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

Su Chen took a few breaths of fresh air, then focused his attention on the system notification.

Just now in the underground palace, the system prompted that the correct name of the jade turtle is Turtle Seal.

At the same time, a new feature has been launched: Clan Treasures!

He quickly opened the system panel in his mind and began to carefully study this new function.

The so-called clan treasures, as the name suggests, are treasures with spiritual power. As long as you choose to wear them, they can bring various blessings to the clan.

For example, the tortoise seal in his possession can increase the output of the clan's fields by 200% and has a chance to yield high-grade spiritual herbs.

"The clan does have three hundred acres of wasteland, which, based on the current yield per acre, should yield around two to three hundred catties. With the Tortoise Seal, the yield per acre can double! More importantly, there are also high-grade spiritual herbs!"

There are many rare and precious materials in the world of thieves. For example, the Crescent Moon Hotel once auctioned a Deer Life Grass that could bring people back to life.

Su Chen was in a great mood as he read the introduction to Gui Xi!

However, according to the system's introduction, the tortoise seal has side effects. If carried around for a long time, it will produce a special kind of radiation that will cause the owner of the tortoise seal to become like a fox.

Su Chen thought for a moment, then designated the Tortoise Seal as a clan-protecting treasure and put it into the system space.

With the barrier of the system space, there is no need to fear radiation.

Furthermore, based on the name of the tortoise seal, he also made some guesses about King Lu Shang's army.

During the Warring States period, King Shang of Lu's army was known for its strategy of attacking at night and hiding during the day, making them invincible.

Besides the Fox Camp, he also had a Ghost Camp under his command.

But the Ghost Camp is even more mysterious and unpredictable; no one has ever seen the real Ghost Camp.

Legend has it that King Lu Shang possessed a Ghost Seal, which allowed him to control ghost soldiers.

Now that we have the Tortoise Seal that can transform people into foxes, it wouldn't be surprising to have another Ghost Seal that can control Yin Soldiers.

Thinking of this, Su Chen suppressed his excitement and opened the system panel.

[Bronze Quest: Lead your clan members to excavate the Blood Corpse Tomb at Biaozi Ridge. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a bronze treasure chest!]

Su Chen was in a good mood, and the Wu family also felt good.

Although no great treasures were found in the underground palace, the bronze masks that Wu Laogou pried off could still fetch several hundred silver dollars.

Even if we turn back now, this trip won't be a loss.

Of course, if the sacrificial pits accompanying the burial were so magnificent, it goes without saying how good the main tomb must have been.

Therefore, no one said they wanted to go back; they were all determined to explore the tomb once.

The group rested by the stream for a while and ate some dry rations.

In the afternoon, the group set off again, heading deeper into Biaoziling.

The further you go, the denser the forest becomes, and you can hardly see any paths anymore, only animal trails made by wild animals!

With no road ahead, Wu Jizong had no choice but to clear a path.

The team's pace slowed down as a result, and by nightfall they had only crossed the mountain, still more than ten miles from their destination.

In the deep mountains and forests, traveling at night is the most taboo thing.

Old Wu then instructed his two grandsons to prepare for setting up camp.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Old Wu looked up at the mountains deep in Biaozi Ridge, smacked his lips, and said to Su Chen beside him, "There's still a long way to go. We probably won't get there until noon tomorrow."

"No rush, good things come to those who wait."

Su Chen knew that if he hadn't appeared, Wu Laogou's grandfather, father, and second brother...

They all perished in the Blood Corpse Tomb deep within Biaozi Ridge, and none of them even had a complete corpse.

This is enough to show that what's inside the Blood Corpse Tomb is not to be trifled with.

Su Chen didn't have high demands, nor did he want to dig out anything from the tomb; he just wanted to open the coffin and complete the mission.

In that case, the difficulty level is not so high.

Out of caution, he walked over to a large rock, sat down, took the two pistols from his waist, and carefully cleaned and maintained them.

Finally, all the bullets were removed from the gun.

The gleaming yellow bullets were lined up one by one on the stones.

Not far away, the Wu brothers, who were in charge of setting up the tent, looked on with envy.

These days, what boy doesn't like a gun?

Foreign guns were too expensive, costing tens or hundreds of dollars each, so even if they wanted them, they couldn't afford them.

Wu Laogou's second brother was alright; after all, he was older and more mature than Wu Laogou.

Seeing that his third brother was out of his depth and had set up the tent in disarray, he shook his head and said helplessly, "Alright, little brother, leave this to me."

"Hey, thanks, Second Brother."

As Wu Laogou spoke, he hurriedly ran over to Su Chen and stared at the two pistols, asking, "Brother Su, are these Mauser C96 pistols? My second uncle also has one, but he went to another place a few years ago and we haven't heard from him since."

In recent years, warlords have risen up in various regions, causing domestic turmoil and instability.

It's perfectly normal for one or two out-of-towners to die.

Su Chen could roughly guess that Wu Laogou's second uncle had most likely died far from home.

He changed the subject, smiling as he picked up the unloaded pistol and handed it to the other person.

"Try?"

Old Wu's eyes lit up. He quickly wiped his shirt on and then excitedly took the pistol.

However, after playing with it for a while, he noticed that Su Chen suddenly took out a small gourd from his pocket.

The gourd wasn't big, only about half the size of a palm.

Su Chen pulled out the wooden stopper of the gourd, and a strong smell of blood immediately wafted out.

He picked up the gleaming yellow bullet from the stone and carefully poured the blood from the gourd onto it.

Upon seeing this, Wu Laogou immediately looked puzzled and asked curiously.

"Brother Su, what are you doing?"

Not only Wu Laogou, but also Wu Laobatou saw Su Chen's actions.

He was stunned when he saw the blood dripping from the bullet, and exclaimed in surprise, "Young man, could this be black dog blood?"

"The old man has a good eye, that's right, it's black dog blood!"

"I know black dog blood can ward off evil spirits, but does it really work when smeared on bullets?"

Su Chen laughed and shook his head, saying, "It won't hurt to give it a try. What if it works? It'll give us an extra layer of protection when we go into tombs and encounter those invulnerable zombies."

Hearing this, Old Wu turned his head back to reality, gave a wry smile, and said, "You young people are really quick-witted, knowing how to combine Chinese and Western elements."

Over the years, the Wu family members have not been without guns when they went down to the tombs.

But if you encounter a tough zombie, bullets are not as useful as the swords in your hand.

Over time, they stopped carrying guns as much.

No one ever thought of smearing dog blood on bullets.

This move wasn't Su Chen's original creation; he learned it from a movie.

Whether it works well or not, it's better than doing nothing.
