175: Chapter 175 Slaughtering Pigs

After dinner, Chen Hu used the excuse of needing to Cultivate to lock himself in the study, instructing everyone not to disturb him.

For this reason, he even had Zhao Zilong stand guard outside the study.

After latching the study door,

Chen Hu activated his Earth Escape Divine Ability and left.

Escaping outside the city in one go, Chen Hu took out the Flying Combat Puppet Card.

"Activate!"

The next moment, a giant mechanical bird appeared before Chen Hu.

He jumped onto the mechanical bird, and with a thought, a transparent energy shield enveloped him.

"Take off!"

The next moment, the mechanical bird soared into the sky and flew towards Lingzhou.

Tonight, Chen Hu intended to play the part of a master thief.

This Puppet's maximum flight speed could reach 10,000 li per hour.

Lingzhou and Linjiang Prefecture were about 1,800 li apart.

Therefore, it didn't take long for him to arrive outside Lingzhou City.

He had the mechanical bird descend below the clouds and used his Spiritual Sense to observe for a while.

Chen Hu adjusted his flight direction, and before long, he arrived above a large farmstead.

Ordering the mechanical bird to land near the large farmstead, he put it away.

Chen Hu then activated his Earth Escape Divine Ability and tunneled into the farmstead.

"Found it!"

Soon, he found the grain warehouse inside the farmstead.

It had not been long since the autumn harvest.

The grain in this farmstead had not yet been transported away, or perhaps, they intended to store it here indefinitely.

Emerging from beneath the grain warehouse, Chen Hu enveloped the entire warehouse with his Spiritual Sense and silently chanted "Collect."

Suddenly, all the grain in the warehouse disappeared.

Immediately, Chen Hu tunneled to the next grain warehouse.

"Collect!"

There were a total of 18 grain warehouses in this farmstead, 17 of which were full.

The remaining one only had a third of its capacity filled with grain.

"Done!"

After collecting all the grain from the warehouses in the first farmstead, Chen Hu immediately rushed to the second farmstead.

Before he knew it,

more than an hour had passed.

The grain in the warehouses of the eight farmsteads under Mingjian Villa had been completely cleaned out by Chen Hu.

Immediately after, he activated his Earth Escape Divine Ability and headed towards a winery belonging to Mingjian Villa.

With the cheat that was his Spiritual Sense,

it only took him a few seconds to find the winery's warehouse.

He tunneled into the warehouse.

Chen Hu enveloped all the wine jars with his Spiritual Sense and silently chanted "Collect."

In no time at all, the wine stored in the winery had been completely cleaned out by him.

Thus, he rushed to the second winery.

Following the same method, the wine in this winery was also completely cleaned out.

Thinking that it was still early,

Chen Hu tunneled directly towards Lingzhou City.

Soon, Chen Hu tunneled into Lingzhou City.

After emerging from underground, he soared into the air and landed on a building over ten meters high.

Looking around, he found the entire city brilliantly lit, showing signs of prosperity.

He just didn't know how long this prosperity would last.

Soon, Chen Hu composed himself and began to observe.

He had never been to Lingzhou City before.

Even though Granny Long had noted down the addresses of Mingjian Villa's properties and drawn a map, he still couldn't find them without observing them first.

Quickly.

Through observation and comparing it with the map drawn by Granny Long,

Chen Hu locked onto an address.

This address was a large textile shop belonging to Mingjian Villa.

With a few flashes of movement, Chen Hu arrived near the textile shop.

He released his Spiritual Sense.

Everything inside the textile shop was reflected in Chen Hu's mind.

Through Chen Hu's scanning, he saw this textile shop stored over a hundred thousand bolts of ordinary cloth, and in addition, there were ten thousand bolts of high-quality silk and satin.

All the items combined were worth at least seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

Of course, with so many goods, there were naturally guards watching over them.

He landed back on the ground.

He activated his Earth Escape Divine Ability.

In just a few breaths, Chen Hu emerged from the floor of a warehouse.

"Collect!"

In an instant, the high-quality silk and satin in this warehouse disappeared.

Then, he tunneled to another warehouse; this one contained ordinary cloth.

"Collect!"

Over thirty thousand bolts of ordinary cloth were now in his hands.

The third warehouse.

The fourth warehouse.

All collected.

"Time to leave!"

Chen Hu activated his Earth Escape Divine Ability and left; from beginning to end, the guards never noticed that the four warehouses were already empty.

Climbing to a high vantage point to get his bearings,

Chen Hu found Mingjian Villa's second shop—a grain store.

Soon, Chen Hu tunneled into the grain store.

This grain store only stored over 12,000 shi of grain.

"Collect! Collect! Collect!"

Soon, the grain in this store was completely cleaned out by him.

Then he headed to the next shop.

Before long, Chen Hu tunneled into a large salt shop.

"Collect, collect, collect!"

In a few breaths, over 20,000 shi of salt were all collected by him.

Before he knew it,

Chen Hu had already cleared out the supplies from over fifty shops belonging to Mingjian Villa.

He had to stop.

It wasn't that he had developed a conscience, but rather that the space inside his Storage Ring was full.

Moreover, there were only a few supply and goods shops left.

The rest were brothels, restaurants, gambling dens, and so on.

Even if he went, he wouldn't be able to collect many supplies or items.

The next moment, Chen Hu tunneled back into the ground.

Quickly.

Chen Hu appeared outside Lingzhou City.

The time for the Flying Combat Puppet had expired.

To get back, he could only use a Teleportation Card.

With a thought, a Teleportation Card appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

The next moment.

Chen Hu disappeared from where he was and appeared 100 li away.

Then, his body disappeared again.

After doing this eighteen times,

he had appeared outside the city of Linjiang Prefecture.

That speed was much faster than the Flying Combat Puppet flying towards Lingzhou City.

Activating his Earth Escape Divine Ability again,

Chen Hu returned to his study.

His gaze fell into the Storage Ring, and seeing it packed full, Chen Hu couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

The next moment.

Chen Hu walked out of the study.

Seeing General Zhao Zilong standing straight outside the door, he said in a gentle voice: "General Zhao Zilong, go back and rest!"

"Yes!"

After General Zhao Zilong left, Chen Hu went to the secret chamber in the middle courtyard.

Then he released the sacks of grain.

Soon, the secret chamber was filled.

He then went to the secret chamber in the back courtyard.

Granny Long, who was Cultivating, immediately stood up to greet him.

Chen Hu waved his hand.

He continued to release the grain, though he still left Granny Long some space to move around.

Walking out of the secret chamber,

Chen Hu had an idea.

He released a fat pig from the hibernation space of the Animal Card.

The pig, having just awakened, realized it was in an unfamiliar environment and immediately tried to run away.

However, Chen Hu, who was well-prepared, immediately used his Spiritual Sense to bind it.

But the pig was unwilling to submit and began to struggle while squealing.

Suddenly, the women living in the back courtyard all ran out to see what the fuss was about.

"Oh my, brother-in-law, where did you get a pig from?" Liu Xianglan asked curiously as she looked at the big fat pig in front of her.

"Husband, what is this?"

Liu Xiangyue also asked.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing? Are you planning to slaughter the pig and make pork dishes?" Nangong Hongyan teased.

"The next part is the moment to witness a miracle, everyone, don't blink!"

Chen Hu smiled mysteriously, and an Animal Upgrade Card appeared in his hand.

The next moment.

The Animal Card completed its lock-on.

"Use!"

A light, invisible to others, shot from Chen Hu's hand and entered the pig's body.

Then, the women noticed that the fat pig's body began to expand rapidly, and its white fur quickly turned black.

At the same time, two tusks emerged from its head.

"Roar!"

The transformed beast let out an angry roar, wanting to break free from the shackles of Chen Hu's Spiritual Sense.

"This is a Strange Beast!"

Nangong Hongyan exclaimed, then looked at Chen Hu with shocked eyes; just a moment ago, this pig was clearly just an ordinary pig, how did it become a Strange Beast in such a short time?

"Ruyi, come and finish it!"

Chen Hu said to his personal maid.

"Yes!"

Chen Hu quickly returned to the room, took out a long sword, and stabbed it into the Strange Beast pig's neck, while Zhizhi quickly brought a wooden basin and placed it under the pig's neck.

As Ruyi pulled out the long sword, blood began to spray from the pig's wound.

However, it all landed in the wooden basin.

However, this pig seemed to have an abundant amount of blood.

One basin was actually not enough to hold it, fortunately, Rushuang brought another wooden basin in time.
