If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Before Shen Bai was a strange beast. On the surface, it looked no different from a small snake, but upon closer inspection, one could see that this green snake exuded a terrifying, dark aura.

This is the aura of a strange beast. Shen Bai possesses two strange beasts, Amber and Red Makeup, and has long been aware of this aura.

The green snake also looked at him with its adorable big eyes, as if it were very curious about Shen Bai.

As a strange beast, the Green Snake also sensed the aura of its kind from Shen Bai, but it couldn't quite make out the details.

Shen Bai ignored the green snake and instead focused his gaze on the chief, asking a question.

"Is this snake the way to break the curse of the mountain's fortune?"

The general idea behind what the commander just said is that as long as we go to that mountain through the secret passage he left behind, we can find the location of the destiny, and once we find it, we can do everything we can to destroy it.

Now that the chief has brought out this green snake, Shen Bai guesses that this green snake is probably related to breaking the cycle of fate.

As expected, the commander-in-chief immediately responded after Shen Bai said those words.

"That's right, this green snake is the key to breaking the cycle of fortune. The green snake has the power to break the cycle of fortune. All we need to do is bring it to that mountain peak, find the fortune, and then we can completely resolve it through the green snake."

The commander-in-chief did not provide a detailed explanation as to why this green snake was able to break the cycle of fortune.

Monsters have always been mysterious, so when he heard that they could break through the cycle of fate, Shen Bai didn't need to study the underlying principles.

All you need to know is that there is one solution.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin and asked, "Will there be any danger after this mission?"

The commander-in-chief just explained the specific process, and now he has also mentioned that the Green Snake is the key to breaking the opponent's luck. So now we should talk about the main point.

Is there any danger on this trip?

Even if there is danger, Shen Bai feels it is worth doing.

However, before taking any action, it is essential to understand these dangers in order to devise countermeasures.

The commander shook his head: "There should be no danger for the time being. We opened the passage very secretly, but we can't be sure if the other side has discovered our whereabouts. If there is danger on this trip, it will not be a small danger, but a danger that could put us in mortal danger."

He has already said everything he needed to say, and now all hope rests on Shen Bai.

As for whether there was any danger on this trip, he really couldn't guarantee it.

If Shen Bai is unwilling to do it, then they will not do it for the time being, and they will think of other ways.

If you're willing to do it, you can save a lot of effort.

While it cannot completely destroy the Great Qi and Great Yue kingdoms, it can at least slow down the pace of their armies, giving the Great Nan and Great Zhou kingdoms more time to develop.

Shen Bai put his hand down and said, "I'll take care of this."

Regardless of whether there was danger or not, Shen Bai felt he was willing to do it.

The reason is simple: if we don't do this, the Qi and Yue kingdoms will only gradually erode the Zhou and Nan kingdoms after they invade.

Once the two countries have been largely devoured, then the world will face destruction.

The world is facing destruction, and the person the other side most wants to kill is Shen Bai.

After all, from Shen Bai's rise to the present day, he has caused too much trouble for those in the chaotic organization.

Even the three major evil forces were completely destroyed because of Shen Bai.

Therefore, Shen Bai felt that he had to go on this trip.

If we fail to seize this opportunity, more trouble will follow.

If he destroys the luck that the other party is hiding in the cave, he can gain a lot of time, giving the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Great Southern Kingdom a chance to recover.

The commander nodded and said, "It's great that you're willing to go. I'll take you there now."

Time is of the essence, and the current battle is extremely urgent. If they wait for the enemy to launch another war, they don't know how long they can hold out.

The sooner Shen Bai gets there, the better.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai stopped arguing and threw the green snake into the space of the Chaos Storage Technique before leaving with the Chief.

After leaving the house, the commander headed towards a secluded spot.

……

A very secluded corner.

The commander stopped and gently tapped the floor in the corner.

The hollow sound emanating from the blue floor proved that it was empty underneath.

Without further ado, the commander opened the floorboards in front of him.

After the floor was opened, there was a pitch-black space inside, stretching as far as the eye could see, clearly very deep, having been dug by the Chief.

The real secret passage is actually quite simple and unadorned.

Especially the important secret passages.

If the Souji and his team make it any more complicated, it will arouse the other party's suspicion.

If it arouses suspicion, it will have the opposite effect.

Therefore, the simpler it is, the better.

Simple things can often be the most effective.

When Shen Bai arrived at the passage and looked down from above, he felt a chilling wind blowing through it.

At this moment, Souji finally spoke.

"Following this passage downwards, it may take a very long time, but the final destination is inside that mountain, where the fortune is hidden. Once the fortune is unlocked, the Great Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom can be at peace for the time being."

Shen Bai nodded, said no more, and then decisively jumped down.

The commander watched as Shen Bai's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a moment, covered the passage again.

There's no one on duty here, but no one comes here either.

In this remote and secluded place, no one knew about it.

The commander-in-chief is now hoping that Shen Bai will return safely.

A cough broke out, and the commander's face turned somewhat pale. After thinking for a moment, he lifted his foot and walked back to the courtyard.

He plans to continue resting and try to heal his injuries as soon as possible.

After the injuries are healed, you can continue fighting.

……

After Shen Bai entered the passage, he heard a gust of wind.

At this moment, he descended at an increasingly faster pace.

This passage is very deep, and in order to avoid being discovered, the commander did not install any lighting in it.

Fortunately, Shen Bai possessed the Void-Breaking Golden Eye, which allowed him to completely envelop the surroundings, so he easily landed at the bottom.

A damp sensation underfoot told Shen Bai that the passage hadn't been dug for long.

As for how the commander-in-chief discovered it, Shen Bai felt there was no need to think about it in detail.

These days, every industry has its own methods. Instead of trying to figure out how the chief engineer dug this channel, it would be better to destroy the luck as soon as possible.

He could consider himself to have completed a task. Thinking of this, even though it was dark around him, it had no effect on Shen Bai.

Shen Bai followed the only road and walked forward.

Although the surroundings were extremely damp, it did not affect Shen Bai.

Shen Bai just kept walking forward.

Walking alone is extremely boring, but Shen Bai still has Hongzhuang and Amber inside him.

Seeing that there was no danger around, Shen Bai would occasionally exchange a few words with Hongzhuang and Hu Po, so the journey was not too boring.

They ran at incredible speed, covering almost half a day, until finally something unusual appeared ahead.

A large hole, big enough for one person to pass through, appeared ahead, with light shining from the other side.

That's the exit.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment, then drew the Cold Moon from his waist. The light of his flawless divine soul body rose from his body, enveloping the surroundings as a defense.

Then he lifted his foot and walked toward the glowing cave entrance.

As they drew closer to the cave entrance, the light gradually spread from a single point until it reached a height where one person could pass through.

As soon as Shen Bai stepped out, an enormous grotto appeared in front of him.

The grottoes stretch as far as the eye can see, and a person standing inside would appear extremely small, like an ant.

And under the protection of the Void-Breaking Golden Eye, no one stepped into the cave in front of them.

After Shen Bai entered the grotto through the passage, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

Not far ahead, a floating sphere could be seen, constantly bobbing up and down.

The sphere is golden in color, giving it an air of elegance and luxury at first glance.

Shen Bai had previously sensed the power of destiny from the Holy Martial Emperor, and not long ago, he himself had been tricked by the Chaotic Organization using destiny, almost not surviving.

Therefore, at this moment, they have an extremely high ability to discern fortune, and can tell at a glance that these things in front of them are the power of fortune.

After a moment's thought, Shen Bai opened up the space of the Chaos Storage Technique.

Soon, within the space of the Chaos Storage Technique, Shen Bai took out the wooden box.

The wooden box was trembling slightly, as if it had sensed the presence within the aura, thus causing a series of changes.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment and then opened the wooden box.

As soon as the green snake appeared inside the wooden box, it hurriedly tried to pounce on the luck.

But before it could make a move, Shen Bai grabbed it.

The green snake opened its big, adorable eyes and looked at Shen Bai curiously, as if it didn't understand why Shen Bai was stopping it.

Shen Bai stopped the green snake to check if there was any danger around.

After all, while the commander-in-chief said there was no danger, how could one be sure about such a thing?

If the Green Serpent rashly goes to devour the Luck Orb, and is attacked in the process, ultimately turning into ashes and disappearing, then they will lose the only thing that allows them to devour the Luck Orb.

Therefore, Shen Bai must be careful.

With his Void-Breaking Golden Eye expanding continuously, Shen Bai enveloped everything around him, even paying special attention to the top and the ground.

Only after confirming there was no danger was the green snake released.

Then, the green snake floated in mid-air, glanced at Shen Bai with its cute big eyes, and then pounced straight at the cloud of qi in front of it, plunging into it.

Then, the enormous sphere of fortune in front of them began to disappear at a visible speed.

After about half an hour, half of the luck had disappeared.

Shen Bai thought that if he waited a little longer until the luck was absorbed, he could take the green snake back the way he came and be safe.

But at that moment, a series of footsteps suddenly rang out.

Shen Bai's heart stirred, and he beckoned to the green snake with his finger.

At this moment, the Green Snake was already inside the Qi Luck Sphere.

But it could also sense changes in the outside world, so when Shen Bai beckoned with his finger, it immediately poked its head out and looked at Shen Bai with a puzzled expression.

Shen Bai said, "Come back first, someone is coming."

The green snake was able to understand human nature, and being a strange beast, coupled with the amber and red makeup aura on Shen Bai, it instantly transformed into a green afterimage and returned to the wooden box in Shen Bai's hand.

Shen Bai could tell that the small green snake had grown slightly larger because it had absorbed some of the luck.

The eerie, beastly aura emanating from his body was growing stronger.

Shen Bai didn't take the changes in the green snake to heart.

Then, he opened up the space of the Chaos Storage Technique, threw the green snake and the wooden box together, and then used Shadow Thousand Kills to hide in the shadows and wait patiently.

At this time, besides people from the Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom, he couldn't think of anyone else who would appear.

Sure enough, as the footsteps drew closer, a sense of pressure filled the cave.

Two men in black robes appeared in the cave.

A moment later, a sound rang out.

"Why has my luck suddenly decreased? What happened?"

"I don't know either. I sensed someone disrupting the power of destiny just now, so I hurriedly called you over. Now it seems that there's a problem with the power of destiny."

"If it continues to shrink as a result, it may have the opposite effect, and at that time, this battle will have to be temporarily suspended."

"I have to report these things to my superiors."

The two men in black robes, their faces covered, carefully examined the cloud sphere and came to a conclusion.

Then, a man in black robes prepared to leave and report the matter to his superiors.

Shen Bai hid in the shadows, carefully assessing his opponent's strength.

Upon realizing that the opponent's strength was only at the Immortal Realm, an idea immediately arose in his mind.

"We've already set a bad precedent here today, so we can't stop now. If we let this person go out and report the incident, it will only attract more people, and then there will be even bigger trouble."

"Since that's the case, let's just take care of these two people first, and then let the Green Snake continue to absorb as much as it can."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai's figure quietly emerged from the shadows, and then he raised his hand and shot out a blood-red sword aura.

The crimson sword energy echoed continuously within the grotto, filling it in the blink of an eye before piercing the backs of the two black-robed men.

Under the terrifying sword energy, the two black-robed men didn't even have time to scream before they turned into ashes.

Seeing this, Shen Bai quickly took out the wooden box and released the green snake again.

"Eat faster," Shen Bai said.

The green snake didn't dare to linger and, following Shen Bai's instructions, began to devour the prey swiftly.

Shen Bai looked towards the entrance of the grotto, his expression growing increasingly grave. (End of Chapter)
