Chapter 69: Lu Xuanwu, Fishing Lantern Festival

At this point, Lu Xuanwu's expression became fearful, even a little flustered.

"The army of bones is all over the mountains and plains. Just a rough estimate shows that there are at least several thousand of them. I also tried my best to get back. I don't know how County Lieutenant Long is doing now."

"County Lieutenant Long should be fine now. He went back to the inner city before, but left in a hurry." Sun Qianzhao said.

After he returned today, the servant told him that Long Yuesheng came to look for him, but left immediately after learning that he was not there.

He asked the servants, and they said that County Lieutenant Long was not seriously injured at that time, but just looked a little exhausted.

Lu Xuanwu nodded, and his anxious heart relaxed a little.

"In any case, the prophet should inform all parties and make preparations for the response. I guess this may be the precursor of the strange tide. I'm afraid it won't be long before the strange tide breaks out."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, a strange tide of change!

This is really a very old name. There hasn't been a strange outbreak in Black Mountain City for decades.

But according to records, every outbreak of a strange tide is accompanied by a large number of casualties.

Especially those in their gangs, who usually act arrogantly and domineeringly. Once a strange wave breaks out, they will definitely be pushed to the front line as cannon fodder.

Although most of the dead were ordinary gang members, they also needed to deal with some advanced weirdness themselves.

There are many strange things in the strange tide, who knows if we will be surrounded and killed?

Lu Xuanwu was not surprised to see the crowd's reactions, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

Thinking back to the time when he was still in the Bronze Bell Gate, he was just a small second-rate warrior, but he dared to go to the area where the strange tide broke out with his senior brothers in the gate. He didn't know how many times he had been through life and death!
If he had not been limited by his talent, with his ruthlessness back then, he would never have been confined to this position.

Even so, he still became a master-level expert.

Among these people in front of him, almost every one of them is more talented than him, but none of them has become a master.

Except Qin Jiang.

He looked at Qin Jiang and saw some worry in the other's eyes, but he did not flinch. This alone made him better than he is now.

"According to the rules of the past, the Red Tiger Gang is responsible for the southern part of the city. You should assist Chief Qin and don't lose face for the Red Tiger Gang."

Yes, he never thought that Black Mountain City could keep its walls intact under the attack of the strange tide.

He had experienced several strange tides, and without the top combat power, it was almost impossible to keep the city walls intact.

Each time, there are large numbers of civilian casualties.

It is because Daxia has too many cities, nearly a thousand in total, and Huai State and several neighboring countries have been eyeing them covetously, so the strange tide does not seem to be a big problem.

"I understand! I will do my best to assist the Chief!" Kong Hai spoke directly without any hesitation.

The others also expressed that they would do their best.

"Okay, in that case, everyone please go back. I need to rest." Lu Xuanwu said.

After everyone left, he sat back in his chair, his body slightly relaxed, his face looking gray as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant.

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed gently, and a hint of crimson could be seen faintly.

He stood up and walked to the clothes rack beside him. There was a black nightgown. He was wearing this clothes when he blew the whistle just now.

He came to the pillar next to the clothes hanger and pressed his palm lightly on it. A force instantly spread through the pillar.

There was a rustling sound of something falling to the ground, and the pillar in front of him gradually turned into sand and scattered to the ground, revealing the contents inside.

It was a seven-meter-long spear, all black in color, with tiger-shaped patterns engraved on it.

He picked up the rifle, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and looked at it with memories, "Old friend, I don't know if there will be a chance to fight again."

He returned to the chair with the rifle in hand and sat down, placing the rifle across his legs. Looking outside, the moonlight was gone, obscured by dark clouds, and the entire yard looked dark.

"It's bound to happen once in a while"

A few days later, at Anxin Villa, Meng An directed the crowd to bring in antiques and old items.

These are the last batch he can buy with money. Although the Black Mountain City has not been completely plundered by him, only some extremely valuable items are left.

In addition, a large part of them have joined the local family association, and with the support of a powerful family, it would be difficult for him to rob them openly. He could only wait until the eldest boss had time to go there in person.

creak~
The wooden door opened and Qin Jiang walked out. His black and gold auspicious cloud robe covered his majestic body, making him look just a little tall.

His waist-length hair has been trimmed to the shoulders and falls casually, giving him a feeling of a gentleman, but also a bit of wildness inside.

"Boss, this is all for now. Here are the remaining manuals. They are in the hands of some families in the city."

Meng An handed over a booklet, and Qin Jiang took it and looked through it.

It records the antiques and old items owned by each family. The number is not large, only about a hundred pieces in total.

After putting away the booklet, he looked at the three piles of antiques in the yard. The left one had the most, the middle one had the less, and the right one had the least, with only about a dozen pieces.

Meng An pointed at them and said, "Boss, the ones on the far left are what we collected ourselves, and the ones in the middle were sent by the eldest daughter of the Xu family. The purchase price is 70% lower than the market price.

As for the ones on the far right, they have the pattern you described, and there are sixteen of them in total."

Qin Jiang's eyes moved slightly, "Yanran also asked someone to send some over?"

Meng An nodded, "Not just a few, these are probably 90% of the Xu family's inventory!"

Qin Jiang smiled and said nothing more. He walked to the far right and picked up an item. It was an arc-shaped bronze fragment that looked like part of a copper pot.

Sadly, this one has no potential points.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and a relatively complete-looking bronze mask with animal patterns came into view.

Pick up the mask, [Potential points absorbed. 0.20.30.4]

[Potential Points: 318.6]

There are more than the previous bronze mask with nightmare beast pattern!
He observed this beast pattern carefully and found it was somewhat different from the nightmare beast pattern he had seen before.

The nightmare beast pattern looks like a lion, while this mask looks more like a tiger.

Without giving it any further thought, he gently ran his palm over the remaining pieces.

[Potential Points: 336.8]

Sure enough, the antiques from the ancient Yu Kingdom contain more potential than ordinary antiques.

If I have time, I would like to learn more about the ancient Yu State.

Without stopping, he touched the remaining two piles one by one.

[Potential Points: 398.2]

Qin Jiang's eyes couldn't help but become excited, there were only less than two o'clock left to the 400 mark!
Once he plunders all the families in the city, he should be able to collect 500 potential points.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door. Qin Jiang looked back and saw Xu Yanran standing by the door. She had not put down her hand that was knocking on the wooden door yet. A part of her arm was exposed outside, like white jade.

She seemed to have dressed up specially today, wearing a pink dress and looking as gentle as when we first met.

"Master Qin, you said you would come pick up Yanran, how come you forgot? Did you even forget to accompany Yanran to the Fishing Lantern Festival?"
