Tang Ping's body and spirit seemed to be sublimated at this moment, powerful, absolutely powerful. Even beings of his same strength, if they hadn't consumed a strange treasure of life, would be like lambs before a lion or tiger in his eyes.

Splash! The sound of water rang out again. Three strange treasures, a full three strange treasures, reappeared. After witnessing the strange treasures being devoured by the man in front of them and the earth-shattering changes that followed, these people became even more frantic.

Several of them, without hesitation, ran out towards the strange treasures. They probably thought that no matter what, the other party couldn't possibly take all three strange treasures. If they were lucky enough to snatch one, their strength would greatly increase.

“Zhang Xile, Nie Yu, you two form a group and go for that Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure first, quickly!” Tang Ping decided to play it safe, at least securing two strange treasures. As for splitting up, going to three different places, their energy might be spread too thin, and if an accident occurred, they might not even get one. Moreover, if Division Commander Zheng went to Nie Yu's location, it would be troublesome.

“Don't worry, Brother Tang!”

“Old Tang, just wait for our good news.”

A whirlpool appeared under Nie Yu's feet, and he stepped on it, using the water to move towards the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure. Zhang Xile's speed was even faster, directly transforming into a rainbow light. Although it was far from the speed of actual light, his speed still left people in the dust.

However, who among those present was simple? The seemingly kind and benevolent high-ranking officials of the base had countless corpses under their command and had concentrated numerous resources into their own hands, including some powerful trump cards.

A high-ranking official of the base, seeing the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure about to be snatched by Zhang Xile, crushed a silver stone without hesitation. His figure immediately appeared in front of the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure the next second.

Previously, everyone had some doubts about the effects of the strange treasures, but these doubts completely vanished after Tang Ping consumed the strange treasure, transforming into an all-consuming madness.

No one knew when the strange treasures would disappear. Many had a hunch that if they missed this opportunity, they would never have another chance to obtain them, and they would truly lose the possibility of reaching the peak.

The big-nosed high-ranking official of the Military Region Base had excitement in his eyes. His broad, thick hands reached for the strange treasure, but the next second, he let out a scream. A whirlpool had appeared in front of his palm at some point, grinding his hand into minced meat.

The whirlpool was about to continue devouring the big-nosed high-ranking official, but he crushed another silver stone. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away, staring at the whirlpool with a look of terror. Then his gaze shifted, looking at Nie Yu with venom. He was so close, just a little bit more! He had wasted two instant-teleportation stones, yet he hadn't even touched the strange treasure.

At this moment, Nie Yu was not in the mood to pay attention to that big-nosed high-ranking official. He needed to face those who were about to pocket the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure.

A black arm, appearing from nowhere, abruptly emerged in front of the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum, attempting to grab it.

But the still-lingering whirlpool immediately stirred up huge waves, sweeping the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure away. The black arm could only disappear in annoyance.

At this moment, Zhang Xile finally arrived. He grabbed the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum in his hand, about to swallow it, when he suddenly discovered, to his astonishment, that the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum had turned into a broken stone.

From afar, a loud laugh echoed: “Hahaha, I finally got a strange treasure!”

Unfortunately, before he could finish laughing, a blood-hole appeared out of thin air on his forehead. Not far away, a high-ranking official of the Military Region Base, sweating profusely, held a tattered doll in his hand. A nail had been pierced into the doll's head at some point.

The Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure once again floated on the lake's surface.

This time, the surrounding people seemed to have been doused with cold water, sobering up a bit. Although their gaze was still fixed on that strange treasure, for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

Zhang Xile and Nie Yu stood together, one like a phantom of light hovering above the lake, the other standing calmly with his feet on a whirlpool.

There were three other people around.

“Kill them first,” Zhang Xile whispered.

Nie Yu nodded: “Understood.”

Suddenly, a beam of light fell upon the pale-faced man holding the tattered doll. Before the man could react, he dissipated into light. But the next second, the tattered doll, about to fall into the lake, transformed back into the pale-faced man.

The pale-faced man's face was truly pale this time. Without thinking, he immediately fled, jumping from the speedboat into the water and disappearing from sight.

The other two, however, were not so lucky. One turned into light, and the other was torn into a bloody pulp by a whirlpool.

The Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum completely fell into the hands of Zhang Xile and Nie Yu.

“Here, among the three of us, you're the weakest right now. Hurry up and eat it, so you don't drag us down. Don't blame me if you die because I couldn't save you in time,” Zhang Xile tossed the Heart-Shaped Chrysanthemum strange treasure to Nie Yu.

Nie Yu was moved to tears, though no actual tears fell. “Brother Xile! My true brother!”

“Are you addicted to recognizing brothers? Hurry up and eat it, don't let someone snatch it again.”

“Alright!” Nie Yu swallowed it in one gulp.

His entire body, from bone to flesh, from flesh to skin, glowed. At this moment, his life also underwent a leap.

Just as the two were preparing to snatch the strange treasure that Division Commander Zheng was contending for, a Goldfish Grass strange treasure reappeared on the lake less than a hundred meters away.

Zhang Xile was pleasantly surprised and was about to retrieve it when huge waves suddenly rose on the water. Before the waves could recede, golden light pierced through the water curtain from within.

Splash! A seven-tailed, seven-colored goldfish floated on the waves, glanced at Zhang Xile, flicked its tail, and entered Tang Lake, disappearing from sight.

“Damn it!” Zhang Xile resigned himself to bad luck and quickly went back to Division Commander Zheng's location.

Unfortunately, Division Commander Zheng had already obtained a strange treasure. In the Military Region Base, where he already held immense power, no one dared to contend with him except for Tang Ping and his two companions.

Division Commander Zheng unhesitatingly swallowed the Impatiens strange treasure in his hand.

Meanwhile, Tang Ping also obtained another strange treasure. However, the further one progresses, the harder it is to increase one's racial Lifespan value. The first strange treasure brought the biggest change, directly from one hundred to one thousand, but the second one could only add one hundred on top of the thousand.

So Tang Ping didn't consume it. Currently, among his group, only he, Zhang Xile, and Nie Yu could hold their own. To face the people who might arrive through the light gate at any moment, just like the man who died so carelessly earlier, he had to strengthen his own people first.

Carrying the strange treasure, the Great Emperor Moth beneath Tang Ping ascended, and the three reunited.

“Did you get a Mystical Art?”
