51: Counting items

The night wind, like a blood-stained sickle blade carrying a fishy stench, wandered through every corner of the Fengsha Stronghold.

Under the cover of night.

The ground of the entire Fengsha Stronghold was dyed red by crimson blood, and the ground was covered with Corpses.

Thud.

As the stalwart body of the Fengsha Stronghold Master collapsed.

Xiao Shi casually picked up the items dropped by the opponent after death.

He threw them into his Storage Pouch.

Then he began to pick up the dropped items near the numerous Corpses around.

There were only four bandits at or above the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level in the Fengsha Stronghold in total.

All the other bandits were below the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level.

In fact, even before Xiao Shi achieved a Breakthrough to the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level, with his strength at that time, he was fully capable of wiping out this stronghold.

It was just that his personality was cautious.

He felt that only after achieving a Breakthrough to the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level could he ensure nothing would go wrong.

Now, in the annihilation of this Fengsha Stronghold.

It was completely effortless.

Everyone died with a single slash.

Even someone at the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level like the Fengsha Stronghold Master met the end of the battle with just a single slash in front of him.

This kind of risk-free, completely one-sided massacre was what Xiao Shi was passionate about.

As the saying goes, crushing noobs is temporarily thrilling, and constantly crushing them is always thrilling.

Low risk, high reward, simply wonderful!

In terms of headcount.

There were probably over two hundred bandits in the entire Fengsha Stronghold.

Xiao Shi was not sure if all the bandits were killed by him.

Anyway, as long as they were seen by him, not a single one managed to escape.

Harvesting so many Entering Martial Rank items all at once...

was something he had never experienced before.

The time with the most harvest previously.

was still the kills at Liuyue Mountain when executing his first mission.

But even that time, he only harvested a total of five Entering Martial Rank items and one Qi Warrior Grade item.

This time...

he unexpectedly harvested over two hundred Entering Martial Rank items in one go!

This made Xiao Shi's heart extremely excited.

After killing all the bandits in the stronghold, he then began to scavenge inside the stronghold.

Although killing these bandits had already dropped quite a few items, Xiao Shi also planned to take away other things inside the stronghold together.

It was just a pity...

this stronghold was not wealthy.

After searching around, he didn't find anything valuable.

However, he discovered a bizarre scene within the stronghold.

In a certain part of the stronghold.

Xiao Shi was surprised to find that there were numerous Corpses existing here!

At first glance...

there were at least several hundred Corpses.

densely covering the ground.

At the same time, on the forehead of every Corpse, there was a black nail.

This eerie scene made Xiao Shi frown.

Not knowing if it was due to the effect of the nails, all these Corpses were well preserved without any decomposition.

"Why are they piling up so many Corpses here?"

Xiao Shi knew that the Corpses of the Night Watch could be exchanged for bounties at the Senluo Organization.

But these Corpses were not the Corpses of the Night Watch.

This made him very puzzled.

"It seems that this bandit stronghold still has unknown secrets."

However, there were no longer any living people inside the stronghold now.

Xiao Shi could not know the secrets within.

He thought for a moment.

and simply set a fire in the Fengsha Stronghold.

No matter what the purpose was.

Xiao Shi did not plan to leave these Corpses behind. Together with those bandits of the Fengsha Stronghold, they would all turn into ashes in the firelight.

"Done!"

After doing all this, Xiao Shi's figure moved, and he quietly left this place.

And about half an hour after he left.

Swish!

Two figures shrouded in black robes hurried over from a distance.

But by the time they arrived,

the entire Fengsha Stronghold had already turned into a charred ruin.

"Dammit!! We are a step too late!!"

The two people looked at the ruins in front of them, their bodies trembling with anger.

When they received the call for help from the Fengsha Stronghold Master,

they had rushed over at the first moment.

But who would have thought...

they were still a step too late.

And what made them most furious was that the person who wiped out the Fengsha Stronghold actually set fire to burn this place down!!

This made their hearts bleed.

The Fengsha Stronghold was destroyed, so be it.

They didn't care.

But those Corpses in the Fengsha Stronghold were extremely important to them.

Yet now they had all been burned to nothing by a fire.

"Let me know who did this, and I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

The two Black Robed Men gritted their teeth.

...

After returning to Jin Yun City,

Xiao Shi began to tally up this harvest.

Since there were too many items this time, he first made a simple classification.

Among them, there were sixteen weapons, twenty-seven Medicinal Pills, thirty-two kinds of various Materials, five Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, and the rest were some sundries.

After completing the classification, Xiao Shi distinguished these items by quality again.

They were mainly divided into high quality and general quality.

Most of the items were of general quality.

There were six high-quality items in total.

Xiao Shi immediately checked these six high-quality items primarily.

Xiao Shi looked at these six high-quality items.

The two Heaven And Earth Treasures were very important, allowing him to bring his Body Refining times to seven!

If there were two more Heaven And Earth Treasures, he could complete the final nine Body Refinings.

As for the remaining items.

[Qi And Blood Surging Pill] could boost a large amount of Qi and blood in a short time, but had a time limit.

The remaining Formation and Puppet.

Xiao Shi prepared to try using them first to see the specific effect.
