Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Sister...sister, these older brothers and sisters need lodging."

Before even entering the wooden house, the peacocks were already chirping joyfully inside.

"Did you hear that? You're a girl, you don't need to yell like that."

The woman inside came out, gently stroked the peacock's head, and greeted the group with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Caiyun, and I'm the innkeeper. Please come in with me first for a cup of tea and a rest. You can choose your room later."

Ji Haobo smiled and nodded, then introduced the others before following her into the hall.

Caiyun warmly poured tea for everyone, and Kongque brought over two plates of mountain fruit.

"Mr. Ji, is there anything I can do for you here?"

After Caiyun finished speaking, fearing that the others might misunderstand, she quickly explained:

"Our area is mountainous and remote, not suitable for tourism. Most people coming and going are merchants buying local produce and temporarily staying here, but you don't seem to be either."

"Hehe...you're right, we have business in the mountains. Don't ask too many questions, lest the people of Zhelong Village take their anger out on you."

Ji Haobo didn't hide anything. With his strength, he didn't need to conceal anything, and there was absolutely no need for him to make up excuses.

"Ah...this..."

Upon hearing this, Caiyun's expression changed. She looked at the group with a hesitant expression, and just as she opened her mouth to say something, Ji Haobo waved his hand to stop her.

"You don't need to worry about it. I know what's going on in the mountains. Just treat us as tourists."

If anyone from Zhelong Village asks, just tell them directly; there's no need to hide anything.

Hearing him say that, Caiyun didn't dare to offer any further advice, but Kongque's innocent face showed worry and fear, and she lowered her voice to say:

"Brother, I heard there are demons in the mountains. Please don't go in, okay?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

A group of people were amused by her nervous and cute appearance, and Fatty Wang took out a handful of chocolates from his pocket and handed them to her.

"Little peacock, don't worry. Your older brothers and sisters have gone to exterminate the demons in the mountains so that the villagers no longer have to live in fear."

On their way here, they heard many rumors, such as worms growing inside stone figures and demons eating people who went into the mountains.

Peacock looked at the chocolate that was handed to her, then turned to look at her sister Caiyun. Only after seeing her nod did she take it.

"Thank you, Fatty Brother."

"Hahaha... No need, you're welcome! This is the first time I've heard someone call me Fatty Brother."

After finishing their tea, the group, led by Peacock, selected several rooms upstairs.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the early hour, I decided to go out for a stroll.

However, as soon as Ji Haobo and his group left the courtyard, they saw several dark-skinned men pointing and whispering around the Hummer.

"Hey... what do you want?"

Seeing that they looked rather ill-intentioned, Fatty Wang immediately stepped forward and questioned them.

"Who are you people, and what brings you to Zhelong Mountain?"

A robust young man spoke broken English, but the others could still understand him with some difficulty.

"Who are you? What do you need to report to me? Tell me who you are!"

Fatty Wang raised an eyebrow and retorted without any politeness.

"My name is Zhagu, the young chieftain of Zhelong Village. We, Zhelong Village, do not welcome outsiders like you."

Zagu and several companions surrounded him, looking arrogant and domineering.

"Damn it, young chieftain? Do you think this is the old society? I'd rather call myself the Mountain Eagle!"

Fatty Wang sneered disdainfully and pushed the young man named Zagu away.

"Is this Zhelong Mountain your property? I can come and go as I please, do I need your welcome? That's ridiculous."

Zagu felt a tremendous force as he was shoved, and his body was forced to stagger back several steps before his companions caught him.

This made him feel humiliated, his dark face flushed red and then purple, and he angrily drew his hunting knife.

Before he could make any other move, a cold gun was pressed against his head, and the men instantly turned pale, their faces drained of color.

"Listen up, we don't care where we go. If you dare to sneak around and cause trouble, I'll blow your head off. Get lost!"

Wang Pangzi's fierce words made the group of men tense. After seeing him put away his gun, they quickly turned around and ran away in a sorry state.

At this moment, Old Hu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle and tease:

"Damn... Fatty, you really did look like the bandit leader Zuo Shandiao just now, pretty fierce."

"Indeed, but this eagle is a bit fat. It looks fierce, but it lacks a certain ruthlessness."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Afterwards, the group split up and wandered around. Ji Haobo led the three women to a secluded spot, released two Ming Snakes, sat on them, and soared into the sky.

"Wow! Cool..."

Laura hugged the snake and shouted excitedly. She was very brave and insisted on riding it alone.

Seeing this, Zhang Haixing was not to be outdone and rode up to the other end by himself, while Yang Xueli was held in Ji Haobo's arms.

"Haobo, let another one out..."

Before Yang Xueli could finish speaking, Ji Haobo interrupted her impatiently.

"What, isn't riding me enough?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Alright! Alright! Then my dear Haobo, drive..."

The altitude here is not low, and there are clouds and mists halfway up the mountain. The flying snakes can fly even higher, so there is no worry about startling the mountain people.

The group circled around the area a few times before returning to the inn as it grew late.

During this time, Ji Haobo made a special observation of Zhelong Mountain, but was surprised to find no Insect Valley, nor did he sense anything unusual.

This made him wonder. It seemed that the saying that the dragon's halo was invisible and difficult for outsiders to break unless the sky collapsed was not true.

In the evening, Caiyun cooked some home-style dishes from the mountains, including cured pork and fish, two plates of insects, and various kinds of famous mushrooms.

"Mr. Ji, conditions in the mountains are limited, please don't find them unpleasant."

"Hehe... Caiyun, you're joking. You can't get these things in the city."

Ji Haobo smiled and waved his hand. Seeing that the two were about to go eat elsewhere, he quickly called out:

"Peacock and Cloud, please come and sit down too. No need for so many formalities. I'll treat you to something delicious."

The two women quickly shook their heads in refusal, but Laura and Yang Xueli went over and pulled them over to sit down.

As the delicious aroma of stewed meat wafted out, Peacock couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and Laura quickly ladled out a bowl for her and handed it to her.

"Wow! Brother, this meat is so delicious!"

The peacock's rosy face and her crescent-shaped eyes were full of surprise and delight.

"Hehe...eat slowly, this meat is too nutritious, you can't eat too much at once."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the meal lasted for about an hour. The cured fish and meat were delicious, and the two plates of insects were crunchy, but not to everyone's taste.

The mushrooms were indeed incredibly delicious, and they were devoured by the group.

"Caiyun, go to the village tomorrow and ask if anyone is willing to sell mushrooms. If they have any cured fish or meat, we'll take that too. Money is no object."

Ji Haobo looked at the two people tidying up the table, took out two stacks of money and handed them over.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Ji."

Caiyun agreed without hesitation, but was shocked when she turned around and saw the money handed to her.

"Ah! This...this is way too much money. Those mushrooms aren't worth much at all..."
