Swamp Country

Lu Benwei let out a sigh and said indifferently, “Your brother might be on one of the underground floors of this palace. I’ll try my best to find him. As for rescuing him, it will be entirely up to you.”

As they spoke, many people from the Yang family barged into the palace. Without exception, they all looked miserable. Many of them were injured and in danger.

“Brother Zhang, do you have a medical kit with you?”

An elder of the Yang family begged.

The second head of the Zhang family saw that the Yang family was pitiful, and many of them had died under the demonic blade.

He felt pity for the Yang family and asked Zhang Kangle and Zhang Kangya to take out their medical kits to help the Yang family’s injured.

Not long after, the Ji family, the Liu family, and the Guan family’s investigation team also walked out of the maze and rushed into the hall.

Like the Yang family, the two families also lost many people.

Pei Jie almost died outside.

“What should we do now? Should I put that demonic blade back to its original position?” Chu Yan asked softly.

“Yes.” Lu Benwei nodded.

“However, there’s no hurry now. If we snatch that demonic blade back now, we’ll become the target of public criticism again. We’ll explore the palace now and find Wu Lu’s whereabouts at the same time.”

“I’ll listen to you!” Chu Yan shook her head and said.

At this moment, someone from the Liu family opened a door and exclaimed, “Damn, so much gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, and jade. We’re going to be rich!”

When everyone heard this, the haze on their faces was instantly swept away. Then, they did not care about their injuries and the demonic blade that could kill people outside. They squeezed in one after another.

The Ma family also heard the news and rushed over to see that Lu Benwei was still here. Each of them tucked their tails between their legs and lost their previous arrogance.

“What do you want?”

“This was discovered by my Liu family first!” the Liu family members shouted, not giving them a chance to look inside.

“I know, I know. It won’t hurt to take a look.” The Yang family members curled their lips.

“Elder Sun is here. Let Elder Sun take a look first! It’s also convenient for your Liu family.” Elder Sun was an alchemist master of the government. He had a pair of discerning eyes. Other than appreciating medicinal herbs, he also had some insights into antiques. He had a high status in Rodu and was highly respected. The six families had to give him some face.

“Thank you.” Elder Sun chuckled and entered the room.

After saying that, Lu Benwei squeezed forward.

This was a room of medium size. The surrounding walls were made of a material called red sand, which was turned into mud and painted as decoration.

“It looks like the boudoir of a concubine,” Elder Sun said as he opened his eyes.

“A concubine living in a house that is so cold?” Someone in the crowd sneered.

Old Sun glanced at that person disdainfully. “What if the master of this palace has many concubines?”

Everyone was stunned. Someone asked, “Elder Sun, how can you be sure that the owner of this room is a concubine?”

Elder Sun pointed at a painting that was unfolded. It was a portrait of a beautiful woman. She was graceful and elegant, and her temperament was refined.

“According to the poem in the painting, this woman’s surname is Su and she’s a noble concubine.”

“I see.” Everyone nodded.

“Elder Sun, which dynasty does that palace come from?” Lu Benwei asked.

“Why is it this kid again?” Everyone curled their lips in disdain and criticized Lu Benwei.

Elder Sun was quite surprised by Lu Benwei’s question. He was stunned and said, “There’s too little information in this room, I can’t make a judgment for now. However, according to the craftsmanship of these antiques, it should be 800 years before the Calamity Year.”

“That was the Warring States Period of the ancient Dragon Kingdom. The warlords were divided and there were endless disputes!”

“2,800 years ago, that’s so long ago,” Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and said silently.

Old Sun’s sharp ears heard Lu Benwei’s murmurs.

“Hmph!” He snorted coldly. “Kid, the ancient Dragon Kingdom has existed for a long time. The most distant dynasty is at least five thousand years old.”

“Two thousand and eight hundred years, but the world has changed.”

Then, he slowly walked out of the room and looked around the palace. “There are so many rooms here and there are so many gods in that room!”

When everyone heard this, they immediately went crazy and seized the room. The heads of the five families stood up to preside over the rules. “Whoever enters the house first will own it!”

Very soon, a disciple of the Ji family sent a piece of good news. “Family head, I found two Night-Luminescent Pearls. They’re bigger than your head!”

The Ji family was overjoyed.

The luminous pearl absorbed the moonlight. Other than emitting a gentle beam of light at night, it was also a precious material for making potions. It was extremely expensive!

Not long after, Zhang Kangle ran over and took out a wooden box. When he opened it, a strange fragrance immediately spread out.

“This, this is ambergris?”

According to legend, ambergris was the essence of the sea. It was extremely fragrant and could be used to make many medicinal herbs that could make women stay young forever.

Unfortunately, ambergris could only be found in the sea. Since the construction of the Great Wall, few people had collected ambergris along the coastline.

Ten years ago, a piece of ambergris was auctioned in Dragon City. It was only the size of a finger, but it was sold for a sky-high price of one billion gold coins.

The piece that Zhang Kangle found was the size of a palm. The other families were very envious.

However, very soon, other families also sent news of success. Someone had discovered a divine material that could cleanse the soul. It would be of great use for advancing from level 80 to level 90 in the future!

As soon as this news came out, everyone once again realized how extraordinary this palace was.

Lu Benwei followed behind Old Sun, trying to get some useful information.

“Wait!”

Finally, Elder Sun stopped in front of a mural.

“This, this is the Ze Kingdom?”

Lu Benwei was surprised and quickly asked, “Senior, is there anything wrong with the Ze Kingdom?”

“Something’s wrong, something’s extremely wrong!” Elder Sun’s lips were trembling.

Lu Benwei did not know the ancient text, so he could only learn some information from the appearance of the murals.

On the mural was a piece of a “fragmented” continent, formed by “islands”. Countless ancient villages and cities were drawn on it. Even the appearance of some ancient ancestors and the ancient costumes on their bodies were clearly visible.

They lived by the sea, went out t o sea to fish, worked at sunrise, and rested at sunset.

They came from the same country and communicated through the bridge that crossed the sea.

“At that time, people can build bridges across the ocean?” Lu Benwei was surprised, and his eyes were filled with shock.

“That’s not an ocean, but a great swamp!” action

Elder Sun’s words made Lu Benwei’s pupils shrink rapidly.
