Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

"Hey! My dear Henian, didn't you tell the blind man last time that you dug up a lot of gold in the Zhang family's ancestral graves? Why do you want more now?"

With the Zhang family's long history... isn't that huge "gold mountain" enough? Hei Xiazi probably doesn't think their true forms are that big...

Even if the Zhang family moved a lot away, there must still be a lot left... So why are they looking for gold both times they went into the tomb this year...?

Black Bear was thinking a lot, but Qin Henian knew nothing about it. However, if Qin Henian could figure out what Black Bear was thinking, he might know what the other was thinking about him... He would definitely tell this blind man just how "big" the true form of the divine beast really was!

This was a tiny world, too small to even fit his wings. If it weren't for his adaptable and "good" nature, he would definitely have returned to the small world where he trained and lived a carefree life...

"Gold, who wouldn't want too much?"

"Hurry up! Dig! Hollow out this side, dig that side! Once you've got the stone shell, get the gold brick out of there!"

Qin Henian rolled his eyes at Hei Xiazi, gripped the Luoyang shovel in his hand, raised it towards the stone wall, and his eyes gleamed with a shrewd light that seemed to see through everything.

Hearing Qin Henian's words, Hei Xiazi stopped pretending. He loves money, money loves me, money loves me...

Two whirlwinds swept past Zhang Qilin, beginning their "ping-pong" noise project against the diagonal wall of the tomb chamber. Meanwhile, a slight smile played on Zhang Qilin's lips as he approached, gripping his Luoyang shovel, and began his own ping-pong project.

Meanwhile, the noises from the tomb chamber caught the attention of Wu Xie and his group next door. With a series of maneuvers by Fatty Wang, a stone door suddenly rose and fell behind the wall next door, connecting the two chambers. The seven men faced each other, but neither side spoke immediately... and a moment of silence fell...

"Ahem... Hey He Nian, you guys were picking at the wall without even inviting me, Fatty, to join you?"

"Are we still brothers?! Doing bad things isn't allowed... Holy crap! We're rich!!!!!"

Fatty Wang, always eager to liven things up, quickly spoke up when the atmosphere started to dampen. But he'd barely uttered a few words when a sidelong glance caught sight of a wall with its bricks smashed to pieces... and beneath it, a large expanse of glittering gold was visible...

Without further ado, his hand reached for the pry bar in his backpack, and he moved like the wind to the golden wall. Wang Pangzi's eyes gleamed with the light of gold as he picked up the pry bar and began to pry at the wall...

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

"I'm rich... I'm rich... I've struck it rich..."

Seeing Wang Pangzi's series of smooth and skillful operations, everyone followed suit and started picking up tools to pry it open!

Because of the large number of people, Qin Henian and his companions couldn't expose their claws, which were different from humans, and couldn't continue to pry open the wall like they had before. Fortunately, they had already pried out quite a bit and put it into their respective spaces, and had also made an appearance by putting a lot in their backpacks. Now that only the surface of the golden wall had been pried off, and since everyone had arrived, Qin Henian decided to cover up his own spree while stuffing more into his bag...

At worst, he can wait until Wu Xie and the others finish loading, and then he can come back later when he has a spare moment to load the rest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

.........！ ！ ！

The knocking stopped in the tomb chamber after twenty minutes, and the team that had been digging at the walls were now all resting on the floor...

"I never imagined that one day those gold bricks would make me so tired. Now my bag and pockets are full, it seems I can't take the rest with me!"

Panzi was overjoyed to finally receive the money. He explained that the changes in the young master after the third master left meant that some of his businesses had expanded too much and required a large sum of money. Finding so much gold would at least help him through the crisis for a while.

"What's wrong with not being able to take it out?"

"Next time, Third Master can just bring us here a few more times."

Kan Jian sat down next to Pan Zi and listened to Pan Zi's sigh as he replied, his tone full of trust in Wu Xie.

"Kan Jian is right, Pan Zi, don't think so much. Having complicated thoughts is bad for your brain!"

Wu Xie also chimed in during their conversation, adding that he was also concerned about Pan Zi.

Those who have been following him these past few days are exhausted and need a good rest. They must get a good night's sleep before discussing anything else.

Buzz buzz buzz....

Buzz buzz buzz....

A loud buzzing sound filled his ears. Qin Henian lifted his eyelids, sensing the direction of the buzzing, and then looked around the tomb chamber. Aside from Hei Xiazi, who had just opened his eyes to rest like him, Zhang Qilin, Wu Xie, and the other two were still chatting. Wang Pangzi, meanwhile, was still intently stroking the golden wall, staring at it without blinking...

"He Nian, my darling! Dumb boy! Something's here!"

When Hei Xiazi heard the buzzing sound in his ears again, he said in a deep voice.

Zhang Qilin remained silent. Zhang Qilin stood up. Zhang Qilin gripped his knife.

"I'm not deaf!"

Qin Henian stood up. Qin Henian was irritated. Qin Henian roared!

"What do you mean, 'not deaf'? He Nian, what's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing Qin Henian's loud shout, Wu Xie was taken aback and curiously looked up to ask a question.

Qin Henian turned his gaze and sighed inwardly.

"I'm fine, I just heard some flying insects buzzing. The insects in the tomb are probably not simple. What do you think, Wu Xie?"

Qin Henian asked Wu Xie for his opinion.

Wu Xie instantly understood Qin Henian's meaning. Moreover, during the time they were in the tomb, Xiao Ge and the others had hardly helped them after the initial assistance. Now that Henian was asking for his opinion, Wu Xie understood their intentions. They were training him while also providing practical instruction.

"Insects? Use fire!"

"Fatty, Panzi...you two check your bags for a flintlock pistol. I remember I pulled out two secondhand ones this time, hurry up and get them out!"

Wu Xie spoke very quickly, rapidly finishing what he wanted to say while his eyes constantly scanned his surroundings.

"Where's the bug? I can't see it..."

Kan Jian was standing right next to a mechanism on a floor tile in the tomb. While wandering around, he unconsciously stepped on it, revealing small stone holes about three or four centimeters in size at the four corners of the tomb. As the mechanism was activated, a buzzing sound with no sound insulation could be heard in everyone's ears... The sound came from afar and then approached.

Buzz buzz buzz....

Buzz buzz...

"Really insects! And flying insects at that. The creatures in the tomb are all very fierce. What do we do now, Third Master?"

As the voice drew closer, Pan Zi looked worried, tilting his head to ask questions while waiting for his young master's next arrangement.

what to do...

The flying insects in the tomb are definitely not ordinary insects. We still don't know if they're poisonous or how they attack. Grandpa's notes record many things from the tomb, but Wu Xie hasn't seen a single flying insect, so it's difficult to make a judgment now...

"It's definitely true that flying insects are afraid of fire. Fatty, do you have any sulfuric acid with you?"

Wu Xie seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask Fatty Wang.

Wang Pangzi grinned, inwardly marveling at how Wu Xie's reaction to situations had improved remarkably in recent days. He realized that Xiao Ge and the others were intentionally training Wu Xie, so he couldn't hold him back too much. This time, he had to be a caring "nanny."

"I don't have any readily available, but I do have some saltpeter powder and sulfur powder on hand. I originally planned to use them to repel snakes, insects, and rodents in the forest. The explosives worked before, and luckily I still have some left. Otherwise, if you asked me for them now, I really wouldn't be able to produce them right away!"

While answering Wu Xie's question, Fatty Wang walked to the back of Pan Zi's backpack, unzipped the outer layer, took out two bags of different colored powders, and shook them in Wu Xie's direction.
