176: Chapter 176 Treasure Hunt in Destiny City
Chen Yue opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Dan Yunyao added, "Don't anyone dare refuse. Wealth is merely an external possession; this time, safety is our priority."
Afterward, she handed the invisibility talismans to everyone.
"These are Heavenly-Rank invisibility talismans. They can be used for half an hour. When not in use, just take them off, and you can stick them back on to use them again. However, be aware that once you attack, the invisibility effect will end."
"Later, you can rely on the bracelets to determine each other's positions. Everyone, split up and act independently. Remember to protect your own safety; we will regroup at the original location later!"
Chi Anlin took the invisibility talisman and nodded thoughtfully. This thing was a good item; after returning, he would find Dan Yunyao to trade for another one to use for beast synthesis.
Soon, the group arrived not far from Tianming City. Ji Hongfei put the Nether Shadow Black Steel Dragon into his beast taming pouch and then stuck the invisibility talisman onto his body.
After successfully turning invisible, the group ran toward Tianming City. At this moment, Tianming City was in chaos; many houses had collapsed, and the ground was littered with corpses that still retained some warmth.
The City Lord was dead, and the Golden Horn Ancient Emperor was also dead. The Golden Horn Realm had completely become a hunting ground for the human race, so the cities were even more of a focus.
For a time, the guards at the city gates all mutinied, and the refugees of the Golden Horn Clan entered the city to plunder resources, burning, killing, and looting, turning Tianming City into a purgatory.
Chi Anlin entered the city gate, sensed the surroundings for a moment, and rubbed his chin.
Many of the Golden Horn Clan members in the city were of the Third Realm, while those of the Fourth Realm disdained fighting over such petty gains and had all gone to search for the City Lord's treasury.
With so many of the Golden Horn Clan, it really wasn't easy to kill them with Ant Soldiers. Chi Anlin decided that he could deploy some Ant Soldiers in a certain location within the Golden Horn Realm to help him harvest blood energy.
The Ant Soldiers could continue to survive here. Although there was no Queen Ant, they could reproduce on their own, though the number of offspring was quite small.
Moreover, the daily energy consumption of these Ant Soldiers was too vast, and the Second Realm beasts in the Lesser Beast Realm were basically gone, so releasing a few Ant Soldiers could also be considered saving some energy.
Killing a Second Realm beast yielded roughly between 0.5 and 500 units of blood energy, and all the Second Realm beasts in the Lesser Beast Realm had provided Chi Anlin with a total of 6.1 million units.
What Chi Anlin cared about now was not how much the Ant Soldiers could produce daily, but where the nourishment would come from.
Since they had come out this time, there should be experts protecting them from behind, so Chi Anlin did not immediately release the Ant Soldiers and instead wandered around the city.
After the invisibility talisman was stuck on his body, it rendered everything invisible, so Xiao Xing was currently still inside Chi Anlin's clothes.
Otherwise, if he stuck on the invisibility talisman, he would have had to strip off all his clothes.
Following Xiao Xing's instructions, Chi Anlin wandered through the city, having to occasionally dodge the fighting Golden Horn Clan members to avoid being attacked, which would cause the invisibility talisman to fail.
In an alien world, no one cared how young or talented you were. If you happened to run into a Golden Horn Clan member with a higher cultivation level, death was the only outcome.
Chi Anlin wasn't entirely sure if there was anyone protecting them in secret, so he had to prepare for the worst.
On the street ahead, blood stained the stone steps. A female Golden Horn Clan member was huddled in despair, holding a baby in her arms. At this moment, a Mortal Rank Golden Horn man with glowing green eyes walked straight up and dragged the Golden Horn woman away.
The sound of the baby crying drifted over, accompanied by the desperate voice of the Golden Horn woman. Chi Anlin shook his head and continued searching for the location of the treasure.
Even without various races, humans themselves would still slaughter one another. There were still wars in ordinary times, let alone in a cultivation world.
Some people might see this scene and act decisively, but none of them, not even Chen Yue, would step in to help.
Once they acted, not only would they expose themselves, but they might also implicate their teammates. Although the Golden Horn Clan members were currently slaughtering each other, if a human truly appeared, all the Golden Horn Clan members would surely unite to attack the human.
Following Xiao Xing's guidance, Chi Anlin found a medicine shop. The spiritual herbs inside had already been plundered, and the counter had been smashed to smithereens.
After communicating with Xiao Xing in his sea of consciousness, Chi Anlin soon found a box in a hidden compartment in the floor.
Putting the box directly into the Queen Ant's world, Chi Anlin continued searching for the treasury.
The invisibility talisman only lasted for half an hour, so he couldn't afford to waste any time.
——————
Mo Yu walked along the street, occasionally taking the opportunity to collect corpses from the ground amidst the chaos.
Although the horns of the Golden Horn Clan were good items, under normal circumstances, the Golden Horn Clan members would not remove these horns.
This gave Mo Yu the opportunity to scavenge.
The reason he came here to search for the treasury, besides scavenging, was more for training and obtaining resources, even if he didn't end up getting anything from the treasury...
This little bit of stuff really wasn't enough to trade for an invisibility talisman; Dan Yunyao was truly freaking rich.
But Dan Yunyao was rich, while he, Mo Yu, was not. Recently, he hadn't even dared to collect his stipend from the Mo family, so his income was directly zero.
Mo Yu collected corpses while observing his surroundings, so as not to let anyone discover anything amiss.
Meanwhile, Ji Hongfei had already stepped into the City Lord's Mansion. There were still several Fourth Realm Golden Horn Clan members inside, so he didn't have the opportunity to use his "scattering beans to create soldiers" technique.
At this moment, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at a stone wall not far away. For some reason, he felt that something there was attracting him.
Without hesitation, Ji Hongfei walked straight over.
He gently touched the stone wall. Ji Hongfei applied a little force with his fingers, only to discover that with his finger strength, he couldn't damage the stone wall in the slightest.
Was there something inside?
In this City Lord's Mansion, there were several Earth-Rank cultivators whose senses were extremely keen. If he revealed himself, he would definitely be hunted down.
Ji Hongfei rubbed his chin and then walked toward these Earth-Rank Golden Horn Clan members.
These Golden Horn Clan members actually had the leisure to drink here?
He saw several Earth-Rank Golden Horn Clan members at a table in the main hall, drinking unsteadily.
"As expected of the liquor treasured by the City Lord's Mansion, it's truly delicious. It's a pity the Heavens Mandate King has no fortune to enjoy it!"
"Drink! After today, we will all be prey for the human race. How laughable, how pathetic!"
The Golden Horn Clan members all knew their situation. Once the human race completely took control of the Golden Horn Realm, the Golden Horn Clan would be like caged beasts, at the mercy of others.
The Heavenly-Rank Peak Golden Horn Clan members were either killed or in hiding, all fearing being slaughtered by the human race after breaking through.
One had to know that the human race would not believe a single word from the rulers of other races; even if they surrendered, they would eventually be exterminated.
Watching the few Golden Horn Clan members drinking, Ji Hongfei raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat excited. Today, I, Ji Hongfei, will wipe out Earth-Rank experts while at a lower level!
Ji Hongfei's consciousness entered his space ring, and he began searching for the hidden poison.
