Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Oh gosh! These steps are not designed for ordinary people. What's this place? Surely, it could not have been built by humans." Zachary became more serious. He tried to activate the Flying Boots again, but he was still unable to fly at a higher altitude, so he had to use the Shadow Pace to climb the steps one by one.

There were one hundred steps, but thanks to the Shadow Pace, Zachary reached the 30th step in a short time. Just then, two transparent light shadows with strong auras at the Imperial Level rushed towards him at lightning speed.

"Warriors of Imperial Level? What are these two doing here?" Zachary's heart skipped a beat and simultaneously the ice aura grew in his body as he prepared himself for the oncoming assault.

However, when the two transparent shadows approached, he realized that they were not human beings. They were spiritual souls of Imperial Level, dressed in full armor with weapons in their hands. They looked like the guards of the palace, who were trying to stop him from approaching the gate.

Although they were merely spiritual souls of Imperial Level, Zachary didn't dare to be dismissive of them. They had almost the same power as warriors of the same level. Perhaps they might not have as much power as before, but they certainly couldn't be underestimated. Therefore, as they were approaching him, Zachary stretched out both his arms and two ice dragons rushed out howling loudly. The spiritual souls charged ahead to meet them head-on.

Bang!

Zachary felt the impact of the two extremely strong souls colliding with his ice dragons. Fortunately, he was close to the medium stage of Imperial Level. Otherwise, he might have suffered a loss in this battle.

"Ha-ha, I didn't expect to absorb the spiritual energy so quickly!" Suddenly, Zachary heard Andrew's arrogant laughter coming from the Holy Bone Bracer. "Harley, hold on. I'll absorb their spiritual energy now."

A blue light shone on the Holy Bone Bracer and the two spiritual souls of Imperial Level were

size was unusually large. And the thing that was shining was its eyes inlaid with gems.

"I got scared!" Zachary breathed a sigh of relief. He was a bold man, but he was still in a state of shock. If other people came, they would be scared out of their living daylights.

Just when he was about to move on, he suddenly found that there were colored, vivid murals extending behind the stone statue. He walked over to study them under the Ghost Lamp.

There were no words on the murals. Their contents were abstract. Some were about heaven while others were about hell. However, all the characters in the murals were huge and resembled human beings, just like the stone statue he hit just now.

"Hmm, these people look like Zelvag." After Zachary studied a few murals, realization hit and he said to himself, "Could this palace be a relic of the Chi Race? It turns out that the Chi Race really exists, but how did it originate? Why do its members look so different from humans?"

He had so many questions. He felt that he might have accidentally discovered some unimaginable secret.

He went to the murals and inspected them closely. The palace was so big that he couldn't finish studying them all even after a long time. Suddenly he stopped because he saw the image of Anne, to be precise, a goddess that looked like Anne, on the wall.
