Teng teng!
A few fine horses galloped on the official road.
Chung Shen-soo took the lead, followed by Huang Xie, Loopy Clam, and Su Tang.
As the deputy of Evil Slayer, he had the responsibility of patrolling and suppressing evil spirits. It could be considered as abusing his position for personal gain.
Originally, Chung Shen-soo could have dug for treasures alone without anyone noticing. However, he thought about it and chose to call the others.
This was to train and demonstrate trust. Secondly, it was a test.
It was normal to be shaken in the face of such treasures. It was better to see it now than to betray him in the future.
Therefore, Chung Shen-soo decided to bring Su Tang with him this time to buy a house and land. He would also use a large number of Su family members to see how good they were.
He did not care about corruption.
The more he did this, the more it would consume their friendship. When he felt that his responsibility was done, he could just leave at any time.
"We're here. This is the third place, San Cha Mountain. It's famous because of the mountain range with three peaks."
Huang Xie said with a smile as he pointed at a hill not far away.
Chung Shen-soo looked at the landmark, which overlapped with a piece of memory in his heart. He nodded and got off the horse.
Behind him, Huang Xie and the others carried shovels and other tools and followed. They all had a bitter expression on their faces.
During this period of time, Zhong Shenxiu led them all over the place. Once they arrived at a place, they would start digging.
They had to dig at least three feet deep!
In the end … they did not even see a hair.
At this point, even Huang Xie was confused.
"Found it."
Chung Shen-soo did not care about this. He went straight up the mountain and found a cave.
"Let's dig at the entrance first."
He thought about it and ordered.
"This seems to be the lair of a beast."
Huang Xie sniffed the ground and said to Loopy Clam, "There's nothing in the cave for now. It might have gone hunting. Let's move quickly!"
Loopy Clam waved the hoe with a bitter look on his face. Although Su Tang did not know what her cousin wanted to do, she could only listen.
The three of them worked together and quickly dug ten feet, which was more than three meters deep. At that moment, Loopy Clam dug out a skull with his hoe. He was so shocked that he hurriedly threw it aside.
"It's really here."
Chung Shen-soo nodded. He knew that these were coolies who were being silenced.
He smiled and led the way into the cave with the torch in his hand.
As for magic arrays and traps, he was thinking too much.
Back then, the Felix family was not a wealthy family. After all, the country had just been founded, and most of the treasures had been constructed using manpower.
Moreover, if he were to silence the dead and dig a hole to bury them, no one would know.
Once a trap or even a magic array was set up, it would be easy for it to reveal flaws.
Moreover, the Felix family could not set up a magic array with automatic maintenance and concealment function that could last for more than a hundred years. It might be possible if it were the western countries.
There was a fishy smell in the cave. Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and found a place, "Here. Let's dig three feet and see."
"Alright."
Su Tang agreed and called Loopy Clam to dig together.
Chung Shen-soo sensed something and walked out of the cave.
At that moment, a black bear saw him. It stood on its hind legs and roared as it pounced at him.
"Food is delivered."
Chung Shen-soo was overjoyed. He took a step forward and raised his right hand to block the bear's paw.
His Black Tortoise Armor and Reckless Bull Skin Hardening Skill had both reached great success. At that moment, his protective skill could make any innate master vomit!
A mere wild beast was really nothing in his eyes.
Seeing that the humanoid creature in front of it had grabbed its paw as if nothing had happened, the black bear was enraged and was about to bite it.
The next moment, a fist with the strength of a dragon and elephant smashed into its head. It knew nothing after that.
"This bear's skin is worth some money."
Huang Xie went forward to peel the skin and said to Chung Shen-soo.
"Sir, there's something inside!"
When Huang Xie was cooking the black bear, Su Tang ran out with an excited look on her face.
"Oh?!"
Chung Shen-soo was not surprised. He looked at Su Tang and Loopy Clam carrying out a rotten wooden box.
"This is all the scattered treasures of the Country of Count. It's like a pirate's treasure."
He cursed in his heart and asked the others to leave. He then tore the half-rotten lock apart.
The wooden box opened with a bang. It seemed like it was going to fall apart at the next moment.
There were not many things in the box, but there was a thick layer of silver coins at the bottom. There were also two small boxes on top.
After opening the box, there were hundreds of gold coins. On the surface was the portrait of a man with a high nose and a crown of olive leaves.
In the other box, there were a few magic instruments, but they had lost their luster.
These were equivalent to low-level magic instruments, and they had not been maintained for a long time. It was normal for them to become like this. Now, they were only worth some money for materials.
"I caught a survivor of the Felix family and forced a treasure map out of him. It's clean. You guys check it first …"
Chung Shen-soo looked at the box of magic instruments and picked up a brooch.
There was a large ruby on the brooch. The magic light inside had long dimmed. On the back of the brooch, there was a line of western cursive letters.
Chung Shen-soo recognized that it was "For the glory of the Medici family!"
"The Medici family seems to be a big family in the West. That legendary first generation Count, is he a side branch of the family?"
He knocked his head and recalled a memory. "But it's none of my business. I don't know if these things can be combined into a magic instrument."
Western magic instruments were completely different from eastern magic instruments, but some materials could still be used.
Last time, he had obtained an incomplete book on refining magic instruments from that Wu Tong. Now, he was very interested.
At this time, Huang Xie also finished checking the harvest. His face was full of excitement. "Sir, there are a total of 527 gold coins and 6387 silver coins. These are all western coins. They are a little smaller than our White Emperor coins. The gold coins also have to be melted down before they can be used. But no matter what, there are still tens of thousands of White Emperor coins."
"Poor bastard!"
Chung Shen-soo fiercely despised Count in his heart. Although he was a second-class ninth rank Evil Slayer deputy, his monthly salary was only ten White Emperor coins, which was considered generous.
He looked at the three of them and put away the two small boxes. He smiled and said, "Each of you gets a hundred silver coins first. The rest can be discussed when we get back."
