I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Zhang Yuan found himself in a huge corridor.

The height and width of this corridor are both about three meters, so it appears very spacious and is large enough for two carriages to run side by side.

The walls, ceiling and floor of the corridor are all paved with thick rock slabs. The traces of splicing can be clearly seen, but each slab has been polished very smoothly and vivid murals are engraved on the surface.

On the left and right walls of the corridor, there is an ancient stone wall lamp set at regular intervals. Flames are burning in the lamps, and the bright light illuminates the long passage in every detail.

Ancient city underground palace?

Zhang Yuan realized that he had most likely found the real treasure spot by accident.

Or to be more precise, it is the area where the treasure is located!

The next moment, he heard a familiar friction sound and instinctively looked up.

I saw giant sandworms crisscrossing the top of the tunnel that was previously blasted by Zhang Yuan. Their ochre-colored shells slid across the stone slabs, which was creepy to look at.

But no matter how frenzied and angry these sandworms were, none of them dared to come in through the cave entrance.

Apparently, there is something in this corridor or in the underground palace of the ancient city that makes them extremely afraid, and they dare not step beyond the limit!
Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the wall of the corridor.

The murals carved on it depict scenes of princes, nobles, knights and warriors waging wars, hunting wild animals, feasting and having fun, etc., and the scenes are portrayed in great detail.

As Zhang Yuan walked forward, the content of the murals he saw became increasingly rich.

It made him feel as if he was walking in a time tunnel, as if he had traveled back to the ancient dynasty and experienced the latter's former prosperity and glory.

It was not until a rustling sound brought Zhang Yuan back to his senses!

I saw a large number of black beetles appearing in the corridor ahead at some point.

Each beetle was as big as an adult's fist. They had shiny black shells and curved, sharp fangs. They seemed to have smelled Zhang Yuan's scent and were rapidly approaching him in a dark mass.

Zhang Yuan sensed the danger posed by these beetles.

Although they are small in size, there are so many of them that they keep coming one after another and completely cover the ground. They even wrap themselves into balls, forming a huge force.

It also carries a strong malicious intent!

This malice originating from the swarm consciousness came towards Zhang Yuan like invisible spikes!

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to slap out a powerful palm wind.

The next moment, the black beetle in the front was blown away by his palm force and fell to the back with a crackling sound.

But the beetles behind ignored it and continued to rush towards Zhang Yuan.

The beetles that were slapped away shook their heads after falling to the ground, and continued to advance forward with the main force.

It doesn't look like he suffered much damage!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan knew that it was obviously impossible to deal with these beetles using conventional means.

Fortunately, he was well prepared.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed a pottery jar from the storage space, then suddenly threw it forward.

Snapped!
The clay pot fell heavily among the beetles, instantly breaking into pieces and bursting, with the liquid inside gushing out.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Yuan flicked his fingers and released a bit of Qianyang Fire stimulated by the Hunyuan true power.

Right in the middle of the broken pottery jar.

boom!
The blazing flames instantly shot up into the sky, covering a large area around.

The pottery jar that Zhang Yuan just threw out was filled with the fierce fire oil produced by Shang Jingtian!

This kind of fierce fire oil is said to be made from the fat of some kind of animal, mixed with a large amount of medicinal powder. Not only does it burn extremely fiercely, but it also has the properties of Qianyang fire, which can restrain strange monsters.

In many cases, it is more useful than ordinary talismans, so it is included in the exchange catalog of the Merit Hall.

Zhang Yuan had seen this in the catalog before, so he exchanged some items and stored them in his storage space. Today, they came in handy.

Zhizhizhi~
As the flaming oil was ignited, a large number of black beetles were instantly caught in the sea of ​​​​fire. They couldn't help but make sharp hissing sounds, and then exploded one by one.

Apparently, flaming oil is the nemesis of this beetle!

Seeing the effect, Zhang Yuan threw out the second and third cans without hesitation...

He smashed five cans in one breath!
Due to the different throwing positions, a long section of the corridor was turned into purgatory, and the burning effect was very outstanding.

A few beetles rushed out of the sea of ​​fire frantically, but were slapped back by Zhang Yuan from a distance.

A burnt smell soon filled the air, and thousands of black beetles were burned to ashes.

Some beetles managed to escape by chance, but they did not dare to continue rushing towards Zhang Yuan and instead hid in the cracks in the corners of the wall.

Gone in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Yuan waited until the kerosene burned out before continuing to move forward along the corridor.

He compared the treasure map and chose the right direction.

Zhang Yuan walked like this until the end without encountering any more accidents.

An arched stone door blocked his way.

Two rock pillars with animal patterns stand on both sides of the stone gate, and two statues of gods are painted on the left and right sides of the gate, showing their majesty and domineering power.

There is also a row of text carved in the middle.

But this text is not the common language of Daqian, and Zhang Yuan cannot understand it.

After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hands and pressed them on the stone door, trying to push it hard.

As a result, the stone gate did not move at all.

But Zhang Yuan was not discouraged. He increased his strength little by little while preparing for any unexpected events.

When his strength increased by about 30,000 pounds, the seemingly unshakable stone door suddenly shook and showed signs of loosening.

There is a door!

Zhang Yuan suddenly perked up and tried harder without thinking.

All the muscles in his body were tense, and all the Hun Yuan true energy was concentrated in his palms. When combined with the power of the black giant ant, he instantly burst out with a force of over 50,000 kilograms.

boom!
Driven by this extremely powerful force, the extremely heavy stone door slowly opened inward.

A huge palace appeared in front of Zhang Yuan!

When Zhang Yuan walked through the stone gate and entered the hall, the stone lamps on the four walls lit up automatically, and the flames illuminated the entire hall.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but hold his breath.

Because the scene before me was really shocking.

Opposite the gate, that is, at the innermost part of the hall, there is a high platform with a throne on it.

The ten-foot square throne seemed to be cast in gold. Although no one knew how many years had passed, it still glowed with a bright yellow light under the light.

And on the throne, there sat a skeleton wearing a robe and a crown!

To the right of the skull stands a short pillar with a golden plate on it.

A ball of golden light was silently suspended above it, and its elixir-like core could be faintly seen!
Zhang Yuan took out the treasure map and compared it.

I am sure this is the treasure I am looking for! (End of this chapter)
