Chapter 578: Plundering the Dead Island (1)

In Hunter's stealth, Jacob slowly made his way toward the building entrance and used the slumber hex to knock the guard zombie out.

Jacob then tries opening the door, but to his surprise, it won't budge. He frowned since he saw the Zombie always opening this door without using any key or special method.

After mulling over this issue for a moment, he picked up the zombie through his hand and touched the door nob and to his surprise, it easily opened this time.

'Interesting...'

This time, he took the slumbering zombie within him, and he entered inside before closing the door. A corridor with four doors on each side appeared in front of him.

Without hesitation, Jacob reached the first door to his left and tried opening it but failed again. He tried doing the same thing he did at the entrance door, but this time, the door wouldn't open.

'Don't tell me this door needs those Midget Wights' touch to open it? Well, it won't be secure if anyone can open these doors.' Jacob thought before looking at the zombie and throwing him away. He didn't want to kill it just yet since it would be akin to alerting of his presence. He won't kill anyone, not until he completely reconnoiters this place.

But despite his hesitation, he needed to open these doors, and an idea popped into his mind; he ordered Autarch, "Refine that zombie into your puppet!"

After giving the order, Jacob threw a full power punch at the door and blasted it away!

Behind the door was a spacious room filled with shelves, and on those shelves were placed different types of plants in glass containers.

'Magic herbs?' Jacob's eyes lit up as he sensed dense magic energy from those plants. He knew the magic herbs growing on the Dark Beings territory had different characteristics than the magic herbs on the living beings' side.

These magic herbs were very potent to living beings, yet some of them were also beneficial if they were used in alchemy. The Life Medicines weren't just refined by Life Crystals alone, but some auxiliary materials were also needed.

Although he didn't have the Life medicine formula, he wasn't going to leave behind those magic herbs at all. So, he quickly begins to collect them into an empty space ring.

Once he was done, he moved to the other room and forced his way in. This time, Jacob saw piles of crimson crystals neatly arranged around the room. Some were as small as one inch, while the largest among them were palmed size.

Jacob happily collected them all since they were probably unique rank life crystals.

The third door led to another life crystal deposit, while the final one was filled with magic herbs. He had probably collected over 20,000 life crystals and 1,000 magic herbs.

After emptying the entire storehouse, Jacob looked at the Zombie, "Is it done?"

"I still required another hour," Autarch replied.

"Alright, once you're done, make this look like this guy took all the items here and then escaped. It won't be difficult as long as you leave behind his special magic signatures around. In between, if someone came, just directly blow him off." Jacob coldly commands before leaving the storage house.

This was the only way to cover his tracks for a little while longer.

Now that he knew this place was filled with exotic treasures and knowledge, he wanted to completely ransack it before starting the carnage. He might not get another chance like this once the Spirit Magic Dead King was alert.

Once he left the storage house after closing the door, he quickly vanished in the night and headed toward the other buildings. Soon, he discovered another building, like the storage house, and another zombie guarding the door.

Without hesitation, he entered using the same method. But this time, this storage house was not like the previous one and didn't have any rooms. Instead, it was a lush herb field filled with all sorts of growing magic herbs.

In the center of this herb field was an ash-blue willow tree, and a strange blue fruit with a dark circle was growing on its branches. This fruit was round and small, but it gave off an ambiance like a dark being.

After thinking about it, Jacob decided just to take everything and begin to pull the magic herbs with their roots and also harvest all the blue fruits on the willow tree.

The once lush garden was now barren, and only the willow tree remained. Jacob left after giving Autarch the same command and began to search more storehouses.

This research island was spread over five thousand miles, so it was impossible to ransack it in a single night fully. Still, Jacob managed to plunder eight more storage houses, three of which were herb gardens.

When dawn arrived, Jacob arrived at another building, which was far bigger than any other buildings he had plundered. Furthermore, the security here was ten times greater than the other buildings.

Two cloaked Wraiths were guarding the runic door. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a Midget Wight exited the building. Jacob thought for a moment before he stealthily followed it.

Once they were in a remote area, Jacob directly hexed the guy and ordered Autarch to refine it into his puppet.

After an hour, the Midget stood in front of Jacob, and following his order, the Midget began to head back to the large building while Jacob followed him in stealth.

Upon seeing the Midget Wight return, the Wraiths didn't show any reaction and opened the door for him and let him pass. But this time, Jacob was following behind, and those two Wraiths didn't notice him.

Once they were inside, the door closed, and Jacob appeared in a large white space filled with glass tanks. His expression changed slightly upon seeing the living beings slumbering within those glass tanks filled with translucent green liquid.

There were elves, dwarfs, trolls, and many other races. This was the storehouse of living begins!

Furthermore, they weren't the only ones in this place; in the center were three more Midget Wights, and each of them was operating with a living being lying in front of a stone slab.

One of them was harvesting blood in a bottle, while another one was taking out organs. It was like a post-mortem center!
