~6 min read 1,165 words

Hum.

Hum.. hum.. hum...

The low humming sound kept echoing, but as soon as they passed through a winding fissure, the leading Heavenly Walker Nuode and the others felt a strong sense of discomfort.

It was like a low-frequency sound; even if they fully exerted their rule power, they could not resist the penetration of this low tone.

Although they felt uncomfortable, the entire team's faces lit up with excitement.

That's right, it's right below!

Everyone, stay on guard and mobilize your defenses to the fullest!

With a low shout, Nuode took the lead, his whole body bursting forth with strong rule light.

The stronger their discomfort, the more it indicated how powerful the corpse inside was! Of course, opportunity and risk coexist. The contamination left behind by the death of high-level beings also poses considerable danger to low-level Awakened Ones.

Soon, as the cave mouth suddenly opened up, a void several kilometers wide appeared before their eyes.

In Nuode's fiery gaze, they immediately saw half a corpse floating in the center of the void.

Like floating on an invisible lake surface, compared to the severed limbs outside, this corpse remarkably retained half of its body. It was blackish-purple all over, looking from afar like a severed piece of dead wood.

Waves of undulation spread from the corpse like ripples, then struck the rock walls and bounced back.

The low-frequency sound they heard was the ripple rebounding off the corpse's waist, striking the metal belt and producing the sound.

Noticing the metallic sheen at the waist, Nuode's heart jolted, and his breathing instantly became ragged!

Although he couldn't tell whether that metal object resembling a belt was some kind of equipment, no matter what, it had to be a good thing! Who knows how long this force has been rebounding; if it's equipment, the power left inside must be unimaginably huge!

Although they were overjoyed, the three leading War Star Peak individuals exchanged a glance and quickly asked the people behind them.

"Why didn't the intel mention the corpse's condition? Equipment! If that really is a piece of equipment, we have no need to cooperate with the Corpse Summoners!"

Never had they thought their luck could be this good. Nuode's breathing was ragged as he complained dissatisfiedly.

This equipment's rank is at least Star-Destroying or higher! In a situation where the strongest present are only War Star Level, relying on equipment of this rank would be enough to crush everyone else! After all, the strength of the Heavenly Walkers also belongs to the top tier!

"Lord Nuode, we don't know either!"

"You should know, according to the alliance's secrecy rules, we only learn what to do after we enter. The alliance might not even be sure of the situation below; the last time we discovered this place, our people were severely wounded and entered unintentionally."

"He sent back very little information; I think he might have died before seeing the corpse."

Hearing his subordinates' uncertain answer, Nuode frowned dissatisfiedly and didn't say anything more.

Given the importance, it's normal for the alliance to do this to prevent leaks. Of course, it's also possible the alliance truly doesn't know the corpse's specifics. But for some reason, he always feels something is off.

"Kuluo, you, and you, you three, move over now! If there's any abnormality, give an alarm immediately!"

Without further ado, Nuode quickly selected one War Star Peak and two Fourth Stage War Slaves to approach the corpse.

Although it didn't look dangerous, he still didn't plan to put himself at risk out of caution.

"Yes!"

At his command, the three instantly formed a triangular team and flew toward the corpse.

Although it was only a kilometer away, despite the three approaching cautiously, they soon gently flew to the corpse's vicinity after a few seconds.

As they drew nearer, the leading War Star Individual among the three could see more clearly.

That half-corpse's waist indeed had an object resembling a piece of equipment; even without touching it, he could feel a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.

With ragged breath, as he cautiously reached out his right hand toward the belt, suddenly this War Star Level's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something utterly unbelievable!

This is...!?

"Kuluo!?"

"What are you standing there for!? What did you see!?"

At the same time, in the rear hundred-person squad, the leading Heavenly Walker Captain Nuode couldn't help but shout! In his view, the Kuluo trio he had sent out seemed to freeze, their backs turned to him.

Fearing some danger might arise, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

However, this was completely beyond Nuode's expectations.

Only saw the War Star Individual who had touched the belt suddenly turn around, his emotions nearly out of control, shouting in ecstasy:

"Captain! It's a spatial equipment!! My god!! This is a Silver-Star Level spatial equipment! We've struck it rich!! We've struck it rich!!!"

Even though they were a kilometer apart, Nuode and the others could feel Kuluo's excitement at this moment.

It was as if they had hit the super jackpot; everyone's heads buzzed, and they stood there dazed.

"Spatial equipment!? Is there anything inside!?"

Before Nuode's instinctive disbelief could settle, the next second, the Heavenly Walker Kuluo, his mind addled by ecstasy, grabbed the belt and lifted it high above his head!

"Captain! The inside is fully loaded! My god! The system just prompted me that the inside is full of equipment!!!"

White light flashed, like opening a treasure trove; as this spatial equipment was opened, a large amount of equipment emitting strong spiritual energy fluctuations came pouring out with a clatter!

"Silver-Star Level weapons, Meteor-Smashing War Hammer! Shatter-Star Level armor! High-energy restorative potions! Helmets! So much! So much!"

"This corpse must have been a super expert in life! Captain! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!!"

Not a single Fifth Stage individual could remain unmoved in the face of such wealth.

Their hearts pounded to the point of bursting! Seeing the equipment pouring out almost engulfing the Kuluo trio, the originally cautious Nuode's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and even extreme greed and possessiveness welled up in his heart!

"Don't drop any more! Don't tell those above! Hurry! Quickly bring it back to me!"

"No, you stay there and don't move; I'm coming over now!!"

"Boom!"

As if seeing his bright future, Nuode, heedless of exposing his greed, flew toward the corpse at breakneck speed like a madman; and among his troops behind him, the remaining War Star Individuals also seemed to realize what was happening, rushing out in haste!

Although according to alliance regulations, they should immediately inform the others on the ground after ascertaining the specific situation, to avoid accidents.

But at this moment, everyone shared Nuode's mindset, not wanting the news to leak.

At the same time, Lin An, who was following behind them, stood stiffly in place.

Behind his mask, Lin An's eyes showed no excitement at all, and his pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like glints.
