Sneider This guy really did not disappoint Zhang Tie.

He only stretched out his hand to fumble around in Sneider's arms, and Zhang Tie found the heavy money bag that he had been thinking about all day. He took the money bag out of Sneider's arms, shook it hard twice, and listened to the crisp sound of rushing inside, every pore in Zhang Tie's body was opened.

This sound was so beautiful that Zhang Tie felt that it was simply the best sound he had ever heard in his whole life. Even the beautiful singing in the choir in the church was eclipsed by this monotonous clatter, and was as dull as a duck's quacking.

Clatter, clatter, Zhang Tie took the money bag to his ears again and shook it twice. This time, not only the pores on his body, but also his heart became happy.

After a few shudders and a few more shakes, Zhang Tie felt that all his efforts yesterday were worth it.

Crash, clatter, shake twice more, Zhang Tie felt like he saw Daina's honest smile...

Crash, clatter, shake twice more, and the whole world becomes vivid...

Zhang Tie, who was holding the money bag, was like a mentally retarded child. He shook the money bag in front of his ears twice, then gave a silly smile on his face, shook it twice more, and then another silly smile. Zhang Tie played such a boring game for five or six minutes before he burst into laughter.

Let me see how many surprises this wallet can give me!

Opening the money bag, Zhang Tie, who was squatting on the ground, turned the money bag upside down and shook it vigorously. With a crash, all the money inside was shaken out by Zhang Tie. The silver and golden light almost made Zhang Tie was so excited that he went into shock. Zhang Tie's hands were trembling as he picked up a gold coin from the small pile of money in front of him and looked at it carefully - on the front of the gold coin was a huge smoking locomotive. On the back of the gold coin, there is the alliance logo of the Andaman Alliance 17 star ring - this is a gold coin issued by the Andaman Alliance and known as the "Locomotive" in the market. It has been so big in this life, Zhang Tie has never really touched a gold coin of his own. He weighed this heavy gold coin in his hands and felt the weight of the gold coin. Zhang Tie's heart was filled with something called happiness.

With the harvest of this bag of money, Zhang Tie became more motivated and continued to touch Sneider. This time, he touched a piece of skin from Sneider's waist. After opening the medicine bag, Zhang Tie just turned around and took a look and smelled a strange smell of medicine. There were several small bottles of different colors inserted into the sockets of the medicine bag. Unfortunately, there were no names on the bottles, so Zhang Tie also had no way of knowing what kind of medicine was in those bottles. With Zhang Tie's level, he naturally couldn't tell what was in those bottles just by smelling it. After thinking about it, Zhang Tie put those bottles in a leather bag and put them on Sneider. These things were to be destroyed. Zhang Tie was not interested in exploring how to use the things in the bottles.

Apart from these two items, nothing else was found on Sneider's body. But even so, Zhang Tie was very satisfied.

After searching Sneider and Zhang Tie, he searched again for Hark. Hark also had a money bag on him. Looking at this equally heavy money bag, Zhang Tie almost had a brain congestion and shook Hark's money and Sneider's money to the ground. Zhang Tie took two deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, and started groping Hark's body again. This time, on Hark's waist During the period, a medicine bag was also found. In the medicine bag of Hark, Zhang Tie found four bottles of Golden Sore Medicine. These Golden Sore Medicine are all products produced by the Continental Alchemist Guild. From the packaging to the logo on the bottle, they are all of the same standard. Tang De has this stuff in the grocery store. Zhang Tie opened a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then dipped a little with his finger to taste. The medicine is very effective and the quality is very good. It can be judged that it has not been adulterated. It is now available on the market. It is too difficult to get a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine that has not been adulterated, especially in those shops near the train station. Those adulterated Golden Sore Medicine will add taro powder into it. Generally, the amount of adulteration is about 5% to 20% of the dosage. Taro powder is not harmful to people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it. This is also a method used by profiteers to make huge profits, which Zhang Tie learned in the grocery store.

Money bags, medicine pouches, and Prospector's standard personal equipment were all the same on both of them. Apart from that, there was nothing else on either of them.

After searching their bodies, Zhang Tie began to rummage through the two people's luggage again. Sneider's luggage was roughly rummaged through when looking for clothes yesterday. Except for a few clothes, there was nothing else. Hark's luggage had not been rummaged through. Zhang Tie opened Hark's luggage, a palm-sized box was unexpectedly found in Hark's luggage. As soon as he saw the box, Zhang Tie became excited, because that box was Black Flame City's gift box used to package crystals of third grade or above in some boutique crystal shops, Zhang Tie opened the gift box, and two white and transparent double-headed Pyramid Crystal between the third and fourth grades were lying quietly in the box. Zhang Tie picked up the two Pyramid Crystal excitedly. The sand shadows of the two pyramids that had been formed in the two crystals made Zhang Tie burst out laughing. The quality of any one of these two crystals was much better than the several third-grade Pyramid Crystal stored in the Tang De grocery store. It was almost close to the level of fourth-grade crystals. The price of these two Pyramid Crystal alone was at least about ten gold coins.

Zhang Tie had the urge to look up to the sky and scream.

Zhang Tie trembled and took stock of today's harvest. In terms of money, Hark and Sneider contributed a total of 48 gold coins, 79 silver coins to Zhang Tie, and 34 copper coins, although this money may not be much to some people, to Zhang Tie, it is a real huge sum of money, because this money is almost equivalent to Zhang Tie's father's salary for four to five years.

In addition, I also harvested three and a half bottles of Golden Sore Medicine of good quality - one bottle has been half used, and two top-grade third-grade Pyramid Crystal. The value of the latter two items is also about 18 gold coins.

I posted it, I really posted it this time, Zhang Tie was so excited that my face almost cramped.

Although the two leather medicine sachets carried by the two people are worth a little money, the appearance of the two medicine sachets has some wear and scratches. If these wear and scratches fall into the eyes of people who are familiar with Hark and Sneider, they will inevitably be recognized, so these two medicine sachets Zhang Tie are also planned to be discarded.

After pouring out all the contents of the glove box, he properly recovered the gold coins, Golden Sore Medicine, and Pyramid Crystal into the glove box that he placed in Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie came back and started dragging Hark's body towards Pool of Chaos. Pool of Chaos inside Castle of Black Iron is the best place to destroy evidence of crime.

The Pond of Hundi is about two hundred meters away from Zhang Tie's location, and Sneider's body is at least more than 150 kilograms. It is lifeless, and it takes a lot of effort to drag it. Zhang Tie starts I started by dragging Hark's feet, but after walking less than fifty steps, I looked at the moderately shallow ditch plowed by the heavy Hark in the soft ground, and Zhang Tie wiped my forehead. With the sweat on his head, he felt that this method seemed more strenuous, then Zhang Tie changed his position, lifted Hark's body from the ground and let his upper body sit up, and then Zhang Tie squatted behind Hark, passed his hands through Hark's armpits, half-hugged Hark, and dragged Hark on his head and feet. This way, it really saved a lot of trouble.

People can indeed burst out with huge potential when they are in danger. At this time, dragging this body that weighs more than 100 kilograms is really hard for Zhang Tie. Yesterday, I was so weak that I still carried this guy to Castle of Black Iron. Zhang Tie even began to admire myself.

Using this position to half-hug and half-drag a person, Zhang Tie's arms inevitably had some friction with Hark's armpit body. After dragging another 50 meters, Zhang Tie felt the inner side of his right arm and the inner side of his left arm. It seems to be completely different. The inner side of the right arm, where it contacts Hark's armpit, is obviously softer than the left side. There seems to be something padded in Hark's clothes. When dragging, it slides under Zhang Tie's arm through the clothes.

Is there anything else that has not been found? Zhang Tie put down Hark's body, and then groped for the armpit of Hark's clothes again. With this touch, Zhang Tie discovered that there was really a piece of something stuffed in the inner armor of Hark's clothes near the armpit of his right hand. Then There is a small inconspicuous opening inside, which you can't find if you are not careful. After unzipping Hark's coat, Zhang Tie put his hand into the opening on the right side of Hark's inner armor, which is under the armpit. He touched it and felt that there seemed to be a piece of fabric that felt good to the touch. Then Zhang Tie pulled the piece of fabric out of the secret little pocket.

Hey, the red cloth, my dear, is made of silk. It's very expensive. What does it mean for a grown man to wear a piece of red cloth to ward off evil spirits? This was Zhang Tie's first feeling when he saw that piece of red cloth.

Then, Zhang Tie shook out the piece of red silk cloth and found that the cloth was very similar to the masks worn by executioners during executions. This piece of cloth made a cover that just covered the person's head, and there were two holes dug in the front of the cloth for the eyes. Above the two holes, there was a strange pattern embroidered on the forehead, with a black and terrifying skull symbol in the middle of the pattern.

Damn, what kind of taste is this? I have never seen such an ugly mask in my whole life. Just when Zhang Tie wanted to throw away this red mask, a piece of information flashed in Zhang Tie's mind...

A terrifying red hood like an executioner... a black skull on the hood... a murderous man with bloody hands...

Zhang Tie's face turned pale instantly. Looking at the mask symbolizing death and blood in his hand, a word suddenly popped up in Zhang Tie's mind - Red Scarf Bandits...

Damn! The fifteen-year-old boy was so frightened that he sat down on the ground...
