Chapter 227: Astonishing Resources

All of you, wake up a bit!

Seeing the mercenaries' eyes blinded by the resources.

Xiao Qing angrily gave a low shout at their lack of contention.

One ought to have self-awareness!

If they are overly greedy, it will not only fail to let them soar.

Instead, it will cause them to fall into an abyss of eternal damnation!

Xiao Qing has experienced more; although he too feels tempted by the possible resources in the treasury.

But he can restrain himself well, not doing what he shouldn't.

Xiao Qing's low shout made all the Iron Blood Mercenary Group members come to their senses.

Their faces showed shame; they felt ashamed for their earlier greed.

Gu Han observed the changes in everyone's expressions, feeling no surprise.

Faced with such an astonishing harvest, if they could still control their emotions and hide their desires at the first moment,

Only then would he need to be on guard!

As for these people showing greedy expressions, it can be said to be completely normal.

Unless they are people who grew up in the capital of Ben Lang Guo from childhood.

Otherwise, even a family head-level figure from other clans in Han Shan Cheng could not face such a great temptation without being moved!

Gu Chen searched around this wall but found any trace related to opening the door, puzzled, he said,

"This wall and its surroundings look seamless; how should we open it?"

Gu Han stepped forward and tapped the wall with his finger.

He discovered that this wall is indeed not solid,

"Perhaps we can try brute force."

Someone from the Iron Blood Mercenary Group instinctively whispered,

"This won't work; no matter what, we're underground—if we damage the underground's normal load-bearing capacity, we might all be buried alive here!"

They didn't suspect Gu Han wanted to bury them alive and monopolize the resources here.

Given the strength gap between Gu Han and them,

Even if they were here, they would pose no obstacle to Gu Han at all.

The Iron Blood Mercenary Group people also know that Gu Han wouldn't bear a grudge over a few words, which is why they dared to speak.

"When the He Family people want to appropriate supplies, they will inevitably open this gate."

Gu Han stroked his chin and spoke in a low voice,

"As long as we don't smash the surrounding walls, the load-bearing capacity is definitely not a problem."

Xiao Qing, upon hearing that, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

They have no key; the only way to open this door is...

... to smash it hard!

But smashing hard must also guarantee not to affect the surrounding wall rock.

Who can do that?

At this moment, Gu Han suddenly lowered his head and looked at Little Wolf,

"Little Wolf, find out where the smell inside is coming from."

Little Wolf blinked slightly, then quickly sprang into action.

After a moment, Little Wolf came to a spot on the wall, crouched down, then turned and barked at Gu Han.

Gu Han quickly walked over, lightly pushed the wall, which appeared seamless and hard to open.

Seeing this, the Iron Blood Mercenary Group members all furrowed their brows.

"Gu Xiao Brother, what are you trying to do? Even if you know where the gate is without a key, you can't open it, right?"

They could understand the reasoning of letting Little Wolf determine where the treasure's smell comes from via scent.

But without a key, knowing exactly where the gate is, what use is that?

Immediately following Gu Han's actions, they were greatly startled!

Only see Gu Han come to before the gate, placing his palms on either side of the gate seam.

Although he was clothed, everyone could feel that Gu Han was obviously erupting with ferocious power!

Boom!

"Holy shit, what sound is this?"

Hearing that heavy rumbling sound, everyone present's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Qing, as a Martial Ancestor, his strength is the strongest among those present besides Gu Han.

But even he was shocked by the strength Gu Han displayed!

With the He Family's power, a place that requires a key to open is definitely not something an ordinary Martial Ancestor could open just by brute force!

Under Gu Han's eruption of terrifying power,

The He Family treasure vault's gate is opening at a slow but steady pace!

Including Xiao Qing, everyone, amidst their tension, also carried a hint of hope.

The Iron Blood Mercenary Group's overall strength is considered not bad among all mercenary groups in Sword South Prefecture.

But compared to the He Family's power, it's still far apart!

They also wondered, given the He Family's status, how extravagant their stockpiles could be!

After a moment, thanks to Gu Han's efforts, this gate finally opened.

The long-sealed aura burst forth from within, causing everyone to frown.

But immediately after, a brilliant radiance like pearls and jewels burst forth.

High-grade raw stones piled up into small mountains.

All kinds of spiritual tools and treasures, as well as many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, were stored in special containers to prevent damage!

Just those dozens of earth-grade spiritual tools and treasures already left the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's members dumbfounded!

You should know, the spiritual tools gifted to them by the Phantom Night Snow Fox Clan were also all earth-grade.

But those had all been through battle and were somewhat damaged.

Being earth-grade spiritual tools, damaged weapons are naturally inferior to brand-new ones fresh from the forge!

But the He Family's storehouse contained only brand-new spiritual tools!

Moreover, there were also numerous cultivation pills, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as cultivation methods and martial techniques!

"He's struck it rich; the He Family must have gathered all the resources needed to recover from ruin and rise again, right?"

Even so, Xiao Qing is a Martial Ancestor, and furthermore the deputy regiment commander of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group.

But even Xiao Qing, who is well-informed and experienced, was stunned on the spot by this sight!

Ordinary forces do not have plans to stockpile too many resources.

Using all resources to increase strength is the proper way.

Otherwise, if they were destroyed in one fell swoop, the stockpiled resources would likely end up benefiting others.

Yet just the resources the He Family has stockpiled amount to this much.

One can imagine how astonishing the consumption in the He Family's daily cultivation must be!

"Each person can choose one earth-grade spiritual tool."

Gu Han's words left the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's members stunned.

Xiao Qing looked at Gu Han in disbelief and quickly said,

"Gu Xiaoxiong, we didn't really help this time; a single earth-grade spiritual tool is simply too precious!"

And it's one earth-grade spiritual tool per person!

The Iron Blood Mercenary Group has eighteen members, which means eighteen earth-grade spiritual tools—what an extravagant amount of resources!

Even the He Family would probably need a considerable amount of time to stockpile that much, right?

"Are you willing to risk your lives and join me in navigating these troubled waters?"

Gu Han gave a light smile,

"I will naturally not let anyone down."

Xiao Qing looked at Gu Han's serious expression and knew he wasn't just joking.

After Gu Han finished speaking, he went straight to the pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, not even glancing at those spiritual tools.

"We're really getting old; we can't compare to the young people's vision!"
