Wu Yu Saves the World
Chapter 180: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 62
As night fell, Xie Yuchen and his men chose an open area to set up camp.
The sky is full of stars, a breeze is blowing, and the sound of insects chirping can be heard in the grass.
Xie Yuchen sat on a flat stone, looking down at his mobile phone with concentration, his fingers sliding quickly across the screen.
His men sat around, drinking, occasionally looking up at him with a playful smile on their faces.
"Boss, are you picking up girls or looking up information?" one of the subordinates joked.
Xie Yuchen raised his head and glared at him, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm just looking at tomorrow's route."
Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was in high spirits and someone suggested dancing around the campfire.
So, the flames danced in the night, people's figures swayed in the flames, laughter and cheers rose and fell, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang got up early and prepared to go to the Misty Village.
They found their approximate location based on the latitude on the map and then followed a path.
Soon, they came to a lotus pond.
The lotus flowers are in full bloom in the pond, and the lotus leaves are swaying in the wind, creating a beautiful scene.
However, Wu Xie frowned. He found that the magnetic field here seemed a little abnormal, and the compass needle kept shaking and could not point to a stable direction.
He looked up and saw mountains all around, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if hiding some secret.
At this time, Xie Yuchen and his men also came to a forest.
The woods are densely covered with trees, and the sunlight shines through the leaves onto the ground, forming patches of light.
The men were exploring in the woods, and suddenly someone discovered a hole in the ground.
They walked over carefully to check and found that the holes were arranged in a very regular pattern, as if they had been dug by humans.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.
Xie Yuchen and his men immediately looked around vigilantly, only to see a group of people in black appearing at the other end of the woods.
These people are none other than the Wang family, and they are also looking for the secret of the Misty Village.
The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze.
Suddenly, someone from the Wang family pointed to a place and shouted, "Look, there's a catapult over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an ancient catapult lying quietly in the depths of the woods.
The metal parts of the catapult are already rusted, but one can still see how powerful it once was.
Xie Yuchen walked forward to take a closer look at the catapult and discovered that the metal parts were actually in the style of the Republic of China.
His heart moved, and he thought of the legends and history of the Misty Village, and suddenly he understood a little bit.
He turned and spoke to his men.
"It seems that the villagers of Misty Village are not ordinary villagers. They are probably the descendants of grave keepers. This catapult is the weapon they use to guard the cemetery."
Upon hearing this, the subordinates nodded in agreement and became more curious about the Misty Village.
The Wang family looked at Xie Yuchen with serious expressions, as if they were thinking about how to capture Xie Yuchen and his group.
After disguising himself, Qi Yu mixed into Xie Yuchen's team and secretly observed the Wang family. He discovered that the real leader was hidden among the team members, and the apparent leader was just a mouthpiece.
Qi Yu came close to Xie Yuchen and gave him careful instructions.
"Big fish are in murky waters, so be careful."
Xie Yuchen looked around vigilantly, nodded with a smile, said nothing, and continued forward.
Xie Yuchen and his group went deeper and deeper, gradually deviating from the planned route.
They carefully avoided the weeds and thorns around them, fearing that they would fall into the seemingly bottomless pits if they were not careful.
However, despite their caution, more potholes continued to appear under their feet.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling thunder in the sky, making everyone's heart tighten.
They subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds covering the sky, and it seemed as if heavy rain would fall at any time.
However, surprisingly, no raindrops fell, but huge rocks fell from the sky.
Xie Yuchen was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed his companions and pulled them aside.
I saw the big rocks drawing arcs in the air, smashing hard on the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.
They watched this scene in horror, their hearts filled with confusion and doubt.
"This...what is going on? Is there really a god punishing us?" a companion asked in a trembling voice.
Xie Yuchen shook his head, frowning.
"No, this is definitely not a natural phenomenon. These rocks were bounced down from the mountain. Someone must have used some kind of mechanical device to throw them down."
"You mean... someone is attacking us?" another companion asked in surprise.
Xie Yuchen nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"That's right. Judging from the way they attacked, they were clearly well prepared. We might have been discovered by the gravekeeper, or we might have been ambushed by someone who came to explore the cave like them."
Everyone couldn't help but get excited when they heard this.
They didn't expect to encounter such an ambush as soon as they stepped in here. This shows that they came to the right place and there must be a tomb ahead.
Xie Yuchen took a deep breath and quickly observed the surrounding terrain.
He found a forest not far ahead that seemed like it could be used as a hiding place.
So he immediately waved for everyone to follow and led them towards the woods.
As they fled, they looked back from time to time, only to see that the rocks were still falling, as if they were going to kill them.
And, under the leadership of Xie Yuchen, they finally succeeded in hiding in the woods and temporarily escaped those deadly attacks.
"What should we do now?" asked a companion, gasping.
Xie Yuchen was silent for a while, then spoke.
"Everyone stay calm and alert. There must be a limited amount of rocks rolling down. Pick a few skilled ones to lure the enemy. Once the rocks are gone, we will move forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, three men with good skills automatically stood up from Xie Yuchen's team.
Without waiting for Xie Yuchen to speak, they had already gone to lure the enemy according to the plan.
On the other side, Fatty Wang was walking under the scorching sun, being attacked by mosquitoes all the way.
His body was covered with red mosquito bites, and he kept scratching because of the itchiness.
He looked at Wu Xie eagerly, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Ever since Wu Xie ate the Qilin Jie, he seemed to have gained some kind of magical protection, and even mosquitoes dared not approach him.
Wu Xie was speechless when he saw Fatty's miserable appearance.
While he was scratching the fat man's itch, he playfully picked a wild flower from the roadside, gently pinned it on the fat man's ear, and took a cool mosquito-repellent photo of him while he wasn't paying attention.
The fat man touched his ear and glared at Wu Xie, but didn't say anything. He just shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly he felt a coolness enveloping his whole body, the sweat on his forehead slowly dissipated, and even the itchiness on his body quickly subsided.
At this moment, he realized that Wu Xie must have used something on him, so he looked at Wu Xie with gratitude.
"Thank you, little naive. Fatty is no longer itchy!"
