All The Treasures That I Hide Are Multiplied 10,000 Times In Value - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Demon Essence

“Are you from the Oak Clan?”

Qin Xiao looked up and saw two huge stone statues.

These two huge stone statues had green faces and fangs, looking like orcs.

Oak Ancestral Land Guardian Stone Statue: Level 1 Overlord unit, the guardian of the Oak Ancestral Land for generations. It is also an existence that tests the strength of the Oak people.

These two stone statues were quite strong.

In this world, levels were a symbol of strength, but levels did not represent everything.

Some were Level 1 Ordinary, while others were Level 1 Overlords.

For example, a One-Winged Angel was equivalent to Level 1 Ordinary, a Level 1 Demon was similar to Level 1 Elite, and a Two-Winged Angel was a Level 1 Overlord.

The Three-Winged Angel was naturally equivalent to a Level 2 Ordinary unit.

It seemed that the Three-winged Angel was stronger than the Two-winged Angel, but that was not the case.

Strength was a combination of a person’s level, skills, race, and talent.

Some Level 2 Ordinary units were even weaker than Level 1 Overlords, while powerful Level 1 Overlords had the chance to defeat Level 2 units.

The two stone statues in front of him were such existences.

This was the first time he had seen an existence that the True Vision judged as an intermediate threat after his talents were fully unlocked.

One had to know that even the Three-Winged Angel that was killed in an instant was only a low threat.

The Three-Winged Angel named Bai Ge was nothing more than a showoff. Even a slightly stronger Level 1 Overlord might be able to defeat him.

“Are you from the Oak Clan?”

Seeing that no one replied, the two stone statues asked again.

Qin Xiao turned to look at the prophet. He did not know how to answer.

The prophet slowly took a step forward.

Raising the scepter that could represent the identity of the Oak Clan, he replied, “The incompetent descendants of the Oak Clan have come to visit our ancestor.”

“Approved.”

The stone statue seemed to look down on the prophet’s strength. It only glanced at him and agreed casually.

However, the other stone statue suddenly raised its claw and pointed at Qin Xiao and the others.

“They’re not from the Oak Clan!”

Qin Xiao was furious and was about to destroy the stone statue when he heard the prophet hurriedly say, “Sir, please wait.”

After saying that, he came in front of the two stone statues and slowly chanted a complicated and obscure incantation.

This was an incantation that had been passed down for thousands of years. It only had the function of opening the door to the ancestral land.

But it took thousands of years to use it in this generation.

The two stone statues suddenly lost their light and slowly lowered their heads, turning into real stones.

A line of words appeared in Qin Xiao’s eyes.

Oak Ancestral Land Guardian Stone Statues (Slumbering…)

Amidst the rumbling sounds, the door behind the stone statues slowly opened like a lion inviting people in.

“My lord, we can enter now.”

Qin Xiao nodded and led his elite troops into the Ancestral Land where the Oak Clan was rumored to have buried treasures.

It was clearly in a cave, but the entire ancestral land did not seem dark at all.

There was a special glowing formation in the cave, making one feel as if they were in a heavenly passage.

Qin Xiao felt very comfortable as soon as he entered. Abundant demonic energy rushed into his body through his pores.

In the middle of the cave was a huge pitch-black energy ball. Around it were snow lotuses, and those snow lotuses also wrapped several pitch-black energy balls of different sizes.

“What are those?”

Qin Xiao asked the prophet.

“Lord, I don’t know either.”

Qin Xiao activated the True Vision and saw the black energy balls.

He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t seen it, but he was shocked when he saw it.

Even Qin Xiao did not expect this thing to be so extraordinary.

This was the real treasure!

Gold coin was nothing!

Demon Essence—a precious material condensed from the body of a high-level demon. It is a pure energy that everyone covets. After consuming, it can increase one’s demonic energy by a large amount. It can also be injected into Demon Crystals to increase one’s demon level.

“Good stuff! This is really good stuff!”

Qin Xiao could not be blamed for losing his composure. No demon could control himself in front of so much Demon Essence.

“Guys, take these back for me. This time, I want to feed the Demon Crystal to its fullest!”

With that, Qin Xiao reached out to touch the largest piece of Demon Essence.

As soon as his fingertip touched it, Qin Xiao heard a loud roar from behind him.

“Stop!”

He turned around and saw the two stone statues guarding the door walk in.

“Outsiders, if you want to get your hands on the treasures of the ancestral land, you will only end up dead!”

It was no wonder that the Oak Clan couldn’t bring the Demon Essence back even though they had the incantation. It turned out that there was another layer of insurance.

As long as they touched the Demon Essence, the two stone statues would be activated again.

“Outsiders, die!”

With that, the stone statues were about to attack Qin Xiao.

“Wait!”

The prophet stood in front of the stone statue.

“Guards, he is the benefactor of the Oak Clan and the current lord of the Oak Clan.”

“What!”

“Has our Oak Clan declined to this extent? You actually acknowledged a foreigner as your master!”

The two stone statues were shocked and furious, as if they had heard something unreasonable.

“Kill him! Take back Oak’s glory!”

“Take back the freedom that belongs to Oak!”

Clearly, the two stone statues had misunderstood something.

They treated Qin Xiao as a villain who had enslaved the Oak Clan and stolen their ancestral land’s secret treasure.

The prophet wanted to explain, but Qin Xiao stopped him.

He had a better idea.

Qin Xiao opened his mouth.

“Even if you kill me here, you won’t be able to save the Oak Clan. Why don’t we have a bet?”

“I’ll fight you two. If you win, I’ll give all my treasures to the Oak Clan. At the same time, I’ll voluntarily become a slave of the Oak Clan and let them do whatever they want.”

“But if the two of you lose, follow me back to see the current situation of the Oak Clan. Join me and guard the remaining bloodline of the Oak Clan.”

“How’s that?”

The two stone statues looked at each other as if they were communicating silently.

A moment later, the statue on the right spoke.

“Okay, we agree to your proposal.”

Then, the two stone statues trembled. Magic power seeped out of their bodies and fell into Qin Xiao’s body like a star.

Game Notification: You are bound by a mysterious power. Everything you said just now will become an oath under the system’s supervision.

“Alright, let’s begin.”

Everyone stepped back, leaving space for the stone statues and Qin Xiao to fight.

The two statues charged at Qin Xiao one after the other, while the one behind was chanting an incantation.

The huge stone axe smashed towards Qin Xiao, who raised his hands covered in dragon scales to resist.

You have received physical damage: 0

Qin Xiao was forced back by the tremendous force. However, due to the absorption of damage and his high constitution, he was not injured.

“What a high Strength attribute.”

The stone statue followed up. Qin Xiao threw a punch to the stone statue’s abdomen.

Qin Xiao’s expression changed. The stone statue’s constitution was probably not low either.

As expected, the stone statue only took a few steps back and was not injured at all.

“Millennial Frost!”

At this moment, the chanting of the stone statue behind him ended.

Countless icicles rained down on Qin Xiao.

You have received magic damage: 0

Qin Xiao only felt a little cold thanks to Magic Immunity.

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
