Chapter 780 Looting the Immortal Palace's Treasure Cave!

Shi Hao carried Qin Hao and the witch through the desert for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea when an ancient cave suddenly appeared ahead.

The ancient cave was hidden behind a huge sand dune, its entrance half-covered by sandstorms. If Shi Hao hadn't possessed such keen senses, he would have almost never discovered it.

"This should be it."

Shi Hao landed in front of the cave entrance and scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

He could sense an aura within the ancient cave that was even stronger than that of the Dragon Blood Ancestral Crocodile, deep and unfathomable, carrying a chilling pressure.

That aura was definitely Di Chong's.

"Di Chong, come out here..."

Shi Hao shouted at the top of his lungs into the ancient cave, "You defeated general of the Immortal Palace, you wouldn't have gone mad in there, would you?"

His voice echoed through the empty desert, causing the surrounding dunes to tremble slightly.

However, there was no response from inside the ancient cave; only that aura remained, like a sleeping beast, quietly lurking.

Shi Hao frowned and shouted again, "Di Chong, didn't you put a bounty on my head? I'm right here at your door, so come out now!"

There was still no response from inside the cave.

Qin Hao stood beside Shi Hao and lowered his voice, "Brother, what if he's not here?"

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "No, I can feel his aura inside. Moreover, since there is an ancient beast offspring like the Dragon Blood Ancestral Crocodile guarding this place, there must be something mysterious about it. Even if Di Chong is not here, he must have left something important behind."

The witch stood to the side without speaking, but her gaze remained fixed on the depths of the ancient cave.

After a moment, she suddenly spoke up: "Shi Hao, look inside."

Following her gaze, Shi Hao saw a golden altar faintly visible deep within the ancient cave.

The shape of the altar was very similar to the one we had seen in the swamp before, only the color was different.

Another altar?

Qin Hao was taken aback.

The demoness said solemnly, "This altar... is probably just another transit point. Di Chong's true place of seclusion may not be here. He has set up layers of illusions here, using the Dragon Blood Ancestral Crocodile and these altars to confuse his pursuers."

Shi Hao remained silent for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that after going through so much trouble to kill the Dragonblood Ancestral Crocodile and track it all the way here, it would turn out to be just another transit point.

"Make way, let this old man take a look..."

At this moment, the God-Slaying Stone suddenly volunteered to fly out.

It slowly floated to the top of the golden altar, circled it a few times, and then said, "This altar is indeed not a teleportation array, but there is a restriction hidden behind it. I can remove it."

Shi Hao's eyes lit up: "Then let's get started."

This time, the God-Slaying Stone didn't waste any words and immediately began to break the restriction.

It is extremely efficient, with beams of light shooting out from it and accurately hitting the nodes of the runes.

The restrictions placed here began to shatter one after another under its attack.

"--Bang!!!"

The sound of the last barrier breaking rang out.

A hidden door suddenly appeared behind the altar.

The hidden door slowly opened, revealing a spacious area inside.

This space wasn't large, but it was piled high with all sorts of treasures and spiritual materials.

In the corner, several sacred herbs lay quietly in a jade box, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Shi Hao even saw some demigod medicines here.

These demigod medicines are not as precious as holy medicines!

But the quantity was dozens of times that of the sacred medicine.

"This is... a treasure cave?"

Qin Hao stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief.

The witch was also stunned; she hadn't expected that behind this transit station was actually a treasure cave.

The God-Slaying Stone flew triumphantly to Shi Hao, boasting, "How about that? Am I amazing? This restriction, though complex, is no match for me." However, looking at the mountain of treasures, Shi Hao felt little excitement.

What he wanted was the imperial throne, not these treasures.

but……

Now that he had found these precious medicines, he naturally couldn't waste them.

"move."

Shi Hao waved his hand and took the lead into the treasure cave to collect the spiritual materials and sacred medicines.

Qin Hao and the witch followed them inside, putting the treasures into their storage bags one by one.

Those spiritual materials, sacred medicines, and demigod medicines are all priceless. If they were taken to the outside world, they would drive any power crazy.

But here, they are piled up like ordinary goods.

"These things are probably the haul that Di Chong has accumulated over many years in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm."

As the witch collected the items, she said, "He probably planned to come and collect them after his seclusion ended, but we beat him to it."

Shi Hao didn't speak. He walked to the deepest part of the treasure cave and found a small box there.

The box was entirely black, covered with runes, and emitted a cold, eerie light; it was clearly no ordinary object.

He reached out and picked up the box, opened it, and found that inside was an ancient bone fragment.

The bone fragment was covered with dense runes and surrounded by a halo of light, clearly indicating that it was a powerful magical technique.

"what is this?"

Qin Hao leaned closer and asked.

Shi Hao examined the bone fragment carefully, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but if Di Chong left it here alone, it must be something special. Let's put it away for now and study it after we get out."

He stored the bone fragments in his cave, then turned to Qin Hao and the witch: "Have you finished storing them?"

Qin Hao nodded: "That's about it."

The witch also said, "I've taken everything I could."

"Then let's go."

Shi Hao turned around, preparing to lead Qin Hao and the witch away from the treasure cave.

But just then, a commotion suddenly came from the God-Slaying Stone.

It turns out that when the God-Slaying Stone was devouring the divine essence here, it accidentally discovered a strange stone.

This stone is extremely bitter and cannot be swallowed.

Upon seeing this, the witch immediately went over and picked up another stone to examine it closely.

"I never expected to find gallstones here..."

The witch said with a look of surprise.

Shi Hao frowned and asked, "What is 'stone gall material'?"

The witch explained, "Stone gallstone also has another name, called immortal gallstone. Legend has it that stone gallstone is a rare stone born in the ancient immortal era. It can cleanse the eyes and open the martial arts heavenly eye."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was immediately overjoyed.

Although he didn't know what the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye was.

But this thing sounds really powerful.

Perhaps, like Shi Yi's double pupils, it is also an ancient pupil technique.

There are so many talented people in his chat group, and so many stone materials here. If he takes these stone materials back and lets the people in the group study them, he'll be very lucky.

Maybe in the future, everyone in their group will have a Martial Arts Heavenly Eye!

"No matter what it is, bring it all back first..."

With a wave of his hand, Shi Hao retrieved all the stone materials beneath his feet.
