Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Moments later, the surface of the lake returned to calm, and there was no more movement at the bottom.

Only then did the four begin to discuss amongst themselves.

"Three elders, there's a lot of blood floating in the lake water, I'm afraid the one at the bottom of the lake is not in a good situation!"

Xiao Li's tone carried a sense of schadenfreude.

The other three elders also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

They had always suspected that the person at the bottom of the lake was the instigator of Gu You's disappearance, and naturally hoped for their misfortune.

Moreover, the constant terrifying sounds from the lake bottom showed that the person's strength was formidable, matching the suspicion of killing Gu You and others.

As such, they even hoped the person at the bottom of the lake would die there.

Indeed, their speculation was correct.

Wang Teng was the one who killed Gu You.

But they were wrong in thinking that Wang Teng met with misfortune at the lake bottom; instead, he achieved great victory and was harvesting the spoils.

Unaware of all this, Xiao Li and the other three naively analyzed on the lake surface.

"Haha~! Brother Xiao Li is right! The person probably died at the bottom of the lake. After all, it's been so long since that astounding divine light appeared. If he wasn't dead, he should've surfaced long ago."

"Haha~! I also think that person is definitely dead."

"Hehe~! I didn't expect those ghosts at the bottom to emit such divine light. Even if that challenger isn't dead, he must be seriously injured."

"Exactly~! If you ask me, it's better if he's dead. Otherwise, once he comes out, we'll have more trouble on our hands!"

"Hehe~! Besides, we're unwilling to enter the lake because we aren't good at swimming and lack the Water Talent. If this were on land, we wouldn't fear these petty evil ghosts!"

"Certainly! No matter what, the combined strength of the four of us could suppress even a Fourth Heaven expert!"

"Brother Xiao Li, given the situation, the person at the bottom of the lake is probably dead. Should we remain here?"

The three elders all looked towards Xiao Li.

Xiao Li pondered for a while, and said: "Let's wait a bit longer! Just in case he isn't dead and we leave, allowing him to surface afterwards; that'd be missing an opportunity. Besides, Hun You has gone to the Divine Hall and hasn't returned. We can just wait here for Hun You, it doesn't hurt to wait a bit longer!"

"Brother Xiao Li is right!"

At that, the group continued to stand guard over the lake...

Meanwhile, at the lake bottom, Wang Teng had already finished clearing the battlefield.

This time, his harvest was substantial, with about twelve hundred pieces of Jellyfish Soul Wood alone.

Among them, most were dropped from corpses that had yet to awaken.

After submitting the three hundred Jellyfish Soul Wood needed for the bounty, there was still about eight hundred left.

In addition, from those corpses, he had found over forty Storage Rings, and more than a hundred pieces of equipment.

However, most of that equipment had been soaked in the lake water for too long, lowering their quality to only Blue Rare and Purple Epic Level standards, with only one reaching Red Mythical Level.

Despite this, Wang Teng was extremely satisfied.

Especially with that Red Mythical Equipment, because with his Endless Extraction, he could raise it by one tier.

That Red Mythical Equipment would then be an Orange Legendary Equipment.

At the thought of Orange Legendary Equipment, he felt a surge of excitement.

However, at the moment, it was inconvenient to utilize this under the lake; he decided to try it out after surfacing.

After handling these matters, Wang Teng approached the corpse of the Giant-tooth Shark King, his eyes ablaze with eagerness.

The bones of the Profound Tier Sea King Species should meet the Red Mythical Level skeletal standards!

Such a massive corpse should provide enough bones to construct several Teleportation Arrays, shouldn't it?

The most pressing matter for the Celestial Court right now was to establish Teleportation Arrays.

There were still fourteen world dungeons without Teleportation Arrays, preventing complete integration with the Celestial Court.

The members of those fourteen world dungeons were anxious, and Wang Teng felt a similar urgency.

He hoped to quickly create the Teleportation Arrays to unite all the forces of the Celestial Court into one cohesive whole.

This way, those resource-poor world dungeons could come to the Celestial Court Headquarters to enjoy abundant resources and speed up their level progression.

With this in mind, Wang Teng set his next plan to be focusing entirely on creating Teleportation Arrays.

As for the second segment of the Divine Realm's evolution bounty, he planned to tackle that after nightfall. There was nothing he could do about it now, since he couldn't enter the Eye of the Lake.

There were still two to three hours until nightfall.

That was more than enough time for him to complete the construction of the Teleportation Arrays.

Moreover, the creation of each Teleportation Array would reward him with 200 points of Free Attributes.

If he established a Teleportation Array for each of the fourteen world dungeons, that would mean 2800 points in Free Attributes in total!

This way, his power would increase dramatically.

By then, his success rate in completing the second-phase bounty of the Divine Realm's evolution would be greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng felt at ease, thinking his plan was quite perfect.

At that very moment, he heard the clear voice of Qian Lingxue in his ear.

Qian Lingxue: "Master, I've collected all the materials needed for the Level 5 Home upgrade!"

Wang Teng rejoiced: "Great, trade them over!"

Qian Lingxue responded sweetly: "Mm~! Xue'Er will trade them over to you right away. By the way, during this time, I also managed to exchange for two Gold-level Blind Boxes, I'll trade them to Master as well."
