The first thing the three of them looked at was the weapon rack.
There were more than a dozen weapons on it. There were knives, swords, spears, axes, and a few rarer weapons.
Because they had already agreed to split the loot between the three of them, the three of them did not fight over it. Gray walked over, took a sword, and unsheathed it, revealing a fiery-red blade.
A trace of blood energy was poured into the sword, and an orange flame appeared on the blade.
This was obviously a magic weapon, and because it was well preserved, it was not damaged.
The three of them checked one after another. There were a total of 13 weapons on the weapon rack, and they were all well-preserved magic weapons.
However, they were all ordinary magic weapons that had only reached the level of Dark Iron. There were no weapons of higher levels.
The three of them then opened the wooden boxes one after another.
The first wooden box was also the largest one, and it was filled with gold coins.
The golden light was very dazzling, but the value was not too high.
At most, there were tens of thousands of gold coins, and they were from the era of the Empire, so their value was discounted.
The second box contained a box of jewelry.
There was no such thing as "antiques" in this world. Nobles preferred the practicality and value of an item, and not the value given by history.
Therefore, the value of these jewelry could only be estimated according to the current market price of jewelry in the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Gray estimated that if this box of jewelry was sold, it could be sold for one or two hundred thousand.
The third box was filled with many magic potions. Its value should have been extremely high, but unfortunately, after a thousand years, these magic potions had dried up, and its value was zero.
The fourth box was rather large, and it was filled with magic coins. There were about fifty thousand of them.
After opening all the boxes, Gray and the other two looked at the only thing left in the room.
There were four metal jars.
They were tall, round, and looked very similar to the jars containing the blood of the blood fiends that Gray had found in the ruins of the Jade Sea Forest.
Looking at these four jars, the three of them were a little hesitant. After a thousand years, the blood in these jars had probably rotted.
If they opened it, they probably wouldn't find anything other than a foul stench.
For a moment, the three of them hesitated, not knowing if they should open them or not.
"The words on the surface of this metal bottle can still be seen clearly!"
After sizing up the four metal bottles, Gray's gaze finally landed on the smallest one.
It was only slightly bigger than a bowl. Although the label on its surface was quite blurry, it could still be seen clearly.
"Ice Soul Beast blood."
Following the words, Gray read them aloud and turned to look at Sophia.
"What rank is this blood fiend?"
He had to admit that, as someone who came from a great noble family, the depth of his knowledge was enough to throw Gray off by several notches.
"This is a desolate-level special blood beast. It has the ability to freeze ice. Among the desolate-level blood beasts, it can be ranked at the top."
Sophia explained.
"The blood of a desolate-level special blood beast, and an ice-type one at that. What a pity …"
Gray shook his head regretfully.
This kind of blood was very suitable for him. If he swallowed it, the power of the "Wild Wind Blade" would definitely increase dramatically.
Unfortunately, after a thousand years, the blood in the jar had probably rotted.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Sophia walk up to him. She pressed one hand on the metal bottle and the other on the lid of the metal bottle.
Then, blue lines flashed across the surface of the metal bottle. Sophia must have infused the blood energy into it.
"This bottle is a magic weapon, no, should I call it a magic item?"
Gray was surprised. This was the first time he had seen a magic item of this shape.
Crack!
Right at this moment, Sophia actually started to twist the bottle cap. With a kacha sound, the bottle cap was loosened by her, and she opened it.
Thinking of the stench he smelled last time, Gray subconsciously stepped back.
However, after a while, until Sophia closed the lid again, there was still no stench. There was only a faint smell of blood.
"It doesn't stink. The blood hasn't rotted?"
Grimm doubted.
"This bottle is a magic item specially used to preserve the blood of blood beasts, so the blood in this bottle hasn't rotted."
Sophia explained.
That's great!
Gray's eyes suddenly lit up. The blood of a desolate-level special blood beast that had not rotted and was of the ice element was very useful to him.
If he consumed it and merged it with his Wild Wind Blade, the blade would definitely have a terrifying icy energy. This effect could even last until he reached the desolate-level. After all, this was the blood of a desolate-level blood beast.
The three of them checked the other three jars. After discovering that they were just ordinary metal jars, they did not open them again. It was the sour smell that had left a deep impression on them.
After going through all the items in the room, because Gray's Rune Space Bag was the largest, Gray packed everything together and the three of them left the room.
After a few hours, the sky was getting dark. The three of them stopped their search.
They had basically finished searching the entire ruins. After obtaining a considerable amount of loot from the room, they had obtained some more items. However, the value of those items could not be compared to the items in the room.
The scattered magic weapons and the well-preserved Barbarian Level Blood Spell Book … The total value of these items was only about 100,000 gold coins.
After setting up a tent in an open space in the ruins and placing everything on the ground, Gray and the other two began to divide the loot.
"A total of 21 magic weapons, all of which are of the Dark Iron level. The price of each weapon is 5,000 gold coins, so the total is 105,000 gold coins."
"A Blood Spell Book that can be cultivated to the Barbarian Level by the Flaming Lion Echelon is 100,000 gold coins."
…
"About 50,000 magic coins, which is 5,000,000 gold coins."
"A portion of Ice Soul Beast blood is about 5,000 gold coins, so there are about 10 portions, which is 500,000 gold coins."
"All the items add up to about 6,000,000 gold coins. If we divide it evenly, each person will have 2,000,000 gold coins. You still owe me 1,000,000 gold coins."
Sophia looked at Gray and said.
"I'll owe it to you first. Also, I need a portion of Ice Soul Beast blood."
Gray smiled bitterly.
Compared to before, the loot this time was not bad. In fact, it was a lot more. However, it was still far from the 3,000,000 gold coins he owed.
Although he still had more than 700,000 gold coins, he didn't bring them with him. Even if he did, he would still owe her.
"No problem. Then you owe me 1,050,000 gold coins, right?"
The corners of Sophia's mouth rose slightly as she said with a smile.
"That's right."
Gray nodded. Somehow, he felt a little scared. He owed her so much. Based on her character, he was afraid that he would have a hard time in the future.
Teresa's gaze towards Gray was filled with sympathy. Owing money to his young mistress, this fellow was destined to be plagued with misfortune in the future.
The next day, the three of them started to go back the way they came. However, not long after they left the ruins.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, a horrible noise came from the depths of the forest.
Trees collapsed in large swathes, and thousands of animals fled in a frenzy.
They were running for their lives in panic.
The three of them even saw a tiger knocked into a tree and fainted. The other animals stepped on its body. In just a moment, the tiger was trampled into a bloody mess and turned into a pile of mud.
All the animals were running wildly as if there was a horrible being chasing after them.
Among these animals, there were ordinary wild beasts and blood fiends.
Some of the blood fiends were even more than five meters long. If they were not mistaken, they should be blood fiends at the mad level.
"Beast tide!"
"Oh no, it's a beast tide!"
Gray and the other two's expressions changed drastically.
A beast tide that was hard to come by actually appeared, and it happened while they were in the forest.
