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

At this moment, Su Chen's clothes were stained red with blood.

After checking Su Chen's condition, Hong Guniang breathed a sigh of relief, "There's nothing seriously wrong, he has no wounds."

"He's most likely exhausted!"

The young woman looked around, then took out a silver dollar from her bosom and handed it to the boatman's sister, saying, "Please go and buy some chickens, beef, and pork tomorrow morning."

Hong Guniang plans to give Su Chen a good nourishing meal tomorrow morning.

……

That night, Su Yitian and Su Yihu quietly stayed by Su Chen's side.

Partridge Whistle and the others went to sleep first.

In another cave dwelling, the boatman was intently recounting the events that had occurred to his sister's family.

"In the blink of an eye, when the monster was only a few hundred meters away from us, Mr. Su jumped off the sheepskin raft!"

"Then, a tremendous force pushed the sheepskin raft from the center of the river to the bank."

"Then Mr. Su disappeared!"

"We climbed up the hillside and could clearly see blood gushing from the river. For a long time, the river was covered with blood!"

"I also vaguely saw a figure fighting a monster in the turbulent river amidst lightning and thunder!"

"..."

The boatman recounted the events to his sister and her family in a mix of truth and fiction.

The younger sister's husband was stunned for a moment, still somewhat unwilling to believe it, "This is too far-fetched!"

"According to your explanation, brother-in-law, that monster was actually a serpent. This time it was a serpent that was moving, and when it reached the sea, it turned into a dragon."

How could a human possibly be a match for a dragon?

The boatman chuckled twice, "I don't know either, but I definitely saw Mr. Su go into the water!"

"And then Mr. Su didn't return until midnight!"

"It's better to believe it than not. These people are all capable, so we shouldn't offend them easily!"

On this point, the boatman's sister and her family all nodded in agreement.

Regardless of anything else, just for the money they gave us, we can't treat them unfairly.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the boatman's sister got up and went to the nearby market to buy a rooster.

I also need to buy a few pounds of beef and pork.

If there are eggs, I'll grab a few more pounds while I'm at it.

However, to the boatman's surprise, some blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners appeared at the market.

There are quite a few foreigners.

I've heard before that, besides people like us, there are foreigners with blond or golden hair in the world.

There are even rumors that these foreigners drink human blood, eat human flesh, and commit all sorts of evil deeds.

But seeing these foreigners for the first time, the boatman's sister felt that the rumors were still somewhat outrageous.

There's nothing special about it; it's just like everyone else, with two ears, a nose, and a mouth.

The boatman's sister didn't dare to stare for long, just glanced at him a few times, bought the rooster, pork, and beef, and then left.

She hadn't even spent all of the silver dollar; she wrapped the remaining money in a cloth and kept it close to her body, afraid of losing it.

Back home, the boatman's sister excitedly told everyone, "It's strange lately, there are so many foreigners at the market!"

"You know what, these foreigners are a bit different from us!"

"I just don't know what these foreign devils are doing in our poor, remote place!"

Foreigners are already quite common in big cities like Beijing.

But such small mountain villages on the Loess Plateau are still quite rare.

The woman's words alerted Chen Yulou. "How many people are there in total?"

"It looks like there are a dozen or twenty of them."

The woman said, "I didn't count them exactly, but there were definitely a lot of people."

"Okay, I got it. You can start making the chicken soup now."

Chen Yulou nodded, then quickly returned to his room.

……

At this moment, Su Chen had already woken up.

Yesterday's battle with the serpent had exhausted Su Chen's energy.

After a fierce battle that lasted for over a hundred kilometers in the Yellow River, Su Chen finally managed to kill the serpent.

Su Chen was exhausted and had to return from the water.

Although Su Chen was already the God of Water Demons, his body couldn't take it anymore after swimming in the water for so long.

Finally, I stumbled ashore and followed the markers to this spot.

After a good night's sleep, I finally felt a bit more refreshed.

But he didn't feel hungry at all; on the contrary, his stomach felt very full.

“This is what happens when you haven’t eaten for a long time; you lose the feeling of hunger,” Hong Guniang explained. “At first, you might not even feel like eating, but once you start eating, after a few bites, the feeling of hunger will become stronger and stronger.”

Hong Guniang prepared a bowl of millet porridge and asked Su Chen to drink it first.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Su Chen was indeed getting hungrier, but Hong Guniang told him to wait a little longer and have some chicken soup later.

"Clan Chief Su!"

Chen Yulou strode in, "Something's up!"

"Someone spotted foreigners at a nearby market, and there were quite a few of them."

At this critical juncture, the appearance of these foreigners here made Chen Yulou feel that something was amiss.

"Could it be that they came because of that serpent from yesterday?"

Su Chen pondered, "President Chen, could you please go to the market and inquire about the purpose of those foreigners?"

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Chen Yulou nodded.

Su Chen felt at ease leaving this matter to him.

Su Yitian and Su Hu are not as thorough in handling matters as Chen Yulou.

“Let Partridge Whistle and Chief Su go together,” said Red Girl. “The two of them can look out for each other.”

Most of those foreigners had ulterior motives.

Hong Guniang was unwilling for Chen Yulou to put himself in danger.

"Partridge Whistle, you and the chief go together."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

"Okay, let's go now."

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle left the courtyard together.

……

Before long, the chicken soup was ready.

Su Chen sat on the bed, drank three large bowls of chicken soup and ate some chicken, and finally regained a lot of his energy.

I finally have the strength again!

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Su Chen took out an inner core from the system space.

This inner core belonged to that serpent, and it felt to have at least five or six hundred years of cultivation.

Su Chen did not consume the inner core, but stored it away first.

Yesterday's fierce battle with that serpent was extremely dangerous, and even Su Chen dared not be careless in the slightest.

Fortunately, water was suitable for Su Chen to fight, and with the enhancement of the Six Arts of the Water Demon, Su Chen's strength reached a new level.

Otherwise, if they were on land, Su Chen wouldn't have had so many tricks up his sleeve.

The serpent was eventually broken into seven or eight pieces, and part of its body was probably washed ashore by the Yellow River, attracting the attention of those foreigners.

In addition, there was quite a commotion on the Yellow River yesterday, with torrential rain, lightning and thunder, and bloody water flowing continuously down the river, creating a spectacular sight.
