Chapter 58 News
Soon, the two entered the outskirts of the market town.
There was no one on the road.
Every door was closed.
Many houses were destroyed in the chaos of last night.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and many corpses were lying on the road. They were almost all looted, and only the clothes to cover their bodies were left.
Occasionally, some mortal women and children sat blankly at the door of their destroyed houses, with lifeless eyes.
Even crying and wailing, they tried their best to suppress the sound, for fear of causing other troubles.
It was just a short night.
The outskirts of the market town had changed.
Those who could survive in this situation were either strong or weak...
Zhou Changwang and the others had a solemn look on their faces.
Especially when they saw the strong spiritual energy remaining on some corpses and the wounds on their bodies that were obviously left by magic weapons.
Strong people above the middle stage of Qi training could not escape death.
If they continued to stay in the outer area, would it be the same ending?
The two of them didn't know, but they were both relieved.
Suddenly, a monk rushed out from a corner. Seeing the two of them, he was startled and instinctively raised the magic weapon in his hand, then quickly put it away. Without any nonsense, he took small steps back and slowly retreated from the corner.
Zhou Changwang and Qian Xiaoyue looked at each other and walked in another direction tacitly.
They were also afraid of meeting this person again, or even being ambushed, so they would rather take a detour.
Although if they fought, they were two to one and had enough confidence to defeat the other party, but who knew if he had any accomplices?
Moreover, the chaos had just passed, and the order in the market must have been restored. If the guards were sent out for patrol and happened to see this scene... then no matter which side won, they would not be able to escape death.
Any law enforcer would never tolerate the chaos at this moment.
Next, there was no danger along the way.
The two of them returned to their rental place smoothly.
Looking at their houses, which were still intact, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they separated for the time being and ran to their own homes.
When they entered the house, it was in a mess.
There were traces of rummaging everywhere, and even the rice jar in his kitchen was directly moved away.
If he remembered correctly, there were still more than ten kilograms of crescent rice in the rice jar.
After losing three or four low-grade spirit stones, Zhou Changwang's face was not very good. He hurried into his bedroom and looked towards the basement under the bed at the first time.
His heart jumped.
He hurriedly approached.
He clearly saw that there were traces of magic attacks on the floor.
But soon, he was relieved again.
It was not blasted open.
His underground secret room was there before he rented it. Later, it was renovated by his father, and many reinforcement methods were added. The design was also more sophisticated. If you don't understand the mechanism, it will be sealed.
The magic of ordinary low-level cultivators really can't destroy it.
Fortunately, it is so.
Otherwise, the things in the secret room will really be looted.
Although most of them were not worth much spiritual stones, he spent a lot of time and energy to cultivate those three spiritual seeds, so he naturally didn't want to lose them.
Then, he opened the secret room and saw that the three spiritual seeds were intact in the corner of the secret room, and he was really relieved.
After leaving the secret room, Zhou Changwang looked at the messy house and couldn't help sighing.
But a golden house or a silver house is not as good as his own dog house.
No matter how messy it was, it was his place to stay. He had to start cleaning it up one by one, and then use the cleaning technique... The speed was very fast.
Just after everything was cleaned up, Qian Xiaoyue came over. The things she put in his room last night were also looted. She was not disappointed, but she heard that Zhou Changwang's spiritual rice was stolen, so she sent two kilograms.
I don't know if it was leaked or she hid it well, her spiritual rice was not searched away.
So, Zhou Changwang was able to eat spiritual rice at noon, which was a rare satisfaction.
He took out the reward given to him by the brothers Zhao Jie and Zhao Qiang. Among them, Zhao Jie gave him a jade slip that recorded the method of raising spirit beasts. Zhou Changwang invaded it with his spiritual power and soon found that the jade slip mainly introduced the method of raising four kinds of spirit beasts: pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
Although dogs were also recorded, the main one introduced was a spirit beast called Flame Spirit Dog, which was characterized by four legs that were red like flames, and was very handsome.
As for the mountain dog, it was just a low-level spirit dog and could not be compared with it at all.
"But after all, they are both dogs, so I can refer to them..."
Zhou Changwang thought about it and was satisfied.
As for the reward given by Zhao Qiang, it was a small bag of spirit stones. After he opened it, he roughly counted it. Fifty low-grade spirit stones were not too few.
Generally, asking people from the Spiritual Planting Hall to help would not even cost so much.
"In this case, I made a small profit this time."
Zhou Changwang sighed and returned to the room to rest.
This time, he really rested.
He was still completely clueless about what was happening outside. He didn't want to waste his spiritual power by practicing spells or drawing talismans.
He had to ensure that his spiritual power was perfect so that he could deal with unexpected situations that might occur at any time.
In this way, time passed.
After two hours, the movements outside gradually increased.
Through the window, Zhou Changwang even saw people coming in and out of the house next to Qian Xiaoyue. From their backs, he confirmed that they were the two brothers in the robbery. As for their names, Qian Xiaoyue didn't tell him, and he didn't dare to ask when he met them.
But the couple farther away didn't come back. It's unknown whether they escaped or fell into the market.
It is also worth mentioning that the cultivator surnamed Mu who was determined to rush into the inner city last night also came back, but an arm on his shoulder was missing. Obviously, the trip to the inner city was not smooth.
However, in his wife's view, it was good enough to be able to save her life. So although she covered her eyes and cried, she kept saying "It's good to be back, it's good to be back".
Because people gradually showed up, naturally, people who knew each other would go door to door to inquire about the situation, and some of the internal situations of the market were slowly spread.
"The civil strife in the market this time was caused by the Wu family and the Feng family of the Divine Wind Valley, who jointly attacked the Bai family."
"The battle in the market was fierce, and some foundation-building cultivators died."
"The main battlefield was not the market, but the Bai family's land a hundred miles away.
There were powerful cultivators guarding outside the Bai family's land to prevent the Bai family from coming out to help."
"The Bai family's ancestor took action and stayed in the market. At the critical moment, he took a strong action and fought against three foundation-building cultivators with his own strength, causing three powerful cultivators to die, one and be injured, and retreat in defeat.
Then the Bai family's ancestor suppressed many rebellions with force.
The civil strife was finally quelled."
"The Wu family announced its full withdrawal from Fengmingwu market."
