Chapter 444 We're rich! We're rich again!
"Coo coo, Your Highness!"
Looking at the newly grown feather and the even purer and more powerful energy within its body than before its injury, Zhao Cai excitedly flapped its wings.
Although it has very few feathers left on its body, no more than fifteen in total, it is overjoyed, jumping around in Shen Rugo's hand and affectionately rubbing its little head against her palm to express its gratitude and joy.
"Great! Zhao Cai, you're finally awake!"
Shen Rugo was overjoyed and held it in her hands.
Zhao Cai called out twice more in response.
"Do you remember what happened before?"
Shen Rugo asked cautiously.
Zhao Cai tilted its head, tried hard to recall, and then looked around in a panic, as if searching for the demonized Wu Xuemei. Clearly, its memory was still stuck at that moment.
Shen Rugo was deeply moved and sighed repeatedly. She gently stroked the new little downy hair that had grown on Zhao Cai and told Zhao Cai in a concise manner how she fought Wu Xuemei, how she established her foundation in the Heavenly Dao, how she used the great formation to severely injure Wu Xuemei, how the secret realm collapsed, and how she was thrown away by the spatial turbulence.
When Zhao Cai heard that Shen Rugo had truly succeeded in establishing her foundation in the Heavenly Dao and was now in the mid-stage of foundation establishment, her big, bean-like eyes widened in excitement and boundless admiration!
"Foundation Establishment of the Heavenly Dao! Her Highness the Princess has truly achieved Foundation Establishment of the Heavenly Dao! Hahaha! A god! Absolutely a god reincarnated!"
I knew I hadn't misjudged him! Cling to this powerful figure, and we'll live a life of luxury, restoring our ancient glory is just around the corner!
Its little head was already starting to imagine itself with full divine wings, roaming freely across the world.
After the initial excitement, Zhao Cai suddenly twitched its small nose, as if it had smelled something in the air.
It raised its head, looked around at the dense and eerie jungle with a puzzled expression, and asked through its divine sense, "Your Highness, where are we? Why does this place feel so strange?"
Shen Rugo then remembered the important matter and said with a bitter face, "Don't even mention it! I'm lost! I've been wandering around in this ghost forest for ages and can't get out!"
Zhao Cai was taken aback at first, but then she remembered Shen Rugo's disastrously bad sense of direction and couldn't help but burst into laughter, her body trembling in her hand.
"You stinky lucky charm! How dare you laugh at me!"
Enraged, Shen Rugo pretended to flick its head.
Zhao Cai quickly stopped laughing, but his eyes were still full of smiles.
It sniffed the air carefully again, and suddenly the few remaining hairs on its body stood on end. It shouted excitedly, "Hahaha! We're going to be rich! Your Highness! We're going to be rich again!"
"Get rich?"
Shen Rugo was taken aback.
"Yes! I smell an ancient and pure spiritual aura!"
Although it is very faint and obscured by some force, it is absolutely true!
There must be treasure deep in this forest! Real treasure!
"You mean this is a treasure trove, or even a secret realm?"
Shen Rugo's eyes immediately lit up.
Zhao Cai flapped its wings and said, "Your Highness, stop talking nonsense and come with me quickly!"
As it spoke, it leaped from Shen Ruge's heartbeat. Although it couldn't fly yet, it took two short steps and hopped along with exceptional agility, running in one direction.
Shen Rugo was skeptical, but she still sheathed her flying sword and quickly followed.
With her innate ability to attract wealth, Shen Rugo had a lot of confidence in this treasure-hunting expert's skills.
Guided by the fortune teller, Shen Rugo followed it through the dense forest, winding and turning, avoiding some natural mazes and areas lurking with danger. After walking for about half an hour, an area filled with light gray mist appeared ahead. From within the mist, a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble could be faintly felt.
"This is it! The aura is coming from here!"
Zhao Cai stopped and pointed its little paws at the gray mist.
Shen Rugo focused her senses and indeed detected that the space seemed to be somewhat abnormal after the gray fog appeared.
She channeled her spiritual power to protect herself and carefully stepped into the gray mist.
As they passed through the gray fog, the scene before them suddenly opened up, but it made Shen Rugo gasp in surprise!
What came into view was a vast expanse of ruins. The crumbling walls stretched out, and the magnificent outline of the former palace could still be vaguely discerned.
These buildings are ancient and unique in style, and the stone they use is also unusual. Even after countless years, they still retain a faint spiritual glow.
However, what is truly chilling is the skeleton scattered throughout the ruins!
These skeletons were numerous and varied in posture, but without exception, they all maintained a state of extreme terror before their deaths.
Some were curled up on the ground with their hands covering their heads, some were lying on their backs with their jaws wide open as if making a silent scream, some stretched out their bony hands as if trying to grab something, and some were intertwined with each other as if tearing each other apart in despair...
All the skulls, with their empty eye sockets, seemed to be staring in the same direction, their gaping jaws forming the image of an eternal scream, their deaths extremely gruesome, as if they had experienced some kind of extreme terror in an instant.
The entire ruins were shrouded in a gloomy, deathly, and ominous atmosphere.
"Where...where is this place? How could so many people be dead?"
Shen Rugo felt a chill run down her spine.
Zhao Cai shrank back, but its desire for the treasure outweighed its fear, and it urged, "Forget about that! Hurry! The treasure's aura is in that hall over there that hasn't completely collapsed yet!"
Shen Rugo composed herself, forcing back her discomfort, and walked around the grotesque white bones scattered on the ground towards the black hall that Zhao Cai had pointed to.
The doors of the main hall were already rotten; a gentle push would turn them to ashes.
The hall was also littered with white bones, but in the center stood several rows of jade shelves, on which were placed many things. Although most of them had lost their spirituality due to the passage of time, a few still emitted a shimmering precious light!
Shen Rugo's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly stepped forward.
Inside a jade box was a small, tree-shaped, emerald-green herb, radiating a rich vitality.
"Evergreen Heartwood"!
This is a top-grade spiritual herb that can be used to refine high-level healing pills and even extend lifespan!
In another jade bottle, there were three drops of liquid as bright as rubies, with faint phoenix shadows swirling around them.
"Phoenix Blood of Rebirth"!
It contains a trace of the rebirth power of the divine beast phoenix, which has unparalleled benefits for tempering the physical body and enhancing bloodline!
There was also a sword rack next to it, on which lay an ancient longsword. The blade was dark, but there were faint dragon patterns flowing around it, and its sharpness was restrained.
The "Hidden Dragon Ancient Sword" is at least a magic weapon-level flying sword!
In the corner, there was a pile of ores shimmering with various colors: "Star Iron," "Sun Essence Gold," "Void Crystal," and so on.
All of them are rare materials used to forge top-tier magical artifacts.
What made Shen Rugo's heart race even faster was that on an inconspicuous stone platform, there were two things: a pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, with what seemed to be a swirling galaxy inside, called the "Nine-Turn Star River Pill," and a strange amber the size of a fist, constantly changing its seven-colored halo. Sealed in the center of the amber was a drop of golden liquid that looked like a living thing, called the "Creation Source Liquid"!
Just by sensing the Daoist charm and immense energy emanating from these two treasures, Shen Rugo knew that they were absolutely heaven-defying spiritual objects!
"We're rich! We're really rich!"
