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

"Ta Tata..."

Footsteps came from inside the cave.

The footsteps were very rhythmic, each step seemingly touching the hearts of everyone present.

Su Chen held his breath and hid outside the cave with the others.

Holding the black and gold ancient sword, Su Chen stood ready for battle.

A sinister aura wafted out of the cave; the giant zombie inside looked rather ferocious!

"Ta Tata..."

The footsteps are getting closer.

Just as it was about to burst out of the cave, Su Chen immediately took action.

The black and gold ancient sword in his hand slashed down on its own.

"Swish swish swish..."

It was like striking a hard rock, producing bursts of sparks.

Su Chen possessed nearly twenty times the strength of an ordinary person, and his Black Gold Ancient Blade was incredibly sharp, yet he didn't manage to harm that giant zombie?

Su Chen was filled with doubt and unease.

The giant rice dumpling went completely berserk and burst out of the cave.

Under the moonlight, a giant, ugly-faced zombie shrouded in black mist, wearing silver armor and sporting fangs, appeared before everyone.

The silver armor must have blocked Su Chen's attack just now.

A knife mark appeared on the silver armor, and cracks appeared in the armor.

This armor, capable of withstanding the Black Gold Ancient Blade, must be no ordinary object.

Black-backed Six, Partridge Whistle, and Chief Chen immediately surrounded the giant zongzi. They were agile, but the giant zongzi was incredibly strong.

Su Chen stared at the black gold ancient knife and cut his finger.

Su Chen's blood contains phoenix blood and qilin blood, which can suppress evil spirits.

The ancient black and gold sword, stained with blood, gleamed brilliantly.

Taking advantage of the opening, Su Chen slashed down again with force. This time, the blade not only cleaved through the armor, but the momentum continued downward, finally striking the giant zombie's thigh.

The sharp black gold ancient sword severed one of the giant zongzi's legs.

The others worked together to corner the giant zongzi, and Su Chen swiftly chopped it in half with his knife.

You're done!

This giant rice dumpling is about to break through again, which will likely cause even more trouble.

If it were a one-on-one fight, neither Blackback Six, nor Partridge Whistle, nor Chief Chen would likely be able to handle it.

Fortunately, Su Chen was with them this time, and they managed to kill the giant zongzi before it became too powerful.

"The body was burned!"

Su Chen gave instructions.

"That old bastard really doesn't tell the truth. How could this giant zongzi have only consumed a few people? It must have consumed at least dozens, close to a hundred."

Blackback Old Six cursed.

Even he found it somewhat troublesome.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time!" General Manager Chen nodded in agreement. "Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

……

They found some dry branches and placed them directly on the large rice dumpling.

After the branches were lit, flames also engulfed the large rice dumpling.

Su Chen and the others made several simple torches and lit them with the flames from the giant rice dumpling.

After the fire was extinguished, the group headed into the cave.

The cave was clearly man-made. It was dark and there were corpses along the way that smelled extremely rotten. They were probably local villagers.

Further inside, Su Chen discovered a stone gate.

The stone gate has been opened, and there are many scratch marks on it.

Beyond the stone gate lies the main burial chamber, where a coffin sits in the center, surrounded by numerous treasures.

Someone must have discovered this place, opened the stone door, and taken the treasure.

But some people were too greedy and thought there were good things inside the coffin, so they opened it.

The giant rice dumpling absorbed human energy and thus turned into a zombie.

This tomb was relatively easy to find; most of the treasures had already been taken, but a few items were left inside the coffin.

Never leave a tomb empty-handed!

Su Chen took all the remaining treasure.

……

The next day, morning.

Su Chen went to the old farmer's house and asked him to go to Changsha City with him.

But the old farmer shook his head and refused to agree no matter what.

He was terrified that if he went to Changsha, he would never be able to return.

So Su Chen had no choice but to give up.

After returning to Changsha City, Su Chen sent Su Yitian to return the court beads to the old farmer.

Although he acted unethically, Su Chen was a businessman and still had to prioritize integrity.

The old farmer received the court beads and was overjoyed after Su Yitian left.

He happily took the prayer beads and went to the clan chief's house.

“Cousin, I’ve retrieved the court beads. Actually, that Boss Su wasn’t all that bad.”

The old farmer smiled and placed the prayer beads on the table.

The clan chief has connections; he plans to resell the court beads.

"Well... cousin, about this matter..."

The clan leader hesitated.

“Cousin, you were the one who persuaded me to get the court beads back. Don’t you want to help me sell them now?”

The old farmer said angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll help you think of a solution."

The clan chief took the old farmer to a wealthy family in town, intending to sell the court beads.

But the wealthy man was only willing to give five silver dollars.

Want more? Forget about it.

The old farmer's heart was bleeding, and he had no choice but to sell the court beads for five silver dollars.

The old farmer was originally supposed to receive fifty silver dollars, but in the end he only received this little money, which made him feel extremely resentful.

On the way back, he became more and more indignant.

Taking advantage of the chieftain's inattention, a stone was smashed on the chieftain's head, and blood splattered instantly.

Still not satisfied, he kept throwing stones at the old farmer until his brains were almost spilling out. Only then did the old farmer, panting heavily, stumble and sit down on the ground.

Only now does he realize that he has killed someone.

The old farmer realized this too late, and felt a chill in his heart.

Killing an outsider is fine, but killing the village chief is a much bigger problem.

After returning home, he packed his belongings and prepared to flee with his wife and children.

What should be done with those five silver dollars?

……

Changsha City.

Su Yitian returned to report, explaining that he had delivered the court beads to the old farmer.

Su Chen nodded.

Su Chen reaped what he sowed; he was ultimately a businessman after all.

Otherwise, in that situation, not only would they not return the court beads to him, but they would also take back all the silver dollars, leaving him with no benefits whatsoever.

"Brother Chen, when is Partridge Whistle and Red Girl's wedding?"

Su Yitian asked.

The people of Sujia Village are very concerned about this now.

This is the most exciting event in recent years, apart from Su Chen's wedding.

"It will be around this time; I've already chosen a date."

Su Chen smiled and said, "The clan members should contribute more when the time comes. Partridge Whistle is now a member of our Su Family Village. We can't be hostile to him just because he has a different surname."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, it won't happen. We've all witnessed Mr. Partridge Whistle's skills." Su Yitian nodded.

The people of Sujia Village are martial, and they will definitely respect anyone who is more powerful than them.

They had long considered Partridge Whistle as part of Su Family Village.
