Collecting the Truth About the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin

Chapter 84 Collecting the Truth About the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin

Shen Yi returned to the courtyard.

Huang Dahu's four hunting teams had been waiting here for a long time.

There was a pile of broken wood at their feet.

Looking at the charred black patterns on it, it was clearly the broken wood from the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin that Ye Shubai and the others had!

"Did you bring back all the wood for the coffin?"

Shen Yi's gaze swept over the pile of broken pieces of the spirit coffin, and he quickly asked.

"Boss, as you instructed, we picked up every single piece of sawdust, even the sawdust mixed with rainwater and mud!"

Huang Dahu immediately stood up and replied loudly.

Although he didn't know what the boss wanted them to do with the wood scraps, he knew there must be a reason for the boss's order, so he just had to do it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and ordered, "Move it to my room."

"Okay!"

The four of them immediately sprang into action.

After they quickly moved the wood chips into the house, Shen Yi told them to go out for dinner first.

He remained alone, standing in front of the pile of broken wood, reaching out his hand.

[Second-tier folk material "Lightning-Struck Locust Tree (Fine Material)" detected. Collect?]

Second-order materials!

Shen Yi was overjoyed.

I already felt that the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin was a rare treasure, and I was right.

The materials used in this coffin are actually second-tier!

After learning last night that the Lei Muling Coffin was damaged, he secretly began to have ideas about it.

Therefore, he specifically instructed Huang Dahu and the others to collect as many broken pieces of wood as possible from the damaged Thunderwood Spirit Coffin.

As expected, after Ye Shubai and the others woke up, they did not intend to take the damaged Thunderwood Spirit Coffin with them.

Perhaps they felt that the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin was damaged and could not serve any purpose, so they were too lazy to waste their energy taking it away.

After collecting the remains of the deceased guards, they hurried back home.

However, Shen Yi is able to decompose and collect special folk materials.

For him, this was a pile of precious materials that he could not possibly access at this stage!

The next moment, Shen Yi immediately collected all the carefully selected materials from this pile of lightning-struck black locust trees.

[Materials collected: 53 pieces of high-quality wood from a lightning-struck black locust tree!]

Due to damage to some materials, they cannot be collected and used.

After collecting them, he looked down at the pile of broken wood still on the ground.

It's clearly two-thirds less than before!

In reality, he only collected two-thirds of the finest materials from the lightning-struck black locust trees.

It's a real shame about the completely damaged part of the material.

Shen Yi was itching to make a move.

Want to unlock a creation blueprint and take a look?

But he quickly suppressed the urge.

"It's only a matter of time before my creation reaches level 9. If I can integrate these second-tier materials into it then, the benefits will be even greater."

Currently, there are only 53 units of high-quality timber from lightning-struck Chinese tallow trees, which is extremely rare.

After upgrading the Deep Black Arrow to the Spirit Fiend Arrow, Shen Yi gained a new understanding of upgrade items.

When upgrading, you need to fuse with compatible materials. The higher the grade of the fused materials, the more powerful the upgraded item will be.

When the Deep Black Arrow is upgraded, only the Yellow Weasel's Spirit Blood meets the fusion requirements.

Materials such as Fog Shadow Stone, Crimson Flame Heart, and Drowned Life Core cannot be fused with it.

After acquiring the carefully selected materials from the lightning-struck black locust tree, his collection gained a new item.

If it can be merged with his existing creations and upgraded, the new characteristics produced will be absolutely unimaginable!

Shen Yi glanced at his current collection list.

After last night's consumption, there are still 7875 units of Yin Soul Wood.

He began to make plans in his mind.

If you want to upgrade the three types of buildings—wooden houses, chicken coops, and vegetable gardens—you don't have enough Yin Soul Wood, so you can only choose one of them to upgrade first.

The wooden hut ensured their safety and could withstand the erosion even if second-tier monsters came.

Vegetable gardens and chicken coops are both ways to acquire long-term resources.

According to Zhao Manjun and the others, the spiritual veins in this area have been severed, so there should be no second-tier spirits appearing.

Therefore, their chances of encountering a second-tier monster are almost zero.

For over sixty years, Black Mountain Village has not encountered a second-tier spirit.

Even monsters like the swamp monster, which are mid-tier first-order creatures, rarely visit their village.

Could it be that during their development period, they will be so unlucky that they will encounter an attack from a second-tier monster?

Shen Yi smiled wryly.

but----

He still decided to find a way to upgrade the Zhenyin Wooden House first!

Not to mention that the probability of being attacked by a second-tier spirit is almost zero.

Even if the probability is zero, he still wants to ensure that he has a safe place to live!

As for equipment items like the Yin Wood Spear and Yin Wood Armor Set, they're good enough for now.

After all, with the hunting teams that have been formed, most of the tasks that need to be carried out when going out to work are assigned to them.

Step out of the wooden house.

Outside, Huang Dahu and his group sat together eating and talking.

Seeing Shen Yi approaching, they quickly stood up.

Huang Dahu immediately said, "Boss, come and eat! There's still plenty of monster meat here."

Liao Ning, Liu Feng, and Wang Rui were all somewhat reserved.

Unlike Huang Dahu, they couldn't act so freely in front of Shen Yi.

Especially Liao Ning.

When Shen Yi came over, she didn't say anything more, but silently observed him.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Yi casually sat down in the seat next to him.

This was the seat that Huang Dahu had specially reserved for him; everyone else sat on either side of him.

"They're talking about those people from town yesterday."

Huang Dahu said with some trepidation, "That Taoist nun was terrifying. When I was about to see her, I felt my whole body go numb and tremble. Waves of coldness washed over me, like being pricked by needles. I didn't dare to look at her even once."

"Yes, me too, but the village chief doesn't seem to have been affected much. He can still chat and laugh with that Taoist nun."

Wang Rui then spoke, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Shen Yi.

The Taoist nun they were referring to was clearly Ye Shubai's aunt, Zhao Manjun.

"Is it really that scary?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi recalled the scene he faced with Zhao Manjun yesterday, but he didn't feel anything.

A thought struck him.

Could it be that Zhao Manjun deliberately toned down her influence over him?

"It's true. It's not just us; everyone else feels the same way, even Master Mo."

"By the way, boss, did they say they'd add Heishan Village to the Jiangchuan Town roster after they got back?"

Huang Dahu brought over the bowl full of monster meat that Liao Ning had prepared, carefully placed it in front of Shen Yi, and asked about the matter.

"I did say that."

Shen Yi remembered that Ye Shubai had mentioned this matter last night.

Previously, Jiangchuan Town was unaware of the existence of their Heishan Village.

In fact, most small human settlements are scattered in various places, and this world is inhabited by all kinds of dangerous monsters, which are not connected to each other.

Jiangchuan Town is more than 200 li away from their Heishan Village, a very long distance.

Furthermore, Heishan Village is located in a remote area, further south.

If it weren't for their search for the Great Coffin Mountain, they wouldn't have discovered that there was a village hidden here.

After including Heishan Village in the register this time, Jiangchuan Town will send people to check on the village's situation every few years and provide some support and subsidies.

Shen Yi wasn't too keen on the idea of ​​becoming a village under the jurisdiction of Jiangchuan Town.

However, Huang Dahu and his group were clearly quite excited.

"My father often mentioned to me that one day he would go to Jiangchuan Town and be included in the list of villages under its jurisdiction, but he never got to do so."

When his father was mentioned, Huang Dahu's mood somber.

He was still just a ten-year-old child.

The loss of his parents was too cruel for him.

Mo Guanhai had been taking care of him during this time, which helped him to get back on his feet.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi casually asked, "What are the benefits of joining Jiangchuan Town?"

"I'm not too sure either—my dad said there are many benefits, like getting a discount or free admission if you enter the town."

Huang Dahu scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"We have to pay to enter the town?"

Shen Yi was taken aback.

This was something he hadn't expected.

"Big brother, we're back."

"Go eat as soon as you get back."

"Alright, by the way, Fifth Master Mo is here too."

At this time.

Shen Kun and his two companions walked in from outside, but Mo Guanhai was following behind them.

"Fifth Master Mo, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

Shen Yi stood up to greet him.

He looked at Guan Yue and said, "Make a pot of monster meat for Fifth Master."

"No need. I'm already this old, what would I do with monster meat?"

Mo Guanhai waved his hand, stopping Guan Yue's actions.

He was nearly ninety years old, and his vital energy was already depleted. Unless there was any hope of breaking through the shackles of vital energy, it would be meaningless for him to eat any more monster meat.

It would be better to keep the monster meat and give it to these younger generations.

With Shen Yi's help, he sat down and looked at his junior with great satisfaction.

Suddenly, he remarked with emotion, "Shen Yun and his wife have truly raised three wonderful children. If they knew how successful you are now, they would be so proud."

Hearing him talk about his parents.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan both stopped eating.

"Back then, it was Liu Wanhe and his group who wanted to obtain the essence inside the One-Eyed Ghost, so they arranged for Shen Yun and his wife to act as bait. However, Wanhe and his group ultimately failed, and your parents both perished in that dangerous mission."

"Not many people know about this. Only Liu Wanhe and his hunting team know about it. I also found out from some clues."

Mo Guanhai continued speaking to himself, then looked up at Shen Yi, "You killed Liu Wanhe, which can be considered revenge for your parents."

Shen Yi was silent for a moment. "Fifth Master Mo, since you already knew about this secret, why did you only tell us now?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it and might do something foolish, so I thought keeping it a secret was a good thing for the three of you siblings."

"Besides, Liu Wanhe was no longer in the village at that time."

"But what I didn't expect was that you were more capable and ruthless than I imagined!"

Mo Guanhai shook his head and smiled.

Liu Wanhe ultimately died at the hands of these three siblings.

It can be considered karma.

Not only Liu Wanhe, but everyone related to Liu Wanhe was slaughtered by the Shen siblings some time ago.

Mo Guanhai found it somewhat difficult to accept this matter.

After all, this village was a safe haven that he and several friends had found after going through countless hardships and tribulations, and they built it with their own hands.

However, he did not blame or feel dissatisfied with the actions of the Shen siblings.

After all, with more than 60 years of stable development in the village, everyone has started to live their own lives. Similarly, many discordant voices have emerged in the village.

Liu Wanhe and his group had radical ideas and wanted to quickly improve the strength of their men. They repeatedly used villagers as bait to lure monsters.

This approach has indeed been effective, and the village's overall strength has improved rapidly in recent years.

The members of the hunting team were all able to reach the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm within just a few years.

His ambition grew, and he even set his sights on Huang Xin, the village chief, wanting to seize control of the entire village.

Although Huang Xin and he grew up together and had a good relationship, Liu Wanhe eventually decided to kill Huang Xin.

Poor Huang Xin. Mo Guanhai reminded him many times, but he always firmly believed that Liu Wanhe was his best brother and would never harm him.

When Mo Guanhai saw that Huang Xin had not returned with Liu Wanhe and the others, he was extremely heartbroken.

However, what happened next was even more unexpected.

"Fifth Master, isn't it precisely because Liu Wanhe is no longer in the village that you're telling us?"

Shen Kun slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face grim and his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "I want Liu Wanhe to see his son Liu Yu's head laid out before him when he returns!"

"Let him know what it feels like to have his loved ones harmed by others!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they sensed Shen Kun's intense killing intent.

Especially Liao Ning and Liu Feng, since Liu Yu had a good relationship with them.

Mo Guanhai shook his head and sighed softly: "Liu Yu is innocent in this matter after all."

"Calm down, Ah Kun. Their whole family is dead. Let's eat."

Shen Yi spoke calmly at this moment.

Shen Kun then sat down again.

No matter when, his elder brother's words always held true.

The somber atmosphere dissipated slightly.

"However, Fifth Master Mo, you really should have told us. After all, we sent you so much meat during that time, don't you think?"

Shen Yi smiled and looked at Mo Guanhai.

"Although Liu Yu is innocent in this matter, he and Liu Wanhe are father and son. The benefits Liu Wanhe gained from his evil deeds have more or less fallen on him. Do they think that because they've incurred the blood debt of my parents, they can escape justice?"

"Killing Liu Wanhe's son would at least allow my two younger siblings to vent their anger a little."

"However, since they are all dead, this matter is naturally over. People die and debts are settled, so there is no need to pursue it any further."

He then waved his hand.

Mo Guanhai finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He looked at Shen Yi and his two siblings.

Not only Shen Yi and Shen Kun, but even the young Shen Yuan had a sharp and murderous look in her eyes at this moment.

Of all the people he encountered in his life, the three Shen siblings were truly the most bloodthirsty.
