Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 222 0221: Captive Beasts

After listening to Luo Dingran's brief narration, Cheng Zongyang looked at the tokens and said:

"Since it belongs to the Huangfu family, it means that the hidden treasure is more than this. Half of the treasure of a super family would be worth tens of millions of taels."

At this time, a soul slave came in with four cleaned weapons and handed them to Luo Dingran.

After Luo Dingran took it, he handed one of them to Cheng Zongyang for inspection and said:
"A family's greatest reliance and foundation is not money, but martial arts techniques, martial arts skills, elixirs, prescriptions, secret recipes, etc. With these, the descendants of the declining family can make a comeback with these if they are a little more motivated.

My Lord, according to my guess, most of this half of the treasure is probably this type of resources, with a small part being money. It is even possible that the other half of the treasure is all here."

While Cheng Zongyang was listening, he also examined the weapon in his hand.

-

【Hundred Forged Sword】

Introduction: It is made of meteorite iron and several metals, forged through special secret methods, and finally made through blood sacrifice.

Grade: white

Durability: 138/500
Points: 30
-

“It’s really white grade.”

Cheng Zongyang put it on the table, not interested. The durability is only a little over a hundred points, and the internal aging and damage are already very serious.

Even the fine long swords given to Ma San and his men had only been worn down a few points so far. It would take a long time to wear down 500 points.

But it was still okay to leave it to the soul slaves. As for the weapons and armor in those boxes, he estimated that they were not of the entry-level grade.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Luo Dingran, returned to the previous topic, and said:
"Whether there are other treasures or not, these are big profits. If there are more, it shouldn't be a problem to find them with the mole beast. You should start cleaning these up, especially the data, to see if there is anything valuable. As for the gold and silver, report to me after counting them."

Luo Dingran cupped his hands: "Yes, sir."

Cheng Zongyang looked at the people outside who were busy cleaning up those things, and decided not to just wait there, but went back outside to see what was going on.

It won’t be too late to understand it slowly after all the supplies here are cleared out.

cave.

When Cheng Zongyang came out, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable due to the sudden change in light, but being in the darkness of the cave was more comfortable than being under bright lights.

After a moment, after getting used to the brightness of the fire, Cheng Zongyang looked at the mole digging and suddenly laughed.

However, the stone gate had been dug out with a central hole, and the mole beast was widening the width of the hole.

"Little Mole, let me try." Cheng Zongyang walked over at this time.

When the mole heard this, it was obviously reluctant, but due to Cheng Zongyang's absolute obedience, it could only walk aside.

Coming to the stone gate, Cheng Zongyang circulated his true energy again, flowing it on his right palm. Looking at the edge of the cave entrance, he suddenly slapped it!
"boom!"

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, the stone door exploded under the impact of this force, and the stone door exploded toward the outside, also lifting the vegetation covering the cave entrance.

Dust billowed and gravel fell.

Cheng Zongyang and the mole beast didn't care about the falling rubble from the cave. He waved the dust in front of him and squinted his eyes to look outside.

It was already bright outside, but he was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he collected the fragments of the stone door on the ground into the wilderness world.

Since the mole likes it, I will use it as a "cat scratching board" from now on.

"I'll put it away for you. You can keep it to sharpen your nails in the future." Cheng Zongyang said to the mole with a smile.

"Chichi~" The mole beast nodded happily, and then followed Cheng Zongyang out. This kind of challenging stone is rare.

When he got outside, Cheng Zongyang turned around and looked back, and saw that there was a lot of vegetation hanging from the entrance of the cave, and most of them were creepers, covering half of the mountain wall.

The outer wall of the stone gate that had just been taken was covered with moss and the like, and after years of wind and rain, it was no different in color from the mountain wall. Add to that the climbing vines and it was covered, who would have thought that this place would be the treasure hiding place of the Huangfu family.

The entrance of the cave was located next to a stream, which was wide and turbulent.

“Isn’t this the river that connects the inner and outer mountains?”

Cheng Zongyang thought about it and felt that it was impossible. He went deep into the inner mountains, so it should be a stream flowing deep in the inner mountains. And the water volume of the stream should be much larger than that of the river at the junction.

"Chiji~!" Suddenly, the mole's little eyes locked onto the water surface and it chirped vigilantly.

Cheng Zongyang pulled his eyes back and looked towards the water surface. The next moment, a huge water python rushed out of the water like a sharp arrow, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards Cheng Zongyang!
"Ji!!" The mole beast was furious and actually ignored him and attacked its master!
The strong body came in front of Cheng Zongyang and blocked him behind him. At that moment, the giant python also came in front of him.

The speed of the python's sneak attack is no advantage compared to the mole beast's super sense of smell and hearing!
He immediately raised his muscular claws and easily grabbed the python's head. The next second, he grabbed the python's head and smashed it heavily to the ground.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the python's head hit the ground, and its body flipped over. Its tail hit the water, splashing countless water.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang, who had already retreated some distance, also smiled.

The nearly 35-jin mole beast has a natural animal strength and can lift objects times its own weight. Although this giant python is big, it is really not enough in front of the mole beast's animal strength.

Seeing the giant python being suppressed in an instant after its sneak attack failed, Cheng Zongyang said, "Just cripple it. Don't kill it."

The mole beast snorted twice, grabbed the giant python that was stunned by the mole beast, and hit it again. It was not until the giant python was dying and its tail was unable to curl up that Cheng Zongyang took it into the wilderness world.

"Wait." Cheng Zongyang left a sentence and entered the wilderness world.

The giant python that occupied most of the floor of the cabin naturally alarmed Luo Dingran and others.

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and then took a look at it.

It turned out to be just a one-star monster. This was within Cheng Zongyang's expectations. Ordinary creatures would not actively seek death after sensing the aura of a mole beast.

But keeping it alive is also a way to try to see if it can be kept in captivity so that Zhang Jinquan can make good use of it.

He immediately dragged it to the pharmacy.

When Zhang Jinquan learned of Cheng Zongyang's idea, he smiled and said, "That's a good point. We can use it to draw blood for a long time. As long as we suppress it well, we don't have to worry about it escaping."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "There is a magnet, you can try it, if it doesn't work, just tie it up with something."

"Okay, just leave it to me." Zhang Jinquan said with a smile.

Cheng Zongyang was not worried. With Zhang Jinquan's strength, it was not a problem to suppress this one-star beast.

When he left, he took away ten more red blood pills.

There is no way, the mole beast is too awesome. Whether it is for finding the treasure or for taking the initiative to protect the master just now, he must be rewarded handsomely!

Back outside again, Cheng Zongyang gave the Red Blood Pill to the mole beast, and the mole beast saw this, and took it and ate it with two chirps. Cheng Zongyang looked around and said, "Let's go, find the way back first."

His original plan was to go into the mountains for a few days and then go back to stay for a few days. But since he had found the Huangfu family's treasure, he would have to go into the mountains again to stay for a while after going back to explain a few things.

Go back up through the hole in the cave and take the magnet.

The mole beast followed Cheng Zongyang obediently, occasionally throwing a soybean-sized red blood pill into its mouth and chewing it in a pretentious manner, which made Cheng Zongyang quite amused.

This pill is a normal size for humans, but for the mole beast, it is probably just the right size to fill the gap between teeth. It is like a person eating a green bean and enjoying it very much.

But the mole didn't care at all. It was unclear whether it liked the taste or the effect of the pill.

Cheng Zongyang had lost his way and was following the mole. Relying on the mole's sense of smell, he returned safely to the small waterfall.

After checking the situation of the people in the cave, he left again when he saw that there was no problem. But before entering the village, he entered the Wild World Fresh Warehouse again to take some things back.

A lot of things appear in the inventory, and with the herbs and fruits brought back by the hunting team, you can take a lot with you.

In the fresh-keeping warehouse.

Cheng Zongyang selected a lot of crops from the wilderness world.

For example: seven-star fruit that can enhance immunity; white moon mushroom that can replenish blood and nourish qi; sesame oil grass that can enhance flavor and fragrance; several nutritious wild vegetables, etc.

There are more than a dozen species, all of which can be cultivated using medicinal solutions.

Finally, he took away more than a dozen black-striped fish fry from the farm, which have the effect of replenishing blood and qi and strengthening the body. This is a freshwater fish and can be kept in the village.

As for the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., he didn't take them with him. He had gotten quite a few when he refreshed his inventory, and except for some left here, he had basically sent the rest to the village.

After thinking about it, he took more than a dozen weapons and armor. These weapons were standard equipment, not entry-level.

The mark of Huangfu on it had been erased by Cheng Zongyang, so there was no need to worry about it being seen.

He took the big backpack, a bamboo tube filled with fish and a big bag and left.

After returning outside, Cheng Zongyang gave the backpack and bag to the mole, and went to the village carrying the bamboo tube.

In just a quarter of an hour, they returned to the village entrance. The first person to see Cheng Zongyang was Zhou Zhenqi, who shouted in surprise:

"Cousin is back!"

At this time, Zhou Zhenqi, Zhou Zhennan and Cheng Zongliang were tinkering with something behind the mountain.

After hearing Zhou Zhenqi's words, the latter two looked towards the direction of the mountain.

As a result, when the two saw Cheng Zongyang, their faces changed, and Cheng Zongliang turned around and ran towards the village without saying a word.

Only then did Zhou Zhennan react. He ignored Zhou Zhenqi and ran after him.

Zhou Zhenqi watched the two of them run away, still unaware of the situation. It was only when he saw the pot of snake meat and chicken stewing beside him that he realized what was going on.

These two are ungrateful!!
But when he wanted to run, he was already too slow. Cheng Zongyang came to him with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhou Zhenqi is usually a brave man, otherwise he wouldn't be so naughty as to act like a prankster with his cousin.

But he didn't dare to act rashly in front of his cousin.

"Cousin, cousin." Zhou Zhenqi said with a sad face, "You're back so soon. Didn't you say you'd be away for seven days? There's still one day left."

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the fire nearby and said with a half-smile: "You remember the time better than I do. Why, don't you want to see me?"

"Where?" Zhou Zhenqi said with a wry smile. "It would be great if you could go home safely."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head and asked, "Have you left the safe zone? Who gave you the purse?"

He had checked the magnet before and found no problem. Whoever wanted to go out could only go in and out with their purse.

There are no snakes in the village, but now these three guys are stewing dragon and phoenix soup in the mountain behind the village. They really know how to eat.

Zhou Zhenqi's face tensed up and he quickly shook his head: "No, no. We didn't leave the mountain. We got the snake from Uncle Cheng in the pharmacy. The chicken was taken from the chicken coop."

At the end of his speech, Zhou Zhenqi lowered his head in embarrassment.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said, "When it's cooked, bring it to your Uncle Cheng and explain it clearly. Otherwise, he will think the snake ran away, and it would be a waste of manpower to look for it."

Seeing that Cheng Zongyang had no intention of punishing him, he was relieved. But before he could respond, he heard Cheng Zongyang say:

"After dinner tonight, find the two of them and have them come to my study together."

"Ah? Oh, sure! I definitely will!"

He thought he would be scolded at night, but after dragging the other two disloyal people into it, he felt relieved.

The news that Cheng Zongyang had brought the mole back spread quickly.

Cheng Zongyang brought the mole and the things to the door of his house. He handed the two things to the warehouse for registration and then handed them over to the people from various halls for processing.

Zhou Zhennan and Cheng Zongliang also hung their heads, not daring to look at Cheng Zongyang from behind the crowd, fearing they would be scolded.

Cheng Zongyang ignored them and entered the half-built conference hall with several elders.

Cheng Zongyang briefly described what happened during this trip, but did not mention the Huangfu family's treasure, as there was no need to.

But I told you about the "Misty Valley" so that everyone could have a mental impression of it.

The weapons and armor brought back are evidence.

Cheng Guanghai and the others did not doubt him, and said solemnly: "It seems that there really is a secret, otherwise how could there be weapons and equipment? Judging from the appearance of those weapons, they must have been there for a long time. But they are not rusted at all and can still be used, which means that these weapons and equipment are made of good materials. After a little grinding and cleaning, the village guards can also use them."

Zhou Hansong nodded in agreement: "Not bad. But are you sure there are no strange beasts?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have to take the mole beast there again in a couple of days, so it might take a little longer. Also, let's see if we can catch a strange beast and bring it back to raise. This will also make it easier for Second Uncle to study and extract blood."

Hearing this proposal, Cheng Guangshan thought it was a good one, but he also reminded: Although the proposal is good and I personally agree with it, safety comes first, don't take risks. "

"Yes, be steady." Zhou Hanchang also said. "Warriors will always encounter various things when they go into the mountains. If you are not careful, even if you are very strong, you may get into trouble. You have to be steady."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "I will."

After the brief meeting, the elders went about their business.

As time went on to the evening, after dinner, Cheng Zongyang returned to his study to organize his ideas for the dark web organizational structure.

Since those three guys are restless, give them something to learn.
