220: Hidden Fragments, Fragmented Miniature World

"Brother Tang, are we going back now?" Zhang Xile was grinning from ear to ear because among everyone present, only he had obtained a Mystical Art.

Everyone else looked over, even Lieutenant General Hong, who was an official.

Tang Ping pointed at the lake, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "You wouldn't think this is fake, would you?"

"Get ready, the real treasure isn't a strange treasure."

"What is it?" Nie Yu asked curiously.

Everyone else also looked over.

"These hidden treasures from the old era cannot adapt to today's rules. After a brief resurgence, they will completely shatter, and those shattered fragments..."

Tang Ping hadn't finished speaking when, as if to confirm his words, the illusory great tree transformed into specks of starlight, gradually merging and connecting into a single expanse, as if the world was being re-rendered.

"Get ready. Next, we must ensure that we plunder as many fragments as possible in a short time, while also preventing other forces from seizing them."

At this moment, a bus also strangely drove across the lake.

It was a familiar aura. Tang Ping looked at the bus and knew who was coming.

The vehicle stopped, transforming into a Shelter and returning to someone's hand. Standing at the front was Yao Xiaoyue.

"Haha, Uncle Xiao Tang, hello!" Wu Zhenhai greeted him.

A few minutes later, Tang Ping introduced everyone.

Then he spoke to Yao Xiaoyue and her group.

"There are no strange treasures right now, but there will be hidden treasure fragments later. There might still be strange treasures remaining inside. We'll work together later to try and grab as many of these fragments as possible. After you take out the strange treasures from inside, don't throw away those fragments. Those fragments are the real treasures. They contain a self-contained space. Although the space inside has shrunk a lot, it still ranges from dozens to hundreds of meters.

However, these fragments, if not handled correctly and promptly, will quickly dissipate until nothing is left. To truly preserve these fragments from degenerating, you need to place them in a level five shelter's estate. The estate isolates them from today's contamination rules, preventing the fragments from being assimilated and dissolved. Only then can they be utilized by us.

Furthermore, if you can find some suppressing objects, these fragment mini-worlds might even gain some growth.

Of course, they can also merge with Shelters below Level Five to gain an independent space, but without relying on a true world, not only will the fragment mini-world lose its growth potential, but the space inside the fragment will also shrink significantly. Of course, even if it shrinks, it's still larger than a Shelter. As for how to use them, that's your own problem."

"As for the distribution of fragments, whoever grabs it gets it. But if someone tries to snatch ours, we'll stand united against them, how about that?"

"No problem, our Spark Base will listen to you, Uncle Xiao Tang!" Wu Zhenhai called him Uncle Xiao Tang with such familiarity.

Tang Ping sighed helplessly, then took out some more strange treasures: "You use these strange treasures first. While evolving your life, they can greatly enhance your strength. Later, when you get those hidden treasure fragments and find strange treasures inside, return them to me. Remember, I'm not giving these to you as a gift."

Just as Tang Ping finished speaking, cracks suddenly appeared on the lake surface, emitting white light from within. The entire lake seemed to be splitting open.

But Tang Ping knew it wasn't the lake splitting; it was the hidden treasure, shattering.

A crisp sound, like a mirror shattering, echoed out of nowhere.

The people on the lake were still bewildered, some even still snatching at the leaves.

With the sound of shattering, streaks of white light flew out from the lake.

"Quick, move!" Tang Ping was the first to act. The Great Emperor Moth flapped its wings, flying directly towards the nearest fragment.

He immediately took the fragment into his palm, and his mental power probed in, instantly scanning the space inside. It was an irregular space about three hundred meters in diameter, and there were two strange treasures inside, which was quite good.

He now had eight strange treasures on him. Originally, he had twenty-three strange treasures. Besides those he ate on the spot, some were distributed to Chairman Wang and Nie Yu. As for Zhang Xile, being in the same group as him, there was naturally no need for strange treasures.

Now, with these two added, he had ten strange treasures in his hand, along with over thirty thousand leaves.

As Tang Ping made his move, Chairman Wang, Miao Qingshi, Zhang Xile, Nie Yu, Lieutenant General Hong, the Man in black, the Fat Woman, Yao Xiaoyue, Su Lele, and others all rushed towards the white fragments.

From Tang Ping's words just now, they had already realized the preciousness of these fragments. Weren't these mini-worlds!

It's just that the conditions for preserving them were a bit harsh, requiring a level five shelter with an estate.

While everyone was still stunned, Tang Ping and his group had already collected twenty to thirty fragments.

The first to react was Karina of the Holy Light Group, who gathered the remaining Angels and rushed towards the fragments. It must be said that these Angel Gene Warriors had a huge advantage in snatching these fragments.

And these people were also the force that snatched the most fragments, apart from Tang Ping's group.

But compared to Tang Ping's group, there was still some gap, as Tang Ping's group was practically like a swarm of locusts.

"Brother Tang Ping, I'm not too late, am I! I couldn't afford the light gate stone, and I even encountered a Calamity Beast on the way, almost losing my life." Gao Changfeng was still injured. Before Tang Ping could reply, he saw a strange treasure thrown at him.

"I'll lend it to you first. Hurry and grab those fragments. When you get some from inside the fragments, return them to me."

Gao Changfeng was stunned but immediately knew what it was: "You're righteous, Brother! Then I won't be polite!"

"What? Who are you calling 'Brother'? Is my Uncle Xiao Tang someone you can call 'Brother'?" Wu Zhenhai saw that the other party was alone and clearly easy to bully, unlike Chairman Wang's group who were not to be trifled with. This guy, wanting to jump ahead in seniority and call his Uncle Tang 'Brother'?

"Uh..." Gao Changfeng was a bit confused about the situation.

Chen Pingliang pulled Wu Zhenhai: "What time is it, and you're still chatting here? Hurry and grab the fragments!"

Gao Changfeng was a bit bewildered. After eating the strange treasure, he quickly went to grab the fragments. Although he still didn't know what they were, they were definitely good things.

Many people on the lake, after snatching fragments, even though they didn't know how to use them, discovered the rules once the fragments came into contact with their Shelters.

"This thing can open up a small space inside the Shelter?!" A Fourth-Level Talent User looked in astonishment at a small space of lush green grass inside his Shelter. The small space was only about ten meters wide and irregular in shape, but it still covered over a hundred square meters, which filled him with immense joy.

Perhaps he didn't know that the original space within this small fragment was a full five to six thousand square meters. Unfortunately, because it relied on the Shelter rather than using an estate to resist contamination, relying on a true world, it rapidly shrunk. If he knew, he would probably be filled with regret, because selling this fragment to a major power would earn him unimaginably rich rewards. Even if it were used to trade for shelter fragments, and then first raise the Shelter's level before using the fragment, the space obtained would be many times larger.

The function of the fragments, whether intentionally or not, quickly spread among the crowd.

The situation became more chaotic, and more people died. Their dropped Shelters ultimately became the possessions of others.
