Chapter 308: Treasure Trove, Struck It Rich!

~12 min read 2,347 words

"It's time to see what secrets this place has."

Su Hao muttered to himself, then immediately used the Pale Bone Claw to refine over a thousand Pale Bone Beads.

Then, using these Pale Bone Beads as a medium, he summoned a large number of undead creatures to carry out a carpet-like search of the city.

The city's area is not small; if Su Hao were to search it himself, even after waiting for his two other clones to emerge, it would still consume a lot of time.

But with the undead creatures, it's different; all the undead creatures Su Hao summoned possess decent intellect.

Having them carry out the search is no problem at all; moreover, their great numbers give them a higher speed and efficiency than acting personally.

However, this is a city of giants; relying on just a thousand undead creatures is clearly not enough.

After sending them off to explore, Su Hao again used the Pale Bone Claw to refine them into Pale Bone Beads, then used those to summon even more undead creatures.

He repeated the process, and undead creatures continually appeared beside him, joining the team exploring the city.

Gradually, undead creatures appeared everywhere in this huge city.

Although they are only ordinary humans, even a brick here is much taller than them.

But their advantage lies in their great numbers, and each undead creature possesses Supernatural Third Rank combat power, making leaps of several tens of meters no problem.

In just a few hours, Su Hao drew a rough map based on the feedback from these undead creatures.

In the first two layers of space, the city's layout is identical, as if copied, with no discernible difference.

But the third layer is different; the layout has undergone an obvious change—the most obvious being that there is no church as in the first two layers, replaced instead by an inconspicuous one-story small building, uh…

After receiving this news, Su Hao let the other undead creatures continue exploring while he personally inspected this small building.

Su Hao, accompanied by the six-armed one-eyed giant, arrived at the building's location; the building's door was tightly shut and made of a special material with extreme hardness.

Even a Supernatural Fourth Rank cultivator would find it difficult to break open.

If others faced this door and wanted to open it, they would have only two options.

Either they must search for a key whose whereabouts are unknown, or they must resort to brute force to smash the door—but breaking open this door is no simple task.

But after Su Hao used the Item Appraisal Technique, he had a new method.

This door is indeed made of precious material, giving it astonishing hardness; even a Supernatural Fifth Rank cultivator would probably struggle to break it open.

Even the walls surrounding the house are protected by formations, forming a whole; their hardness is comparable to that of the door, so breaking through the walls to enter is no less difficult than destroying the door.

However, the house has a major weakness: the junction where the walls, whose hardness is similar to the door's, meet the door is much more fragile.

To break through the walls or the door requires Supernatural Fifth Rank strength and would cause significant destruction; if there are any traps inside the house, this could likely result in massive losses.

But if the target is set at the junction between the door and the wall, only Supernatural Fourth Rank strength is needed to destroy it.

Moreover, the disturbance would be much smaller, allowing the entire door to be taken out intact, with a lower chance of triggering traps and thus unlikely to cause major losses.

Moreover, the disturbance would be much smaller; one could remove an entire large door intact, reducing the chance of triggering the trap, and it would likely not cause major damage.

Su Hao waved his hand, and the six-armed one-eyed giant behind him stepped forward to stand before the door; according to the appraisal results Su Hao shared, it quickly located the weak junction.

He lightly swung the axe in his hand, creating a crack at that weak point.

He then repeated the process, chopping around the weak point where the door meets the wall, carving out a square crack.

Next, his six arms grabbed the door frame, he roared and pulled outward, yanking the entire door free intact, revealing an entrance into the house.

This door, which would give even Supernatural Fourth Rank cultivators a headache, was thus cleverly bypassed by Su Hao.

Su Hao stored the door in his Storage Bag, then strode inside without worrying about possible traps.

Now that half of the city is covered by a sea of blood, even if something capable of instantly killing him lurks inside, it cannot pose any effective threat to him.

Since there's nothing to worry about, there's no need to waste time.

What Su Hao didn't expect was that, after having to enter this place and go through so many traps and trials, the interior of this house contained not a single trap.

After entering from the doorway, Su Hao arrived at a vast hall that contained nothing at all.

On the surrounding walls were nine doors identical in appearance, each bearing a different number.

According to the appraisal results, the material used for these doors is exactly the same as that of the entrance door, making them equally hard to destroy.

But they share the same weakness: the junction where the wall meets the door.

The six-armed one-eyed giant repeated the process and quickly removed the nearest door.

Behind this door was no longer an empty space.

Upon entering through the opening, what came into view was a large quantity of superb supernatural items, casually piled around the room.

After entering through the cave mouth, what met the eyes was a large quantity of dazzling supernatural items, casually piled up everywhere in the room.

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

……

【Vajra Pearl】

Supernatural Grade: Third Rank

……

【Sinking Wood】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

……

After using the Item Appraisal Technique to make a rough assessment, Su Hao knew the value of this warehouse.

Although most of these items are only Supernatural First Rank, keep in mind that this is a city of giants; even this single room is larger than the treasuries of many forces.

Even if about half of the items are only Supernatural First Rank, faced with such a huge quantity, it is still a tremendous fortune.

Moreover, this room contains a considerable number of Supernatural Second and Third Rank items, and even two bottles of magic potion with their corresponding formulas.

To put it bluntly, just this single warehouse is enough to cause an earth-shaking change for any faction.

Even a power like Divine Xia would gain a tremendous boost from the treasures in this warehouse.

Even if it is a power like Divine Xia, the treasures in this warehouse can likewise bring them a tremendous boost.

Unfortunately, without Supernatural Grade Fourth Rank strength, one doesn't even have the qualification to enter this space. Without Supernatural Grade Fifth Rank strength, even if one manages to enter this space by luck, the outcome is only a dead end, let alone obtaining these treasures.

Among the known forces in this world, only Su Hao has the qualification to enter.

It must be said that after the Divine Summer discovered this place, they did not rush in, nor did they conceive the idea of monopolizing it; this was the most correct decision they made.

After Su Hao glanced around, he left the room without storing these treasures in his Storage Bag.

His Storage Bag is large enough to indeed store all these treasures, but the Storage Bag lacks a sorting function.

His Storage Bag is already messy enough; if he puts these things in, finding anything later would likely take considerable time.

As for how to carry these things away, Su Hao currently has two ideas.

One is to find a way to pack all these items, then put them into the Storage Bag, and after returning to his territory, dump them out and have Ling Xue'er and the others help organize them.

Given that there are not a few items in this room, finding something capable of wrapping them all up is also not a simple task.

Therefore he leans more toward another idea: to find more Storage Bags and store all of them inside Storage Bags.

Although Su Hao has no extra Storage Bags on him, there are nevertheless eight doors in this house.

If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining eight rooms likely contain similar treasuries, so finding Storage Bags should not be difficult; perhaps even the secrets hidden in this city are also in these rooms.

Afterward, Su Hao walked out of the room and had the six-armed one-eyed giant tear down the adjacent door.

As he had expected, the No. 2 room is also a treasury.

In the No. 1 treasury, the stored items are varied in type—some are materials for forging, some are weapons that can be used directly, and there are also armor seeds, etc.

In the No. 2 treasury, the items are relatively uniform, all being construction materials.

Among them, Supernatural Grade First Rank accounts for nearly half, the remainder mostly Second Rank, with only a small portion being Third Tier.

Moreover, in the No. 2 treasury, Su Hao also found several dozen bottles of magic potions, as well as a magic potion formula.

【First Rank Builder Magic Potion】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: After using this magic potion, there is a certain probability of obtaining the Supernatural Grade sequence of a First Rank Builder, but it is also possible to succumb to the potion's power and degenerate into an unconscious structure due to inability to resist its force.

……

【First Rank Builder Magic Potion Formula】

【Second Rank Builder Magic Potion Formula】

【Third Tier Builder Magic Potion Formula】

……

These magic potions and their corresponding formulas were Su Hao's original purpose for this trip.

Obviously, this room is Suolu's treasury; it's unknown whether the treasury was tampered with or if he gave Su Hao false information, causing the treasury to appear in this place.

But these matters are no longer important; these things ultimately ended up in his hands.

What he did not expect was that this treasury contained not only First Rank Builder magic potions, but a full thirty-two bottles of them.

More importantly, there are also Builder magic potion formulas here, forming a complete set from First Rank to Third Tier.

Although the materials for refining the magic potions are not present in this warehouse, this is not a major problem; his base now enjoys great prestige and renown throughout the world.

As long as he knows the names of these materials and offers a sufficiently tempting price, sooner or later someone will provide him with the relevant information.

Furthermore, this warehouse already contains thirty-two ready-made First Rank Builder magic potions, enough to last for a period of time.

Adding these precious construction materials, using them as a core, one can build many valuable structures.

Su Hao stored the magic potions and their formulas in his Storage Bag, then turned and headed toward the third room.

The No. 3 treasury's contents remain uniformly singular—all are Storage Bags.

Moreover, these Storage Bags are not the common trash grade; even the poorest among them has a storage space of fifty meters by fifty meters by fifty meters.

Storage Bags reaching Supernatural Grade Third Tier even attain the maximum space of five hundred meters by five hundred meters by five hundred meters.

With these Storage Bags, transporting the items from these warehouses is no problem.

Su Hao smiled faintly, then with a slight thought summoned two to three hundred undead creatures, having them hold these Storage Bags.

Storage Bags cannot be placed inside other Storage Bags, making infinite nesting impossible.

If it were someone else, merely the Storage Bags of this single warehouse would require many trips to carry them away.

But Su Hao has no such worry, possessing the Skeleton Summoning skill; is he still afraid of a shortage of manpower?

After settling this matter, Su Hao had two of the undead creatures take the Storage Bags and go collect all the items from the No. 1 and No. 2 rooms.

Afterward, the six-armed one-eyed giant sequentially dismantled the remaining seven large doors.

In these rooms, there are likewise large quantities of precious supernatural items stored.

Among them, the rooms Su Hao cares most about are Nos. 6, 7, and 9.

In the No. 6 room, the supernatural items stored are of only one kind—materials related to forging, likewise ranging from First Rank to Third Tier.

However, after Su Hao subdued the dwarves, he certainly lacks no forging materials; although these materials are precious, to him they are merely a nice gain.

What truly concerns Su Hao are some maps drawn on supernatural paper.

Although the characters and symbols on these maps are incomprehensible, by the signs on them he can roughly guess what kind of maps they are.

If nothing unexpected occurs, these should be maps of various precious mineral veins!

Even though this world is now a fusion of multiple worlds, the original world maps are already useless in this new world.

Nevertheless, these maps can still serve as reference; as long as he can locate these mineral veins, Su Hao will basically never lack ore.

In the No. 7 room, the majority of stored items are various types of construction materials; similarly, with the dwarves present, these materials are not overly formal for Su Hao.

But the remaining small portion is different; aside from construction materials, the rest are all blueprints for various supernatural buildings.

With these blueprints, plus sufficient builders and materials, Su Hao can forge a supernatural empire! The No. 9 room stores various different supernatural seeds; what concerns Su Hao most is that in this room there is also a map and a letter.
