Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

In addition, Su Chen also equipped each person with a Browning pistol for close-quarters combat.

If the wolves charge at you while you're reloading, you can use your pistol to hold them off temporarily.

After making preparations, everyone took a short break.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Su Chen also has to patrol at night.

Around midnight, Su Chen got up from the tent and went outside to patrol the night.

He was accompanied on night watch by Black-backed Old Six and two of Old Ma's men.

A cold wind howled, and even sitting by the fire, one could still feel the chill creeping in.

"Wipe, wipe..."

Just then, a faint sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the trap that Ciren had prepared was triggered.

A series of wolf howls woke everyone up.

The group rushed out of the tent, raised their guns, and stood ready for battle.

Even Yin Xinyue was tightly gripping a submachine gun in her hand.

One after another, wolves charged toward the vicinity of the tent.

"Da da da……"

A barrage of gunfire erupted in an instant.

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and under the overwhelming firepower, all the demon wolves died.

Su Chen examined the wolf carcasses on the ground but found no trace of the White Wolf King.

"These wolves are just a preliminary probe; the white wolf king with his main force is probably not far away." Su Chen looked around; the biting wind made it difficult to discern directions.

Fortunately, everyone had plenty of ammunition.

With its powerful firepower, it has no fear of these monsters.

"Mr. Su, you have such good equipment, how about lending us a few guns?"

Old Ma was a little envious.

These submachine guns have far greater firepower than their rifles.

"Sure, a submachine gun costs three hundred dollars, and a bullet costs two dollars."

Su Chen spoke up.

"Mr. Su, this is robbery!"

Old Ma was dissatisfied.

A gun plus a hundred bullets would cost five hundred dollars.

He can't afford it.

"Then please do as you please."

Su Chen did have quite a few guns in his system inventory, but he couldn't expose the system inventory.

The only way to trade guns is by taking them from the crowd.

At this critical juncture, losing even one gun could be dangerous.

"We can't wait any longer. If we don't rest all night, we won't have much energy to go down into the tomb tomorrow."

Partridge Whistle was getting impatient. "Let's take the initiative and go find the White Wolf King."

"Do as you say."

Su Chen also realized that it was not worth it to be worn down by the wolves like this.

With overwhelming firepower, the danger is extremely low; it's better to deal with those wolves beforehand.

"You can smear wolf blood on your body to cover up your scent."

Ciren said.

With Ciren's help, everyone smeared wolf blood on themselves.

Afterwards, the group set off to search for the White Wolf King's whereabouts.

It took nearly an hour to finally find the wolf.

However, all the wolves in the area were dead, and the ground was littered with their corpses.

It seems he was bitten to death by the White Wolf King.

"According to the epic poem of the Demon Kingdom, the White Wolf King is a demon slave, and the Nine-Story Demon Tower is located nearby. The White Wolf King must have killed the priests."

"It seems the wolf pack won't be coming tonight."

Zaba explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back to the camp and rest first, but we still can't let our guard down tonight."

Su Chen said.

Knowing that the White Wolf King would not attack again tonight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gradually returned to the vicinity of the camp.

Old Ma then walked to the body of his concubine.

Unexpectedly, this trip resulted in heavy losses, and his favorite people all perished.

Old Ma couldn't help but feel a little sad. He lifted the white cloth to see Han Li.

To everyone's surprise, when the white cloth was lifted, there was no trace of Han Li!

A crack appeared under the white cloth.

"Mr. Su!"

Old Ma hurriedly called Su Chen over.

The others also gathered around.

Su Chen turned on his flashlight and shone it downwards. He saw that Han Li seemed to have come back to life in the cracks below the glacier.

Her movements were stiff, yet her joints could rotate in a strange way.

Her head could rotate 180 degrees.

That would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person.

The flashlight beam shone on Han Li.

Su Chen noticed that Han Li's face had turned pale and bloodshot.

That's not her face at all!

"Snow Maitreya! It's Snow Maitreya!"

The bard Zhaba recognized Han Li's identity. "The biography of the Supreme Master Tsongkhapa records that they would burrow into the clothes of a corpse, and the surface of the corpse would turn white, as if it were covered with a layer of white flesh."

"It will continue to attack live people and livestock. If it cannot eat any live people within two or three days, it will slowly dry up and shrink, disperse again, and hide in the underground glaciers."

"Once they absorb blood and corpses, they become obese, like lumps of fat, sticking layer upon layer to the dead body, looking from a distance like a very fat snowman."

I never expected that this monster would reappear.

Hunter Ciren's face turned deathly pale.

He had been to Karamir once before, but he had never seen so many strange things.

Why are all sorts of demons and monsters appearing this time?

“Mr. Su, this is not a place we should set foot in. I suggest we leave as soon as possible.”

Ciren said with some concern.

"No, Han Li is still downstairs!"

Old Ma said anxiously.

"She is no longer a human being."

Su Chen looked at Black-backed Old Six and Partridge Whistle, "You two stay here and keep watch, rotating every hour. If it tries to come up through this passage, open fire immediately."

"The rest of you should go back to your tents to rest and recharge."

Su Chen carried out the arrangements in an orderly manner.

At this point, Snow Maitreya posed no threat.

If she continues to devour blood and corpses, it will become a big problem.

……

Neither Xue Mile nor the wolf pack appeared that night.

As dawn broke, the group packed their belongings and continued their journey.

Su Chen then opened the map and checked the location.

Before long, Su Chen calculated the approximate location of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

"A garden without any tilting or leaning is the same on all four sides, flat like a silkworm lying on a high ridge. Straight like a ridge of a canyon with a rope drawn up, small like a pen tip stuck on a high peak. These five are the proper forms of Greedy Wolf, and good or bad fortune must be clearly understood. Mars must rise from the position of Lian Zhen, and Greedy Wolf will be born from this position."

Su Chen looked into the distance, "That should be the location of the Nine-Story Demon Tower!"

The group resumed their journey.

Knowing the exact location, everyone was excited and quickened their pace.

On the vast snowfield, the group arrived at a small hill.

Looking down from the hills, the ground is rugged and uneven, winding forward like giant dragons.

The mountains and rivers on the ground blended into the markings on the map.

"According to the scroll, it should be there!"

Su Chen pointed to a location in the northwest and said, "Use ginger juice to dig and create an opening as soon as possible to enter the tomb!"
