Clues about the storage artifacts

Lost.

As more and more people enter...

At this moment, the vast road and the boundless water were teeming with people.

Figures were either running swiftly on the road or swimming frantically in the water, all exerting their utmost effort to reach their seemingly endless destination as quickly as possible.

Zi--

In the water, another round of electric shocks ended.

Every figure in the water froze, their movements halting, accompanied by grimacing expressions and taut strands of hair.

Finally, when the current disappeared, it re-entered the water.

Those who are electrocuted for the first time either grit their teeth and say that this place is really cruel, almost electrocuting them to death in this water.

Or perhaps they sighed with complex emotions, realizing that mortals with their physical bodies are ultimately worlds apart from cultivators, even Lightning Tribulation cannot compare to this.

The others, who had already experienced the thrill of the water, reacted much less strongly, simply pushing harder to get to shore as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, after experiencing the lightning strike, Gu De and his group looked at each other and quickly came to almost the same conclusion.

The force of this lightning strike was noticeably weaker than the last one, unlike the first one which completely stunned them.

Gu De listened to their conversation without saying anything.

However, he felt the same way.

However, despite reducing his strength along the way, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Now that he's in the water, no matter how the lightning came about, he has no way to deal with it in his current state.

He didn't really like this feeling.

On the other side.

The people of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom.

Someone spoke up in exasperation.

Here we go again!

"It's only been a short while, and these lightning strikes seem endless, don't they?"

"Damn it, after all these years of cultivation, I never thought I'd be bothered by this little bit of lightning."

Hearing his outburst, someone next to him patted him on the shoulder and said something.

"This must be the purpose of the underground test."

"Normally, we wouldn't care about these things."

"But that was because we had cultivation and various methods. Now that we don't have those methods, it's the best time to see someone's true character."

"Keep moving forward after you've finished your journey; getting to the end as soon as possible is the right thing to do."

"You make it sound so easy."

The person being comforted scoffed.

"You're wearing lightning-resistant armor, how about we switch?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the man's clothes.

The man immediately dodged to create some distance and said.

"Your outfit is much better than mine; I can't let you suffer a loss."

"Pah!"

The man spat viciously, looking exasperated.

"This thunderbolt armor I'm wearing."

"I just don't know what other difficulties might arise, otherwise I would have thrown it away long ago."

Listening to their conversation, the person not far away raised his hand to look at the storage device in his hand, sighed, and then said.

"This Emperor Road is too restrictive."

"It's bad enough that we can't use our willpower or cultivation, but we can't even use our own things."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have worn that armor that could withstand wind and lightning!"

After saying that, the man glanced helplessly at the storage container.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he turned to look at the others.

Something's not right.

There's a problem.

"Take a look at your storage rings or other storage items. Have they changed from what they used to be?"

Those who had just made a move immediately raised their hands or took it out from around their necks to examine it carefully.

Soon someone frowned and spoke up.

"It really does seem a little different now."

How so?

Immediately, many eyes turned to look.

The man pointed to the item in his hand and said...

"This storage ring of mine was passed down from my ancestors."

"I've worn it on my wrist since I was a child. I know exactly what it looks like and what flaws it has."

"But now all those flaws have disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, many people showed expressions of surprise.

Many people immediately began to carefully examine the appearance of their storage containers.

However, these are everyday items that we carry with us all the time. Whether they have flaws or not, we wouldn't even notice them, and even if they do, we'd mostly forget about them.

But some people quickly noticed something amiss and spoke up.

"I think so too. I clearly remember there should have been a crack."

"Yeah, me too."

As the group chatted and their influence grew, more and more people began checking their storage items.

What's going on?

"Could it be that once we enter the underground world, even these things will change?"

Someone frowned and spoke up.

"That's impossible."

Some people shook their heads.

"If the damage is more severe or the flaws are more obvious, that's normal."

"After all, even we've become mortals, so these things are likely to become mortals too, and naturally they can't withstand such a lightning strike."

"But to say it's actually gotten better is a bit strange."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Could it be that all of our changed artifacts have been replaced with something else?"

These words were like a stone thrown into water, startling everyone around.

At that moment, many people instinctively wanted to investigate the contents of the storage ring to determine the situation.

But the next moment they realized that it seemed they had no way of checking or confirming the contents of the storage container ever since they came in.

The atmosphere suddenly became very strange.

This feeling that something bad was about to happen, yet they couldn't be sure, made many people present look rather uneasy.

Even the concept of returning to Qian Guiyi) is the same.

Even if one doesn't gain any benefits from this route, the loss would probably not be greater than losing the storage items one carries.

The advantages of this route seem to be something that needs to be seized.

However, they did indeed possess storage devices, and from the very beginning, considering that access to the underground routes might be difficult, their preparations were quite thorough.

All these preparations were kept in storage containers.

What if it gets lost!

Qian Guiyi deep breath and turned to look around.

After searching for a while, his gaze settled on a spot, and he adjusted his direction slightly before swimming towards it.

Although the powerful figures of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom didn't quite understand, they all followed along.

Before long, Li Baimei's voice rang out.

"Qian Guiyi."

"Why are you all stuck here trying to stop the Li Clan while everyone else is soaking in the water?"

The Qian Guiyi was facing was precisely where Li Baimei and the other Li Clan were located, slightly behind them.

At this moment, facing the group of powerful figures from the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom, the Li Clan members also showed a wary expression.

At the same time, it also carried a hint of misunderstanding and a lack of respect.

After all, this is only the beginning. Judging from the direction, the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom is actually advancing at a faster pace overall.

Wasting time stopping the Li Clan at this point would be tantamount to handing over the benefits to the other two parties.

Just as they were thinking, Qian Guiyi's voice rang out.

Don't worry.

There's no need to stop you.

"I'm just here to cause you some trouble."
