Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 449 - 395: The Dog Barks With Its Master’s Power
After Chu Chen put away the two wooden boxes, he fell into deep thought. He could still exchange for two treasures, but he was about to become the Sixth Divine Son. Heavenly and earthly treasures wouldn’t be lacking for him in the future.
So this opportunity to exchange treasures was meaningless to him.
However, these four tokens could only be used by him personally.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. It was simply a waste.
Once he officially becomes the Sixth Divine Son, the heavenly and earthly treasures, star beast materials, cultivation techniques, and soul skills in the treasure vault would be at his disposal. However, about these peculiar items, whether they could be freely obtained, he had no idea.
But letting the exchange opportunity go to waste, he might as well choose two items. Anyway, he wouldn’t lose out. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Thinking of this, Chu Chen didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately walked towards the area of peculiar items.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man appeared outside the treasure vault, looked around, and then directly walked towards the Emperor Level elder.
"Elder Su, I am here under the order of the Fifth Divine Son to retrieve a treasure from the vault."
Upon hearing this, Elder Su frowned but still said in a deep voice, "Show me the token."
At this, the middle-aged man replied somewhat discontentedly, "Elder Su, there’s no need for this. Would I deceive you while working for the Divine Son?"
Elder Su replied coldly, "Zhou Yong, you should understand the rules. Although the Divine Son has privileges, he must still act within the boundaries of the rules."
Zhou Yong, feeling a bit impatient, remarked, "Alright, alright, here’s the token. You better take a good look." He then handed over the token to Elder Su.
After inspecting it, Elder Su returned the token to Zhou Yong.
"Can I enter now?" Zhou Yong, clearly impatient, asked as he put away the token.
"No, someone is inside the vault. You can only go in after he comes out," Elder Su replied curtly.
"How long do I have to wait? If this delays Lord Divine Son’s cultivation, can you bear the responsibility?"
"These are the rules. If you have any issues, feel free to consult with the higher-ups."
"You... Fine, let’s see who’s inside the vault." Saying this, Zhou Yong sat aside, waiting.
Meanwhile, Chu Chen had reached the peculiar items area. Despite searching for a while, he couldn’t find anything of value.
The peculiar items inside were indeed strange. Many didn’t even have names or uses labeled, appearing more like a pile of miscellaneous items.
As time passed, Chu Chen finally found a surprise in a wooden box.
He carefully opened the box, discovering a folded piece of animal hide inside.
Chu Chen picked up the hide and sensed it. It contained faint power of space.
Seeing this, Chu Chen was pleasantly surprised. He quickly unfolded the hide and found that its edge was very similar to the two hides he had. Coupled with the mountains and terrains depicted on it, he had a ninety percent certainty.
He dared not piece together the complete hides, lest the chosen treasures be taken out for Elder Su’s inspection, and the hides fused, revealing the treasure map to everyone.
After storing the treasure map, he continued his search for other peculiar items.
About half an hour later, Chu Chen found another satisfactory peculiar item.
It was a palm-sized broken horn, entirely white with lightning-like patterns, and the fracture was very smooth, as if it had been cut off.
This broken horn contained a fragment of space in which lurked extremely dense power of thunder.
Chu Chen tried injecting a sliver of soul power, discovering it could trigger the power of thunder within the horn.
The power of thunder inside the horn was incredibly fierce. Even triggering a sliver of it was comparable to a full attack from a Monarch Level guardian beast. If all the thunder power were triggered, it could at least match a fight with a late-stage Emperor Level expert.
Chu Chen wasn’t short of defensive treasures like soul armor, defense-type soul devices, and high-rank communication bracelets. However, his only offensive means was the "Soul Spike."
Encountering danger, "Soul Spike" was hard to be effective, while the appearance of the broken horn supplemented this weakness perfectly, easily serving as a trump card.
Checking the time, Chu Chen realized an hour and a half had passed. Having chosen his treasures, he didn’t want to waste more time here.
After gathering the four treasures, he headed towards the exit of the treasure vault.
At the vault’s entrance, Zhou Yong approached Elder Su again, staring at the metal door impatiently, "Elder Su, how much longer before that guy comes out?"
Elder Su initially didn’t want to respond, but since the other was a henchman of the Fifth Divine Son, he didn’d want to make an enemy out of him. He replied indifferently, "There is still half an hour according to the regulations. Please wait patiently. It’s his first time in the vault; the variety of treasures might be overwhelming."
Zhou Yong’s face darkened upon hearing this. He had just received promises from the Divine Son, and if this caused displeasure, he would lose out greatly.
"That damned kid, when he comes out, I won’t spare him."
At that moment, the metal door slowly opened and a young man came out of the vault, carrying four wooden boxes.
"Bring the treasures you’ve chosen for registration," Elder Su quickly said upon seeing this.
Without delay, Chu Chen handed over the treasures.
Zhou Yong also came over, scrutinizing Chu Chen with astonishment, obviously shocked by Chu Chen’s age.
However, the surprise quickly vanished, for in the presence of the Divine Son, other geniuses were mere foils.
"Looks like the current generation of the academies is only getting worse. Such a young brat winning the interaction competition’s championship is laughable," Zhou Yong mocked.
At his words, the crowd turned grim. That statement offended all in the academies.
But Zhou Yong didn’t care, as a person of the Divine Son, unless offending the higher-ups of the Alliance, no one dared cross him.
Chu Chen glanced at him without saying anything. Being new to the Alliance and knowing nothing, he chose to avoid trouble. Offending some big shots could bring unwanted trouble.
Seeing everyone’s silence, Zhou Yong grew more complacent.
"Hmph, just a bunch of trash wasting my time," he sneered and walked towards the vault.
Meanwhile, the staff responsible for recording treasures continued undisturbed, tirelessly working to ensure accuracy. Each time they recorded a treasure, they double-checked with a colleague, fearing any mistake. Treasures in the vault were exceptionally precious, and errors could not be afforded.
"A damaged treasure map, a Water-Fire Primordial Flower, a Space Crystal..." he listed.
Zhou Yong suddenly froze upon hearing the list. He quickly moved to the staff and sternly asked, "What did you just say?"
The staff glanced at Elder Su before replying, "Space Crystal."
Zhou Yong then turned to Chu Chen, coldly stating, "I’ll take that Space Crystal of yours. Go choose another treasure."
Chu Chen’s expression immediately cooled, quickly approaching the staff and asking sternly, "Is everything recorded?"
On instinct, the staff nodded.
Seeing this, Chu Chen waved his hand, retrieving the four treasures back into his Spatial Ring.
Enraged, Zhou Yong blocked Chu Chen’s way, threatening coldly, "Kid, hand over the Space Crystal. Otherwise, angering Lord Divine Son will bring you consequences you can’t bear."
Ignored, Chu Chen turned to Elder Su, "Elder Su, these four treasures are mine now, aren’t they?"
Elder Su nodded, "Naturally."
Chu Chen then addressed Zhou Yong, "You heard it. The Space Crystal is mine. You’re going to forcefully take it?"
