Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 7: Caged Lantern Anomaly

Early the next day, Qin Feng walked out of the dormitory.

As soon as Qin Feng walked out, he saw a crowd of people gathered outside a nearby wooden house.

All ten servants in the room had turned into dried corpses.

"How did they become dried corpses?"

"This doesn't seem like the work of the Drum Maker Anomaly!"

"Could there be a new Anomaly?"

"Yesterday, Xiao Wang was still gathering herbs with me. I didn't expect him to..."

...

The crowd of servants pointed and whispered at the dried corpses in the wooden house.

"What kind of Anomaly is this?"

Qin Feng's face was filled with confusion.

He had seen the Drum Maker Anomaly kill people a few times before.

But after the Drum Maker Anomaly killed, it wouldn't drink blood.

And it definitely wouldn't turn everyone into dried corpses.

"Why are you all standing here?"

"Why aren't you going to gather herbs?"

"If you can't complete the task, don't expect to receive your salary this month!"

Liu Cheng arrived with many guards.

When the servants saw Liu Cheng's arrival, they hurriedly ran towards the mountain.

"Throw these dried corpses far away!"

Liu Cheng waved his hand, seemingly accustomed to these dried corpses.

"Yes, sir!"

The guards entered the room one after another and began to clean up the dried corpses.

After the guards left, Liu Cheng walked into the room and took out a black ball from under the bed.

Liu Cheng looked around and then entered a nearby servant's room.

A few minutes later, Liu Cheng walked out of the room with a smile.

After entering Soft Wind Mountain,

Qin Feng didn't take the same route as yesterday.

After all, that place was filled with the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Today, he planned to go to another place to practice and then gather herbs.

Qin Feng walked and stopped along the way, quickly arriving at an open space.

He planned to practice for a while first and then gather herbs in the afternoon.

[Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique: Basic Accomplishment: 30/500 - Use form as fist, use intention as spirit, use qi to exert force, attack fiercely]

"If I practice diligently for a day, I can gain thirty experience points!"

"But I have to do many chores every day, so I don't have much time to practice!"

"At most, I can only gain ten experience points per day!"

"If I want to reach Great Accomplishment in the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique, it will take at least a month and a half!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he finally understood why Huang Quan had been practicing for so many years and still relied on his relationship with Huang Zongguan to become a guard.

Even with the phrase "Heaven Rewards the Diligent," Qin Feng still needed to study and practice diligently for so long.

Someone like Huang Quan, who fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, would never have any breakthroughs.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and began to practice the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique on the open space.

Time slowly passed during Qin Feng's practice.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Qin Feng had increased his proficiency in the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique by twelve points.

"Phew, I'll stop practicing here today!"

"In the afternoon and tomorrow, I'll search for herbs!"

"Otherwise, Liu Cheng will deduct my salary for this month!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat on a rock.

Qin Feng felt that Liu Cheng's gaze towards him was abnormal.

And when he had just seen him, Liu Cheng had even stared at him for a long time.

"Wu wu wu!"

At this moment, strange sounds came from afar.

Qin Feng quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a red lantern slowly floating towards him.

"The Caged Lantern Anomaly?"

"How is it possible to encounter the Caged Lantern Anomaly two days in a row?"

Qin Feng's face slightly changed.

This kind of Caged Lantern Anomaly was extremely rare.

Ordinary people in the wilderness would only have a chance to encounter the Caged Lantern Anomaly if they had extremely bad luck.

Encountering it once could be attributed to bad luck.

But encountering the Caged Lantern Anomaly twice in a row is not due to luck.

Watching the Caged Lantern Anomaly float over.

Qin Feng quickly opened the pot containing pig's blood.

He poured half of the pig's blood onto the ground.

He slowly retreated towards the distance.

"Wuwuwuwu!"

The Caged Lantern Anomaly suddenly became excited and quickly flew towards the pig's blood.

Soft Wind Mountain.

By a small stream.

Qin Feng looked at Yao Lou with an unpleasant expression.

Underneath Yao Lou, there was a dried-up puddle of blood.

"Pig's blood!"

"No wonder I encountered the Caged Lantern Anomaly twice in a row!"

"Who is plotting against me?"

Qin Feng sat on a stone and started pondering.

If he didn't figure out this problem, he would probably continue to be targeted by someone!

"Since becoming a servant of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, I have always been very low-key and have no enemies at all!"

"Could it be Huang Quan's doing?"

Qin Feng quickly focused his attention on Huang Quan.

But soon he ruled out Huang Quan.

After all, Huang Quan was the relative of the head steward Huang.

And he kindly reminded Qin Feng to bring a pot of pig's blood.

If it weren't for Huang Quan's reminder, Qin Feng would probably have been harmed by the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Qin Feng pondered a few more people and quickly ruled them out as well.

"Forget it, let's get rid of this pig's blood first!"

"Then slowly find out who is plotting against me!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he carried Yao Lou and walked towards the stream.

This dried-up pig's blood had a great attraction to the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

If Qin Feng didn't clean up the pig's blood quickly, it would definitely attract the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Just as Qin Feng stood up, he heard a rustling sound.

Then two servants from Xiancheng Villa appeared here.

These two servants were Zhang Hu, who invited Qin Feng to sleep in the common dormitory, and his follower.

"Qin Feng, what a coincidence?"

Zhang Hu saw Qin Feng and was momentarily stunned, then his face was filled with joy, and he quickly walked towards Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, let me see how many medicinal herbs you have collected?"

Although Zhang Hu's face was full of smiles, it was full of insincerity.

"Not many!"

Qin Feng raised the medicine hoe in his hand.

"Hahaha!"

"Qin Feng, hand over the medicinal herbs in your Yao Lou, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhang Hu's face was full of teasing.

Obviously, he was ready to snatch the medicinal herbs from Qin Feng.

Upon hearing Zhang Hu's words, his follower immediately walked towards the side, trying to block Qin Feng's escape route.

Qin Feng looked at Zhang Hu, who was getting closer, with a pensive expression on his face.

Although Qin Feng had practiced the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique.

His strength, speed, and physique had all improved.

But if he wanted to take down Zhang Hu and his follower, he would probably get injured.

Getting injured on Soft Wind Mountain, which had Anomalies, would definitely be seeking death.

"Escape from here first!"

Qin Feng quickly made a decision, directly took the medicine hoe, and ran towards the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Zhang Hu quickly chased after him.

His follower followed closely behind Zhang Hu.

However, Qin Feng, who had practiced the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique, was much faster than them.

Coupled with his familiarity with the terrain.

In just a few minutes, he disappeared from Zhang Hu and his follower's sight.

"Huhu..."

"Why is this kid so fast!"

Zhang Hu's face turned very ugly.

Originally, he thought he had encountered a fat sheep.

He could easily rob the medicinal herbs from the fat sheep.

But who knew that Qin Feng would run like a rabbit, very fast, and quickly left Zhang Hu and his follower behind.
