That was no cesspit!
Among the pile of broken toys, he saw a familiar light flickering.
That was the light of Exotic Treasure.
Yes!
He suddenly realized that the Crocodile had swallowed countless Strange Entities corpses over the years. Even if the drop rate of rare Exotic Treasure was low, surely a few would have fallen. And these glowing objects were nothing more than Rare toys to the Crocodile.
He slowly picked up the thin White Light Wraith Hide in his hand.
-
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Eternal Night Land Deed
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": Must be placed within "Eerie Fire". After placement, the lord will have absolute ownership of the land within the Camp area. Without permission, no one else can build or place any buildings within the Camp area.
-
"..."
Chen Fan looked at the gossamer-thin Wraith Hide in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath before turning to the Crocodile beside him, its face full of expectation. "Hey, can I have this?"
The Crocodile nodded eagerly, its eyes full of joy, clearly delighted that its new friend accepted its toy.
"Um..."
He tentatively picked up another Exotic Treasure from the pile of toys. "Can I have this too?"
This is a Building Blueprint.
-
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Wind Tower.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": White.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": A special Defensive Structure Blueprint that can generate strong winds.
-
This time, the Crocodile seemed a little hesitant. After struggling for a while, it reluctantly looked away from the Building Blueprint that was flashing White Light, but still nodded heavily.
"And this one, and this one, and this one..."
Chen Fan picked up the remaining three Exotic Treasure from the pile of toys in one go, and tentatively looked at the Crocodile while holding them in his hands.
The next moment.
The Crocodile's mood visibly sombered; he even saw tears welling up in his eyes, as if he were about to burst into tears at any moment.
"500 Roast Meat!"
Seeing this, Chen Fan quickly held up five fingers and said, "I'll give you 500 Roast Meat; that'll fill a whole new storage room."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Crocodile immediately perked up again, its eyes darting around as it thought for a moment before nodding emphatically and slapping its tail excitedly and expectantly.
"Call..."
Chen Fan looked at the Crocodile had regained his cheerful demeanor, and felt a little embarrassed, as if he were teasing a child. "Well, don't you like Rare things? I'll find you more toys in the future."
I don't know if the Crocodile understood.
The Crocodile then pulled out some lush green flowers from another corner, quickly swallowed them, and then signaled that it was time to go back.
The man and the crocodile once again walked out of the Cave along the main road.
We prepared to descend the mountain and return to camp.
But at that moment—
Chen Fan suddenly stopped. Only then did he notice a Deep Pit at the Cave entrance, filled with excrement and Eerie Stone. He stood there stunned for a long while before turning his head blankly to look at the Crocodile: "Brother, what's this...?"
The Crocodile tilted its head and looked at him with a puzzled expression before demonstrating by walking to the edge of the Deep Pit and sticking its rear end out into the air.
A clump of foul-smelling feces fell into the Deep Pit.
She looked at him again.
It's as if to say, "What's there to doubt about in a cesspool?"
"What?"
Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. "Brother, can I have these things?"
I'm worried the Crocodile won't understand.
He then took out an Eerie Stone from his pocket, kissed it, and carefully put it back into his pocket, as if to tell the Crocodile how important the Eerie Stone was to him.
The next moment.
He could almost see the disgust and fear in the Crocodile's eyes.
That expression...
It was like seeing someone eating shit.
Although puzzled, the Crocodile generously nodded in agreement, then patted its belly and shook its head quickly and firmly, its meaning extremely clear: it could use its belly to help its friend carry the Soil out of the Canyon, but it would absolutely not use its belly to carry the dung back.
"It's alright!"
Chen Fan grinned. "Leave the rest to us. Let's go, brothers, back to camp!"
He climbed back onto the Crocodile and quickly descended the mountain.
He turned around, mounted his Skeleton Horse, and rode back to Camp along the Canyon.
That's not a cesspool at all.
It's clearly a mountain of gold!
With the addition of these Eerie Stones, he can complete his "Meat Grinder" defenses more quickly and make the Camp much safer!
There's still some time before it gets dark.
Chen Fan Zhou Mo, and the others had arrived at the mountaintop fully armed. Zhou Mo, with his sleeves rolled up, stood at the edge of the latrine and looked at the Eerie Stone covered in excrement, laughing excitedly and completely ignoring the foul smell in the air.
A little dirt is good.
I don't feel at ease handling something that isn't dirty; I worry it might shorten my lifespan.
Everyone in the Camp except Qi Chong was present.
Everyone rolled up their sleeves, grabbed shovels and other tools, and jumped into the cesspool. After wiping the excrement around the General Strange stone clean, they placed it next to the boxes they had brought up—the same five boxes used to Funeral Wraith Chief.
"So many... so many..."
Wang Kui, like Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination, never stopped smiling. Standing in the soft, mushy latrine, he carefully cleaned each Eerie Stone and placed it into a box. For a warehouse manager, having more Eerie Stone in the Warehouse brought him great satisfaction.
The group had a clear division of labor.
The latrine, which was about to overflow, gradually became shallower, while the empty box slowly bulged up.
"..."
Chen Fan stood to the side in the rain, watching the scene with a smile on his face. He didn't participate; as the lord, he needed to control the overall situation, and these detailed tasks could be left to his subordinates.
He turned his head and looked into the heavy rain not far away.
The Crocodile was lying on the ground, looking at them with a complex expression, its pupils conveying an extremely obscure emotion.
Time passed little by little.
The five large boxes were completely full, and the quantity looked astonishing. After all, most of them were Level-1 Eerie Stone, giving it a feeling of sudden wealth, although the quantity was actually less than the Eerie Stone obtained after killing the Funeral Wraith Chief.
The total number after counting is 4492.
The already runny latrine became even softer and more mushy after it was excavated.
"Not bad."
Chen Fan looked at the Crocodile that had been lying on the ground the whole time with considerable satisfaction, grinned, and said, "Let's go home!"
Just then...
The Crocodile crawled to another flat area and scratched the ground a few times with its claws, creating another completely filled cesspool. This cesspool had been filled for who knows how long, and it was already starting to ferment.
The moment it reappeared, the aroma of aged liquor wafted over.
The Crocodile quickly fled to a distance, unwilling to come any closer.
Zhou Mo and the others, who were already somewhat unsatisfied, were taken aback at first, but then excitedly grabbed their weapons and rushed over again, their voices trembling with excitement.
"Besides!?"
"It's official! Station Master! This time it's really official!"
