Man at the top of the food chain

In the twelve cylinders in front of him, the corpses of the previous emperors of the Baiyue Kingdom were stored.

Without exception, they are all level four ability users.

Li Anping looked at them one by one carefully. The closer the corpses were to modern times, the better they were preserved, especially the last three, which looked lifelike, as if they were still alive but just sleeping. Obviously, with the development of the times, the technology of preserving corpses has become more and more complete.

Each of these twelve emperors is one of the most powerful top ability users in the contemporary era, and has awakened various bloodline abilities. But he still couldn't escape the passage of time. After his death, he could only leave a body for the descendants of the Fang family to admire.

However, when Li Anping looked at the twelve cylinders, his eyes suddenly froze. It turned out that there were only eleven corpses of kings in the twelve containers, and one of them contained a strange thing.

It was a piece of meat that looked like the tail of some kind of creature, floating in a solution. The piece of meat is about one meter long and about twenty centimeters in diameter. Its surface is covered with a layer of fine black scales.

"What is this?"

Yelu Mengxiang who was standing by saw him walking up to Li Anping and explained: "This thing already existed at the beginning of the founding of the Baiyue Kingdom. I wonder if you have heard some rumors that the first emperor of our Baiyue Kingdom, Fang Ziqi, was Only by obtaining the treasure left by Bai Xinghe, the founding emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty two thousand years ago, can we create hundreds of years of history in the troubled times."

"Oh? Is this true? This thing is the treasure left by Bai Xinghe?" Li Anping looked at the pieces of meat in the container with interest, but suddenly, there was a strange feeling of hunger in his heart. The child became hungry.

The piece of meat in front of him turned into a delicious meal at this moment, and every cell in his body seemed to be shouting and cheering.

‘Eat it! ’

‘Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! ’

Li Anping felt as if every cell in his body was craving for the flesh and blood in front of him. There was even a lot of saliva secreted from his throat. He couldn't help but make a gurgling sound and swallowed.

Yelu Mengxiang, who was on the side, obviously did not notice Li Anping's abnormality, and continued: "According to internal records of the royal family, Emperor Taizu did discover a Shang Dynasty relic, but it was not a treasure left by Bai Xinghe. It was a treasure. This piece of flesh and blood was found on the battlefield left by ancient ability users. In addition, there were also some secret martial arts books.

But what is the use of this piece of flesh and blood? There are no records among the royal family. We also sent people to study it, but we didn't come to any conclusion. It looks like the tail of some kind of creature, but it's actually just a rock.

If it weren't for the rules set by Emperor Taizu that it must be well preserved, I'm afraid this thing would have been cleared out of the inner treasury long ago. "

"Yeah." Li Anping nodded, holding back the waves of hunger in his heart. He said calmly: "I want this thing."

When Li Anping asked for this thing, Yelu Mengxiang who was present naturally had no objection. What's more, this thing is just a piece of rubbish stone in her opinion, and she doesn't know what it is used for. Even if Emperor Taizu ordered them to be preserved well, let alone Emperor Taizu who has been dead for so many years, even if he comes back from the dead, he probably has to listen to Li Anping.

Next, a group of three people walked towards the third level of the inner treasury, and the second level of the inner treasury contained the corpses of the previous Baiyue Emperors. It was important to the Baiyue Royal Family, but to Li Anping, it was nothing. Except for the stone that aroused his hunger, he had no interest in anything else.

Arriving at the gate of the inner treasury on the third floor, Yelu Mengxiang sighed and said: "Only the emperors of the past hundred months can enter the inner treasury on the third floor. I no longer have this authority. I am afraid that in this world, only Grandpa Huang can enter." Able to get in."

Li Anping said nothing. Instead, he walked forward and touched the huge iron door in front of him.

The iron door is round and looks to be made of some unknown alloy, a bit like the vault door of a bank safe. But bigger and thicker than that.

In fact, not only the door is very strong, but the entire third floor of the inner warehouse is wrapped in nine layers of special alloy with a total thickness of 18 meters. In other words, the entire third floor of the inner warehouse is just a metal cabinet. If you want to go in first. There is only one way to go: open the door.

"Are the secret martial arts books inside?" Li Anping asked while touching the door.

Yelu Mengxiang nodded: "The third level of the inner treasury is the last level. It contains all the precious secret martial arts collected in Baiyue since the founding of the country. This is what His Majesty told me personally before his death. Any prince If you want to practice the secret martial arts, you must apply to His Majesty three months in advance.

However, due to the emergence of fifth-level ability users, and because the secret martial arts in the inner library are too advanced, the qualification requirements for practitioners are also very high, so fewer and fewer people apply. In the past ten years, almost No one has applied anymore.

And even if you want to practice ancient abilities, there are many sects in Baiyue Kingdom that have the inheritance of esoteric martial arts. The esoteric martial arts in these sects not only have low requirements, but also have masters to guide them. Even if most members of the royal family want to practice, they don't know how. Consider the tomes stored in the inner vault.

The third level of the inner library has not been opened for a long time. "The majesty in Yelu Mengxiang's mouth obviously refers to King Qilin.

Li Anping nodded upon hearing this. So far, no fifth-level ability users have been cultivated in the ancient system. In addition, the qualifications are high, and the cultivation takes a lot of time and energy, so it has always been looked down upon by the ability users of the other five major systems.

In addition, the secret books are controlled by the top government officials and will not be open to ordinary people for cultivation. Even if they are open to ordinary people for cultivation, not many people can practice because of their qualifications.

These reasons have made the overall strength of ancient ability users much weaker than that of the other five major ability users.

However, Li Anping still attaches great importance to these classics. The fact that Baiyue Country does not have the courage to open these classics does not mean that he does not have them.

Other organizations think that this kind of classics is difficult to scale up and mass-produce because of the requirements for the qualifications of the practitioners, and it is better to study modern weapons. But Li Anping still wants to give it a try. He thinks there is always a way to solve these technical problems. For example, his own immortal body is the best experimental material.

There are also countless clones in the Eighth Research Institute, which are also good materials for practicing these secret martial arts.

Thinking of this, Li Anping smiled: "You guys step back a few steps."

Yelü Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin obviously guessed what the other party was going to do. They didn't have the courage to dissuade them, so they could only quickly retreat to the back to avoid being accidentally injured by Li Anping.

Li Anping saw that they had retreated far enough, so he raised his right fist.

The black energy began to gather towards his palm. Like black, sticky ink, it wrapped his entire fist.

The door in front of him was very thick, but Li Anping felt that he could break it. The only problem was that he had to control his strength and not damage the classics in the inner library.

Carefully controlling his strength, Li Anping's right fist gently extended and hit the door of the inner library.

Although it seemed that Li Anping only punched lightly, the result was terrible.

The entire gate made a loud bang, and then it was deformed and dented. A hoarse and disgusting metal friction sound came from the gate, which made Yelu Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin, who were standing a few hundred meters away, feel upset.

When the loud noise stopped, the entire metal gate had been completely deformed and dented inward for almost two meters, but there was still no gap leading to the inside.

This surprised Li Anping.

‘Did you use too little strength?’

Thinking of this, Li Anping raised his fist again carefully, and his fist with black thoughts hit the dented metal door like a heavy hammer.

There was another bang, this time it was shorter and sharper than the previous one.

When Li Anping retracted his right fist, the entire metal door had slowly completely separated from the door frame and retreated inward. Even the door frame could not withstand the tearing of Li Anping’s huge force and cracked.

The passage leading to the third floor of the inner storehouse was open in front of Li Anping.
