The Supreme Treasure Beneath the Imperial Palace, Part 1

"This underground world is really strange; there are many weak evil beasts, and there are also many powerful ones."

Cao Fengqi looked down at the world below and gradually frowned.

Although he had just easily escaped the encirclement of the evil beasts below.

But the evil beasts here are clearly more intelligent than those in other places.

The leader of the evil beasts knows how to surround them and how to weaken them by using the weaker evil beasts first.

"The most important thing is the terrain of this underground world. If I'm really surrounded, I could actually be killed."

The Guilou's digging also takes time.

The group of evil beasts had tried to surround and wear him down little by little, giving him enough time to react.

If those two level 11 evil beasts had charged straight at us, it would have been hard to say what would have happened.

Although Cao Fengqi has already entered the Fifth Sequence, he is not very strong within the Fifth Sequence.

The Twin Star Sect's inheritance of Art of Wind and Thunder also lacks a high-level Wind-Swept Broken Blade.

"This underground world is indeed too dangerous; the risks are far too high."

Cao Fengqi muttered to himself.

Fortunately, he had a cheat code that allowed him to detect danger in advance. If it were anyone else or any other force entering this underground world, their chances of survival would be extremely slim.

"However, since the underground world is too dangerous, I'll explore it from the surface."

Cao Fengqi smiled slightly and used his cheat code to scan the ground. If he found any treasure, he could simply have the Guilou dig a hole.

Wasting more time is better than being in a dangerous place.

Thinking to himself, Cao Fengqi glanced around.

The ground here is still desolate, with nothing but some withered trees and artificial hills.

Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he summoned the Abyssal Bone Warhorse.

[Battle Pet: Abyssal Bone Warhorse]

[Level: 10]

[Constitution: 11021]

[Mental Strength: 2545]

[Talent: Devour]

[Skills (Physical and Magic Resistance) (Hell Abyssal Fire) (Abyssal Bone Trample) (Dark Abyss Breath) (Abyssal Bone Charge) (Dark Bone Wind Rend) (Death Pact Bone Defense) (Nether Abyss Foot Binding) (Annihilation Abyssal Flame Domain)]

[Skill 10, Bone Armor Cycle: Condenses a five-meter-thick, twenty-meter-long bone armor that rotates around the body, defending against physical, magical, and mental attacks. It lasts for five minutes if not breached; recharge time is 10 minutes.]

Upgrading the Abyssal Bone Warhorse from level 9 to level 10 only adds one extremely powerful defensive skill.

Cao Fengqi, seated on his Abyssal Bone Warhorse, had a sudden thought and ordered it to move forward.

[A 7-kilometer radius has been scanned, revealing 159 new Tier 1 supplies, 122 Tier 2 supplies... 12 Tier 7 supplies, 44 Tier 8 supplies, 9 Tier 9 supplies, 1 Tier 10 supply, 1 Tier 11 supply, and 1 Tier 12 supply.]

He hadn't gone far when the external scanner detected something, and Cao Fengqi's gaze fell on the level 12 item.

"I also scanned a level 12 item in the underground world just now; it should be the same one."

His gaze fell on the direction of the level 12 supplies, he patted the Abyssal Bone Warhorse, and with a thought, gave it an order.

"Roar!"

The Abyssal Bone Warhorse let out a low growl and quickly moved to the right front.

"Okay, stop!"

After advancing about three kilometers, Cao Fengqi looked at the level 12 supplies six kilometers below, his eyes gleaming.

"Guilou, dig a hole!"

With a wave of his arm, he summoned the Guilou from the Beast Token space.

"Roar!"

The Guilou let out a low growl, and its claws, longer than its body, dug rapidly downwards.

"I can give up on level 11 resources, but I have to dig up a level 12 treasure to see what it's like."

Cao Fengqi murmured to himself, looking on expectantly.

The underground world is dangerous, so he'll forge his own path through the surface world.

After all, he has a cheat code that allows him to scan for treasures.

The Guilou dug very quickly, but just as it was about to reach the treasure, a red warning suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of golden energy erupted from the ground and struck the Guilou that was digging the hole.

Cao Fengqi saw this and his gaze sharpened.

"Return to the Herd!"

Without any hesitation, he summoned the Guilou back.

"Boom boom boom!"

A dull, resounding crash came from underground, followed by a beam of golden light shooting out of the hole dug by the Guilou and soaring into the sky.

"..."

Cao Fengqi's gaze sharpened. "Such a powerful attack; it must be at least a level 11 evil beast."

"Okay, let's go."

The level 12 treasure was guarded by a powerful evil beast, and Cao Fengqi was filled with disappointment.

However, he did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the Abyssal Bone Warhorse to move forward and deeper into the center of the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital.

[A 7km radius has been scanned. 132 new Level 1 supplies, 99 Level 2 supplies... 17 Level 7 supplies, 69 Level 8 supplies, 55 Level 9 supplies, 38 Level 10 supplies, 17 Level 11 supplies, and 5624 Evil Beast supplies have been added.]

As we continued walking upwards, the information from the external scanning system kept coming in.

"18 level 10 treasures and 7 level 11 treasures, that's quite a lot. However, many of these level 11 resources are moving, so they should be weapons from the evil beasts."

Cao Fengqi looked at it and shook his head.

There are too many evil beasts below; going inside is too unknown and too dangerous.

"Huh, another level 12 treasure has been detected here. This treasure is stationary, and no evil beast resources have been detected."

Cao Fengqi another five or six kilometers deeper and his cheat program detected a level 12 treasure.

"Guilou..."

He was just about to have the Guilou start digging when he thought for a moment and decided to return to reality to rest first.

The Return to the Herd skill has a five-hour cooldown, and it has just been used.

Without this skill, if the Guilou is found to be an 11th-level evil beast below, it will be instantly killed.

There's only one Guilou, but it's extremely useful; if it gets killed, it'll be a huge loss.

To be on the safe side, wait until the Return to the Herd skill is off cooldown before attempting it.

Having made up his mind, he went straight back to reality to rest.

"Time's up, start digging!"

Five hours passed quickly. Cao Fengqi reappeared in the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital, summoned the Guilou, and gave the order.

"Roar!"

The Guilou quickly burrowed into the ground and began digging downwards.

"Buzz!"

When the Guilou was 50 meters away from the level 12 treasure, the cheat's warning sounded again.

An invisible spiritual arrow ignored the soil on the ground and attacked the Guilou.

"Return to the Herd!"

Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he quickly summoned the Guilou.

The spiritual arrows gradually dissipated as they saw their target disappear.

"Damn it, there's a level 11 evil spirit beast of the magic type below! Holy crap, there are just too many powerful evil beasts beneath this Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital!"

Cao Fengqi's expression darkened as his Return to the Herd skill, which had just cooled down, began to recharge. He couldn't help but mutter curses under his breath.

"..."

"Since underground treasures are hard to come by anyway, why don't I just go to the Mechanical Empire's Imperial Palace and scan it myself?"

Cao Fengqi suddenly had a thought and felt it was feasible.

Since it's all about luck, let's just go to the very heart of the entire Mechanical Empire.
