Chapter 469: I may not use it, but I can’t help but take it

After happily collecting all the materials, Liang Yu finally began to survey the surrounding environment.

Upon closer inspection, this underground secret chamber was indeed quite large.

Besides the boxes, many old objects were placed around, which Liang Yu thought looked like bone artifacts, those bone artifacts flickered with a faint, eerie glow, appearing exceptionally mysterious in the dim secret chamber.

Liang Yu cautiously walked forward, each step filled with vigilance.

Those things looked very problematic, especially their color; Liang Yu even felt that if he touched them, he might get cursed.

Considering these were also materials they wanted, Liang Yu still remotely collected all the bone artifact materials into his backpack.

Just as he was about to look at other areas.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sound, like the whirring of some machinery.

Following the direction of the sound, he discovered a tightly shut door, this heavy and ancient-looking door was slowly opening inward.

Watching the door being opened, Liang Yu realized that the Black-robed Men must have arrived, but their timing seemed not ideal.

Liang Yu had just started to collect the items they transported, and many were still uncollected.

At this moment, the door slowly opened wide, and Liang Yu felt a chill permeate the air.

Once the door was fully open, Liang Yu first saw cargo trailers, but these vehicles were not pulled by horses; instead, they were pulled by skeletons.

These were skeletons formed after a person’s death, connected by black mist all over their bodies, and from their empty eye sockets, black light flickered in their minds.

Beside the trailer, the leading Black-robed Man was tall and walked with steady steps; his eyes gleamed with a strange light in the darkness, scanning the room.

The other Black-robed Men fanned out, cautiously advancing on one side.

At this moment, Liang Yu hid in the shadows, closely observing every move of these Black-robed Men.

He felt that the matter of the boxes should not be easily exposed, but he had just collected so many strange bone artifacts, so the other party might discover it.

Fortunately, this group of Black-robed Men did not come to Liang Yu’s side, and it seemed that the disappearance of those strange bone artifacts would not be discovered so quickly for now; watching them walk deeper into the dim passage with their trailers and supplies, their figures gradually disappeared.

Liang Yu was now pondering whether he should follow them.

After all, this was a very difficult choice for him.

Following them would mean giving up the time to scavenge here.

It wasn’t that Liang Yu looked down on the things nearby; he just didn’t recognize them, and he wasn’t stupid.

As long as he took the items, whether for personal use or to sell them in West Sand City later, it would definitely be a huge fortune.

What he was struggling with was whether there would be more valuable items in the Black-robed Men’s carts.

While he was deliberating, the other party had already gone far; seeing this, Liang Yu couldn’t sit still, only children make choices, he was an adult, so he wanted both.

Disregarding the risk of exposure, he took out five Marios from his backpack, telling them to quickly collect the items on the spot, while he himself hurried to catch up with the distant Black-robed Men.

Along the way, Liang Yu looked at the piled-up items, adhering to his three-pronged policy, how could he let go of these good things by the roadside, he took them all without exception.

As for what they were for or how to use them, don’t worry about it; he might not know how to use them, but he couldn’t not take them.

Along the two to three hundred meters, it could be said that Liang Yu left absolutely nothing behind in his wake.

Not long after, he arrived at the destination, which was also the objective of this group of Black-robed Men.

Liang Yu stood still, his gaze fixed on the thirty-six white jade pillars not far ahead.

They were like giant ice shards descended from the sky, emitting a soft and mysterious glow in the dim environment, with strange patterns vaguely flowing on their surfaces, as if narrating their secrets.

Those Black-robed Men moved like ghosts between the trailers and the white jade pillars, their movements neat and swift.

Liang Yu noticed that the items they unloaded from the trailers varied in shape; some were completely covered by black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside, while others revealed a corner, flashing with the cold gleam of metal.

Curiosity drove Liang Yu to quietly approach.

Liang Yu was currently in an invisible state, and he approached very casually, not quite believing that anyone could detect his invisibility.

When he was still about ten meters away from the Black-robed Men, suddenly, one Black-robed Man seemed to sense something amiss and sharply turned his head.

At this moment, Liang Yu’s heart instantly leaped to his throat; he held his breath, standing motionless, staring at the Black-robed Man who had turned around, wondering if he had really been discovered.

The Black-robed Man cautiously scanned the area, found no one else besides themselves, and then looked at his companion beside him.

“Did the materials over there get missed?”

“Hurry up and put the materials away, don’t delay the important matter.”

The Black-robed Man who was called out first froze, then turned to look at what the other party was pointing at, which was not far from Liang Yu, so it was obvious what was going on.

It must have been that Liang Yu casually stuffed it into his backpack, which is why the missing material was discovered.

This Black-robed Man was also a bit puzzled; he remembered that he had just placed it there not long ago, so how could the material be missing?

Despite his confusion, he didn’t think much of it; everyone here was on their side, so it was impossible for anyone to cause trouble, maybe he just remembered it wrong.

He probably just remembered it wrong, and there were no materials placed there at all.

So, after replacing the missing material, this Black-robed Man turned around and continued to be busy.

Liang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he hadn’t been discovered, so he moved a little closer and continued to observe what these Black-robed Men were doing.

As Liang Yu observed, he found that the Black-robed Men were placing the unloaded items one by one within a large circle formed by the white jade pillars, and many items were even placed outside the circle.

Liang Yu was observing intently when suddenly, one of the white jade pillars began to flash with dazzling light, the light growing brighter and brighter, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

When the light subsided a little, he was surprised to find that a phantom figure had appeared in front of the white jade pillar.

Although the figure’s face was unclear, it gave Liang Yu an extremely strong sense of oppression, and his intuition told him that this figure had the ability to kill him.

This caused Liang Yu to not dare to act rashly, only able to stand still in place.

In contrast, those Black-robed Men who were originally busy had all stopped moving, and all of them showed fanatical expressions.

At the same time, they knelt and bowed to the shadowy figure that had appeared.
