“Haha…” Round Ball chuckled and then burst into laughter, “You can always let it come out if you’re not willing.”
“No worries, I can afford it,” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow, feeling proud. “This little one, only I can afford to take care of it.”
“Conceited!” Round Ball rolled its eyes and said, “You’re just showing off your good fortune.”
“But there’s one thing I should remind you of. The Dark Shadow Sword hasn’t truly acknowledged you as its master yet. It’s just taking shelter inside your body,” Round Ball said with a serious expression.
“I know. I’m a grandmaster blacksmith, after all. Do you think I don’t understand what it means to acknowledge a master? This semi-divine-level weapon is a bit hard to deal with. I tried to coax it but all I managed to do was to make it come with me,” Wang Teng said.
“Considering it’s a semi-divine weapon, coaxing it to come with you is already quite an accomplishment. So, enjoy it while you can,” Round Ball said.
Wang Teng smiled faintly and didn’t say much more. He had already gained the advantage, and the Dark Shadow Sword couldn’t escape. It hadn’t acknowledged him as its master yet, but once it tasted the benefits, he was confident that it would stay for good.
Wang Teng was extremely confident. He looked at the corpse of the Naga Race martial warrior and touched his chin. His eyes were shining.
This corpse was also quite valuable!
If it was turned into a Shadow Puppet, its power would undoubtedly be tremendous.
Although he currently lacked the necessary materials to craft the corpse into a Shadow Puppet, there would be opportunities in the future.

Wang Teng had been staring at a corpse for a long time, and its eyes seemed to be radiating a strange eagerness. Could he have some unusual fetish?
Wang Teng had no idea what Round Ball was thinking, or he would’ve given it a good scolding.
You and your fetishes!
At this moment, he waved his hand and collected the Naga Race martial warrior’s corpse, causing the resolute battle conscious in the area to dissipate.
Outside the door, Tong En and the others felt a change and breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately walked into the hall.
In the center of the great hall, directly facing the entrance, a massive throne sat in silence. It was covered in a thick layer of dust, rendering it inconspicuous in the darkness.
If not for Wang Teng’s activation of the Real Eye, the throne might have gone unnoticed.
Approaching the throne, Wang Teng examined it carefully.
The design of the throne was strikingly similar to the thrones used by the snakemen, adorned with various serpent-like patterns, and the armrests resembled coiled snakes.
Wang Teng’s eyes flickered with realization. He lightly twisted the armrests, and then quickly stepped back.
Crack…

The queen and her companions watched Wang Teng in amazement. How had he discovered this mechanism?
Before long, the throne moved forward, revealing a dark hole beneath, leaving the onlookers wide-eyed in disbelief.
Wow!
If it weren’t for Wang Teng, they might never have found this concealed entrance.
It was hidden quite cleverly.
Who would have thought that beneath the throne symbolizing the supreme authority of the snakemen, lay a secret passage?
“Let’s go down and take a look,” Wang Teng said, a faint smile playing on his lips.
“Is it safe?” Tong En asked.
“Just be careful,” Wang Teng replied, and then he descended into the dark opening.
Tong En and the others were speechless. While he said to be careful, he behaved as if he had no worries, adopting a rather casual attitude.

Wang Teng’s earlier actions had earned their trust. If he believed there was no danger down there, they were likely safe.
