Chapter 23: The Legendary Treasure! Chapter

In the blink of an eye, two bodies collided heavily with each other.

The sharp blade in Zhang Xuan's hand and the sharp claws of the fierce tiger attacked each other almost at the same time!

However, at the moment of the impact, this fierce tiger, which probably weighed about a ton, let out a mournful howl.

It was as if it had been hit by a locomotive and instantly flew backward.

Its huge body crashed heavily into a big tree that could be embraced by one person.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, a crack actually appeared on the trunk of the tree that one could embrace.

And that white-browed fierce tiger fell to the ground, making a whimpering sound like a painful moan.

Its thick limbs seemed to have their own minds, struggling desperately to stand up, but its huge body was as limp as mud at this moment and couldn't get up at all.

Apparently, its spine at the back had been shattered in the impact.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Xuan was completely dumbfounded.

He stood there in disbelief, stunned.

He stared at his own hands with a blank look on his face.

"What's going on? Could it be that this tiger is all show and no go, good-looking but useless?"

"Although I feel that my strength has increased a lot in the past two days, it shouldn't be this abnormal!"

"This is a fierce beast weighing nearly a ton, and I actually knocked it flying with just one hit?"

At this moment, the fierce tiger, which had struggled for a long time but still couldn't get up, also gave up resistance.

Its huge body slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

There was actually a bit of human-like confusion and puzzlement in the tiger's eyes.

It seemed to be wondering why the human in front of it was so abnormal.

When Zhang Xuan came to his senses, endless joy immediately surged in his heart.

A record in the "Taoist Corpse Refining Technique" emerged in Zhang Xuan's mind.

"Different people will have different strengths that they can exert after becoming zombies."

"For those with weak bodies, even if they accidentally turn into zombies, they will only be the lowest-level hopping zombies. And they probably won't be able to upgrade in the future."

"But for those who had terrifying physiques during their lifetimes or were fierce generals who killed countless people. After turning into zombies, their strengths will be extremely terrifying, and the probability of them being promoted to higher-level zombies will also be higher!"

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, feeling his current terrifying strength, and couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart.

"My current physical strength is probably far beyond that of the martial saints in novels!"

"Even for a martial saint, it would take countless punches to kill a tiger. I just used one 'Iron Mountain Lean' and crippled this fierce tiger!"

"Moreover, my tiger is much bigger than the one that a martial saint would face!"

"Perhaps even Xiang Yu, the overlord in legends, probably had the same pure strength as me!"

"If I can successfully turn into a zombie, I don't know how terrifying I will become!"

With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan's excitement became even more difficult to suppress.

Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Xuan slowly approached the fierce tiger with a dagger in his hand.

"You're already disabled now! Even if I don't kill you, you'll die in the hands of those wild wolves."

"It would be a pity for such a fierce tiger to die in the hands of wild wolves."

"Forget it! Let me put you out of your misery!"

Facing Zhang Xuan's words, this fierce tiger seemed to understand and slowly closed its eyes.

The next second, Zhang Xuan stabbed the dagger into the tiger's heart.

The tiger's body trembled slightly and soon lost its breath.

After dealing with this fierce tiger, Zhang Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

He set off again along the route recorded on the treasure map.

Just after walking dozens of meters, a cliff wall appeared in Zhang Xuan's line of sight.

"Hmm? It should be here."

"There's a stone drawn on this treasure map. It seems that this stone should be the entrance."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan used the light above his head to search around.

Soon, a strangely shaped stone under the cliff wall caught Zhang Xuan's attention.

"It must be this stone! It's exactly the same as the one on the treasure map!"

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Zhang Xuan quickly stretched out his big hand and touched the stone.

But the next second, a stinging pain came from his arm.

Zhang Xuan quickly withdrew his hand and found that there was actually a cut on his finger, and bright red blood immediately flowed out.

But at this moment, the cliff wall in front of him actually shook slightly.

As the cliff wall opened, a bottomless passage slowly appeared.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan was ecstatic!

"Found it! Found it!"

"My charming ancestor actually knew this kind of mechanism technique."

"The things inside must be good!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan quickly got into this passage.

As Zhang Xuan entered, the stone wall slowly closed again.

By the light of his headlamp, sections of stone steps appeared in front of Zhang Xuan.

Looking up, he couldn't see the end of the steps at all.

A few minutes later, after walking several hundred meters, the end of the steps finally came into sight.

Zhang Xuan muttered to himself in a low voice.

"My ancestor was definitely into corpse cultivation, not tomb robbing."

"A treasure hiding place is hidden so deep! It's probably two hundred meters underground!"

As the steps disappeared, a spacious cave appeared in front of Zhang Xuan.

When Zhang Xuan stepped on the ground, bursts of fire suddenly lit up in the pitch-dark cave.

It illuminated the entire pitch-dark underground space.

Three boxes appeared in front of Zhang Xuan.

Each box was about one meter long, wide, and high.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan's face broke into a big smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Damn! Such big boxes! And there are three of them! Could it be that these boxes are also made of red sandalwood?"

"If that's true, wouldn't I become rich overnight!"

Although he clearly knew that the zombie apocalypse was coming soon, Zhang Xuan still couldn't resist the joy of getting rich.

Zhang Xuan took a quick step forward and carefully examined the boxes in front of him.

But the moment he saw the boxes, the smile on Zhang Xuan's face disappeared suddenly.

"Damn! They're not made of red sandalwood but huanghuali wood."

"Although they're worth a hundred thousand or so, I'm not someone who lacks a hundred thousand yuan now!"

"Forget it. Let's quickly see what good things are in these boxes."

There was no lock on the boxes, and Zhang Xuan directly opened the first box.

"May bad luck stay away! May good luck be with me!!"

"May bad luck stay away! May good luck be with me!"

This was a proper unboxing moment.

As the first box was opened, Zhang Xuan stared into it with sharp eyes.

But the next second, the excited expression on his face froze instantly!

"Damn! It's empty!!"

Looking at the empty box in front of him, ten thousand curses rushed through Zhang Xuan's mind.

"Are you kidding me! How can this box be empty? Ancestor, you're not playing fair!"

"It's an empty box, yet you drew a treasure map!"

After cursing his ancestor a bit, Zhang Xuan was still not reconciled and quickly opened the second box.

As the second box was opened, Zhang Xuan was immediately stunned on the spot!

He saw that there were several pieces of porcelain and several paintings and calligraphy works placed in this box!

As Zhang Xuan was an archaeology major, he recognized at a glance that these things were all precious treasures!

Any one of them would have a terrifying starting auction price of one billion yuan!

"Great! Just this one box, and I've made a fortune!"

At this moment, Zhang Xuan's eyes turned to the last box.

"Could there also be such treasures in this box?"

But thinking of the coming zombie apocalypse, Zhang Xuan's joy was diluted a little.

After all, money would be meaningless in the future.

Following the principle of "better to be wrong than to miss it", Zhang Xuan opened the third box.

And after seeing what was inside, Zhang Xuan's head suddenly felt dizzy! All the hairs on his body stood on end!

"What, what is this..."
