[Hint: The player obtained an unknown fusion creature, which cannot be placed into the game backpack.]
Troublesome.
Fang Heng frowned slightly and muttered "troublesome," then turned to look at Zane beside him.
"Zane."
"Take all the useful things with you."
Take them away?
Zane was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood Fang Heng’s meaning. The previous Beetle King had indeed left him a fortune.
That’s right!
Since we’re here anyway!
Besides, we’re already at odds with the God of Decay.
What’s there to fear!
"Leave it to me!"
Zane agreed and instantly transformed into a shadow, swiftly sweeping through the first floor exhibition hall, enveloping various high-priced exhibits in black fog, then quickly caught up to Fang Heng.
"This..."
Inside the auction house, people watched as the three of them left, leaving behind a mess, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Who exactly were these three?
Daring to rob the God of Decay’s auction house?
Crazy!
Not afraid of the God of Decay’s retaliation?
After a brief silence, someone in the crowd was the first to react.
"Rob them!"
A roar like lighting a powder keg.
Zane had only taken a portion of the exhibits he considered valuable; a large amount of other artworks and low-priced exhibits scattered all over the floor, which Zane didn’t even understand their use.
In the past, no one would have dared to steal.
But now?
All the guards were dead, and the scene was chaotic.
Who cared? Anything missing could be blamed on those three intruders.
In an instant, the entire auction house hall completely lost control. People fought fiercely over the exhibits.
Amid the chaos, Pena’s figure slowly gathered in a corner of the first-floor exhibition hall.
"Beetle King... interesting..."
Pena murmured to herself.
Fang Heng’s methods were similar to the previous Beetle King’s, even more ruthless, acting without any scruples.
But the God of Decay’s followers were not easy to deal with.
Their believers should be arriving soon.
...
"Stop!"
On the third floor passage of the underground area, more than twenty fully armed guards formed a defensive line blocking the passage’s end, all raising energy weapons aimed at Fang Heng and the others.
"Fire!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
Dense energy beams instantly covered the entire passage.
Fang Heng didn’t dodge; he only gently raised his hand forward.
The beams struck the space in front of him, creating ripples.
What the hell!
All the energy beams seemed to be absorbed by an invisible space and completely dissipated.
The captain of the guard squad was shocked, sweat appeared on his forehead involuntarily, as he watched Fang Heng and the two others slowly approach under the dense beam attack.
What to do?
The beam attacks were completely ineffective!
"Whoosh!"
Xia Xi flashed and disappeared from where she stood.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dull thuds sounded one after another. All guards blocking behind in the passage had their necks pierced in an instant and fell silent.
Fang Heng passed over the fallen bodies until reaching the end of the passage, then looked up at the alloy metal door blocking the way.
The door was covered with large, complex alchemy runes.
"Brother Fang Heng, behind this door is the auction house treasury," Zane returned to normal form beside Fang Heng and signaled toward the metal door with his eyes, "The God of Decay’s people are already on the way, we’d better hurry."
After speaking, Zane stepped back a few paces and waited for Fang Heng to act.
Zane had personally seen Fang Heng’s skill with alchemy magic arrays.
He could even refine black crystal currency; this was nothing.
"Hm."
Fang Heng gave a soft hum, then focused his gaze on the magic array on the metal door.
The level was not low.
But not enough to impress him.
Time was limited; he simply chose the easiest method.
Forcefully breaking the seal.
"Whoosh..."
The God’s Eye in Fang Heng’s right pupil spun rapidly, reflecting the alchemy talismans on the door as they quickly decomposed and reconstructed in his eyes.
"Buzz!"
Zane raised an eyebrow.
The alchemy runes on the door blossomed with golden light, then accelerated until radiating a blinding brilliance.
"Bang!!!"
With a heavy sound, the magic array collapsed at its limit, runes melting away.
"Ka..."
With the alchemy seal broken, the alloy metal door slowly slid open on both sides.
Zane peeked inside and immediately saw rows upon rows of stacked shelves in the inner warehouse.
The entrance shelves were filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
"D*mn! We hit the jackpot!"
Zane cursed silently, eyes shining.
He had already sensed many treasures carrying Evil God auras!
The auction house had been operating in the Endless Domain for so long; everyone knew they had amassed considerable wealth. Now it really showed!
Xia Xi followed Fang Heng into the hall, quickly scanning the surroundings and locking onto the aura at the deepest part of the treasury.
Seed of Ouroboros aura!
"Sir Beetle King, it’s there."
Fang Heng glanced at Zane, who was already itching to start, and nodded.
"Split up."
"Got it!"
Zane quickly transformed into a shadow, darting across the shelves, swiftly absorbing the treasures carrying Evil God auras.
Xia Xi led Fang Heng deeper into the treasury.
Until they reached a corner at the bottom.
Xia Xi stopped, raised her head, and focused her gaze on a three-tier shelf against the wall.
The top shelf held three full rows of obsidian boxes.
Twenty-two in total.
Each box was bound by thick, locked chains, and both the chains and the boxes’ outer surfaces were inscribed with sealing runes.
Xia Xi looked up to confirm, then nodded.
"Not bad. The boxes should all be here."
Fang Heng’s gaze focused on the outer sealed chains on the boxes. The God’s Eye in his right pupil spun rapidly again.
"Chi, chi chi chi..."
The runes emitted hissing sounds and dark light.
"Bang! Bang!"
After a few breaths, all the sealing chains binding the boxes shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, faint Ouroboros clan marks were engraved on the outer surface of the boxes.
Xia Xi checked the runes and respectfully said, "Sir Beetle King, these boxes were left by the previous Beetle King. They require the power of the Ouroboros bloodline to open."
Fang Heng stepped forward half a step, reached out, and gently pressed on a box.
Chi!
A sharp needle immediately shot out from the box surface, piercing Fang Heng’s finger.
Blood seeped into the box.
"Ka, ka ka ka..."
The box verified the Seed of Ouroboros blood. The rune grooves on the surface slowly contracted, and the box opened gradually from the inside.
Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Inside the box was a full crate of extremely high-concentration top-tier elemental cores!
"Not bad."
Even vampires, after months of collecting, could not gather so many top-tier elemental cores.
The previous Beetle King had indeed left him a fortune.
