The crowd looked towards the broken altar, which was covered in dark bloodstains, with a large hole in the center leading to an unknown place.
Old Hei took the lead, stepping into the opening in a single stride.
The rest followed without hesitation.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
A fierce wind roared past their ears, making their eardrums ache, but thankfully, their astonishing physical conditioning allowed them to ignore the wind.
Dali, on the side, used his hospital gown to cover his head, shielding himself from the wind that possessed a tearing force.
Time gradually passed.
They were still falling, as if there was no end, making one wonder if they would emerge from the other side of the Blue Star…
Bang!
Finally, Old Hei, with his contracted spirit, landed first, halting their descent.
The others followed suit.
Their gazes immediately fell upon the underground cavern before them.
It resembled the caverns they had previously plundered but was much more spacious, and the surroundings were adorned with numerous glowing objects.
"King-tier materials?!"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, looking at a green stone nearby.
"Is this guy so extravagant?"
The next moment, he pried it loose and carefully put it away.
Seeing this, the others were also excited, looking at the various materials embedded in the surrounding cave walls.
"Be careful, everyone!"
Old Hei warned, "There might be unknown dangers!"
The others nodded, but they didn't stop their actions.
Despite their fervent scavenging, they remained vigilant, ready to react to any crisis.
Time gradually passed.
The group proceeded towards the depths of the cavern, tidying up the surrounding cave walls until they were spotless, leaving nothing behind.
An hour later,
The cave walls were devoid of any resources, and their field of vision suddenly widened, revealing a hall-like area.
The hall was empty, with no treasures, but six passages leading to unknown places appeared in front of them.
"Legendary materials, in one of the passages!"
Old Jin licked his lips, his body trembling with excitement.
"Good! Let's search the first one!"
Old Hei nodded and led the group straight towards the front.
"Six passages…"
Chen Shu's eyes darted, contemplating sending out his contracted spirits to scout the other passages ahead and scavenge in advance.
However, the others were no fools; they were all alert, subtly wary of each other, and gave no one any opportunity.
Everyone stepped into the first passage and headed towards the depths.
Just then, Yang Buren seemed to recall something and said with a smile,
"Third Sister, there might be danger ahead. Cast an invisibility spell on us."
"Hmm?"
Thirteen was slightly surprised, a hint of something unreadable in her eyes. She then smiled charmingly and cast the spell on everyone.
Upon seeing the lizard beside her, the others relaxed, realizing that casting the spell was secondary; the primary concern was preventing her from seizing the opportunity to send out her contracted spirits.
In a short while,
They reached the end of the passage, and their vision opened up, leading them to a spacious area.
However, unlike the previous hall, this area was not empty but had five exquisite small boxes, placed on a stone platform.
The boxes were open, allowing them to see the treasures within at a glance.
"Five portions of Legendary materials?!"
The expressions of the crowd jolted, their eyes turning green like those of hungry wolves.
Yang Buren tentatively said, "One portion each?"
"Let's divide it according to the agreed-upon ratio."
Old Hei glanced at Chen Shu and said, "That's what we agreed on earlier."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of something unusual crossed Yang Buren's eyes, but he didn't object.
Ultimately, Chen Shu took two legendary materials, with the difference in value to be compensated by other resources. Did he have priority in selection?
But legendary materials had no market price; no amount of basic resources could compensate for them.
Chen Shu ignored the others' peculiar looks and, with a pleased expression, put away the two portions of legendary materials.
For a moment, the atmosphere among them seemed to turn somewhat bizarre.
Yang Buren's gaze shifted to Chen Shu from time to time; the original admiration and enthusiasm were gone, replaced by a hint of something inexplicable.
Their sworn brotherhood seemed to be on the verge of collapsing…
"Alright, if I'm not mistaken, the other five passages all contain abundant resources!"
Old Hei said hastily, "This is just the small portion."
Upon hearing this, Yang Buren retracted his gaze and agreed, "Brother is right!"
Time gradually passed.
The group sequentially visited the remaining passages, and as expected, they were filled with various resources, all neatly categorized.
The first passage had legendary materials, the second had King-tier…
Two days later,
The group had thoroughly scoured the Beast Emperor's territory, their professionalism fully displayed…
The group returned to the territory's main hall and were discussing something amongst themselves.
"Excluding the legendary materials, the total is around three trillion in resources…"
Chen Shu sat on the stone platform, propping his chin with his hand, and said,
"This number doesn't seem right, does it?"
Although this was already an astronomical sum, the two Beast Emperors controlled the entire [Altar of Death] and even the entire Black Continent.
Their wealth was incomparable to the Bat Emperor of the [Demon's Den].
"Could that horse also have a territory?"
Old Jin, lost in thought, said, "We only found the territory of one of them."
"That's possible!"
Old Hei nodded and said, "In any case, this territory has no more resources."
"What do we do next?" Thirteen licked her lips and asked, "Do we go look for the other Beast Emperor's territory…"
"Let's leave the [Altar of Death] first!"
Old Hei shook his head and said, "If the Beast Emperors detect us, we won't be able to leave easily."
If they acted according to the Death Heavenly Knights' temperament, they would be in great danger!
"Leave already?"
Yang Buren's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and he said, "Brother, we finally managed to get in. If we wait until next time, we might not have such a good opportunity!"
"Buren, life is the most important thing!"
Old Hei frowned slightly and said, "Besides, I have a feeling of unease. Things have progressed too smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Yang Buren could only lower his head and say,
"Fine…"
The group reached a consensus and all stood up, deciding to leave first.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
Chen Shu's space rabbit's eyes moved, and a spatial imprint instantly appeared, preparing to lead everyone away.
But the next second, his expression changed, and he said in astonishment,
"Divine Skill… is ineffective?!"
