One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

A heavy, clanging sound suddenly came from inside the wall.

Zhang Chulan stopped what he was doing, the knife still in his hand, and froze on the spot.

"Old Wang...did I cause trouble? Why is this wall moving by itself?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the middle of the smooth stone wall in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the thick stone wall slowly slid back to both sides, stirring up a cloud of dust that had never seen the light of day for years.

A bottomless staircase of bluestone steps suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The stairs extend downwards.

What's even more dangerous is that these people are not ordinary people; they have keen senses.

From the depths of that dark passage, a dazzling light of gold and silver could be faintly seen.

A unique aroma, mixed with aged medicinal herbs, wafted through the air.

"..."

The corridor was so quiet that only the breathing of a few people could be heard.

Zhang Chulan was a little stunned, and he almost dropped the watermelon knife in his hand.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing were stunned, clearly not expecting that prying open a brick could cause such a commotion.

Just when everyone was in a daze...

The reaction when he was upside down was absolutely superb!

He sorted out his thoughts almost the instant the stone door opened.

This was absolutely a lucky break; they stumbled upon the royal city's hidden treasury!

Immediately straighten your back while hanging upside down and put your hands behind your back.

He walked up to the hidden door, took a deep breath, and put on an inscrutable expression that said, "Everything is under control."

"Gentlemen, do you understand now?"

He turned his head upside down, looking at Zhang Chulan and the others, his tone revealing a proud sense of bearing humiliation:

"What do you think I was doing while I was leaning against the wall?"

He pointed arrogantly at the underground passage, his voice ringing with conviction:

"I sensed a hidden door here long ago! I'm searching for the hidden treasures of the royal city for True Immortal Tian Shu!"

"Holy crap!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's expression instantly changed from surprise to delight.

He put his arm around the upside-down shoulder, and they were so affectionate, it was as if they had known each other for ages.

"Upside-down Bro! You're a real talent! I used to suspect you had ulterior motives, but I was just being cynical!"

"Your discovery of the secret passage was absolutely brilliant! When we get back, I'll definitely give you credit for it to the clerk!"

Upside down, barely suppressing the twitching at the corner of his mouth, he patted Zhang Chulan's hand:

"Brother Chu Lan, you're too kind. We're all here to serve the real person; it's our duty."

Wang, who was listening nearby, rolled his eyes.

These two, one dares to make things up, and the other dares to believe them.

Two drama queens together are a match made in heaven.

"Alright, stop flattering each other."

Zhuge Qing looked at the staircase that shone with a precious light and narrowed his eyes again.

"Now that this door is open, King Nathan's array sensors will definitely detect it. We probably don't have much time left."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Zhang Chulan turned around and ran back quickly, his face full of excitement:

"I'll go back and call the advisor; let's prepare to enter the dungeon!"

Chapter 287 We're Rich! Swimming in a Mountain of Gold!

Not long after.

Zhang Tianyi, still holding a half-eaten fruit platter, followed Zhang Chulan unsteadily into the depths of the corridor.

As soon as he turned the corner, Zhang Tianyi saw Daodiao standing at the entrance of the secret passage, bowing and rubbing his hands.

"Oh?"

Zhang Tianyi stopped, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a hint of surprise:

"Didn't I tell you to be a security guard at the gate? How could that little golden retriever let a rat king like you into the royal city?"

Upon hearing this, the man hanging upside down immediately straightened his chest, his face displaying an expression of utter loyalty and courage.

"Sir! There's complete chaos outside. I was just worried you might get lost in this unfamiliar place!"

"Look, as soon as I came in, I used my expertise to uncover such a huge hidden treasure trove for you!"

He pointed upside down at the underground staircase, looking like he was saying, "I'm doing this all for the boss's own good."

Zhang Tianyi knew exactly what mischief this kid was up to, but he didn't expose him.

"Alright, you're smart, kid."

Zhang Tianyi casually shoved the fruit plate into Zhang Chulan's hand and waved his hand dismissively:

"Let's go! I'll take you guys to a dungeon!"

The group filed in down the bluestone steps.

As soon as the last person in the inverted carriage stepped into the passage, they heard a loud "boom" behind them.

The heavy stone door actually closed automatically right next to his heel!

Not even a slit for light to pass through was left.

Holy crap!

Zhang Chulan was startled and quickly turned around to push the stone wall, but it wouldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.

"Master! The door is locked! Are we trapped like turtles in a jar?"

Wang Ye surveyed the dimly lit surroundings, where only a few ever-burning lamps flickered on the walls.

"Old Zhang, what are you panicking about? This is called an anti-theft mechanism using mechanical devices. It's quite similar to the tomb raiding and treasure hunting techniques used in China."

"Tomb raiding?"

Zhang Tianyi walked at the front, waving his hand dismissively:

"That's perfect. If we really can't get out, I'll just have to do the work and blast this place open."

With this human nuclear bomb's assurance, everyone felt instantly reassured.

As everyone walked down the stairs, the strange fragrance in the air became stronger the further they went.

We went down about two floors.

Suddenly, the view ahead opened up.

"His~~"

When they saw what was in front of them, apart from Zhang Tianyi who managed to keep a straight face, the rest of them all gasped in shock.

This is an underground treasure trove the size of half a football field!

The things here are simply piled up on the ground and placed on the stone platform.

There were piles of gold coins and gold bricks, and even boxes of uncut natural diamonds.

Under the illumination of the ever-burning lamp, it reflected a dazzling light that made people dizzy.

There are also rows of ancient weapon racks and display cases.

On it were various Western longswords and staves that emitted magical fluctuations, as well as antique armor inlaid with magic cores.

In the deepest part of the room, there were jade boxes and crystal vessels of all sizes.

Inside were rare and exotic flowers and herbs, unknown minerals, and even whole glowing vines!

This is Nathan Island, a forest kingdom with a history spanning countless centuries!

The wealth accumulated by successive Nathan kings was now laid bare before them without reservation.

"Gudong."

In the silent treasure vault, a loud swallowing sound rang out.

Zhang Chulan's eyes had completely turned into two glittering "¥" symbols.

He stared at the mountain of gold coins, his breathing rapid, his hands flailing uncontrollably in mid-air.

"This...this is like how many small goals..."

Zhang Chulan felt his head buzzing.

next second.

He completely abandoned his composure and the dignity of being a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Wuhu!!!"

Zhang Chulan let out a resounding cheer.

He plunged headfirst into the mountain of gold coins!

Gold coins clattered and flew everywhere.

Zhang Chulan rolled around wildly in the pile of gold coins, even doing a backstroke.

He grabbed two handfuls of gold coins and rubbed them vigorously on his face, his expression one of blissful enjoyment.
