Lord of the Sky City

"My lord, the Air Pirate Group's warehouse has been found."

As Rocky and Karina felt a tingling excitement over their victory, Liliya brought them good news: the warehouse of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had been located.

Upon hearing the news, Rocky and Karina exchanged glances, then they left the room together with Liliya without hesitation and headed straight for the warehouse!

Although according to the agreement, everything in the warehouse belonged to Rocky, Karina was also somewhat curious. She wondered what exactly the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's warehouse contained, just how much wealth was hidden there.

Under these circumstances, the three of them left the headquarters of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group and walked through the ruins of a vast city before they finally reached the location of the warehouse.

"Good heavens..."

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Rocky couldn't help but open his mouth wide in awe at the sight before him. There were three huge storehouses! Each storehouse was built on the foundation of the ruins, varying in sizes, with two of them being slightly smaller and one particularly large, covering at least a hundred meters in area!

The three storehouses in front of them were where the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group stored all their possessions!

When Rocky and the others arrived, the Guard Corps was on watch next to the storerooms, and the doors to the warehouses hadn't even been opened.

This was, of course, intentional; the locked doors were waiting for Rocky to be the one to open them.

"Someone, open the gates!"

Standing before the door of one of the smaller storehouses, Rocky glanced at the iron chains and padlocks on the door, then shouted.

"Coming!"

After his command, Monte immediately stepped forward from behind him. Without a word, he raised his broadaxe and brought it down on the padlocks.

With a crack, the basin-sized lock was shattered by the broadaxe, and immediately Monte and a few guards pulled away the chains and together, they slowly pulled open the doors...

Creak... creak creak... creak...!

Through the combined effort of Monte and the guards, the doors of the warehouse were gradually pried open.

Clatter clatter clatter!

And as the doors were progressively opened, a crisp, pleasant sound emanated, followed by the sight of gold coins tumbling out from the widening gap in the door!

The Traceless Battlefield was a place devoid of sunlight year-round, but even so, as gold coins poured from the opened door of the warehouse, everyone was still dazzled by the brilliant light. And when the door was fully open, they heard a whoosh as even more Gold Coins rolled out...

This seemingly not-so-large warehouse was filled entirely with Gold Coins!

The vast amount of Gold Coins were dazzling, so much so that the onlookers outside were stunned, the sound of numerous gulps occurred simultaneously, leaving everyone agog.

It was commonly known that the warehouse of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was bound to contain goodies, as they were a Bandit Group with a natural habit of hoarding. But no one had imagined that they would be so brazen as to accumulate an entire storehouse of Gold Coins!

This was no mere warehouse; it was clearly a treasure trove!

"Hahaha! Men, load everything onto the ship!"

While everyone was blinded by the glare from the warehouse's gold, Rocky was the first to come to his senses. He laughed heartily and then said to Monte, who was nearby, to immediately organize people to transport the Gold Coins to the ship!

"Yes!"

Monte quickly deployed several guards around him, instructing them to go and call for help immediately.

The warehouse filled with Gold Coins might not look very large, but it was still a storehouse, presumably holding hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins. Definitely not a job for one or two people, a large crew was necessary.

Fortunately, by this time, the Guard Corps had already completed the handover with Karina's troop, and the captive bandits were thus left in the care of Karina's troop, so the Guard Corps was well-staffed.

When Monte began leading the guards in their busy work, Rocky and Karina arrived at the second warehouse.

This warehouse was about the same size as the one filled with Gold Coins, and its big door was also locked with a huge padlock.

"Lin Feng! Open the door!"

"Got it!"

Now that Monte was directing the Guard Corps to transport the Gold Coins, Rocky directly called for Lin Feng. The summoned Lin Feng immediately strode to the warehouse and, raising his long sword, he slashed down viciously, shattering the padlock on the door. Then, just like before, he and a few guards worked together to pull open the door of the warehouse.

This time, as the door was pulled open, there was no glittering gold coins tumbling to the ground. Once the door was completely open and everyone looked inside, they discovered the warehouse was packed with wooden boxes, one after another.

"What is this…"

Looking at a warehouse full of wooden boxes, Rocky was a bit stunned and also somewhat disappointed. The previous warehouse full of Gold Coins had been so shocking that it had raised his expectations—so when he saw the boxes in this warehouse, he knew they were definitely goods.

However, after a brief disappointment, he perked up again. After all, goods were valuable too, easily convertible into glittering money with a simple transaction.

"Take them all out, let's see what they are!"

Having adjusted his attitude, Rocky nodded at Lin Feng. Afterward, Lin Feng led a few guards into the warehouse, and each brought out a box.

"Open it."

Watching Lin Feng and the guards place several wooden boxes before him, Rocky immediately ordered them to be opened, and then the guards used their weapons to knock open the boxes one by one.

"This is…"

"Sir! It's Demon Cores! Demon Cores!"

When the guards pried open the first wooden box, the guard was directly stunned, and immediately started shouting at Rocky!

"What?"

The guard was so excited that his voice was very loud, causing everyone nearby to hear it. Then, everyone started looking at him, including the other guards who were also prying open boxes.

What did this guy just shout?

Was it Demon Cores?

At this moment, both Rocky and Karina felt they hadn't heard clearly. After a brief pause, they looked at each other and then quickly walked over to the shouting guard. Bending down to look, they indeed found a whole box full of Demon Cores at his feet!

In the small wooden box, neatly arranged Demon Cores of various colors, some as big as fists, were stacked—dozens of them.

"Don't just stand there, pry open the other boxes too!"

Facing a box of Demon Cores, Rocky was only startled for an instant before he promptly told the other guards, who had also snapped out of their surprise by now and hurriedly began prying open their own boxes…

"It's demon bones, sir!"

"This box I have is Demon Skin!"

"Sir! This box is all demon spines!"

"Sir, this box is also Demon Cores!"
