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

Upon seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly took out the dragon's inner core.

The inner core of the dragon that Huang He killed last time has already been consumed by Su Chen.

This inner core was recently retrieved after slaying the dragon in the Coral Spiral Sea.

The oppressive feeling from the higher life forms caused the octopuses to flee in all directions.

Ruan Shan, surrounded by octopuses, was on the verge of death.

With Su Chen's help, Ruan Shan returned to the escape bunker.

Ruan Shan stared intently at Gu Chen and Ling Yu, then looked at Su Chen.

On his deathbed, he grasped Gu Chen's hand and said to Su Chen, "Boss Su, my two apprentices... I... I want to entrust them to you. Please take care of them!"

Ruan Shan had a lot to say.

His two apprentices, though in their twenties or thirties, have always grown up under Ruan Shan's protection.

They know too little about interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

Now that he's dead, he can no longer protect Gu Chen and Ling Yu!

Unfortunately, there's no time to say all this!

Ruan Shan collapsed on the lifeboat and completely lost consciousness.

A somber atmosphere permeated the escape pod. To be honest, after spending so much time together, Ruan Shan was a pretty good person.

But his departure was too sudden!

Su Chen looked at Gu Chen and Ling Yu, "I believe you two heard what your master said!"

“You’re not young anymore, you don’t necessarily have to obey your master’s words!”

"I'm giving you two choices: either you leave here and come with me!"

"Secondly, after we leave, you can have a share of the treasure, or I can give you some money, and you can choose to live your own lives!"

As Su Chen finished speaking, Gu Chen and Ling Yu exchanged a glance.

Gu Chen then said, "Boss Su, we'll listen to our master! But I have one condition: could you please give our master a proper burial?"

"Take him out for a proper burial? Impossible!" Su Chen shook his head. "There are too many dangers ahead. Carrying a corpse will not only be a burden to you, but also to us!"

"Then let's bury him here!" Gu Chen looked around and found that the place was all water.

Wanting to be buried is probably just wishful thinking.

Just as he was deep in thought, the surface of the water stirred again.

A whirlpool has appeared here, but it's not as big as the ones that appeared on the surface of the sea before.

The immense traction instantly caused both lifeboats to plummet.

Soon after, the group realized they had arrived at the actual seabed.

However, burying him here is still somewhat difficult.

"Actually, there's no need to worry about burial!" Su Chen looked around. "This is a feng shui treasure land!"

Su Chen's gaze fell on a clam shell.

The clam had been dead for a long time, but it was very large.

There's more than enough room to put Ruan Shan in there!

“Let’s bury him here!” Su Chen suggested.

"Everything is up to you!"

Gu Chen nodded.

He believed that Su Chen wouldn't lie to him about this.

"This is a sacred burial site, a place that countless feng shui masters dream of!" Su Chen said. "Your master is absolutely making a fortune by being buried here!"

Su Chen wasn't bragging.

The feng shui of this place is unparalleled in the world!

After opening the clam shell, Gu Chen and Ling Yu placed Ruan Shan's body inside.

Then he put the clam shell back on!

At this moment, Gu Chen and Ling Yu became members of Su Family Village.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting unofficial members Gu Chen and Ling Yu!"

"Clan level progress +40%!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your family has reached level 4. You are rewarded with a family treasure chest. Please check your account!"

The family level has finally reached level 4.

Su Chen couldn't help but open the system panel.

[Golden Mission: Lead your clan members to explore the Ruins of the South China Sea. Upon completion of the mission, you will be rewarded with a golden treasure chest.]

The system panel has changed again.

First, they were promoted to a level four family, with auspicious purple clouds rising from the east, signifying immeasurable nobility!

Today, the Su family is one of the most prominent families in Changsha City, and there are no more than twenty large cities like Changsha City in the country.

There are more prominent families in the capital and the Demon City, but even so, the Su family is definitely among the top 100!

Of course, Sujia Village has always disliked being ostentatious.

Therefore, most people are still unaware of the strength of Sujia Village.

In addition, there have been changes to the system family progress.

The family progress used to require 100 points to level up, but now it requires 200 points.

The difficulty will likely increase again when you reach level five.

Fortunately, the population of Sujia Village is growing, so achieving a level 5 family status shouldn't be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a little relieved.

As for the family treasure chest, let's wait until we go out to open it.

After completing the South China Sea Ruins quest, there is also a golden treasure chest.

We'll open both boxes together then!

What's going on here?

Yi Xiao was somewhat puzzled.

She spends most of her time in the Three Rivers Basin and finds herself rarely in contact with the sea.

This trip has certainly broadened my horizons.

Before them stood a gigantic black tree that stretched straight to the sky.

Hundreds of chains were also attached to the black trees!

This is clearly a man-made relic.

If I had known this was underwater, what kind of power would have such immense strength to build such a massive structure underwater?

That's simply unbelievable!

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and the others were all so surprised that their mouths were agape.
