Chapter 1096 - 985: Giant Spirit Skeletons
Tang Qi answered seriously: "Your question is quite good. Let me tell you, I just put this Divine World's ruins into this Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace. I used this Divine World ruins to set up the final trial here! Whether there are treasures left behind by the Divine World Martial Artists in this Divine World ruins, I truly don't know!""Senior Tang, do you know why the Martial Artists from the Divine World had to run away?"
One Martial Artist asked.
"This place is the Ancient God Ruins. The Ancient God once suffered a calamity, reportedly related to the world-destroying storm!"
Tang Qi answered.
Duan Gujin's brow slightly furrowed; he hesitated to fully believe Tang Qi's answer.
"Everyone, let's search around here to see if we can find any valuable treasures?"
Suddenly, Tang Qi spoke to everyone.
"Alright!"
Many Martial Artists became very excited; they realized they were standing on an Ancient God Ruins and might discover some valuable treasures inside.
So, they dispersed in all directions, starting to search for treasures.
"I'll also take a look around!"
Seeing other Martial Artists searching for treasures nearby, Duan Gujin joined them in searching for treasures in the ruins.
Of course, he wasn't just searching for treasures; his goal was simple—to find out whether the ruins they were in were truly the Ancient God Ruins.
He wanted to find some clues in the ruins before him to prove its identity.
However, he searched for nearly half a stick of incense but couldn't find any treasures.
The only valuable clue was the discovery of over a thousand skeletons in a large pit in the ruins.
He noticed those skeletons were enormous, and upon arranging some on the ground, found they were at least five meters tall, with very sturdy bones.
"What species were these skeletons from, and why are they so large and robust? Could this species be the legendary Giant Spirit Clan?"
He remembered the legendary and extinct Giant Spirit Clan and began searching the skeletons for clues.
However, even after flipping through all the skeletons, he still didn't find any valuable treasures.
"Why are there no Dark Weapons or accessories around these skeletons? Were they once slaughtered, their treasures stolen, and then their bodies dumped here?"
In his mind, scenes of the past quickly flashed through, making him feel a bit terrified.
He decided to check some smaller skeletons to analyze their former cultivation.
After examining over twenty skeletons over a while, he reached a conclusion.
"The smaller skeletons once had cultivation at least in the Shattering Void Realm, while the larger skeletons had cultivation above the Demigod Realm! Wow, this species must have incredibly strong cultivation talent!"
Tang Qi didn't bother checking what people were doing here; he knew very well once the Human Warriors came in, they'd surely think they might find some treasures here.
If he didn't allow them to look for treasures here, they might not follow his orders later.
Thus, Tang Qi didn't mind wasting time; he simply wanted those Human Warriors to lose hope.
He had previously sent people to search this giant ruin but hadn't found any valuable treasures.
Moreover, he felt that even if the Martial Artists found some past treasures here, they would be useless.
He was now more concerned about whether the squad he led would merge with the hundred Human Warriors.
He could control this squad now, but he couldn't control the other one.
Besides, the other Human Warrior squad was too large; he had no absolute confidence in controlling it.
Two hours later, Tang Qi released a flare.
Seeing the flare in the sky, nearby people understood it was time to return.
Quickly, everyone gathered around Tang Qi.
Tang Qi asked: "Did anyone find treasure here? If anyone did, please step forward. I am not going to take your treasure, just curious to know if anyone actually found treasures here?"
Yet, the scene fell silent as if void.
"None of you found treasure?"
After a while, Tang Qi asked.
Inside, he mocked the outcome, which he had already anticipated, for he had searched here too before and knew it was unlikely to have any undiscovered treasures.
Still, no one answered his question.
Seeing this, Tang Qi felt pleased, but didn't show it, just said calmly: "Everyone, outside this Divine World ruins there are no treasures, but the true treasures are in the central Divine Temple of these ruins, and Quan Douhe is also there. Now, rest a bit, and we will depart together! Once you help me slay Quan Douhe, I'll give you the treasures inside the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace!"
The Martial Artists present showed no change in expression upon hearing Tang Qi's words; they were not foolish and felt more frightened instead.
In their hearts, the same thought flashed: "Once we help you eliminate Quan Douhe, you'll eliminate us!"
Previously, they were waiting for those hundred Divine World Martial Artists to arrive.
To their disappointment, they still hadn't seen those hundred come.
They all knew well the situation they were in; they weren't hoping to get treasures from Tang Qi and then leave.
"Returning alive would be good enough!"
Many Martial Artists shared the same thought.
"Let's move!"
Tang Qi immediately led everyone onward toward the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.
However, before they reached ten kilometers, they saw a large group of living creatures appear suddenly in front.
"Something's happening ahead, everyone stay alert!"
Seeing those creatures, Tang Qi instructed everyone to be vigilant.
Duan Gujin and others initially thought the creatures ahead were Divine World Martial Artists, but as they got a better look at the large group of creatures in front, they each grew tense.
"So many Exotic Realm Creatures! There are at least two hundred Exotic Realm Creatures ahead!"
Once they saw the number of Exotic Realm Creatures, everyone gasped and their hearts began to pound.
They knew the numerical disadvantage they faced; there were at least two hundred Exotic Realm Creatures ahead, while they numbered barely over twenty.
And moreover, Tang Qi was not someone they could trust.
The Martial Artists present had no desire to be betrayed by Tang Qi and wouldn't risk their lives for him against the Exotic Realm Creatures ahead.
