Chapter 159: Scavenging the Treasures Clean

The Pterosaur also joined in the fun.

It picked out some spirit treasures it liked.

However, its Storage Bag was relatively small, and it was filled up very quickly.

"Boss, my Storage Bag is full, what should I do?"

The Pterosaur asked with a distressed look on its face.

Zhang Yi patted its shoulder and said generously, "It's fine, my Storage Bag is big; you give all your spirit treasures to me, and I'll keep them for you."

Upon hearing this, the Pterosaur immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly poured all its spirit treasures into Zhang Yi's Storage Bag.

To Zhang Yi, whether it was himself or the Pterosaur, they were all his own people.

In the future, if he didn't have enough for himself, he would just take these spirit treasures from the Pterosaur; it was all the same.

Therefore, Zhang Yi would not be foolish enough to, like the Pterosaur, still be agonizing over whose Storage Bag was big and whose was small at a time like this.

Giving you a big one just means you have to work harder at scavenging.

Zhang Yi also ended up with some leisure, though there was no time for leisure right now.

After he carelessly filled up that small Storage Bag.

He went to search other places.

"I say, little dragon, your eyes are sharp and your movements are fast; you must search carefully and don't miss any treasures."

While rummaging through things, Zhang Yi did not forget to urge the Pterosaur.

"There are so many good things in this place; since we've gone to such trouble to come here, we can't return empty-handed!"

The Pterosaur was busy having the time of its life.

It grabbed a handful of glittering gemstones and threw down a pile of strangely shaped Dharma Artifacts.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, it nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Don't worry, Boss, I guarantee I'll dig three feet deep and won't let a single treasure escape!"

"Mm, that's more like it!"

Zhang Yi patted the Pterosaur's head with satisfaction.

"Look at these treasures piled up like a mountain; it's obvious someone hid them here on purpose."

The Pterosaur clutched a fist-sized Night Pearl and asked curiously.

"Boss, were these things stolen?"

Zhang Yi shook his head.

"I don't know about that, but I can be certain that this matter has something to do with that Elder from the Demon Saint Mansion."

"Perhaps, it was he who, behind the Demon Saint's back, secretly hid all the treasures from the Monster Race Territory here."

The Pterosaur widened its eyes.

"An Elder from the Demon Saint Mansion? Could it really be him?"

"Who knows."

Zhang Yi shrugged.

"Perhaps it's a case of greed being like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"But then again, this old fellow has quite a lot of nerve to dare hide so many treasures privately; he isn't even afraid the Demon Saint will find out and skin him alive!"

The Pterosaur thought for a moment and asked again, "Boss, you've been to the Yao Wang Baoku before; compared to this place, which one do you think is better?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Little dragon, oh little dragon, you really are too inexperienced!

Just this little bit of stuff has shocked you like this?"

"Compared to the Yao Wang Baoku, this is simply a drop in the bucket!"

"Really?"

The Pterosaur looked at Zhang Yi with a face full of admiration.

"What kind of treasures are in the Yao Wang Baoku?"

Zhang Yi smiled with feigned mystery.

"There are so many! All kinds of rare treasures, too many to count! When there's a chance, I will definitely take you to the Yao Wang Baoku to broaden your horizons and let you see what a real treasure vault is!"

Upon hearing this, the Pterosaur was so excited it began to dance with joy.

It almost threw away the Night Pearl in its hand.

"That's great! Boss, you must keep your word!"

"Rest assured."

Zhang Yi smiled and patted the Pterosaur's shoulder, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"But for now, let's finish scavenging all the treasures in front of us first!"

"You got it!"

The Pterosaur replied and threw itself into the great cause of treasure hunting with high spirits once again.

As it rummaged, it fantasized about the scenes inside the Yao Wang Baoku, and its drool was almost flowing out.

Watching the Pterosaur's silly appearance, Zhang Yi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

This kid is really easy to satisfy!

However, having such a loyal little brother is not bad at all.

At the very least, when it comes to things like treasure hunting, it is a capable assistant!

The two of them scavenged the underground space clean of spirit treasures and returned to the bottom of the dry well, feeling fully satisfied.

The Pterosaur carried a huge sack on its back.

It was bulging and stuffed with all sorts of treasures, making him pant heavily from the exertion.

"Boss, we've struck it rich this time!"

Fengshen Yilong said excitedly, "These treasures are enough for us to splurge on for quite a while!"

Zhang Yi patted his shoulder and laughed.

"This is nothing; wait until there's an opportunity later."

"I'll take you to the Demon King's treasury to see for yourself; the treasures there are truly numerous!"

"Really?"

Fengshen Yilong widened his eyes, his drool almost dripping down.

"Of course it's true."

Zhang Yi blinked, feigning mystery.

"I'll let you broaden your horizons when the time comes!"

"That's great!"

Fengshen Yilong rubbed his hands in excitement, "Boss, you have to keep your word!"

"Rest assured, when have I ever lied to you?"

Zhang Yi laughed.

"Next, let's go find He Lao."

"Okay!"

Fengshen Yilong hoisted the sack onto his shoulder and followed excitedly behind Zhang Yi.

They returned along the original path, squeezed through the narrow crevice, and climbed laboriously out of the dry well.

However, just as they had climbed out of the dry well and had not yet had a chance to catch their breath.

A powerful demon force suddenly descended from the sky.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Yi was startled and looked around vigilantly.

A cold, sinister voice came from the air, carrying a hint of mockery and killing intent.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to discover my secret; it seems I cannot let you live!"

As the voice fell, a demon clad in black clothes with a ferocious face appeared before them.

He was tall and burly, his entire body radiating a suffocating Demon Qi.

A pair of eyes stared fixedly at Zhang Yi and Fengshen Yilong.

"Oh no, it's an Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion!"

Zhang Yi recognized the newcomer at a glance, and his heart sank.

"That's right, it is I!"

The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion gave a cold, sinister laugh.

"You lowly ants, daring to steal my treasures—you truly have grown tired of living!"

"Your treasures?"

Zhang Yi sneered, "These treasures clearly belong to the Demon King; what is your intention in hiding them here?"

"Hmph, the Demon King? He is nothing but a puppet; true power lies in my hands!"

The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion laughed arrogantly.

"These treasures will be mine sooner or later; you little thieves dared to get here first—you deserve to die!"

"What shameless boasting!"

Zhang Yi rebuked angrily, "You betrayed the Demon King and hid the treasures; your crimes are unforgivable!"

"Enough talk!"

The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion waved his hand impatiently, "Since you know my secret, then go to your deaths!"

Before the words had even faded.

The Elder of the Demon Saint Mansion transformed into a black shadow and lunged toward Zhang Yi and Fengshen Yilong.
