Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Yang Kang and his entourage rode on large black horses, galloping across the vast grasslands.

"Let us be companions in this mortal world, living freely and unrestrained, galloping on horseback, sharing in the splendor of life..."

"Stop! Uncle Huang, stop!"

Qin Yu quickly stopped Huang Qiang's humming, "This song is about young lovers wandering the world, what are we, a bunch of grown men, doing getting involved?"

Yang Kang, who was standing to the side, seized the opportunity and joked with a smile:

"Exactly! When Teacher Huang retired from the music scene, I cheered him on! Oh my god!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Yang Kang suddenly fell off his horse with a thud.

"What the hell is this pit?! Oh my god, this is a real trap!"

Yang Kang fell headfirst into the mud pit at his feet, his face contorted with indignation and wailing.

Everyone around burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"It seems that our captain's awareness of road risks is still quite insufficient."

"You know what, even though our captain is covered in mud, he's actually quite charismatic."

"I solemnly declare that our captain was responsible for 90% of the team's laughs during this trip to the secret realm, hahaha!"

"Holy crap!? There's something dirty in this mud puddle!"

Just as everyone was laughing, Yang Kang suddenly screamed in horror, his whole body leaping three feet high like a spring, and he quickly escaped from the mud pit.

The others were taken aback: "Captain, what hand?"

Yang Kang still looked shaken, panting heavily, and patted his chest in a panic:

"When I fell into the mud pit just now, I think I saw something dirty buried underneath! I don't know what it was, it was all black."

"Dark and gloomy?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

At the same time, options appeared before Qin Yu's eyes.

Option 1: Ignore it and continue forward. Completion Reward: A small amount of Spirit Power.

Option 2: Retrieve the goblin buried in the mud pit. Reward: 30 Strength Points.

Option 3: Stomp the goblin further into the mud pit, condemning it to eternal rest. Reward: Obtain the title 'Bamboo Shoot Stealer,' granting you the power to automatically collect all bamboo shoots within a 1000-kilometer radius of yourself.

Goodness, option three is really amazing!

Especially that title, which can be described as the exterminator of iron-eating beasts.

To prevent the extinction of the Great Xia national treasure, the option of having a baby swallow without skin is still not recommended.

At this moment, the atmosphere within the team became somewhat heavy.

After all, these days, humans can go to the sky and the earth, so it's not hard to understand if there really are dirty things.

"To be honest, my hands and feet have been feeling ice-cold since just now. Have any of you felt this way?"

Liu Dapao's face was slightly pale.

Old Mao, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, my hands and feet are freezing cold too. Oh no, could we really be possessed by something evil?!"

"Possession my ass!" Huang Qiang said, speechless.

"With your extremely disciplined lifestyles, whether it's KTV, barbecue, or clubs with young models, how can your kidneys stay healthy? No wonder your hands and feet are always cold."

"Oh, it seems so."

Yang Kang waved his hand: "Alright, no matter what, this place is a bit eerie. Let's hurry up and continue on our way."

"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

Qin Yu interjected:

"I've studied a little astrology and feng shui; perhaps I can deduce what kind of ghost is buried in the mud pit?"

"Oh? You also know feng shui?" Everyone was taken aback.

“I am a student of the feng shui master Nikolai Ronfsky, so this is nothing to me.”

Everyone: "..."

Liu Dapao said quietly, "Xiao Qin, although I don't understand the field of Feng Shui, you can't treat us like fools."

“That’s right, that’s right,” the others chimed in.

"Niclonsky sounds like a foreign name. How could a Chinese person like you possibly understand a foreign language?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stumbled and staggered.

So, this is what you're focusing on?!

This guy is clearly a foreigner, so there's no way he could understand the feng shui of Great Xia!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh and rub their foreheads.

Mao patted Liu Dapao on the shoulder:

"Dapao, eat more Six Walnuts in the future to nourish your brain."

However, Qin Yu seemed oblivious to all of this. His expression suddenly became solemn and serious. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and an invisible aura slowly spread out, truly displaying the demeanor of a master.

Seeing Qin Yu's posture, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Does this kid really know it?

Qin Yu took a deep breath, then exhaled softly. His tightly closed eyes snapped open, flashing with a sharp light, and he spoke:

"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding mountain is a barrier..."

*Pfft!*

Everyone instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood, speechless.

They really thought this kid knew something...

All I can say is that this kid never disappoints when it comes to playing with abstract concepts!

"OK! I've figured it out, there's a goblin buried in the mud pit!"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.

"..."

Everyone just watched him silently, without saying a word.

Although it wasn't raining, they were speechless at Qin Yu's actions.

"Xiao Qin, this move of yours, if you're talking about high emotional intelligence, even a three-year-old would applaud it; if you're talking about low emotional intelligence, are you treating us like three-year-olds?"

"Hey, I'm not kidding you!" Qin Yu said.

"Come on, I've seen it with my own eyes. Goblins are green, but those things are pitch black."

Yang Kang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Let's put it this way, if there were goblins buried in this mud pit, I'd livestream myself wearing black stockings and being a slutty guy!"

"Oh? Uncle Yang, is that really true?" Qin Yu asked with a strange smile.

“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”

"Alright! Then you just wait and see what the brothers are up to!"

"Entwined by vines!"

Qin Yu chuckled wickedly, then immediately used the Wood Vine Entanglement technique.

The next moment, the surface of the mud pit loosened, and several thick wooden vines tumbled around at the bottom of the pit, then wrapped around the dirty thing buried at the bottom and pulled it up.

At this moment, the true face of this filthy thing was finally revealed to everyone.

Everyone who saw it gasped in shock.

It really is a goblin!?

Yang Kang was completely dumbfounded.

Watt hair?

Aren't all goblins green?

Why are there black ones?

What's wrong, buddy? Were you born from a cross between a dark horse and a wild horse?

"Haha, Captain, we're waiting for you to wear black stockings!"

"The captain wearing black stockings, just thinking about that scene is exciting!"
