That's right, it was a skeleton mountain.
To be precise, it was a dining area of an inn. It was a square with a length and width of about two hundred feet, which was already considered very large. However, in such a large area, there was a real skeleton mountain.
From the outside to the inside, the number of skeletons stacked on top of each other increased. In the middle, the skeletons were almost on top of the roof. The posture of these skeletons showed that they were climbing upwards. It felt as if there was something in the middle of them.
Seeing this scene, Lu An felt a sense of heaviness in his heart. No matter what it was, this item must be very attractive to these pirates. Otherwise, why would these pirates risk their lives for it?
However, what exactly was it?
Lu An frowned slightly. Although he was curious, he was not greedy and did not want to know. Since this item could kill so many people, it was very likely that he would lose his life because of it. Compared to his life, this item was obviously not that important.
Thinking of this, Lu An moved along the edge of the large hall. There were many murals on the walls, but these murals were very rough. It was obvious that they were carelessly drawn by the guests here. Lu An looked at each of the murals, trying to see if he could find any clues about the item.
However, after walking around half of the hall, Lu An could not help but feel disappointed. This was because the murals on the walls were all ordinary things, such as pirate ships, weapons, maps, treasures, and so on. There was nothing strange about them.
Somewhat disappointed, Lu An could only be patient and walk along the edge of the hall. Under the light of the flames, the scenes of burning, killing, and looting on the murals made Lu An frown slightly. No matter what, these pirates did not die in vain.
Finally, after walking the last half of the journey, he still did not find anything. Looking at the skeleton mountain in front of him, Lu An did have the thought of going up to search, but he did not do so.
He only came here to see if there were any opportunities or Heavenly Technique manuals. This was just a pirate's stronghold, and there was nothing he wanted.
Therefore, he did not linger. After extinguishing the flames and the ice disappeared, he turned and walked toward the corridor, ready to leave.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Lu An suddenly seemed to hear a strange sound. The voice was very soft, making him wonder if he had heard wrongly.
With a slight frown, he cautiously activated the Scorching Nine Suns that he was just about to extinguish. Holding the flame in his hand, he quietly walked forward step by step in the corridor.
This time, Lu An did not hear anything. Even under the perception of Blazing Sun Nine Suns, there was no difference between the ground and the skeletons. There was no vibration at all.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Soon, Lu An returned to his original position. Looking at the ten feet gap above his head, Lu An prepared to leap up.
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
The terrain here was at the bottom, not the guest room or the hall. Why was that?
If this was just a simple entrance to the inn, then why was it so strange?
Immediately, Lu An activated the Scorching Sun Nine Suns and searched the entire entrance, but he still found nothing. Lu An even went to the back of the counter and opened it to search. However, other than some treasures, he still didn't find anything.
Lu An frowned, got up, and looked around again. It was dark all around. If it weren't for his flame, he wouldn't be able to see anything.
Except for the only light spot that fell from the sky.
Light spot?
Lu An was stunned. He instantly looked up at the gap that he had opened and the light pillar that shone down from the gap. He followed the light pillar and looked at the place where the light shone. It was above the floor!
Lu An was shocked and quickly went out from behind the counter to the floor. He touched the stone slab with his hand and knocked it with his hand. A dull sound came from inside.
It was not empty.
Lu An frowned, but he did not give up this time. He quickly took down the stone slab and looked at the ground below.
The soil under the stone slab was particularly hard and brittle. Especially after Lu An took down the other stone slabs around him and compared them. The change in the soil began at the center of the light, which meant that there must be something in the soil!
Thinking of this, Lu An got up and took a step back. He frowned, took a deep breath, and punched down again!
Boom!
With one punch, the soil instantly exploded. However, it did not explode in all directions. Instead, it sank violently. After a short two breaths, a huge hole appeared in front of Lu An!
At the same time, Lu An finally felt a force coming from below. It was a force that made one's heart palpitate, but it was extremely calm.
Lu An, who felt the surge of power, frowned, and his expression became serious. He slowly walked to the hole and looked down at the light above his head. He saw a large space in front of him.
Not only that, there was a small tower in the center of the light pillar. And on top of the small tower, there was a long brocade box. All of the power was being emitted from the brocade box.
What was that?
Lu An was shocked. He looked at the brocade box under the light and his expression became more and more serious. The treasure was in front of him, but his heart became exceptionally calm. Even ordinary people knew that great things were often accompanied by great dangers. A treasure appeared in front of him so easily. Lu An did not believe it.
Therefore, Lu An did not go down immediately. Instead, he released a flame and threw it down from the hole. When the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame landed on the ground, it instantly ignited into a raging inferno, illuminating the entire cave.
When everything was clear, Lu An began to size up the hole. The hole was not too high. It was about one and a half feet high. The hole was also not big. It was only about two feet in length and width. The treasure was placed on a platform about one and a half feet high. It lay quietly beside the raging flames.
The flames burned, but there was nothing strange around. Lu An could not help but frown.
Was he thinking too much?
Lu An frowned. After confirming that there was no danger below, he jumped down from the hole and landed steadily beside the platform. He looked at the brocade box that was placed quietly on top and walked over.
The Nine Blazing Suns were fully activated. Lu An tried to sense what was inside the brocade box. However, to Lu An's surprise, his Scorching Sun Nine Suns actually came into contact with an obvious barrier, and this barrier excluded all perception, making it impossible for Lu An to sense it.
Since he had already come this far, Lu An naturally would not give up. Taking a light breath, Lu An carefully reached for the brocade box. Finally, he grabbed it.
After grabbing the brocade box, Lu An felt a sharp feeling. It was as if it was going to pierce his palm. However, this force was not as strong as he had imagined. What was terrifying was the obsession.
Just by holding the brocade box, Lu An could feel the obsession to break free and destroy. It seemed that the thing inside was indeed somewhat ominous.
Feeling the sharpness, Lu An frowned. His free left hand raised the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame and slowly approached the brocade box. After sensing the aura of the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame, the thing inside instantly became frightened. It started to lose its sharpness and even became fearful. All the aura disappeared.
Sure enough, just as Lu An had expected, the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame was more powerful than the thing inside. After withdrawing the flame, Lu An was ready to open the brocade box.
Bang!!
Just as he was about to open the brocade box, a sudden explosion came from behind him without any warning. At the same time, the wide-open Blazing Sun Nine Suns felt an extremely fast force coming from behind him, heading straight for him!
Lu An was shocked. He immediately stopped what he was doing. At the same time, he jumped forward and dodged the attack.
However, the attack did not stop. After Lu An dodged it, the black shadow attacked him from behind again. It was so fast that Lu An did not have time to turn around or counterattack. He could only dodge it immediately.
Whoosh!
After moving sideways, the black shadow swept past Lu An's back. This time, Lu An raised his eyebrows. He stretched out his left hand and waved it to the left. In an instant, he caught the black shadow that was about to leave his side.
At the same time, he frowned and shouted in a low voice. In an instant, all the strength in his body exploded. He waved his hand with all his strength to pull the black shadow back.
However, the weight of the black shadow was beyond Lu An's expectation. When he caught the black shadow, his body was dragged forward by the black shadow. After being caught by Lu An, the black shadow did not seem to care and immediately attacked again.
When Lu An felt the attack coming, he became angry. He waved his right hand and punched at the black shadow.
Bang!
When the two of them collided, a powerful force was instantly transmitted from Lu An's fist. It actually forced his body to fly back quickly, and he crashed heavily into the wall!
