Chapter 51 - 51 Counting Items
Under the night sky, the entire Sandstorm Stronghold’s ground was dyed red with blood, and the ground was covered with corpses.
Plop.
As the burly body of the Sandstorm Stronghold’s chief fell, Xiao Shi picked up the item that the other party had dropped after his death. He threw it into his storage bag. Then, he began to pick up the dropped items near the many corpses around him.
There were only four bandits above Martial Entry-Level Seven in the Sandstorm Stronghold. The rest of the bandits were all below Martial Entry-Level Seven. In fact, even before Xiao Shi broke through to the ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level, with his strength at that time, he could still destroy this stronghold.
However, his personality was stable. He felt that only after breaking through to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level could he ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Now, in terms of exterminating this Sandstorm Stronghold, it was completely effortless.
Everyone died with a single slash. Even a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist like the Sandstorm Stronghold Chieftain died with a single slash in front of him.
There was no risk at all. This was a one-sided massacre that Xiao Shi was passionate about.
As the saying went, torturing noobs felt good for a moment, but torturing them all the time would always feel good.
Low risk, high benefits. Wonderful!
In terms of numbers, there were about 200 bandits in the entire Sandstorm Stronghold.
Xiao Shi was not sure if he had killed all the bandits. In any case, as long as he saw it, none of them could escape.
He had obtained so many Martial Entry-Level items in one go. It was something he had never done before.
The previous time he gained the most was the first time he had killed someone on the Glazed Moon Mountain during his first mission. However, even then, he only obtained a total of five Martial Entry-Level items and one Qi Martial Level item.
This time, he had obtained more than 200 Martial Entry-Level items in an instant.
This made Xiao Shi extremely excited.
After killing all the bandits in the stronghold, he began to plunder the stronghold.
Although he had already dropped many items after killing these bandits, Xiao Shi was also prepared to take away the other things in the stronghold.
Unfortunately, this stronghold was not rich.
After searching around, he did not find anything valuable. However, he discovered a strange scene in the village.
Somewhere in the stronghold, Xiao Shi was surprised to discover that there were many corpses here. At first glance, there were at least hundreds of corpses. They covered the ground densely. At the same time, there was a black nail on the forehead of each corpse.
This strange scene made Xiao Shi frown. Perhaps it was the effect of the nails, but these corpses were all well preserved and did not decompose.
“Why did they pile up so many corpses here?
Xiao Shi knew that the corpse of the night patroller could be exchanged for a bounty from the Senluo Organization. However, these corpses were not the corpses of the night patrollers. This made him very puzzled.
“It seems that this bandit stronghold still has unknown secrets.”
However, there were no longer any living people in the stronghold.
Xiao Shi could not know the secret. He thought for a moment. He decided to light a fire in the Sandstorm Stronghold.
No matter what his motive was, Xiao Shi did not intend to leave these corpses behind. Together with the bandits of the Sandstorm Stronghold, they were all reduced to ashes in the flames.
“Done!” After doing all of this, Xiao Shi’s figure moved and he left silently.
About an hour after he left.
Swoosh!
Two figures shrouded in black robes rushed over from afar. However, when they arrived, the entire Sandstorm Stronghold had already turned into charred ruins.
“Damn it! We were a step too late!”
The two of them looked at the ruins in front of them and trembled with anger. When they received the Sandstorm Stronghold Chieftain’s cry for help, they had already rushed over at the first moment.
Unexpectedly, they were still a step too late.
What infuriated them the most was that the person who destroyed the Sandstorm Stronghold had actually set this place on fire!!
This made their hearts bleed.
So what if the Sandstorm Stronghold was destroyed? They didn’t care. However, the corpses in the Sandstorm Stronghold were extremely important to them. But now, they were all burned to ashes.
“If I find out who did it, I’ll definitely tear him into pieces!”
The two black-robed men gritted their teeth.
… .
After returning to Golden Cloud City, Xiao Shi began to count his gains this time.
As there were too many items this time, he first made a simple categorization. Among them, there were 16 weapons, 27 pills, 32 types of various materials, five cultivation technique manuals, and the rest were all miscellaneous things.
After completing the classification, Xiao Shi distinguished the quality of these items. It is mainly divided into high quality and ordinary quality. Most of the items were of ordinary quality. There were a total of six high-quality items.
Xiao Shi immediately checked these six high-quality items.

Xiao Shi looked at the six high-quality items.
The two natural treasures were very important. They could allow him to reach the seventh Body Tempering.
With two more natural treasures, he could complete the final nine Body Tempering.
As for the other items, the [Protective Mirror] was a protective item that could withstand a Qi Martial Realm attack.
The Blood and Qi Boost Pill could increase a large amount of blood and qi in a short period of time, but there was a time limit.
As for the remaining array formations and puppet, they could only be used through blood and qi.
Xiao Shi prepared to try using it first to see the specific effect.
