Chapter 172: Epoch Treasure Vault

The terrifying thing from the Dragon Nation, judging by this posture, seems to be an ability related to eating.

It can even swallow lasers; that's not a small skill.

Er hao, you're probably going to lose again this time.

Number One somehow produced a pot of clear tea from nowhere, sipping it and speaking leisurely, which was completely out of place with the surrounding tense atmosphere.

Er hao crossed his arms over his chest and gave a cold snort, 'This has just begun; the outcome isn't decided yet!'

Their words were heard squarely by the Three Big Heads.

They also reacted.

Exactly!

What the Order Guardians said is correct.

That terrifying thing from the Dragon Nation might not be especially strong; it just has an ability related to eating.

Don't look at them being smug now; later they'll have something to cry about!

Inside the Epoch Treasure Vault.

The existence of the Laser Area,

It let the Ant Queen Xie Xing and the three of them smoothly gather together.

Regarding this, the Angry Rioter was very dissatisfied,

I've figured it out; you deliberately fell behind just to have me go first and blaze a trail for you!

If I hadn't noticed early, I would really have been used by the two of you.

What a despicable bunch.

Hearing this, the Ant Queen Xie Xing laughed and deliberately spoke in a fawning tone:

Oh dear, Mr. Rioter, are you still bothered by this little thing?

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; this time we're actually in a cooperative relationship!

You're capable; you lead the way, and later I'll give you a share of the treasure.

What the Mosquito Queen Xie Xing said is correct.

The Pilgrim chimed in, 'Those who are capable get more; you open the path, and we'll give you a portion of the wealth.'

This is a win-win; why wouldn't we all do it?

Alright, alright.

The Angry Rioter waved a hand, too lazy to continue arguing with them, 'Remember, you said those words.'

All right, move aside; I'm about to blaze a path now!

Whoosh!

Just as the words fell,

The Angry Rioter couldn't suppress his inner agitation, turning into a beam of light and shooting forward again, with the Ant Queen Xie Xing and the others closely following.

But after flying for about a minute, the surroundings became abnormally scorching.

The floor, ceiling, and walls on both sides turned bright red.

Like an iron plate heated red by charcoal fire, still accompanied by clumps of flames.

It's so hot; the temperature now probably can't be measured by numbers.

The Angry Rioter wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Indeed, sweat.

As a destruction-level horror, it actually sweated from the heat.

This hasn't happened in several hundred years!

Under such high temperature, it feels like every part of the body is heating up.

All bodily functions are also rapidly declining.

The Angry Rioter suddenly realized that staying in high temperature for too long would be dangerous!

I must get out of here as soon as possible!

Then,

It flapped its wings with all its might.

Trying to rush out of this scorching area as fast as possible.

But the next second, the ceiling suddenly dropped a huge iron plate, like a swinging fly swatter, with a bang.

It slammed into the Angry Rioter!

It crashed hard to the ground, head spinning, 'These damned mechanisms are really infuriating!'

【Anger Value: 40%】

Just as he came to his senses, the ground seemed to start shaking.

Looking up, countless lava giant lizards surged toward it, mighty and kicking up dust.

Each lava giant lizard possesses the strength of a disaster-level horror, and the three leading ones are even destruction-level.

Damn it!

Why aren't you making a move; what are you waiting for?

The Angry Rioter shouted behind him.

Immediately after, the Mosquito Queen Xie Xing and the Pilgrim appeared, launching an immediate attack on the lizard swarm.

Countless Judgment Black Swords and a large number of mutant mosquitos rushed toward the lizard swarm.

Pfft-pfft!

Where the Black Sword passed, the Magma Giant Lizards were severed head from body, blood spattered everywhere, dyeing the ground red.

The mutant mosquito swarm's sharp proboscis like a spear pierced the Magma Giant Lizards' skin, frenziedly sucking their blood, draining them dry.

As for those three leading Magma Lizards,

Within three minutes, they too were dealt with by the Angry Rioters, though they also suffered some injuries in the process.

But none were serious.

It was like tripping and scraping the skin, creating a few small wounds.

It hurt a little, but it was insignificant.

"Even we got injured; the terrifying beings of the Dragon Nation must be in no better shape now!"

The Angry Rioters crossed their arms, anticipating the sorry state of the Dragon Nation's terrifying beings.

Outside the venue,

The spectators saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, they are apocalypse‑level; mere defensive mechanisms can't possibly stop them."

"Even facing a swarm of Magma Lizards, they remain calm and composed."

"Hmph, you Desire Star and Alien Mother Star are going too far, actually letting our Angry Rioters clear the way ahead, scheming against me."

"What are you talking about? It's clearly they themselves discussed it."

"Why don't you say that your Angry Rioters can also get there first and claim first dibs?"

"Besides, they already agreed to share more loot with the Angry Rioters later—why aren't you mentioning that?"

"Heh, more share?"

That line, probably only the Angry Rioters would believe it.

Once we truly subdue the Dragon Nation, the ownership of the treasure will still have to be decided by force!

Everything else is just empty talk.

"The heat in this Scorching Area is a bit strange, as if it were specially designed to deal with terrifying beings."

"I want to see how the Dragon Nation folks will respond!"

The Ultimate Deputy Chairman stood with hands on hips, eyes locked on the screen.

This time,

The Day and Night Wanderer Gods have actually become much more normal.

They did not completely devour the flames on the wall.

Instead, they walked barefoot on the burning floor as if nothing were wrong, chatting while they walked.

"Hmm… looks fine."

At first glance the Ultimate Deputy Chairman thought it was fine, but upon closer look…

Wait!

Barefoot?

"Who can explain to me how they can do this!"

"This doesn't make sense!"

With such terrifying heat, even the Angry Rioters wouldn't dare be so careless.

The Day and Night Wanderer Gods actually managed to do this!

However, what followed,

was an even stranger occurrence.

Likewise, they were Magma Giant Lizards, likewise three apocalypse‑level leaders.

But when they encountered them, the Day and Night Wanderer Gods not only did not panic like the Angry Rioters, but instead showed an excited expression?

"My heavens!"

"Sun Wanderer God, look, so many lizards!"

"Look at their thick limbs; the meat must be quite elastic!"

The Night Wanderer God's saliva was almost dripping; it retracted the Soul‑Reaping Rope and drew a knife.

Its eyes glowed red as it charged forward.

Seeing this, the Sun Wanderer God rolled up his sleeves, eyes shining,

"Ready‑made charcoal fire, ready‑made meat—why hesitate?"

"Just start grilling!"

"Seek treasure by striking first?"

"No rush!"

"Worst case, we'll just go ahead and grab it later!"

"Did you bring chili?"

"I brought it!"

"What about cumin?"

"I'm sprinkling it now."

"Sprinkle some scallions on top; it'll smell even better."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Mmm, smells really great—shame we can't control the heat; otherwise a fierce blaze would give that perfect char‑outside, tender‑inside satisfaction."

In the Scorching Area, the Day and Night Wanderer Gods easily dealt with the Magma Giant Lizard swarm.

At that moment, all the Magma Giant Lizards lay sprawled, their mouths tightly sealed with special tape, eyes wide open.

Especially seeing their own kind being roasted on an iron rack by the Day and Night Roaming Deities.

Their faces turned green with fright as they struggled desperately.

Their hearts were filled with utter despair.

No way!

Where did these two living Yama kings pop out from!

Not moving forward, and instead setting up a barbecue here?

Why not add some drinks and ice-cold beer while you're at it!

They had just grumbled like this in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the Day Roaming Deity waved a hand, and a crate of ice-cold beer actually appeared in his grip.

Magma Giant Lizard: "..."

Are you guys here for a picnic???

"Here, beer chilled since this morning, paired with barbecue — perfect!"

The Night Roaming Deity handed the Day Roaming Deity a bottle of beer, then suddenly thought of something,

"Right, should we add some cilantro?"

"Do you eat cilantro?"

The Day Roaming Deity frowned and shook his head, "I don't eat cilantro."

"Then I'll put it on half and leave it off the other half."

"These days, living one after another sure is comfortable."

"Come to think of it, what did we come here to do again?" The Night Roaming Deity's memory wasn't too good.

The Day Roaming Deity ate barbecue while drinking beer,

"Forgot — oh! I remember now, we came to loot things!"

"No rush, no rush, come on, cheers, cheers!"

In the scorching zone, the Day and Night Roaming Deities ate skewers and drank alcohol.

The three persons-in-charge outside the arena felt their composure crack a little.

"The Magma Giant Lizard got made into grilled skewers just like that, alive?"

"Someone slap me so I can wake up from this damn dream!"

Vice President Terminator shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly teleported in front of it.

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out!

Vice President Terminator clutched its face and stared blankly at Zhang Cheng: "????"

No way, bro, you're for real!

After slapping it, Zhang Cheng quickly put distance between himself and Vice President Terminator.

He rubbed his slightly warm palm and said with complete satisfaction:

"What a damn shame."

"First time in my life I've heard a request like that."

"Vice President Terminator, next time you have a good thing like this, remember to call me — free service!"

Zhang Cheng's teasing smile made Vice President Terminator burn with fury, wanting to rush over and get revenge.

But meeting Xiao Dian's fierce gaze,

It chickened out.

Though it was a vice president, its strength was only at the Destruction level.

It had no confidence at all in beating Xiao Dian.

"Slapped by an enemy and doesn't even dare to fight back."

"You've completely lost face for your Terminator Planet!"

The Desire Cult Leader fanned the flames from the side, his words full of spite.

The Foreign Race Vice Leader also joined in the jeering, "Yes, yes, yes, you don't even dare to fight back when hit — Vice President Terminator, are you a coward?"

"You're the face of Terminator Planet!"

"Look behind you — all the Terminator Planet audience is watching. If you don't react, your prestige will be completely shattered in front of them from now on!"

As soon as these words came out,

Vice President Terminator suddenly turned its head to look.

Under the gaze of the Terminator Planet audience, it sensed multiple emotions — contempt, expectation, disgust, disdain...

Almost all of them looked down on it!

"Get lost!"

"Why are all of you staring at me like that?"

"If you've got the guts, go up there yourselves! You want to trick me? Not a chance!"

Saying that, Vice President Terminator glared at the Desire Cult Leader and the other two,

"Don't think you can use provocation to make me do something stupid."

"If I die, you can hog the terrifying power on Lan Xing all to yourselves — dream on!"

Vice President Terminator was indeed a character.

Even with fury blazing within its body, it could still stay calm.

However, after this incident, it also learned a lesson.

Too many words inevitably lead to loss.

From now on, I will never talk back again.

This also cannot be blamed on it.

The key is, who could have expected that Zhang Cheng would really slap it—completely unexpected, basically a lunatic.
