Wu Xiaode gently landed.

He saw a palace as though it was made of Ice Frost, everything crystal-like and fiercely cold.

"Wow, it's so cold, what place is this?"

he asked.

The jiao flew forward a distance and landed on a door completely made of Ice Frost before disappearing.

Wu Xiaode stepped forward to take a look.

On the door, he saw a line of Dragon Clan text:

"Fifth Storage Room."

So that was it.

When the jiao was sealed, it had given him a key as so-called compensation.

The key was named: "Secret Key, Treasure of the Ancient Dragon King Number Five."

——Presumably, it was the key to open this door.

Wu Xiaode directly took out the key to unlock the door.

Boom! The ice crystal door slowly sank down.

Countless, sparkling Soul Crystals full of pure power fluctuations surged toward Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode had to retreat again and again, waiting until the outpouring of Soul Crystals completely stopped before carefully inspecting inside the door.

"This is way too rich, but can you bring wealth back from a dream to reality?"

he muttered to himself.

The densely packed Soul Crystals blocked the warehouse door, and although a portion had poured out, it was clear to see, it seemed that the entire room behind the door was filled with Soul Crystals.

——High-level Soul Crystals.

Although not top-grade Soul Crystals, this quantity was terrifying enough.

It was just unknown how big this storage room really was.

Wu Xiaode raised his hand and gently waved the Holy Treasure Ring on his finger.

The scattered Soul Crystals on the ground were instantly absorbed into the ring.

He walked step by step forward, and the Soul Crystals covering the ground disappeared in succession until he stood at the entrance.

Soul Crystals "whooshed" out from the door.

Wu Xiaode stood at the entrance catching them for a while, before the rate of their flow out of the door slowed down.

He simply said aloud:

"Just collect all the Soul Crystals!"

In an instant, all the Soul Crystals disappeared.

Looking around, the warehouse was about five hundred square meters, completely empty.

Known parameters were that the storage was five hundred square meters in area, three meters in height, and filled with Soul Crystals.

One Soul Crystal was about the size of a finger.

——How many Soul Crystals had been collected in total?

Stop!

He wasn't here to solve math problems.

Wu Xiaode shook his head, turned around to leave the treasury, but suddenly, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

On the Book of the Dead, a line of ice crystal text emerged:

"Your card's Soul-giving Skill: 'Element Detection' has begun to operate."

Wu Xiaode glanced at the ice wall at the very back of the warehouse, frowning.

With a slight flash, he was already in front of the ice wall, and with a touch of his hand on the wall, he mused:

"If the wall is all made of ice snow runes, why does this one have so few runes in it?"

"Could it be——"

Wu Xiaode pressed hard.

The entire wall suddenly revealed rapidly spreading cracks.

Crash——

Ice crystals shattered all over the ground.

A passage wide enough for two people appeared before Wu Xiaode.

There was indeed something fishy!

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment, then immediately followed this long and deep passage inward.

——Who would have thought there was a secret passage here?

Now he understood why Ye Jiana had given him this skill in advance.

Perhaps the great tomb world was also full of dangers, with countless mechanisms and secret passages emerging endlessly.

As he thought to himself, he kept flying forward.

Suddenly, bright lights appeared ahead.

Wu Xiaode jumped out from the secret passage into a quiet and unoccupied great hall.

Inside the great hall, countless human-shaped statues were arranged densely, all kneeling toward a high platform on the ground, their expressions devoutly praying.

The high platform...

Wu Xiaode hopped onto it to see a piece of light veil floating on it, radiating light.

Several lines of ice crystal text subsequently appeared:

"Cloak of the Dark Hidden Language."

"?????"

"——You must acquire more treasures of the Ancient Dragon King to understand its use."

Mysterious and secretive indeed.

Wu Xiaode hated these halfway explanations.

He directly placed the light veil into the Holy Treasure Ring, looked around, and his gaze fell on one of the statues.

This statue seemed to have some triggerable runes on it.

Lots of runes, once triggered, seemed to activate something.

Very well.

Show me what the riddle is!

Wu Xiaode lightly leaped, landing in front of the statue, and pressed hard on the left eye of the statue with his hand.

Booming——

All the statues opened up to both sides, revealing a long staircase descending downward.

Another secret passage!

Who could have known this?

Even if all the ice sculptures were destroyed, this secret passage wouldn't have been triggered. Only by pressing the left eye of this statue would it trigger the rune arrays hidden within the ice sculptures.

Sheesh.

Having gained the "Element Detection" skill, the "Babylon" card had already paid for itself!

Wu Xiaode walked down the staircase.

He quickly came to the end of the secret passage, where on a small table, he found another item.

——A mask made entirely out of ice and snow.

"Mask of the Dark Hidden Language."

"?????"

"——You must acquire the complete Ancient Dragon King Set to understand its use."

"The current number of artifact pieces obtained: 2."

Wu Xiaode's curiosity grew stronger.

The dream was monitored by that impregnable monster and sealed away the memory and power of the Black Dragon lady, Gjestastav.

Fat Sa also said there has never been an assassination of the Dragon King in history.

What exactly is going on here?

Wu Xiaode looked around.

The room had no mechanisms, just one door.

He pushed the door open and walked out.

To his surprise, the corridor was piled with the corpses of various creatures.

"Save..."

Just as an orc Priest began to speak, his head tilted, and he died.

Wu Xiaode watched as a spirit rose from the corpse and quickly disappeared into the Void.

Endless light shone from the end of the corridor.

Just as a few shadows appeared in the Void, they were hit by the light and immediately fell to the ground, dead.

However, the cloak and mask flew off Wu Xiaode's body, radiating the same light, enveloping him completely.

A line of small text popped up:

"You have obtained ownership of two treasures within the ruins, thus they protect you from the Dragon Clan's life-stripping Divine Light."

Wu Xiaode looked back.

At the end of the path he had come from, there was a massive ice cavern.

Through the ice cavern, he could see tiny ice crystals drifting away quietly with the current.

——So this was the normal entrance to the ruins.

If that Jiao hadn't reminded him, he probably would have entered the ruins through here as well.

Therefore, these corpses must belong to the treasure hunters who had swarmed here.

The monster that monitored the dream had left, and it must have been noticed by many such eager people!

A sense of urgency suddenly welled up in Wu Xiaode's heart.

He couldn't let anyone take away the pieces of the armor set, or he would be unable to unravel the secrets here.

It could even affect Gjestastav's breakthrough of the seal!

Wu Xiaode dashed along the corridor, quickly passing through the area enveloped by the light and landed in a courtyard.

"Hmph, someone else has come!"

A voice suddenly sounded.

In the courtyard stood a Magician, a Taoist, and a werewolf, positioned in a triangle around a large tree.

The tree bore a huge fruit that emitted a tempting fragrance.

With only a glance, Wu Xiaode realized the fruit was infused with elements that were not plant-like, leaning towards poison and containing metaphors of death.

Whoever ate it would suffer.

——This was not what he was looking for!

"Gentlemen, I have no intention of competing with you, farewell."

With a casual salute, Wu Xiaode immediately swept deeper into the courtyard.

The three exchanged glances, wanting to stop him but unwilling to leave the fruit behind, they could only watch him leave.

Wu Xiaode turned a corner in the corridor and continued forward.

He arrived in a room with a huge pendulum clock and countless bookshelves.

The room was already filled with professionals.

The Jiao hovered mid-air, speaking human words:

"Search, everyone start searching, there's a book that contains the secrets of the Dragon King's treasure, whoever finds the clue, the treasure belongs to them."

The professionals all held books, frantically flipping the pages, trying to find the clue.

When Wu Xiaode entered, the Jiao glanced at him.

"The leftmost bookshelf."

The Jiao telepathically communicated.

Wu Xiaode looked to the leftmost side, noticing a special element on that particular bookshelf.

The method to activate it was——

He first activated "Everday City," then walked up to the bookshelf, placed his hand upon it, and softly spoke:

"Open."

The bookshelf remained still.

But with the power of "Element Detection," Wu Xiaode sensed something——

The bookshelf turned into an illusion.

He stepped forward, passing directly through the bookshelf and even through the wall behind it, into a brand new room.

This room contained a long table, and on it, a piece of Scale Armor.

"Gloomy Incantation Battle Armor."

"?????"

"——You must obtain the complete Ancient Dragon King Set to understand its purpose."

"The current number of artifact pieces obtained: 3."

"Remaining pieces: 3."

Wu Xiaode waved his hand and immediately stored the Scale Armor into his ring.

——Half the collection was complete!

Suddenly, the Void trembled, and an indescribable presence swept through it.

Chris emerged excitedly from Wu Xiaode's hair:

"Little Wu, Gjestastav's Bloodline Power has been upgraded——"

"Prepare to break through the third layer of the seal!"

Wu Xiaode was surprised, "Weren't you with her? What are you doing in my hair?"

"Because I set up a portal in your hair, I can come find you anytime," Chris said, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

At that moment, the ground shook violently.

The Jiao suddenly appeared before Wu Xiaode, saying:

"It's too late, you won't be able to get the complete set."

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Someone has awakened the sub-level Ancient Dragon King Bloodline Power, and this place is cursed——once that happens, the entire ruins will be destroyed," the Jiao explained.

Wu Xiaode's brow furrowed.

So that was the situation!

If the ruins had been set up like this a long time ago, it meant Gjestastav would never be able to break through the third layer of the seal!

As soon as she had broken through the second layer, the Ancient Dragon King Ruins would begin to collapse completely.

That way, the third layer of the seal would permanently block her path!

However——

This time was different.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"Such a good plan, but unfortunately, time is on our side."

He reached behind and ——

A black flag was instantly in his grasp.
