Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Damn, what's with those expressions on your faces, you two? You don't believe me?"

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow as he put away the queen ant's corpse, then looked at the two suspicious men with a cold smile, especially Fatty Wang.

"Do you know black ants? I've heard they can fuel a man's engine, so imagine how much better the queen ant's eggs would be?"

"Holy crap, really? Bo-ye, you have to save some for me!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang blurted out the answer hastily, but then, fearing they would laugh at him, he quickly explained.

"Don't misunderstand, my engine is great, with plenty of horsepower."

My main reason for wanting to try more delicious food was because I thought the ant protein looked so white and tender. It's that simple.

Ji Haobo and Lao Hu exchanged a glance, then nodded at Fatty Wang with a strange smile.

"Oh...no need to explain. Explaining is just covering up, and we all understand this kind of unspeakable difficulty."

After saying that, they ignored Fatty Wang, who still wanted to argue, and turned around to get on their camels.

As the group ventured deeper into the desert, it became increasingly desolate. As far as the eye could see, there were only mounds of yellow sand, with virtually no shrubs or vegetation whatsoever.

"Commander, this is the last place we can rest. Beyond that lies the Black Desert, a place no one dares to tread. I've never been there before."

After witnessing Ji Haobo's miraculous skills last night, An Liman no longer dared to call him "friend," and even his original accent, which was full of lamb skewers, disappeared.

Actually, this old guy was originally Han Chinese, but he started talking about lamb skewers just to get closer to the locals.

"Okay! We'll rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. Don't worry about the Black Desert; I can call a plane to pick us up anytime."

To allay the old man's worries, Ji Haobo reassured him, lest he cause any trouble.

As the group approached the ruins, which consisted of only a few broken walls, Ji Haobo suddenly frowned. He noticed signs that someone had lingered there.

"Anliman, how many foreigners did you bring last time? Did you find anything unusual?"

While he was questioning them, Lao Hu and his men also noticed the traces. They immediately drew their guns and scattered to check the surrounding area.

Upon seeing this, Anriman's expression changed, and he hurriedly said in a panic:

"There were thirteen of them in total. Five of them were like us, but they mostly spoke foreign languages. I don't know if the others were from Xia Kingdom."

Moreover, they all seem to have submachine guns, and I'm afraid that once they get to the destination, they'll kill everyone to cover their tracks.

So on the fourth day after entering the desert, they took advantage of a sandstorm at night and escaped back.

Ji Haobo frowned upon hearing his words. There were quite a few of them, and they were all armed. These were no ordinary tomb raiders.

Only a handful of entities with such strength would dare to take the risk of operating in the Xia Kingdom.

It's definitely not Qiu Dehao, nor is it one of the Nine Gates. Besides the Wang family, it could only be the Zhang family overseas.

Of course, the Holy Trinity is also a possibility, but it's unlikely. The same goes for the Zhang family overseas, so it's most likely the Wang family.

"Brother Bo, there's no one around. Judging from the remaining traces, they've probably been gone for about two days."

At this point, Lao Hu and the others went around and summarized their findings, arriving at that conclusion.

"Yes! Even though they've left, everyone should be careful; they might come back."

Ji Haobo nodded and then repeated the information An Liman had just given them.

"Based on my guess, these people are most likely from the Wang family. If they discover they've killed the wrong person, they'll shoot and kill the innocent without hesitation."

Those who come here to rob tombs are generally not good people, so there's no need to care too much.

Old Hu and the others nodded without objection, but An Liman was terrified.

The group then entered the ruins and set up camp under a broken wall not far from a well.

It was getting late, and the sun was beginning to set. Ji Haobo took out some firewood he had prepared and made a simple campfire.

The temperature drops particularly quickly at night in the depths of the desert. During the day, it is 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, but at midnight it drops to 6 or 7 degrees Celsius, and sometimes even as low as 1 degree Celsius.

After finishing his meal, Ji Haobo suddenly looked at Lao Hu, intending to test him.

"Old Hu, do you see if there's anything special about this place?"

Everyone was taken aback by his words and looked at him, completely bewildered. Old Hu was even more confused, not understanding what he was being asked.

But then it suddenly occurred to me that among so many people, Bo Ye only asked himself, not others, which made the matter obvious.

Thinking of this, Lao Hu quickly looked around, but it was pitch black. So he immediately looked up at the starry sky.

After a while, he suddenly raised his hand and gestured in front of his eyes, then quickly walked to his backpack and took out a compass from it.

When Yang Xueli saw Lao Hu take out the compass, she immediately understood what was going on and asked in shock:

"Haobo, do you mean there's a tomb here?"

"That's right, this ruin is called Xiye Ancient City, the capital of the Gumo Kingdom."

As Ji Haobo finished speaking, Lao Hu suddenly ran over in surprise.

"Master Bo, this is a place blessed by auspicious stars. Based on the sixteen-character feng shui secret technique, and using the triangular positioning of the stars such as Giant Gate, Left Assistant, and Right Assistant in the sky, the ancient tomb should be located in that ancient well."

"Hmm! Not bad! Old Hu, you've mastered the sixteen-character feng shui secret technique quite well. The entrance to that ancient tomb is indeed in the well."

Ji Haobo patted Lao Hu on the shoulder approvingly. He had read the book before and recognized most of the characters, but when they were put together, they were completely unfamiliar.

"Now that we know the entrance, what are we waiting for? Let's go down and take a look!"

Fatty Wang couldn't wait to run to the well, and peered inside with a flashlight, only to be startled and gasp in surprise.

"My God! There are ghosts inside!"

The guy plopped down on the ground, kicking his legs backward repeatedly.

The people nearby were startled by his shout. Ji Haobo walked over and looked into the well, then turned around and cursed in annoyance:

"Look at you, you coward. There are only three dead people in here."

Besides, it's not like you've never seen a ghost before. Do you really need to look like a coward about to wet your pants?"

"Dead...dead person?"

Wang Pangzi was stunned when he heard this, and then, feeling embarrassed and angry, he started cursing.

"Damn, that bastard threw dead people into the well, and they were all lying face up! It almost scared Fatty to death!"

Old Hu and the others came over, shone their flashlights inside, and sure enough!

The three foreigners were lying on their backs with their eyes wide open, which could indeed be startling at first glance.

Ji Haobo took out the Flying Dragon Claw and scooped up the three corpses. Old Hu went forward to check and found that there were no wounds.

"No need to look anymore. They must have encountered a ghost the night before last, and the ghost's energy entered their bodies, freezing their life force."

"Damn, they were just three unlucky bastards. They deserved to die, otherwise I would have killed them all again."

Wang Pangzi, still fuming, kicked the corpses twice.
