Chapter 2396  Explosion! The Mysterious and Terrifying Beast Skin! (1)

At the entrance of the treasure vault.

The members of the five major families waited for Wang Teng to emerge.

Before long, a figure emerged from the towering heap of treasures, with three items floating behind him.

A piece of ore!

A jade box!

A scroll made of beast skin!

The elders of the five families exchanged glances, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. They were all astonished by Wang Teng's final choice.

Choosing the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold and the star core was quite expected, but that piece of beast skin scroll truly caught them off guard.

"Wang Teng, are you sure about choosing this beast skin scroll?" Hengzang Bo asked.

"Yes," nodded Wang Teng, feigning curiosity as he asked, "Do any of you know what this is?"

"We do not. I stumbled upon this beast skin scroll in a perilous place, and to this day, its nature eludes me," Guizang Ling said hesitantly.

Hengzang Bo studied Wang Teng's expression carefully before saying, "We cannot guarantee if this beast skin scroll holds any value. You should consider carefully."

"It matters not. Obtaining these two treasures already counts as good fortune. Even if this beast skin scroll proves worthless, I have not lost out." Wang Teng smiled.

The corners of Hengzang Bo's mouth twitched. Why did these words sound so uncomfortable?

It had to be admitted that the Dragon Blood Crimson Gold and the precious star core were indeed extremely rare treasures. Even they felt a pang of pain.

However, upon hearing Wang Teng's words, their doubts were dispelled.

Perhaps Wang Teng was just curious about that piece of beast skin scroll.

"Since that's the case, we won't say much more," Hengzang Bo nodded, leading the way out of the treasure vault.

Wang Teng also breathed a sigh of relief, stashing the three treasures into his space ring.

Only when these three treasures were safely secured did he truly relax? After all, what if the five major families had a change of heart?

All three items were of immense value, coveted even by eternal-stage warriors. There was no guarantee that the five major families wouldn't reconsider. Just by observing the expressions of Hengzang Chuan and the other family heads, it was clear they were feeling the pinch.

But once these treasures entered Wang Teng's pocket, there was no reason to take them out again. Their distress was their own concern. He couldn't be bothered with that much.

Moreover, these treasures were highly beneficial to him. Encountering them was simply fate, destined to be his, hahaha…

Thinking of this, Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh in his mind.

Round Ball was speechless. Look at how pleased this guy was, completely losing himself in triumph.

But it was understandable. Not to mention the value of the unnamed beast skin scroll, just the worth of the other two treasures alone was likely to exceed 10,000 Chaos Coins.

The five major families certainly made a hefty sacrifice this time.

After Wang Teng and the others exited the treasure trove, with a resounding boom, the great doors automatically closed, sealing once more. No one knew when they would open again.

Wang Teng didn't look back. He was afraid he couldn't resist the temptation. he left the core area of the five families with a lingering sense of reluctance, eager to return and study the beast skin scroll.

"Councilor Wang Teng, there are still many matters concerning the Five Burial Stars that require our attention. We won't disturb you any longer. If you're interested, you can have Xinnuo and the others accompany you to explore. It's a good opportunity to get to know the younger generation of warriors on the Five Burial Stars. Aside from our five families, there are many other talented youngsters from different families on the Five Burial Stars," Hengzang Bo said after escorting Wang Teng and the others to the door.

"Alright, I won't trouble you any further." Wang Teng nodded.

Hengzang Bo and the others smiled and nodded, taking a step forward and disappearing on the spot.

Hengzang Chuan and the family heads also bid farewell and left. They now felt a pang in their hearts whenever they saw Wang Teng. Not only had he tricked them into giving him a Five Burial Token and 100 Chaos Coins, but now he had also acquired three treasures. Those treasures made even them green with envy, yet they had to be handed over to an outsider. Who could endure such a thing?

Hengzang Mo and his friends left as well. They truly feared that Wang Teng would find an excuse to beat them up. Now that he had the words of the elders, he could beat them up without any reason.

Silence.

Wang Teng felt speechless as he watched the figures flee.

"Am I really that terrifying?" He touched his nose, then turned to ask Yizang Xinnuo and the others beside him.

"Ignore them. They act all high and mighty usually, but when they encounter someone stronger, they cower like this," Shouzang Caiyun said disdainfully.

Yizang Xinnuo covered her mouth and chuckled, finding it rather amusing. It was rare to see Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and others so afraid of a peer.

"Brother Wang Teng, let's accompany you and explore around. There are many interesting places on the Five Burial Stars that you haven't seen yet," Guizang Zhu interjected.

"Um… maybe next time. I still have some matters to attend to," Wang Teng hesitated.

"Oh, alright then. But if you ever go out again, you must remember to call me," Guizang Zhu pouted disappointedly but still nodded obediently.

Wang Teng naturally agreed. Enduring the favors of a beauty was the hardest. Not only Guizang Zhu, but Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun also wore expressions of resentment, making his scalp tingle. He dared not even turn to look at them.

"I'll go back to my room first!"

Wang Teng slipped away instantly after leaving these words behind.

"Damn, you're heartless!" Round Ball was stunned.

Yizang Xinnuo and the others didn't expect Wang Teng to just slip away like that. They stood there in a daze for three seconds before snapping out of it.

"He… he ran away just like that?" Shouzang Caiyun asked incredulously.
