Wizard's Journey

Chapter 420 The War of the Earth-Destroying Empire (Part Twelve)

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a former commercial building of the Locust People."

The injured level two wizard lifted his wizard's robe and applied gray ointment without hesitation to the large purplish-black blisters on his abdomen. The gray ointment and the purplish-black aura intertwined and neutralized each other.

The wizard groaned and gasped, dropping his robes and carefully putting away the ointment.

"Huh? Holy crap, does that mean...we're rich?!"

Xiao Ba screamed excitedly, looking as if he couldn't wait to plunder and sweep away all the wealth here. Under the mask of truth, Grimm's two-colored eyes also revealed joy.

The experiment of the Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder requires resources that are practically bottomless. One of Green's main purposes in coming to this world was to plunder wealth to support his future experiments.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wiki laughed, and the giant hammer in his hand spun and shrank rapidly, eventually transforming into a patterned brand on skin, incredibly vivid and lifelike.

"I never expected to be so lucky, Master. What kind of resistance is there up there?"

A witch a hundred meters away said in a low voice, "The treasure vault is sealed using a kind of opposing energy of fire soul power. To unlock it in the normal order, the fire soul power needs to be activated and released according to the corresponding fluctuations."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

More than ten demon hunters flew up and found a four-finger handprint on the door of a secret chamber, which should be the place to input the password for the corresponding secret chamber's Flame Soul Power.

An indescribable chill emanated from the sealed room, as if it were penetrating to the very marrow of one's bones.

Of all the people, Wiki was the most eager, as the ley line essence seemed to be extremely important to him.

Wiki placed his hands on the wall, creating an indescribable ripple effect, as if sensing the specific situation inside the secret room.

"Damn it! No, forceful destruction will trigger the self-destruct mechanism inside. This world actually has such a sophisticated device."

No wonder Wikipedia was surprised.

Given the evolutionary path of this world where everyone cultivates the Flame Soul Sword Dao, even if there are some simple mechanical energy devices, none could be as exquisite as this.

As Green's mind raced, he recalled what had happened.

It seems that these demon hunter wizards accidentally discovered the treasure vault of this Crimson Nest. On the one hand, they were greedy for the wealth in the vault and were unwilling to destroy it or seek help from other demon hunter dark wizard teams. Instead, they deliberately made the place public, thereby diluting the wealth that they should have obtained.

On the other hand, the locust people are also unwilling to give up this treasure trove, and thus there are occasional repatriation attacks, just like the one just now.

Beneath the surface of truth, a ghostly fire flickered in Grimm's eyes, an inextinguishable flame igniting within him as he pressed it toward the handprint.

call……

The undying flames and the chilling air intertwined and converged. After a while, Green withdrew the undying flames, shook his head, and gave up.

"It would take more than a year to deplete the energy of the device inside using such external force, which is simply impossible. It seems that if we want to open the secret chamber by normal means, we can only find a professional wizard."

This further convinced everyone that there must be astonishing wealth inside!

Isn't the purpose of the witch hunters' expeditions to plunder the wealth of other worlds?

"Damn it, a friend of mine has a deep understanding of mechanical sorcery and elemental magic circles, but I can't get in touch with her now."

A first-level wizard complained.

Seemingly annoyed, the wizard plucked a strand of his long hair and took a big bite of the green apple.

Unable to reach them?

Suddenly, a Zero Boundary Stone appeared in Green's hand.

Just as she was about to state her conditions, Kredia swayed her graceful figure and walked over, looking at the uninjured level two female witch hunter.

"Master, where is the body of the owner of this treasure vault?"

The witch wore a string of grass rings on her forehead, her eyes fixed on Kredia. Sensing the fluctuations of the Level 3 Honor Medal, she thought for a moment and then pointed to a shattered, charred body in the distance.

"When we first occupied this place, those level one locust people were protecting this locust person, but at that time we hadn't discovered the secret here, so we didn't think too much about it and just killed him."

Nodding, Crédia strode over with her long, shapely legs beneath her short skirt, gently crouching down to pick up a charred arm.

"I'll give it a try. If I succeed, I'll be qualified to challenge Lipin first."

Cressia's smile was alluring; some wizards would be delighted to see it, feeling a sense of warmth and letting their guard down, while others would feel a natural aversion to it.

"Um."

All eyes were on Grimm. Clearly, Grimm, with his Medal of Honor, was the undisputed supreme wizard here, possessing the right to distribute the spoils of war.

After agreeing, Green added, "I want all the ley line essence inside."

With a smile, Cressia moved gracefully, pressing the charred four-fingered arm onto the handprint on the door. Then, pink scorpions the size of fingernails crawled out from Cressia's skin and burrowed into the charred arm.

After a while.

Although the sealed treasure vault remained silent, Kretia revealed a confident smile and began chanting incantations, causing a negative energy belonging to the mysteries of life and death to permeate the air.

hum...

Click, click, click...

As Kretia's charred hand seemed to come back to life, she actually channeled a strange fluctuation composed of a faint flame soul power into it. The chill in the secret chamber merged perfectly with it and then suddenly subsided, followed by the sound of chains rubbing together.

Boom!

After the door to the secret treasure vault was opened, everyone eagerly peered inside, and everyone, including Xiao Ba, was stunned.

"Gaga gaga, gaga gaga gaga, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich..."

Xiao Ba drooled, his eyes filled only with the dazzling array of crystal cores, the countless soul essences, the wondrous minerals, the special broken branches, and the various precious liquids in the small jar.

"Wow! This is... the Free-floating Wood! A legendary precious wood that can communicate with the Wandering Flames!"

A demon hunter dark wizard walked up to a long piece of wood, murmuring with barely suppressed delight. Although he desperately wanted to possess the short piece of wood, he refrained from doing so due to the rules among dark wizards.

Wiki walked excitedly to the three small vials of black liquid, his eyes fixed intently beneath his metal helmet.

Needless to say, this is the essence of the earth's veins.

Green walked past the first and second level crystal cores, his gaze lingering for a moment on a few precious third level crystal cores before he was suddenly drawn to a few natural elemental souls among the hundreds of thousands of soul essences.

To the locust people, the souls of natural elements seemed no different from ordinary souls; they were all condensed into essences using special methods and piled together!

The other witch hunters also noticed this, and two of them naturally looked at it.

"Huh!"

Green's gaze then fell on a piece of dark, unremarkable metal, and he murmured in surprise, "Mysterious metal... does this world have it too?"

Raffi's grandfather was once a third-level archmage who left a clear will stating that after unlocking the secrets of this metal, he would become an earth-shattering wizard.

Green discovered that this metal's mysterious power was integrated into flesh and blood; while wondrous, it had nothing to do with anything earth-shattering.

Kredia stopped in front of a huge piece of amber, her eyes fixed on a palm-sized insect sealed inside, as if she were thinking and recalling something.

After a while.

A level two wizard seemed to have noticed something and suddenly said to Kretia, "Close the vault door."

"Um?"

After Kredia snapped out of her reverie, she suddenly remembered something, and with a clattering sound of chains, the door to the secret chamber slammed shut.

"Looks like we need to hurry up and distribute the loot before they destroy this fiery red nest. Hehe, I choose this one."

As the wizard who opened the secret chamber, Kredia naturally made the first choice according to the previously agreed conditions and took the mysterious amber.

Green discreetly put away the black metal, several pieces of the Soul of Nature, and three bottles of ley line essence. The other demon hunters also began to collect the treasures in the secret room one after another, without stopping at all.

Everyone was overjoyed by their unexpected good fortune.

After a while, a series of rumbling sounds came from inside the sealed chamber. Everyone was startled, and then Grimm shouted, "The Crimson Nest is collapsing! Whoever gets what's left keeps it!"

As if they were prepared, the moment Green spoke, he began to mobilize the power of nature to gather all the wealth in front of him. Green and Xiao Ba then opened up dimensional gaps and collected energy cores in large quantities.

boom……

Before the Crimson Nest completely collapsed, everyone rushed out, panting heavily.

Green glanced at the ruins with a hint of regret; in the end, a considerable amount of wealth was destroyed when the group broke into the secret chamber.

This also reveals the dark wizard's flaws.

They would rather destroy a portion of this wealth than share it with another group of witchers who came to the Crimson Nest.

After exchanging glances, the group quickly concealed their surprise and turned to leave, becoming just another inconspicuous member among the millions of demon hunters.

As beneficiaries of this demon-hunting expedition world, the value of the treasure trove they stumbled upon this time already far exceeds the average income of other demon-hunting wizards.

Everyone turned and left.

Taking out two of the three bottles of earth vein essence, Green said calmly, "A total of twenty-eight grams."

"Hahaha, good, here are twenty-eight witch essences."

Vicky looked very pleased. He reached into his wizard robe and grabbed a small piece of the large mass of magic essence, handing it to Green. Green then handed over the essence of the ley lines.

Meanwhile, Cretia was mobilizing the power of nature, continuously melting the outer layer of the mysterious amber.

After putting away the witch spirit, Green glanced at Little Eight on his shoulder, who was practically going crazy with joy. Little Eight's gains in the final moments were no less than Green's.

Green even suspected that this guy's wealth might actually be incredibly vast, but it was hidden deep within the dimensional gaps because he was too stingy to spend it.

"Alright, now let's continue to Solem and Millie's place."

Green led the way and continued flying.
