Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

As for the remaining Tier 2 materials, he plans to try using them on the socket enchantment of Tier 3 arrow towers.

He was really looking forward to the extra special effects mentioned.

The conditions for returning the boxing gloves are not harsh.

The task can be completed by simply using the power of blood and qi contained in the gauntlets to kill twenty monsters.

With his current strength, he can easily complete it once it gets dark.

He then turned his attention to the other two tier-two pieces of equipment.

"Blood-Thirsting Storage Ring: It can store ten square meters of space, but requires half a cup of essence blood to nourish it each month!"

"Godslayer's Broken Blade: A strange broken blade radiating a scarlet light; touching it corrupts the mind, unleashing a bloodthirsty urge!"

The former is used for storage.

The latter, however, emitted a scarlet glow, as if the air itself were dripping blood.

Feng Mo was very pleased with both pieces of equipment.

After acquiring the first piece of equipment, he will be able to carry more supplies with him.

As for the second piece of equipment, Feng Mo also planned to keep it.

For no other reason than the visible crimson special effect.

Wearing it around your waist would definitely be very stylish.

Feng Mo dislikes negative effects.

So I decided to see what would happen if I used the storage ring in advance.

"Storage Ring Filled with Spiritual Energy (Tier 2)": Contains 100 cubic meters of internal space;

When worn, it can accumulate one spiritual essence in the storage space each day;

Using Spiritual Essence can increase personal enlightenment and purify the pollution effects on equipment.

"Repayment Conditions": 30 pieces of contaminated equipment stored away.

"Item Affix" Sowing Beans and Reaping Melons: For each Spirit Essence generated, you can randomly obtain 1 to 3 Spirit Essences.

"good!"

Not only did his storage space increase tenfold, but he also gained spiritual energy that could enhance his comprehension.

At the same time, the effect of the entry is also very fitting.

Even with the worst luck, you're guaranteed to get at least two Spirit Essences.

We don't yet know the specific effects of the spiritual energy.

Presumably, this "polluted equipment" refers to equipment with negative effects.

If so, he will be able to remove the negative effects of the equipment on his own without needing to pay in advance.

"So this is the foundation of top-tier Tier 2 equipment!" Feng Mo liked it more and more as he looked at it.

Next, we will take inventory of the miscellaneous items.

A tattered treasure map, a locked, mysterious treasure chest.

There are also two special crops:

One is gray rice that can enhance personal enlightenment, and the other is a sunflower-shaped crop that produces disaster stones under sunlight.

However, these special effects can only be unlocked by making a prepayment.

If not paid in advance, they are no different from ordinary gray rice and sunflowers.

What concerned Feng Mo the most was the locked treasure chest.

Treasure chests require a special key to open, and treasure maps require collecting fragments to use.

Feng Mo usually dislikes this kind of collection-based gameplay.

Once the research center matters are settled, I'll unlock all these things in advance!

Feng Mo was very satisfied with what he had gained this time.

After finishing his trivial matters, Feng Fugui suggested holding a celebration banquet to properly celebrate.

This can be considered a perfect ending to last night's fierce battle.

Feng Mo nodded in agreement.

This is a perfect opportunity to use the celebration banquet as a pretext to reward those who have made contributions.

He had promised before the battle last night that those who performed well would be richly rewarded, and now he naturally had to keep his promise.

The celebration banquet was to be held inside the outer city wall of Wuzangmiao.

The campfire was lit and roared.

When locals in the Huanjiang River basin celebrate, they always like to gather around a bonfire for a lively celebration.

Tables and mats were set up all around.

Although it wasn't exactly a delicacy, it included fish and meat, making it quite a feast.

The surviving warriors from last night sat together, drinking and chatting happily.

In the days leading up to the drought, Feng Fugui practically went bankrupt trying to prepare for this banquet.

Halfway through the banquet, it was time to discuss and reward those who had contributed.

As promised, he owes no one anything, whether it's grain or rice.

Tang Ren's performance in this battle was outstanding.

Feng Mo then took out all the strange objects in his hand and let him choose for himself.

He eventually chose a compass that could assist in divination.

Consuming only a small amount of flesh and blood was enough to alleviate the eerie mental erosion effect, which was like a divine intervention for him.

As for those attack-type monsters, he didn't want any of them.

Tang Ren had a very clear understanding of his role: a virtuous wife should act like one.

As for those in the second line, such as Feng Fugui and Feng Nuonian, who were responsible for logistics and preparation, they were also rewarded.

However, the reward was not a strange object, but a precious grain of vital energy.

Although they put in a lot of effort, their contributions were ultimately slightly less than those of Tang Ren and Huang Lao Er, who were at the forefront.

Feng Mo's method of distribution satisfied everyone present.

The greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity.

Afterwards, Feng Mo collected all the remaining strange objects.

Once this strange calamity has completely subsided, if a caravan passes by, it should fetch a good price.

As for Huang Lao Er, Feng Mo had already rewarded him before he was ordered to set off.

Before parting, I specifically asked him to choose two strange items to take with him.

……

And so the celebration continued until evening.

Just then, news came from the soldiers guarding the city walls.

Huang Lao Er is back.

Feng Mo immediately got up to meet them, but unexpectedly, he bumped into other familiar faces.

Ta Xueyunshu also accompanied Huang Lao Er back.

Upon meeting, Ta Xue Yun Shu tossed Feng Mo a piece of calamity stone as a token of hospitality.

"Having heard that the Third Young Master has defeated the Calamity, our company's sergeant has come to offer his congratulations."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Feng Mo cupped his hands in greeting.

People are afraid of famous pigs.

When I saw Ta Xueyunshu again, her attitude was noticeably warmer than before.

"Huang Lao Er has told me everything."

I can fully assist you with delivering your message.

only……"

At this point, Ta Xue Yun Shu deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"But what?" Feng Mo asked, puzzled. "The price is negotiable, but the Qi and Blood Ash Rice might take a while to arrive."

Now, after being distributed as rewards, there is very little of the Qi Xue Hui rice left.

He also wants to use it for cultivation.

If the other party wants a small amount of Qi and Blood Ash Rice, it's fine, but if it's a large quantity, he really can't satisfy them immediately.

Ta Xueyunshu shook his head: "It's not Qi and Blood Ash Rice."

"What is that?"

"I need you to promise me one thing."

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing this, Ta Xueyunshu immediately added, "Third Young Master, please don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

I am already aware that your strength has reached the level of protecting the borders and temples.

Just because of last night's victory, your contribution to the Shang Dynasty is already more than enough.

In my name, Ta Xue Yun Shu, I would like to recommend you to become the Guardian of the Frontier and the Temple!

"You mean you want to invest in me?"

"That's one way to put it." Ta Xue Yun Shu got straight to the point, "Introducing you would also benefit me."

However, since you come from a prominent family, not the imperial court, I cannot disclose the details.

Ta Xueyunshu noticed the broken longsword hanging at Feng Mo's waist.

It glowed with a scarlet light and was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

It was clearly no ordinary object at first glance.

It must be a second-tier monster!

This undoubtedly confirms what Feng Mo did.

It's incredibly lucky that just two Tier 2 monsters can produce one Tier 2 monster item. She's killed dozens of Tier 2 monsters before, but usually, she wouldn't get even one.

Feng Mo, standing to the side, understood perfectly.

The other party was unwilling to elaborate, and he was too lazy to delve into the details.

The fact that the other party came alone was probably to avoid being seen by others.

"Okay, you recommend me, I'll recommend you."

So Feng Mo handed over the detailed information he had written that day about the opera troupe's strange activities.

Ta Xueyun glanced at it and said, "So detailed?"

"What's wrong? Is it not working?"

"It doesn't matter, I just didn't expect you to have such a penchant for studying the bizarre."

"Like that Huiku Zhenjun Temple Master?" Feng Mo thought of the temple master who compiled the record of the first-order strange calamity.

Ta Xue did not respond to this topic, simply brushing it off:

"I will help you complete it."

Report your strange occurrences and the strange calamities that befell your Jiangbai Village to the imperial court in detail.

"Approximately how long?"

"Normally, it takes three to five days."

Feng Mo's heart tightened slightly.

Three to five days?

"take it easy.

I said it was ordinary, but you are not ordinary either.

A small village garrison withstood a calamity of over a thousand monsters led by two second-tier anomalies. If this were to reach the imperial court, it would be no small matter.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you're going to be famous."

The most urgent task is to come up with a prestigious title for the investiture.

I never imagined that such a genius like you would emerge from this remote and impoverished place.

Ta Xueyunshu waved his hand, looking tired.

"After traveling all this way, prepare some talisman water for me to relieve my fatigue."

So, Huang Lao Er stepped forward to greet him.

He immediately arranged for people to take good care of this military officer who held an official position and help him rest.
