Desert Royal Palace

Bibi Dong has never followed the rules, so if the treasure is here, she will definitely tell Hu Liena and the other two.

The fact that the treasure has not only not been taken away by the three, but has also attracted most of the Exiles here speaks volumes.

Chen Nan and his companions weren't exactly bright, so they immediately asked Hunter to confirm the truth of the matter.

Hunter was based on hearsay, but the large number of people gathered here indirectly testifies to the veracity of the intelligence.

Wu Qi disagreed, and Chen Nan's team got involved.

"Think about it carefully, everyone. If there really are a vast amount of treasures here, why doesn't the Spirit Hall send Titled Douluo to seize them?"

"Even if we assume the Spirit Hall doesn't value the treasures here, what's the point of us seizing them?"

This is a desert isolated from the world. Gold and silver, which only have trading value in the human world, are worth far less here than a bottle of clean drinking water.

Exiles do not possess Soul Tool, and gold and silver valuables are extremely heavy; carrying them would only waste their energy and increase their burden.

Moreover, they can't get out anyway, so what's the point of seizing so many treasures now?

"Even if we obtain cultivation treasures, so what? The Soul Power in the air here is extremely scarce, and the cultivation speed is very slow, which will not allow everyone to advance in a short period of time."

"Instead of getting involved immediately, it's better to observe the situation from the sidelines and act when the time is right."

If a suitable treasure comes along, Wu Qi and his companions will definitely make their move.

After all, they weren't Exiles; they could take the treasure with them after completing their mission.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Nan realized it made sense.

However, the other members of the team may not share their perspective.

After an unsuccessful attempt to communicate, the team disbanded on the spot.

The Exiles ' squads have no camaraderie; they're all driven by self-interest.

Even if these people have been in the squad for months, they won't show any mercy.

After the group dispersed, the others mingled with the crowd below and set up camp, while Chen Nan, Hunter, and Wu Qi remained on a distant high slope to observe the situation.

Chen Nan asked eagerly, "Brother Little Wu, you're the smartest one here. We can't just sit here and wait for others to take the treasure, can we?"

Wu Qi shook his head. "No, first we need to determine what kind of treasure we need."

"For us, Soul Tool are definitely the first choice, as they can store a large amount of supplies for us. Secondly, we need miscellaneous items that can help us survive."

"Don't even consider gold and silver jewelry. Unless you have a high-capacity Soul Tool, carrying it around will only be a burden."

Hunter agreed, "That's true. If we squeeze into the crowd right away, we'll inevitably be caught in a bloodbath when the treasure opens."

"It would be better to wait until these people have fought it out before we make our move and pick up the scraps."

Having determined their objective, the group set up simple Camp, preparing to move out and retreat at any time.

Inside the Camp, Wu Qi and the other two were talking quietly.

"Wu Ge, I have a feeling something's fishy going on."

During this period, Qiangu Changkong has made great progress. He no longer only considers superficial issues as before, but has learned to conduct in-depth analysis.

He didn't believe that there wasn't something fishy going on between the Golden Blade Soul Douluo and the three members of the Golden Generation spreading this news at the same time.

Wu Qi pondered for a moment, then said, "If this is a hoax, with so many Exiles gathered here, fighting is inevitable. It's likely the Spirit Hall is using this to control the population of the Lost Land."

Whether it is true or not, he has no way of verifying it.

Once you're on the chessboard, you can only move one step at a time, trying to avoid risks as much as possible.

For the next ten days or so, there was no movement in the vicinity.

After some investigation, Wu Qi and his group roughly figured out some of the details.

It was indeed as Hunter said; Hu Liena and her two companions had been to this place, and they were the ones who brought the first group of Exiles to this area.

As the news spread, more and more Exiles gathered here.

The earliest group of people have been waiting here for over a year and still haven't given up.

As for why Hu Liena and the other two were not attacked, it's easy to understand.

The Exiles had no way out, so even the Gold Token were useless to them.

Moreover, Hu Liena and her two companions are quite strong, and the Exiles may not have the ability to kill them.

The treasures of this place, as they were passed down by word of mouth, became increasingly mysterious.

Even more extreme claims have been made that the treasures here can help Soul Master break through to the Titled Douluo in a short period of time.

Once they break through, it means freedom, so it's no wonder the Exiles are so enthusiastic.

Of course, Wu Qi had no reason to spoil their fun; he simply observed everything from the sidelines.

More than twenty days passed.

That night, a quicksand vortex appeared on the Sand Land, and a small team's Camp was completely swept up in it and buried under the desert.

Upon noticing the commotion, chaos erupted in the Exiles ' Camp as they scattered and fled.

Wu Qi and his group, who were positioned on high ground, easily noticed the situation.

When a whirlpool appears in the Sand Land, the surrounding sandstorms subside significantly, and Wu Qi's eyesight is sharp enough to see every corner within it.

"The Sand Land have collapsed; the treasure is likely underground. It's estimated that more collapses will occur until the entire royal city is revealed."

All of this is just speculation.

According to current rumors, there is indeed Royal Palace underground. Whether this is true or not remains unknown.

More and more quicksand eddies appeared in the Sand Land, soon revealing part of the building's ruins.

Everyone became even more certain that a treasure that had never been seen before was indeed buried beneath this surface.

Their eyes gleamed with a burning desire and greed, as if the treasure were already theirs.

"Damn, there really is a treasure!"

Qiangu Changkong couldn't help but curse, his confusion deepening at the same time.

If there truly is a treasure, why have the experts from the Spirit Hall never appeared? And why didn't the Spirit Hall take the treasure away sooner?

No one could answer this question for them; they could only wait until their training was over and they returned to the Spirit Hall to ask their grandfathers.

"Wu Ge, what do you say?" Chen Ping and Qiangu Changkong Kong both looked at Wu Qi.

Chen Nan and Hunter couldn't help but turn their gazes to Wu Qi, realizing that the latter's abilities far exceeded their expectations.

With treasure right before his eyes, how could he remain calm and collected? Could such a person be Exiles?

This made them suspicious of the three men's true origins.

Wu Qi frowned, though he felt an urge to seize the treasure, he was trying hard to restrain himself.

"The situation is unclear, let's wait and see!"

If a city is buried under sand and gravel, then once it is submerged, no one inside will be able to escape!

Therefore, he wanted to see the direction in which the sand and gravel were flowing back so that he could plan an evacuation route.

The receding sands will take some time, and the city buried beneath the sand will gradually reveal its full form.

Some eager treasure hunters took advantage of this opportunity to venture deeper into the area.

The treasure ignited the greed in people's hearts, making a bloodbath inevitable.
