Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Wolf Demon Corpse
"Whenever it comes to places with treasures, there are bound to be mechanisms and traps that pose dangers."
Li Qian thought to himself.
So if he recklessly opened the stone door and barged in, he might encounter unknown dangers.
Thus, Li Qian had a thought, an invisible Spiritual Perception spread out.
When his Spiritual Perception touched the stone door and seeped through the cracks, he suddenly shuddered, feeling an indescribable oppressive aura emanating from the world beyond the door.
He quickly withdrew his Spiritual Perception, his complexion turning slightly pale.
Thud thud thud...
At the same time, the Chen Bell Sound in his mind automatically rang out, dispelling the oppressive aura that had infiltrated.
"Good lord, what exactly is inside?"
Li Qian’s face became solemn.
He had mastered the True Image Level Sword Intent and was protected by the Chen Bell.
If it weren’t for the automatic defense of the Chen Bell Shadow in his mind just now, his spiritual consciousness might have been harmed by that terrible aura.
After a while, Li Qian took a deep breath and once again extended his Spiritual Perception to continue exploring what lay beyond the stone door.
This time, he still sensed that oppressive aura.
However, with prior mental preparation, even though it was somewhat uncomfortable, with the Chen Bell’s spiritual defense, the impact wasn’t significant.
"The biggest risk inside this Taiping Sacred Cave must be that invisible oppressive aura; even my True Image Level Martial Intent can’t withstand it... This is probably more dangerous than any mechanical trap," Li Qian pondered.
Thinking this, he took a deep breath, drew his sword, and swung it. Accompanied by a crack... the entire stone door crumbled into pieces and collapsed.
A vast cave then appeared within Li Qian’s perception.
Li Qian took a deep breath and stepped into the cave, only to feel an invisible oppressive aura pervading the space, enveloping him.
The bell sounds in his mind were constant, resisting the invasion of the invisible aura.
Even so, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Li Qian looked back and saw that the entrance he had walked through had disappeared.
He seemed to be in an immense palace, with walls covered in various ghostly reliefs.
"Such a strong Illusion..."
His expression was very grave.
He didn’t believe that everything he was seeing was real.
Crack...
Suddenly, a breaking sound came from under his feet; he looked down and shockingly, there were bones everywhere.
He had just stepped on and shattered a bone.
He walked with difficulty, step by step.
The deeper in he went, the stronger the invisible pressure became.
Suddenly, Li Qian saw a gigantic golden throne with a huge figure sitting atop it.
This figure had a gigantic and fierce wolf head, and below the neck, its body had transformed, looking somewhat human, with its strong lower limbs resembling those of a wolf, covered in a layer of silver-white fur.
From Li Qian’s estimation, this werewolf-like figure was over two meters tall.
Under his perception, this werewolf-like figure was the source of the oppressive aura.
"Good lord, what is this... a werewolf demon?"
Li Qian was secretly shocked.
However, he felt it definitely wasn’t just any sculpture.
Because it was too lifelike, clearly a living creature that had died who knows how many years ago.
Even in death, the aura emanating from this werewolf figure was still frighteningly powerful, probably too much for even a Heavenly Person to approach.
If it weren’t for the spiritual protection of the Chen Bell, just relying on True Image Level Sword Intent, he would have found it very hard to get this close.
Because on a spiritual consciousness level, he was really feeling terrible.
It’s hard to imagine how powerful this werewolf would have been when alive?
Could it rival the level of a Martial Saint?
Or perhaps exceed a Martial Saint?
"Is this werewolf demon corpse the real secret within the Taiping Sect’s treasure?"
Li Qian took a deep breath and continued to approach slowly.
The closer he got, the stronger the oppressive feeling became.
Closer.
Ever closer.
It’s unclear how much time had passed, but Li Qian finally reached the platform with difficulty.
Right as he stepped on the massive golden throne’s steps, all the oppressive feelings suddenly disappeared.
He looked around and saw that the scene had changed as if he was in a gloomy cave.
The golden throne in front of him was no longer there, just an ordinary stone platform.
The majestic giant werewolf corpse had turned shriveled... Although its size was still massive, it seemed completely dried out.
"Goodness, all the previous sensations were indeed illusions."
Li Qian clicked his tongue in wonder.
Just a werewolf demon corpse, yet it contained such a strong aura that even he almost couldn’t bear it.
"This werewolf... should be a real demon, right?"
Li Qian looked at the werewolf corpse in front of him, took a deep breath, and immediately drew Sword Eighteen to start dissecting the werewolf corpse.
Although the werewolf corpse’s skin and fur were very tough, it was ultimately dead material and couldn’t withstand the sharpness of Sword Eighteen.
Soon, Li Qian extracted a black stone the size of a fist from the werewolf corpse.
The aura emanating from this black stone was incredibly intense, far surpassing the demon stone he had obtained from inside the Earth Dragon Exotic Insect.
Suddenly, Li Qian’s gaze swept over, looking at a sharp claw of the werewolf corpse which wore a black iron ring.
This item seemed a bit special.
He quickly took the black iron ring off and used his Spiritual Perception.
Vaguely, this black iron ring seemed somewhat like a Divine Refining Device.
Thinking of this, he moved his thoughts, stimulated the Chen Bell sound in his mind, and with the bell’s ring, an invisible mental wave bombarded the black iron ring.
Crack...
A sound like breaking ceramics rang out, followed by the black iron ring releasing a faint halo of light, and Li Qian’s spiritual perception was instantly sucked into the black iron ring.
The next moment...
Li Qian’s eyes widened.
"Holy shit..."
His face was full of shock.
Because this black iron ring... actually contained a small space.
"This is outrageous; there’s actually Storage Devices in this world?"
Li Qian murmured to himself.
He originally thought this black iron ring might be some kind of token.
Now it seems that this world is not as simple as he imagined.
Since even Storage Rings exist, encountering any other magical item in the future wouldn’t be surprising.
Inside this small space engulfed by the black iron ring, there were many valuable items, a few recognizable, but most completely unknown... and definitely not few in number.
He only wanted to say... this treasure hunt was indeed exceedingly fruitful.
Merely this black iron ring alone was already precious beyond measure.
Not to mention that fist-sized demon stone.
Li Qian took the black iron ring and immediately wore it on his own finger.
A miraculous scene occurred; the black iron ring automatically resized to fit his finger perfectly.
No one could have expected that this ordinary-looking black iron ring was actually a magical Storage Device.
Li Qian delightedly, put the fist-sized black demon stone into the space inside the black iron ring.
In the future, with good items, he no longer had to worry about having no place to hide them.
