Chapter 974 – Special Treasure

Not long after Ouyang Shuo entered the deep mountains, he heard shouts spreading out from behind. A Divine Martial Guard ran over, “My king, we found a cave.”

“Go, let’s go take a look.”

Very quickly, Ouyang Shuo and his group arrived outside a cave that was covered by shrubs. As it was totally covered by veins and leaves, and the stone had a lot of algae growing on it due to the passage of time, if one did not look carefully, they would definitely miss it.

Ouyang Shuo praised, “Thankfully, you are all attentive.”

When the young Divine Martial Guard heard that, he puffed his chest up more as he tried to hide his happiness. To them, getting praised by the king was the greatest honor and one that gave them bragging rights for an entire lifetime.

Clawing aside the shrub, a pitch black mountain cave appeared in front of them.

“Torch!”

Ouyang Shuo said as he walked into the cave.

The Divine Martial Guards lit up torches and followed Ouyang Shuo into the cave. Xu Chu was like an iron tower, quietly following behind the king. His eyes were brimming with energy and focus as he paid attention to the surroundings.

After walking forward for about 20 meters, he suddenly arrived at a vast and empty space. Stalactites hung down from above the ceiling, and one could hear the dripping sounds of water droplets.

Ouyang Shuo had an idea and followed the sound of water.

Using the light of the torch, Ouyang Shuo saw the most unusual stalactite. It was totally white like milk; it was luscious, shiny, and even gave out a nice scent.

Below it was a little pool the size of a face washing basin. The sound of the water droplets came from when the white liquid from the stalactite fell into the pool.

The pool was already half full with the white liquid; it looked like it was filled with milk.

If one came close to the pool, one could smell an even thicker scent. Not only that, but it was totally refreshing, opening up all your pours and making you feel really good.

Ouyang Shuo’s eyes contracted because he knew that he had come into contact with a treasure.

“Luck is truly a magical thing. Finally, I have a fortuitous encounter.” Ouyang Shuo was delighted as he used his scouting technique on the pool.

Ten Thousand Year Stalactite (Platinum Rank): rare spirit item; it can be directly used to increase cultivation and can also be made into pills.

“What a treasure!”

Ouyang Shuo was delighted. He took out four yellow-colored flasks from his storage bag.

This was not a normal flask. Rather, it was a really precious tool used to store medicine in liquid form. Not only could it ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, but it could also increase it.

The four flasks were gifts from Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing.

Since he was entering a treasure mountain, how could Ouyang Shuo go home empty handed? The four flasks were filled up to the brim with the liquid. He did not even miss out on a single drop.

“Here!”

Ouyang Shuo passed one of the flasks to Xu Chu.

“My king?”

Even the usually calm Xu Chu had an expression filled with surprise. As a general, his cultivation was amazing. Naturally, he could feel that the liquid was extraordinary.

Never did he expect the king to give such a gift to him.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “This is the ten thousand year stalactite. After use, it can increase one’s cultivation. When you return to the ship, arrange the three thousand Divine Martial Guards and share it with them.”

“Thank you my king for your good grace.”

The iron-willed man seemed like he was about to be touched to tears.

“Thank you my king for your good grace!”

When the Divine Martial Guards around saw that, they all bowed to express their gratitude.

Being able to meet such a ruler, they would obviously be willing to give up their lives for him.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, and he stored the remaining three flasks in his storage bag. The Divine Martial Guards were his most loyal soldiers. Since there were benefits, how could he forget them?

Furthermore, this raised their strength, which was the same as raising his safety. Since he could use this to make them happy too, why not?

The dynasty title of Great Xia was Shenwu, and Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied with the strength of the current Divine Martial Guards. He was looking forward to building a truly invincible guard to follow him as he conquered the world.

The ten thousand year stalactite was probably a good chance.

In the entire hall, there was just this small pool, and there were no other treasures. On the other hand, there was a staircase on the left. It looked really deep and one could not see clearly.

“Let’s go!”

Ouyang Shuo led the way as he walked toward the steps.

Staircases meant that there were intelligent life forms, which proved that they did not come to the wrong place.

As expected, this staircase went down. Additionally, it was not a straight staircase. Rather, it was a spiral one that went around the mountain. There was spiral after spiral as it went underground.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that if they were on the outside, they would have been underwater. This mountain was not just floating on the ocean surface after all. It still had to take root somewhere.

Thinking about it, one would feel absolutely terrified. The Lemuria people were able to hide the tracks of such a huge mountain. Moreover, they could ensure that they would not unknowingly crash into ships. Who knows what technology they used?

Ouyang Shuo’s guesses were correct.

The further they went down, the bigger the circumference of the spiral; this revealed that the body of the mountain peak got bigger as they went down. As they headed further down, it became no different from a small land.

“Increase our speed!” Ouyang Shuo ordered.

The further they went, the thinner the air, and even the well trained Divine Martial Guards felt that it was hard to breathe. Only by reaching their destination quickly could they be at ease.

Since the Lemuria people were living in caves, they definitely had other ways to ventilate.

Three hours passed like this before they finally saw some shining blue light coming up from the bottom. It was like they had arrived in some fantasy land.

The further they went, the brighter the blue light became.

Finally, Ouyang Shuo saw a huge blue hall standing at the end of the staircase. The originally thin air instantly went back to normal, letting Ouyang Shuo heave a sigh of relief.

Entering the hall, one could see that it was a perfect circle that stretched for over 800 meters. Its ceiling was oval shaped.

The entire hall was made up of a special blue stone that emitted the blue light.

The hall was beautifully built. Each corner had statues that were lifelike, showing off the eye-catching artistic ability of the craftsman.

The entire hall was a work of art.

It was not hard to guess that although the Lemuria people were living underground, their artistic skills had reached a freakishly high level.

This was a race that lived a really meticulous life.

Even the statues and buildings in Atlantis could not compare to the ones in front of him.

Who knows, maybe this was just the tip of the iceberg. Ouyang Shuo was getting more and more curious about this mysterious civilization.

At this very moment, someone spoke from who knows where.

“Fated person, welcome to the Lemuria Empire!”
