At the end of the passageway was a stone wall, carved with nine runic characters of unknown meaning. Each stroke was deeply etched into the stone, and a blood-red energy flowed within the grooves, making the nine runic characters look incredibly mysterious. Sun Fei stood quietly before the stone wall, and he was surprised to find that he seemed to have seen these runes somewhere before, but they were definitely not the kind of stone runes that could be obtained by Diablo World.
Then, Sun Fei did something very much in line with his nature of taking advantage of others.
He switched back to [ Barbarian Mode ] and used brute force to cut the nine mystical runes from the stone wall into pieces using [ Bul-Kathos' Children ], storing them in his storage ring. He planned to take them to the Diablo World for Akara and the white-bearded old man Cain, the two 'scientists,' to study their origins.
After cutting off nine rune characters, Sun Fei turned and walked towards the right side of the stone wall.
The passageway makes a ninety-degree turn here, and the sacred and dreamlike colors we saw earlier emanate from here.
After turning the corner, there were no more traps or mechanisms in the passageway, so Sun Fei remained in [ Barbarian Mode ].
The passageway made nine consecutive 90-degree turns, and then a spacious underground hall appeared in front of it.
Upon entering the underground hall, a dazzling, mesmerizing hazy light enveloped him, illuminating every detail of the hall. Sun Fei was momentarily stunned. A dreamlike mountain, over twenty meters high, made of gold coins, silver coins, gems, jade artifacts, and magic stones shimmering with various colors, came into view.
This is estimated to be the wealth that the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps has amassed over the years.
Blood Blade would do anything to amass wealth, committing acts far more sordid and despicable than the capture and sale of slaves. The corruption of the imperial legal system provided opportunities for evildoers. With the support of the powerful noble Fren Family, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps has committed countless crimes over the past decade. They no longer deserve to be called mercenaries, but rather a group of lowly, shameless, and greedy bandits. Over the years, their vampire-like plundering has amassed a staggering amount of wealth.
Moreover, Sun Fei was certain that what he was seeing was only a part of it. If the wealth that Blood Blade had already offered to the Fren Family and other forces in the empire were included, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps's accumulated wealth would be an unimaginable treasure.
Such a treasure is enough to buy a hundred Chambord City.
amazing!
Unbelievable!
Looking at the mountain of wealth and magic stones before him, Sun Fei felt his blood boil.
Anyone who suddenly sees such a huge treasure would probably lose their composure.
However, Sun Fei gradually calmed himself down.
The main reason the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps was so easily destroyed was due to the arrangements made by the Alluring Witch Paris. All the major powers in the capital, including the Fren Family, abandoned this notorious bandit group. This gave Sun Fei the opportunity to wreak havoc in the heart of the capital without interference from the army or other powerful figures. According to the previous agreement between the various powers, Sun Fei was entitled to 30% of the profits. If he were to monopolize these treasures now, he would inevitably anger the other major powers in the capital. Although Sun Fei wasn't afraid, the price he would have to pay would be far outweighed.
Sun Fei isn't Dongfang Bubai; he doesn't want to be an enemy of the entire world.
Moreover, with the Horadric Cube in the Diablo World being such a heaven-defying existence, Sun Fei can use the difference in the exchange of various magic stones between the real world and the Diablo World to synthesize all kinds of top-grade magic stones without limit. Ordinary gold coins and wealth are not very attractive to Sun Fei, who has a Diablo World that is like a strategic base behind him.
Sun Fei did not take a single gold coin from the mountain of treasure.
He bypassed the small hill made of gold coins, gems, jade artifacts, and magic stones, and went to the back of the hall.
After visiting Baoshan, there were indeed other wondrous things.
These were over a dozen rows of fully-fledged weapon racks, each rack displaying different weapons: armor, swords, Long Spear, warhorse armor, and all sorts of strangely shaped weapons. These armored weapons were undoubtedly among the finest of the finest. Sun Fei casually pulled a longsword from the rack, flicked his wrist, and a series of swift, sharp sword strikes filled the air, instantly filling his body with a chilling aura. A faint sword hum could be heard, and the paper-thin blade moved through the air like silver threads. With a gentle flick, the blade rang out, and a strand of hair fell onto the blade, silently being sliced in two.
Fine sword!
Sun Fei couldn't help but sigh softly.
He put the longsword back in its place and then took out several other weapons from the weapon rack. They were all exceptionally sharp, capable of cutting hair and slicing through iron like mud. They were clearly made by a master blacksmith. The armor was also very well designed, protecting every vulnerable part of the body. The joints were padded with soft magical beast fur, making it lightweight, flexible, and surprisingly defensive. Even among the empire's ten main battle legions and the Imperial Guard, only a few elite personal guards would possess such weapons and equipment.
However, Sun Fei remained unmoved, put the weapon back in its place, and continued walking deeper into the underground hall.
Within the mysterious mountain Underground Grotto Labyrinth City Chambord City lies an inexhaustible supply of [ Demon Remains ] and [ Black Iron Essence ]. Furthermore, the superb memories of Charsi, the blacksmith of [ Rogue Encampment ], allow him to forge armor and weapons of divine power. Moreover, the materials used in forging these weapons are naturally superior to those used in Dou Weapon and magical weapons, making them several times higher in quality than the materials used in these other weapons. In comparison, even the sharpest of these weapons are merely 'bricks and tiles'.
Behind the weapon rack are six racks.
This surprised Sun Fei. He hadn't expected that these evil and greedy bandits, the Blood Blade Mercenaries, would also be cultured people who "study hard and improve themselves every day."
However, when Sun Fei saw the names of these manuscripts, he quickly understood.
These six shelves were filled with Dou Qi manuals, all of which were of high quality and included Dou Qi techniques with considerable destructive power. In particular, the last antique shelf, which exuded a faint fragrance, even contained several rare magician cultivation notes, one of which was the lifelong cultivation experience of a Six-Star Class grand magician.
These things are truly an invaluable asset.
That book, titled "[ Deciphering the Secrets of Low-Level Spatial Magic ]," a cultivation manual for Six-Star Class grand magicians, would definitely be considered a top-tier treasure even in the largest auction house in St. Saint Petersburg, the capital city. It would undoubtedly cause countless powerful individuals and wealthy tycoons to fight tooth and nail for it.
So this time, Sun Fei wasn't as calm as he had been the previous two times.
Without hesitation, he stuffed all the Dou Qi manuals and magic notes, along with the shelves holding them, into his storage ring. Chambord City needed most for its rise wasn't money, but precisely these things.
As Sun Fei walked deeper into the underground hall, he saw some well-preserved food and water, some slightly frozen fresh meat, vegetables and fruits stored in wooden boxes with simple ice magic arrays, as well as brand new, unused cooking utensils, and even a small kitchen that, though small, was fully equipped... The food and water were enough to sustain one person for at least a month.
"Is someone planning to use this place as a refuge?"
Sun Fei was secretly puzzled.
Sun Fei was unaware that the leader of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps was indeed a ruthless and cunning man. He knew he had committed countless crimes over the years and offended many powerful forces, so from the very beginning, he had been preparing for his escape route. He had been planning for a long time, and this underground hall had existed for a long time. He discovered it by chance and secretly modified the broadsword to complete it. From beginning to end, only he knew of its existence. The Blood Blade leader's original intention was to accumulate enough wealth and obtain a King title through the Fren Family so that he could flee the capital, change his identity, and enjoy the rest of his life in peace. Therefore, he prepared so many swords, treasures, and Dou Qi arts manuals. These were all for the Blood Blade leader to build his own country in the future. At the same time, being naturally suspicious, he was also always on guard. If the Blood Blade faced a sudden danger of destruction, he could hide here for a period of time, and once the danger passed, he could change his identity and name East Mountain.
Who knew that Sun Fei today was so sudden, all of Sun Fei's painstaking preparations were rendered useless before Inzaghi ambushed him and stabbed him to death outside.
This may be retribution for the many evil deeds committed by this ruthless man!
All his painstaking preparations ultimately benefited someone else, allowing his archenemy Sun Fei to reap the rewards.
After passing the food storage area, the light gradually dimmed as you walked forward. At the deepest part of the hall was a large, bottomless pit, dark and filled with a chilling, gloomy atmosphere. No one knew what lay beneath.
Sun Fei switched to [ Sorceress Mode ], and with a gentle shake of his giant battle staff, a flame appeared out of thin air and slowly sank into the black pit.
The matter at hand suddenly became clear.
Sun Fei looked down and his expression changed drastically.
It turned out that this pitch-black giant pit was densely packed with countless white skeletons. When illuminated by the firelight, a patch of eerie blue phosphorescent flames suddenly shot out, as if a group of wronged ghosts were screaming and rushing towards them in an instant. A sinister aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.
"The owners of these skeletons must have died unjustly, and with a great injustice, to create this strange phenomenon resembling the spirits of the dead. But I wonder why they died here?"
