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

Foreigners should start tracing the origins of the serpent while examining its body on the phone.

Inside a tent at the market.

A foreigner was receiving a telegram, and after a moment he translated its contents.

"Mr. Philip! Another clue has been found about that strange creature."

The telegraph operator hurriedly went to find the team leader, "The discovery site is in Henan Province, almost reaching Shandong Province."

"Last time it was discovered at the border of Henan and Shaanxi provinces, right?" Philip nodded. "It seems that the mysterious creature was killed by some mysterious force."

"Our detection direction is correct; that mysterious creature must have encountered danger here."

"Justin, dragons have always been legendary creatures in this land, but we have actually discovered dragons, which helps us to analyze the history of this mysterious and ancient land."

They had known about this mysterious country for many years.

However, they were too backward at that time, and the leader of this land was extremely powerful.

It wasn't until modern times, when their development surpassed that of the countries on this land, that they began to invade and explore this land.

The mystery surrounding this mysterious country has been gradually unveiled.

For most people, this mysterious country can be described as paradise; it is a backward country, and it is full of treasures.

“You’re right, Captain Philip. If we find this mysterious power, or even transform it into our own strength, then we will be able to move freely across this land.”

“I’ve heard that there are several restricted areas on this land, such as the Kunlun Mountains and mysterious frontiers… but we can move freely there.”

"..."

Once Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle arrived at the market, they began to subtly investigate the purpose of these foreigners.

However, those foreigners didn't understand the local dialect very well. Although they hired a translator, the translator didn't understand the local dialect either, making communication difficult.

Chen Yulou simply took a rag, placed it on the ground, and wrote a line of words on it: "Blind fortune teller."

Then, Chen Yulou put on a pair of sunglasses and pretended to be a fortune teller.

Partridge Whistle sat not far away, waiting for Chen Yulou's result.

Sure enough, a moment later Philip and his translator returned to the market.

The translator was from Henan and knew that these foreigners loved this kind of mystical stuff, so he led the foreigners to Chen Yulou's fortune-telling stall.

He mumbled a bunch of gibberish at the foreigner.

Chen Yulou didn't understand either, he only knew that these foreigners were very generous and casually threw down a piece of paper.

Then, the foreigner sidled up to the translator and mumbled a few words.

These days, most translators have studied abroad and know a bit of foreign languages.

"Sir, Mr. Philip wants to have his fortune told by you."

"Let's just say it's luck."

The translator said.

“Just cover it up, say any word.” Chen Yulou said with practiced ease.

"Then let's use the character 'big'?"

The translator said.

"Yes, the character '大' is composed of '人' (person) plus a horizontal stroke. First of all, it refers to this part of the body, which is in the upper middle part of the body. This indicates that you gentlemen are not ordinary people."

"If not a top-tier figure, then at least someone with power and influence."

"As for fortune, the word 'big' implies comparison. If something is bigger than another, your fortunes will certainly be much better than those of ordinary people."

"I'm sure this trip here will be smooth sailing and without any obstacles."

Chen Yulou spoke slowly.

"Then Mr. Philip would like to ask you, is it possible to find something he wants to track down, or if so, how should he go to find it?"

The translator continued.

"Well, since it is what you gentlemen want to pursue, then it is certainly possible to find it."

"As for the direction to search, it lies in the East!"

Chen Yulou casually suggested a direction.

Then he added a few more clichés.

Such words may seem helpful, but they actually provide no clues whatsoever.

After listening, the translator repeated it to these foreign devils.

The foreigners nodded and rattled off a whole bunch of things.

Finally, the group left.

Chen Yulou was about to pack up and leave when he noticed the translator walking towards him.

Chen Yulou continued to pretend to be a blind fortune teller.

"That piece of paper those foreign devils gave you earlier is quite useful," the translator said. "How about I trade two silver dollars for it?"

"I absolutely won't let you suffer any losses!"

Chen Yulou didn't know if the other party was testing him or genuinely wanted to switch.

"At least five silver dollars!" Chen Yulou said.

"no problem!"

The translator readily agreed.

"I've changed my mind; I need ten silver dollars now."

"Are you blind? Are you obsessed with money? It's only ten silver dollars. If you raise the price again, I won't take it."

The translator said fiercely.

After successfully exchanging banknotes and silver dollars, the translator left dejectedly.

Chen Yulou breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that the paper money was quite valuable.

After the translator had walked away, Chen Yulou began to pack up his stall.

……

"Mr. Chen's portrayal of a blind fortune teller was quite accurate."

Partridge Whistle smiled.

"I have to say, I did have a feeling just now, as if I was born to do this job."

Chen Yulou said, "These foreign devils came for that serpent, and they'll probably get bogged down in this matter."

"I think we'd better leave this place as soon as possible."

"Let's go check out these foreign devils' equipment first," Partridge Whistle mused. "Let's see how much stuff they brought."

The two hit it off immediately and went to find out the tents where the foreigners were stationed.

On the Loess Plateau, beside the Yellow River, lies a small, nestled mountain village.

In early winter, Su Chen moved a chair and sat in a sunny spot to bask in the sun.

His energy has mostly recovered.

After obtaining information about the foreigners, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle returned to this place.

"Chief Su, those foreign devils are probably coming for us."

"They are fully equipped, even with machine guns and grenades!"

"There were eighteen people in total. The leader was called Philip. In addition, they hired a few local farmers to help them carry supplies!"

"These foreign devils are really rich!"

Even Chen Yulou thought it was a bit of an exaggeration.

At this time, the gates of Kyushu were wide open, and outsiders could come and go as they pleased.

Moreover, their status was not ordinary; they were superior to others.

Warlords in various regions sought the support of the forces behind these foreign devils, which allowed them to move freely throughout Kyushu.

"Find a way to take care of them, but do it discreetly, so that no one thinks it was us who did it!"

Su Chen gave the instructions.

If one or two foreign devils went missing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if so many foreign devils went missing at the same time, it would probably make the headlines in all the major newspapers in an instant.
