Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 538 549: Treasury!

"Phew, it's finally over!"

Looking a bit disheveled, Lu Chuan watched as the lights and shadows that had been besieging him quickly disappeared, turning back behind the white jade gate, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This protective array of the ruins was truly formidable, with countless intimidating eighth-level lights and shadows emerging from it.

If it hadn't been for Little Qiqi knowing the core of this array and breaking it in time, it would have been nearly impossible for them to break through this time.

"Lu Chuan, how are you?"

Zhao Lin turned to look at the somewhat bruised and battered Lu Chuan, asking with some concern.

During this journey, it was the first time she saw Lu Chuan in such a sorry state.

Hearing this, Ji Ruxue, who had been secretly pleased for breaking the array, also snapped back to reality and quickly looked at Lu Chuan, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Thinking back, just now, there were hundreds of eighth-level lights and shadows attacking dad alone. It was almost inevitable to get hurt, and to hold on under such an attack for so long showed dad's great survival ability.

"I'm fine, just some superficial injuries, and fortunately, Little Qiqi broke the array in time."

Lu Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Although he had the Vajra Indestructible Body, he couldn't withstand so much eighth-level power besieging him.

However, his injuries were not severe due to the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Then, Lu Chuan looked at Ji Ruxue and asked, "Qiqi, now that we have entered the ruins, you know quite a lot about them. What do you think should be our next move, where should we go first?"

"Dad, we should go to the treasure vault first! There lies the treasures of the entire ruins. It should be one of the most important places here."

Hearing this, Ji Ruxue thought for a moment and communicated her choice to Lu Chuan.

Inside this treasure vault, not only are there various rare treasures but also different cultivation and combat techniques. These techniques are incredibly valuable, and in the past life, those techniques spread out and gained quite a reputation.

This time, Ji Ruxue was determined to obtain these good things.

"Alright, Qiqi, you lead the way. We'll head to the treasure vault first."

Upon hearing her, Lu Chuan nodded and agreed immediately.

He knew little about the items within these ruins, and now, with Ji Ruxue having clearer knowledge, he naturally respected her choice as the safest option.

"Okay."

Ji Ruxue nodded and quickly flew towards the right side of the ruins, where the treasure vault was located, with the two in tow.

Soon, after flying past more than a dozen massive structures, the three arrived at a majestically solemn giant palace.

The palace appeared like an ancient giant turtle lying on the ground, entirely in dark black, exuding an icy aura, occupying a significant area in these ruins.

The palace was constructed from black, strip-shaped giant stones, towering dozens of feet tall, stretching endlessly on both sides.

On the surface of those black giant stones were layers of complex golden sigils, frantically roaming, forming an array light curtain that protected the entire palace, even the large gate of the palace was shielded by array patterns.

Above, at the palace's height, hung a long stone plaque with several ancient characters inscribed on it.

Although Lu Chuan couldn't recognize those characters, he guessed they had something to do with the treasure vault.

Subsequently, led by Ji Ruxue, Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin arrived in front of the treasure vault's gate.

Looking at the tightly sealed gate, Ji Ruxue's eyes changed as she scrutinized the ever-shifting patterns on the gate.

Bang~

The next moment, Ji Ruxue gently touched the gate with her palm. As a result, the patterns on the door quickly lit up, and a force directly bounced Ji Ruxue's hand away.

Clearly, this was part of the array's defense mechanism.

During this process, Ji Ruxue kept a close watch on the changes of those surface array patterns.

After several attempts, Ji Ruxue finally saw through all the changes in the patterns on the door, showing confidence on her face.

Ji Ruxue's expression turned serious, her spiritual essence surged wildly, gathering at her fingertips, causing them to shine brilliantly.

Bang bang bang!

Then, Ji Ruxue raised her right hand and tapped on the patterns on the door a dozen times, causing a series of muffled sounds.

Immediately, the patterns that had been lighting up went out, as if a lamp had run out of power.

The patterns on the door were broken, and the array suppressing the door collapsed in an instant, shattering the protective array light curtain around the hall.

Rumble~

Ji Ruxue gave a mighty push to the heavy door. The huge stone door, standing thirty to forty meters high, slowly opened, revealing the scenery inside.

The interior of this palace was a gigantic space, with the floor made of jade, exuding a faint spiritual light, similar to the previous square.

Supporting the grand hall were multiple rows of stone pillars, arranged in two rows on either side of the hall's interior.

Seen here, these stone pillars were embedded with numerous luminous stones for lighting, instantly brightening the previously empty, slightly dim space.

At the far end of the palace interior, there stood five sealed white jade gates, each quite close to the other.

Ji Ruxue and the other two quickly made their way into the palace and headed straight towards the depths.

Soon, the three reached the sealed jade gate.

Looking at the ancient characters engraved above the jade gate, Ji Ruxue led the two before the fifth jade gate.

Within this jade gate lay the place where the cultivation and combat techniques were stored.

"Dad, inside here lies the cultivation and combat techniques of the ruins."

Ji Ruxue explained to Lu Chuan, then eagerly began examining the array patterns on the surface of the jade gate. As soon as it could be opened, the plethora of cultivation and combat techniques inside would be theirs for the taking.

Hearing about the various cultivation and combat techniques inside, Lu Chuan was also delighted.

Powerful cultivation and combat techniques were extremely rare, as they often decided whether someone could remain invincible at the same level, or even fight across levels.

Just as he'd found his own learned techniques lacking recently, gaining the techniques inside could potentially address some of his weaknesses.

Not to mention, given that these cultivation and combat techniques were in desperate need by humanity's side, he could eventually select some suitable techniques to extort a big sum from humanity.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Chuan's face.

Coming to these Ancient Ruins was the right decision; just entering them, and he was about to reap substantial rewards.

Rumble~

By this time, Ji Ruxue, who was studying the jade gate's array patterns, successfully dismantled the array and opened the jade gate.
