Chapter 935 Treasure
Chapter 935 Treasure
At the stone house entrance of Yu Linglong, Ling Feng took out a white round disk.
Previously, he and An Xue were mysteriously teleported away, but now, he had already figured out how to use the disk—it only required infusing it with Spiritual Power to activate the Formation inside.
"Get ready, we are about to depart!"
Ling Feng spoke and waited for Li Fei’er, Yu Linglong, and the others to nod before immediately activating the disk.
A flash of white light followed by a strong beam enveloped everyone and then they vanished instantly!
After changing locations, Ling Feng felt a chill and then noticed the surrounding light was dim, prompting him to look around.
The sky was dark and misty, obscured by fog within a hundred meters.
As for their current location, it was surrounded by broken walls and ruins, resembling the wreckage of a town!
"What is this place? Why does it feel so strange?" Li Fei’er asked.
Li Yun’er sniffed: "There’s even a scent of seawater!"
Yu Linglong also looked around curiously and walked forward a few steps: "This is a huge ruin, stretching for dozens of kilometers!"
"Can your Divine Sense reach that far?" Ling Feng asked.
"No, I can only extend about a kilometer; it’s just a feeling," Yu Linglong explained.
Ling Feng nodded and withdrew the God Slayer Saber: "Well, since we’re here, let’s find out exactly where we are!"
The group proceeded forward and soon discovered that the scale of the ruins was indeed substantial. Although many buildings had collapsed, it was clear that they were originally very tall, some even exceeding six stories!
And the roads between the buildings were also quite broad, over ten meters wide!
This suggested that in its heyday, this place must have been a major metropolis!
However, judging by the stone construction of the buildings, they definitely were ancient.
Ling Feng expanded his Divine Sense but detected no signs of life; the area for hundreds of meters around him was filled with these ruins.
So, the group wandered aimlessly along the streets for two full hours, yet they observed nothing unusual.
Eventually, out of desperation, Ling Feng suggested they rest for a while since everyone agreed, and Sasha, who was only eight years old, was getting tired.
After reaching a small square, they found a flat area to sit down, and Li Fei’er immediately pulled out a bunch of snacks and drinks from her bracelet.
She and Li Yun’er were still childlike, claiming they prepared them for Sasha, yet they also ate quite a bit!
Ling Feng and Yu Linglong watched, amused, but had no appetite themselves.
"The architecture here is a bit strange. The outside world doesn’t have this style, right?" Yu Linglong inquired.
"I’m not knowledgeable about architecture, but in Huaxia, houses are not built this way; these seem to follow a Western architectural style!" Ling Feng replied.
Both were somewhat puzzled and unsure of their location.
But just then, Li Yun’er suddenly said, "Uncle, there’s something under the building ahead!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng immediately perked up: "What is it?"
"It looks like, gold?"
Li Yun’er wasn’t too sure and spoke hesitantly.
"Could it be a treasure?"
Ling Feng was overjoyed and rushed toward the direction she pointed.
Yu Linglong also followed, chuckling, "It seems like bringing Yun’er here was indeed the right call!"
"I just remembered her ability too, but it’s a pity, it’s not always available, it’s too random!"
Ling Feng smiled and quickly entered the ruins.
The house had completely collapsed, and amidst the broken walls and ruins, they barely found an open space.
But the ground was paved with stone slabs, the thickness of which was unknown, and Li Yun’er followed, saying, "There’s a room underneath here, not very big, with a few chests inside."
"Okay, let me think about how to dig through it!"
Ling Feng took the God Slayer Saber and thrust it straight into the stone slabs.
The blade sank up to the hilt, but still did not penetrate the stone slab.
With no choice, Ling Feng used the saber as a shovel, gradually chipping away at the stone slab.
Sasha quietly sat in the plaza eating snacks, and Li Fei’er also followed, staring intently.
Under the watchful eyes of the three women, Ling Feng worked extremely hard, and soon dug out a round hole with a diameter of forty centimeters.
As soon as the hole was excavated, a musty smell immediately wafted up.
Ling Feng scanned with his Divine Sense and indeed found several black chests below, all made of metal.
Just about to go down, Li Fei’er said, "You’re too broad, and the hole is so small, let me do it!"
"Sure, just be careful."
Since there was no danger below, and Li Fei’er wanted to try an adventure, Ling Feng agreed.
Li Fei’er jumped into the hole, turned around inside, then came out after putting the items into her bracelet.
Then everyone returned to the plaza, and she took out all those chests.
These chests were not small; they were one meter in length and half a meter in height. Seeing large iron chains still attached to the chests, Ling Feng swung his saber to cut them off and then opened the lid.
A flash of gold light passed, and everyone saw the contents piled inside—it was all gold bars!
"Holy mackerel, we’re rich!"
Li Fei’er and Li Yun’er both widened their eyes in amazement.
This one chest of gold must weigh at least two to three hundred kilograms!
Based on the current market price, this chest was worth almost a hundred million.
However, having obtained the gold, Ling Feng lost his initial excitement; he casually picked up a palm-sized gold bar and examined the pattern on it: "So much gold left in the basement without being taken, could it be that the house suddenly collapsed back then?"
"That’s possible, otherwise it wouldn’t have been left here!"
Yu Linglong nodded, looking at the pattern on the gold bar: "What is this drawing?"
"A mark, it might represent the owner of the gold bars, or it could be like a currency symbol, indicating where it was produced."
Ling Feng looked again; the pattern was somewhat peculiar, depicting a strange fish, its meaning unknown.
At that moment, Li Fei’er had already opened another chest, but it was filled not with gold bars, but various jewelry!
The materials were more complicated, including gold, silver, pearls, and gemstones, with the most peculiar being smooth seashells!
Seeing that most of the jewelry designs involved seashells, Ling Feng couldn’t help but say, "It seems this place was originally by the sea!"
"Being close to the sea, they must be familiar with marine products, so many conches and shells suggest it’s not far from the sea, which also explains why there’s a faint fishy smell here!" Yu Linglong nodded.
Seeing Li Fei’er and Li Yun’er rummaging inside, Ling Feng smiled and said, "See anything you like? If you do, just wear it!"
Li Fei’er shook her head, "No, I want to take it back and show it to the sisters, let everyone choose together!"
