Chapter 124 Recovering the Secret Treasure
The soldiers were thrown far away and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, there was calf-deep snow everywhere, which served as a buffer. The soldiers then activated various defensive skills and used the red light of the skills to resist the force of the fall, otherwise this fall would have caused a large number of casualties.

The Frost Giant finally seized the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and turned over and sat up.

It endured the severe pain, dug out the burning lithium battery from the wound with its fingers, and threw it away, but its fingers were also burned.

From its perspective, strange things were burning everywhere around it, and even now, there was an eternal fire burning under its butt.

And if you step on it, you might step on that strange thing again and burn your feet.

The soles of its feet had been burned with many small holes by the explosion, and the ice armor on its body had also cracked, leaving wounds everywhere. God knew what other strange tricks these humans were going to use on it.

Although the refrigerator giant is not very intelligent, his biological instinct makes him feel that if he continues to be stubborn, he will be the one to die.

"Damn it!" After gasping for a few breaths, it suddenly jumped up, turned its head, and ran in the direction it came from.

This creature is very stubborn. Once it chooses a direction to move forward, it will go straight ahead and it is difficult to change direction. Unless it encounters a terrible and tenacious resistance like the one in Xihuang Town, it will keep going down this path until it meets the sea.

The wolves and the townspeople of West Wasteland Town cheered at the same time: "It ran away! It ran away! Great!"

"It turned back, hahaha!"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Damn, this thing is really hard to deal with. We tried everything we could, but we could only injure it, not kill it."

The back of the Frost Giant was seen getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared in the snowstorm in the southeast. The people of Xihuang Town finally put down the heavy stone in their hearts.

Only then did everyone feel like looking back at their own town.

The southeastern wall of the town was trampled down by the giant, and a huge pit was trampled out of the open space where the catapult was placed. More than ten tons of batteries were still burning there, and it didn't look like they would stop burning in the short term.

The ground southeast of the town was also burning in large areas, and it was unknown how long the eternal fire would burn.

"Everything that just happened seemed like a dream."

Adrian turned to look at Zhang Jingyi, with admiration in his eyes: "It was he who brought us the 'Eternal Fire', so we were able to repel the Frost Giants."

The follower came over and said, "What on earth is this eternal fire? The frost giant stepped on it, poured ice water on it, and slapped it with his hands, but he still couldn't put it out."

Adrian: "It should be a product of the combination of magic and alchemy, a magical secret treasure. It's not scary to have such a secret treasure, but it's scary that he actually brought so many... They are piled all over the floor. I don't even know if such a large number of things can be considered secret treasures."

Yup!

If there is only one in the world, it is definitely a secret treasure.

But if it's all over the ground, can it still be considered a secret treasure?

Adrian and his followers were a little confused.

Just as I was in a daze, I heard Zhang Jingyi shouting, "Mr. Lord, we have to control the fire as soon as possible. Please order your subordinates to pick up those 'Eternal Fires' that have not yet been ignited, and don't let them be ignited."

Adrian suddenly realized, ah, yes, such a powerful secret treasure, if it hasn't burned yet, it should be quickly recovered and preserved. If it is burned now, wouldn't it be a pity? It's a huge waste. He quickly waved his hand and ordered: "Quick, quick, everyone, go and pick up the 'Eternal Fire' that hasn't burned yet, don't waste it."

A large group of soldiers rushed out, and some civilians from Xihuang Town also rushed out, desperately trying to rescue the batteries...

In their opinion, each of these batteries is a secret treasure!
They are all products of magic and alchemy and are extremely precious treasures.

Only Zhang Jingyi knew that this stuff only cost 2 yuan per pound, so there was no need to work so hard.

Zhang Jingyi shouted: "Hey, hey! Be careful, life safety is the most important, don't get hurt, those who are close to the fire, don't worry, hey... I'm talking about you, don't risk your life to pick up that piece..."

A heavily-armored soldier turned a deaf ear to Zhang Jingyi's voice, used his combat skill [Defense Enhancement], ran to a place very close to the fire, and rescued an old battery from a battery-powered vehicle. His hair and beard were burnt yellow, but he had a happy smile on his face: "I saved it! I saved it!"

His comrades gave him a thumbs up.

The women in the town also showed admiration for him: "He is so brave and great. He risked his life to rescue a treasure."

The heavily-armored soldier held the old battery in both hands and laughed.

Applause, flowers and countless praises.

Zhang Jingyi thought to himself: Damn it, I risked my life to pick up an old battery worth 100 yuan.

After a long time, the rescued batteries piled up into a large pile.

After releasing their fury to their heart's content, the ignited batteries finally calmed down slowly. Black smoke was billowing everywhere around Xihuang Town. Next to the collapsed town wall, a large group of people were moving stones, trying to temporarily repair the wall.

Adrian strode up to Zhang Jingyi and bowed deeply: "Mr. Zhang, I sincerely thank you for saving Xihuang Town and saving us from having to spend this winter in the wilderness."

Zhang Jingyi said, "I am not here to help you, but to help the common people in the town. Even if a great master like you loses the castle, you can still spend the winter safely under the care of your subordinates by setting up a tent in the countryside. The real difficulties are for the common people! Their ability to withstand the cold winter is too weak."

Adrian: "No matter who you are doing it for, you helped me anyway. What can I do for you?"

Zhang Jingyi: "I have consumed dozens of tons of 'Eternal Fire'. This is a big problem. I need something of the same quality to make up for their loss."

Adrian didn't quite understand what the term "equivalent property" meant, but he understood it with simple thinking, that is, "others want rewards." In order to save the town, a large amount of secret treasures were consumed, so he had to take out a sum of money to thank them. This request was reasonable.

Adrian: "I am willing to compensate you for your loss, but... these secret treasures are very precious. With my financial resources, I don't know if I can..."

Zhang Jingyi interrupted him and said, "Don't mention gold, silver, jewelry, etc. What I want is rare earth or rare stones."

Lithium batteries use rare earth as their main raw material, and this stuff is definitely impossible to mine with the technology of this era. Zhang Jingyi just casually mentioned rare earth and rare stones, and he didn't know if Adrian could get them. If he couldn't get them, there was nothing he could do. Just dig up some mineral-rich stones and mud and bring them back, and it should be able to balance it out.

Adrian slapped his forehead suddenly. "Strange soil and stones? I don't know if it counts as such. There is a strange mountain in the northwest of the town. There is a kind of very beautiful stone on the mountain."
