It’s very likely that this is the place he’s been looking for. Tang Zhong walked to the cave entrance, greeted by a strong scent of blood. He saw many severed limbs and legs of demon beasts. It was indeed strange, how come so many demon beasts seemed to have died here? At this moment, the sword in Tang Zhong’s hand gleamed even brighter! It seems there’s no mistake, this is the place he was searching for. "Be careful, the Dark Universe is full of hidden dangers, don’t rush in, understood?" said one of the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers. "Earlier, I could feel a surge of dark aura from that sword, enough to corrode it, which shows that this place must have once been a land of slaughter, truly extraordinary!" continued the Flame Dragon Soldier. "I’ll be cautious!" Tang Zhong replied, then headed deeper into the cave. Inside the cave, the dampness hit him; the ground was a mire. Luckily, Tang Zhong managed to stand firm, otherwise, he could have been swallowed by the swamp before even entering the cave. "It’s actually Ghost Marsh, which means many have died here!" exclaimed the Flame Dragon Soldier. Ghost Marsh, just from the name you know it’s extraordinary. What kind of cave is this? At that moment, a torch appeared in Tang Zhong’s hand, its flame burning brightly, illuminating half the cave. The ground was entirely Ghost Marsh, so he could only walk along the edges, while from above, drops of black liquid kept dripping into the Ghost Marsh. Tang Zhong’s heartbeat quickened. The Ghost Marsh gave a suffocating feeling. If a person’s willpower wasn’t strong, they’d likely be oppressed. "No wonder the sword has so much black aura. Having been here for so long, it’s a miracle it’s still usable. This place is strange, the sword even stranger. Is this your fortune or the place of your demise?" said the Flame Dragon Soldier. "Of course it’s my fortune!" Tang Zhong laughed. "I hope so too!" responded the Flame Dragon Soldier. The sound of wings flapping in the air, suddenly, several bats flew out. Tang Zhong didn’t know how far he had walked. "So deep, an amazing place in the Galactic Dark Universe? Wait, there seems to be stairs ahead!" suddenly shouted the Flame Dragon Soldier. With the help of the torch, Tang Zhong looked down and saw stairs below, then slowly descended. The next second, a more expansive view appeared before Tang Zhong! Before him was a corridor, ancient, with dim red light flickering on both sides. "These are flames emitted from Flame Stones; one Flame Stone can burn for a billion years. But now with such dim light, does it mean this has been here for billions of years?" the Flame Dragon Soldier remarked in shock. That was something Tang Zhong could never imagine. "Such a long time?" Tang Zhong was stunned. "Long? Actually, it’s quite short. You’re just an Earthling, some things you can’t know. What surprises me is finding such a place in the Galactic system. Didn’t I say before, the Galactic system is a small place, such a place shouldn’t exist here." stated the Flame Dragon Soldier nonchalantly. "Okay then!" Tang Zhong nodded. With such words, Tang Zhong looked ahead more attentively. Every pore on Tang Zhong’s body tightened; he felt a murderous intent. Suddenly looking up, he saw a steel plate bristling with spikes crashing down. He abruptly stepped back, and the spike board fell to the ground, shaking the ground. Had he been directly hit, he might be dead now. "Such a sophisticated trap?" remarked the Flame Dragon Soldier. "Sophisticated?" Tang Zhong didn’t understand the meaning! "Yes, but you wouldn’t understand anyway. This place is truly peculiar; move forward cautiously!" urged the Flame Dragon Soldier. Tang Zhong stepped past the steel plate and continued; each step was taken with extreme caution. Whoosh! From the surrounding walls, arrows suddenly shot out, becoming a rain of arrows. Carelessness would make one a pincushion. Fortunately, Tang Zhong’s agile steps dodged all the attacks safely. "That was close!" Tang Zhong exhaled a long breath. Suddenly, ahead, a sculpture emerged, an eagle head! "The eagle head of a Predator!" exclaimed the Flame Dragon Soldier. "What is a Predator?" Tang Zhong had heard the term before but never knew what it was. "Predators are an organization, equivalent in fame to organizations like Galactic University, but Predators shouldn’t be here, very odd!" said the Flame Dragon Soldier. "Why are there Predator people here?" asked Tang Zhong, approaching the eagle head sculpture, realizing a dead end lay ahead. "There’s no road!" said Tang Zhong. "Chop the eagle head sculpture apart!" instructed the Flame Dragon Soldier. "Alright!" Tang Zhong swung his sword, smashing the sculpture with a crack. Then, the massive wall behind the sculpture collapsed dramatically. Tang Zhong was nearly dumbfounded. "Indeed, a Predator’s mind never changes!" said the Flame Dragon Soldier, "Go inside quickly. It must be a Predator’s treasure vault, given that they shouldn’t be here." "A vault? Wouldn’t it contain treasures?" Tang Zhong’s eyes widened. "How could you easily find treasures in a Predator’s vault?" rolled his eyes the Flame Dragon Soldier. The wall ahead collapsed, and the bricks, due to prolonged time, turned into dust upon hitting the ground. Tang Zhong stepped forward. Before him lay several chests of jewels and a long passage forward. "This... this looks like the Predator’s warehouse!" Tang Zhong said. The Flame Dragon Soldier was stunned, never expecting it to be a warehouse. Since when did Predators become so careless, leaving treasures here? However, if it’s really a Predator’s warehouse, Tang Zhong is about to hit the jackpot. "Quick... quickly go on, I want to see what’s inside!" Tang Zhong moved swiftly. Before him were numerous treasure chests and various ores inside. "Water Essence Ore, even Fire Ink... my god, the warehouse holds so much for you now!" Tang Zhong said nothing, continuing forward. The surrounding walls bore an axe-shaped symbol, the mark of the Predators. "I feel there’s something else here!" said the Flame Dragon Soldier. "I feel it too!" Tang Zhong replied. For in his hand, the longsword trembled fiercely, as if summoned! Then he looked in one direction; the sword shook because of something ahead. Tang Zhong hurried forward, moving like a whirlwind. After turning a corner, he reached a high majestic hall. Tang Zhong had never set foot in such a hall; at the very front was a high platform, typical of an ancient Imperial Palace. And on the high platform, a golden armor, gleaming magnificently. At that moment, the sword in Tang Zhong’s hand calmed, indicating it was the armor that attracted him.
