Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

"We stay? No way!"

"How can we let you go alone? Wouldn't it be better if we went with you?"

Qin Henian instinctively retorted upon hearing the implication in Zhang Qilin's words. In Qin Henian's mind, the cub needed an adult beast like him to watch over it so that it could grow up safely!

They completely forgot that this was not their ancient beast realm, nor the Celestial Clan's training space, but an ordinary small world where they had been ambushed and thrown into. There was no danger in the beast realm here, nor would there be any cubs that could not survive, because this world was too ordinary and had no resources to support the life and growth of divine beasts.

"quickly!"

He'll be back soon, very soon! He just needs to find the connection point in his memories, retrieve his long-forgotten memories, and connect the memories in his mind, and he'll be back.

Zhang Qilin's intuition was accurate. He believed he would be back safely soon, so he subconsciously stared intently into Qin Henian's eyes, as if stubbornly telling him that he would be alright.

"We'll be there soon too!"

Qin Henian still felt it would be better for him to go with Zhang Qilin, and he looked back at Zhang Qilin to tell him his decision.

"wait for me!"

"Ah Ning is a drag on the team!"

Zhang Qilin had no choice. He didn't want to refuse, but reason told him it was better to go alone. Just then, his eyes swept over A Ning, and an excuse came to him.

"Ah Ning is dragging us down... well, that's true!"

"Alright then, I'll wait for you here. You have twenty minutes. If you're not back in twenty minutes, I'll come looking for you."

Qin Henian thought of A Ning and realized that bringing her along would indeed affect the beast's speed. After all, with someone with them, it wouldn't be convenient to directly transform into their original form and fly away! If they acted separately, it would indeed be much faster.

"Ok!"

Zhang Qilin nodded!

Zhang Qilin turned around, released the beast pressure within his body, passed through the Jinmi Luotuo group, moved quickly, and walked a long way through the jade mine until he disappeared.

Watching the departing figure, Ah Ning, who had been subtly mocked several times, was filled with helplessness!

What's going on here?! You can chat all you want, why bring her into it?! Even if she wanted to go to Zhang Family Ancient Building now, she couldn't possibly go. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, why would she be stupid enough to go? Isn't it better to be alive?

"Hey! Ah Ning, does your inherited memory tell you which branch you belong to?"

"Or do you know whose descendant you are?"

Qin Henian looked at the vanished child, then turned to A Ning and asked in confusion.

Which branch? Which descendants?

Ah Ning was puzzled. She recalled what was in her mind, and several strange symbols shimmered in her mind, but it seemed that there was a transparent veil separating them, making it difficult for her to see them clearly.

Pressing her head, Ah Ning frowned and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"Tsk... I shouldn't have asked you that question! And it's my fault... I forgot how many years it's been, it's understandable that you don't remember!"

Qin Henian curled his lip. He was just bored and wanted to find something to do. Chatting and talking was a way to pass the time.

"Mr. Qin, do you know my family?"

Ah Ning's eyes were serious; she wanted to try and find out what the other party was thinking.

"I don't know them, at least I don't know your parents!"

Qin Henian sensed the jargon in the conversation, but he didn't care. After all, so many years had passed; who would have guessed it if he hadn't mentioned it?

"At least you don't know my parents. Does Mr. Qin mean you know my other relatives?"

"But I've been an orphan since I was little. I don't even know which relatives I have, or if they've ever looked for me. Maybe they're all dead. Anyway, I won't acknowledge any relatives who didn't raise me!"

Ah Ning is a very clear-headed woman; she won't lose her judgment because of so-called blood ties...

"I didn't ask you to acknowledge them, but perhaps you have a point. Maybe your parents really do love you, but they're dead?"

Qin Henian looked at the gray kinship line on the other person's head and spoke indifferently.

"Dead...dead is dead, everyone dies eventually!"

Ah Ning raised an eyebrow; she didn't care that Qin Henian cursed her own parents to death.

"Tsk tsk... You're quite clear-headed, girl. Fine! Based on your remarks, I'll have someone take you back to your tribe for a blood test to acknowledge your ancestry after we leave!"

Aside from sometimes disliking A Ning's way of doing things, Qin Henian found her temperament quite agreeable, so of course he had to bring such a good subordinate back with him…

While Qin Henian and A Ning were chatting, not a single Golden Miluo Tuo dared to cross the three-meter encirclement. On the other side, Zhang Qilin solved one mechanism after another in the tomb passage. Following his intuition and fragmented memories, he finally found a secret family passage that led directly to the mechanism operation alley of the Zhang family's ancient building. With the help of his Qilin blood, he easily bypassed one tomb passage after another and one tomb chamber after another, finally moving upwards in the mountain. Soon he arrived at his destination.

His intuition told him that this was the place!

As Zhang Qilin looked over, he saw that the layout of this tomb chamber was different from the previous ones. Unlike the tomb chamber where he had just separated from He Nian and passed by the replicant and the tomb chamber where the right elbow was stored, there were too many of them before, and the paths they took were quite complicated. There were many places between the layers that outsiders could not enter. But now he had arrived at a tomb chamber with many coffins.

Zhang Qilin remembered that this burial chamber was the final resting place of the clan leaders of past generations. This time, he was going to find his own coffin, lie down inside, and receive his own memories. The coffins were arranged in layers, but all in an orderly fashion. In the center of the chamber was a stone platform where Zhang Qilin remembered something – the Zhang family genealogy. The simplest way to find his own coffin was to check the genealogy and its order...

With a long stride, Zhang Qilin traced the names one by one with his slender fingertips, finally landing on a familiar one. Looking at the order after that name, Zhang Qilin turned around nimbly and scanned the rows of coffins. Finally, he quickly moved to a coffin, pushed it open with force, revealing the empty space inside. Zhang Qilin flipped over and jumped inside, then made sure to close the lid of his coffin tightly.

Yangjiaoshan Lake.

Beneath his sunglasses, Black Bear's golden-red pupils scanned the mountainside. Because of the mountain's vast size, one or two tiny golden scales near the corners of his eyes suddenly became visible, though no one noticed due to the size of his sunglasses. However, Black Bear himself could sense it; since successfully becoming a beast, he could easily perceive differences in his body, both sensory and otherwise...

A faint, beastly pressure, belonging to the Pixiu, slowly transmitted information into the mountain through invisible ripples in the air.

Qin Henian, who was having a pleasant chat with A Ning, suddenly noticed the fluctuations in the air. He greeted A Ning, closed his mouth and eyes, and leaned against the wall, seemingly resting, but in reality, he was releasing the beastly pressure within him.
