Chapter 1040 - Massive Loot
Chapter 1040: Massive Loot
The entrance to the first floor of the pagoda seemed to lead to another dimension. The moment Tang Hao stepped in, he found himself in a forest.
The surroundings were in chaos. There were fierce battles and screams everywhere.
Many ferocious beasts were fighting with the cultivators.
“Croak croak!”
A giant toad could be heard croaking from afar. It was as loud as thunder, which caused the people’s ears to ring.
Tang Hao was shocked. If the croak was already so loud, he could imagine how powerful the beast must be.
He rushed in that direction. Soon, he saw the giant toad. Its body gleamed with pure gold.
It lay prone there. As it opened its mouth, the shadow of a whip lashed out, grabbed several people, and swallowed them.
There was a stone door behind it, and the people were trying to get to that door.
Obviously, that was the entrance to the next floor.
Tang Hao changed his appearance and looked around. He moved among the crowd and rushed to the door.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!”
Some people cried in agony as the toad swallowed them.
Tang Hao was moving extremely fast. In an instant, he arrived in front of the door and rushed in.
The second floor was a fiery volcanic landscape. Boiling lava was everywhere.
He could hear the angry cries of birds not far away.
A giant red bird was perched in the lava pool. It flapped its wings, which caused waves of lava to surge in all directions.
The people flew in the sky and tried to dodge it.
Tang Hao went closer and noticed that the entrance to the next floor was on a small reef in the middle of the lava pool. It was harder to reach there than the previous floor.
People tried to dash to the door from time to time, but most of them were forced back. Only a small portion of them could break through.
Tang Hao waited for a while. When he saw the right opportunity, he activated the Fleetfoot Stride and dashed out. In the blink of an eye, he traveled several hundred meters and successfully dashed through the door.
The third floor was similar to the first floor. It was also a forest.
Tang Hao looked around and saw lightning flashes not far away. When he went over to take a look, he saw that it was actually a giant snake. Its entire body was covered in blue scales, and it was flickering with lightning.
“The lightning cobra!”
Tang Hao’s expression changed slightly.
He looked around again and saw the people from the three major factions. There were some blood lions and black tigers too.
They had tried to rush past the snake several times, but they were all forced back.
The lightning cobra had surpassed the State of the Nascent Soul and was in the State of Path Seeking. Its strength could be said to be terrifying.
The lightning that emitted from its body was not ordinary purple lightning. Instead, it was slightly black in color, and it was far more powerful than purple lightning.
“Damn, that beast is too powerful!”
Everyone cursed and swore.
Even the primordial scions seemed pressured.
They had arrived at that floor a long time ago, but the snake had managed to stall them for more than ten minutes.
They might have primordial blood in them, but the beast in the State of Path Seeking was not afraid of them at all.
After Tang Hao, some people arrived from time to time. They all stopped in the distance and waited.
Some people in the crowd were looking at the primordial scions curiously.
“What are you looking at? Do you have a death wish?”
The leader of the blood lions roared and glared at them.
Everyone looked away, their expressions becoming more and more strange.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not say a word.
They could not mention what happened earlier. If those primordial scions found out about it, they would go on a rampage.
Many people tried to look for the kid in the crowd, but they did not see him. They heaved sighs of relief.
As the crowd grew, they became restless.
The primordial scions also became impatient. The two tribes discussed for a while before pouncing at the snake.
The intense battle broke out in an instant.
“This is our chance! Charge!”
The elder from the Lui family was overjoyed and dashed out first.
“Let’s go!”
The people from the Skyward Sect did not fall behind as well. They charged out together.
The primordial scions were furious when they saw that and roared a few times in that direction. However, no one cared about them. They seemed eager as they charged toward the door.
“Haha! Let me be the first!”
The Lui family elder laughed out loud. He dodged several lightning bolts and was the first to approach the door.
“Hmph!”
The people from the Skyward Sect followed closely behind. They activated their sword qi and attacked.
“Not so fast!”
The elder from Greenspark Mountain also caught up. He reached out and grabbed the Lui family elder.
“F*ck! Are you shameless?”
The elder from the Lui family was shocked. He had no choice but to stop and defend against the two attacks.
The three of them began to fight, though they continued to move toward the door.
While they were engaged in a fierce battle, a figure caught up with them at an incredible speed. Swoosh! It soon overtook them and arrived in front of the door.
“You guys take your time. I’m leaving first!”
Before entering, that guy turned around and sneered at them.
The three of them were stunned. Their faces twitched a few times, and they felt like vomiting blood.
Where did that guy come from? How could he be so fast?
They looked at each other and grunted in unison. At the same time, they stopped fighting and rushed toward the door.
The fourth floor was completely different. It was also a vast space, but it was no longer a forest. Instead, it was densely packed with the corpses of all kinds of beasts.
The corpses seemed to be preserved as specimens.
The big ones were as tall as a small hill, and the small ones were only the size of fingernails.
Tang Hao looked at them. They were of little value, so he did not linger for too long. He had to be quick, so he tried his best not to take anything useless.
He passed through a door at the end and arrived at the fifth floor.
That floor was filled with shelves with all kinds of eggs on them.
“Wow!”
Tang Hao exclaimed, and his eyes lit up.
“They’re all mine now!”
He took out his bag of holding and rushed over to collect all the eggs.
After he was done, a group of people appeared at the entrance.
They stomped their feet in anger when they saw the empty shelves.
“Stop!”
“Leave the treasures behind!”
They roared and rushed over.
Tang Hao rushed through the door and arrived at the sixth floor. There were also shelves filled with boxes. When he opened them, he saw that they were all spiritual materials and medicinal herbs.
“I’m rich!”
Tang Hao was overjoyed. He took out the bags of holding and began to loot again.
He activated the capturing technique, and boxes flew over one by one and entered the bags.
Just as he finished looting, the people arrived. Seeing that scene, they were so angry that they spat out blood.
“Stop!”
They roared and continued to chase.
Tang Hao put away the bags and rushed into the next floor.
He continued to loot the next few levels until he was getting tired of looting. Those people would come just a little too late and chase after him.
Soon, Tang Hao rushed into the tenth floor.
There were many platforms in the shape of golden lotuses. On each platform was a bone hovering in the air. Each of them had different colors, and they shone with a hazy brilliance.
“That’s…”
Tang Hao looked around and was stunned.
