This move left everyone bewildered. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until suddenly unleashing the dogs. What was the meaning of this? It's a bit confusing!

Mao Buduo was a little confused when he was thrown out, but then he heard Zheng Zhuang's divine sense transmission, instructing him to take everyone to the mountain.

Zheng Zhuang was also somewhat helpless. He could guess the general direction of the entrance, but he couldn't determine the exact location, so he could only send Mao Buduo to scout ahead.

Now that the approximate location has been calculated, with so many people going together, someone will surely find some clues, and then no one will doubt his ability to "locate the burial site".

After receiving Zheng Zhuang's order, Mao Buduo did not hesitate and started running as fast as he could, heading straight up the mountain.

As it was about to disappear from sight, the group, though somewhat suspicious, had no choice but to reluctantly follow in its footsteps.

So, hundreds of people followed Mao Buduo, jumping up and down, creating quite a spectacular scene.

Suddenly, halfway up the mountain, Mao Buduo stopped and began barking wildly at a large tree.

This tree looks quite old; its trunk is about as thick as two people could hug. It is covered with a dense network of unknown vines that extend all the way to the top, as if enveloping the entire tree.

"You two go and take a look!" Wu Qiling pointed at two strong men and ordered them.

The two did as instructed and gently parted the vines on the tree. They found a large hole in the center of the tree, as if the inside of the tree had been hollowed out.

The tree hole leads directly underground, where it is pitch black and the depth cannot be discerned at first glance.

The two quickly turned around and reported, and Wu Qiling personally rushed to the side of the big tree upon hearing this.

He picked up a stone and gently tossed it into the tree hole. It took quite a while before he heard the stone land.

"It's quite deep down there!" Mo Gang also rushed over.

Wu Qiling nodded in agreement, saying, "It seems we've found the right place. Brother Zheng, you're quite capable!"

Everyone was overjoyed to hear this, not expecting to find the entrance so easily, and they all showered them with compliments:

"Impressive! What a masterful 'geomancy analysis'!"

"That's right, that's right. This dog is amazing. It found it right away. I should have brought my black dog from home."

"Do you think just any dog ​​will do? This dog is obviously not an ordinary breed."

"..."

Zheng Zhuang was secretly pleased with himself, having just shown off a little, but on the surface he waved his hand dismissively, as if it were nothing to worry about.

He gently stroked the sparsely haired head, then put it back into the cloth bag.

Wu Qiling and Mo Gang exchanged a glance and decided to each select two men from their subordinates to go and scout ahead.

Soon, both sides had chosen their representatives. Since it was agreed from the beginning that they would take the lead, no one else had any objections.

"Be careful, Seventh Brother. If anything goes wrong, just let me know and I'll pull you up right away," Mo Gang said as he lowered the rope.

Wu Qiling also gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and then released one of them.

Because the tree hole is very deep, people who go down keep a distance from each other to facilitate the transmission of information.

If something happens to those below, those above will still have time to escape.

For a moment, everyone held their breath and listened intently to the sounds coming from under the tree hole, with only the sound of ropes rubbing together in the surroundings.

After quite some time, the person who went down finally sent back news.

"There's an underground palace down there!"

Because the tree hole was limited in size, only one person could pass through at a time. Old Cai didn't have much patience, so he forcefully pushed aside the people standing by the tree and jumped down.

Everyone was furious but dared not speak out, and Wu Qiling and Mo Gang also jumped down.

Several cultivators hidden in the crowd deliberately lagged behind. Two of them even glanced at Mao Buduo as they passed by Zheng Zhuang.

Finally, except for a few lookouts, everyone went down into the ground.

As they descended, Zheng Zhuang discovered that the lower they went, the wider the space became. When they reached the bottom of the earth, a huge underground palace appeared before them.

"There must be many treasures inside!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Although everyone was itching to get their hands on it, no one dared to make a move. Everyone who came here was no fool; they knew that the treasure wasn't so easy to take.

The group cautiously approached the gate, which was carved with a ferocious beast with a tiger's head and a lion's body. Its eyes were blood red and its long fangs sent chills down their spines.

But strangely, it seemed as if a piece was missing from its forehead...

Zheng Zhuang's heart skipped a beat; the shape of the gap seemed similar to that of the iron plate.

Without hesitation, he took out the iron plate and pressed it into the notch, and sure enough, it fit perfectly.

As soon as the iron plate was put back in place, the beast's eyes suddenly lit up, as if it were about to come to life. Not only that, the beast's forehead began to change, and the character "王" (king) gradually appeared.

This iron plate is indeed a key!

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble slightly, and then the gate of the underground palace slowly opened.

“'Lion and Tiger King'! No wonder we couldn’t find his tomb, I never expected it to be here!” Wu Qiling exclaimed excitedly.

Many people looked puzzled, wondering who this "Lion and Tiger King" was.

"That legendary ruler of the 'Star Wheel Kingdom'?" Old Cai asked, somewhat surprised.

Wu Qiling nodded and explained:

"I didn't expect that you had also heard of this person, sir. However, he shouldn't be considered human. As you all know, Cangzhou used to have more than just the two kingdoms of Cangyue and Xuri."

--There was once a very powerful and wealthy country called 'Star Wheel Kingdom', but its ruler was cruel by nature and often took pleasure in killing innocent people. The people suffered greatly and finally united to rebel. With other countries taking advantage of the situation, the kingdom was eventually destroyed.

--But when the palace was finally breached, the King of Xinglun was nowhere to be found, and much of the gold and silver treasures had vanished. The various kingdoms almost had a civil war over this, all thinking that someone had embezzled the treasures.

--As for why he is not considered human, it is because, according to legend, he can sometimes turn into a lion, sometimes into a tiger, and sometimes even into a half-lion, half-tiger monster, hence the title 'Lion and Tiger King'.

--In addition, during his reign, terrifying roars of beasts were often heard in the palace, but it is said that everyone who saw them was eaten by him, so no one knows whether it is true or not.

--However, regardless of the rumors, the claim that there is treasure at the burial site of the 'Lion King' is beyond doubt!

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, as if countless gold and silver treasures were within their grasp.

Zheng Zhuang, however, heard something different in it. If a mortal could turn into a lion or a tiger, wouldn't that be the same as those "transvestites"?

He suddenly felt that this trip seemed even more interesting.
