Chapter 843: It’s Best To Be Prudent!
It was an exquisite golden gate with peculiar carvings. They were not of any rare plants or animals and just seemed to be patterns.
No one paid much attention to it and came to the gate.
“There won’t be any traps here, right?” Kathu frowned.
No one replied to him as they were unsure what would happen after they went past the gate.
A deep light flashed in w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes as he used Eyes of Essence. He stared right through the golden gates.
At the beginning, the Eyes of Essence worked well. He could see through the internal structure of the golden gates, layer by layer. However, he soon realized that the gates had a strange quality. They actually had a hindering effect on the Eyes of Essence. The further he went, the more difficult it was to continue.
Just as he was about to see through the gates completely, a golden flash suddenly appeared and blinded him.
“Huh?” w.a.n.g Teng frowned. A hint of astonishment appeared in his heart.
His Eyes of Essence had been upgraded to the intermediate stage and could even see through the essence of spiritual contracts. But now, he couldn’t look past the gates?
Was there something strange about them?
“Should I upgrade it?” w.a.n.g Teng was hesitant.
He had spent a full 10,000 blank attribute points upgrading the Eyes of Essence from the beginner stage to the intermediate stage previously. To take it to the next level, it would cost him ten times more… that was 100,000 points!
100,000 points!
w.a.n.g Teng’s vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
He spent so long saving up more than 300,000 blank attributes. They were from the star beast riot and the battle in the Central Continent. He could only collect so many blank attributes when large numbers of star beasts died. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he could save over 300,000 blank attributes.
And now, he was going to spend 100,000 points like this.
...
His heart was bleeding!
w.a.n.g Teng took a deep breath and finally decided to spend the blank attributes on the Eyes of Essence. There wouldn’t be any gains without losses.
The more imperceptible the gates were, the more it meant that there was something special in them.
Spending 100,000 blank attributes was akin to buying insurance!
It was best to be prudent!
In an instant, 100,000 blank attribute points were cleared, and there was a change in Eyes of Essence. It had upgraded to the advanced stage.
Eyes of Essence: 1/1000 (advanced stage)
At this moment, w.a.n.g Teng was full of self-confidence. He felt that he had the eyes of a hawk!
A bright light flashed across his eyes, and he looked at the gates again.
Now, the gate seemed like tofu. His gaze penetrated it easily, and even the golden flash couldn’t stop him.
It’s the power of runes. w.a.n.g Teng got a surprise as he saw through the essence of the golden flash.
He could finally see the situation behind the gates.
It was actually a s.p.a.cious command room surrounded by various instruments. However, they were all desolate. It had been years since they were last used.
The astonis.h.i.+ng thing was, the command room was spotless and immaculate.
“Are these remains of a huge s.p.a.cecraft?” w.a.n.g Teng almost scared himself with his own conjecture.
The remains covered the entire Central Continent. If it was a s.p.a.cecraft, how huge would it be?
w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and continued the scan the command room. Suddenly, his pupils shrank abruptly.
What did he see?
There were people!
w.a.n.g Teng was bewildered. There were people behind the gates?
No, that’s not right… He couldn’t detect any life in them. They were already dead!
w.a.n.g Teng looked at the bodies and found no aura of life. All six bodies were dead.
These were corpses!
He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The remains had been here for a long time. If there were still living beings inside, it would have been absurd!
w.a.n.g Teng finally had the mood to study the bodies after calming down.
He didn’t know how long the bodies had been dead, but they maintained their appearance. Otherwise, w.a.n.g Teng wouldn’t have mistaken them for living people.
Three of the corpses looked like regular humans, but they had different hair colors and were wearing damaged battle armor. There were several fatal scars, without any signs of decay at all. He could even see a trace of red blood.
As for the other three corpses, one was fully clad in scales and looked like a lizard. It even had a horn and a long tail covered in scales.
“Lizard?” w.a.n.g Teng was curious.
He had seen enough aliens, including one with tentacles like Hadock. A lizard wasn’t something he couldn’t accept.
Speaking of Hadock, w.a.n.g Teng was wondering where he and that fatty had gone.
When fighting against the dark apparitions, they lured a devil lord away and hadn’t appeared since the continent collapsed.
w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t worried about their safety. They were cunning and wouldn’t die so easily.
The second corpse had a dark-blue body with snake-like skin. Its arms were like scythes and were flas.h.i.+ng with a cold metallic light. It was leaning to its side, and its chest had collapsed in with three clear and large fist marks.
The last corpse was the most intact. He was sitting on the seat at the center of the command room, with his hands clasped under his chin. He was looking at the screen in front of him as if he was deep in thought.
And the appearance of the corpse was very peculiar. He was huge and was more than six meters tall. His muscles were bulging and seemed to be full of strength. He had a huge head, and there were several tentacle-like organs growing on his chin.

The most bizarre thing was that there was a vertical eye on his bald forehead!
w.a.n.g Teng inadvertently looked into the eye and felt a creepy feeling in his heart. He trembled all over, and his back was immediately soaked with cold sweat!
Frightening!
Extremely terrifying!
w.a.n.g Teng took a breath of cold air. He couldn’t calm down for a long time. He actually felt an uncontrollable fear, which was unbelievable.
It was an overbearing pressure from a greater lifeform. No matter how strong his will was, there was no use.
“What level of power is this?” w.a.n.g Teng forced himself to calm down and averted his eyes quickly, muttering to himself.
It was really unimaginable that a corpse could exude such pressure. If he was alive, how horrifying would he be?
