Qianye closed the baron's diary, went through the key points in his mind, confirmed that he had memorized it, then lit the entire notebook, and watched it slowly burn to ashes, leaving not even a scrap of paper, and finally all Stir into muddy water.
Some of the distinctive gadgets in Darul's backpack were left in place, and Qianye sank these things together with the corpse into a deep swamp hundreds of meters away from the scene.
After another day or two, all traces left by the baron in the black swamp will be erased naturally, and no one will be able to trace back what happened. Baron Darul Kuras will henceforth be marked as missing on the Kindred list. This situation is not uncommon, including the black-winged king Anduya who has not been seen until now.
Qianye kept the rune fragments close to him. He didn't know if the information he got from the baron's diary was true, and he didn't know if this seemingly plausible rune fragment was actually part of the key. The treasure-hunting hobby of the dark race has even been heard by the human race. There are many rumors, true and false, that come out every year. joke.
However, this matter is too involved, especially when the dark race launched a war this time. There is such a ridiculous factor in it that the human race seems to have. I can't discuss it with anyone. Treasures can become a disaster at any time.
However, Qianye's current trophies are quite impressive. The two short guns are top-quality products signed by craftsmen. If they are auctioned in the empire's mainland, they can be sold for at least 3,000 yuan. Those descendants of aristocratic families who love guns have enough time and energy to verify the origin of the craftsman's signature on the short gun. If those were two prestigious names, the price could have skyrocketed to over five thousand.
However, such huge profits can only be imagined. Since Qianye wants to hide the news of Baron Darul, the things he got can only be treated as stolen goods of unknown origin. Thousands of prices are already very good.
With the lessons learned from Twin Flowers, the current Qianye will of course never ask for trouble again.
The fourth-level fine dagger is easy to carry on various occasions, coupled with the elegant and luxurious appearance of the blood clan, it will be a very popular commodity. The demand for long swords will be narrower, but it is not impossible to sell. As for the third-level armor, there is no market for it.
The core value of the armor is in the original force array, but the original force array of the blood race is of course suitable for driving by the power of blood. Other types of dark force have to be discounted, and the discount for the dawn force is even greater. But it was useless to other people, but Yu Qianye didn't have this obstacle, so he took this thing for his own use.
Qianye calculated the value of the original force gun and knives, but it was not satisfactory, at least enough for his "Dark Fire Mercenary Group" to develop for half a year. It is development, not just food and clothing.
Another wealth left by Baron Darul is a detailed map of the Black Marsh, which shows three safe routes through the Black Marsh. These routes are of course the work of the nerubians. The giant swamp spiders are a tyrant in the swamp. It is because of them that the dark races can pass through the black swamp and appear on the flanks of the human defense line.
However, the environment of the Black Marsh is really harsh, especially the stench, which is lethal to all living things, especially the vampires and demons. If it weren't for the great attraction of the Black King's treasure, even Baron Darul, who likes to explore the secret realm, would not appear in such a place.
This road map made Qianye change his previous plan of just coming to the Black Marsh to familiarize himself with the terrain. The huge swamp area of hundreds of kilometers also has enough room for movement. He decided to continue to go deep into the hinterland, not only to verify the map records, but also to See if there is a chance to ambush the dark race.
In the second half of the night as he continued to move toward the depths of the swamp, Qianye encountered countless attacks, all of which were native creatures from the black swamp.
Where there are blood vines, there will be flying insects, and occasionally horned snakes. Of course Qianye wouldn't be stung by the horned snakes now, he smashed all their organs with his shining fangs. The skin, gall, horns, and venom glands of a horned snake that have been kept intact can fetch a lot of money. A horned snake can be worth at least dozens of gold coins.
In the middle of the night, Qianye dug up more than a dozen blood vines and caught three horned snakes, which was not without merit. But in terms of quick money, nothing compares to robbing and killing a high-level vampire. This made Qianye quite emotional.
But that was actually a baron. If he hadn't fallen into Qianye's trap too carelessly, it might be Qianye who was hunted down after going deep into the swamp. Since Darul has thought of turning him into a descendant, he may suddenly strike at some point.
Going deeper, Qianye was attacked by a group of swamp crocodiles. He killed several giant crocodiles in a row before forcing them back. Then I encountered a killer fish that was only the size of a palm, but could bite through ordinary leather armor with one bite.
Spiders the size of basins, black leeches more than one meter long, and giant worms that cannot be named appeared endlessly.
The skin of the swamp crocodile, the eggs of the killer fish, and the silk of the spider can all be sold for a good price. Qianye now understands why there are so many scavengers and herb pickers in Heini Town. The blood vines and other materials in Qianye's backpack are enough to completely change the lives of dozens of scavengers.
These scavengers follow the rumors, dreaming that good luck will fall on them especially, maybe they can find blood vines without horned snakes nearby, or they can get freshly laid killer fish eggs. It's just that reality is always cruel, good luck doesn't come often, but danger is an eternal theme.
Thousands of scavengers die in the black swamp every year, but only a few can really make a fortune. However, the deeds of these few lucky people are widely spread and repeated, and people regard the things of these few lucky people as a common law. As for the thousands of people who died, they were completely forgotten by the greedy heart.
The cemetery outside Heimi Town is a silent witness, where the corpses that can be found are buried, but most of the scavengers who died in the Black Marsh have no bones left.
People's attitude towards luck is always like a blinded lover who only pursues a moment of intense joy without thinking about the cost of long-term maintenance. Speaking of it, it seems that feelings mixed with various factors are not pure, but is it right to have feelings without responsibility and responsibility
A little further forward, Qianye saw dozens of abrupt black stone pillars standing in the center of a low-lying land. The land between the stone pillars is flat and dry. Around the stone pillars, there are hundreds of pits of different sizes.
Seeing these pillars, Qianye suddenly became awe-inspiring, restrained all his aura, and observed quietly for a while, not finding anything unusual in the surrounding environment, before slowly approaching.
Within ten meters around the stone pillars, the air suddenly became dry, and the terrain was several centimeters higher than the surrounding area. Qianye walked to a pit, picked up a handful of soil and looked at it. There are blackened egg shells in the soil.
Seeing these, one can be sure that the earth pit is dug out by the nerubian's servant spiders for rest, and the egg shells are the eggs laid by them. If the hatched little spiders can grow, they will become new servant spiders. Those that don't have a chance to grow will be eaten to provide nourishment for other minion spiders.
Among the stone pillars, there are still traces of camping. Judging from the remaining traces, it was vaguely possible to tell that the previous group of stayers were nerubians and werewolves.
This group of stone pillars is a camp set up by the dark race in the black swamp for the army crossing the swamp to rest. These black stone pillars are extremely ingeniously designed. They are combined to form a natural force array in a way that humans have not been able to decipher until now. Only a few black crystals can run for several years, and a dry and comfortable piece of land can be opened up in the swamp. camp.
Qianye didn't touch anything, he only carefully checked the traces of the camp, his frown relaxed slightly, this camp hadn't been used for a long time. This is the last place where we can camp on a large scale before we get out of the swamp.
Qianye recalled the sign on the Baron Black Marsh map, identified the direction, and then went to another campsite.
If he hadn't gotten the map, he would never have imagined that the dark race had set up as many as five campsites in the black mud swamp, and planned to build a new one. This is the prelude to dispatching the army through the swamp. Just looking at the scale of these campsites, Qianye knew that he would never be able to hold Heini Town with the little manpower he had.
The road in the swamp became more and more difficult to walk, and the carrying capacity of the deep swamp became lower. Even with Qianye's reaction and ability, he had to be more careful now. He had almost fallen into the deep swamp several times. He had to carefully observe the plants on the road ahead to judge whether the ground below was solid.
Out of caution, Qianye did not follow the path opened by the dark race, but moved on both sides. In this way, if there is a troop of the dark race passing by, they can find it immediately without revealing their whereabouts.
Until the second campsite, Qianye did not find any sign of the dark race marching. However, just as he left the second campsite, he suddenly felt a strange danger. Without thinking, he fell down in the muddy water, lightly but quickly sinking his whole body, only his eyes were exposed.
Ripples suddenly appeared on the originally calm water surface, and then Qianye heard a slight rustling sound. A large group of dark gray spiders the size of a washbasin swam past more than ten meters away. Their long legs swiped rapidly, moving very fast, almost floating on the water surface.
These gray spiders are all descendants of giant swamp spiders. Of course, they are not as scary as giant swamp spiders, but they are superior in their large number, and are extremely suitable for geographical environments such as swamps and shallow lakes. And they are very sensitive to the surroundings, especially good at capturing dynamic scenes.
Where the spider passed by, all the native creatures of the swamp lurked like Qianye, and nothing dared to show their heads, and the movements of these creatures to avoid completely covered up the movement of Qianye sinking. After Qianye sank into the water, he remained motionless, like a stone. Sure enough, patches of gray swamp spiders swarmed past, without noticing anything unusual.
