1565 Change of Place (1/2)
”Huh? What is this place?”
When Chen Xiaobei stepped through the wall, the entire scenery had changed. It was like he stepped into a different world, back to the ancient times.
The eerie dark forest and cold cavern had suddenly turned into clear blue skies dotted with puffy white clouds! Under his feet were a neatly laid green brick pavement, and surrounding him was a magnificent ancient palace.
The palace was humongous – it was 50 steps to the next floor and there was a pavilion every 10 steps, going as far as a hundred miles. It was impossible to see the where it started and where it ended.
”Wow! Don't tell me that I've travelled to the ancient times like those cliché novels.”
Chen Xiaobei frowned. The place was so big that he dared not believe that it was part of Emperor Qin's tomb.
”Where did the Blackwater Mystical Snake go? There's no evidence that it's been here.”
The more Chen Xiaobei thought about it, the stranger it seemed. The Blackwater Mystical Snake was a mammoth sized beast. If it did come through here, it would have left a dent in the ground, and would have crushed a few of the pavilions.
However, everything was pristine.
Could the Blackwater Mystical Snake have gone to another place?
”Ah, forget it. I better leave this place before my enemies get here.”
Chen Xiaobei kept moving forward.
As he walked, he took out his phone to send Liu Xuanxin a message, but there was no signal in there.
”No, I can't go too far. I won't be able to contact them. I better find a place to hide nearby in case my Goddess of Luck and the others need my help. I have to find out what's happening first!”
He walked into the nearest three-storey pavilion.
Stepping through the door, he was shocked by what he saw.
The building was filled with piles of treasure of silver and gold, pearls and precious stones in all colors, shapes and sizes. It was impossible to tell how much of it there was.
And that was just one building!
There were countless pavilions out there! If there were just as much treasure in each house, there would enough of it to form mountains!
”Could… Could these be the Emperor Qin's actual burial objects? This amount is just bewildering!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed.
Of course, he was merely expressing surprise. All these earthly riches meant nothing to him!
Had these treasures been Spiritual Items, he might have been excited.
These piles of common gold and silver were worthless to him. He could not be bothered to collect them.
”I have more important things to attend to! I cannot waste time!” Chen Xiaobei quickly ascended the steps to the top floor.
The cracked opened a window and looked down from above to observe the situation below.
Very soon, one by one, shadows appeared on the surrounding streets.
”What… What is this place?” Feng Bucun stared at his surroundings in surprise.
”Bucun! Are you alright?” Feng Aotian had arrived with his men.
