Fourty-eight million...?
Sun Miaomiao and the other two couldn't help but look at Xiahou Aotian, who was weeping, and suddenly understood his sorrow.
Although Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang were the second generation of Extraordinary beings and enjoyed extremely high resources in the Taiyi Sect, 48 million materials was nothing. But in terms of cash, the two of them couldn't easily come up with so much money. After all, most of the items needed in the Extraordinary stage wouldn't exceed ten million.
Fourty-eight million could buy two ordinary quality Saint-level items—although they might be priceless and not necessarily available.
But to casually throw out 48 million, even they couldn't be so extravagant.
"Enough, keep the remaining shells for later use," Zhang Yuanqing stopped Xiahou Aotian's shooting.
At this time, there were less than thirty terracotta soldiers left, exhibiting a posture of lone bravery, charging towards the group fearlessly. Behind them was a mess of soil clods and shattered sand, a scene of devastation.
Zhang Yuanqing left Yin Yao Junzhu to protect Xiahou Aotian, leading Qianxia Guihuo, Sun Miaomiao, and Zhao Chenghuang to meet the terracotta soldiers. They easily eliminated this remnant force. "So strong, the power and speed of these terracotta soldiers are at level 4," Sun Miaomiao held a military dagger in one hand and a large-caliber pistol in the other. This was a standard Star Official item combination; the pistol was used with the Star Shuttle technique, and the military dagger was used for Night Wanderer attacks. Qianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang's gazes fell on Zhang Yuanqing's Thunder Drum Purple Gold Hammer.
You're dealing with different issues that aren't as simple as that. We are consciously taking precautions, and they have very good props.
Telephone.
It took quite a bit of effort to shatter a terracotta soldier. "A top-notch item specially designed for armor-piercing," Zhang Yuanqing casually explained.
Xiahou Aotian abandoned Yin Yao Junzhu and the large cannon, hurrying over and squatting beside a pile of shattered terracotta soldiers, scrutinizing them, "These materials should be from Earth Controller professions, so the terracotta soldiers are incredibly strong. I've been watching for a while, and I've discovered that these terracotta soldiers aren't driven by implanted souls. What's the core that drives them to fight? There must be a main control unit operating these terracotta soldiers. If I could learn this technology, I could create terracotta soldiers and conquer the world." However, no one cared about the academic aspect.
"So, did the First Emperor create the terracotta soldiers to dominate the world again after his resurrection?" Zhang Yuanqing, who loved history, asked enthusiastically. "Obviously not," Qianxia Guihuo said, "Is it possible that the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms using these terracotta soldiers?" Xiahou Aotian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, that's more logical. Zhang Yuanqing is an idiot." Zhao Chenghuang said coldly, "Don't waste time."
Immediately, the group left behind the shattered terracotta soldiers and proceeded towards the white jade platform, stopping before the steps.
Qing spoke rapidly.
The team members nodded solemnly, taking out defensive items and putting them on. Zhao Chenghuang took out a puppet storage box, and the heavy, half-person-high bronze box landed with a thud. The puppet storage box was the perfect weapon against the terracotta soldiers.
This item was a replica of the Leader-level item, "Puppet Storage Box." Its material was genuine Saint-level quality, but it lacked the core Puppeteer characteristics, so its main function was "storage."
During the arena competition, Zhao Chenghuang used his spirit servant abilities to mimic the Puppeteer's puppet control technique, using it skillfully.
But the Puppet Storage Box was, after all, a replica. The "storage" ability was limited to the puppets inside the box, and the terracotta soldiers on the steps were strong and possessed self-awareness, so they certainly wouldn't obediently come into the box.
Therefore, they needed to be shattered first and then put inside. "Qin Tai, do it!" Zhang Yuanqing said loudly.
Sun Miaomiao took wide steps, raised her pistol, and with two bangs, the bullets engraved with "Spirit Breaking Runes" accurately hit the nearest two terracotta soldiers, exploding with a faint golden flame and fine black sand. Before the splashed black sand could land, it returned to the terracotta soldiers' foreheads as if attracted by a magnet.
"They actually heal! What is this material?!" Xiahou Aotian exclaimed in surprise and excitement. The terracotta soldier on the left slowly turned its head, looking at the attacker, conveying a voice that only the Night Wanderer could hear: "Those who trespass in the First Emperor's palace shall die!"
With that, the two terracotta soldiers on the left and right suddenly leaped up, jumping towards Sun Miaomiao with a slash.
Flames surged in Qianxia Guihuo's palm, condensing into a fireball. He pulled back his stone arm, stepped forward with his left foot, and threw the fireball violently, hitting the chest of the terracotta soldier on the left side. With a bang, the terracotta soldier was blown away. In the rampant air currents and blazing fire, Qianxia Guihuo's body emerged. Fire Controller!
His eyes burned with anger, his body muscles swelled, and his crimson fist ignited with scorching flames, heavily smashing into the terracotta soldier's chest. In an instant, flames flashed, stone chips flew, and the terracotta soldier staggered backward, the black soil on its chest turning dark red and emitting high heat. In a state of rage, Qianxia Guihuo was about to press the attack when he suddenly saw the terracotta soldier forcibly steady its feet, wielding its bronze sword towards his neck. Before the Fire Demon's combo could begin, it was forcibly interrupted by the opponent's greater strength.
Qianxia Guihuo frowned, which meant that his best close-combat ability couldn't gain a decisive advantage. The bronze sword made a sharp whistling sound as it was wielded.
Qianxia Guihuo ducked, letting the blade graze his scalp. Just as he was about to flex his knee and撞into the opponent's chest, he suddenly saw the terracotta soldier's other hand, which had somehow already taken down a crossbow and aimed it at him. Bang! The sound of the bowstring was shrill.
The arrow shot out, and a yellow light flashed in front of Qianxia Guihuo, then shattered. The arrow pierced into his chest. He was shocked.
Zhang Yuanqing had said that the terracotta soldiers on the steps were well-equipped, and the crossbows were extremely powerful, but he never expected that even a Saint-level defensive item couldn't block an arrow.
At this moment, a hand rested on his shoulder, pulling him back abruptly. The tip of the sword grazed Qianxia Guihuo's throat.
Qianxia Guihuo staggered to a steady stance, turning his head to see that the one who had saved him was the stunningly beautiful corpse.
Yin Yao Junzhu released her hand, taking a sharp step forward and delivering a swift, beautiful high kick, her heel heavily striking the terracotta soldier's chin. With a Peng sound, half of the terracotta soldier's face shattered into black sand, splashing everywhere.
Seizing the opportunity, Qianxia Guihuo roared deeply, every pore leaking and spewing flames. His short hair was bathed in crimson light, each strand distinct. Berserker!
This time, he was truly angry.
With a flash of fire, Qianxia Guihuo slammed into the terracotta soldier, and with a crash, the hard clay body shattered into pieces. As soon as these fragments landed, they began to vibrate violently.
Seeing this, Qianxia Guihuo kicked a leg to the Yin corpse, while he picked up half of the body and ran towards Zhao Chenghuang, shouting, "Open the box!"
At this time, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, and Zhang Yuanqing had just finished off the other terracotta soldier and loaded it into the half-person-high bronze box.
Seeing Qianxia Guihuo and Yin Yao Junzhu running with the fragmented body, followed by a swarm of sand and soil, Zhang Yuanqing summoned the Eagle Swift Gauntlet and thrust both palms forward. "Whoosh~" A gust of wind rose, blowing away the black sand.
Sun Miaomiao used her precise marksmanship to shoot at the larger clods of earth, shattering them all.
Zhao Chenghuang kicked open the lid of the bronze box, and after Yin Yao Junzhu and Qianxia Guihuo stuffed half of the terracotta soldier's body inside, he quickly closed it.
The black sand and soil seemed to have lost their target, pausing blankly for a few seconds before vibrating again and quickly solidifying together, turning into an incomplete terracotta soldier with only one arm. The terracotta soldier's head was crooked on its remaining left shoulder, emitting angry mental waves: "Give me back my body, give me back my body..."
Innovative billing date. Zhang Yuanqing picked it up, about to stuff it into the storage box, when he heard
"Wait... leave it here for a moment, let me take a look and study it."
Saying that, fearing that Zhang Yuanqing would not agree, he took out a dagger from his item pocket and chiseled off a fingernail-sized piece of black soil from the hard terracotta soldier's body. The small piece of black soil vibrated violently in Xiahou Aotian's fingertips, but could not break free.
Xiahou Aotian put away the dagger, took out a monocle, and carefully examined the black soil, explaining, "This monocle can help me analyze its material..." Hearing this, the originally impatient group patiently waited. After more than ten seconds, Xiahou Aotian gasped. Sun Miaomiao hurriedly asked, "Have you figured out what it is? Why are you gasping?" Sun Miaomiao complained in her heart.
Xiahou Aotian released his hand, letting the small clod of earth return, and said in a deep voice, "The material's characteristics are firmness and magnetism, and it also possesses powerful vitality, so it can nurture souls. These terracotta soldiers will never be damaged, no matter how many times they are shattered, unless a Refiner melts them... Well, I initially suspect that they are made of the legendary Xirang..."
"Xirang?!" Zhao Chenghuang exclaimed, "The supreme material in the Earth Controller profession's legends?" Xiahou Aotian nodded,
"I suspect that when making the terracotta soldiers, a small amount of Xirang was mixed in, a very, very small amount. Using Xirang to refine terracotta soldiers is simply a waste of a treasure! The First Emperor must be a spendthrift!"
Everyone's minds flashed with this thought, and their gazes towards the numerous terracotta soldiers on the steps were filled with fervor and anticipation.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately grabbed the Mountain God Scepter, pressing the green gem at the top against Qianxia Guihuo's chest. A burst of gentle green light flashed, stopping the bleeding from Qianxia Guihuo's arrow wound, and then healing it. "Thank you!" He nodded to Zhang Yuanqing.
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to respond, he suddenly heard Sun Miaomiao beside him say in a strange tone, "Zhang Yuanqing, you, you're such a pervert, eee~"
The group first looked at Sun Miaomiao, then followed her gaze to Zhang Yuanqing's lower body. The tent was shockingly high.
"This is just the price of the item, it doesn't mean I have feelings for Qianxia Guihuo, don't wrong me." Zhang Yuanqing put away the Mountain God Scepter and said, "Oh, you seem to be particularly concerned about me, could it be that you saw the Magic Mirror's prophecy and want to have a child with me?"
Next, the five people and one corpse repeated the previous tactics, one by one putting the terracotta soldiers into the bronze box.
When the group climbed onto the memorial archway, Zhao Chenghuang was already beaming, because Zhang Yuanqing and the others had agreed that all the terracotta soldiers in the bronze box would belong to him. It was equivalent to distributing the spoils of war in advance.
If the harvest in the Hall of Eternal Life wasn't much, then Zhao Chenghuang would compensate everyone with enough harvest. He would need to share fewer items. They
Instead of selling it for money, it was better to do a favor.
Zhang Yuanqing calculated the time, thirteen minutes had passed from entering the underground palace until now.
It was so smooth with teammates, if it were just me alone, it would be impossible to clear so easily... He looked up at the copper mirror hanging on the crystal plaque on the archway. "This mirror is also an item, its function is very special, it can reveal evil spirits. I suggest not to move it first, wait until we solve the danger here before taking it, lest accidents happen." In an unknown, difficult dungeon, it was better to do less and make fewer mistakes.
Their proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, which was one of the advantages of having teammates, there would be no internal conflicts because of money... there would be no disagreements when opinions differed. The group climbed onto the white jade platform and saw the magnificent palace.
This was a single-story palace with a foundation about two meters high, a main hall six meters high, covered with golden tiles, and a building structure mainly made of bronze and wood. Two three-meter-high bronze terracotta soldiers stood at the entrance of the palace, wearing single-piece armor, one holding a bronze sword, and the other holding a spear. Xiahou Aotian kept shouting words like "upturned eaves and interlocking brackets," explaining the architectural features of the Qin Dynasty to the team members. But no one paid attention to him, everyone's eyes were focused on the two "guardian gods." Xiahou Aotian had to end his popular science and said,
"Defeating these two terracotta soldiers should mean that we can clear the hidden dungeon. The palace is where the First Emperor lived. Qin Dynasty laws were strict, so it's unlikely that guards would be stationed inside."
He immediately opened his Star Eyes and looked at the team members' faces.
Sun Miaomiao, Yin Yao Junzhu, and Qianxia Guihuo were covered in dark clouds with hidden blood, which meant that injuries were inevitable, and there might even be a life-threatening danger. Xiahou Aotian was covered in dark clouds, but there was no blood. Of course, he was a weak strategist and didn't need to charge into
the front line... When Zhang Yuanqing looked at Zhao Chenghuang again, his pupils shrank. Zhao Chenghuang's face showed a bloody disaster and a deadly calamity!
At this moment, the two giant terracotta soldiers standing outside the hall stiffly turned their heads. The terracotta soldier on the left, holding a bronze sword, conveyed a mental wave

Deterrence? Swordsman's Deterrence... A few seconds later, Zhang Yuanqing, who practiced the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record, was the first to recover. In his vision, the tall figure of the giant terracotta soldier appeared. He saw that it had already rushed in front of Zhao Chenghuang, fiercely slashing down. Zhao Chenghuang's body was cut in half, and the warm internal organs rolled all over the ground.
