Chapter 281: Chapter 275, Caterpillar Race_l

As the copper mirror on the ceiling was removed, the bat wings tn the stone coffin were quickly regaining their blood color.

No longer shrivelled and pale.

“What’s this?” Lorrey jumped onto the stone coffin, and Demitrija also came

over.

They were late comers, only hearing a brief explanation from Fang Hao about the ‘beating heart’ on their way.

“Bat wings, part of the beating heart,” Fang Hao answered.

“That’s quite scary.” Lorrey hugged his shoulders, shivering slightly.

The two bat wings gradually regained their blood color.

They fluttered from time to time, as if they were about to fly.

“You’ll get used to it,” Fang Hao reassured.

The funeral items were all transferred out.

“Tie up the bat wings and take them out. Also, take all the Solar Essence and

Nightstone on the walls,” Fang Hao instructed further.

The Barren Tomb Guards commenced action.

They began to extract the Solar Essence and Nightstone from the walls.

They also entered the stone coffin, binding the fluttering bat wings with ropes, to prevent them from taking flight after leaving the tomb, else they would have to arrange for someone to give chase.

Once everything was done on the fourth floor, they moved back to the third floor to gather the items.

Outside the underground palace.

Under the shade of a large tree, Fang Hao was still in the state of God’s

Presence.

Lying down with his eyes closed on the grass.

Behind him, in the dense forest, were the stationary Bone Dragon and the remaining Barren Tomb Guards.

At the moment, Fang Hao’s shirt was pulled up high, exposing his smooth, fair stomach.

And Anjia, with her hands propping up her chin, was lying nearby with great interest.

“Go on, go on, you’re almost at the finish line. Don’t lose heart, Little Green, there’s still a chance for a comeback,” she cheered.

In response to Anjia’s cheers.

A green and a white caterpillar were racing on Fang Hao’s belly.

The white caterpillar took the lead, gradually nearing the finish line.

The green caterpillar lagged behind, though after a couple of prods to its butt with a twig, it picked up pace, seemingly about to overtake the white caterpillar.

The race was nearing its thrilling finale.

The white caterpillar was leading, with the green one following closely.

Who would emerge victorious?

Just as the two caterpillars were neck and neck, about to reach the finish line.

The Barren Tomb Guards emerged from the entrance of the underground palace, lugging various items.

Fang Hao, lying on the ground, also twitched his eyelids slightly.

Anjia was startled, hastily picking up the two caterpillars and tossing them aside.

Fang Hao opened his eyes to find his stomach feeling a bit cold, then saw his armor undone, and the underlying clothes pulled up high.

There were also two wet streaks on his belly.

“What happened?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

“Eh? What do you mean?” Anjia sat up straightaway, feigning ignorance. “Why did you lift up my clothes?” Fang Hao also sat up, checking his trousers. “Oh! The weather is too hot, I saw you sweating and was afraid you would have a heatstroke,” Anjia explained.

Fang Hao gave her a glance, not believing her ridiculous explanation.

Buttoning up his clothes, he said, “Alright, we’ve dealt with everything in the underground palace. After Demitrija and the others come out, you can arrange for the tomb entrance to be blocked, to prevent any passing villagers from falling into it.”

“Okay, got it,” she replied.

Soon, Demitrija and his men came out through the entrance of the underground palace.

The various trophies and funeral items were piled up on both sides.

Anjia ordered the Barren Tomb Guards to prepare stones to block the entrance once everyone was out.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Hao decided to open the treasure boxes.

This time they got two treasure boxes in total.

One was silver and the other was gold.

He first came to the silver box and opened it.

[Obtained: Blueprint for White Steel Two-Handed Sword, Blueprint for Courtyard Stone Wall, 5 Shadowstones, 12 Blood Stones, 72 Warfire Coins.]

The blueprint for the white steel two-handed sword is a duplicate.

The last time I got it was in the Blood Clan’s ancient tomb, and now it’s from this silver chest.

Check the second blueprint.

[Courtyard Stone Wall Blueprint (Yanmi): 10 Wood materials, 30 Stone materials, 20 Stone Bricks.]

(Description: A wall that guards against gentlemen but not against thieves, can block the view.)

It’s a good idea to erect this wall in the backyard of the lord’s mansion. Although there are not many people in the territory, the open-air hot spring is still a bit embarrassing.

No need to introduce the Shadowstone and Blood Stone.

I didn’t expect that opening a treasure chest would yield rare materials of two factions.

I put the blueprints away, store the materials in the storage space, and continue to the gold treasure chest.

Open it.

[Obtained: Blueprint for Fine Carved Stone Plate, Blueprint for Exquisitely Carved Sun Array Stone Slab, Blueprint for Heavy Black Iron Repeating Crossbow Bolt, Blueprint for Nobleman’s Cane Sword, 45 Blood Stones, 258 Warfire Coins.]

The gold treasure chest gives quite a lot of items.

A whole lot of them.

[Fine Carved Stone Plate: 2 Stone Bricks.]

(Description: Stone plate made of stone bricks, suitable for indoor and outdoor use.)

In the Book of Lords, the blueprint for ordinary stone plates has already been unlocked.

Each stone plate is made from 3 stones.

And now, this fine carved stone plate should be an upgraded version of the ordinary stone plate, it requires two stone bricks to make.

Comparatively speaking, the ordinary stone plate is still more cost-effective in terms of materials.

Now, the streets of various cities, as well as the main roads connecting the cities, are all being paved with stone plates.

Fine carved stone plates are more suitable for indoor use or on special occasions.

[Exquisitely Carved Sun Array Stone Slab: 1 Fine Carved Stone Plate, 1 Mithril, 1 Solar Essence.]

(Description: Complete array pattern, imbuing the temperature of the sun into the finely carved stone plate.)

Exquisitely carved stone plate?

Fang Hao quickly flips through the Book of Lords.

Sure enough, he found the consumption requirement of an exquisitely carved stone plate in the material needed for the Stone Monster’s stone armor. Now that two blueprints require an exquisitely carved stone plate, he should pay attention in the future, or directly place an order in the Trade Alliance for acquisition.

The exquisitely carved sun array stone slab is actually not difficult to understand.

Just now, stone plates carved with sun array patterns can be seen on the walls of the cave.

Although Fang Hao did not have a chance to touch it, Lorrey had complained that the heat emitted by the stone plate was not low.

By winter time, it can serve as a heater, or it can be paved on the floor to become geothermal heat.

Such practical and useful items are quite neat.

[Heavy Black Iron Crossbow Bolt: 5 Hardwood, 3 Iron, 2 Cast Iron, 1 Metal Component.]

(Description: A crossbow bolt commonly used for ballista type weapons.) Obviously, this is the kind of bolt shot out by the mechanism. Although it’s called a crossbow bolt, its length and thickness is more similar to a war spear, or perhaps a javelin.

But it must be used in conjunction with a weapon.

I’ve gotten the blueprint for the [Nobleman’s Cane Sword] before, so getting it now is considered a duplicate.

I’ll sell it in the channel when the time comes.

After reading all blueprints, I collected them all using the Book of Lords. Looking at the ongoing fill-up team not far away, I scratched my belly.

After a while.

“It’s done, all filled up,” Anjia came back with her people.

The original temple has been leveled, and the fragments and statues have been thrown into the pit and covered with soil.

In less than two days, even the marks of the fresh soil on the ground will disappear.

As if the temple never existed.

“Let’s go, let’s go back.”

Everyone climbed onto the bone dragon and began to return to the territory.
