#451 - Chapter 440 Someone has been here before
"What is this…"
Jiang Han frowned, a dilapidated hall, guarded by four Immortal-grade BOSSes.
This level of difficulty was simply outrageous.
Without any other smaller monsters around, even he wouldn't be able to break through this defense with these four Immortal-grade BOSSes.
"It seems that obtaining this last sacred object won't be so easy after all."
Jiang Han sighed softly, it was no wonder Arthur Lant and the others were so wary of this desolate canyon.
If they had also ventured this deep, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
Jiang Han had no intention of forcing his way through; although he was curious about the sacred object, the chances were too slim to waste time.
Instead, exploring the surroundings to see if he could find any clues left behind by Lucifer was the real task.
As for the sacred object, it wouldn't be too late to launch a surprise attack when he reached level 100.
"Buzz!"
However, just as he turned around, the Brutal Fang in his inventory, which had been dormant since its blood bath, began to tremble.
Then, this weapon emitting a blood-colored light flew out of the inventory on its own, hovering in front of Jiang Han, buzzing continuously.
A strange scene unfolded.
Around the hall, the four gigantic Immortal-grade BOSSes, upon seeing the Brutal Fang, stopped in unison.
Even the mist ceased churning; the vicinity suddenly became quiet, with only the dilapidated hall slowly collapsing.
"The hatred disappeared?"
Jiang Han immediately noticed that the hatred originally locked onto him by the four BOSSes had vanished without a trace.
The BOSSes stood motionless like stone sculptures.
"It seems that Lucifer's reputation is still quite effective."
Jiang Han reached out, and the Brutal Fang landed in his hand.
The Immortal-grade BOSSes remained still.
Jiang Han smoothly changed direction and continued toward the dilapidated hall.
The process was still smooth; as something once used by Lucifer, his subordinates should be familiar with this item, and therefore no longer blocked Jiang Han.
Soon, he entered the hall.
As soon as he entered, a musty smell assaulted his senses; the hall was even wider than he had imagined, but this also made it more empty and desolate.
Looking around, he only saw a few stone pillars supporting the hall; the rest was filled with cold stone slabs and walls.
Tap… Tap… Tap…
Jiang Han walked unhurriedly, his footsteps echoing.
After some searching, he finally found something unusual.
In a corner of the hall, a trace of magical energy溢出, although well concealed, it could not escape his notice.
"A teleportation array?"
"Where does it lead?"
Jiang Han squatted down and wiped the floor; sure enough, he brushed away a thick layer of accumulated dust, revealing several complex magical inscriptions below.
These magical inscriptions were not only uniquely shaped, but their magical energy operation also contradicted the current mainstream magical inscriptions.
But Jiang Han knew their origin.
Fallen magic.
Not only was it a relatively mysterious magic now, but it was the same even in ancient times.
This was a magic unique to fallen angels, and Lucifer, the king of fallen angels, was the pioneer.
Although Jiang Han didn't know it, Lucifer had told him some related knowledge back then.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, Jiang Han poured magical energy into the inscriptions.
Like parched soil receiving moisture, gray mist rose up the moment the magical energy was poured in, and then a magic array suddenly opened.
Then, Jiang Han's figure disappeared from the spot.
When his vision cleared again, Jiang Han found himself in another hall.
Compared to the previous hall, this one was not so spacious; in terms of scale, any city lord's mansion in any main city would surpass it.
But…
Jiang Han found a series of footprints on the ground.
"Someone has been here?"
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the extremely abrupt string of footprints.
This string of footprints was very shallow, and the traces were very clear, obviously not left from ancient times.
In other words, someone had actually entered this hall recently.
"Who could it be?"
Jiang Han looked at the string of footprints that stretched into the depths of the hall, lost in thought.
Not to mention the four Immortal-grade BOSSes outside the hall, even the many fallen angels on the outskirts of the canyon could block 99% of people.
Didn't you see how cautious Arthur Lant and the other royal court guards were?
Where would ordinary people have the qualifications to approach?
Currently, Jiang Han knew that only the so-called King of Apocalypse on the entire Apocalypse Continent seemed to have the strength to enter.
Or perhaps, there were other powerful people; after all, the Apocalypse Continent was vast.
But this possibility was not high.
"If it was really the King of Apocalypse who came here, then why would he have people delve this deep?"
Jiang Han had some bad guesses in his mind.
He followed the footprints all the way forward, and another string of footprints appeared in the hall.
Before long, Jiang Han passed through the hall.
Similarly, what appeared before his eyes was still an extremely open area, but in it, an extremely small black dot was very conspicuous.
Jiang Han quickly approached, and with his abnormal eyesight, he could see that the small black dot was a stone platform.
And on the stone platform, there was also a circular vessel, full of a sense of age.
But besides that, there was nothing else special.
However, below the stone platform, there was still a string of footprints, just like the footprints in the hall, the owner should be the same.
"This vessel is just a carrier; there should be something else on the stone platform."
Jiang Han observed the traces on the stone platform and immediately came to a conclusion.
The vessel was not originally empty; there should have been something in it, but with the arrival of the owner of the footprints, the things on the stone platform were taken away, leaving only this one vessel.
"Perhaps, this thing should be the sacred object I'm looking for."
Jiang Han looked around and vaguely had a guess.
However, all of this was just a guess; after looking at the stone platform for a while, ensuring that there was nothing missing, he began to carefully explore the surroundings.
Time passed.
With Jiang Han's current speed and洞察力, the speed of searching for things was astonishing, and soon the surrounding area was searched by him.
But unfortunately, there was nothing else here except a stone platform.
That suspected "sacred object" should be the only thing here.
And it seemed to have been taken away by the so-called king.
