Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 729 Entering the Treasure Chamber, the Power of Magic!

Brown laughed heartily: "Aha! I didn't expect this strange thing to try to ambush us with a mental attack, only to be immune by the Lady's blessing!"

"Haha! I really didn't expect this to happen."

"Even though the Lady of the Lord's wife isn't with us, her abilities are still protecting us..."

Amidst the joyful discussion, the system notification appeared again.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully activating the 'Silent Demon Balancing Device'!]

[Current progress: 2/9]

……

As Cao Xing's device stabilized completely, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted!

A dazzling blue light burst forth from the center of the 'Silent Magic Balancing Device,' as if activating the entire building.

The next moment, a dazzling beam of energy suddenly shot out from the top of the tower, heading straight upwards.

"Om-!"

The beam of light shot out thousands of meters, piercing through layers of mist.

Then, system notifications sounded one after another.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully activating the 'Silent Demon Balancing Device'!]

[Current progress: 3/9]

【Ding! ...]

In the blink of an eye, all nine towers were activated.

Nine beams of light, each a different color, intertwined in the mist and eventually converged in the same direction.

[Attention, survivor Cao Xing! You have successfully solved the puzzle of the Asura clan's master of statics, Arkad, and found the true coordinates of the treasure...]

[Attribute Bonus: Spirit +2000, Charisma +20]

……

When the notification ended, Cao Xing immediately noticed a golden 'treasure' icon light up on the minimap.

The coordinates are clearly displayed on the treasure map.

[Treasure Location: Outskirts of the Lost Royal City, 8844, 15245, 16245]

……

He pressed the communicator to his ear and excitedly announced, "Attention everyone! Through everyone's combined efforts, we have finally found the location of the treasure!"

"Now, everyone, immediately proceed to the designated coordinates and assemble!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

A unified response came from the communicator, and everyone seemed very excited!
The nine teams immediately changed direction, left the tower, and headed towards the coordinates.

They couldn't wait to find out what was inside this treasure!

...

...

About ten minutes later.

The group reunited.

Surrounded by mist, a vast open area of ​​about two or three kilometers in diameter suddenly appeared before us.

Before them, a large metal door, hidden underground, was wide open.

The heavy door panels had slid open to the sides, revealing the dark entrance.

"Looks like this is the place..." Cao Xing said in a low voice.

Others also peered inside curiously.

Elisa, that girl, lay down on the ground, sticking her head out.

Although they were all very curious about what was inside.

But without the lord's order, no one would go down without permission.

At this moment, Cao Xing was squinting, examining the bottomless entrance.

Although the location of the treasure has been found, he still does not make any rash moves.

After all, given the nature of Alkad, the alchemist who set up the 'Triple Echo Test', there's likely some deadly trap or mechanism hidden inside.

He didn't want to rush in with everyone and then be buried alive underground.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said in a deep voice, "Sarah, go in first and scout ahead."

“Yes!” Sarah replied respectfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Phantom Dancer vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint shadowy aura.

The crowd stood quietly at the entrance, waiting.

They weren't worried about Sarah's strength and reaction speed.

After all, there was no one in the entire territory more suitable than her to carry out this kind of mission.

A few moments later, several notifications appeared in front of Cao Xing.

[Your territory member, Sarah Blade Dance, triggered a trap, but has successfully dodged it.]

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has discovered the underground chamber]

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has killed 12 Wraith Guardians, gaining 408 million experience points (Pale Guidance + Savior Star)]

……

Cao Xing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Just as he had anticipated, it was not safe down there.

Not only were there numerous traps set up, but there were also some vengeful spirits.

Of course, these obstacles had absolutely no effect on Sarah.

Cao Xing continued to wait with the others.

About ten minutes later, a shadow appeared, which transformed into a slender figure.

It was the legendary assassin, Sarah Blade Dance.

She quickly approached Cao Xing and respectfully reported:
"My lord, we've already scouted it out. There's a passage below, and there are many traps on both sides of the passage."

"However, I have already dismantled those traps."

"Following down the passage, you will arrive at a strange secret room. There are many strange stone platforms around it, and a large metal door on the wall."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However... my exploration ends here."

"Because the metal door on the wall is closed, you need to enter a password to open it."

"Although I could break through with brute force, I was worried that forcibly breaking through the gate would cause a chain reaction, so I turned back for the time being."

After listening to Sarah's account, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

"A strange stone platform, and a metal door with a password..."

"The secret room below is indeed a bit strange."

He nodded and said, "Sarah, your decision is correct."

"Let's go down and take another look."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

After saying this, the assassin stepped aside.

Cao Xing turned around and faced the group, saying, "Next, some of the members will accompany me to explore this secret chamber."

“Big White, Jord, and Kane Burrows…you big guys stay outside and guard the entrance.”

"Then wait for our news."

Giant Jod and the minotaur chieftain exchanged a glance and said, "Yes, sir, we will guard the entrance and not let anything in."

"That's right! Not even a fly can get in!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, he led the group into the passage.

As Sarah said, it was a dangerous passage filled with all sorts of traps.

Many destroyed traps can still be seen on the walls on both sides, and piles of white powder are scattered on the ground.

Clearly, these are traces left by the vengeful spirits that Sarah dealt with.

"Tap tap... tap tap..."

The group remained silent as they made their way up the stone steps of the passage.

The only sounds around them were their breathing and footsteps.

After walking about two or three hundred meters along the dark passage, the group finally reached the end of the passage.

A faint, dark blue light emanated from ahead, seemingly coming from a room.

That must be the 'strange secret room' Sarah mentioned.

Cao Xing was the first to step into the light, and the scene before him suddenly opened up.

Before everyone appeared a metal chamber that was about two or three hundred meters long.

The entire room has a circular structure and is made of some kind of special alloy. The walls have a metallic sheen, clearly using the same material as the buildings outside.

Most notably, nine metal bases, each over a meter tall, are evenly distributed along the edge of this circular chamber.

Each metal base is engraved with intricate alchemical runes.

On top of it, there was an ancient jar.

Not only Cao Xing, but everyone's attention was instantly drawn to these jars!
There are nine metal bases here, in other words, there are nine jars here!
Six of the silver cans gleamed with a cold metallic luster, while the two gold cans radiated a dazzling golden light.

On the central stone platform, there stood a solitary, pitch-black jar.

Seeing this, Cao Xing hadn't even spoken yet.

Elisa, standing nearby, exclaimed in delight, "Wow! So many jars! There are even gold and black jars!"

"Great! Captain Elisa has so many more jars to smash!"

Even Bai Zhi and Lord Oran, who were following behind, stared at this scene in disbelief.

"Gods above... This is the first time I've ever seen so many jars appear at once..."

At this moment, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face. "Very good, there are nine more jars here."

"That brings the total number of jars we've collected from the ruins to over 20!"

Moreover, this is only what was gained from the outer secret room.

The real treasure is hidden behind that metal door.

With a look of delight, Cao Xing was about to devour all the jars.

However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

And with a suspicious look on his face, he glanced around.

Bai Zhi's cool voice came through: "What's wrong?"

Cao Xing shook his head. "I feel like something's not right."

"Something's not right? Where?" Bai Zhi asked, a hint of confusion on her face.

Cao Xing did not answer, but instead looked at the metal door in front of him and then at the nine metal bases around him.

"Besides these metal bases and that metal door with the password, there's nothing else in this secret room."

"Without the password, we can't open the door."

"Given this alchemist's nature, he might have hidden the clues to the code on these metal bases."

"If I rashly take the jar on top, I may never have another chance to get the password."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Although Cao Xing's guess sounds a bit exaggerated.

But based on past experiences, this is indeed a very possible thing!

After all, they encountered many similar trap designs when activating those nine 'Silent Demon Balancing Devices'.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing did not act rashly. Instead, he pressed the communication device on his ear and said, "Xiao Chuchu, bring down two Demon Elephants."

"Okay, big brother," Tong Chuchu's clear voice rang out.

A short while later, a petite figure entered the secret chamber, carrying two enormous golems.

"Big brother, we've arrived," Tong Chuchu said, looking around curiously.

Cao Xing nodded, his gaze falling on the two demonic elephants.

"Iron One, Iron Two, come and take a look at this metal door. Do you have any way to break it?"

Two golems strode heavily to the gate, their electronic eyes flashing red as they scanned for a moment.

"Master... this is a highly confidential area of ​​the Static Power Academy. We do not have the authority to access it..."

The mechanical sound carried a clear sense of restriction.

Cao Xing sighed softly; it seemed he would have to find another way.

He slowly approached one of the metal bases.

As he approached, the metal base suddenly glowed with a ghostly blue light.

A complex set of alchemical equations and geometric figures emerged.

"Is this... asking me to solve a problem?"

Cao Xing frowned slightly as he carefully examined the information displayed on the base.

As he tried to approach another metal base, a large amount of information appeared before his eyes again.

Static Equilibrium Equations

[ΣF_x=0]
[ΣF_y=0]
[ΣM=0]
【Known conditions】

[1: The mass of the silver pot is m = 6.7 kg]
[2: The mass of the gold can is m = 11.3 kg]
[3: Mass of the black can: m = ?]
[4: Base spacing: L=3.14m]
[5: The current system is in perfect balance]
[Question: Find the mass m of the black jar (accurate to two decimal places)]

……

This was clearly another test meticulously designed by the alchemist and statics master.

However, looking at the dense numbers and complex equations in front of him, Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

"Damn it, if you want me to solve this, you might as well just kill me."

He couldn't help but curse under his breath: "That Alcard is a real scoundrel!"

"If you don't want future generations to unlock your treasure, just say so. Why set up so many difficulties?"

After pacing around in frustration for a while, a sudden inspiration flashed through Cao Xing's mind!
He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn it, if I had something like the Dark Crystal Ball, why would I bother solving this equation?"

"I can just open a portal and go in."

"Once we get what's inside, we can come out and collect the jars outside, isn't that the same thing?"

With this in mind, Cao Xing immediately took action.

He strode to the metal door and took the dark crystal ball out of his backpack.

The crystal ball emitted a dim light in his hand.

Then, Cao Xing began chanting the incantation that the old witch had given him...

As he continued chanting, a dense, dark power suddenly surged from the crystal ball.

These energies writhed in the air like living things, gradually condensing into an elliptical door frame shape.

"Om..."

A surge of energy emerged.

A black portal with a surface rippling like water has fully formed!

"It's done!"

Cao Xing's lips curled into a smug smile: "Solving the equation is impossible, I will never try to solve it in my lifetime."

"The power of magic suits me better."

The others on the field also stared in astonishment at the black portal before them.

It seems unexpected that Cao Xing had this way of solving problems.

"Great! That means we don't need to solve the problem anymore!" Tong Chuchu said happily.

Since the portal only lasts for 60 seconds, Cao Xing needs to act quickly.

So he turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go, let's hurry and go in together."

The others nodded in agreement and then crowded closer.

At the same time, Cao Xing was the first to step into the teleportation portal.

The next moment, that dizzying sensation returned.

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted and folded, and everything in sight became a blurry patch of color and light.

Fortunately, it was a short-distance portal, so the scene change didn't last long.

Soon, Cao Xing's figure emerged from the other end of the teleportation portal.

When he slowly opened his eyes, the sight before him made him gasp for breath!
A magnificent circular hall appeared before him.

The surrounding walls were carved with a large number of magical runes, and the center of these runes was inlaid with a large number of blue crystals, making the entire space look like a starry sky.

A huge polyhedral device floats in the center of the hall, slowly rotating and emitting gentle energy fluctuations.

[You have discovered a special area: Alcard's Laboratory]

This is a special hidden area. Exploration experience gained: 50; Reputation points gained: 2.

……

The system notification had barely flashed when the portal behind him began to reveal the figures of his other teammates.

Sarah was the first to land. She quickly regained her balance and cautiously looked around.

Then came Angelica dahurica, Assam, Bojie, and others.

As soon as they appeared, they also assumed a fighting stance.

However, everyone was soon amazed by the beauty and splendor of the hall and relaxed their guard.

Elisa looked up, her face full of surprise, and exclaimed, "Wow...what a beautiful hall..."

“This place… contains such powerful magical energy fluctuations…” Isabel’s voice rang out.

"magic?"

"Yes."

Isabel said slowly, "Each of these glowing crystals contains amazing magical fluctuations and provides energy for the operation of this hall."

Elisa nodded in realization: "I see..."

At this point, she encountered a new problem.

She pointed to the glowing geometric shape in the middle of the hall and asked, "Sister Isabel, what is this strange thing?"

Upon hearing this question, the Sage of Holy Light examined him for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "I've never seen it either..."

"Ok."

However, while everyone was still marveling at the splendor of the hall, Cao Xing was still shocked by the system notification that had just flashed by.

"Holy crap! A full 20,000 reputation points, am I seeing things?"

He murmured to himself, his voice filled with intense disbelief.

It's worth noting that even though Cao Xing had previously discovered areas like Yongshuang Main City and Linglan Main City, he only gained a little over a hundred reputation points.

And now, he has given a full 20,000 just for discovering this laboratory!

What does this mean?
This indicates that this area is extremely important, and there might be some incredible treasures inside!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

He then immediately ordered, "Everyone, begin searching the entire hall now, don't miss a single corner!"

"No problem, my lord!" came the unanimous reply.

Soon, everyone began to move around in the spacious hall.

Not long after the search began, Sarah's report was heard.

"My lord, I have found a large black loot chest here. It looks similar to the one we opened in that large building last time."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's heart skipped a beat!
You know, the loot box they opened in that big building last time yielded a legendary relic!
Could this treasure chest also be of this level?
Suddenly, anticipation filled my heart!

Before he could even go over and check...

Elisa's excited shouts came from the other end of the hall: "My lord! My lord! I've found a big box here too!"
