Chapter 3399: Treasure Chest

Fang Heng simply used his fingernail to cut open his finger, then flicked his bent finger slightly.
Drops of blood fell one by one onto the boxes and were quickly absorbed by their surfaces.
"Ka, ka ka ka ka..."
Rows of boxes slowly opened before Fang Heng’s eyes.
Fang Heng looked up.
The first three boxes contained various high-concentration elemental crystals. The next twelve boxes held extremely high-concentration spatial gemstones.
"Spatial gemstones, and the quantity matches," Xia Xi stepped forward to check and nodded slightly. She said, "The previous Beetle King retreated into cosmic space after being defeated by the God Clan, then entered the Endless Domain. It’s said he spent nearly all his reserved materials and resources to exchange for a batch of spatial gemstones."
"We don’t know the reason why the beetle king did this, but shortly after, he was gravely injured again and left the Endless Domain, eventually being hunted down and killed by the God Clan."
Fang Heng then shifted his gaze to the remaining seven boxes.
One was filled with black crystal currency.
The last six boxes had two with outer layers already broken.
Their contents were gone.
The remaining three boxes contained the severed limbs of unknown life forms.
All the limbs were half-parasitized by the Seed of Ouroboros.
In this semi-parasitic state, the severed limbs slowly released a special, unknown energy.
Fang Heng looked down carefully.
This was the same as the partially fused severed limbs of the Seed of Ouroboros stored in the first-floor exhibition hall.
The unknown energy carried spatial strength and corrosive power.
Probably the corrosive aura released by the fused limbs affected the boxes, causing the seals to break, which was discovered by the auction house personnel.
Fang Heng looked up again and focused on the last box.
"Huh?!"
His pupils suddenly contracted.
Inside the box was a tumor the size of a soccer ball, covered densely with raised Ouroboros blood vessels.
The tumor’s surface was covered with blood vessels, continuously releasing weak ripples.
It was a heart parasitized by the Seed of Ouroboros.
It was still active.
Fang Heng tilted his head toward Xia Xi.
Xia Xi also saw this bizarre form of a heart for the first time. She gently shook her head and said, "I don’t know. It seems the life form is resisting the fusion corrosion of Ouroboros. I’ve never seen this before. I need some time to research it. But I suspect this might be something the previous beetle king studied before death."
"Mm."
While they talked, a gray mist surged in.
Zane finished scavenging and recovered from his black fog form. He had several large, bulging sacks on him and nodded. "Brother Fang Heng, we’ve got almost everything. How’s it on your side? Should we get out of here quickly?"
Fang Heng pointed at more than twenty large boxes and asked, "Can you carry them all?"
Zane adjusted the large bags on his back, glanced at the boxes, and said, "A few hours ago, I definitely couldn’t handle it, but now my strength has recovered a lot. No problem. Give me some time, and I’ll get them all out."
"Half an hour, enough?"
"Ten minutes will do. Leave it to me."
Zane laughed and gradually summoned a phantom magic array beneath his feet.
"Fang Heng, brother, the five Kings of Gods are tough. Don’t be careless. Be very careful."
"Mm, once done, take Xia Xi and leave immediately. I have my own way to escape. We’ll meet at the initial planet."
"Okay."
After finishing his instructions, Fang Heng left Zane and Xia Xi behind and turned toward the underground treasury entrance.
He still didn’t know the strength level of the top fighters in the Endless Domain.
He reckoned that even if he couldn’t win, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.
At the treasury entrance, the guard team that had just gathered reinforcements saw Fang Heng exit the treasury and was startled. They quickly retreated toward the stairway.
D*mn.
Who could fight this guy?
Fang Heng stepped out of the treasury, glanced at the passage’s end, then turned his back and closed the two alloy metal doors of the treasury entrance again. He pressed his right hand at the center of the doors.
"Buzz..."
A dazzling purple holy light shimmered.
The dark magic array’s patterns quickly spread outward from his palm, stacking multiple sealing magic arrays.
"Done."
After finishing everything, Fang Heng released his hand, looked back at the passage, and stood casually at the treasury entrance, muttering to himself.
"Ten minutes..."
...
The chaos caused by the auction house quickly reached the God of Decay.
Seven of the God of Decay’s agents immediately rushed to the auction house.
By the time they really arrived, it was already ten minutes later.
So many years had passed, and no one had dared to cause trouble at the auction house before. This response speed was already extremely fast.
One of the agents, Kels, entered the first-floor hall, glanced at the messy hall, frowned, and asked, "What’s the situation?"
"There were three opponents. One was Zane, once a high-tier Evil God, now severely injured, with strength roughly at an elementary Evil God level. The two others were said to be the current Beetle King of the Seed of Ouroboros and a subordinate of the Beetle King. Manager Fayman had conflicts with them before."
The auction house manager, Rett, was also troubled.
He had just received the news and rushed to the auction house to understand the situation.
He didn’t know how Fayman had clashed with them.
Rett reported truthfully, "Sir, the opponents are very strong and extremely arrogant. Manager Fayman and three God followers died at their hands."
"Seed of Ouroboros..."
Kels muttered quietly.
He hadn’t heard that name in a long time.
The last time he heard it, it caused quite a commotion in the Endless Domain.
Kels calculated their strength, then suddenly noticed something. He looked back toward Pena among the crowd.
"Pena, you’re here too?"
"This matter is somewhat related to me. Zane was a friend of mine before."
"Oh?"
Kels became alert and looked at Pena, "Is this by the will of the Lord of Eternal Silence?"
Pena smiled, "No, my lord will not interfere with your actions. I follow my lord’s orders and only stay here to observe the situation with the Seed of Ouroboros."
"Good."
Kels nodded lightly and looked at Rett beside him, asking, "Where are they now?"
"They caused chaos on the first floor, looted many exhibits, then broke into the underground treasury. Our auction house guards are not strong enough and dare not go down to investigate. They are still guarding below."
The seven Kings of Gods’ agents glanced at each other.
"How long have they been in?"
"About ten minutes."
"High-tier Evil Gods already can teleport through faith. Even if their strength declines sharply due to external factors, this ability remains unaffected."
Kels thought for a moment, his face gradually turning cold. He said coldly, "I’m afraid they’ve already transferred part of the treasury’s treasures."
"Then..."
Rett looked troubled.
If things were lost from the treasury, their auction house would foresee a lot of trouble.
"Let’s go. Take us there."
"Yes!"
