"Boss Ye Chen, you're awesome."
"One move to finish that damn thing."
"When I first saw that thing, my soul was trembling. Such a terrifying person was actually swallowed by Big Boss' mutated beast. Awesome."
"Yes, is this a Divine Beast? Love, love."
After Ye Chen put away the Kun Peng, those people who were standing not far away all came over to clap their farts.
Ye Chen did not explain much to them. There was no need for so many people to know about the conversation just now.
The difficulty level of the Black Mark was so high that even the golden finger gave a sign that it was extremely difficult to deal with. If not for the fact that the Kun Peng or the Immortal Phoenix had the means to restrain him, it would have been a fierce battle.
"It's a small matter. This fellow was just trying to coax me. He did not have much combat strength."
Upon hearing this, the rest of the people looked like they wanted to see if he believed them or not. Ye Chen did not say much to them and looked around.
"We've taken care of the people. Let's go see what else is in this city."
"I don't think there's any danger here anymore."
"Let's split up. When the time comes, you can collect your own opportunities. If you're willing to sell them, I'll buy them."
After conversing with Black Rune, he already knew the biggest secret of this city. With his golden finger in hand, would he still be afraid of not finding anything?
As long as it existed, it would definitely fall into his hands.
Ye Chen was assured to let the others search by themselves because there had been no one here for more than 100,000 years.
Even if there was something, it would have lost a lot of Spiritual Energy and wouldn't have much value.
If there was really something good, he would buy it himself. As for whether others were willing, he could only let them experience the dangers of society.
"Really? Thank you, Boss Ye Chen. If I really find something, you must choose it first."
"He's right. It's all thanks to Big Boss Ye Chen that we could come here. We don't dare to take it all for ourselves."
"Boss Ye Chen, we'll be leaving first. I wish everyone good luck."
"..."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, these people could not believe their ears at all.
Then, they all praised Ye Chen and left faster than anyone else.
"Ha."
Ye Chen was well aware of this.
Every man for himself. Heaven forbid. Everywhere.
Ancient City
[Abandoned for more than 100,000 years, without any living beings.]
[Hidden Tip: At the altar in the center of the city]
"Haha."
Ye Chen used his gold finger to observe where he could find the items.
He realized that Goldfinger's answer was becoming more and more concise. It seemed like a good answer but why did it feel like it was more of a robber than himself?
'But I like it.'
With the hint, Ye Chen did not waste any time and walked straight to the center of the city. The buildings in the city looked like the construction of cities in ancient times. The center of the city was also easy to find. He followed the main road at the gate and walked straight forward.
...
"Could the good stuff be on these stone tablets?"
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the center of the city. There was a huge empty space. Other than some huge stone monuments, there was only the bare altar in the middle of the square.
The stone tablet was filled with runes, as if it recorded some important deeds.
Soon, Ye Chen's gaze landed on the altar. He realized that there were also lines of varying depth drawn on the altar. He could not understand them at all.
"Hehe, I don't understand. There's something I can understand."
Ye Chen immediately focused his attention on a certain stone tablet.
[Wasteland Remembrance Monument]
[There is no value in recording the major events that happened in this city.]

...
Ye Chen looked at every stone tablet. They were all worthless, just as he thought.
"Then there's only this altar!"
[Ancient Altar]
[Sacrifice, prayer, teleportation, storage of alternate spaces]
[Hidden prompt: Using the Blood Essence of various grades of wild beasts, obtain the Blessing of Famine]
[Hidden hint: To pray to the entire Grand Desolate Plateau on a major occasion.]
[Hidden prompt message: Use the core of an S-Rank Demon Beast to teleport, location unknown]
[Hidden prompt: Sacrifice two extreme items to open the alternate dimension]
"Yeah?"
"How can an altar have so many uses?"
Looking at the description of the golden words, Ye Chen was a little stunned. Could it be that the ancestors of the vast wilderness had already grasped such advanced technology more than 100,000 years ago?
Sacrificing, praying and teleporting these things were too far away from him. He didn't think about it at first. The storage of alternate spaces required two extreme things, which was a little tricky.
"Let's try it first."
After a long while, Ye Chen finally remembered that he still had some extra materials to build a tribe.
"I wonder if these two things are extreme."
Ye Chen took out the Water Spirit Stone and Fire Spirit Stone and placed them in the two grooves on the altar.
In the blink of an eye, the Water Spirit Stone and the Fire Spirit Stone turned into ashes.
"I guess those two things don't work…"
Ye Chen touched his chin. He only had these two relatively extreme things on him.
He really couldn't think of anything else. Was he going to give up just like that?
He felt indignant.
Then, he also stared at the grooves on the altar, trying to see if the golden finger could find anything to replace it.
[Ancient Altar]
[Setting up two opposing extreme items is triggered immediately]
[Hidden prompt: Immortal Phoenix's Blood and Kun Peng's Blood]
"Right!"
The Immortal Phoenix's attributes were extremely Yang, while the Kun Peng was a contradiction. It had extreme Yin and extreme Yang on its body. When the Kun Peng swallowed the Black Mark, it was in the form of a big fish.
"Sun God Envoy, be straightforward. Don't make me attack."
The two were telepathically connected. When Ye Chen knew how to open the altar, the Immortal Phoenix flew away instantly.
It was obvious that this fellow was unwilling. It had no choice but to lower its head.
Under Ye Chen's threatening gaze, the Immortal Phoenix reluctantly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"That's more like it…"
Subsequently, Ye Chen released the advancing Kun Peng. This time, he hesitated.
If it was in his normal state, he would have just asked it to bleed. However, the Kun Peng was in its advanced state.
Ye Chen did not know if taking its blood would indirectly affect it.
If he could choose, Ye Chen would rather leave this opportunity to the last. The Kun Peng's advancement was the most important thing at the moment and he could not take any risks.
"Eh…"
Just as Ye Chen was in a dilemma, he saw a ball of black-red blood appear in front of Kun Peng.
"Will this affect you?"
"Ugh…" The Kun Peng let out a dull hum.
"Alright, you may continue."
After receiving Kun Peng's affirmation, Ye Chen did not hesitate anymore. The two balls of blood in his hands landed on two grooves on the altar.
