Chapter Seventy-Five: A True Treasure

The next moment Lulunaka vanished, Julius and Rei walked over quickly, and saw where she had been standing, which had sunk in, and only a dark hole could be seen. She probably stood on something about the size of a moving platform, and just walked away.

Looking at this bottomless hole from the side, Julius and Rei couldn't do anything, it would be a bit difficult to get them to follow like this, God knows how deep it is down here, there is no water in this place now, and jumping off may not be as simple as breaking a leg.

And Lulunaka said that they should wait here, but she didn't let them follow. Julius and Rei glanced at each other, deciding that it was not a good thing to be standing here and wasting time, and left. "Why don't we find out if there's anything of value? Julius suggested.

Rei nodded, "Okay, I guess there's something that shouldn't have turned into garbage...... Probably. Rei's tone wasn't so sure, she didn't have much confidence in it.

"At least this dump is a lot cleaner and doesn't smell disgusting. Julius said some comforting words, but soon he couldn't go on. This former treasure trove, while it looked quite presentable, was only better than the disgusting garbage dumps of Rat's Road, and it also had a strong smell, the smell of rust, mixed with the cold and wet air.

This place is more like a cemetery than a garbage dump...... A cemetery that belongs only to the dead. Nothing here has ever been alive, but it is decaying, dead, and nothing remains.

If these objects were life, they were now smelling of death, no rancid stench, but the pungent smell made it seem like they were dead.

Looking around, Julius felt that the place was lifeless, and only a desolation remained. There is no grass here, like a dead land. He didn't know why he suddenly had such a feeling, if it was him as usual, he wouldn't have such delicate nerves.

While he wondered why he was in this mood, Rei had already gouged up on the hill of the treasure house, "It would be nice to have such a thing as a gem, and no matter how bad a gem is, it can be exchanged for some money...... Why is there only gold and silver here that will be corroded?" she grabbed a handful of gold coins in her hand, but the gold coin was completely indiscerning. These coins are not completely worthless, but they are only slightly better than the gold coins of the Double Eagles. If they want to have a harvest, this kind of gold coin, the two of them have to carry at least a big bag each.

That wasn't the first thing Rei thought about, and she continued to dig through the remains of the treasure with her small hands, like a mole. However, moles don't have the eyes of rats.

Julius watched as Lei was busy and looked at the weapon in his hand. The shield and sword were heavy, more inflexible than normal weapons, and the surface was covered with rust, so that unless they were used to smash people, they would not be able to perform the purpose of weapons. He put the two things aside and picked up another spear. The spear was heavier than the sword and shield, and with this length and shape, he did not think that it was for a normal person...... It's too long, and the shape of the gun head is peculiar, it's snake-shaped. It is very puzzling what exactly these weapons are used for. Maybe Lulunaka knew, but she wasn't here anymore.

While Julius and Rei were searching the vault, Lulunaka had gone deeper underground. She takes Julius and Rei to the Vault, which is already a world far from the surface, and she is still going down, going deeper into the underworld. When the moving platform stopped, she came to a long, narrow, sloping passage. As she descended from the moving platform, it made an unsettling noise, and finally it was silent - probably broken.

Lulunaka, who had lost her mobility tool to go back, didn't panic because of this, just glanced at it and left. She stepped onto the sloping passage and slid down. She hummed a little song, looking like a little girl who was out playing, but no little girl would come to this underground world that no one had ever set foot in.

How long had it been since she had been here?Lulunaka counted the time that had passed, and found that she was almost unable to remember, it seemed so far away that she was about to forget it. But there was one thing she wouldn't forget, maybe she was the last, remembering what kind of place it was.

It didn't take much time for her to reach the end of the passage. It's still a hall, but it's not a treasure trove, there's no mountain of garbage called treasures...... Here, there is only one stove.

This stove was in the middle of the hall, connecting the ceiling to the floor, and was in the shape of a column, and it was impossible for five or six people to hold it completely. And I'm afraid no one would be stupid enough to hold on to such a thing—because this stove has a snake bone entangled. It was a bone that was bigger than the bones of the snake guard, and if it weren't for the huge snake head, it might have been considered a dragon's bone.

It's just that when a snake has such a size, then it is no different from a dragon.

"Hey...... So it's here. Lulunaka looked up at the snake bone, which could no longer move, and let out an emotional voice, "You should be the last royal snake of Inside...... It's a good place to sleep forever in such a place. I don't know how many necromancers are still eager to get their hands on your remains......" Lulunaka looked into the eyes of the serpent's remains, its black frames devoid of any light, and had completely turned into a dead thing. It didn't transform into an undead, it just died.

"It's a great favor not to become an undead, the last royal snake. Lulunaka walked over and patted it on the bone. Its body hovered over the stove, its head pressed against the ground, blocking the part of the stove that connected to the ground. "If you're still alive, I'm going to tear you down...... As much as I love grinding bones, it's still heart-wrenching to grind old antiques like yours into powder. ”

Lulunaka had a rare soft expression of affection on her face, which was completely different from her usual appearance. Her expression looked like she was remembering something that was gone.
