Chapter 1078: Opening the Treasure Chests
Chapter 1078: Opening the Treasure Chests
In Youzhou, Liaoxi Prefecture, at Shanhaiguan, where the Mysterious Gate is located, a large number of foreign demons gather.
Strangely enough, ever since the Mysterious Gate opened and the foreign demons descended, regardless of how much their domain expanded, there has always been a group of foreign demons guarding this side of the gate, as if their main camp had been set up here all along.
The fact that the foreign demons attach such importance to this gate and are so unwilling to leave it clearly indicates that it holds great significance for them.
It seems that Lu Hai Kong will have to focus his efforts on the Mysterious Gate if he wants to defeat the foreign demons.
However, given the current level of defense the foreign demons have set up around the gate, even if Lu Hai Kong didn't realize the gate's importance, it would still be a challenging task to destroy it.
Of course, at the moment, Lu Hai Kong doesn't seem to have any intention of launching a direct assault. He is currently busy opening treasure chests, and while he is doing so, in a house located in one of the towns built by the scattered cultivators over several months near the Mysterious Gate, several foreign demons gather.
If Lu Hai Kong were to appear here, he would likely recognize four of the five demons in the house, as they are the same ones he had previously encountered and defeated.
Lu Hai Kong had been ruthless in his attacks, and these four demons were clearly severely injured, even though some time had passed. Although they appeared no different from before, still shrouded in a bloody mist, their auras were noticeably weaker.
Those who are unfamiliar with their condition may not realize the severity of their injuries, but anyone with a keen eye could tell at a glance that these demons were badly wounded.
Among those in the house, in addition to the four seemingly pathetic subordinates of Lu Hai Kong, there was another individual. This person was the only one among the five who was not enveloped in the bloody mist.
Dressed in a long scholar's robe, he appeared to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with sleek black hair and a handsome face. His blood-red eyes stood out prominently.
The crimson-eyed scholar looked at the four foreign demons before him, more specifically at their pitiful state, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I was only gone for a short while, and you've ended up in such a miserable state. Even Cheng Yaojin was captured. It seems that Lu Hai Kong is incredibly powerful."
As soon as the scholar spoke, it was evident that the four demons exuded black gas, clearly feeling resentful. The one sitting on the left of the scholar responded,
"I can't say how strong he is, but that guy is very cunning. It's as if he knew about our ambush plan in advance and prepared countermeasures. He first injured three of our members with his props, and then used props to restrict our props and martial general abilities, leading to our defeat."
The hint of bitterness in his tone was palpable to everyone present, but the scholar didn't seem to care about the demon's feelings. His attention was focused on the demon's words.
"Regardless, the fact that Lu Hai Kong saw through your trap and managed to injure you proves that this extraordinary individual is indeed exceptional and not an easy opponent."
"What's so difficult about dealing with him? His props are obviously his trump cards, and once they're used up, he'll be left without them. Once we've recovered, we'll gather our troops and eliminate that bastard Lu Hai Kong..."
The demon on the scholar's right was speaking passionately, but before he could finish, he swallowed his words under the scholar's gaze.
It wasn't until the demon stopped talking that the scholar withdrew his gaze, "I understand how you feel, but we didn't come here for a petty argument. Since Lu Hai Kong is a tough nut to crack, we'll set him aside for now.
On my recent trip back, the situation on our lord's side is not favorable, so we can't afford to engage in a protracted battle here. For now, we'll just keep an eye on Lu Hai Kong's side, and after we've eliminated Gongsun Zan to strengthen our forces, we can deal with him."
It was clear that the scholar held a high position among this group of demons, and his words carried weight. Despite the four demons feeling resentful towards Lu Hai Kong, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
As the four lowered their heads, the scholar was about to say something, but at that moment, a slightly playful voice interrupted,
"Hey, everyone's here! How lively!"
As the voice sounded, Qin Mu entered the room.
Upon seeing Qin Mu, the scholar stopped mid-sentence, and his gaze towards Qin Mu carried a hint of strangeness.
...
While the scholar and Qin Mu met at the Mysterious Gate, Lu Hai Kong had already begun his grand endeavor of opening treasure chests in a training ground within Lingzhi City.
With eight Mythic and five Legendary treasure chests, along with a quest reward and a Heaven and Earth Blessing, this was arguably the most lavish collection of treasure chests Lu Hai Kong had encountered since arriving in this world. He eagerly anticipated the rewards he might receive.
Treasure chests are private, and no one can see their contents unless the owner allows it.
In the 1619 Book Bar, there is a version with no errors!
Therefore, Lu Hai Kong didn't bother sealing off the training ground completely. He simply cleared out the people and dispatched a team to handle any potential transportation of resources. Of course, if possible, Lu Hai Kong would prefer not to rely on these individuals, as he currently had no shortage of resources. He hoped that if the treasure chests contained large objects, they would be Automaton Beasts.
With this hope in mind, Lu Hai Kong opened the five Legendary treasure chests in his possession, and then proceeded to open them all at once.
As soon as Lu Hai Kong opened the five Legendary treasure chests, he immediately felt several shadows appear above his head, indicating that he had inadvertently summoned large objects again.
Lu Hai Kong looked up and was momentarily stunned, "Is this for real? I was just wishing for Automaton Beasts, and they actually appeared?"
Without hesitation, Lu Hai Kong quickly regained his composure and moved aside.
Almost simultaneously, several loud rumbling noises filled the air as several massive Automaton Beasts descended onto the training ground.
Gazing at the enormous and formidable Automaton Beasts, Lu Hai Kong felt incredibly fortunate, as if Lady Luck had smiled upon him...
