Chapter 403 The "3" in the Tomb and the Roadblocker (6K monthly ticket required)
Wu Lao Zhuang is particularly popular today.

Xu Shu passed through the town and took the most remote path up the mountain. On the way, he met several little guys who came to hunt for treasure.

After all, although the red moon phenomenon only appeared for a moment, a large number of people around saw it.

Although most of the people inside had no idea of ​​the secret, their instincts still drove them to swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

They are weak, have simple training, and poor equipment. Some of them are not even extraordinary people, but just small teams similar to scavengers' mutual aid associations.

These people didn't dare to enter the tense town to look for treasure, but they were also reluctant to give up this opportunity that obviously seemed to bring them enormous wealth, so they found another way.

Some were rummaging through garbage on the outskirts of the village, some were diving into the water to find out what was going on, some were groping and wandering in the sewers, and some were trying their luck on the mountains that only shepherds would occasionally pass by.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh that the population of Penglai District was still a little too large.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the mass grave in the shade of the mountain southwest of Wulaozhuang is in dangerous terrain, with rugged rocks, jungle covering the sky, and all kinds of poisonous mushrooms and flesh-eating plants growing wildly. It was originally a place with few people, and at first glance it was a completely deserted place.

A place like this is simply not worthy of the attention of those extraordinary people.

Everyone thought that the small town where corpses were scattered on the streets from time to time was the area covered by the Four Bitterness Mysterious Sect.

The scavengers are willing but unable to do anything, and sometimes a cliff caused by mining can stop them.

Around seven o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Shu returned to the mass grave where he and Shui Longyin had lived for nearly a week.

With some hope, he dug in the mass grave.

In the end, just as he expected, he found a clue at the bottom of the pond full of puddles, where Wu Liuzhi had emerged.

After digging several hundred meters deep, we found a very magnificent underground tomb inside the mountain!

"The tomb is so deep! The old thief is so powerful that he could find it. I don't know why this place is covered by a mass grave!" Xu Shu sighed.

Although the scale of this tomb is not very large, it has all the necessary mechanisms and traps, such as poison gas, hidden arrows, snake pits, etc.

If it were in the earlier years, it would be a place that would be enough to cause a large number of tomb robbers to fail.

However, for Xu Shu, these hidden weapons and traps used against ordinary people are no different from mosquito bites.

He didn't follow any rules or routines, and didn't care about any taboos or metaphysics. He just relied on his strong physique to knock down arrows and walls.

He rushed into the main tomb chamber and without saying a word, he slapped the huge coffin lid off, revealing the richly dressed skeleton of the tomb owner and an obviously newer brocade box.

"I heard that tomb robbers who come to steal things and want to get rich must follow the rules and light a candle in the corner. There is a saying that goes 'people light candles, ghosts blow them out'. If the candle goes out, it means the owner is angry, and the tomb robbers must leave in time. The antiques they have obtained must be returned to the original owner, and they are not allowed to take a single cent away..."

Xu Shu touched his chin and thought to himself that he was not a professional bucket digger and was not good at wielding a Luoyang shovel, so he might as well skip the candle process.

Since this place could be occupied by Wu Liuzhi, I think even if there really was another owner here, he probably wouldn't dare to have any objections, or maybe he had already cleared it out.

But to be on the safe side, Xu Shu still activated his spiritual vision and scanned the tomb up and down to check it out.

Although he did not see any ghost or anything like that of his master, he did find a special, flickering trace.

Those were some water stains that were crystal clear in color and had a distinctly dark and corrosive force.

Some of them seeped down from the corners of the tomb walls, and could not be seen without careful observation.

After careful observation, it was discovered that these crystal water stains seemed to have spirits, and a strange symbol was faintly drawn on the surface of the floor tiles under the stone wall.

Xu Shu didn't know what this symbol stood for. He could only judge from its appearance that it looked a bit like the number "3".

"Strange, this water stain feels very new, as if it was formed not long ago. Could it be that it was formed recently?"

He moved closer, knocked on the ground, and found that the stone brick under the "3" was loose.

After prying it open, it was discovered that this small piece of brick looked ordinary, but was actually covered with strange water stains, giving off a faint sweet smell, but also with an obvious dark, initial erosion smell.

"Could it be some rare extraordinary material? It's clearly just a tomb of an ancient mortal noble, but there is such a good thing? Could it have fallen out of the Wu Lao Xuan Sect?"

Xu Shu didn't understand, but he thought it was very likely.

After thinking about it, he decided to take it away.

Although Shui Longyin said that these things are of little use to him, there is a saying that may be a bit unreasonable.

That is, what she, a demigod, thinks is useless may not necessarily be really useless to her!

Xu Shu was also decisive. Without saying a word, he put the "water-soaked brick" that felt warm to the touch and gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity into his pocket.

"This way, even if Shui Longyin and I have a conflict in the future and regret not taking me to join the Wu Lao Xuan Sect, I will have a way out, hehe."

Xu Shu smiled complacently in his heart, turned around and looked at the other burial objects.

These things are actually not that precious to him now.

Especially some porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there may still be people buying them, but the prices are not as valuable as they were in the heyday.

Only the gold artifacts among them are worth some money. Gold has been a hard currency from ancient times to the present, and often plays a supporting role in various research-based extraordinary experiments, but the quantity is too small.

So, after a little thought, Xu Shu chose to be a gentleman and protect the cultural relics - he only took away the gold jewelry and did not take any other antiques.

On the contrary, the long brocade box holds another secret.

Xu Shu concentrated his strength and penetrated into it, loosening the originally tight brocade box. He then discovered that this thing was indeed a storage tool.

There is a different world inside, with a fairly large storage space that is filled to the brim with basic daily necessities, the four treasures of the study, ancient books, as well as experimental equipment on various shelves, reactors, biological sebum, flesh and blood, medicinal plants, etc. The types are very diverse.

Almost at a glance, one can confirm that this is Wu Liuzhi's storage bag.

I don’t know how valuable those experimental materials are, but I won’t talk about them.

In this storage bag, there were dozens of various erosion crystals alone, filling up a small basket!

In addition, there were two boxes of freshly fried food, with a total value of about one million yuan. No one knew where Wu Liuzhi robbed them from, but they were treated as garbage and used to pad the legs of the laboratory table.

"Sure enough! It was easy to get! You are worthy of being the 51st master on the predecessor list. Now I am rich!"

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up and he burst into laughter.

He picked up the crystals and counted them lovingly.

Ten minutes later, most of the smile on Xu Shu's face disappeared.

After some inspection, he found that the quality of this batch of erosion crystals was uneven, and more than 90% of them were only first- or second-order white and green crystals.

And there are only a handful of third-level ones, a pitiful four!

If you calculate it this way, all these crystals added up would only be worth about 2500 contribution points.

For Xu Shu in the past, this was of course an unimaginable huge sum of money.

But now, he could only say that this amount of money was not enough for him to eat for three days.

"How can a master at the peak of the third level have such little wealth?"

But after thinking about it, Xu Shu also understood.

Of course, Wu Liuzhi's entire fortune is not just this amount.

These cultivation resources were probably accumulated by him recently, and he had not yet had time to exchange them for contributions in the city.

So there are even some blood stains on some of the crystals.

And where did the rest of the money go?
There is no doubt that other legacies will of course be converted into contribution points and stored in the "online account" of the upgraded network!
Although Xu Shu can upgrade the driver and take it away, the money in the account will not be transferred due to death.

After the death of a supernatural being, the "contribution points" in his account will naturally be confiscated directly. No one can take it out unless authorized by the array.

However, according to what Xu Shu has learned so far, even the "Astronomical Society", the highest authority in human history, is only qualified to create new drives and does not have the right to transfer the property of a deceased transcendent.

Although the Astronomical Society will recycle and upgrade drivers, this is mainly for the materials used in their production. It can save expenses by directly recycling them and having others reapply for the "low-frequency sequence" to make new drivers.

"Damn you, how dare you bully me!"

Xu Shu, who had no hope of inheriting Wu Liuzhi's huge inheritance, clenched his fists heavily and was very dissatisfied with the great existence that protected the human race.

Of course, although Xu Shu had a strong opinion, he spoke very quietly.

After all, it's not a complete loss.

At least there's a storage bag!
Xu Shu hung the brocade box around his waist, took two steps, and finally understood why Wu Liuzhi didn't carry it with him.

As a storage device, it is a bit too big!

It's not convenient at all. When you hang it around your waist, it hangs down to the ground. It's longer than a damn cow. What kind of storage bag is this?

"You're not willing to change to a new storage bag. Is it because this storage bag has a larger storage space? It seems to be several times larger than my lace bag, but it's not okay to drag it like this..."

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, decided to carry it away on his back, and covered it with it.

At first glance, he seems to have a more scholarly air.

He quietly slipped out of the ancient tomb, covered the top with soil again, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to quietly leave the mass grave.

He was originally on the shady side of the mountain. He passed through the forest and came to the shady side of the mountain, then walked north.

When passing halfway up the mountain, Xu Shu saw a mountain stream. Two stone sculptures of snake heads that were originally covered by bushes were dug out and exposed.

The ground behind it was obviously compacted, as if there was a hidden passage.

A group of well-equipped "archaeological team" personnel are digging here desperately, muttering from time to time:
"Did you hear that?"

"Was there any movement inside just now?"

"It seems like there was an explosion..."

"Master Wang, this can't be moved. This sealing stone is too hard!"

"Mr. Jin, what on earth is this?" the man in sunglasses asked suspiciously.

"Tanlang and Ju Men are in the front, Lu Cun and Wen Qu are behind, Zuo Fu and You Bi, the six stars are good and bad... Hehe, I have been looking for dragons and dividing gold for decades, I will not be wrong, there must be a big tomb here!" The blind old man holding a compass said confidently.

The man in sunglasses heard this and gritted his teeth, "Everyone, work harder! Keep your eyes open and be careful of those snakes! Finish the work tonight, and I'll take care of the night theater tomorrow!"

"Young Master Wang is so generous!" Everyone cheered up and worked harder.

Xu Shu passed by not far away and took a few glances.

This is obviously not a serious archaeological team, but tomb robbers.

He sneered at the tomb robbers' unprofessional behavior, but found that this location seemed to be just two or three hundred meters away from the mass grave in a vertical distance.

"Uh..." Xu Shu's expression suddenly became a little dull.

He found himself solving a puzzle as to why someone would bury a tomb hundreds of meters underground.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt quite embarrassed and passed behind the "archaeological team" at an extremely fast speed.

After a while, he passed the edge of Wu Lao Zhuang's territory.

Heading north for dozens of miles, Xu Shu saw another small town in the distance, and saw an abandoned train roaring into the tunnel far away on the mountainside and leaving the town.

When Xu Shu saw the train going away, he felt relieved, knowing that he had completely left the territory of Wu Lao Zhuang and the center of the fight for treasure.

Next, he planned to go to the town ahead to stay for one night, or wait for the next bus back to the city.

Although he is now much stronger than before and often runs around the wasteland alone, that was during the day and now it is night.

The nights in the wasteland are always full of dangers.

Not to mention those strange dark creatures that would crawl out from the ground at night to bask in the moonlight.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The fact that the moon does not wax or wane makes people subconsciously feel uncomfortable.

Especially after experiencing the red moon ruins just now, Xu Shu became increasingly dissatisfied with the bright full moon above his head.

"Well, let's go have dinner first and fill our stomachs. Anyway, it's absolutely safe on the train. Although the train is slower, it's at least much easier than running back by myself!"

Xu Shu made up his mind and entered the winding mountain road through the trees. He also killed a black spider with a woman's face and a man's arms that was hiding in a tree and trying to attack him.

Normally Xu Shu would be happy when someone delivered something to his door, but unfortunately this was a 'dark creature' and after its death not even a crystal burst out, it slowly turned into black smoke and evaporated.

After walking a few steps on the mountain path, Xu Shu suddenly slowed down and stopped.

Under a broken street lamp ahead, there stood an old man who looked like a beggar, holding a bamboo pole and smoking a pipe.

"..."

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes.

The person is not good!
Without saying a word, he walked directly to the left.

brush!
A burly man nearly three meters tall burst out from the stone wall in the mountain, his bronze muscles exploding like a dragon, and he smiled maliciously at him.

Xu Shu looked back and saw a tall, heavily made-up young woman in a cheongsam emerged from the vortex of shadows, walking gracefully and blocking the way behind.

She crossed her arms over her chest, twisted her waist, and fiddled with a whip in a very seductive manner, as if she had just gotten off work from a SM show at a nightclub.

These three people have a very strong aura and are definitely not ordinary people.

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the old man who was obviously the leader, and asked with great vigilance: "What do you mean?"

At this time, the old man took a puff of his pipe, smiled and blew out smoke rings and said: "Haha, don't get me wrong, I just saw you going in and out of Wu Lao Zhuang, you are very busy! I hope you have found a lot of treasures? We are also destined to be together, I wonder if you are willing to make friends? Our nickname is the Three Friends of Winter, and we are also quite famous in the neighborhood, old man Chensong."

"Luzhu." The beautiful woman smiled charmingly.

"Wu Bai!" The bald man stood there with his hands on his hips, like an iron tower, his voice booming like a huge bell, "Friends should be honest with each other. Brother, you got a mysterious treasure from Wu Lao Zhuang before, right? Take it out and let everyone take a look at its quality!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three people, young and old, male and female, came forward and blocked all of Xu Shu's ways in an instant.

Now Xu Shu understood.

These three people thought they had gained benefits in Wu Lao Zhuang, so they left early, so they followed and prepared to kill people and steal treasures!

"Shui Longyin was right. Wu Lao Zhuang is really a mess..." Xu Shu smiled helplessly and did not answer.

The atmosphere became tense. The burly man Wu Bai was the first to laugh and said, "Brother, this bearded brother didn't even tell us his name. It seems he doesn't want to be friends with us! In that case, leave the Xuanmen secret treasure and your life behind!"

Before he finished his words, Wu Bai roared, took a step forward and attacked Xu Shu first.

The energy and blood in his body surged up crazily, and every time he made a move it was as if a dragon was roaring or a tiger was howling. The strong pressure emanated from him like an ancient ferocious beast.

"Dragon Elephant"!
Extraordinary moves, realm revealed.

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly focused. The three people in front of him were actually third-level masters! This strong man was from the same profession as him, and was also a "Dragon Elephant"!
I don't know which department it belongs to?
He didn't have time to think too much, because the moment Wu Bai made his move, the beautiful woman Lu Zhu next to him also made her move.

She swung the whip, shaking it straight, and shouted angrily: "Cage!!"

Click, click, click!
In an instant, there was an explosive whine in the air, and the space seemed to be folded up, tightly imprisoning Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was suddenly shocked.

He recognized this tactic; it was stage three of the Criminal Path, The Warden!
Luzhu raised the whip again: "Whip!"

She attacked later but arrived first, faster than Wu Bai. Transparent, snake-like protrusions appeared out of thin air and bombarded the motionless Xu Shu.

At this time, the old man Chen Song also took action.

He shook the pipe, and thick bloody mist gushed out, condensing into a straight blood arrow that shot at Xu Shu through the air.

This is the third stage of "Rogue", one of the "Butcher's" signature skills: "Blood coagulated into weapons, piercing the heart and bones"!
Anyone hit by this move will have their Qi and blood damaged, and it will greatly weaken anyone they are dealing with. It is especially effective against the "Dragon Elephant" which is famous for its Qi and blood, and can greatly weaken the opponent's defensive capabilities.

Among the three, "Dragon Elephant" Wu Bai was the first to take action and the last to arrive.

"Hahaha, die!" He roared, following the attack of his two companions, laughing and swinging his fists at Xu Shu's head and smashing it wildly.

Boom boom boom~
The quiet night was torn apart by the sound of explosions. The mountain road was covered with flying stones, the ground was cracked, and smoke and dust billowed, as if the ground was being washed by intensive artillery fire.

This attack, like a violent storm and rain, lasted for a full minute. Wu Bai was still attacking recklessly, while the other two members of the "Three Friends of Winter" were flanking on the side.

Chen Song tapped his pipe and said, "Haha, this guy thought he was well disguised, dressed like a church priest. Unfortunately, as a 'butcher', I can find out the clues! He is an early-stage third-order 'Dragon Elephant'! And he has only been promoted for a short time! It would be fine if he disguised himself as a priest to sneak in and search for treasure, but he left so early for no apparent reason. You can imagine what the reason is!"

Lu Zhu chuckled, "Brother is the one who has the plan! If we were to search by ourselves, it would be time-consuming and laborious. If we really found something, we would have to fight with others before we could leave. I heard that several registered division chief-level experts came here in person! Isn't it wonderful if we grab what's already there?"

At this point, the old man and the young woman looked at each other and laughed sinisterly.

As the combination of a "Warden", a "Butcher", and a "Dragon Elephant", it is easy for him to deal with an early stage enemy of the same level!
The rumbling sound of fighting continued.

The young woman became impatient: "Wu Bo, didn't you eat? It takes so long to give you a living target?"

Just as she finished her words, Wu Bo's difficult cry for help and scream suddenly came from the smoke and dust.

“Hurry…save me! Ah! Ahhhh~”

"What? Not good!"

"What's going on? Can't you beat him?"

The two were shocked when the situation changed.

Chensong quickly waved his pipe to blow away the billowing smoke and dust caused by the battle.

After seeing the scene clearly, they both widened their eyes at the same time.

They saw a huge pit with a diameter of 20 meters in the middle of the road, and lying at the bottom was their powerful teammate, Wu Bo!

He looked like a rag, with bloody holes all over his body from being punched by fists, his intestines and internal organs scattered all over the floor, and his brains beaten out.

At this moment, he had just finished shouting for help, and his breathing was increasing rather than his exhalation, and it was obvious that he was dying.

And his opponent, the bearded dragon elephant in a priest's robe, didn't even have a wound on his body.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Chensong and Luzhu couldn't accept it. The other party was clearly under their control and was just a target to be beaten. How could it turn out like this?
There was no time for them to think, because after Xu Shu hammered Wu Bai into pieces, he pointed at the old man and the young woman, then he flashed and disappeared from their sight.

"what!"

Dust Truffle Bamboo was shocked.

It’s just a “dragon elephant”, so fast that I can’t see it with my naked eyes? ?

How the hell is this possible!
Without saying a word, they retreated quickly.

It seems that both of them realized that the strength of the bearded man in front of them was very powerful, far beyond the judgment of the "butcher" Chen Song about his strength or degree of danger.

In less than a minute, Wu Bai, who usually served as their sandbag and could never be killed no matter how hard they hit him, was beaten to death by the other side!

It is conceivable that if it were me, if I were hit by the opponent, I would definitely be dead!
"This kid is weird, retreat first!" Chen Song saw that the situation was not right and decisively sent a message.

"Yeah!" Lu Zhu nodded.

They looked around with their eyes darting around, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they tried to escape.

Lu Zhu had just finished speaking when she suddenly opened her mouth and looked behind Chen Song in surprise.

"What are you looking at? Uh..."

Chen Song was about to ask a question when he suddenly became alert and felt something was wrong.

He dodged hurriedly while looking back. What answered him was a powerful elbow strike! It kept getting bigger in his sight, and there was no way to dodge it!
It turned out that Xu Shu disappeared just now because he used the technique of "wearing nine and wearing one", transformed into an invisible state, and circled around him two and a half times in an instant, completing the prerequisite of "Gonggong touching the mountain" and using a full-state Iron Mountain Backer!
boom!
With a loud bang, Chen Song's chest was caught off guard and was completely dented. Then it was pierced from front to back, and all the flesh, internal organs, and fat in his chest were turned into a bloody rain and spurted out violently under this elbow strike!

"Puff~Ah! No, it's impossible..." Chen Song fell to the ground and looked down at his chest. He couldn't understand.

Why is it obviously just an early stage "Dragon Elephant"!
He had clearly used his "bloodthirsty skills" to detect the other party's true realm and strength!

It was clearly three of them against one, so everything went as planned!
But how could this happen?
We just wanted to rob...

As his life was rapidly slipping away, Chen Song wanted to get some medicine to save his life, but he found that the violent and raging power had already shattered everything, and he couldn't even move a finger.

As his consciousness gradually blurred, he felt so regretful, yet extremely unwilling as he looked towards the night sky and towards his fleeing companions.

He saw his second sister Luzhu abandon him and run for her life. He saw her being caught up by the bearded pastor. She fought back desperately, but was grabbed and her whole body was crushed in an instant.
clothing.

Then, a huge golden spear pierced her body from bottom to top; and blazing flames burst out from the bearded priest's body, burning her, as dazzling as the scorching sun.

“No~ Help… Spare me, I was wrong ah ah ah ~”

Screams echoed throughout the wilderness.

"Huh... this damn thing can be called... Dragon Elephant? Early stage? Even those masters at the director level are only this strong..." Chen Song's expression suddenly became relieved.

He suddenly felt that he didn't have any big regrets after being defeated by such a strong man.

In the end, he tried his best and watched for a full five minutes.

Seeing with his own eyes the beautiful woman Lu Zhu being stabbed to death, Chen Song couldn't help but reveal the last trace of a smile on his face. His head tilted and he became motionless.
