Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

After everyone had looked at all the documents on the table, their faces remained expressionless.

Human nature is unreliable...

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Countless wooden sticks, each more than a meter long, were stuck in circles on the mudflats. The tent clusters that were originally close to the mudflats had been moved back about 500 meters.

"Hey bro, Fatty, why did He Nian tell us to move our campsite so far back?"

Wu Xie was standing by the curtain of a tent, looking at Zhang Qilin, Wang Pangzi, and Xie Yuchen, who had just passed by carrying a bunch of instant noodle boxes, and asked in confusion, his forehead covered in sweat.

Zhang Qilin glanced at Wu Xie, then pursed his lips without saying a word.

Since their campsite had already been set up, and now they were suddenly moving to a different location, they had to move a lot of things. Even with all the training they had done, Wu Xie's stamina wouldn't suddenly increase dramatically. So when he was too tired to continue, he just found a spot on the road closest to the tent and plopped down, finally managing to speak.

"Naive! How did you train to be so small? This won't do. Looks like I'll have to get Blackie back to give you extra training!"

When Fatty Wang saw Wu Xie asking a question, and the young man was mute, even if he knew the answer, he wouldn't speak like a turtle trying to hold its tongue. Helpless, Fatty Wang could only change the subject himself.

"You fatso! What are you saying?!"

"I just wanted to know why we're so far away? After all, we already set up a spot, and then we moved it back, causing a lot of trouble for everyone. So I was just curious!"

Upon hearing Wang Pangzi's words, Wu Xie immediately exploded, instantly awakening the Debate Against the Confucian Scholars achievement point 1.

"What are you curious about? You can just ask me directly, right?"

Suddenly, Qin Henian quietly poked his head out of the tent, landing right behind Wu Xie's shoulder. His eyes were bright and he loved watching the excitement.

"what!"

A voice suddenly appeared behind Wu Xie, which startled him. He overreacted and only realized what was happening seven or eight seconds later.

He then pondered Qin Henian's words for a moment, his eyes darting around before finally asking a question.

"Hehe... Henian~ I just want to know why we're making such a big fuss about moving our camp back."

"Hmm? Well... after Liu Sang found several locations to place the explosives, I had the geography experts below take a look at that mudflat. You should have seen the many sticks they planted there. The report they came up said that the soil there wasn't very good, and that blasting it directly would easily cause a collapse, and the area was quite large. So I had everyone move the camp back a bit, and we'll place the timed explosives there. We'll go down after the mudflat has collapsed."

Since Wu Xie had asked the question, Qin Henian kindly answered him and explained the current situation to him.

"I see...hehe...that explains it!"

Wu Xie scratched his head, remembering the problem and vowing never to make the same mistake again.

After all, now that he, the young master of the Wu family, has joined the government and has a boss, he can't do anything to displease his boss in the future.

"Alright, hurry up and finish carrying the last of the instant noodles. After dinner, we'll go down into the tomb when the stars come out."

Having become the leader, Qin Henian naturally had to arrange everything properly.

After everyone had finished tidying up, and after everyone had eaten dinner, the sky grew darker and the stars became clearer. Qin Haonian then had the surrounding area sealed off. He shouldered the backpacks and supplies he had prepared beforehand, casually picked up the team that had gone to Zhuomula Ri Snow Mountain before, and, along with Wu Xie, Jie Yuchen, and Zhang Qilin, stood guard at the tent entrance, ready to set off at any time.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mudflats, Liu Sang was lying on the ground, his ears twitching as he looked up at the sky and directed his men to plant time bombs at the locations he had marked, to be detonated when they returned to their tents.

Unfortunately, this time, because he is too young, he is not allowed to go down and help.

"Ugh…"

This was the thirteenth time Liu Sang had sighed while making markings…

Half an hour later, "Bang!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!..." "Rumble rumble rumble..." A series of explosions rang out, sparks flew across the night ground, the soil collapsed and caved in, and a series of rumbling sounds echoed...

rustling... rustling...

The sound of several ropes descending echoed through the darkness after a series of rumbling sounds…

On the mudflats, Zara Rossi led a group of tall women in suits, standing guard in three teams in front of the seven rappelling ropes.

In the darkness, the sound of footsteps hitting the ground rang out, mixed with the beams of headlamp lights, and the seven people quickly gathered together.

"Now that all seven are here, let's check each other to see if anyone has been replaced!"

Although the Wang family is gone, it doesn't mean that the gang of sycophants behind them won't take advantage of this to send more people in, especially those close to them. They must be checked, checked, and checked again.

Even though Qin Henian and Zhang Qilin have seen through these people clearly, they still need to come up with a plan.

This time, Qin Henian only brought two of his own people with him. One was Zhalaroxi's brother, Zhalarowa, and the other was Peng Yangshi Jijiarui, a member of Zhalarowa's team. Both were old surnames. Over the centuries, they had been changed and filled in, and various ethnic groups had intermarried. The names of the descendants of the people left behind by Zhao Zheng had become longer and longer. If Qin Henian didn't have a photographic memory, he wouldn't have been able to recognize the names of the people he brought.

"Your Highness, no one has been replaced."

Zhala Luowa was very efficient. After checking each other with his teammates, one of them checked Wu Xie and the other checked Xie Yuchen. Although there was a bit of a commotion when checking Xie Yuchen, they confirmed that it was indeed him.

As for Fatty Wang, with his size, he's not someone an ordinary person can replace. And Zhang Qilin... they won't check him. He's His Highness's man, and His Highness hasn't explicitly said they won't interfere.

"Okay, then let's listen to Wu Xie! As Wu Xie said, the first step is to find the way and the mechanisms to enter the tomb!"

After completing the surface ritual, Qin Henian turned around and removed the lamp from his head, holding it in his hand and shining it around to check the surroundings. He also extended his consciousness to see what was going on in this tomb.

Wu Xie smoothly took over Qin Henian's command and began to prepare to lead this tomb raiding operation. His heart was pounding, and it was the first time he had a license to lead an operation, so he was a little excited.

"The lights have shone through here; it's a tomb passage. We don't know where it leads in either direction. We'll split into two teams and communicate using walkie-talkies!"

After his initial excitement subsided, Wu Xie regained his composure and immediately pointed to the two passages in front and behind him.
