437: Chapter 411: The Unexpected Golden Core 437: Chapter 411: The Unexpected Golden Core “What news?” Li Chen asked.
Brian said, “You should know what we all ca in here for, right?
The Relic of Life, there must be secrets related to life inside.
That’s what we’re looking for.”
Li Chen did not speak.
Brian picked up a pill, and looking at it in his hand, his eyes filled with admiration: “This kind of pill is related to the secret of the Relic of Life.
Of course, this silver elixir only touches on a very small part of it and can’t be said to represent the whole secret.”
“And then?” Li Chen asked indifferently.
“Have you seen a certain kind of monster in the maze before?” Brian asked.
“If you observed carefully, you would notice that although their bodies are withered and degenerated, they are very similar to us humans.”
At that, Li Chen’s gaze finally changed.
“Do you an, could it be…”
“Exactly,” Brian said directly, “those monsters are what the people who were left in the relic turned into.
The cause of this transformation, I think, is also related to this kind of pill.”
Li Chen had an epiphany at that mont.
When he had faced those monsters previously, he felt they looked sowhat human, but it turned out they really were humans.
If that was truly the case, then everything made sense.
After the royal family built the ancient tomb, they sealed nurous people inside, including not only the workers responsible for the construction but also the guards and soldiers.
However, these soldiers did not die but degenerated into those monsters.
What was it that did not cause their death but instead allowed them to survive and even transform into such strange creatures?
Li Chen looked at Brian, who said, “I don’t know the specific reason, but I think it should be related to this kind of pill.
And…”
Brian smiled faintly and then said word by word, “Besides the silver elixir, there is another kind, the golden elixir!”
Golden elixir?!
Li Chen’s pupils shrunk, the silver elixir so significantly affected his internal injuries and the suppression effect on the mysterious energy, then wouldn’t the effects of the golden elixir be even better?
“This is the information I have.
So, can I take half of my things now?” Brian asked.
Li Chen frowned, then nodded and said, “Take it.”
Brian scooped inside the Furnace Cauldron, as Li Chen indifferently spoke from behind, “I counted earlier, there are still 18 pills in total.”
Brian chuckled, put down a few more pills in his hand, and then swept away into the distance.
Li Chen swallowed the remaining pills, and soon after, they all transford into energy that moistened his wounds.
When he opened his eyes again, his injuries had recovered by more than half.
However, the effects of these pills were already significantly less than before, which showed that no matter what kind of pill, its effectiveness diminishes with prolonged use.
There was no helping it because the human body develops a kind of resistance, and as long as this resistance exists, the effect of the dicine would continuously decrease.
However, having swallowed so many silver elixirs, it was much better than after the fight with Li Siblings and the Cobra Team and others.
At least he now had so strength left.
Li Chen ca out and saw Lin Yi and Yue’er anxiously waiting for him.
“It’s okay now, let’s go,” Li Chen said with a slight smile.
Yue’er also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Chen return and seed to find her mainstay.
Lin Yi humd in acknowledgnt, holding the Ginseng Doll that had fallen into a deep sleep in her arms.
With the two won, Li Chen continued deeper into the maze.
“Mr.
Cheen, we should be able to get out of here, right?” Yue’er asked nervously from the side.
“Hmm, we definitely will,” Li Chen reassured her.
He already had a plan in mind; since there were so many people inside the Relic, they could just capture a few who knew the way out when the ti ca.
The three of them walked forward, but just at that mont, the figures of the Li Siblings suddenly appeared in the passage ahead!
The Li Siblings seed to have seen Li Chen too and imdiately charged towards them, their faces betraying a hint of joy!
What’s going on?
Li Chen frowned but that didn’t stop the murderous intent from growing in his heart!
Upon seeing Li Chen, Li Xini’s face instantly lit up with perverse elation, while venomous hatred practically dripped from her eyes, “Quick!
Li Chen’s over there, let’s run towards him!”
Li Yang’s face was dark as a thundercloud, silent.
He was holding a rock in his hand and of the several Cobra Team mbers that had been following him, only two remained.
The other five were nowhere to be seen.
At that mont, Li Yang tossed the rock he held in his hand straight at Li Chen, who instinctively caught it.
Li Chen was calmly watching the two running towards him, but upon seeing Li Yang throw sothing, he imdiately dodged into a side passage.
A flicker of confusion crossed his face, but it lasted only an instant before his expression drastically changed!
Dammit!
Li Chen cursed inwardly, thinking, no wonder they were so eager upon seeing and running in my direction; you intended to divert disaster to .
Behind the Li Siblings, in the turning passage, erged a horde of those silver creatures.
Their numbers were much greater than the dozen or so Li Chen had seen before.
Looking onwards, it was like a Beast Tide coming from behind the siblings, on the ceiling, the ground, from the walls on both sides—so dense it made one’s scalp explode just by looking at it.
And like that, the horde of humanoid monsters charged towards them at an alarming speed, almost drowning Li Chen in an instant.
“You two run that way!”
Li Chen yelled at Lin Yi and the girls.
Yue’er turned pale, but fortunately, Lin Yi grabbed Yue’er’s hand and ran towards a different direction, while Li Chen turned to flee the other way.
From afar in the passage, one could see Li Chen sprinting for his life, followed by a swarm of monsters.
Just one glance at those humanoid creatures was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Behind them, the Li Siblings laughed gleefully, and Li Xini’s malevolent voice carried from afar, “Run faster, or you might get eaten.”
You’re pleased with yourself now, but wait until you fall into my hands, I’ll show you!
Li Chen cursed silently, suppressing his rage.
However, the humanoid monsters behind him didn’t give him any chance or ti to respond, closely tailing him.
If Li Chen slacked even a bit, they would pounce on him and tear him apart!
At that mont, Li Chen figured out the reason.
The monsters should have been chasing after the Li Siblings, but after Li Yang had thrown the rock to him, the creatures had started chasing him instead.
Clearly, there was sothing about the rock.
Li Chen quickly realized the crux of the matter and was about to throw the rock away when suddenly, it dropped to the ground.
“Crack”
The stone shattered, spreading dirt around, and then, a Golden Core was revealed inside.
A Golden Core?
Li Chen blinked his eyes.
