BXBX NOVEL Chapter 722 - 722 Have You Been Reading Too Many Tomb Robbing Stories?
“Other than a bunch of broken houses, what else can we have here? It can’t be that they’re here to fight in the wild, right?”
“I guess it’s too comfortable in the city, so they came to experience the customs of the ancient city.”
“I heard that we might be building a tourist area here. Could it be that they heard something and came to scout the place in advance?”
“That’s really possible. These rich people are the most well-informed.”
“If we really turn this place into a tourist attraction, won’t we all be rich?”
Hearing their guesses, the blond immediately stood up and patted the dirt off his butt. “Let’s go, follow them and see what they want.”
He was the leader of this group. As soon as he left, the others immediately followed.

After Ye Feng and Zhuang Xiaojiao entered the ancient city, they found a place to park their car and started walking.
The ancient city still maintained its original flavor. If it weren’t for the modern equipment such as utility poles and street lamps that could be seen on the streets from time to time, it would really give people the illusion that they had traveled back in time.
There were not many young people on the street. Most of them had probably gone to the city to work. Only a few old men and women sat on the street to cool down. At this moment, they were looking at the two of them curiously.
Ye Feng did not care about this. Ever since he entered the ancient city, he had activated the system’s deep scanning function.
After the upgrade last night, the depth scanning range had been expanded to 100 meters, greatly reducing the difficulty of the search.
Zhuang Xiaojiao looked at the rows of streets and felt a headache coming on. “What do we do now? We can’t go door-to-door to collect antiques, right? Isn’t that like looking for a needle in a haystack?”
Ye Feng looked at her helplessly. “Then do you have any ideas?”
Zhuang Xiaojiao shook her head. “No, I heard that there might be antiques here. Don’t ask me about the rest. I don’t know either.”
Ye Feng smiled at her. “Don’t worry, I’m prepared.”
As he spoke, he took out a compass that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. “With this, we will definitely be able to find the treasure.”
Zhuang Xiaojiao looked at him as if he was crazy. “Are you kidding me? Have you read too many tomb robbing novels? You can find the treasure with this thing?”
Ye Feng revealed a strong and confident smile. “You don’t understand. Just follow behind me.”
As he spoke, he began to close his eyes and cast a spell. At the same time, he muttered, “Looking for the dragon to divide the gold and look at the winding mountain. If there were a thousand locks on the door, there must be a prince living here… Set!”
Zhuang Xiaojiao was stunned. This guy really looked like an immortal.
At this moment, a smile appeared on his face. “I found it. Let’s go.”
After saying that, he walked toward a house.
Although Zhuang Xiaojiao was skeptical, she still quickly followed him.
At the same time, the group of hoodlums following behind the two of them looked at each other.
“Did you hear them clearly? What did they just say?”
“It’s a little far away, so I can’t hear it clearly. They seemed to be talking about collecting antiques and finding dragons to split the gold.”
“These two are indeed not simple. They actually dare to come to our ancient city to collect antiques?”
“How can we have any antiques here? The old items in the house were probably sold out decades ago, right?”
“Don’t make a fuss first. Follow and take a look.”
The yellow-haired man once again made the final decision. With a gloomy face, he took the lead and followed.
The others also scrambled to catch up.
..
Ye Feng purposely made a show as he came to the door of a house.
He had already detected through the system’s in-depth scanning function that this family did indeed have a valuable old item. This made him extremely happy. He did not expect to obtain it so quickly. It seemed that he had made the right choice to come to the ancient city.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door slowly opened.
A hunchbacked old man looked at the two of them. “Who are you looking for?”
Before Ye Feng could say anything, Zhuang Xiaojiao, who was beside him, told him honestly, “We are here to collect antiques. Do you have any antiques?”
Ye Feng almost vomited blood. Why did this stupid woman say everything? If you said you wanted to buy the antiques, they would definitely ask for a high price.
When the old man heard her report herself, his old face immediately revealed a depressed expression.
“Sigh, whenever I talk about this, my intestines turn green with regret. My family did have a lot of antiques in the past. They were all passed down from the older generation. A few years ago, there were quite a few people who came to collect antiques. I was still wondering how much a pile of junk could be worth. I sold them all at once. Later on, I found out that those things were worth a lot of money. I really regretted it…”
Although many years had passed, the old man was so angry that his beard trembled when he mentioned this. It could be seen how much psychological trauma this matter had caused him.
When Zhuang Xiaojiao heard this, she was dumbfounded. “Sold them all? You didn’t leave anything behind?”
The old man sighed and nodded. “There’s nothing left. You can go look elsewhere.”
As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
At this time, Ye Feng suddenly pushed against the door. “Can I go in and take a look?”
