Yang Fan had the intention to retreat.
However, he had already reached the entrance of the treasure vault. If he went back like this, he would really be unwilling.
Just as he was hesitating about whether he should work a little harder and turn all the thirty-six half-emperor Monochrome Bears in seclusion in this cave abode into his own people, just in case …
Patter!
In the deepest part of the cave abode, a secret door that even Yang Fan did not notice slowly opened.
Soon, a Monochrome Bear that looked like it was only at the peak of the Emperor-tier walked out of the secret door. It held a fruit plate in its hand. On the plate were several Emperor-tier spirit fruits that emitted endless spiritual energy.
This Emperor-tier Monochrome Bear bowed and carried the fruit plate. It walked steadily and respectfully to a cave in the middle of the cave abode.
Patter patter patter!
It gently knocked on the stone wall in front of the cave abode and said respectfully, "Ancestor Bei Feng, the spirit fruits you wanted have been delivered!"
There was no response from the cave abode. However, the Emperor-tier Monochrome Bear still bowed and raised the fruit plate above its head.
A moment later, Yang Fan saw a spatial fluctuation flash above the fruit plate. The several Emperor-tier spirit fruits on the fruit plate all disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the Emperor-tier Monochrome Bear gently put down the fruit plate above its head and skillfully turned it upside down at its waist. After bowing respectfully to the cave abode again, it turned around and returned to the secret door.
"It's food delivery!"
Yang Fan's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he went into stealth and entered the Emperor-tier Monochrome Bear's figure, following it into the secret door!
Along the way, Yang Fan did not stay idle. Under the circumstances where the Emperor-tier Monochrome Bear was unaware, he kept throwing the charm skill on it.
"You used the charm skill on the peak-tier Demon Emperor Xiong Erbao. The charm was successful. Xiong Erbao's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Mental Power + 2, Mental Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 5."
"You used the charm skill on the peak-tier Demon Emperor Xiong Erbao. The charm was successful …"
"You used the charm skill on the peak-tier Demon Emperor Xiong Erbao. The charm was successful. Xiong Erbao's favorability towards you has greatly increased. The feeling of closeness is overflowing with words. The heart of love is deep in the bone marrow. The consciousness of loyalty is deeply embedded in the soul and sea of consciousness. The relationship between the two sides has reached the ultimate friendly. Mental Strength + 2, Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 5.
Success on the first try!
Yang Fan was elated. Although he looked like he was still at the peak of the Spiritual Soul Master level, the upper limit of his Spiritual Power and the strength of his God's Soul Origin had long surpassed the standards of some low-level Spirit Emperors.
At the same time, the success rate of the Charm skill had also increased. Now, it wasn't that difficult to charm peak-tier Demonic Emperors.
Patter!
The secret door behind him closed, and the light in the secret passage was as bright as day.
After venturing tens of metres deeper, Xiong Erbao arrived at a place that looked like a secret chamber. He sat down cross-legged on a futon and began meditating.
The entire secret chamber was empty. Not even a strand of spirit fruit could be seen. Obviously, this was not the place where the treasury was kept.
Yang Fan had been hiding in Xiong Erbao's shadow without making a sound. Even though he had successfully bewitched Xiong Erbao and turned him into one of his own, he did not show himself easily, and Xiong Erbao did not notice anything unusual.
Turning this guy into one of them was just Yang Fan's precaution. Yang Fan's real purpose was to hypnotize this Demon Emperor and ask him about the location of the treasury in the Ancestral Land.
Yang Fan glanced at the secret chamber and felt a little disappointed. He thought that he could reach the treasury directly by following this little bear. Now, it seemed that he couldn't save the Hypnosis skill.
The Hypnosis skill was different from the Charm skill. The Hypnosis skill's attack attribute was more obvious. Once it was used, the released Spiritual Power would easily alarm the target.
If something went wrong and Xiong Erbao was alarmed because of the failure, the surrounding Half-step Emperors would easily notice it.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he could succeed in one try and not give Xiong Erbao any chance to counterattack or wake him up, Yang Fan deliberately borrowed a part of the Spiritual Power from Zhong Ling and suddenly used the Brahma Hypnosis skill that he was most proficient in on Xiong Erbao.
"You used the Heaven-level Spiritual Secret Skill Brahma Hypnosis to hypnotize Xiong Erbao at the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm. The hypnosis was successful. Xiong Erbao lost his will and his sea of consciousness opened. He will obey you. Spiritual Power + 10, Spiritual Will + 10, Skill Proficiency + 20. "
Success!
Yang Fan smiled and glanced at Xiong Erbao, who was still sitting there motionlessly, and nodded with satisfaction.
Successful in one try. No flaws were exposed. Not bad.
"Xiong Erbao, tell me, where is the treasury in the Ancestral Land?"
Yang Fan asked in secret via telepathy and went straight to the point.
Xiong Erbao was motionless. After receiving Yang Fan's instruction, he also whispered to Yang Fan with a blank expression, "The treasury is under your feet."
Under your feet?
Yang Fan lowered his head and glanced at the ordinary gravel floor beneath his feet before lightly shaking his head. He didn't dare to use his Divine Perception to investigate in detail. Not to mention whether there were any traps or restrictions in the treasury, even the antiques in the surroundings could easily discover his Spiritual Fluctuations.
"Are there guards in the treasury?"
"No."
"However, the 36 Half-step Emperors are the best guards in the treasury. With them, no one dares to have any ideas about the treasury of our clan!"
Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded lightly.
Indeed.
Under normal circumstances, with the presence of these 36 half-step Emperors, no one apart from Emperors would dare to take the risk even if they had eaten the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard.
This just confirmed Yang Fan's previous guess. This Ancestral Land was definitely the safest place in the Black and White Bear Clan. There was a 90% chance that the treasury of the Black and White Bear Clan was placed here.
Now it seemed that it was just as he expected.
The treasury of the Black and White Bear Clan was right under the buttocks of these 36 Half-step Emperors.
"How do I enter?"
Yang Fan continued to ask.
Xiong Erbao replied, "There is a space token in my pocket. When I activate it, I can open a space portal here and directly teleport into it."
Yang Fan's Spiritual Power swept lightly in Xiong Erbao's pocket and found a black jade token.
However, he didn't intend to reach out to take it.
This kind of token was usually spiritually bound. Even if Yang Fan had it in his hand, it would be useless.
Moreover, he didn't know if there were other restrictions or traps in the treasury. If he rashly went in, the risk was too great.
"Tell me in detail about the location and structure of this underground treasury!"
"Yes." Xiong Erbao replied expressionlessly, "The treasury is about 50 meters underground. It's wide at the front and narrow at the back. It's about 300 meters long and 100 meters wide. It's vertically connected to the caves of the 36 ancestors on the ground."
"There's a spiritual restriction set by the Demon King in the treasury. The 36 ancestors are also guarding one side. Once there's any abnormality in the treasury, the Demon King and the 36 ancestors will be able to detect it at the first moment!"
Yang Fan nodded slightly.
That made sense.
The tighter the defense, the more precious and important the things in the treasury were. Only by taking them away would he have a greater sense of accomplishment.
"50 meters underground, just within the collection range of the advanced collection technique. God is really helping me!"
Yang Fan licked his lips in high spirits.
He had already inquired about the information he needed. Originally, he wanted to kill this peak-stage Demon Emperor silently.
However, he was worried that if this guy suddenly stopped breathing, it would alarm the 36 Half-emperor Great Demons nearby. Therefore, Yang Fan hid the killing intent in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Fan sank his mind into the storage space and quickly pulled out a blood-red pill. Using the pill throwing technique, he silently threw it into Xiong Erbao's mouth.
The pill melted and sank into Xiong Erbao's stomach. Soon, it circulated in Xiong Erbao's blood vessels.
"It's done!"
"Ten minutes later, the pill poison will take effect. This Demon Emperor's Divine Soul will be shaken and he will be possessed by the devil. He will become an idiot demon beast."
Yang Fan quietly retreated. Since he knew the location of the treasury, he was confident that he could empty the treasury in ten minutes.
As for Xiong Erbao, because part of his Divine Soul would collapse, he would lose most of his memories and self-awareness. Even if a Sovereign came in person, he would not be able to retrieve any memories related to Yang Fan from his sea of consciousness.
Although he did not kill the demon beast, he had already silenced it. Moreover, there would not be any flaws in a short period of time.
"Now, it's time to work!"
Yang Fan rubbed his hands gently. He was so excited that his blood pressure was rising. His eyes were fixed on the ground under his feet. Without any hesitation, he directly used the advanced collection technique.
"You used the advanced collection technique on the surface rocks. Successful collection. Granite + 10, Marble + 10, Mental Strength + 1, Skill Proficiency + 2."
"You used the advanced collection technique on the Divine Soul Restriction left by the White Bear Demon Emperor. The associated skill, Barrier Breaking, was activated. Successful collection. Ownerless peak-stage Emperor-level Divine Soul Origin Fragment + 3. Mental Strength + 5, Skill Proficiency + 10. "
"You used the advanced collection technique on the nameless jade box. The associated skill, Barrier Breaking, was activated. Successful collection. Earth Vein Spirit Liquid + 99, Earth Vein Crystal + 99, Mental Strength + 1, Skill Proficiency + 2."
"You used the advanced collection technique on the nameless jade box. The associated skill, Barrier Breaking, was activated. Successful collection. Emperor-level Treasure Medicine + 2, Emperor-level Demon Core + 5."
"You used the advanced collection technique on the nameless jade box. The associated skill, Barrier Breaking, was activated. Successful collection …"
"…"
Once the advanced collection technique was used, all the items within a 100-meter radius underground were within the collection range.
Yang Fan stood still on the spot and could continuously collect top-grade treasures one after another. The system notifications began to flood the screen.
Soon, when Yang Fan had collected all the treasures within a 100-meter radius under his feet, he retreated stealthily and started collecting again in the next 100-meter radius.
Wherever the collection technique went, it was as if locusts had passed through. Not even a blade of grass grew. All the valuable items were secretly collected and stored in Yang Fan's collection space.
For a moment, Yang Fan's collection space was filled with treasure light and overflowing with Spiritual Qi. It was a delightful sight!
I've hit the jackpot!
At least this trip was not in vain!
