Qin Chen is not the kind of person who would watch someone die without helping, but he is also not the type of good-hearted person who would put himself in danger to save others. This is something he must make Wu Gongling understand.
Wu Gongling hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at Qin Chen, he gritted his teeth and said with determination, “Qin Young Hero, I want to follow you.”
Entering the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm is fraught with danger, and now that Qin Chen has said he will help him as much as he can, if he doesn't even dare to take this risk, then what is the point of coming to this Heavenly Demon Secret Realm?
“Alright, then let's go.”
Qin Chen ignored Wu Gongling and flew directly ahead.
The whole palace is like a maze; after walking for a while, they hadn't encountered a single person. Just the two of them wandering around, and they could no longer remember the way back.
On both sides of these passages and corridors, there often appeared secret rooms. In these secret rooms, apart from corpses, there was nothing else. Some secret rooms even contained more than one corpse, and all the storage rings on these corpses were missing.
Qin Chen knew without thinking that these corpses must belong to people who had entered the ruined palace before.
“It seems there are quite a few good things here.” Qin Chen was not scared at all; instead, he felt somewhat excited.
If there were no good items, these martial artists would definitely not kill each other, and it wouldn't be so brutal.
“It's a pity that this maze is too big, and I don't know where Meng Zhanyuan and the others have gone. If we keep wandering like this, it will be very difficult to find treasures. If only we knew where the treasures are!” Wu Gongling sighed.
“Know where the treasures are?”
Qin Chen was taken aback, but then he became excited, realizing he'd completely forgotten about this.
With a thought, a black gourd appeared in his hand. A hazy black light flashed across the gourd, and a Seeking Spirit Insect flew out from the gourd's opening.
Initially, Qin Chen was worried that the Seeking Spirit Insect would be uncomfortable in this strange true qi environment, but as soon as it came out, he felt the insect become incredibly excited.
At the same time, the Qi-eating Ants and Fire Refining Worms inside the black gourd also seemed restless, as if they wanted to come out from the gourd.
Of course, Qin Chen wouldn't allow so many Qi-eating Ants and Fire Refining Worms to appear in this passage, but he still unsealed the black gourd to let it contact the outside world.
Immediately, a dense and strange true qi was absorbed into the black gourd, and the Qi-eating Ants and Fire Refining Worms inside were crazily absorbing the strange true qi in the palace, as if this true qi was a great supplement for them.
In fact, this strange true qi was indeed a great supplement for the Qi-eating Ants and Fire Refining Worms. Qin Chen could even feel that after absorbing a large amount of strange true qi, the aura of the Qi-eating Ants and Fire Refining Worms was visibly increasing.
This was an unexpected surprise.
After being released, the Seeking Spirit Insect also appeared very excited and quickly flew past Qin Chen's eyes, disappearing from view.
With the Seeking Spirit Insect leading the way, Qin Chen no longer wandered around aimlessly as before. In just a short time, he found a secret room that hadn't been opened yet. Although there were only a few sixth-tier spiritual herbs and a magic crystal inside, it indicated that letting the Seeking Spirit Insect out was clearly the right move.
Thus, under the guidance of the Seeking Spirit Insect, Qin Chen found some undiscovered secret rooms, obtaining a total of seven magic crystals, over ten sixth-tier spiritual herbs, and one seventh-tier spiritual herb.
Two hours later, the Seeking Spirit Insect suddenly became excited, relaying a strong message to Qin Chen before quickly flying down a passage.
Without a moment's hesitation, Qin Chen hurriedly followed after Wu Gongling.
