I looked back at the town, which was now just an outline, with faint, barely visible points of light.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, "This isn't a bloody cave; it's clearly a series of resource-rich areas!"
You should know that last time he sold the Divine Essence Fruit, and sold two fruits for three extraordinary spirit crystals.
And this trip to this small town has provided him with two fruits.
Even if you factor in the spiritual energy cost of using the Jianmu tree to support the growth of these fruits, it's still a huge profit.
Looking at the mini-map, which showed the 17 towns and 3 cities that the Devis family had explored, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a smile.
He hugged Ye Qingya tightly and kissed her, "Haha, Sister Qingya, we're rich!"
Ye Qingya blushed, gave him a light tap in annoyance, and then asked curiously.
"What do you mean by getting rich?"
"Haha, my tamed beast just absorbed these faith crystals and then produced two fruits."
I've sold these fruits before; two of them can fetch three extraordinary-grade spirit crystals!
Ye Qingya was initially puzzled, then suddenly realized, "So, these towns are...?"
"So, I said we're rich!" Qin Xiao said happily, holding the map high in his hand.
"Ilya, let's go! Two hundred miles ahead! Let's rob them out!"
Regardless of the town's condition or whether it had valuable treasures in circulation, Qin Xiao was in high spirits, his main motivation being his faith.
Uncovering secrets and collecting treasures—it's so satisfying to be able to do both at the same time.
In just three days, Qin Xiao plundered all the cities in the entire southern part of this underground cave.
They plundered a total of 27 towns and 5 major cities, reaping a considerable harvest.
In addition to some basic spirit crystals and metal minerals, there are also a total of 97 fruits growing on the Jianmu tree!
The speed at which money is being made is too fast, almost unreal.
The extraordinary-grade spirit crystals from the last batch of fruits haven't been used up much yet, and this batch has already arrived.
What kind of situation is this? It's impossible to spend all the money!
Unless it is all given to Jianmu to generate that power to annihilate the black flames.
Of course, that's impossible; we'll just have to make things difficult for the child for now.
It was late at night on the third day when I had just left the city lord's mansion in a town.
Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between day and night here; instead, the distinction is made through the intermittent appearance of bioluminescent plants.
"Qin Xiao, we've seized so many cities, have you noticed a problem?"
Ye Qingya sat in Qin Xiao's lap and asked with a slight frown.
"What problem? I think everything is normal."
Qin Xiao counted the faith crystals and then poured them all into the demon realm space of Jianmu.
"Aren't the defenses in these towns too weak? Even for the sake of control, church personnel have hardly ever shown up."
Qin Xiao was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he hadn't actually seen any of the so-called church members in these dozens of towns.
Those city lords all claimed to be members of some church's Mass or something similar, but it was all just a gimmick.
It seems that actual church members have rarely appeared.
There have never been any church members with platinum or diamond ranks like the one who appeared last time.
"Is it possible that after the church was wiped out last time, the members here all retreated to the central area?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "After all, we are still in the southern region, and we need to continue north to reach the central area."
"I hope so. I'm a little worried that something might have happened to the church, which would mean uncontrollable factors."
Ye Qingya pondered, her expression somewhat uneasy.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there really is a problem, we can just run away. We've already made a lot of money from this."
Even without figuring out the truth, at least he had gained some benefits, which Qin Xiao could accept.
We found a place to rest for the time being. Three consecutive days of high-intensity robbery had been quite tiring.
After eating the dinner prepared by Ilya, Qin Xiao went into the cabin early to discuss life with Ye Qingya.
The next day.
Qin Xiao leaned against the headboard, looking at the newly collected map, and then crossed out a town.
Ye Qingya leaned against his chest, "Where are we going next? Or are we going to keep fighting our way in?"
Qin Xiao subconsciously reached out and kneaded, "Following this direction, the next city will be the central area."
Even if communication here is underdeveloped, we should still be able to gather some intelligence. We'll decide what to do next based on the situation.
The main problem is that there has been virtually no resistance so far, which has made Qin Xiao somewhat uneasy.
There must be something going on in this underground cave, which is why this church hasn't reacted at all.
Although he said yesterday that he would run away if things went wrong, Qin Xiao still chose to be cautious.
After getting up and tidying up for a while, Qin Xiao transformed into a tree-man, and Ye Qingya also merged with the Red Lotus Fire Fox.
After these days of robbery, Qin Xiao finally figured out that the church members here were not much different from the orcs outside.
Therefore, transforming into orc form would make it easier for them to move around.
Less than an hour after setting off, Youyou sped up and quickly approached the great city.
The city was surrounded by towering walls, and the buildings inside were all neat stone and wooden houses. The residents were also generally dressed in fairly complete clothing.
Unlike the towns before, where everything was rattling and clattering, whether it was female or male.
They seem to have no particular feelings about these sexual characteristics. I wonder if it's because of the inability to reproduce. It seems that their sexual desire is very low.
This town gave Qin Xiao a different feeling; it was as if he had arrived in a town in the territory of the Swan Clan on the ground.
The orderly layout reveals a hint of wildness and unbridled nature, making it more like a city of orcs.
"Is the protection of this thing divided into different areas?" Qin Xiao muttered curiously.
Ye Qingya nodded. "It feels noticeably different here. Perhaps it really is divided into different areas, otherwise why would people in those towns place so much importance on their location?"
Qin Xiao paused, somewhat surprised, and said, "Holy crap, is that thing still here, still active?"
Qin Xiao was referring to that so-called mother, who might be a Grey Whisperer or an incarnation of another deity.
However, if the other party's influence remains and they are still active, then this exploration activity needs to be carefully reconsidered.
Qin Xiao looked rather grim, but since he was already here, he decided to ask the city lord first.
The two didn't linger. After asking a few questions, they quickly headed towards the location of the city lord's mansion.
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, one finds it quite lively.
Large and small bags were being loaded onto various strange beast-shaped vehicles, and some elegantly dressed women were boarding horse-drawn carriages.
Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya exchanged a glance, somewhat confused about the situation.
Is the city lord moving?
Are their reputations as a duo of male and female demons really that intimidating?
