Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3391: Treasure VaultEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

”Underground?”

Zane heard this, looked around cautiously, lowered his voice, and said quietly, ”I visited this place a long time ago. The underground levels were the treasury area of the auction house, used to temporarily store auction items. They usually didn’t allow outsiders to enter.”

”So that meant the treasures of the previous Beetle King had been taken by someone and put up for auction?”

Fang Heng’s expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Interesting.

Someone dared to steal from him?

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked at the ground, then glanced at his surroundings.

There were quite a lot of people moving around inside the auction house, but none of them gave him any sense of threat.

Better to keep it simple—cause a small commotion inside the auction house, and then, taking advantage of the chaos, slip into the lower treasury directly with his soul body and retrieve what belonged to him.

He might even pick up a few other good things from the treasury while he was at it.

These people here were far from capable of trapping him.

Zane saw Fang Heng’s silent expression and immediately shuddered inside.

No!

Absolutely not!

”Fang Heng, brother, calm down. This is the Endless Domain, the territory of the Five Kings of Gods. Forcing our way through won’t end well for us.”

Zane hurriedly stopped Fang Heng and whispered, ”The auction house still had some credibility. Things might not be as bad as we think. Give me a moment, I’ll call a friend to help.”

Fang Heng looked at him and asked, ”A friend?”

”Yes, an old friend. She had some influence here.”

As Zane spoke, he pulled out a black communication stone from his robe and recited a few incantations softly.

The communication stone lit up faintly, then dimmed again.

”Alright, she’ll be here soon.”

”That works too.”

Fang Heng was not in a hurry.

He didn’t know the true strength of the Five Kings of Gods in the Endless Domain. If Zane could help resolve things, avoiding trouble would be ideal.

About ten minutes later, a woman in a long black dress walked in from the entrance of the first-floor hall. She was tall, and every movement of hers carried the poise of someone in a position of power.

”Pena.”

Zane went up to greet her, forcing a smile onto his face. ”Long time no see.”

Pena glanced at Zane and chuckled lightly, ”Zane, you haven’t contacted me for so long. I really didn’t expect you to still be alive.”

”Hahaha, bad luck. I ran into some trouble, but it’s all resolved now.”

Zane scratched his head with an awkward laugh.

Thousands of years ago, he had been quite a figure in the Endless Domain. He never imagined he would fall to this state.

His clone had been sealed by his spawns for several thousand years. After escaping, he discovered his main body had perished, and almost none of his former believers remained.

”Let me introduce you. This is Fang Heng, my friend.”

Only then did Pena turn her gaze to Fang Heng, looking him up and down.

A human?

A friend?

Anyone Zane called a friend definitely wasn’t ordinary.

But Fang Heng’s aura was extremely calm, and she couldn’t see anything from it.

Instead, the aura from the woman beside him felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

”Speak. What do you want from me?”

Pena turned back to Zane, straightforwardly saying, ”I don’t have much time.”

”My friend is looking for something. I know you’re familiar with the believers of the Decaying God in the auction house, so I hoped you could introduce us.”

”What thing?”

Xia Xi raised her hand toward the displayed exhibit and said, ”The items left behind by the previous Ouroboros Beetle King. These belonged to Ouroboros, yet they’re openly displayed here. This was an insult to Ouroboros.”

Ouroboros!

Pena’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked again at Fang Heng and the others.

Right!

That aura!

The Eternal Disaster—Seed of Ouroboros!

No wonder it felt familiar.

She remembered that a long time ago, the Beetle King of the Seed of Ouroboros had come to the Endless Domain.

Outside the Endless Domain, that being had been extremely powerful—she had even heard that the God Clan found him troublesome.

But inside the Endless Domain, the Beetle King had quickly suffered losses.

She didn’t know what happened afterward.

”Then the identity of the two of you is?”

”This is Fang Heng, the Beetle King of the current Seed of Ouroboros.”

Pena’s eyelids twitched slightly, and she examined Fang Heng once more.

The first-phase Beetle King of the Seed of Ouroboros!

Interesting!

Pena shifted her gaze away from Fang Heng, walked to the exhibit, and looked at it. ”I know this display item. It has been here for a long time. We’re not sure what it actually is. But this severed limb could release a steady flow of void energy. Combined with a special solution, it could slowly form a type of crystal.”

”This crystal contained a portion of void energy. In about a hundred years, it could condense into a piece about the size of a fingernail.”

Pena then looked at the label beneath the display case and continued, ”It is an exhibition item of the auction house. It isn’t part of this auction.”

”You said it belonged to Ouroboros. Do you have any proof?”

Xia Xi stepped forward, raised her hand toward the severed limb through the barrier.

”Chi... Chi chi...”

The skin of the severed limb writhed slightly, and a tiny worm body poked out from beneath the decayed flesh.

”Interesting.”

Pena thought for a moment, then nodded, ”I don’t know where the auction house got the limb from. I can take you to ask, but I can’t guarantee you’ll get it back. The auction house has its rules, and even the face of my lord might not help.”

Zane said, ”Pena, then please take us to ask.”

”Alright.”

With Pena leading the way, Fang Heng and the others moved through the internal passages of the auction house without obstruction and entered a VIP room to wait.

Soon, a neatly dressed middle-aged man walked in.

”Lady Pena, I failed to welcome you properly.”

Manager Fayman bowed respectfully to Pena.

”Manager Fayman, no need to be so polite.”

Pena raised her hand gracefully and gestured toward Fang Heng, ”My friends said that an ancestral relic of theirs appeared in your auction house, and they wish to know the details.”

”Such a thing?” Manager Fayman looked at Fang Heng and the others with a professional smile. ”May I ask what item? Do you have the serial number?”

”The item left by the previous Seed of Ouroboros. The exhibit numbered T-281. The previous Beetle King left many items, and I believe this is only one of them.”

”Let me think... T-281...”

Fayman pressed his temples, recalling, then whispered a few words to his assistant.

”I remember now. I had some impression of that display item. It was deposited here by a certain gentleman. And as you said, he left more than one item.”

Fang Heng looked at him, his voice cold. ”Since it was deposited, why did it appear in the exhibition area?”

”Because the depositor only paid for five hundred years of storage.”
