Chapter 202 Treasure Hunt

The scattered bones quickly gathered together and reassembled into the shape of a small skeleton.

Its skill "Rebirth" allows it to regenerate even when its bones are shattered and only bone fragments remain. This is an essential skill for top-tier undead creatures.

The little skeleton glanced at Su Ping, then looked down at the bone knife at its hip. Seeing that the bone knife was still there, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, immediately pulled it out, and stood guard in front of Su Ping, warily surveying its surroundings.

After leaving the Giant Tree Forest, Su Ping breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the Dead Soul Demon Spirit was subject to some kind of restriction and dared not leave the forest on its own. He had verified this many times in the breeding grounds without exception.

After the little skeleton was recalled, a chilling aura quickly approached from behind. Just as Su Ping had guessed, this chilling aura stopped at the edge of the forest and did not continue to pursue.

Su Ping glanced back and saw a dark mist shrouding the edge of the forest, from which came faint roars and howls filled with malice and resentment.

Seeing that the rules in the breeding grounds were in effect, Su Ping was completely relieved. He told the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple-Green Python to slow down a bit and to stay hidden while escaping, so as not to attract something else after just shaking off one dead spirit.

After he was completely out of danger, Su Ping had the Purple-Green Python raise its scale shield to firmly envelop him. Then he took out the scroll and extended his consciousness into it.

In the painting.

Tang Ruyan stared dumbfounded at the fruit tree that had suddenly fallen. She hadn't expected that Su Ping would not only steal their Soul Fruit, but also take the fruit tree here. This was too ruthless!

However, if it were her, she would do the same, even preferring to destroy it rather than leave it behind.

After all, the circle is only so big. If someone else gets what you can't have, it's like giving your enemy an advantage.

She stood before the fruit tree, hesitating whether to destroy it or not. After all, she wouldn't fare well in Su Ping's hands anyway, so she might as well let Su Ping suffer even greater losses.

However, doing so would inevitably provoke Su Ping's fury. Since she was not certain to die, she still wanted to try to survive and perhaps use the fruit tree to blackmail Su Ping in exchange for a chance to escape.

"Now that this fruit tree is in my hands, it gives me an opportunity," Tang Ruyan thought to herself, a slight sneer on her face. She had already figured out how to negotiate with Su Ping. If Su Ping didn't agree, she would destroy the fruit tree.

Just as she was pondering, Su Ping's consciousness suddenly entered the painting. His consciousness condensed into a huge face, as if it were in the clouds, overlooking the entire painting space.

His face was extremely cold as he said icily, "Take good care of this fruit tree for me. If even a single leaf is missing, not only will you die, but your Tang family will be utterly disgraced and ridiculed by countless people!"

After he finished speaking, Su Ping's enormous face vanished and disappeared from the painting.

Tang Ruyan stared blankly at the disappearing face, blinking twice.

Before she could even begin negotiating or making threats, she was already being warned?!

Isn't this man afraid that he might destroy the fruit tree in a fit of anger?

Tang Ruyan came to her senses, furious, wishing she could smash the fruit tree to pieces with one blow. It was outrageous!

What's infuriating isn't just Su Ping's tone, but even more infuriating is the content of his words, which directly hit her most feared spot!

She was prepared to die, but she absolutely did not want to die in a humiliating way, dragging down the reputation of her entire family.

"Damn it, damn it!"

She gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed up with anger. Su Ping had run off after giving her a warning, not even giving her a chance to negotiate, which rendered all the long lines she had prepared useless.

Looking at the fruit trees in front of her, she wished she could destroy them, but reason made her hold back. After all, they hadn't reached the end of their rope yet. If the fruit trees were destroyed, she would die even if she and Su Ping were to fight to the death.

"So annoying..."

Tang Ruyan was filled with resentment and paced back and forth in place.

……

After warning Tang Ruyan, Su Ping's consciousness returned to the outside world. He put away the scroll. If Tang Ruyan hadn't been actively seeking death, she probably wouldn't have harmed the fruit tree. After all, everyone has a will to live and is unwilling to easily give up hope unless they are in dire straits.

He instructed the Dark Dragon Hound to carefully scout the route and head straight for the location of the secret treasure.

With the route in the breeding grounds as a reference, Su Ping avoided several territories where ninth-tier high-level demonic beasts might appear along the way. When he occasionally encountered wandering ninth-tier mid-level demonic beasts or eighth-tier demonic beasts, he had Little Skeleton and Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast take action to quickly kill them, trying not to cause too much of a commotion.

Two hours later, Su Ping successfully arrived at this treasure trove.

This treasure is located in an ancient and dilapidated palace. The outer walls of the palace are cracked and in ruins. Inside are two ninth-tier high-level sub-serpent demon beasts. They are half-human and half-serpent, with ordinary bloodlines, but their humanoid upper body structure allows them to master some special combat skills, making them quite powerful.

Su Ping arrived outside the giant hall and had the Dark Dragon Hound sniff out the situation inside. They quickly figured out the distribution of the monsters inside the giant hall.

Besides some venomous insects and spiders, there were indeed two sub-serpent monsters emitting an extremely foul odor. The Dark Dragon Hound had fought against them in the breeding grounds and was very familiar with this smell.

Su Ping quickly came up with a plan to seize the treasure.

While a hard-fought battle can be won, it carries risks, and there's no need to take the plunge. After all, if someone else manages to snatch the spoils halfway through the fight, he'll be in trouble. He's not the only one who can be the one to get away with it.

Soon, Su Ping made a decision: to use a feint to lure away the two sub-serpent demon beasts.

He had the Dark Dragon Hound cast five layers of shields on the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and the Little Skeleton, and then let the Little Skeleton rush into the giant hall first. With the Little Skeleton's combat strength, it would not be difficult for it to deal with one of them by itself.

Soon, roars echoed from inside the giant hall. Su Ping was very familiar with the structure and environment of the hall, and he knew the location of the other party just by listening to the sounds.

The little skeleton's figure flashed out, dust billowing behind it. Two giant snakes, each over ten meters long, slithered out from within. Their upper bodies resembled humans, but unlike humans, they were covered in scales, had sharp teeth, ears like two daggers, and their heads, covered in algae-like hair, were made up of venomous snakes as thick as fingers.

Upon reaching the entrance of the giant palace, the two serpentine monsters seemed to realize they couldn't catch the little skeleton and appeared to be giving up and turning back.

Su Ping immediately sent the little skeleton back to provoke them again. Soon, the two sub-serpent monsters were enraged and chased after them again. At this moment, the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and the Dark Dragon Hound, who were lurking nearby, also rushed forward. The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast used the "Dragon Backing" skill to knock down one of the sub-serpent monsters, and then attacked wildly together with the Dark Dragon Hound.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Ping had the Purple-Green Python use its Earth Escape skill to carry him from the ground into the giant hall, directly to the entrance of the main hall.

The enormous hall was shrouded in dust and littered with skeletons, many of which were those of sub-dragon beasts that had died generation after generation, turning to white bones. In addition, there were their excrement, as well as spider webs and snakes and insects, making it an extremely filthy place.

Su Ping had the Purple-Green Python smash open the giant door of the main hall. Inside, it was extremely spacious, with an imposing chair at the top, upon which sat a treasure chest.

The enhancement artifact that Su Ping wanted is in this treasure chest.

Seeing the dust on the treasure chest, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that no one would come to claim it.

He had the purple-green python swim swiftly to the seat and retrieve the treasure chest. The lock on the chest was already rotten, but it contained an energy key that required mastering the corresponding energy array to unlock.

However, after countless years, the energy key had depleted. Su Ping handed it to the Purple-Green Python, and with a flick of its tail, the treasure chest shattered, revealing a brilliant gem inside.

The gemstone was the size of a fist, radiating a dazzling starlight-like light and a rich energy fluctuation.

Su Ping was overjoyed. He raised his hand and the gem flew into his hand.

Roar!

Just then, two angry roars came from outside the giant hall, and at the same time, the ground shook violently, as if something was rapidly approaching.
