Chapter 1021

Regarding this, Chen Ang naturally wouldn't think about it; he had no intention of eating for free.

"Eat if you want to eat; after eating someone else's things, do you still want to skip the bill? And the food here is also quite good. Don't you think it's delicious?"

Chen Ang said, and even threw a chicken leg into Zong Shu's bowl. The other party obediently ate it into his mouth.

He also took a full plate by the way.

"Since you've said so, then I'll help you eat more. Otherwise, with your ability, it's definitely not worth it to eat just this little bit."

"I have my fiancée to help me eat; it's not your turn. Or are you saying that you can do without the reward for what you do for me tonight?"

Hearing him say this, Zong Shu stopped talking and ate calmly, only afraid that if he ate less, he would suffer a loss later.

But then again, the taste of the food here was indeed good, and even Qing Mei, who didn't like to eat, ate quite a bit.

Until several people put down their chopsticks, those servants came up, not only to clean up, but also to assign them tasks.

"Recently, we have been recruiting experts like you. The purpose is to find the treasure in advance, so we need you to go to the nearby hills now."

"Digging for treasure?"

Chen Ang guessed the answer directly.

He really didn't expect that these people were looking for so many people just to help them dig the ground.

Such a waste of talent is not something an ordinary person can do.

But since he had eaten other people's food, helping to dig the ground was not something he couldn't do.

But digging is digging; the necessary things they still had to do, which was to settle Qing Mei first, and then go do other important things.

Regarding this, Qing Mei naturally wouldn't refuse.

"You guys go dig the ground; I'm not very willing to do this. It's better to rest well. If digging for things could really dig up treasure, then I don't know how many people in this world would have already become rich."

And the rooms arranged in this place were also very good, all with independent bathrooms, much better than the creaky broken bed they lived in before.

Seeing Qing Mei was satisfied, Chen Ang then left with Zong Shu with peace of mind.

Thinking this, he no longer held back, sticking his mucus onto the shaft of the opponent's spear. Although it had no effect on the spear shaft, when Chen Ang touched it, he could still feel a burning sensation on his hand; clearly, the mucus was corrosive.

Holding a shovel and fork, Chen Ang leaned toward Zong Shu and asked him suspiciously: "Is there really any treasure in this place?"

"Impossible, if there was, it would have been dug up by me."

"But the bracelet you had before was also dug out here. Perhaps there really are some special things here."

Hearing this, Chen Ang had some thoughts in his heart.

He believed that the people of the four great families shouldn't be doing this for no reason; they would dig graves, and there must be a reason.

Perhaps they really had some secrets in their hands.

It's just that these things would definitely not be known to outsiders like them, just as he wouldn't reveal the scenes he saw on the bracelet.

Thinking of those images, Chen Ang's gaze became deep, and he simply continued to ask Zong Shu next to him: "How long will the excavation work here take? When will these people leave?"

Hearing this, Zong Shu couldn't help but complain.

"That's why this work is tiring. Even if it's midnight, these people won't let you rest. If you're not tired, they would rather you dig until dawn, unless something is dug up that day, then they will let these laborers stop."

"But everyone is not a fool. Just digging casually like this, at night, most people will still choose to go back to rest."

What Zong Shu said made him roughly understand the current situation. Holding an iron shovel, Chen Ang found a place where no one was watching and sat directly on the grave to rest.

Zong Shu also didn't expect Chen Ang to be so openly lazy, so he immediately sat by his side. He originally wanted to chat with the other party, but didn't expect Chen Ang to fall into a deep sleep directly.

"This is really taboo-free. He's so bold, daring to sleep in such a place. I don't know what else he can't do." Zong Shu muttered in a low voice, not daring to let Chen Ang hear.

And accompanied by the other party's even breathing, he soon fell into the trap too.

By the time the two opened their eyes again, the sky had already turned dark, and there was no one around.

This strange situation made Zong Shu immediately unable to help but shake Chen Ang awake.

"What's wrong? What happened again? Could it be that nether creatures have appeared?"

Chen Ang rubbed his eyes, but said it indifferently.

After all, his dragon claws also had special attributes. Dealing with those nether creatures had always been one kill per shot, and soon there would be materials all over the ground.

Hearing what Chen Ang said, Zong Shu only felt his feet go soft, and he quickly argued.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been to this place at night too; how could there be those things? At most, it's just some small monsters, but the current situation seems a bit unusual!"

"Look at the white fog around here; why do I feel like today seems to be some special day."

Zong Shu tried hard to think about the legends he had heard in this New City. It seemed there was indeed one about fog rising on the grave mountain.

It is said that on such days, very powerful nether creatures will appear, and many of them crawl out from the graves.

Just as he was thinking, he felt something grab his ankle, scaring him into screaming directly.

Chen Ang, however, stepped on that thing fiercely and indifferently. Hearing a painful wail, that thing turned directly into a pile of dust.

"These things are useless, but in the current situation, we really can't say for sure what treasures we might pick up here."

Abnormal events must have demons. The things hidden by the owner of the bracelet might be related to this anomaly. If found, not only could it solve the problem here, but perhaps it could also repay the favor of that meal.

Although he might eat more than one meal.

While Chen Ang was thinking, the nether creatures around were also increasing, and these were not the skeleton monsters that were easy to deal with, but some nether knights riding mounts.

If it were anyone else, the possibility of being torn apart by them would not be small; after all, they were cruel by nature and had amazing combat power.

If it weren't for the attribute of suppressing nether creatures added to the dragon claws, I'm afraid even he would find it strenuous to deal with these guys.

As for Zong Shu, he also didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between him and Chen Ang, so he simply picked up materials behind Chen Ang.

If he could pick up any skills suitable for him, he would definitely soar into the sky, and he wouldn't need to do these sneaky things in the future.

It's just that the number of nether creatures here was really too many.

Originally, there were only a few crawling out from the graves slowly, but as time increased, there were already dozens visible to the naked eye around them.

If they really kept fighting like this, even if Chen Ang was strong, they couldn't possibly keep consuming their recovery potions and keep dragging it out here.

Just as he was thinking, the surrounding environment actually changed again. For some reason, quite a bit of faint red fog appeared.

"Chen Ang, what's going on? What are these red things? Could it be that something powerful is about to appear?" Zong Shu's tone carried fear.

If it weren't for Chen Ang, he would probably have run away long ago and would definitely not be fighting hard against this group of terrifying things here.

"How would I know? It's all one step at a time. The strength of these guys is not high. Even if it doubles, I can still deal with it, so you don't need to worry too much."

Chen Ang comforted Zong Shu, and what he said was also the truth. It's just that if the strength of these guys really doubled, although he could deal with it, he might not necessarily be able to deal with such a large quantity.

Therefore, they could only hope that this red fog had no substantial effect.

Zong Shu nodded, which could be considered as being temporarily comforted by Chen Ang.

Looking for a way out around, Zong Shu looked left and right; this was probably his only use now. But just as he looked up, Zong Shu only then saw that the huge moon was actually being devoured right now.

His emotions also became agitated in an instant.

"I remember! The legend of this New City! It is said that on this night of the full moon, the dead will all come back to life, and if there is a lunar eclipse, this New City will be ruled by the dead!"

"This is a legend?"

Chen Ang didn't expect that there would be such strange things in this place, but legends are usually used to hide secrets. How much energy would it take to release so many nether creatures?

If this could really be found out, wouldn't that be making a fortune?

It's just that this place is so big; if he really wanted to find it, that wouldn't be an easy task.

And he quickly discovered that after absorbing this red fog, the strength of these nether creatures had indeed improved, and even their eyes had turned scarlet, carrying quite a bit of violent meaning.

Fortunately, his dragon claws were strong enough, and the Rending Claw even possessed the power to tear through space, making it even easier to face these nether creatures.

White dust covered the graveyard all over the ground. If you didn't look carefully, you might even think it was a layer of white snow. And as those violent nether creatures gradually fell, the ground soon took on a bit of blood color again, looking enchanting and eerie.

What made people feel even stranger was that the pitch-black moon that had already been devoured was actually absorbing the dust and bone ash on the ground at this moment, and soon dyed itself blood red.

"This, this is too strange, isn't it? Why don't we just leave? If something else happens and you can't take care of me, wouldn't I become cannon fodder here?" Zong Shu trembled.

After all, people don't come back to life after they die!

"That's not for sure. What if this moon has some magical effect that can keep you from dying and let you crawl back up? Wouldn't you have picked up a big bargain then?" Chen Ang joked deliberately.

Zong Shu rolled his eyes at Chen Ang. Hearing Chen Ang's tone, he also knew that the other party didn't want to leave, which also proved that he couldn't leave either.

After all, no one knew if these nether creatures had already filled the entire Star City. If he just went back by himself, it would be a dead end anyway. It would be better to continue following Chen Ang. Although he couldn't guarantee 100% safety, at least he could follow behind and pick up materials.

If he was lucky, Chen Ang might even be able to share some useful things with him.

Although he might not necessarily be able to use them, at least he could take them out to exchange for money. When the time came, his strength could improve, and he could exchange for some good equipment for himself.
