Shifeng's breathing quickened as he looked at the pitch-black treasure chest covered in a thick layer of dust.
A Primordial Treasure Chest!
He had only heard of this item in the past.
It was a treasure chest passed down by an Ancient God. Although it looked like a treasure chest made of black iron, it was actually made of Obsidian Crystal. It was one of the materials second only to Seven Luminaries Crystals. Moreover, the Ancient God had personally engraved divine runes on the treasure chest. The treasure chest also contained powerful Divine Might that ordinary items couldn't.
Every Primordial Treasure Chest was priceless in God's Domain because it contained items from the Gods. It was rumored that the items inside the Primordial Treasure Chests were as valuable as Epic Treasure Chests, while the better ones could rival Legendary Treasure Chests.
Meanwhile, Primordial Treasure Chests were as rare as Epic Treasure Chests. Shi Feng had only ever heard of one before.
According to rumors, Primordial Treasure Chests could only appear in extremely dangerous ancient ruins.
He had never imagined that the Ancient Orc Empire would have one.
So, this is an Primordial Treasure Chest? Sure enough, it's amazing! Shifeng walked up to the Primordial Treasure Chest, feeling as if his body would collapse under the weight of the treasure chest.
As the Primordial Treasure Chest was an item personally crafted by a God and engraved with divine runes, the closer it was to the Primordial Treasure Chest, the stronger its Divine Might would be.
Now that Shi Feng stood before the Primordial Treasure Chest, he felt as if his entire body was filled with lead. Even a Lord ranked monster of the same level could kill him.
If a Tier 1 player were in his place, they'd most likely kneel on the ground, unable to move.
However, this was also why the Primordial Treasure Chest had not been locked. Its Divine Might was the best protection.
The instant Shi Feng opened the Primordial Treasure Chest, the divine runes engraved on its surface lit up. Suddenly, the Mana inside the secret room went berserk. The dense Mana inside the secret room seemed to have been sucked dry as the Primordial Treasure Chest absorbed it like a beast that had just awakened from its slumber.
The Primordial Treasure Chest's Mana absorption lasted for several seconds before stopping. Meanwhile, the Primordial Treasure Chest's aura also increased significantly.
There's only one item? Shifeng was speechless as he looked at the pitch-black ring hovering inside the Primordial Treasure Chest.
The Primordial Treasure Chest was the size of a large wardrobe, yet the space inside was only the size of a basketball …
However, Shi Feng did not intend to be polite. Without hesitation, he picked up the pitch-black ring and inspected it.
I can't read it?
"Is this the item left behind by the gods?"
Shifeng looked at the jet-black ring in his hand. No matter how he clicked on it to check its description, the jet-black ring was like a stone on the side of the road. There was no information displayed.
This was the first time Shifeng had encountered an item that could not be read in God's Domain.
Even if he had obtained an item that could break through eternity in the past, he would more or less know its name. It wouldn't show no information at all.
If not for the fact that he had stored the tattered, pitch-black ring in his hand inside a Primordial Treasure Chest, he would've tossed it aside. After all, the pitch-black ring in his hand was simply too ordinary. There was nothing special about it.
Although they could not read it directly, Shifeng did not plan to give up.
After waiting for ten minutes, Shifeng once again used Omniscient Eyes to inspect the Black Ring.
The appraisal effect of Omniscient Eyes far surpassed that of Advanced Appraisal.
"How could that be? I can't read it? What kind of ring is this? "Shifeng was slightly stunned when he saw the system notification.
Until now, his Omniscient Eyes had never failed to appraise an item. Even Xia Lian, who possessed unfathomable strength, had praised his Omniscient Eyes. Yet, the Omniscient Eyes could not do anything about the jet-black ring.
If the ring was unreadable, there could only be one possibility — Omniscient Eyes' appraisal rank was not high enough. He needed a stronger Appraisal Skill.
As for an Appraisal Skill that surpassed Omniscient Eyes' …
Shifeng could only think of one possibility — the Eyes of Truth!
Xia Lian had mentioned this before.
However, he did not know how to obtain the Eyes of Truth. He would have to ask Xia Lian about it later. Until now, he had no idea how to obtain the jet-black ring.
Following which, Shifeng stored the ring and left the secret room.
Compared to the jet-black ring in the Ancient Treasure Chest, completing his quest was more important.
There were plenty of traps along the way to the royal family's treasury. Any one of these traps could claim a player's life. Even a peak Assassin would lose their lives if they were not careful.
This was even more difficult for Shifeng, who was only a Swordsman.
The only thing he could do was rely on Omniscient Eyes to avoid the traps. If he encountered an unavoidable trap, he would have no choice but to use Absolute Defense to endure it.
Normally, he would only need a dozen or so minutes to reach the treasury. Now, however, he had to take several times longer.
As he approached the treasury, Shifeng suddenly received a message from A Melancholy Smile.
The message was very simple.
Not long ago, many Evil Demons had appeared in the vicinity of Stone Forest Town and White River City. Practically all of these Evil Demons were Lord rank or above. Moreover, these Evil Demons were extremely cautious. They would switch locations after each attack, not giving the Ling YI Society any time to hunt them down.
As a result, the number of players trying to reach Stone Forest Town had decreased significantly.
Although Stone Forest Town was safe and no monsters could attack it, ordinary players and adventurer teams did not have any private houses in the town. Hence, they could not teleport directly to Stone Forest Town. They could only travel to Stone Forest Town via horse carriages from the nearest NPC town.
Although the horse carriages were very fast, they did not have any offensive capabilities. If an Evil Demon ambushed an ordinary player, only death awaited them. They would not even be able to resist.
With such an unsafe journey, many players would naturally give up on trying to reach Stone Forest Town. After all, the price of dying was simply too high.
"Heaven's Burial is no longer trying to hide its presence?" Shifeng's expression darkened. This situation made him want to complete his quest and return as soon as possible.
Current expert players were no match for Lord ranked Evil Demons. Only experts like Shiuse Qiangwei could contend with them. However, Shiuse Qiangwei and the others had already left to complete their class-change quests. Currently, Stone Forest Town did not have any powerful experts to protect it. If they wanted to deal with the Evil Demons, they could only rely on surrounding and killing them.
However, these Evil Demons would leave as soon as they finished fighting. They would not give Ling Yi a chance to attack them.
Currently, only he could do this. As long as an Evil Demon appeared and a player provided him with its coordinates, he could use the Seven Luminaries Ring's Space Movement to rush over.
However, he had gone to great lengths to enter the Imperial Palace. If he returned without completing his quest, it would be even more difficult for him to return the next time.
Following which, Shifeng sent a message to A Melancholy Smile, telling him to have the Ling YI Society form a patrol team. Although this would require a lot of manpower, it would suppress the Evil Demons to a certain extent, preventing them from taking action on the trade route.
As for the rest of the matter, he would have to wait until he returned.
…
Time passed quickly. After traveling for over two hours, Shifeng finally arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Palace's treasury.
At this moment, inside the spacious hall, which was reinforced with divine runes and magic arrays, an armored Orc sat quietly before the treasury's steel doors with his eyes tightly shut. He looked like a statue.
It's no wonder why I haven't seen any Orcs searching for me despite being here for so long. So, there are still guards like this. Shifeng could not help but frown as he watched the Orc guarding the steel doors from a dark corner of the hallway.
Although the Orc guarding the treasury wasn't very tall, and could even be described as thin and old, any player that encountered this Orc right now would only face death.
This Orc was none other than the Chieftain of the Orc Tribe.
[Orc Chieftain] (Humanoid Creature, Mythic) Level 85 HP 320,000,000/320,000,000
With such combat power, even a 100-man, Tier 2, Level 85 elite team would most likely be annihilated. After all, Shifeng had led a team to kill an Orc Chieftain in the past. Only, he had already been promoted to a Tier 3 Sword King at the time.
In terms of strength, the Orc Chieftain was even more powerful than the three Mythic Orcs that had charged out of the city. Moreover, its intellect rivaled that of NPCs. It was like a wise man among the Orcs. Even a 1,000-man elite team of the same level would be annihilated without tools that targeted the Orc Chieftain's weakness.
With such an Orc Chieftain guarding the steel doors, not to mention fighting, even breaking through the Orc Chieftain would be difficult.
