Chapter 2341: Goosebumps
Zu An had thought that the storeroom would have a mountain of treasure, that there would be endless ki stones and all kinds of medicine. After all, this was the Monster Lord’s most precious storeroom. But the scene before his eyes was a bleak sight. Several wardrobes and racks were all there, but the shelves were empty. There were only a few trifling items left in the corners.
Everyone present felt a sense of absurdity looking at the place. It was as if even a mouse that was locked up here would starve to death.
Even though Zu An had known beforehand that the entire Monster World was trapped in this underground city and that they were short on all sorts of supplies, he hadn't thought it would already be this serious. But he quickly focused his attention and said, “Let's move on our own. Take all the books related to formations, medicine, and techniques. There’s no need to think about making copies anymore.”
His plan at first had been to sneak in and out without anyone knowing and copy the related texts. But he had already alerted the Monster Lord and definitely didn’t have much time left. As such, he decided they might as well just take these things.
The women also knew that time was important, so they all scattered to look for things to take. Even the injured Jiang Luofu was holding on and trying to help. Xie Daoyun rushed to the formation section, while Ji Xiaoxi went to check the medicine manuals. The others searched other parts of the storeroom.
Zu An went to the techniques section. He wanted to take the chance to take a look at the Monster World’s cultivation methods. It would be even better if he found out things about the Monster Lord’s own skills.
Compared to the goods section by the entrance, the techniques section was more abundant. Jade strips lined the racks and shone with all kinds of different colors, signifying different elements.
Zu An quickly read through some jade strips. With his current cultivation and knowledge, he could roughly tell what the skills were about from a single glance. However, a disappointed look quickly appeared on his face. Even though there were powerful skills among these techniques, they couldn't compare to the ones he currently had.
More importantly, these jade strips were skills that were more suitable for monsters to cultivate, and mostly synergized well with certain types of bloodline power and unique body structures. If humans from the Cultivation World tried to learn them, it could lead to cultivation deviation and death. Zu An sighed in disappointment. He could only give up on these skills and search for other things.
