Chapter 1020

However, if the other party really had all the parts, he did have the intention to acquire them. Perhaps he could find the secrets hidden inside and get some truly valuable or useful things.

Fortunately, the auction was completed quickly, and the crowd dispersed. That person followed Chen Ang away happily. The two came to a teahouse, entered a compartment, and only then did he take out all those small items.

And these things were indeed a set with the thing he had bought.

Chen Ang immediately asked curiously: "Where did you get these things?"

Hearing Chen Ang bring this up, the man opened the floodgates.

"Actually, what I do is also despised by others. Sometimes I go to dig graves. These things were also dug out by me inadvertently, but I hadn't even finished picking them up when someone came to inspect, so I only ended up with this one. And the place I dug was also a well-known Earth Immortal tomb. If I were caught, I don't know how the villagers here would treat me."

He spoke in a very low voice. Hearing him say this, Chen Ang felt a bit unlucky, but since the things were already here, if he didn't try, he would really be reluctant.

"Since you are so frank, I will accept these things. The money is here, count it yourself."

After Chen Ang finished speaking, he put the money on the table and reached out to take those parts.

After piecing all the parts together, the thing formed a ring, and those stains that couldn't be wiped off originally fell off by themselves. However, those patterns didn't react at all; clearly, they needed to be activated, and this ring looked more like a bracelet.

But putting this thing directly on his hand, Chen Ang was also worried about danger, and for a moment, he had no idea.

And the person who sold him the things hadn't left either, just sitting opposite watching. Seeing the bracelet being made, he was also quite curious.

"What is the use of this thing? I wanted to pick them up at first because it seemed like it could be worth some money, but now it seems like it's just a broken circle."

"Why don't you try it?"

Chen Ang asked directly.

He also felt from the bottom of his heart that this guy couldn't possibly activate the runes on it, but he could try to see what was special about this bracelet.

"That's so embarrassing, isn't it? What if I can use this thing, wouldn't that be..."

He was polite in words, but his hands were not polite at all, putting the thing directly on his hand. Before he finished speaking, the huge energy transmitted from the bracelet made him roll his eyes. Chen Ang immediately realized something was wrong and took the bracelet off directly, only then feeling the power of a spirit body in the bracelet.

At this moment, he also felt relieved. After all, if it weren't for this person's help, the one who would have suffered this impact just now would probably have been him.

And the spirit body hidden in this bracelet should be the spirit body of the bracelet's original owner.

"People are already dead, and you're still thinking about possession? Let me send you on your way." Chen Ang said, increasing the force in his hand, and the energy in his body was injected into the bracelet. The bracelet immediately began to shake, and soon lost its original luster.

At this moment, the person who had just fallen also sat up shakily, looking at Chen Ang with a face full of confusion, as if he had completely forgotten what he had just experienced.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is yet." Chen Ang asked the other party, while putting the bracelet on his hand, and then began to search for useful information inside with his consciousness.

"My name is Zong Shu. Is this the thing you just pieced together? The price I just received shouldn't be too cheap, right? Does this thing have any special function?"

Not to mention, Chen Ang really explored some useful information inside.

It said that the owner of this bracelet had buried certain things in a nearby forest before he died.

If that thing could be found, some special things should be able to be dug out from inside, but that area seemed a bit unusual.

It seemed more like a graveyard, and the guy opposite should be more familiar with this place.

Thinking of this, he simply asked Zong Shu opposite him.

"I have another business here, I don't know if you are willing to do it."

Hearing that there was money to be made, Zong Shu immediately spoke: "Yes, but my price is not low. What kind of work do you want me to do? As long as the money is there, I can do anything."

With the other party's words, Chen Ang was also relieved, and simply asked: "Where are the graves near you? Can you take me for a walk?"

For such a request from Chen Ang, Zong Shu had really never heard anyone mention it.

However, there was even less need for him to refuse such a simple little thing, so he agreed in one breath, and almost stood up directly.

"Walking around graves is not easy? I'll take you there right now. I'm afraid you won't find anyone more familiar with the graves here than me."

"Not now, don't worry."

Chen Ang refused and waved to call the clerk in the shop.

He had an intuition that this trip might be a big battle, so the most important thing right now was to eat and drink enough, so that he would have the energy to fight at night.

Regarding what Chen Ang said, Zong Shu understood every sentence, but when combined, he was a bit confused.

If not going now, when should he go? Could it be that he wanted to go at night?

Could this person be trying to compete with him for business?

Even though he had ten thousand doubts in his heart, Zong Shu was not the kind of person who was impulsive enough to offend his "sugar daddy" immediately.

Sitting down obediently, he watched Chen Ang order some food and snacks, and simply started to eat and drink for free, while also being a bit curious about Chen Ang's financial resources.

"To tell you the truth, the people in our place are poor, and there are many desperate people, but their abilities are very average. I am not from here, and it took a lot of effort to get familiar here, and my ability can actually make people detour here. However, those powerful people here are still formidable, and not everyone can provoke them."

"Really? For example?" Chen Ang asked curiously, also a bit curious about the stories in this New City.

Seeing Chen Ang interested, Zong Shu talked endlessly again.

"In this New City, there are actually four major families: the Li family, the Wang family, the Sun family, and the Murong family. When these four families were at their peak, they were also able to stir up trouble in the surrounding area. It was only after returning from a certain voyage that these four families declined. It is said that it was related to a bet with a mysterious person, and it is said that they lost their luck."

Hearing the word "bet," Chen Ang immediately knew that this matter was related to Xuanwu again.

It's just that he didn't understand why Senior Xuanwu liked betting so much. Fortunately, the other party didn't come to him.

"What about now? Since they are the so-called four major families, there must be some foundation, right?"

"That's natural, so most of the storefronts you see on the road now are actually assets of the four major families. They never let unrelated people participate in their business, which also led to the young people here leaving one after another, and the older generation who stayed are those who don't want to get involved in the disputes of the four major families."

"The reason why there are more outsiders here is also because of the rumors that there are secret treasures in this place during this period."

Zong Shu explained very enthusiastically, his voice grew a bit louder, and he even attracted several people to listen to the story.

Regarding this, Chen Ang just asked a question silently.

"Then when did you come here?"

According to what he just said, he shouldn't be a local either.

Actually, Chen Ang was somewhat surprised by what he said about outsiders. After all, judging from everyone's attitude when they were looking for a place to stay yesterday, he thought there wouldn't be many outsiders coming to this place at all.

Just as he wanted to ask where this guy had been staying during this time, the other party had already given the answer to the previous question.

"I've been here for several months. Maybe it's because I heard the news earlier. After all, everyone knows that our Zonggou race is the earliest to inquire about news, and our noses are the most sensitive."

Regarding this race, Chen Ang had never heard of it either. It had to be said that coming out for a trip was still very eye-opening for him.

Although the other party didn't explain too much, according to the habits of animals, Chen Ang could roughly guess what kind of talents most people in their race would have, and at the same time understood why he could find himself among so many people.

Without paying attention to the Zonggou's endless chatter, Chen Ang silently ate the food in front of him, while also thinking about how to settle Qing Mei tonight.

Fortunately, Zong Shu opposite him soon said something very critical.

"During the previous period, weren't the four major families recruiting talented people everywhere? In order to make these people defect to them, they even forbade the people in the city from taking in outsiders. People like me naturally don't like to live under others, so I've been finding a few graves to make do for the night during this time. I don't know where you are staying, brother?"

"Where? Why don't you take me there first." Chen Ang made a decision immediately, not even eating anymore.

As for whether to defect or not, as long as he didn't show his true strength, when these people really wanted to make trouble, he would just leave directly, and he wouldn't really let anyone down.

Hearing what Chen Ang said, the other party hesitated, but still nodded in agreement. After all, his intuition told him that he definitely couldn't beat Chen Ang, so it was better to follow the other party obediently, and maybe he could get a lot of benefits.

Wouldn't that be better than digging graves?

And when Chen Ang packed up his things and took Qing Mei to follow Zong Shu to the stronghold outside the city, Chen Ang only then knew that this so-called stronghold was actually a manor, and the food inside should be quite rich, because even outside, he could smell the fragrance of the food inside.

It even made him feel that what he had just eaten was garbage.

No wonder this Zong Shu looked at him with strange eyes when he ordered so many things.

This guy, a dog is really a dog...

And at this moment, Zong Shu also realized that what he had done before seemed a bit unauthentic, so he simply made up for it at this time.

"Actually, I don't come here to eat for free often. Although I can still eat for free, the food here is quite good, but after eating, these people always ask you to do this and that, and it's not easy to run away. After all, I took the reward in advance."

"What kind of excessive things can they ask you to do?"

Chen Ang naturally didn't believe this evil, and walked into the villa immediately.

He saw several receptionists standing at the door, and when they saw Chen Ang, they introduced him one after another.

"Sir, come to our Li family villa. Our food here is definitely the best among the four places, and the scenery is beautiful."

"Sir, our Sun family is also good. The food is no worse than any of them, and if you come, we will give you potions and materials!"

Several people were boasting about their own families, hoping to attract Chen Ang.

Little did they know, Chen Ang was just going for the smell, just wanting to see whose food was more attractive to him. Following the smell, he soon came to a restaurant and saw it filled with roast duck, ribs, roast beef, and other various big dishes. Such delicacies also made him eager to move, and he started directly.

Regarding this, Zong Shu also expressed his admiration for Chen Ang.

"Your sense of smell is quite good. I also smelled that there are the most big dishes here, but this family is also the most difficult to deal with. Do you want to think about whether there is any way to mix out after eating later?"
