C713 Three boxes
The same goes for the principle of not putting eggs in a basket. The Black Scorpion Man loved money, so many people wished to find the location of the Black Scorpion Man's treasure. But it was impossible for the Black Scorpion Man to keep guarding its own treasures all the time, so under normal circumstances, they would only be able to find two places to hide treasures, but most people could only obtain treasures on the surface.
And what was most worthy of Black Scorpion Man's pride was not the treasures on the surface, because he had always truly cared about the things that were hidden.
What Qin Shaojie saw in front of him were the treasures that the Black Scorpion Man was hiding on the surface. As long as he found this island, he would be able to easily obtain it by breaking the formation on the Black Scorpion Man. If it was an ordinary person seeing these treasures, they would already be excited. After all, these treasures were comparable to the treasury. However, in front of such a powerful Ranker like Qin Shaojie, he was simply useless.
Therefore, in this kind of situation, unless one found a hidden treasure, it would not hold much meaning to Qin Shaojie.
The treasure in the Black Scorpion Man's secret room must be in this space, it was just that almost no one could obtain it. What he occupied was not only the Black Scorpion Man's corpse, but he had also devoured Demon Subduing Workshop's consciousness and obtained his memories. These things were all things that he had obtained from the depths of Shi Zhen's memories.
After hearing those words, Qin Shaojie then let out a sigh of relief. If that was really the case, that would be for the best.
Here it is!
Not long after, Mu Chen excitedly said from an inconspicuous corner. The space in front of him did not seem to be abnormal at all, and there wasn't even the slightest bit of energy fluctuations.
But with extraordinary pointers, Qin Shaojie noticed that the ground was slightly protruding compared to other places, if he did not have any intention to look for it, he was afraid that he would ignore it.
But even so, Qin Shaojie was unable to sense anything from the seemingly uneven ground, and could only look around suspiciously.
Back then, the reason why Shi Zhen failed and even himself was sealed by the Black Scorpion Man was because he did not dare to truly and completely kill the Black Scorpion Man. Because in order to open this secret room, it was not possible simply by relying on his powerful energy and consciousness.
He slowly explained that this secret room was specially made by the Black Scorpion Man, and it could be said that almost all the other Black Scorpion Man s would do the same. Only by doing so could he ensure that the treasures in this secret chamber were not stolen by outsiders.
Fortunately, there was a certain degree of blood flowing through his body that belonged to the Black Scorpion Man, so it was not a difficult task for him.
Drip! Drip!
Fresh blood dripped as it pierced through the tip of his finger. Just like Qin Shaojie, he also placed his gaze on the drop of blood.
After the three drops of blood, a few lines spread out from the seemingly featureless floor. These lines extended for several feet, and then a small hole was opened in the ground. The small hole expanded along the lines. Within a couple of breaths, he saw an empty hole that was large enough to accommodate a person. The interior of the hole was completely dark and he was unable to clearly see what was inside.
Even so, an excitement was revealed in Qin Shaojie's eyes, A cave in a cave! He had never thought that there would be a secret chamber in this space.
After casually taking a few Sea Pellets, Qin Shaojie and Mu Bufan also jumped in!
The two of them borrowed the light emitted by this Sea Pill to carefully observe their surroundings.
The hint coming from this place was much smaller than the outside world. It was only around a hundred feet in size. If there were two more people here, it would be difficult for him to even turn around.
Borrowing the light from the Ocean Pill, Qin Shaojie realized that there wasn't anything special about the hundred meters of space, and it wasn't like the countless treasures that were scattered outside. On the contrary, there were only a few boxes in front of him. Other than that, there was nothing else.
As his gaze landed on the few boxes that were already covered in dust, Qin Shaojie also opened them one by one.
The first box was palm-sized. It was constructed out of wood, and due to the passage of time, cracks had appeared on its surface. One could even faintly see what was inside through those cracks. He opened it carefully. There was only a piece of parchment inside.
To be able to catch Black Scorpion Man's eyes and place it inside, it was definitely not an ordinary item, it was just that the parchment was rather smooth, there was nothing inside. Qin Shaojie touched it with his spirit sense and found that it was just a common parchment, it was completely empty.
Can you find any information about this parchment from your memories? Qin Shaojie handed the parchment over to Mu Yu Die, he could not find anything special about it, he could only let Mu Yu Die try him out.
He did not have any memories regarding this treasure at all. Either his ancient memories had disappeared, or even the Black Scorpion Man himself did not know what this treasure was. Seeing this, Qin Shaojie shook his head and did not care about anything else, and kept the parchment properly.
Since this object was left behind by the Black Scorpion Man, it was likely that he would be able to find some information related to it in the future.
After that, Qin Shaojie fixed his gaze on the second box. The second box wasn't made of wood but stone. It was neat and square, with a few carvings on it. It was clearly much better than the wooden box from before.
Using a little more strength, he directly opened the stone box, and in that moment, a large amount of energy rippled out from within. Under the rippling of this energy, Qin Shaojie and Mu Bufan's hearts sank, and the profound energy in their bodies frantically fluctuated, as they were afraid that this energy contained a terrifying destructive force against them.
Fortunately, the energy was thick and did not directly injure Qin Shaojie, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.
The two of them looked at the stone box at the same time. Inside was a fist-sized elixir, similar to the Sea Pellet they had seen before. However, this Sea Pill was different from the outside world. This was because it was emitting a blood-red color. The energy that fluctuated on it was so dense that one's body could not help but open one's pores to frantically absorb the energy within it.
Qin Shaojie might not be able to perceive it, but at this moment, his own breathing became hurried, because other than the Sea Pellet's powerful energy fluctuations, it also gave off an extremely strong suppressive feeling which faintly flickered within his blood vessels!
Even though he was suppressed by this bloodline, he still felt a sense of fear from within his soul.
This was definitely a powerful sea monster with the power of the primordial bloodline. According to extraordinary calculations, its strength should at least be within the Sky Origin Stage, and only then would it be able to cause such fluctuations to make it so passive!
Looking at his extraordinary appearance, Qin Shaojie's expression changed when he landed on the Sea Pellet. It seemed that this Sea Pellet was more valuable than the hundreds of Sea Pellets outside, but he did not know what kind of sea monster this was.
If you are able to refine this sea pill, you can then use it to refine it.
Closing Shi Hezi, Qin Shaojie instantly became extraordinary. Although it was considered important to him, as long as he could absorb and refine the powerful blood qi contained within, it would be enough to allow Qin Shaojie's body to go up a level or even help him break through dead Profound Realm, but to Qin Shaojie, this thing was most likely more useful to him.
This was not something ordinary people would do, so he carefully kept Shi Hezi away. Although he did not know what kind of powerful Sea Monster's Ocean Core this was, its value was in no way inferior to some Grade 8 pills. Especially for the body of the Black Scorpion Man, he could feel this body's strong desire for the Ocean Core.
Back then, perhaps even the Black Scorpion Man did not expect that before he had the chance to consume it, he would have died in the end.
Qin Shaojie's gaze landed on the jade box at the very bottom.
The three boxes were stacked together, and the jade box was at the bottom. At the same time, it was the largest among the three boxes. The material was even more precious, and the moment Qin Shaojie held the jade box, he could clearly feel a refreshing feeling, even after so much time had passed, there was not even a speck of ashes on the jade box.
The entire jade box was filled with strange runes, these runes were everywhere, and even Qin Shaojie frowned. It was evident that with his knowledge, he had never come into contact with these strange looking runes.
Ancient symbols! These were actually ancient symbols!
It was at this time that the little fellow's voice, which had been completely still within Qin Shaojie's divine sense the entire time, suddenly rang out.
The little guy's standards were very high. Ordinary treasures were simply unable to enter his eyes. Even that bloodline sea pill from before did not seem to arouse his interest. However, the appearance of the symbols on the jade box caused this fellow to be rather shocked.
Archaic symbols, in other words, the symbols of an ancient era. They weren't the runes or symbols of an ancient formation, but rather records.
However, during the archaic era, there were very few people who truly understood how to create symbols. Besides the four great divine beasts, there weren't more than ten races that understood this type of symbol. Moreover, not all of these races understood symbols.
The little guy's voice also became deeper. In her memory, only powerful beings from powerful races possessed the rune.
Generally speaking, if one was able to carve with runes, it meant that the items within must be extremely important, and could even become an important existence within the clan.
The jade box in front of him looked simple and unadorned, but after so many years, it was impossible to tell how extraordinary it was without suffering any damage. Furthermore, the runes engraved on the jade box did not even blur the passage of time. The strength of this person was likely on the level of a Saint or even an expert!
[Can you tell which race they are from?]
His eyes flickered, he never thought that there would be such a thing inside the Black Scorpion Man's jade box. The curiosity in Qin Shaojie's eyes became even stronger.
He couldn't be sure, but he was afraid that opening the jade box wouldn't be that easy. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Black Scorpion Man to not open the box for so long.
It was only under the little fellow's words that Qin Shaojie noticed that the entire jade box was extremely tight. Under the infusion of profound energy, at most, these runes would flash a little. As for the others, there were no changes at all.
Whether it was Qin Shaojie's peak Mysterious Life Stage or his extraordinary peak dead Profound Realm, neither of them caused the jade box to move in the slightest. It was as if the box itself didn't even feel like it was opening.
But the more it was like this, the more Qin Shaojie was sure that there was an extraordinary treasure inside!
