Chapter 121 Two Silver Coins! The Plan!

"A meaningless threat..."

Su Hao put away the heavy crossbow in his hand and kicked off the masked man's mask.

He was discovered to be an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who resembled a farmer.

The man died with his eyes wide open, his face deathly pale, his eyes still filled with resentment, bitterness, and deep fear.

Su Hao squatted down and began to grope the masked man's body.

As a Bronze-Skin Realm warrior of the Black Sparrow Sect, this guy should have some resources.

After some searching, Su Hao indeed found a bulging money bag on the other person's body.

Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the money bag.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed before my eyes!

"Jin...zi?"

Su Hao stared blankly into the money bag. Apart from some loose silver, it was filled with glittering gold nuggets the size of a thumb!

He was overjoyed!

You should know that gold is worth about ten times more than silver!

The bag in his hand contains at least a hundred taels of gold!

One hundred taels of gold, converted, is nearly 1000 taels of silver!

"This is much more profitable than hunting exotic beasts..."

Su Hao took a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions.

But it was just a feeling of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, emotions, and reflections), without really thinking much about it.

After all, this kind of deal is no joke. To be honest, if this person hadn't been careless today, and hadn't been well-prepared, it's really hard to say who would have killed whom.

However, what surprised him most was that this guy actually dared to take the antidote he gave him…

It should be noted that the poison attached to the arrows was just a substance called red blood ant poison. This substance has a certain paralyzing and burning effect, but it is not very effective against a copper-skin realm martial artist.

What was truly terrifying was the bottle of powder he had given to the masked man earlier; the real name of that powder was Boiling Blood Powder!

It is a terrifying poison specifically designed to suppress qi and blood.

It cost nearly ten taels of silver to buy such a small bottle back then.

Moreover, it took searching through many markets and black markets before finally finding something.

It is said that if the amount of this Boiling Blood Powder is large enough, even a Bone Forging Realm martial artist will be in danger of death if poisoned and not treated immediately.

Not to mention that a single bottle could poison at least ten martial artists who are merely at the Bronze Skin Realm!

The man in black robes just now consumed a lethal dose for 10 people by himself. Even if he didn't make a move, the other party would soon be going to see the Great-Grandmother.

After searching again, they found that apart from a bag of money, they had no other gains.

Su Hao immediately picked up the masked man's corpse and threw it directly into the still-burning fire.

After doing all this, Su Hao turned and left, quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Quickening his pace to leave Niutougou, Su Hao soon caught up with Uncle Chen's family.

When they saw Su Hao return, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he thanked Su Hao repeatedly.

Su Hao didn't say much about it, but told them not to stay in Shilipo any longer, but to go back to the city and stay for a while.

Now, Chen Bo's entire family is under surveillance, even though he has dealt with the Flying Spear Village members and the Black Sparrow Sect experts who suddenly appeared.

But nobody knows whether this clue actually exists.

Will the Black Sparrow Gang come looking for us again? Are there any other spies lurking around?

Nobody can be sure!

The best course of action would be to retreat to Yanshan City and hide there for a while.

The Chen family dared not disobey Su Hao's suggestion.

They all thanked Su Hao repeatedly and nodded.

Su Hao followed Uncle Chen and his family back to Shili Slope. Uncle Chen then bid farewell to Su Hao, planning to move to Yanshan City that very day.

Uncle Chen actually has his own house in Yanshan City, but he left it to his daughter-in-law and son, and he doesn't like living in the city.

Because he was a hunter by profession and made a living by hunting, he preferred to live near Shilipo.

Because it's more convenient to hunt here.

However, given the current situation, he has no choice but to leave.

He didn't want to go through what happened today a second time.

They were lucky this time, saved by Su Hao. What about next time?

Su Hao couldn't stay at Shili Slope all the time, nor could he keep track of their movements.

Watching Uncle Chen and his group leave, Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he's saved the person; the rest is up to us to see how things develop.

Back at his residence, Su Hao told He Dazhong what was to come and advised him to return to the city first.

Hearing this, He Dazhong didn't say much, after learning that Uncle Chen's family had escaped safely.

He Dazhong bowed and thanked them, and then decided to return to the city with Uncle Chen's family today.

Su Hao nodded in agreement, casually tossed out a money pouch, and told the other party to be careful after returning to the city.

Seeing this, He Dazhong did not refuse. He bowed and thanked him, accepting the gift and promising to repay the favor in the future.

After saying that, He Dazhong left the courtyard.

At this moment, only Su Hao remained in the courtyard.

"Looks like we can't stay here any longer..."

Su Hao glanced at the courtyard covered in snow and thought to himself.

Now that we've killed the Black Sparrow Clan members, at least until we've investigated whether any other members of the Black Sparrow Clan know their identities.

Be careful in everything you do.

"However, once we leave Shili Slope, the supply of exotic beast meat will become a considerable burden... After all, there are still three martial arts techniques that require money to cultivate..."

Su Hao was now in a dilemma again.

He currently has a thousand taels of silver on him.

But to be honest, if you really calculate the accounts, this thousand taels of silver really wouldn't last more than a few months.

Moreover, this is only his conservative estimate, based on the lowest possible standard for cultivating and improving various martial arts.

Nowadays, Yue Shan Quan (a martial art) requires the daily consumption of Bazhen Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) to condense blood vortex, while Chi Xue Zhang (another martial art) requires prescriptions to enhance qi and blood. Leg techniques also require the purchase of auxiliary medicinal materials for practice.

It's fair to say that everything requires money.

This doesn't even include the amount of exotic beast meat needed; if you calculate it all, Su Hao himself feels a headache coming on.

"Oh, right, there's another way!"

Su Hao's eyes lit up!

Now that his identity has been exposed, why doesn't he change to another identity and continue to mingle in Shilipo?

Moreover, in this world, the art of disguise is also very famous.

Su Hao himself doesn't need any advanced disguise skills; he just needs to ensure that others can't recognize him at a glance!

However, Su Hao had seen books on disguise techniques before in the underground markets of Hongqiao Town that specialized in gray-market activities.

I don't know if it's true or not.

Once we get to the city, we can take a good look around.

It has been ten days since he left Yanshan City, and by the end of the month, it's almost here.

He should also go back to the city to see how things are progressing with the rice gang.

After all, he had previously agreed with the Mi Gang to go out and help forge weapons, and the reward was three times the amount. This was also an opportunity for him to make money!
