111: Stone gate opens, mythical treasure chest

Regardless of whether the other party was foolish or not, Liu Yang understood from their words that they hadn't stumbled in by accident; they had tracked him here.

Thinking this, he immediately remembered where he had seen them before.

Six people, close by, and they had even met each other.

Adding these points together, there was no one else but the group of six he had briefly seen from afar on the grassland.

"Since they came with malicious intent, I won't feel any guilt for killing them."

"But I really didn't expect the effects of those potions to last so long."

Liu Yang thought to himself as he walked towards the pit with his sword.

"You, you, you, you're Liu Yang?"

When Liu Yang's face was clearly revealed to them, they were stunned.

"What's going on? Weren't you out killing people? How are you here? Are you twins?"

Liu Yang didn't understand what they meant by their words, nor did he want to listen to their nonsense.

The longer he dragged it out, the more likely accidents were to happen.

This kind of thing was a common plot device in all sorts of novels.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

With a series of sword swings, all six died.

After absorbing their Homes one after another, another large sum of materials was added to his account.

The sound of increasing Slaughter Points followed immediately, proving that Liu Yang had added six more lives to his hands.

He dragged the six bodies to the stone gate.

Red light appeared, and the bodies vanished.

The blood-colored secret patterns in the center of the stone gate glowed brightly.

Then, with a series of "clack, clack, clack" sounds, the stone gate slowly opened.

Liu Yang drew his bow and nocked an arrow, on alert.

After waiting for a long time, the light dissipated, and silence filled the cave.

At this point, the stone gate was fully open.

There was no light curtain blocking the entrance, and the scene inside the door was completely visible to Liu Yang.

The secret room was very small, roughly estimated to be less than 200 square meters.

The layout inside was very simple: an altar, a few stone statues, a few murals, and nothing else.

Liu Yang slowly walked inside the door, then quietly retreated, without any surprises.

"This good? No danger at all?"

Liu Yang stepped in again, then quickly retreated.

He went back and forth several times before finally relaxing.

Then, Liu Yang began to carefully examine everything around him.

The most conspicuous was the stone statue on the altar.

The appearance of the stone statue was extremely similar to the form of the mysterious remnant soul he had encountered before.

The other stone statues were basically smaller versions of it.

Then he looked at the murals; these murals were not damaged at all and were very clear.

Liu Yang couldn't understand the text in the paintings, but from the patterns, it seemed to depict a group of humans sacrificing to the original form of that stone statue.

Liu Yang disassembled his camera and photographed everything in the secret room.

Finally, he came to the altar, where an unfamiliar treasure chest was placed.

【Mythical Treasure Chest: The highest-grade treasure chest in the Underground Palace World. All items in the Underground Palace World may be obtained from it.】

"Is that it? Did I get the treasure so easily?"

Liu Yang walked out of the secret room, holding the treasure chest, his face full of disbelief.

He looked back, then at the treasure chest in his arms.

It was all real, not an illusion.

【You opened the Mythical Treasure Chest and obtained Intermediate Physique Enhancement Scroll x1, Intermediate Spirit Enhancement Scroll x1, Intermediate Attack Speed Rune Stone x1, Primary Drop Rate Rune Stone x1, High-Grade Cultivated Farmland x1, Guardian Exclusive Skill: Quick Battle, Quick Victory x1, Return-to-City Teleportation Stone x1, Unknown Treasure Map Fragment x1, Unknown Skill Fragment x1, god's book page x2.】

"..."

Looking at the items opened from the Mythical Treasure Chest, Liu Yang felt neither joy nor sorrow.

The surprise was too great; he didn't know how to express it.

There didn't seem to be many items, but just from their names, they were all things he yearned for but couldn't obtain.

【Intermediate Physique Enhancement Scroll: After use, Physique attribute increases by 20 points (fixed). Only one scroll of the same grade and attribute can be used.】

"Use."

【Intermediate Physique Enhancement Scroll successfully used, Physique +20.】

【Intermediate Spirit Enhancement Scroll: After use, Spirit attribute increases by 20 points (fixed). Only one scroll of the same grade and attribute can be used.】

"Use."

【Intermediate Spirit Enhancement Scroll successfully used, Spirit +20.】

After using the two scrolls, Liu Yang took out the two rune stones.

【Intermediate Attack Speed Rune Stone】: A very rare rune stone that can be inlaid into a weapon. (Only one rune of the same attribute can be inlaid per weapon)

【Attribute】: Attack Speed +20%.

【Primary Drop Rate Rune Stone】: A very rare rune stone that can be inlaid into a weapon. (Only one rune of the same attribute can be inlaid per weapon)

【Attribute】: Monster Drop Rate +10%.

"Excellent, they can be inlaid directly into the Flame Bow."

Thinking of it, Liu Yang took out the Flame Bow.

First, he inlaid the Intermediate Attack Speed Rune Stone, then the Primary Drop Rate Rune Stone.

As a result, the Flame Bow's attributes changed greatly.

【perfect spiritual flame bow】: This is a perfect weapon designed by a master craftsman and crafted with spirit crystals as its core. By simply inputting spiritual energy, it can condense fire-element energy arrows, making it both convenient and powerful—an indispensable combat partner.

【Attribute 1】: Ignores Target Defense +5%.

【Attribute 2】: Ignores Target Defense +5%.

【Attribute 3】: Fire Damage +5%.

【Attribute 4】: Attack Speed +5%.

【Attribute 5】: Attack Damage +5%.

【Fire-Element Energy Arrow】: 10 spiritual energy / arrow.

【Inlay 1】: Intermediate Attack Speed Rune Stone (Attack Speed +20%).

【Inlay 2】: Primary Drop Rate Rune Stone (Monster Drop Rate +10%).

【High-Grade Cultivated Farmland: Under normal conditions, it can increase crop growth speed by three times. Spiritual energy can be used to change the growth multiplier. Please explore specific details yourself.】

"Hmm, I was just thinking that the farmland at Home wasn't enough. I hope the High-Grade farmland is larger."

【Return-to-City Teleportation Stone: Fix the Return-to-City Teleportation Stone in a certain place, and players can bind to it (unlimited slots), setting that location as their return-to-city point. (The first binder will gain absolute control.)】

"Huh? It seems different from what I imagined!"

"Looking at these attributes, does it mean setting a spawn point?"

"If I place this Teleportation Stone in my Home, and then let Yufei and the others bind to it, will they be able to use it as a return-to-city point and travel back and forth freely every day?"

Upon this thought, Liu Yang became excited.

If it were possible, not only could the entire team stay together often, but there would also be countless other benefits.

Suppressing his excitement, Liu Yang decided to try it later.

Looking at the last four items—the treasure map, skill fragment, god's book page—he already understood them and didn't need to look again.

Finally, Liu Yang took a deep breath and slowly took out the skill book.

"My second exclusive skill, please be powerful!"

He used the skill book with his eyes closed, then Liu Yang checked the specific information of the skill.

【Skill】: Guardian Exclusive Skill: Quick Battle, Quick Victory Lv0.

【Effect】: Attack Speed +10%. Next level effect: Attack Speed +20%.

【Consumption】: Passive skill, no consumption.
