If we take the Upper City District, won’t this Sacred Artifact be destroyed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It shouldn’t be.

Luna simply glanced at it and then put the Building Stone away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I’ll handle the Sacred Artifact matters first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Gu Xi didn’t take out anything else, Luna quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll wait here for you, be quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna gave a knowing nod and floated away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kane was at the pier with a few of his Zombies clearing the bodies of the strange Coral People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Xi disembark, Kane quickly asked, \"Sir, what do you plan to do with these bodies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything unusual about these bodies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi, glancing at the bodies that had turned into various colors of coral, was somewhat curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These bodies are quite good herbs. Different colors have different Traits. If you don’t need them, I’ll store them as herbs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Kane’s words, Gu Xi lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Herbs, huh? Store them for now. I seem to have a blueprint for a Grave Herb Garden. Let’s see if these corals can be grown as herbs then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane had no objections to Gu Xi’s order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, sir, I’ll store all the herbs properly, it’s my main job anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the conversation with Kane, one of Kane’s subordinates suddenly dragged something over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spotting Gu Xi standing next to Kane, the subordinate hesitated, unsure whether to give the item to Kane or Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t appraise it, let Kane take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi immediately saw the Zombie’s hesitation and stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he couldn’t resist glancing over, curious about what the Zombie had found that required Kane’s appraisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the item, Kane found it to be a rusty Short Knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Kane had expected the Zombies to find a weapon.
