Although Su Changqing and the others were recovering, they were also watching Zhang Tao. They were surprised that he had suddenly produced so many boxes, and then their faces filled with astonishment. Was this... storage equipment?

They had to realize that even they, the descendants of the Apex, didn't have such things. Most of these items were given to the second-generation ancestors; they, as the younger generation, were not qualified to possess them.

Of course, if they wanted a Space Ring or the like, they would go to the Land of King Battles to loot them. Many True King Descendants inside still possessed storage equipment. Most of the storage gear in Zhenxing City had been obtained this way.

"Don't you need to recover? I have Energy Stones here for recovery!" Su Changqing reached into his robes, pulled out an Energy Stone, and handed it to Zhang Tao. After all, he knew that martial artists from the outside world were generally not wealthy.

Although this Zhang Tao had storage equipment, it was likely obtained by sheer luck. He had heard that outside, things like Energy Stones were used one gram at a time.

Zhang Tao raised an eyebrow, took the Energy Stone, and tucked it into his Space Ring. "Thanks, Brother Su, but I've already recovered!"

Indeed, Zhang Tao's blood vitality recovery was just that heaven-defying.

Su Changqing's eyes widened. You're already recovered? You just killed so many Rank 7s, and you're back to full strength this quickly? There was no helping it; he had truly never heard of this type of person. But if you were already recovered, why did you take my Energy Stone?

Zhang Tao nodded, ignoring Su Changqing's clear yet foolish gaze. He continued opening his blind boxes. He opened another one and found it actually contained Life Essence; a wave of life energy instantly permeated the entire cave.

"Hiss, this guy is wealthy!" Zhang Tao was overjoyed. He had actually pulled Life Essence. He didn't know which unlucky soul it had belonged to, but it felt great.

He took a look; there was about five kilograms of it. Zhang Tao immediately took out a few bottles, divided it up, tossed a bottle to each person, and said, "Use this to recover; it's faster!"

Li Zhen opened his eyes at this moment, glanced at Zhang Tao, and said, "I killed the one this box came from."

Zhang Tao rolled his eyes and retorted immediately, "Bullshit!" With so many boxes, on what grounds could you claim this one was yours?

Li Zhen hummed twice and didn't speak again. He had only killed two people, and he had seen clearly that Zhang Tao was the one who looted the corpses.

Zhang Tao continued opening boxes. There were Energy Liquids and Energy Fruits inside. Overall, the harvest was not small.

"No wonder you all say the Land of King Battles has great opportunities. It really is true!" Zhang Tao said with a smile.

Su Changqing opened his mouth and glanced at Li Zhen. The question in his eyes was obvious: Is this the 'great opportunity' you told him about? You damn genius, did he misunderstand? Are all martial artists from the outside this reckless?

Li Zhen was silent. What Zhang Tao said didn't seem wrong, though.

Rather than painstakingly searching for some ethereal opportunity, it was far more cost-effective to kill a few more True King Descendants from the Catacombs.

After Zhang Tao took out the Energy Fruits he didn't recognize, he asked, "Does anyone know what these things are?"

There was no helping it; Zhang Tao's knowledge in this area was pitifully lacking.

"This is a Pine Cone; it can increase spiritual power! This is..." Su Changqing was quite knowledgeable and quickly told Zhang Tao the names and effects of these items.

Zhang Tao nodded. They were all good things. The Catacombs were truly overflowing with wealth!

An hour later, Zhang Tao asked, "How is your recovery coming along?"

Su Changqing and the others checked themselves and nodded. Zhang Tao then said, "Let's go find them and see if we have a chance to pull off another big score!"

Su Changqing remained expressionless. Looking at how Li Zhen was following Zhang Tao's lead, they felt that whatever he said, they would just go along with it.

Thus, the group flew out of the cave entrance and began their search. Suddenly, the world shifted, and they found themselves appearing in a small forest.

Su Changqing explained, "The terrain here changes at irregular intervals, but as long as you are prepared, you generally won't be teleported away!"

Zhang Tao nodded. Just now, they had felt a sensation and mobilized their blood vitality. As a result, the surroundings shifted, but they remained in place, even though the area had turned into a small forest.

Of course, if you didn't mobilize your blood vitality, you might very well be teleported to who knows where.

"Eh, what's that over there?" Zhang Tao pointed to a somewhat dilapidated area in the distance.

Su Changqing took a look and said, "That is the opportunity we came here to find. I heard that it contains originless spiritual power and Indestructible Substance, and even cultivation techniques and storage equipment."

Zhang Tao realized, "That place is already ruined, which means the opportunity there has already been taken by someone, right?"

Su Changqing nodded. Once Zhang Tao understood, he said, "Then let's continue."

Just as the group was about to continue flying, a Rank 7 flew across the sky. Zhang Tao's eyes lit up, and he rushed up immediately. Su Changqing and the others followed closely, and soon they had the Catacombs Rank 7 surrounded.

Zhang Tao hoisted his God-Slaying Blade onto his shoulder and laughed, "Oh, look, a straggler. Tell us, where is that Zhu Wusheng?"

This Catacombs Rank 7 was terrified. Why had he come out? Wasn't it to track Zhang Tao and the others? As it turned out, he had been surrounded by them instead.

"Over there..." The Catacombs Rank 7 immediately betrayed the location of Zhu Wusheng and the others. He only hoped that Zhang Tao and his group wouldn't kill him.

Clearly, he was overthinking it. The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Tao had already slashed down with his blade.

Whether he spoke or not, Zhang Tao wasn't going to let him go.

After cutting down the Catacombs Rank 7, Zhang Tao said, "Very good. Regardless of whether he was telling the truth, we need to plan this out. Li Zhen, you go find some Monster Beasts first. Since the other side has too many people, we really won't be able to handle them well without Monster Beasts to assist!"

Li Zhen nodded, and Su Changqing and the others had no objections. Since the man had the ability, they could only listen to him.

Although they were from Zhenxing City, they weren't stupid. They knew Zhang Tao would surely be extraordinary in the future, and they wouldn't hold him back.

After Li Zhen left, Zhang Tao landed and asked, "Everyone, how do we get to the Rank 6 Domain?"

Su Changqing was stunned. Zhang Tao wanted to go to the Rank 6 Domain? Although he couldn't grasp Zhang Tao's train of thought, he still said, "Sense the Chaos Origin here, and you can find the weak points. Find a way to tear them open, and generally, you can pass through."

Zhang Tao closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, then nodded. He already had a plan in mind.

After resolving the situation in the Rank 7 Domain, he still wanted to make a trip to the Rank 6 Domain. Killing a few more would be a gain, and who knew, he might even get some benefits. After all, the True King Descendants of the Catacombs were all very wealthy.

Just like that, before long, Li Zhen returned and said, "There are Monster Beasts over there, but not many. They'll be here in about ten minutes."
