Roger spent the next two nights in the wild, and as Castle Master expected, he absorbed more soul power. [ ] According to Castle Master, the soul power absorbed now is enough.
It's time to build a primary training ground.
Roger was overjoyed to have such a good harvest in just two days. While he asked the Castle Master to seize the time to build a primary training ground, he decided to stay and absorb the power of the soul.
To Roger, things like soul power are like money. No one would think that he has too much money. Since absorbing soul power here is not only fast but also not dangerous, Roger is of course reluctant to leave like this.
.However, it seemed that Roger was destined to never have everything go smoothly, and he ran into trouble on the fourth night.
In fact, the beginning of this night was no different from the previous few days. Roger waited for darkness as usual, lit a bonfire and ate some dry food, and then activated the soul-calling flag when midnight arrived, and began to absorb the power of harvesting the floating souls.
After four nights of hard work, the soul power around here has become much thinner. Roger estimates that after tonight, he will leave here and go back.
On the one hand, this is because there is not much soul power left here, and it is useless to stay here; on the other hand, it is also because the day for Roger's mother to undergo surgery is getting closer and closer, and he must rush back to be with his relatives.
Because the power of the soul has become thinner, the scene after activating the soul-calling flag is not that spectacular. In addition, Roger has been there for four whole nights and is somewhat accustomed to such spectacles, so naturally he is not as excited as he was at the beginning.
He was just chattering as he whirled the soul power closer to the soul-calling flag, thinking about how much time it would take to absorb all the soul power.
"It's almost there, there's still ten minutes at most!" Based on the experience of the past few days, Roger quickly made the correct judgment.
Since arriving at the ruins of this ancient battlefield, Roger has spent the entire five days alone in such a wilderness. Now that he can leave here soon, Roger can't help but feel a little excited, secretly planning to
He would summon the Nightmare Beast and rush to the roadside while it was dark, and wait until dawn to take a bus back to Gaoping City. In this way, he could rush back as soon as possible and not miss the day for his mother's surgery.
Just when Roger was planning how to rush back as quickly as possible, he suddenly heard slight footsteps not far away. He quickly went to the place where the sound came from, and soon he was four feet under the hazy starlight.
A figure is slowly approaching him.
Seeing that in the middle of the night, there were people like him running into the wilderness, Roger immediately thought of what the driver said to him a few days ago.
"Is it really so unlucky to meet those tomb robbers?" Looking at those sneaky figures, Roger couldn't help but thought to himself: "Brothers, we are not in conflict with each other, we all have something to gain.
, but don’t come here!”
However, Roger's mantra-like chanting obviously had no effect. Those guys still walked straight to where he was. One of them said to the others as they walked: "The young master and the fat master both said that this is a
Big fat bucket, I guarantee that none of you will need to make this trip this time!"
"This is the best!" Another big man said angrily: "Business has become increasingly difficult recently. If we don't come up with a few good things, the brothers will have no choice but to drink the northwest wind!"
After hearing the conversation of these people, Roger was sure that they were here to rob the tomb. He didn't know why it was such a coincidence. The place where he chose to absorb the soul power was actually the place where these people found the tomb. Now
There isn't much soul power left floating around, and Roger doesn't want to be here either.
It's time to stop his work. What's more, even if he stops absorbing the power of the soul, there is nowhere to hide in this empty place, and he will still be discovered by the other party, so Roger bites and makes a decision: simply stay here and continue.
Absorb the power of the soul and ignore the tomb robbers who are getting closer and closer.
The few tomb robbers didn't know there was someone in front of them, so they walked quickly towards Roger. A few days ago, they had figured out the situation nearby and determined that they were most likely to dig directly from the small slope in front.
After entering the tomb, several people were looking forward to tonight's harvest and whispered about what good things they might get from this fat bucket.
"At least in terms of shape, it's an old fight from before the Tang Dynasty." A thin guy whispered to his companions: "As long as we can get through the hole, who is the bright weapon inside...?!"
When the guy said this, he was already very close to Roger who was sitting on the ground, and finally noticed someone in front of him through the dim starlight. This surprise was no small matter, and several tomb robbers threw down their tools one after another, and drew out their weapons to prepare for the attack.
No wonder these tomb robbers are so nervous. After all, what they do is shady, and if word gets out, they may lose their heads. What's more, tomb robbers are also taboo, and there is someone who doesn't say a word in the middle of the night.
Fadi was sitting near the ancient tomb. No matter how brave these tomb robbers were, Roger was still shocked.
"It's still been discovered..." Roger sighed secretly in his heart and raised his head to glance at the bands of light that were circling and shrinking around him. It is estimated that he only needs to wait two or three minutes to absorb all the power of the soul. So he also
He had no intention of standing up immediately, but just smiled lightly and said: "I'm just a passerby. I'll rest here for a while and then leave soon. Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."
Roger's words were polite, but how could those tomb robbers believe it? How could such a thing happen? It was in the wilderness in the middle of the night, and someone happened to be resting at the location they had chosen to rob the hole?
Several tomb robbers were also veterans, and they immediately guessed Roger's identity. First of all, they were sure that he was definitely not an official. If he was not Lei Zi, he would be a rival in the underworld. Roger looked like a good person.
As if he didn't come, several tomb robbers without exception turned him into an enemy who wanted to come and take advantage of him.
"Sir, my brothers have figured out this fight a long time ago. Please show your respect and give me a bite to eat." Because they were unsure of Roger's origins, the oldest man stepped forward and said: "
Since we are all on the same path, there is no need to get into a fight and let others laugh at you!"
Roger knew that the other party must have misunderstood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But he only needed the last minute to absorb all the soul power, and he really didn't want to give up now, so he just said in as calm a tone as possible:
"I really have no interest in your affairs. Just do whatever you want. I will leave in a little while."
Of course Roger's sincere words meant that the other party was unwilling to give in. The big man had the most explosive temper, and Roger had long been displeased with him. After hearing his words, he immediately shouted: "Go to hell!"
Just as he said the last word, the big man pointed the double-shot shotgun at Roger and pulled the trigger without thinking.
