597: Chapter 569: The Hidden Secret Forest 597: Chapter 569: The Hidden Secret Forest This ti entering the relic, there was a slight difference from the last ti.
Perhaps because soone had already entered before, the interior of the relic seed much more desolate.
However, since it was only their group, the exploration area of the relic had expanded significantly.
Luckily, Li Chen had morized many of the routes within the relic during his last visit, leading a group of Nether Army Warriors relentlessly into the relic.
“Sir!
We found a Silver Elixir!” a Nether Army Warrior suddenly shouted loudly.
Li Chen turned his head to look, and the pill was exactly the kind he had discovered in the relic last ti.
Seeing the pill, a smile involuntarily appeared on Li Chen’s face.
“Good!
Keep looking!”
After confirming that the number of black monsters inside the relic had also decreased, Li Chen imdiately issued the command to split up, and the group of Nether Army divided into several teams to search for pills within the relic.
Soon, when Li Chen and his group gathered again, he found that his hands were already filled with many Silver Elixirs.
Unfortunately, they had not seen that Golden Pill again.
“Seeing this thing is also a matter of fate,” Li Chen couldn’t help but silently lant.
In his view, that kind of Golden Core was sothing that should be encountered rather than sought.
However, having acquired so many Silver Elixirs, his strength could once more improve a notch, so Li Chen was quite satisfied.
“Let’s go further in and see if we might find that Golden Pill,” Li Chen secretly calculated in his heart.
Just as he was preparing to lead people deeper, a violent shaking suddenly transmitted from the interior of the relic.
“What’s happening?!”
Soone yelled sharply.
“It looks like the relic is about to collapse!” another Nether Army Warrior exclaid in alarm.
“Crash!”
As if to confirm the warrior’s words, several stones suddenly fell from above, landing close to the people, startling those nearest.
Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, “Forget it, let’s leave here for now.”
Although the things inside the relic were important, in Li Chen’s view, the lives of his people were more valuable.
“Rumble…” A violent tremor emanated from inside the relic.
“Quickly!”
Li Chen’s face changed, leading the way for everyone to rush out of the passage in the shortest ti.
Boom!!!
Just as the group erged, a violent shaking ca from the relic.
In front of everyone, the entire land surrounding the relic suddenly collapsed downward, as if in an instant, all the space below had been vacuud away.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events, even Li Chen had not noticed that, the mont he led people out of the relic, a black figure had followed behind a Nether Army Warrior and rushed out of the relic as well.
“It’s like this again!” Watching the scene before him, Li Chen’s brows deeply furrowed.
“Scan the surroundings.”
“Yes!”
Before long, the middle-aged Nether Army Warrior who had been overseeing the area ca back to Li Chen’s side, “The ground here has completely collapsed, and all that’s left below is just a layer of soil.
The relic…
has disappeared.”
Saying this, an expression of disbelief involuntarily appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, and Li Chen’s brows deeply furrowed.
“Dig around the area again and see if you can find any clues,” Li Chen spoke.
“Yes!”
All the Nether Army Warriors ticulously carried out Li Chen’s orders.
Soon, the middle-aged man relayed Li Chen’s commands to the person in charge.
Hearing that the digging was to continue, the person in charge still hesitated.
After all, the previous commotion had been too great, and the bizarre creature that suddenly appeared had killed quite a few people.
Although in such a place human life was truly cheap, to him, these workers were still his ans of earning money, and the death of each one was a loss.
“This can be done, but…” he hesitated as he spoke, his face showing hesitation.
“I’ll double your pay,” the middle-aged man said coldly.
“Okay,” the person in charge imdiately agreed.
Soon, a group of workers beca busy once again.
Although they too hesitated, given the terrifying black creature, seeing a group of fully ard Nether Army Warriors watching over them reassured them considerably.
Of course, perhaps a bigger reason was the fear of being killed by these people if they did not work.
The excavation continued, but soon, the results were out.
The ground around the area was indeed hollow, the relic had completely vanished, leaving behind only so dirt.
There was no longer any trace of the relic’s existence, as if everything they had experienced just then was an illusion.
If it weren’t for the pill still in his possession, Li Chen might even have started to question if he too was hallucinating.
After lingering around the site of the relic for a whole day, Li Chen still found nothing and ultimately, he had no choice but to give up.
After leaving a few Nether Army Warriors behind, Li Chen left the forest.
Why the relic appeared and then disappeared suddenly, what the principle behind the relic was, who created it, Li Chen’s mind was filled with questions.
But he also understood that since the relic had disappeared, staying here any longer was aningless.
Carrying his doubts, Li Chen left.
However, just as Li Chen was leaving, even he did not notice that in the distance, beside the treetops, a figure shrouded in a black robe murmured as he watched the direction of his departure.
This person was the shadow that had just burst from the relic!
He took a deep look at Li Chen’s retreating figure and then turned and disappeared into another direction.
Indeed, Li Chen had many questions about Mong Kok Forest, such as the occasional appearance of the relic or the murals under the Miao Village Sacred Pond, but he also understood that staying would not be of any use, so he chose not to linger any longer.
After everyone had left, another figure appeared in Mong Kok Forest.
Looking closely around, An Ze’s eyes carried a curiosity.
Soon, An Ze went deeper into the forest, saw the construction team preparing to leave, and saw the few Nether Army Warriors that Li Chen had left behind.
He saw the traces of the now collapsed and vanished relic as well.
Furrowing his brows, An Ze seed to be pondering sothing, then quickly shook his head and also left the place.
The forest remained quiet, as it had always been, as if it harbored endless secrets.
These secrets quietly awaited the day soone would uncover them.
