Dragon's Origin

Chapter 649: Zhu Xingsheng's Treasure (Part 1)

So, it was hidden here. It has to be said that Zhu Xingsheng was indeed cunning.

The treasure location he set up fully considered the blind spots in most people's thinking. If you don't understand the sea, you probably wouldn't even know that he could use the natural phenomenon of high and low tides to hide the treasure underwater.

It was fortunate that Zhu Xingsheng was able to find such a natural marker. That huge × was obviously not something that could be artificially constructed. This is underwater, and in the sea. Unless someone has the cultivation and knowledge of someone like Wang Sheng, who would dare to easily enter the water?

So much painstaking effort! Wang Sheng didn't know how to describe Zhu Xingsheng. There's no need to ask; the treasure location couldn't have been found by Zhu Xingsheng himself. Instead, Zhu Xingsheng sent out experts and flying mounts to search the island for a route before finding this place.

Placing the treasure must have been done by Zhu Xingsheng himself, and it's certain that the experts who followed Zhu Xingsheng to set up these things are definitely dead.

How could he let others know about the things he left for his son? A person who doesn't even trust his adopted daughter naturally wouldn't trust outsiders.

Controlling the flying mount to descend, Wang Sheng jumped down when he was a few meters away from the water surface. This was low tide, and even at the lowest tide, the natural reef marked with the × was still five or six meters deep. If it were normal high tide, it would probably be more than ten meters. The water in this sea area seemed a bit murky, which is why the two of them couldn't see the huge mark below during high tide.

Very easily, Wang Sheng dived to the center point of the × mark. Now that they had found this place, there couldn't be any more twists and turns.

At the central intersection, there were no obvious traces of artificial excavation. It was covered with various shellfish and corals, and looked completely unremarkable.

However, Wang Sheng easily found a well-hidden cave nearby. The cave was not big, slightly thicker than Wang Sheng's arm, and the depth was about the same as Wang Sheng's arm. However, the entrance of the cave was blocked by several corals, and even the cave itself had been turned into a nest by something like a sea eel.

Effortlessly, Wang Sheng used the Nine Words Mantra to drive away the sea eel. Wang Sheng also easily broke off the corals at the entrance of the cave, revealing the entrance. After confirming that there were no creatures inside, Wang Sheng reached his hand inside.

For the sake of caution, Wang Sheng was wearing gloves, and they were made of the skin of an eighth-level realm demon beast with very good protection. Sure enough, as expected, when Wang Sheng reached the deepest part, at the same time as he touched a spherical object, several sharp thorns suddenly popped out from several positions on Wang Sheng's hand and forearm.

The thorns pierced Wang Sheng's gloves but were completely blocked outside. Under the protection of both the formation and the beast skin, the thorns couldn't pierce through the beast skin and break Wang Sheng's skin.

It took Wang Sheng a lot of effort to take out the sphere. The gloves had been pierced countless times, at least dozens of times.

The metal sphere still had some seabed silt and small shells on it, but it was obviously a human creation. Wang Sheng wanted to put the metal sphere into the storage ring, but found that he couldn't put it in at all. This also indicated that there must be a storage ring inside. Only the non-overlapping characteristics of the storage ring space would cause such a situation.

After carefully searching around, there were no similar holes or places to hide things. Wang Sheng then believed that he had really obtained Zhu Xingsheng's treasure.

Rushing out of the sea, Wang Sheng waved the metal ball in his hand at the old Taoist, grabbed the claws of a flying demon beast, flew upwards, and landed on the back of another flying demon beast.

At this point, the treasure hunt could be said to be completely over. All that remained was the joy of opening the treasure.

Back on the eighth island, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist settled the flying demon beasts, and then began to study the metal sphere.

The mud and sand and shells on the outside of the sphere had been removed. Some of the secretions of the shells were difficult to remove, but this did not prevent the two from seeing the material of the sphere.

A fist-sized gold ball. Only gold could remain undamaged after being soaked in seawater and still maintain its golden luster.

A perfectly cast metal ball with no gaps at all. Fortunately, gold is soft. Wang Sheng took the Tiger Tooth Sabre and easily cut open the gold ball.

The gold ball was just a protective layer wrapped around the outside to prevent the contents from being eroded by seawater. It was only one finger thick, and inside was a layer of incomplete rock shells, two layers, to ensure that the contents of the two layers of rock shells would not be damaged when the gold ball was cast.

Pinching open the rock shell, four storage rings appeared in front of Wang Sheng and Lingxu Old Taoist. The two looked at each other and smiled.

It could be said that at this point, all the mysteries had been solved, and only the final reveal remained.

"Old Taoist, guess what's inside," Wang Sheng didn't want to reveal the answer immediately and smiled at the old Taoist.

The old Taoist took a bottle of wine and slowly tasted it. Seeing Wang Sheng asking him, the old Taoist replied without thinking, "I guess there must be a batch of gold coins."

"What else?" Wang Sheng asked again. The storage ring space was not large. How many gold coins could it hold? Even if there were any, there wouldn't be many. Zhu Xingsheng was so smart, he couldn't possibly only put gold coins.

The newest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"There must be a batch of very valuable things," the old Taoist thought for a while, and then said, "Things that can be easily cashed out but are not easy to arouse people's vigilance. In addition, there should be some family heirlooms passed down from Zhu Xingsheng himself or his ancestors, cultivation books, and the like. Good pills are probably not lacking either. Well, that's all I can think of for now."

Basically, what the old Taoist said was similar to what Wang Sheng thought. If he was just arranging a wealthy life for Zhu Shaodong for the rest of his life, these things would be enough.

"Okay! Let's open it and see if we guessed right," Wang Sheng said with a smile, picked up a storage ring, and then cleared a space, spread a large beast skin, and then stimulated it with spiritual energy, releasing all the things in the storage ring.

With a crash, the sound of gold coins colliding rang out. Sure enough, Zhu Xingsheng left a batch of gold coins, not many, it seemed to be only a few thousand, enough for an ordinary family of four to live for decades. Of course, don't even think about a wealthy life. These gold coins are probably just for Zhu Shaodong to deal with ordinary daily expenses.

Mixed in with the gold coins were other things. A batch of small but exquisitely crafted jade carvings of Grandmaster level, the jade was of excellent quality, and the carving was so exquisite that it was amazing.

Sure enough, the old Taoist guessed right, small things that are easy to sell and have huge value.
