Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Qin Henian watched the entire process of the two meeting under the tree, but he had no intention of interfering, because he had more important physiological problems to deal with.

With a leap, Qin Henian continued flying through the night until he was miles away from the person under the tree before landing on a treetop.

Smelling the pungent aroma of poisonous flesh wafting in the air, Qin Henian took two deep breaths.

"A self-service spider dish!"

Swish!

Leaping down from the treetop, Qin Henian plunged directly into the forest. His eyes were bloodshot, and he controlled the spread of his aura. His slender, fair, and long fingers pinched blue and red-spotted spiders with many legs that kept hopping around on the bark of the trees.

Then he opened his mouth... "Awoo!"

The moment the sweet, slightly fishy taste entered his mouth, Qin Henian's eyes practically sparkled. The cartilage and shell were crunchy and delicious! Qin Henian felt the irresistible temptation on his tongue...

With a gulp, Qin Henian began to swiftly traverse the forest. In each place he passed, he would tear off the bark and spider webs between the branches. The trees were fine, but the webs were a bit torn. Qin Henian only stopped after he had thoroughly inspected a small patch of grove at lightning speed.

Although he had eaten his fill, the forest was so vast, with so many trees, and plenty of delicious food resting on them. Looking at the spiders in the trees, Qin Henian hesitated for a moment.

There were too many spiders to eat in one meal, and it seemed a waste to throw them away. He put them in his pocket, but he hadn't even finished the snake pieces he'd put in last time; many of them had already been sliced ​​and made into dried snake. Putting these live spiders in now would probably cause the flavors to mix...

But if he just left like that, these spiders are so venomous, leaving them here would only harm people. It's better for him to pack them all up and take them with him...

Since he couldn't bear to part with it, he stopped thinking about it. Qin Henian raised his right hand, which still had some bloodstains that hadn't been wiped off.

Squeak...

A blue-orange flame hovered at his fingertips. Qin Henian looked at the familiar firelight. It seemed like he hadn't used his personal divine fire for a long time. After all, he wasn't a real white crane bird who could only use ordinary immortal-level flames. He was a Bifang bird, born with flames. Bifang birds could burn whatever they wanted, it all depended on their mood!

Let's roast all these spiders until they're dry and take them home as snacks!

Without hesitation, Qin Henian moved the blue-orange flames at his fingertips as he wished, and they began to attack the spider swarm in the jungle without burning anything other than the target spiders. Even the spiders were only half-burned.

The next day, sunlight pierced the darkness.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!

"Get up! Get up! Everyone, get up and have some breakfast!"

Early in the morning, Fatty Wang stood in the second-floor corridor, knocking on his brothers' doors repeatedly, determined to wake them all up!

creak!

Zhang Qilin's door opened first, and he stood obediently in the corridor after coming out. He glanced at Qin Henian's door, but at this moment, Fatty Wang had already knocked on Wu Xie's door and walked in to wake up the bewildered Wu Xie.

The three of them gathered together and looked at the last door that was not yet open.

Boom boom boom!

"He Nian! Get up! Fatty made egg noodles this morning!"

Finally, Fatty Wang knocked on Qin Henian's door.

"coming!"

creak!

The door opened, and Qin Henian was wearing a light blue tracksuit, looking energetic, clearly having gotten up quite early.

After the meal, Yun Cai led the four of them on a tour of the village, introducing the village as they walked.

"Four bosses, many of the houses in our village are newly built brick and tile houses from recent years, but we also have some older houses. If you plan to develop a tourism project here, the old houses can be opened to tourists..."

"Our mountains here also have many mushrooms and rare plants..."

Yun Cai chattered along with the four of them, a smile on her face, and gesturing with her hands from time to time...

"Yesterday I saw a group photo of some well-dressed people with people from your village in your old family photos. Were they also here for tourism?"

As Wu listened to Yun Cai's story and observed the surroundings of the village, he learned some things and asked questions at the appropriate time.

"Old photos?"

"Those photos that fell off the wall? My dad said they were photos of his father, my grandfather, with an archaeological team."

After listening to Wu Xie's words, Yun Cai thought for a moment about the photos on her wall and began to explain.

"An archaeological team! Sister Yun Cai, an archaeological team has come to your village before?"

Fatty Wang spoke in a flatteringly gentle tone, his eyes fixed on the clouds, while a small flame in his heart was blazing wildly.

"Yes, my dad told me that decades ago an archaeological team came to our village. They camped out for a while at the foot of the cliff on the other side of Shuiniutougou. I don't know what they did there, but they left later."

Seeing that Wang Pangzi was curious about the past, Yun Cai didn't hide anything and told him about the archaeological team.

"Could you take us there to have a look?"

Upon hearing that they had been stationed there, Wu Xie's curiosity was piqued, and he turned to look at Yun Cai and asked her.

"It's possible, but it's a bit far and takes a long time to walk. The weather has been bad these past few days, with frequent rain. The forest paths are slippery and it's easy to fall into a ditch. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few days. It's not possible to go right now."

Yun Cai glanced at Wu Xie and answered his question with a smile.

"Let's go in a few days then. Anyway, we'll be staying in the village for a while. We haven't finished exploring the old houses yet. Sister Yun Cai, please continue telling Brother Pang about your village!"

Fatty Wang changed the subject. He didn't know why, but ever since he heard Qin Henian's words, he had believed them. He didn't want Yun Cai to get too involved in their affairs, but that didn't stop him from developing a relationship with her!

"Great, Fatty Boss!"

Although Yun Cai didn't know why Wang Pangzi was suddenly being so enthusiastic towards her, she still smiled and replied.

"Oh, little cloud! I told you not to call me that so formally, just call me Fatty Brother!!"

"Okay, Fatty!"

Seeing the atmosphere between Fatty Wang and Yun Cai, the other three also slowed down their pace, letting the two chat slowly ahead.

But Wu Xie wasn't one to keep quiet. He looked at the two people beside him, grabbed one of their arms, and placed himself between them.

"Young man, does this village seem familiar to you? Do you remember where your home is?"

Wu Xie stared at the expressionless Zhang Qilin with his dog-like eyes and asked a question.

"no"

Zhang Qilin spoke concisely, and while touring the village, he was already trying hard to recall if there were any familiar places.

"That house is the oldest and most dilapidated, but villagers pass by it from time to time. They must be guarding it, but they're not doing it very obviously. Little Qilin, do you recognize that house?"

At this moment, Qin Henian spoke in a calm voice, raising his head slightly and nodding his chin in one direction.
