Chapter 757: Chapter 597 Excessive_3

Su Mo’s nerves were somewhat numb by now; he couldn’t even remember how many monsters he had killed.

At that moment, a piercing insect-like chirping sounded.

A fifty-meter-tall Maca Insect Queen with a swollen abdomen appeared, its angry red eyes fixated on Su Mo. It charged straight at him, its sharp tactile blade slicing toward Su Mo.

Su Mo maneuvered the Gluttonous Mecha to agilely dodge to the side and retaliated by swinging the Super Alloy Blade, chopping into the Maca Insect Queen!

Squeak~

The Maca Insect Queen emitted a painful shriek as it instinctively backed away, its tough exoskeleton easily breached, leaving a shocking wound.

Su Mo was extremely agitated at this point, with the bio-reactions of the Gluttonous Mecha soaring.

As the strongest IV generation Biological Mecha of the Hongji Empire, the fighting power of the Gluttonous Mecha was far stronger than that of the regular IV-type monsters. Coupled with Su Mo’s piloting skills and the Fake Owner·Swallower’s ability to identify weaknesses…

The Gluttonous Mecha was utterly dominating the Maca Insect Queen, its sharp Super Alloy Blade chopping down one blow after another.

Crack!

The legs of the Maca Insect Queen were chopped off.

The body of the Maca Insect Queen tilted forward, and before it could cry out in pain, Su Mo controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to open its mouth and blasted a close-range Heat Radiation Energy Beam at the queen’s head!

Hiss~

Light splattered in all directions.

The entire Maca Insect Queen fell to the ground with a thud, its solid exoskeleton head disintegrated, revealing the internal biological tissues.

At that moment, Su Mo controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to lift the Super Alloy Blade and ruthlessly thrust it down, piercing through its head.

After the Maca Insect let out its final wail,

suddenly, the remaining Maca Worms around scattered in all directions.

The Fake Owner·Swallower didn’t hesitate for a second, emerging again to devour the Maca Insect Queen completely clean.

Su Mo then controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to look around, officially observing the Temple.

All around were dust and a few broken and decayed items, with the Temple floor made of an extremely tough Blue Steel Rock.

Soon after the Fake Owner·Swallower finished devouring its prey, it returned to Su Mo’s body.

Su Mo drove the Gluttonous Mecha forward; the path was smooth without any obstacles or monsters. Nor was there anything to be found, with every gate wide open.

“How come there is nothing along the way?”

Su Mo asked with furrowed brows.

“Not sure, but the end should be just up ahead,”

the Fake Owner·Swallower replied in a deep voice.

Looking ahead, Su Mo saw a towering blue stone gate hundreds of meters high, marked with strange patterns.

Su Mo was incredibly excited at the sight of this gate.

“This has to be the treasury, right? We’re going to be rich!”

“It should be, this gate has the function to shield scans,”

the Fake Owner·Swallower responded.

“Then what are we waiting for!”

Su Mo didn’t say another word and drove the Gluttonous Mecha up, placing both hands directly on the blue stone gate.

The entire blue stone gate was unbelievably heavy!

The Gluttonous Mecha even seemed to have difficulty pushing it. Su Mo took a deep breath, his pupils contracted, and he suddenly exploded with effort.

“Ah!”

Boom~

The blue stone gate was slowly pushed open, causing the entire Temple to vibrate gently.

Su Mo, holding his breath, looked through the opening with mounting excitement.

However, as the blue stone gate opened, Su Mo’s smile froze completely.

That’s right, behind the blue stone gate was a giant treasury, but it was barren with absolutely nothing inside. The only things there were dust on the ground and a heap of broken utensils in the corner.

Upon closer inspection, you could see that the ground was pockmarked with battle scars that must have been from long ago.

“Empty?”

Su Mo said with a twitch in his mouth.

“From the battle marks on the ground, it seems that a team similar to humans had visited this place a long time ago and had engaged in intense combat here. It looks like someone had come here before us,”

the Fake Owner·Swallower replied solemnly.

Su Mo took a deep breath to steady his rollercoaster emotions. His heart had plummeted to the depths as if on a roller coaster. A normal person couldn’t handle such a drop. However, aside from a bit of disappointment, Su Mo quickly regained his composure.

“You mean we’re too late, that someone got here before us?”

“That’s the case, but it’s not that we came out completely empty-handed, like those broken utensils in the corner,”

the Fake Owner·Swallower replied indifferently.

“Is there treasure inside?”

Su Mo’s eyes lit up, thinking there might be an unexpected surprise.

“No.”

“…Then why mention it!”

Su Mo was at a loss for words.

“We can only look a bit more,”

the Fake Owner·Swallower replied after a few seconds of silence.

Su Mo opened the Gluttonous Mecha’s cockpit, jumped down, and said with resignation as he looked at the empty treasury,

“Do you think there’s anything valuable left here? This treasury is now cleaner than my own pockets.”

Without a word, the Fake Owner·Swallower closed its mouth.

Su Mo sighed and decided to take a walk around the treasury. Although it looked completely empty at a glance, a thorough search might turn up some scraps, at the very least a consolation prize.

More than an hour later, Su Mo stood in front of the rear wall of the treasury with a twitching mouth corner.

He had meticulously searched through, and aside from the chaotic hieroglyphs on the walls, there was nothing else in the entire treasury.

As for secret compartments or mechanisms, there were none.

“What are these?”

Su Mo asked the Fake Owner·Swallower.
