Chapter 56 (1/2)

Just as Wei Huo was about to use the Black Bomb, he heard Wei Sha’s trembling voice coming from behind his back.

“Big… Divine Man!”

Wei Huo was shocked. He turned around to find Wei Sha and the Mimic trembling under the altar.

“What’s going on?” Wei Huo asked.

Wei Sha said in a shaky voice, “Big Divine Man… I’m sensing a strong threatening aura!”

The Mimic was shaking as well. It seemed as if it was extremely afraid of the altar. Wei Huo understood it at that moment that they were both afraid of the coffin on this altar.

As he had activated Massacre Mode, the threatening aura from it canceled out the aura coming from the coffin. That was why Wei Huo did not feel anything.

Wei Huo scrunched his brows. He used the bone to knock his own palm while he began thinking about it. Could there be an incredibly terrifying creature hiding inside this coffin? A Legendary creature? An Ancient Danger?

Wei Huo was now a little hesitant about detonating this Black Bomb.

If it was a Superboss [1] hiding in that coffin, would it not be embarrassing to blow the coffin open and be defeated by it?

‘I should probably search through the ruins and grab all collectable treasures before anything.’

Wei Huo left the altar and explored the ruins while drawing a map for himself. Wei Sha and the Mimic evidently felt better after leaving the altar. They were no longer trembling. As for the Mimic, it started trailing behind Wei Huo happily as if nothing had happened.

However, the Mimic did not learn its lesson. At times, it still tried to jump and bite Wei Huo. Nonetheless with the help of God View, it ended up getting kicked aside by Wei Huo every time. After every kick, the Mimic would get up, shake its head, and happily trail behind Wei Huo again.

Wei Huo was a little puzzled. ‘Does this Mimic like being abused?’

Wei Huo concluded that it was a weird Mimic.

Wei Huo walked around with Wei Sha and the Mimic. Three hours later, they were nearly done with exploring this floor of the ruins. This floor was not huge, but Wei Huo still found some things. For example, Wei Huo came across some Ancient Technology. After scanning it with his scanner, Wei Huo realized that it was a battery about the size of a water bottle made from bronze.

The battery’s efficiency was not high, and it was disposable as well. However, it was the first time Wei Huo came across a battery made from bronze.

‘Don’t tell me there’s a bronze robot as well!’

Apart from Ancient Technology, Wei Huo found a giant bronze dragon statue as well. The dragon statue was huge, and it coiled around a white jade pillar.

This was probably the Legendary creature mentioned in the update. It could be a robot dragon too, but unfortunately Wei Huo could not find any switch to it.

Apart from those things, Wei Huo also found an entrance in a corner that led to the underground. However, it was sealed and protected by the rules. It could not be destroyed at all.

The entrance was a metal gate with runes carved on it. Every time Wei Huo threw a punch at it, the runes would glow in blue light.

It seemed like he had no choice but to destroy that coffin!

Generally, a sealed gate like that would require keys to unlock it. Wei Huo was already done with exploring this floor, and the only thing left untouched was the coffin on the altar. It would be normal for a Superboss to be guarding it since that was probably the key to the next floor.

When Wei Huo went back to the altar, Wei Sha and the Mimic began trembling again. They were shivering and did not dare to take another step forward. Meanwhile, Wei Huo walked over and placed four Black Bombs at each corner of the coffin.

Just as he was about to light them up, Wei Sha said, “Big Divine Man… I don’t feel good about this.”
