The reason why Sun Cheng didn't leave anyone alive for interrogation when he ambushed and exterminated that group of Mountain Bandits last night.
It was because during the battle, some Mountain Bandits who appeared fierce but were actually weak had blown up their homes to scare him.
This was how he knew that this group of Mountain Bandits came from the nearby Lost Cow Valley.
Sun Cheng wasn't slow and soon arrived outside Lost Cow Valley.
The Lost Cow Valley was a nearby valley. It was said that there was often white fog in the valley. Some villagers often lost their cows when they were herding them nearby.
As time passed, this name came into being.
Sun Cheng had actually had designs on this Lost Ox Valley before.
A few years ago, when he came here to secretly dig up mountain rocks and vegetation to expand his inner world.
He found that the Lost Cow Valley was surrounded by several mountains, and it was a secluded place.
At that time, Sun Cheng had considered that if he was unable to obtain the Tao technique in the future, he would hide in the valley with his family when he was old.
Half a century later, when the glorious new Great Xia Kingdom was established, if he was still alive at that time, he would bring his family out to live.
However, he did not expect that in just a few years, that valley would actually be occupied by a group of Mountain Bandits.
Looking at the small hill that was only a few hundred meters tall, Sun Cheng did not hesitate and began to climb up.
Since the Mountain Bandits had built a stronghold here, they must have opened up a more convenient way up and down.
However, Sun Cheng was worried that there would be hidden sentries and traps along the way. With his current cultivation, the firearms of the foreigners could still hurt him.
Therefore, he was very cautious.
Sun Cheng's hands and feet were nimble, and it didn't take long for him to climb up the mountain that was a few hundred meters high.
He chose a steep slope to climb, so he didn't encounter any hidden scouts of the Mountain Bandits along the way.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, Sun Cheng chose a higher terrain and looked into the valley.
Even though the sun had yet to rise safely, with the help of the little flames in the valley, he quickly found the location of the village.
Although it was called a mountain stronghold, it was actually just some wooden houses that were randomly built in the valley.
Sun Cheng counted carefully. There were about fifty to sixty wooden houses of different sizes in this stronghold of the Mountain Bandits, and they had at least a hundred people.
Just as he was hesitating whether he should set fire to this sinful village and destroy it.
Suddenly, Sun Cheng frowned when he saw the white fog rising from the valley again.
"What heavy Yin Qi!"
The moisture and vapor were different from Yin Qi. Although they made people uncomfortable, they didn't have the uncomfortable feeling of making people feel cold all over.
This was a feeling that Sun Cheng, who had visited this place a few years ago, had never experienced before.
He didn't hesitate and quietly crept into the valley along the hill.
Not long after, Sun Cheng felt his feet slip. He hurriedly grabbed onto a tree beside him to prevent himself from falling.
"Eh…"
He snorted and looked down at his feet. He saw that he had stepped on a round stone and almost slipped down.
He lowered his head and picked up the stone. After taking a closer look, Sun Cheng's eyes narrowed.
" It's not a stone. Is this Quartz?"
Sensing the fog in the valley getting heavier and heavier, Sun Cheng suddenly became alert.
He quickened his pace and soon reached the bottom of the valley.
After a few years of revisiting, the Lost Cow Valley had changed greatly from what Sun Cheng remembered.
The original Lost Cow Valley wasn't full of plants, but it was full of shrubs and vines.
But now, other than some vegetation near the hillside, there was not even a single weed in the valley.
Sun Cheng had a keen sense of smell and could vaguely smell a strange smell.
He sniffed carefully and soon lowered his head to look at the ground.
"Hei Tu?"
Sun Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil. When he got closer, his expression became even more solemn.
Dust and lime. No wonder he felt a strange smell just now.
When he thought of the Quartz he had accidentally stepped on the hillside, Sun Cheng's expression suddenly changed. He immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the village in the middle of the valley.
He didn't encounter any hidden sentries along the way, so he arrived at the place easily.
Just as he approached the outskirts of the village, Sun Cheng's nose twitched.
He smelled a faint scent of blood, but it was not obvious.
The entire valley was deathly silent. Not to mention the sound of humans, there was not even the sound of birds or insects.
The bad premonition Sun Cheng had just had was soon confirmed.
He quickly rushed into the village. Along the way, all the wooden houses were dead silent.
He opened a few rooms to check. There were clearly traces of people living here, but now, he could not even see a shadow of a person.
The closer they got to the center of the village, the stronger the smell of Yin Qi and blood became.
Not long after, when Sun Cheng arrived at an empty space in the middle, his face was already as dark as black iron.
" What a strong smell of blood. The Mountain Bandits in this village must have been reared in captivity. They were all prepared to kill and bleed one day, accumulating corpses and gathering Yin…"
"What a ruthless method, what a ruthless heart…A man-made corpse-raising ground…They are raising zombies!”
In front of Sun Cheng was an inconspicuous little mound.
If his guess was right, there must be a coffin buried under this mound. It was very likely that it was lowered head down and feet up, using the reverse Feng Shui method.
Sun Cheng didn't know much about Feng Shui, but a few years ago, by chance, he used sweet potato flour to summon more than ten ancient books from a poor scholar's house who didn't have the money to buy food.
One of them was called the Burial Book Earth Vein Scripture. Although it was a remnant of a handwritten copy from the Ming Dynasty, after reading it, he had some understanding of the taboos of choosing a netherworld and burying his ancestors.
A French burial was a vertical burial. It usually had extremely strict requirements and was mostly used for Feng Shui. It was said that a French burial with Feng Shui treasures to bury the ancestors would have the effect of blessing and changing the fate of the future generations.
However, if it was slightly modified and added with the man-made corpse breeding ground in Lost Cow Valley.
Perhaps in a few years, he would be able to raise a bronze-armored corpse with copper skin and iron bones.
Sun Cheng had already made up his mind.
