. Even if he wanted to ask, he couldn’t.
“What a strange Aura!”
Sensing danger approaching, the closer Ling Mo got to that Drum Tower, the stronger the Sense of Crisis.
He had paid Attention to this Aura for months. Today, no matter what, he had to figure out its Origin.
Suddenly… just as Ling Mo approached, a corpse charged out from the Darkness depths, wearing Armor and wielding a Heavy Sword.
It slashed fiercely at Ling Mo with immense Power, directly sending him flying with one Sword!
“Holy crap, what Thing? A jumping corpse?”
In an instant, Ling Mo was completely stunned! He saw a figure in the Darkness becoming clearer.
It was a corpse in Armor. Its body had rotted to just a skeleton, but its Aura remained undiminished, with formidable Strength.
Just that casual Sword earlier had sent Ling Mo flying dozens of meters.
“Can even a dead person be this strong?” Ling Mo was very puzzled. After years of Grave Robbery, he had seen all kinds of bizarre things.
But he had never seen a corpse dead for who knows how many years still possessing such formidable Strength.
It seemed to have no Killing Intent. It only counterattacked passively because Ling Mo approached the Drum Tower, not initiating an attack.
After figuring out its Origin, Ling Mo decided not to approach the Drum Tower and instead study this corpse’s characteristics carefully.
Unexpectedly, just as Ling Mo activated Dual Pupils to steal its information, that guy seemed to sense the Dual Pupils’ Aura and charged over fiercely.
“Holy crap…”
This time, it nearly scared Ling Mo half to death! That guy had left the Drum Tower and was charging at Ling Mo.
It seemed to have some special sensitivity to Dual Pupils. When Ling Mo wasn’t using Dual Pupils, it didn’t attack proactively, but once he did, it went completely berserk.
