Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"I didn't expect that bastard Cui Gu to have quite a few good things on him...!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Feng continued to cultivate on the spot while taking out the storage ring left by Cui Gu to examine it, his face showing slight surprise.

As the former head of the three major halls of the Tomb Raiders Sect, Cui Gu was second only to the leader and was so powerful that almost no one dared to provoke him except for the sect leader Sha Wuqiu.

The treasures left behind by Cui Gu are numerous, including a total of five hundred inferior spirit stones!

In addition, there are numerous pills, hidden weapons, rare minerals, and a Blood Oath Token that allows entry into the forbidden area of ​​the Tomb Raiders' headquarters. It is a diverse and abundant collection!

"This is a top-grade elixir, a detoxifying pill?"

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow as he took out a small, dark, uneven pill from his storage ring.

Although this pill is not of high grade, only a first-grade pill, it is not as good as the Life-Generating and Bone-Strengthening Pill that he fished out of the nameless ice spring in the past, but it is still quite valuable. After taking it, it can harmonize the meridians and remove all poisons.

"So this guy carried so many detoxifying pills. No wonder he could ingest so many poisonous creatures and insects without fear of suffering a backlash from them..."

Lu Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression.

There weren't many detoxifying pills in the storage ring, only about seven or eight, which were obviously left behind by Cui Gu before his death.

After all, the Cold Toad Poison Absorption Technique he cultivated was an unorthodox method that required him to ingest a large number of poisonous creatures and insects every day. It also carried the risk of backlash. Without the aid of the Detoxification Pill, Cui Gu would most likely suffer a backlash that would attack his heart and cause him to die from the poison!

"This technique is quite powerful, comparable to a true first-grade technique, far superior to the third-rate Spirit Guiding Technique I'm currently practicing. It's just a pity it has significant drawbacks... oh well!"

After glancing at the Cold Toad Poison Absorption Technique manual left behind by Cui Gu, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all and immediately abandoned his plan to cultivate this technique.

After all, he didn't want to end up like Cui Gu, neither human nor ghost, covered in ugly, terrifying green bumps.

Moreover, cultivating the Cold Toad Poison Absorption Technique requires ingesting various poisonous creatures and insects every day. Just thinking about this makes Lu Feng feel nauseous and vomit-inducing, let alone cultivate it.

After collecting the Cold Toad Poison Absorption Technique Manual, the Poison-Dissolving Pill, and the Blood Oath Token into his storage ring, Lu Feng stood up and immediately headed towards Black Rock Village on the outskirts of Fancheng.

Although this place is over a hundred miles away from Black Rock Village, with Lu Feng's current speed and agility, he can arrive in at most two hours.

...

Outside Heiyan Village, in front of the village entrance archway

Flames shot into the sky, and everywhere were burnt, dilapidated houses and courtyards, as well as charred corpses of villagers. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel a chill.

"What's going on...?"

Gazing at this human tragedy before him, Lu Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Just as Lu Feng was feeling uneasy, he faintly heard a sobbing sound that was both sad and angry coming from the side.

Click!

He leaped to the source of the crying and saw Lu Feng raise his hand and unleash a palm strike, instantly shattering a section of the collapsed roof.

"Ah...! No, don't kill me...!"

The moment the eaves were shaken open, an old figure was exposed, and he immediately knelt down, burying his face in his hands and begging for mercy.

"Have mercy...! I really don't know where that woman is...!"

"Please, spare me...! I beg you...!"

The other party was an elderly man, his face was deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling. He seemed to be so frightened that he was completely at a loss and dared not look Lu Feng in the eye.

"I won't kill you."

Seeing this, Lu Feng frowned deeply, his brows furrowing like the character "川" (river). "Old man, are you the only one left in this village?"

"You, you...you're not one of those bandits?!"

Only then did the elderly man dare to raise his head, and when he saw Lu Feng's handsome face, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Bandits?"

Lu Feng was also taken aback, then said, "Don't worry, I'm just a random cultivator passing by, not some bandit."

"Old man, what exactly happened in this village?"

"Waaaaah...! Those damned bandits...!"

"They not only burned, killed, and looted in Heiyan Village, but they didn't even spare three-year-old children. My wife and son are both dead...! Even my innocent daughter-in-law was stripped naked and repeatedly raped by those beasts...!"

"What a tragedy...! My daughter-in-law just got married this year, and my poor, unborn grandson was dragged out of my womb by those damned beasts and then smashed into a bloody pulp on the spot...! Waaaaaah...!"

The elderly man seemed to have been struck on a sore spot, and he burst into tears, pounding his chest as he cried, as if he hated his own weakness and powerlessness, and his inability to avenge his family.

"Sir, please accept my condolences and don't be too sad..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He was about to speak up to comfort the old man when he saw that the old man was becoming increasingly agitated, his face turning bright red.

"No! I will kill these beasts to avenge my wife, my son, and my innocent daughter-in-law who died tragically..."

"I...I swear I'll never forgive them... *chuckle*!"

Before he could finish speaking, the elderly man suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of pus and blood, then collapsed to the ground like a cotton ball, completely lifeless. He had clearly died of a fit of rage!

"May you rest in peace, sir."

Seeing the elderly man cough up blood and die, Lu Feng sighed and immediately buried him on the spot as a way of collecting the body.

After all, the other family had been killed by bandits. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be living a life worse than death if they could not take revenge, and they would be unable to escape the shadow in their hearts.

"Yun'er...! You absolutely can't get hurt...!"

"If you make even the slightest mistake, I swear I will tear these beasts to pieces and make them pay with their lives!"

Lu Feng's gaze returned to Black Rock Village, which was shrouded in flames. His brows furrowed, and his fists clenched tightly beneath his sleeves. He then leaped into the village.

Although the old man had said that Black Rock Village had been robbed and massacred by bandits, Lu Feng clearly sensed dozens of powerful energy fluctuations lurking within the village.

Clearly, the perpetrators of this massacre in Black Rock Village were not ordinary bandits, but a group of martial artists!

As they ventured deeper into the village, they found more and more corpses of villagers piled up along the roadside, most of whom were elderly, infirm, disabled, or even children as young as six or seven.

Seeing this, Lu Feng's anger surged, almost to the point of exploding completely.

...

Inside Black Rock Village, in front of a spacious open space, figures could be seen scattered about, exuding a menacing aura.

"Reporting, boss! I've led my men to search the entire village, turning it upside down, but we still haven't found the woman..."

After briefly taking stock of the prisoners and spoils, a masked man immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully addressed the bald, burly man before him.

The bald, burly man rode a yellow horse, carrying a giant axe on his back. His entire body was enveloped in an astonishing aura of menacing power, clearly indicating his formidable strength. He was the leader of the group of masked men in black present.

On the other side of the open space, there were more than a dozen young village women, dressed in tattered clothes and with pale faces, who seemed to be among the few survivors of the massacre. However, they all had fear in their eyes and were trembling all over, clearly terrified.
