Chapter 1477: Huge Harvest
Chapter 1477: Huge Harvest
Seeing Yi Feng step forward so frankly, the Youth in Black also revealed himself. However, when he saw the two demons, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft..."
"Hahahaha!"
"This is killing me! I've traveled far and wide for years, but I've never seen anything so hilarious. You can't even open the door to the treasury, so how did you ever come up with the idea of stealing from it?"
When the Toad and the snail got a clear look at the newcomer and realized he wasn't wearing the attire of the Tianyuan Sect, they let their guard down just a little.
Hearing the laughter, however, the Toad tightly gripped its giant fork again, an indignant look plastered across its face!
"Damn it!"
"What's so funny, you jerk! I just don't understand human formations, what's so strange about that!"
Hearing this, the Youth in Black didn't lose his momentum in the slightest. Crossing his arms over his chest, he mocked them again.
"Alright, alright."
"With your meager skills, you're not cut out for stealing treasure at all. Move aside and let Yours Truly open this treasury!"
Hearing these words, the Toad and the snail exchanged a quiet glance, their eyes revealing their surprise.
"What?"
"Could it be that you're here to steal the treasure too? We were here first, why should we let you have it!"
Seeing the Toad so indignant, its massive figure refused to yield a single inch.
The Youth in Black also stood in opposition with a proud and arrogant expression, his aura rising once more.
If this stalemate continued, a fight was bound to break out.
They really both had tempers.
If things went on like this, not only would they fail to steal the treasure, but they would probably stir up major trouble.
Yi Feng watched helplessly and chuckled softly, stepping forward a few paces to persuade them.
"We are all here for the treasure and have no grudges against one another. There's no need to fight here. Besides, this is the Tianyuan Sect's treasury. If we make too much noise, it won't be good for any of us."
Hearing this, the Youth in Black merely looked at the Toad and gave a cold snort, too lazy to pay it any more mind.
The Toad pondered for a moment, glanced back at the snail, gave a slight nod, and then lowered its eyes to look at Yi Feng.
"What you say makes sense. It's much more pleasant to hear than what this guy is saying."
"Then tell us, what should we do!"
Yi Feng smiled upon hearing this and looked toward the massive doors of the treasury.
"You took care of the guards at the door, which was no small effort, but being unable to break the formation on the door renders it useless. As it happens, my brother here knows a thing or two about formations. Why don't we cooperate and split the treasures inside equally?"
Hearing this, the Toad and the snail exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.
"That is a way."
"You said split equally, so you better keep your word!"
Although its words were imposing, its tone had improved significantly. Clearly, they had a favorable impression of the reasonable Yi Feng, or at least a preliminary sense of trust for cooperation.
On the other hand, Yi Feng also felt that these two monsters were quite sensible and knew when to compromise, making them much better than the worldly people who would forget greater principles for petty gains.
After a few brief exchanges.
Yi Feng gave the Youth in Black a meaningful look.
The youth nodded slightly and walked straight to the treasury door. He cast a sideways, smiling glance at the large Toad behind him before confidently examining the giant door and speaking with a laugh.
"Little Toad, watch closely and learn. I'll let you witness my methods!"
Hearing this, the Toad wore a somewhat disdainful expression.
But the very next moment.
The Youth in Black began to channel his spiritual energy. His hands formed complex hand seals, tracing intricate formation patterns with his spiritual energy. Within a few breaths, the giant door actually began to slowly open!
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by a deep, muffled sound, the massive stone doors continuously began to rise. A dazzling radiance of jewels and treasures burst forth from within, shocking the group into expressions of wild ecstasy.
The Toad's eyes widened even more, its face filled with disbelief!
"This!"
Looking again at the slightly diminutive black-clad figure before it, a look of utter shock clearly surfaced on the Toad's face!
The Youth in Black, however, didn't even turn his head. He crossed his arms over his chest, his face full of pride.
"Now you know how amazing I am!"
Only as Yi Feng stepped forward did he steadily follow, walking toward the depths of the treasury that shone with brilliant light. The snail also slowly wriggled after them.
Watching the group proceed one after another.
The Toad's eyes also burned with passion. It gritted its teeth, gave a grunt of acknowledgment, and strode inside while clutching its giant fork.
"F-fine, you're amazing!"
Before long.
The two humans and two monsters entered the depths of the treasury. Gazing at the mountains of spirit stones and immortal herbs, they cheered in excitement. The Toad continuously began to swallow mouthfuls of various exotic flowers and rare herbs, while the Youth in Black charged into a mountain of silver and coins, laughing incessantly.
For a time, the treasury was filled with the purest sounds of hearty laughter!
Meanwhile.
Late at night in the grand hall of the Tianyuan Sect's Sect Master.
Jin Zhenyuan was resting and cultivating on a soft couch when suddenly, a bright pearl resting on the jade table beside him began to flash incessantly, startling him into snapping his eyes open!
Staring at the continuously flashing light, a look of suspicion and alarm rose in his eyes.
"The treasury has actually been opened?"
In the next instant, Jin Zhenyuan suddenly realized something. He then abruptly took out the jade slip he kept on him and frantically issued an order!
"Not good!"
"Four Great Elders, rush to the treasury immediately!!!"
After giving the urgent order, Jin Zhenyuan also hurriedly stepped out, flying swiftly toward the back mountain!
Inside the treasury.
The eyes of the two humans and two demons were filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest!
The endless wealth of spiritual treasures was a haul unlike anything they had ever seen in their lives. The Toad devoured various spiritual herbs and pills without stopping for a moment, while the Youth in Black took out over ten spatial rings and filled them with gold, silver, and treasures!
The snail seemed somewhat calm, merely eating various rare and precious materials at a sluggish pace.
By comparison.
Yi Feng appeared much more clear-headed. Aside from collecting a few wealthy spiritual treasures, he set his sights on several sealed brocade boxes and small chests. Opening them, he actually discovered various cultivation techniques. After a brief inspection, he selected them based on their grade and stored them in his spatial ring.
In just a few breaths, Yi Feng had finished his work and wrapped up.
He knew very well that although this trip seemed to yield massive rewards, the risks were equally immense!
At such a critical moment, being overly greedy was definitely not a wise move.
As the saying goes: men die for wealth, just as birds die for food.
Who knows how many people had fallen victim to their own greed. Now that they were deep within the Tianyuan Sect's treasury, they had to race against time. After obtaining enough wealth, they needed to know when to stop and retreat. They absolutely could not be overly greedy for the riches before their eyes.
Otherwise, once the matter was exposed and the entire Tianyuan Sect came to besiege them, there would be no way out!
Knowing the situation was critical, Yi Feng immediately sought out the Youth in Black after finishing collecting his treasures, calling out for him to leave!
"Brother!"
"That's enough, let's retreat quickly!"
The Youth in Black was laughing heartily as he packed up mountains of gold and silver. Seeing that he had already filled ten spatial rings snatched from the Tianyuan Sect's protectors, he still had two rings left, waiting to pack the two mountains of gold right in front of him.
Right at this crucial moment, retreating suddenly naturally left him feeling unwilling!
"Brother! Wait for me! Just wait a little longer!"
Seeing that he was somewhat losing control of himself, Yi Feng couldn't bother saying more and hastily stepped forward to grab him.
"Let's go!"
"Brother, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
"If there's a next time, when we come back to the treasury, I'll definitely let you take away these mountains of gold!"
Next time?
Hearing these words, the Youth in Black felt a sharp pain in his heart.
But looking at Yi Feng's anxious expression, he also knew that his brother would never harm him. He was even more aware that every passing breath increased the risk!
Left with no choice, the Youth in Black could only grit his teeth and turn his head, cursing under his breath!
"Ahhh, my mountains of gold!"
"When we come next time, Yours Truly is going to haul all of this away!"
The two brothers pulled each other away, extremely reluctant. Just as they were about to step out of the treasury, they realized that Toad was still inside, devouring pills and spirit herbs. Who knew how many pounds he had eaten; his belly was already bulging, yet he showed no signs of stopping, continually swallowing mouthful after mouthful!
Now this was true greed!
The two watched with their eyelids twitching wildly, and out of loyalty, they tugged at Toad!
"Hurry up! Let's go!"
Who knew this guy was so heavy? His massive body did not budge an inch. He still wore a look of utter bliss, completely oblivious to the fact that a long time had passed and that staying any longer would lead to disaster!
He really was careless, valuing food over his own life!
The Youth in Black grew anxious and jumped up on the spot to deliver a punch!
"Bang!"
Toad was knocked to the ground on the spot, finally stopping his devouring. A large bump swelled on his head as he was startled awake, looking back at the two with a mixture of shock and anger!
Before he could utter a word in protest, the Youth in Black unleashed a barrage of scolding!
"Eat, eat, eat!"
"If you keep eating, you will lose your life!"
Toad was still a bit indignant. He scrambled up with an angry look, but unexpectedly, the Youth in Black channeled his spiritual energy and forcefully dragged him out of the treasury!
It was not until they stepped out of the treasury that they realized the snail had not come out yet.
The sluggish pace made Yi Feng's eyes blaze with frustration. He only then remembered that normal snails were inherently slow creatures. Looking back, they could already see figures flying over through the night sky from afar, causing the hearts of the three guys to sink.
Caring about nothing else, Yi Feng also channeled his spiritual energy, rushed back in, hoisted the snail onto his shoulder, and led the three of them fleeing all the way.
Along the way, they indeed encountered disciples of the Tianyuan Sect, and even the Fourth Elder, Feng Mofeng!
