Chen Zao spoke with great confidence. He couldn't believe that these Apocalyptic People, who were living in such dire conditions, would not be tempted by real delicacies!
As the saying goes, food is the foundation of the people; no one would refuse good food, even in the harshest environments!
He was determined to use his culinary skills to snatch all the antiques from Ren Sanjie!
Ren Xiao was stirred by Chen Zao's words.
Although at this time, her Third Sister had already had dinner and probably wasn't in the mood for more delicacies, she firmly believed that Chef Chen's food would still whet her Third Sister's appetite!
Without wasting any time, Ren Xiao took Chen Zao straight to the Divine Bow Corps' War Strategist Office at Linglong Cliff.
Ren Ling resided at Linglong Cliff during peaceful months, helping Ren Long manage the territory granted to him by Ren Changdong. She rarely returned to the Ren Family Fortress.
On the way, Chen Zao and Ren Xiao inquired about the situation regarding the theft of Qianling.
In fact, Qianling was not very far from Panlong Stronghold, only a little over a hundred kilometers in a straight line.
More than fifty years ago, taking advantage of its underground palace, Qianling became a solid fortress known as Tang Shibaling. It turned into a stronghold for survivors and was historically referred to as Guanzhong Base.
At its peak, Guanzhong Base was much larger than Panlong Stronghold, guarded by a well-trained legion of nearly 10,000 soldiers and housing millions of Survivors.
Once transformed into an underground castle, it was extremely difficult for the Deep Sea Army to conquer it. At that time, Guanzhong Base represented the most formidable human defense line within hundreds of kilometers.
Unfortunately, even the strongest defenses can fall due to small cracks.
The underground base that the Deep Sea Army could not breach was ultimately destroyed by infighting among humans.
Due to the astonishing treasures hidden within Qianling, greed among the leaders of Guanzhong led to severe internal conflicts over these riches.
Survivors from nearby bases also coveted the Qianling Treasure and united to launch a plundering war against Guanzhong Base.
At that time, Panlong Stronghold had not yet gained prominence; it was merely a small Survivor Base centered around Panlong Mountain.
Its leader is not the well-known "Coiling Dragon Giant" Lei Dongshan.
Even so, Panlong Base sent troops to Guanzhong Base to raid the treasures of Qianling.
At that time, dozens of Survivor Bases nearby dispatched soldiers to attack Guanzhong Base, totaling hundreds of thousands of troops eager to wash the region in blood!
Internal conflicts within Guanzhong Base made it impossible for these hundreds of thousands of human invaders to breach the strongest human defense line fortified by the underground palace.
However, Guanzhong Base was riddled with internal strife.
The combination of civil unrest and external threats ultimately led to the downfall of Guanzhong Base.
In that horrific treasure war instigated by humanity itself, the Tang Shibaling underground palace fortress was destroyed in an instant.
Countless Survivors became victims of their own kind.
The Survivors caught in the civil war had not yet managed to transport the treasures out of Guanzhong when they were suddenly ambushed by a wave from the Deep Sea Army.
The greatest tragedy occurred!
Over a million Survivors, whether civilians or soldiers, were encircled and slaughtered by the Deep Sea Army!
The coveted Qianling Treasure was ultimately left behind, buried in that sea of blood within the underground palace fortress, serving as burial goods for greedy humanity.
Currently, the Qianling burial items circulating in the market are merely a small portion of precious gold and silver vessels that were exchanged before the destruction of Guanzhong Base.
Most of the Qianling Treasure remains buried within Guanzhong Base.
Years have passed, and many ambitious hunting teams have set their sights on the treasures hidden in that underground sea of death.
Countless adventure teams have risked approaching Guanzhong Base in search of treasure.
The results were tragic, which could be described as a Narrow Escape.
Almost no one could bring back the Qianling Treasure from there.
Because the millions of soldiers and civilians who died in battle had long been catalyzed by the Deep Sea Virus into an astonishing number of Scaled Corpses!
Moreover, most of them had upgraded into terrifying Mutated Scale Corpses!
Countless Mutated Scaled Corpse Kings were stationed there!
Now, Survivors not only had to avoid entering the underground treasure vault of Guanzhong Base but also needed to be extra cautious in the surrounding areas for dozens of miles, as large groups of Mutated Scale Corpses would occasionally appear.
Chen Zao had previously encountered a wave of inexplicably attacking Mutated Scale Corpses on his way back, likely having surged out from Guanzhong Base.
Several Survivor Bases near Guanzhong Base had already been bloodily washed away by these Mutated Scale Corpses.
This was all a consequence of humanity's own making, the greatest punishment brought upon by the original sin of greed.
Twenty years ago, the Phoenix Stronghold, located northwest of Panlong Stronghold, had also suffered a massacre from tens of thousands of Mutated Scale Corpses that surged from Guanzhong Base.
Under the leadership of dozens of Mutated Scaled Corpse Kings, those Mutated Scale Corpses nearly wiped out Phoenix Mountain, one of Wuzhai!
All the high-ranking officials of Phoenix Mountain, including the Original Village Chief, perished in that calamity.
After the army of Scaled Corpses bloodily washed through Phoenix Mountain, they continued their slaughter towards Panlong Stronghold.
It wasn't until they encountered the elite legion led by Coiling Dragon Giant Lei Dongshan that they were finally repelled.
Had it not been for Lei Dongshan's unparalleled might, who personally killed dozens of Mutated Scaled Corpse Kings, the foundation of Panlong Stronghold would have been shaken.
After personally experiencing the bloody storm brought by the Mutated Scale Corpses from Guanzhong Base, no one among the Panlong Six Strongholds dared to covet the Qianling Treasure of Guanzhong Base anymore.
People even believe that the treasures flowing out of Qianling are cursed, and anyone who takes them will be avenged by the Mutated Scale Corpses.
Since then, many gold items from Qianling circulating in the market have been melted down into gold bars and coins, and many antiques have been smashed and buried.
Only a few skeptics still dare to keep the antiques that came from Qianling.
Ren Ling is one such female scientist who believes in the science of the apocalypse and is not superstitious.
That night, Chen Zao heard that most of the treasures in Qianling were still there, and he couldn't help but feel a bit restless.
He really wanted to go to Guanzhong Base to see if the top national treasure, Lantingji Xu, which countless people yearned for, was truly hidden in Qianling.
If he could bring Lantingji Xu back to the Golden Age, it would surely shock the world!
Unfortunately, he could only think about these things for now; he couldn't actually take action in Qianling.
There were countless Mutated Scale Corpse Kings guarding the place. Even without them, just the innumerable Mutated Scale Corpses would be enough to turn him into dust.
He wouldn't dare to foolishly use time travel rules to explore Apocalyptic Liangshan.
He would wait until he truly possessed extraordinary strength or until a new round of disasters occurred and Qianling was once again opened by humanity before he could satisfy his curiosity.
For now, he needed to start with the Qianling Treasures that had been passed down from before, "turning waste into treasure" to solidify his wealth in the Golden Age.
