Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"It's alright, picking mushrooms isn't easy for them, and it's dangerous too. Just offer a higher price later."

For Ji Haobo, the amount of money was irrelevant, but for the mountain people, it was a substantial fortune.

"Then...okay then!"

Caiyun didn't say anything more. She could tell that Ji Haobo and the others were not short of money at all.

"By the way, have you ever thought about leaving these mountains?"

Ji Haobo's words startled Caiyun and Kongque, and then their faces showed a mixture of longing and fear before they finally shook their heads.

"We don't know anything, and we're unfamiliar with this place. If we go out, we'll probably starve to death."

"It's alright. If you're willing to go out, you can come with us in a few days. We'll arrange something for you then. You can learn slowly if you don't know how."

"Also, you can find a school for the peacock to study. You can think about it in the next few days."

If they stay here, Ji Haobo can see their future at a glance.

"Ah...Mr. Hime...we'll consider it, thank you!"

Caiyun's heart was in turmoil. She knew that Ji Haobo had no ill intentions and would not harm them, but the outside world filled her with unknown fears.

While the two went to the back to wash the dishes, Yang Xueli looked at Ji Haobo with a puzzled expression and asked in a low voice.

"Haobo, why are you saying all that for no reason! What if they don't want to go out? They definitely won't be as calm as before."

The others had been curious for a while, and of course they couldn't possibly think that Ji Haobo had taken a fancy to Caiyun and was trying to lure them out.

"Nothing! The main problem is that they have no future here, and besides, isn't Old Jin already broke?"

Ji Haobo turned to look behind him before whispering to the others:

"I think Caiyun is quite nice. I'll arrange for Lao Jin to meet her sometime. If things work out, I can at least do justice to Old Jin."

"puff…"

Old Hu and Fatty Wang couldn't help but spit out their tea, and the other three women also choked.

They never expected that Ji Haobo was actually planning to act as a matchmaker.

"Brother Bo, look, we're both naked too. Next time you find someone suitable, could you arrange something for us?"

Ji Haobo glanced at the obsequious Fatty Wang and cursed with disdain:

"Get lost. I might consider Lao Hu, but forget about your club VIP membership. I'm not doing something that pushes people into a fire pit."

"I...I'm a pit of fire? I...Hey! Master Bo, don't go!"

Ji Haobo ignored him and led the group upstairs to sleep, since they had only entered the small world of the cave, so as not to disturb them with the war.

The next day, after breakfast and saying goodbye to Caiyun, the group headed into the mountains.

Yesterday afternoon, Ji Haobo spotted a river in the sky, so he took the lead and set off to guide the way.

After more than half an hour, the group passed through a bamboo forest and arrived at the river. The water, which was more than 30 meters deep, had a slow current and its bluish color made it impossible to see how deep it was.

"There's a section of the waterway that we have to pass through a cave, similar to the underwater bandit tunnel we encountered last time. The conditions inside are complicated, and the hovercraft could easily get punctured by rocks and debris, so we need to build a bamboo raft."

As Ji Haobo spoke, he turned and walked to the vicinity of the bamboo forest, took out the Demon Blade Flowing Fire Thousand Blades, and unleashed a Dao Blade Qi.

"Haobo, you mean there's another pile of corpses ahead?"

As Yang Xueli tied up the bamboo, she asked curiously. She hadn't gone that time, but had only heard that it was very terrifying.

"No, but the dead and eerie atmosphere here are far more than that small pile of corpses from last time."

Ji Haobo shook his head, noticing the change in their expressions, and continued quietly:

"King Xian was skilled in evil Gu magic, which contained all sorts of strange and bizarre techniques."

It is said that the guy spent twenty-seven years building this tomb, with a manpower of around 100,000 people at all times. The number of people who died during that time is absolutely beyond your imagination.

For King Xian, the living had their uses, and the dead had theirs. He wasn't afraid of people dying, since they could be reused anyway.

When they ran out of manpower, they arbitrarily seized mountain people, just like the Snowfield Demon Kingdom.

The tomb was not completed until the day King Xian died, but he had a loyal high priest to help him finish it.

Most of the victims died in the attack, and less than one in ten escaped.

From this, you can imagine how many people died building this tomb, which is said to be so ethereal and difficult for outsiders to break into unless the heavens collapse.

"hiss…"

After hearing this, everyone gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Damn, this Prince Xian is too perverted! Such a wicked fellow dares to dream of becoming an immortal; even the eighteen levels of hell wouldn't be enough for him to experience."

"What's this? Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum used 800,000 people and took 38 years to build. Can you imagine how many people died?"

As Ji Haobo spoke, he gestured for the group to stand on the bamboo raft that had been set up. He then tapped the ground with a bamboo pole, and the eight- or nine-meter-long raft slowly slid down the slope into the river.

A gentle breeze ripples the river, and the surrounding green mountains create a breathtaking scene that soothes the soul.

"Haobo, you haven't filled up the cave world on a large scale yet. Did you come here to search for dangerous peaks and strange mountains?"

"Haha... Shirley really understands me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haobo burst into laughter, reached out and hugged him, kissed him, and then let go.

"That was indeed my plan; the area is densely forested and rich in various resources."

Moreover, there is a treasure inside the Insect Valley; possessing it will improve the environment of the small cave world.

"Wow! A treasure? Mr. Bo, tell me quickly, what kind of treasure is so amazing?"

When Fatty Wang heard about the treasure, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly looked at him.

Seeing that everyone else was full of curiosity, Ji Haobo didn't keep them in suspense.

"This story begins with the formation of the Insect Valley. In the distant past, a strange meteorite fell here from the heavens."

Over the ages, the magnetic field emitted by the meteorite has not only created the unique environment of the Insect Valley;

It also isolates it from changes in the external environment, making the oxygen inside incredibly rich, allowing some extinct species to survive.

This is also why King Xian felt the feng shui there was excellent, and even if his kingdom fell and his entire family perished, he still wanted his tomb built there; he always believed that one day he would ascend to heaven.

"So, the treasure you're talking about, Master Bo, is the meteorite?"

When Fatty Wang heard it was that kind of thing, he immediately lost interest.

"Otherwise what? Do you think it's some kind of magic weapon from a deity?"

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes. This guy was a complete idiot; he had no idea how valuable things that could change the environment were.

"Brother Bo, I think I can see a cave ahead."

Upon hearing Lao Hu's words, everyone immediately looked up and saw a hole more than ten meters long, or rather, the mouth of a giant monster relief.

From a distance, it looked terrifyingly dark inside, and the river water became turbulent there, as if a monster was desperately trying to devour it.
