The six guards followed the sound of the fight to the courtyard where the stone house was located, and when they found Niu Hao's body, they all shouted loudly in horror.

Swift Shadow! Slash!

Alfred turned into a pale blue phantom, and in an instant, flashed past the six guards.

Poof!

Six streams of bright red blood gushed out, and the six guards fell to the ground and died.

In order to quickly evacuate Manniu Village, Alfred grabbed Meng Chen's shoulders and flew through the air at the top of the building.

。。。。。。

Not long after Meng Chen and the others left Manniu Village, Niu Zhen, Niu Ao and others hurried back to the Niu family's mansion and came to the courtyard where the stone house was located.

When looking at the corpse of his second brother Niu Hao, Niu Ao's face instantly turned black as coal.

Niu Zhen hugged Niu Hao's corpse and cried bitterly: "Hao'er died so miserably, who did the poison?" ”

Niu Ao suppressed his anger and carefully examined Niu Hao's wounds and the wounds on the six guards.

After a while, Niu Ao said in a deep voice: "The second brother was first poisoned in his body, and then he was assassinated by a swordsman. The poison is the same as that of the bull, and it should have been done by the same swordsman. The six guards were also killed by a sword, and the murderer was the mysterious swordsman last night! ”

"The remnants of Taoyuan Village? Don't...... Is this retribution? Niu Zhen lamented.

Looking back at the iron gate of the stone house, Niu Ao rejoiced: "The iron door of the secret vault has not been broken, it seems that the murderer did not succeed." ”

At this time, one of the guards exclaimed, "Village Chief, Uncle, there is a big hole on the side of the secret vault!" ”

"What?" Niu Zhen and Niu Ao exclaimed.

When he saw the big hole with his own eyes, Niu Zhen looked incredulous, "How is it possible?" The entire body of the secret vault is made of black black stone, and the thickness reaches half a zhang, even if it is a quenching body realm martial artist, it is impossible to break it in a short time! ”

Niu Zhen and Niu Ao quickly passed through the large hole and entered the interior of the stone hut.

Looking at the empty ground, Niu Zhen showed a ghostly expression, and said in horror: "The treasure chest is made of dark iron, weighing one hundred and twenty stones, how could it be stolen, could it be the ghost god's doing?" ”

Niu Ao's face was gloomy, and he said hatefully: "It should be a secret treasure." Damn it! I didn't expect that now, the remnants of Taoyuan Village still have such a background. ”

Niu Zhen beat his chest and said: "Three bloodline refining pills are enough, the Hellfire Order is related to a big opportunity." Now that this Hellfire Order has been stolen by the remnants of Taoyuan Village, what should we do? ”

"Humph! In that case, then spread the news that the remnants of Taoyuan Village have the Hellfire Order. This Wraiflame Order will be their talisman! Niu Ao snorted coldly.

"But...... The whereabouts of the remnants of Taoyuan Village are secretive, and even if the news is spread, it will be difficult to catch them. Niu Zhen sighed.

Niu Ao said in a deep voice: "Dad, don't worry, I ......"

。。。。。。

Meng Chen and Alfred quietly returned to the shack.

Taking out two wooden boxes from his arms, Meng Chen laughed and said, "Tonight is lucky, not only did I kill the breeding cattle of Manniu Village, but also unexpectedly harvested two treasures. ”

The two wooden crates aside, the 12 units of metal (green) recovered alone can be exchanged for 480 gold coins on the market.

Meng Chen opened a wooden box, and a square token was placed inside.

The token is pitch black throughout, with strange patterns on the surface, an ancient seal script - "fire" engraved on the front, and a pattern outlined by a few dark red stripes on the back, somewhat like a burning flame.

Looking at this flame pattern, Meng Chen had a sense of déjà vu.

"This pattern...... I think I've seen it before. That's right! The blue-gray robe that I picked up from the Energy Ore Cave also had the same pattern on my left chest. Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

The light curtain in his mind could not identify this token, so Meng Chen could only shake his head helplessly and put this token away.

Then, Meng Chen opened another wooden box, and a small porcelain bottle was placed inside, and the small porcelain bottle contained three pale red pills.

Through the light curtain in his mind, Meng Chen checked the information of the pill.

Unknown Elixir (pale green)

Effect 1: Strength + (3~5)

Effect 2: Dexterity + (1~3)

Effect 2: Has a chance to activate the power hidden in the bloodline.

Note: Only when taken for the first time can the effect of the pill be exerted.

"Hiss~!"

After checking the attributes of the elixir, Meng Chen gasped and exclaimed, "The attribute can add up to 8 pills, there is such a treasure in Manniu Village?" …… It's a pity that you can only take one. ”

After a moment of silence, Meng Chen took out an elixir and swallowed it in his abdomen.

Less than ten breaths after taking the pill, Meng Chen felt a majestic power of qi and blood, flowing from his abdomen along the tendons and veins to the limbs.

Because this power of qi and blood was too irritable, the skin of Meng Chen's whole body turned blood-red in the blink of an eye, and a few bones even made a burst of strange sounds.

At the same time, the severe pain continued to stimulate Meng Chen's nerves, and Meng Chen already faintly regretted taking this pill in his heart.

With Meng Chen's current physical fitness, taking the light green quality pill was obviously a bit beyond the body's ability to bear.

Alfred sensed Meng Chen's abnormality, but there was no good way to alleviate Meng Chen's pain.

Worried that the screams would attract the patrolling guards, Meng Chen could only grit his teeth and endure silently.

After about half an hour, the effect of the pill finally wore off.

At this time, Meng Chen's clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Collapsed weakly on the bed, Meng Chen groaned and said, "It's finally over!" Later...... I...... I don't dare to take pills anymore! ”

"Boss, are you alright?" Alfred asked with a concerned look on his face.

Meng Chen waved his hand, pointed to the small porcelain bottle and said, "You can also take a pill, this is a good thing!" ”

Alfred nodded, took out an elixir and swallowed it.

Soon, Alfred's face was a strange blood red.

Less than five minutes had passed, and Alfred took a long breath and said with a happy face: "Boss, this pill is really a good thing!" ”

"......" Meng Chen was speechless, and he only had one sentence of MMP in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Thinking of the other special effect of the elixir, Meng Chen immediately checked his attributes through the light curtain.

"Strength increases by 4 points, agility increases by 2 points, but bloodline power or something, it doesn't ......appear," Meng Chen said secretly.

As for Alfred, it also only increased the basic attributes, and did not activate the power hidden in the bloodline.

The last remaining pill, Meng Chen planned to bring back to Ellie.

After putting away the token and elixir, Meng Chen gradually fell into a deep sleep with a look of fatigue.
