Chapter 181
Funeral Offerings of the Undead, Struck It Rich!_3 Not only that, Cao Xing also tapped on the walls of the secret chamber.
Ji Xinyue’s petite mouth hung slightly open, seemingly surprised by Cao Xing’s actions.
However, Liu Muxue was already accustomed to it and started searching around as well.
Unfortunately, Cao Xing didn’t find any hidden treasure boxes or storage boxes in this secret chamber.
However, Renice had an unexpected find.
She was holding five blackened bags, approached Cao Xing, and respectfully handed them over.
“Lord, these are all the relic bags found in the coffins, please take them.”
Cao Xing’s eyes lit up as he looked at the five bags.
Then, he nodded solemnly, “Alright, Renice, I will take good care of these relic bags.”
He accepted them from Renice, and the system prompt appeared.
[Obtained funerary artifact bag *5, do you want to open them?]
Cao Xing didn’t open them immediately; instead, he turned around, his back to Renice.
Then clicked confirm.
“Yes.”
[Opened successfully.]
[Obtained Brass Ancient Coin *14]
[Obtained Magic Energy Crystal *27]
[Obtained Golden Watch *1]
[Obtained Silver Sword *1]
[Obtained ornate pins *2]
[Obtained Broken Gold Blocks *12]
[Obtained rotting Magic Seed *32]
[Obtained book: Lanton’s Poem]
[Obtained book: Introduction to Herbal Medicine]
…
Looking at this pile of items, a strong feeling of joy appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
The items in the five funerary artifact bags were all different.
But each bag contained two to three brass ancient coins.
Aside from that, the golden watch and silver sword were all crafts.
Their attack power wasn’t high, but they could be sold.
“Wuhu, this feels even better than opening a treasure box!”
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, just got some handsome gains right after entering.”
And just then, Cao Xing suddenly heard the sounds of animals crawling from outside the secret chamber.
Rustle… rustle…
Cao Xing gave a hand signal for everyone to stop.
Even their breathing slowed.
Moments later, waiting for the sound to fade away.
Everyone relaxed once again.
Then continued their search around the secret chamber.
At this time, Liu Muxue was exploring in front of a wall.
She seemed to have discovered something and whispered, “Axing, there seems to be a door here.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing quickly walked over.
Indeed, on this wall, he saw a deeply hidden door that looked no different from the surrounding walls.
However, in the middle, there was a hexagon-shaped depression.
“Axing, going out from here, will we reach the inner part of the underground palace?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Yeah, that undead Carlhan said, leaving this secret chamber will lead to a corridor, and through the corridor, you can reach the four temples and Kasha Cathedral.”
“Now, we need to act quickly.”
After speaking, Cao Xing took out the [Underground Palace Stone Talisman] again and placed it into the groove.
“Creak! Creak!”
A sound of mechanisms turning came.
The wall in front started to slowly rise upward.
And a broader room gradually appeared before Cao Xing and the others.
Then, Cao Xing led his subordinates out.
Once everyone had left the secret chamber, the stone door closed automatically.
“Rumble…”
The stone door behind them lowered back into place, resuming the appearance of a wall, with no flaw detectable even upon close inspection.
At this moment, Cao Xing looked around.
This new room was very spacious, with a height of about five or six meters. It didn’t feel oppressive, even underground.
However, Cao Xing also noticed three deep corridors appearing in various corners of the room.
For a moment, Cao Xing didn’t know which way to go.
Cao Xing said somewhat confused, “Damn, that undead Carlhan didn’t make it clear.”
“This underground palace is so big, which way do we go to open the four temples?”
Everyone else looked equally bewildered.
At this moment, Ji Xinyue softly said, “I… I have a map of the underground palace here…”
Cao Xing’s eyes brightened, and he asked, “A map, where did you get it?”
“A few days ago… an undead gave it to me…”
Ji Xinyue answered cautiously.
Cao Xing nodded, then went over to Ji Xinyue to examine the marks on the map.
Moments later, an enlightened expression appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
“So, this corridor is called the Eternal Hope Corridor, connecting most parts of the underground palace.”
“Going through the left corridor, you can reach the center of this palace, the Eternal Hope Temple.”
Liu Muxue reminded, “Axing, didn’t that undead say, the Eternal Hope Temple has already fallen, and it’s full of Soul-Devouring Monsters?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes, so we can’t take the left corridor; we need to first head for the other two corridors, which connect to the four temples.”
He studied the map and pondered, “The nearest place to us is the Shield Temple, which is the middle corridor.”
With that in mind, Cao Xing made up his mind.
“Let’s go, we’ll take the middle path first.”
Upon saying this, Blom was the first to step into the dim corridor.
The rest followed.
And as Cao Xing passed by the left corridor, he suddenly felt a trembling in his backpack.
“Hmm?”
Cao Xing looked puzzled, he glanced at the items in his backpack.
Then he discovered that the [Devouring Demon Box] bought from Marita was stirring.
The demon sealed inside seemed to sense something and was eager to come out.
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, “The left corridor connects to the Eternal Hope Temple, and behind the temple is Kasha Cathedral, where, according to Carlhan, the Soul-Devouring Demon resides.”
