Arrows rained down from the sky, covering the sun. Zhou Qingfeng felt as if his mind had been taken away as he watched in a daze.
From the moment Chu Ying charged out with a wave of Blood Light Elite Cavalry, to the moment he threw his head back and laughed heartily, it was as if he was invincible. This kind of power and dominance was beyond imagination, causing Zhou Qingfeng to yearn for it. He wished that he could gallop on such a flashy battlefield.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you spacing out for?" Jia Gang patted Zhou Qingfeng's back. He was incomparably fearful of the intense battle that was taking place at such a close distance — Chu Ying's current might was like the blazing sun in the sky. Under the blazing sun, all living things felt an unbearable burning pain.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to see how Mangurtai would deal with it, but he remembered that he still had something to do after being reminded by Jia Gang. Right now, the two big bosses were fighting fiercely, and Hwang Tae-gil might come over later. In this kind of decisive battle, all the minions below the boss would have to participate, and no one could stay out of it — then the treasure vault in Herkulun City would probably be left unguarded.
Zhou Qingfeng had done so much just for this moment.
Time was running out, hurry up!
Explosive spells, the radiance of the sun, and the sounds of killing rose one after another … However, Zhou Qingfeng had secretly crossed the Songhua River and ran from his own Fortress to the shore of Herkulun City. He turned back to look at the scene of the boss battle that was in full swing, then silently flipped into the city like a thief.
Herkulun had already become a dead city, and the death aura that could be seen from the Heavenly Eye was as thick as ink, condensing and not dispersing. More than ten thousand people living in the city were either dead or numb, like living corpses. Jia Gang sighed after a brief inspection. "Chu Ying is ruthless. He stole the souls of all the old and weak people in the city and refined them. As for what kind of spell it is, it's beyond my knowledge, so I can't tell."
Zhou Qingfeng didn't say much. He pursed his lips and walked carefully, always on guard. Although the city was empty and devoid of people, this place was filled with the slightest sound, which made one's hair stand on end.
From the outside of the city to the center of the city, there were no obstructions. When they arrived outside Uța's residence, they noticed a strong rotten smell. Zhou Qingfeng stopped in his tracks, but Jia Gang was overjoyed. The Ghost Cultivator took out a few bottles and jars and used his spiritual energy to absorb the miasma. As he sucked, he said happily, "I'm going to refine Uța's corpse. This filthy thing is just right for me."
The miasma dispersed, revealing piles of white bones on the ground. Jia Gang took a look and sighed, "It's Uța's entire family, men and women, young and old, all of them are here. This is a genocide. No wonder the resentment here is so strong. I'm afraid it will become a barren land in the future, haunted frequently. "
Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to step on the ground. The puppet goat carried him and hopped back and forth among the white bones until they reached the courtyard where Uța lived. This was originally the tallest and most luxurious place in the city. But now, it seemed to have experienced the erosion of hundreds of years, becoming mottled and withered. The logs used to build the walls had decayed and loosened in just a few days. They would break at a touch, revealing holes.
Zhou Qingfeng was surprised and asked Jia Gang, "Will there be any ghosts in this place?"
"Probably not." Jia Gang felt like a fish in water in this gloomy place. He walked into the courtyard in a flash. He looked around and collected many treasures of the Ghost Cultivator. He was overjoyed.
Zhou Qingfeng saw that he had either found some black and smelly blood or jewels possessed by ghosts. He only shook his head when he saw them. He had no intention of sharing them. He passed through the courtyard and walked into the main hall. He then went to a pile of stones in the backyard that was five to six meters high.
This was the place.
The pile of stones looked ordinary, but it was the ancestral temple that the shaman had built for the Uța family. The stones were piled up and the middle was empty. The ancestral temple of several generations of the Uța family was in it. But now, this place had been destroyed. The entire ancestral temple that was made up of stones had completely collapsed, covering the ground.
He was dumbfounded because the Uța's treasure vault was under this ancestral temple. To open the vault, he had to find a way to move a few tons or even a dozen tons of stones away from the ground.
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head and looked at Jia Gang. Jia Gang turned into black smoke and drilled into the ground. After a while, he appeared again and said, "There is a restriction underground. I can't go in. I still have to move these stones and open the door of the treasure vault. "
The battle outside the city was in full swing, but inside the city, they had to do hard work.
Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to get down from the puppet goat and use the statue of heroes to summon the Black Warriors. Everyone helped out. Jia Gang also used a spell to summon more than a dozen vengeful spirits to control. The group began to clean up the collapsed stones on the ground.
Just as Zhou Qingfeng and the others were exhausted, another group of people came in from outside the city. They also carefully approached the courtyard where the Uța family lived. The person in the lead was Dashan who escaped last night. This old slave master of Heculun brought the last few sons of his family and was eager to take advantage of the situation.
"While those ruthless people outside the city are fighting, let's go get the family's treasure first. This Heculun is finished. We have to go somewhere else to rebuild our family. "Dashan was already in dire straits, but in order to restore the family's glory, he had to take the risk. He had the same thought as Zhou Qingfeng. He felt that the treasure would definitely be his.
But before Dashan reached Uța's residence, he suddenly saw a row of clear footprints on the ground. Normal footprints were fine, but a row of goat hooves was very suspicious.
"Goat? It's the puppet that Zhou Qingfeng was riding. "Dashan cursed in his heart. At the same time, he ordered his son to get ready to fight. "This little bastard actually dared to come into the city. He's got some guts. Let's go take a look and see what's going on. "
Standing more than 20 meters away, this distance was even beyond the range of the Sky Mending Stone's hearing range. Dashan, on the other hand, used a bone spell to detect sounds from afar. He could hear a few intermittent whispers in the wind. At first, it was all Zhou Qingfeng complaining about being tired.
Dashan sneered and said, "Luckily, I destroyed the ancestral temple before I left. This Han kid can move the stones for us. When he's half dead from exhaustion, we'll kill him. "
Dashan, this old fox, was very patient. He silently judged Zhou Qingfeng's progress in moving the stones and decided when to make a move. But after waiting for more than two hours, he suddenly heard a joyful voice, "Oh, the cloth banner in the stone is a treasure."
Cloth banner? Inside the stone?
Dashan was stunned. He didn't know what it was.
The joyful voice belonged to Jia Gang. He continued happily, "The Soul Summoning Cloth Banner hanging in the temple is made from wild spider silk. This material isn't too rare, but the ancestral temple of Uța was built more than a hundred years ago. This cloth banner was probably hung more than a hundred years ago.
After more than a hundred years of worship, it has already become a spiritual object. This thing is very effective for drawing talismans. The thing is that this kind of thing takes years to make. It's priceless and can't be found anywhere. I didn't expect to find such a harvest after tearing down the stone temple of Uța. More importantly, there's such a thick stack of cloth, enough to draw more than two hundred talismans. Great, great. "
Jia Gang said 'great' twice in a row. Dashan's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He was also a member of Uța's clan. He could imagine the two bandits plundering the inheritance left by their ancestors. This ancestral temple was built more than a hundred years ago. It was more than two hundred years ago, okay? When the Daming Dynasty was first established, this ancestral temple was built here.
Dashan's sons also vaguely heard this and their faces showed anger.
Dashan shook his head and signaled his sons not to act rashly. He meant, 'It's okay. If the two bandits didn't mention it, we wouldn't know that the cloth banner in this ancestral temple is a treasure. We'll let them keep it for now. We'll go and snatch it back later. '
Therefore, Dashan and the others could only remain calm and continue to listen to Zhou Qingfeng and Jia Gang continue to dig and move rocks. Not long after, they heard another cry of surprise. This time, it was Zhou Qingfeng who was cursing. 'Oh my, so unlucky. Who hung such a skull in the temple? Scared me! '
Jia Gang's voice sounded again. This ghost cultivator seemed to have picked up the skull mentioned by Zhou Qingfeng and studied it carefully. He said, "This isn't an ordinary skull. This should be the skull of the ancestor of Uța's clan. This skull is good. Hey, Little Zhou, you can take all the cloth banners, but don't fight with me over this thing. This is something only we ghost cultivators can use. "
"I just want to know what this scary skull can be used for." Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"The owner of this skull must have been an expert when he was alive. Look at the fine bone structure, it's light and sturdy. Moreover, it's naturally compatible with spiritual energy. This is the best choice for crafting a skull staff. Especially since this skull has received hundreds of years of incense in this temple. It has a large amount of wish power that can double the power of my spells. To me, this is naturally a good thing. "
Jia Gang was even more excited when he saw this skull than when he saw the Soul Summoning Banner. This thing was really very useful to him. With it, this adventure in Ehekulun was worth it.
When Zhou Qingfeng heard that it was a skull staff, he wasn't a necromancer, so he naturally didn't mind. He waved his hand and had Jia Gang take it away. Dashan's sons, on the other hand, were furious and sorrowful. Their ancestor's skull was taken away by someone to be used as a magic tool. How could they bear it? Even if they couldn't bear it, they had to bear it. Dashan pressed his palms together with a serious expression, indicating that they couldn't mess up the situation.
There was another round of commotion in the ancestral temple. Zhou Qingfeng and Jia Gang were breathing heavily as they continued to work. After a while, Zhou Qingfeng shouted: "What kind of treasure is this stone slab?"
Jia Gang answered: "It's not a treasure, it's the entrance to the treasure cave. We're finally done. Ah, be careful, this entrance is a bit strange "
"Wait a minute, this strange thing is also a treasure, right? Let me take it. "
"Don't, Zhou brat, this thing is too vicious, it's not suitable for you. Let me, a ghost cultivator, do it. I'm good at this kind of thing "
"Don't move, I think I can do it too"
"You're a man, letting others know that you're using such a sneaky thing is too shameful, don't waste it"
"Who said that? I think it's fine. My god, this thing is a bit tricky. Quickly suppress it, I'm going to take the treasure "
Hearing the commotion in front of them, Dashan's sons once again became anxious. They surrounded their father, their eyes full of questions — — what item of our ancestor is going to be taken advantage of this time?
Dashan was confused, not knowing what was going on in front of him. He waved his hand again, emphasizing — — endure, let those two do whatever they want first. There were all kinds of traps in the treasure cave, they'd have to suffer.
