Chapter 297: Relics of the Divine Era, Changes in the Treasury

The end of the passage.

Faced with absolute numerical superiority, no matter what kind of trap, it is difficult to pose a threat.

Su Hao simply ignored the traps in the passage; whenever a pale skeleton warrior died, he would dispatch another pale skeleton warrior to scout ahead.

The traps in this passage are truly dense, and their power is outrageously strong; before taking a few steps, all the pale skeleton warriors he brought were killed by the traps.

However, Su Hao still paid no attention; no matter how high the trap density here or how strong the power, they are limited.

But the number of pale skeleton warriors, as long as Su Hao is willing, can be infinite.

In that case, what is there to worry about?

If one pale skeleton warrior dies, I just summon two more; thus, whenever a pale skeleton warrior dies in the trap, two new pale skeleton warriors appear in the passage.

Finally, when Su Hao and his group reached the end of this passage, the number of pale undead creatures had already exceeded two hundred.

This shows how dangerous this passage is; even if a thousand Supernatural Second Rank beings entered, the final result would only be that they all remain trapped in this passage.

But having said that, Su Hao's behavior of summoning two pale undead creatures after seeing one die is hardly anything but a provocation.

If the mastermind behind this is still alive, seeing Su Hao's behavior would probably not put him in a good mood right now.

After all, he had prepared so many traps, yet caused not even a bit of damage; anyone would be upset.

Su Hao glanced at the rear of the passage, gave a light laugh, and paid no further heed; he took out a brick and, following Suo Lu's method, placed it in a specific position.

The next moment.

The heavy gate before them automatically swung open to both sides, revealing a brand-new passage before them.

Alright! We must continue!

According to Suo Lu, after passing through the trap-filled passage, the treasury lies behind this stone gate.

But judging by the current situation, that is clearly not the case; Suo Lu's treasury is no longer in its original form.

Seeing this, Zhu Ge Chang Qing and the others felt an ominous premonition and grew eager to withdraw.

After all, the current world is huge, several times larger than the original Earth.

They have mechanical troop transports capable of carrying many soldiers, and flight vehicles with decent speed; why bother to make a last stand here? Wouldn't it be better to explore somewhere safer? But Su Hao had no intention of retreating; instead, this change made him even more interested.

Usually, the greater the danger, the greater the reward.

With his current strength, even if he encountered a Supernatural Fifth Rank being, even if he couldn't win, fleeing would pose no problem; so why withdraw now? "If you don't want to continue exploring, I'll send a few pale skeleton warriors to escort you out; just wait outside. As for the reward for discovering this relic, I'll pay you accordingly after I finish my exploration."

Su Hao also noticed that Zhu Ge Chang Qing and the others seemed to have the intention to retreat.

Furthermore, continuing the exploration, Su Hao could not guarantee that these weak Supernatural First Rank beings of Zhu Ge Chang Qing could survive in this dangerous environment.

He simply took the initiative to propose that they apply for withdrawal, while he would continue the exploration himself.

Zhu Ge Chang Qing and the others had no pretense; they clearly understood that this place exceeded what they could bear, and even with Su Hao's protection, pressing on carried a mortal danger.

Moreover, since Su Hao said he would pay for the discovery of this relic, they had even less reason to continue.

After Zhu Ge Chang Qing and the others left, Su Hao waved his hand, and a pale skeleton warrior stepped out, entering the passage behind the gate.

The next moment.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, stone blocks automatically fell away, revealing a crack running from top to bottom; scorching flames spewed from the crack, and in a short while that pale skeleton warrior was burned to ash.

"The traps in this passage seem to be more powerful than those before."

Su Hao stroked his chin, pondered, then waved his hand again; another pale skeleton warrior stepped out, entered the passage, and triggered a new trap.

Thus, with the pale skeleton warriors exploring at the cost of their lives, Su Hao soon reached the end of this passage.

At the end of the passage stood another heavy gate; Su Hao tried the new method he had used before, but failed to open it. Clearly, this gate was not designed by Suo Lu; it was likely the layout of the mastermind behind all this.

However, Su Hao did not give up; since conventional means failed, he decided to try unconventional methods.

Immediately he snapped his fingers with a 'pap' sound, and a three-tailed molten elder dragon avatar emerged from behind him, magma rolling over its body, its three huge tails slamming down onto that gate.

The next moment.

The part of the gate where the tails made contact instantly turned into scorching magma, which rapidly spread outward.

In the blink of an eye, the surface of this massive stone gate was completely covered in scorching magma, and the temperature inside the passage instantly rose by thousands of degrees.

If Zhu Ge Chang Qing and the others had not yet left, such heat could have taken their lives.

And these were merely the aftereffects of the gate turning to magma; the temperature inside the gate was even higher, still rising sharply, and the molten portion continued to increase.

In less than a minute, this stone gate forged from supernatural-grade material with a special craft, under the scorching heat, completely melted into magma.

And under the control of the three-tailed molten elder dragon, the magma automatically split to the left and right, forming a passage over ten meters high.

After passing through this passage, Su Hao arrived at a hall hundreds of meters high.

On the wall directly opposite the passage entrance, a statue of a one-eyed giant was carved, holding a massive wolf-tooth club in its hand, gazing toward the gate.

On the left and right walls, identical one-eyed giant statues were carved; after Su Hao entered, the single eyes of the three statues emitted a clicking sound, stone fell from their eyes, and they all stared fixedly at Su Hao.

Immediately after.

On the bodies of these three statues came a series of clicking sounds; stone flakes fell from them, revealing bronze-colored skin, breaking free from their petrified state and returning to their original form.

"Intruder, die!"

They roared, swung their wolf-tooth clubs, and smashed down toward Su Hao's head, giving him no chance to explain.

Clearly, this is not a treasury.

Perhaps beneath this relic lies the true treasury, but certainly not this place; to find Suo Lu's treasury, we must press on.

Su Hao glanced at the stone gates that appeared on the wall behind the three one-eyed giants after they regenerated, and gave a slight nod.

If nothing unexpected happens, behind these three stone gates should lie the path to the ultimate treasury.

However, to enter, we must first deal with these three one-eyed giants.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Su Hao did not act rashly; he took the Omniscient Magic Book from his Storage Bag and, before the enemy's attack arrived, used its Item Recording function.

【One-Eyed Giant】

Supernatural Grade: Third Tier

Skill: ……

……

After seeing their Supernatural Grade, Su Hao closed the Omniscient Magic Book and did not take them to heart.

Sorry, monsters of Third Tier really aren't worthy of making me get serious.

Those three cyclops are nearly a hundred meters tall, with fierce eyes and robust muscles; each step they take makes the main hall tremble slightly, appearing quite extraordinary.

However, the limit of Supernatural Grade placed there means it is destined to pose no threat to Su Hao.

After all, his spiritual power and physique have already reached Supernatural Fifth Tier, and he also possesses three talents and many powerful skills.

Not to mention just three cyclops; even thirty wouldn't be able to make him get serious.

"Perfect, my clones aren't full yet; let you become part of me."

Su Hao smiled slightly, then slightly moved his thoughts, and used the Flesh Mutation Skill on the three cyclops.

The next moment.

The three cyclops that had been flying toward him suddenly paused, stopping in place.

They horrifiedly discovered that their feet felt as if they weren't their own; no matter how hard they tried, they could not move forward a single step.

This was only the beginning; soon they discovered that parts of their body not under their control were increasing, from feet to waist to hands, all losing control.

Once their brains also lost control, their eyes showed a moment of confusion.

But the next moment they regained clarity, only now they were no longer the original cyclops, but three bodies under Su Hao's control.

However, considering the possible limit on the number of clones, Su Hao did not turn all three cyclops' bodies into his clones; instead, he first performed Flesh Mutation on their bodies.

Under Su Hao's control, the three cyclops came together, and their flesh and blood melted away, flowing down from their bodies.

Finally, even their bones, to avoid harm, turned into a puddle of meat, piling up on the ground.

Immediately after.

Within this meat puddle, the flesh and bones bulged upward, gradually forming a human shape and continuing to refine the details.

About five minutes later, a hundred-meter-tall cyclops with six arms appeared before Su Hao.

"I wonder if it can reach Supernatural Fourth Tier……"

The gap between Supernatural Third Tier and Supernatural Fourth Tier is not as large as that between Supernatural Fourth Tier and Supernatural Fifth Tier; Su Hao felt that after the three Supernatural Third Tier cyclops underwent mutation and fusion, their strength might be further increased.

He then immediately opened the Omniscient Magic Book again and used the Species Record Function on the mutated and fused six-armed cyclops.

【Six-armed Cyclops】

Supernatural Grade: Fourth Tier

Skill: Heavy Smash, Heavy Blow……

Introduction: A special variant of the cyclops, possessing six arms, with greater strength, capable of causing stronger destruction.

……

"Oh ho, I didn't expect the Supernatural Grade to actually reach Fourth Tier; great, great!"

Looking at the content displayed on the Omniscient Magic Book, Su Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Although Su Hao did not place much importance on the six-armed cyclops' own abilities.

However, there is a considerable difference in physique and spiritual power between Supernatural Third Tier and Supernatural Fourth Tier.

After reaching Supernatural Fourth Tier, the enhancement to Su Hao's main body increased significantly; even the power of his Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon clone was further improved.

Likewise, the six-armed cyclops gained some abilities of the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon, possessing higher fire-attribute resistance.

More importantly, with a Fourth Tier physique and spiritual power, using the Dark Dragon Avatar allows it to last longer, and the Dark Dragon Breath's damage is also greater; for Su Hao, this is the most important.

If they really were to fight, without a doubt, after transforming into the Dark Dragon, his clone could achieve offense and defense as one, and its strength would increase severalfold.

What surprised Su Hao even more was that, after transforming the two clones, he confirmed that the number of clones is limited.

However, this limit is not low at all; according to the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon and the six-armed cyclops as evaluation standards, his number of clones can reach twenty to thirty.

Furthermore, between clones themselves, just like between clone and main body, there are enhancements in all aspects.

If he could have twenty to thirty clones, even if they are only Supernatural Fourth Tier.

Under the attribute bonuses between clones, each clone's actual combat power would probably not be much weaker than a Supernatural Fifth Rank.

At that time, if they collectively use the Dark Dragon Avatar, even if the opponent is a Supernatural Fifth Rank, they could defeat or even kill them!

"We need to come up with a stronger control-type skill; otherwise, relying only on Gravity Field and Crimson Tentacles will likely make it hard to keep enemies."

Su Hao nodded thoughtfully; he himself knew best that he had Supernatural Fifth Rank combat power, and with the physique of a Supernatural Fifth Rank, if they really wanted to run, it would indeed be hard to keep them.

However, Su Hao was not worried about skills; having the Synthesis Heart in hand, even a trash skill can be synthesized into a high-level skill that makes people drool.

Of course, if there is a decent control skill as synthesis material, the resulting effect will be even stronger.

This ruin is filled with so many traps; basically, any Supernatural Third Rank who enters never returns, and after going through so many traps, they haven't even seen the location of the treasure vault.

Then, in this treasure vault, there must be something extraordinary; perhaps there is a decent control skill in here as well.

Afterward, Su Hao stopped thinking further, looked at the four doors in the room, and casually chose the left one to walk through.
