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

"No wonder the statue was covered with a cloth. If a hunter who spends the night on the mountain saw this, he would be scared to death."

Su Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with that gaze.

This is because the craftsman who built the sculpture was so skilled that it gives people the illusion that the sculpture could come to life.

The Northeast is not as good as other places, and there are these kinds of unofficial shrines everywhere. Unless you are a very knowledgeable local, you would have no idea what is being worshipped.

Coincidentally, Su Chen came specifically for Huang Xiangu, and now that he saw this sculpture that looked almost like a weasel, he obviously had a guess.

"This should be Huang Xiangu. Based on what the village chief said during the day, Liu Dacheng and his daughter probably had their accident here."

"The traces here prove they hid here, but why did Huang Xiangu want them?"

Partridge Whistle nodded slightly upon hearing this.

These past few hours have not been in vain; they are now very close to Liu Dacheng.

He searched the area and found traces of a campfire, though they were covered by dust.

There were small paw prints near the dust, clearly made by a weasel.

After discovering this, Blackback Six clicked his tongue. This kind of scene is not something that can be seen all the time. There was a hint of regret in his tone.

"I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring the dog, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a passive situation."

"You want to see if your dog can catch the Yellow Fairy?"

Partridge Whistle was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

The methods of using natural enemies to control certain poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are also extensively recorded in the Mountain Moving Technique.

He himself possessed many such methods, and at this moment he did not mind using them.

As I said before, the environment here is too cold, so many methods simply cannot be used.

Su Chen discovered that there were no footprints in the temple, indicating that the powerful Huang Xiangu seemed to have made preparations in advance and even blocked Liu Dacheng's footprints.

But she was a beast after all. She thought she had done a clean job, but little did she know that she had left Su Chen with a clue.

He followed the traces of cleaning and found a hole behind the sculpture.

"I didn't expect this fairy to be so clever. She knew what we wanted to do and took the initiative to lead us the way."

Su Chen couldn't help but joke, mainly because he had encountered these guys, each one simple-minded than the last.

These cunning individuals always think they are superior to others, unaware that they are merely being self-righteous.

“I’ve heard from the village that there’s a legend about a ghostly government office in these mountains. It’s said that if you enter the ghostly government office, you might die. I don’t know if that’s true.”

Partridge Whistle looked at the guy and said somewhat seriously.

The legend of the Ghost Government Office has a long history. It tells of a temple in the mountains that resembles a government office. The temple is dilapidated, and anyone who sneaks inside will be taken by the Ghost King Yama.

They just fought with Huang Xiangu yesterday, and today they stumbled upon a clue. Could it be that Huang Xiangu left this behind to kill them? If that's the case...

Partridge Whistle stopped thinking about it after reaching this point. Clearly, a spirit with an intelligence comparable to an adult was much more dangerous than the blood zombies they had encountered.

"The child is silent, and the strange power confuses the spirit."

When Blackback Six heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Partridge Whistle to say such a thing, so he took the initiative to speak up.

They blocked Su Chen's way.

They went inside the cave first.

"I'll scout ahead."

"Let's go."

Su Chen followed behind the black-backed sixth brother and crept down.

The entire cave is about half a person's height, and people have to bend over to walk in.

Partridge Whistle walked at the back and spoke slowly.

"This looks like a tomb raider's hole? It might have been left by tomb raiders in the past."

"Liu Dacheng would never suddenly become a tomb raider. It must be because someone in the village had been a tomb raider before that he wanted to try it out."

Su Chen nodded slightly.

People generally have a herd mentality, so they feel guilty when they are the only ones doing something, unless someone else has already done it and benefited greatly from it, then they will feel ashamed.

Those who raid tombs are among the best in this field.

Most people would consider it taboo to dig up someone's ancestral graves, but if someone makes a lot of money by digging up someone's ancestral graves, reaching a level that makes people envious...

That would make other people lose control.

"I don't think Huang Xiangu would choose Liu Dacheng for no reason. Could it be because Liu Dacheng's ancestors were able to steal Huang Xiangu's things?"

After Su Chen brought up this idea, he subconsciously began to think about it. At first, he didn't feel this way, but as he continued to ponder it, he couldn't help but find that it seemed to be very close to the truth.

This began to make him suspect that this was the truth he had been speculating about.

At that moment, Black-backed Old Six suddenly stopped and threw something behind him.

It's a deerskin boot.

Su Chen took it, glanced at it, and then, without thinking much of it, tossed it directly to Partridge Whistle.

The latter was caught off guard and was hit in the face by a boot.

After spitting out several times, he finally turned his gaze to what was in front of him.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Judging from the size of the boots, they should belong to Liu Dacheng's daughter. We've really come to the right place."

“Weasels are skilled in illusions, so be careful, I suspect they’ve been bewitched.”

Su Chen didn't know much about Huang Xiangu. There were no signs of struggle in the tomb, making it seem more like she had been tricked into leaving.

Black-backed Old Six suddenly turned to the right along the tunnel before speaking.

"I see the exit. There seems to be some movement over there. Please wait for my message."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Partridge Whistle slowed down a bit. When they reached the turning point, they saw the exit of the tomb, where Black-backed Old Six was standing at the door without making any move.

Su Chen said something after seeing that scene.

"Sixth brother? Is something wrong?"

When he didn't hear a response, his heart skipped a beat.

This Huang Xiangu is so powerful that she could bewitch Black-backed Old Six?

Is this even possible?

When this question arose in Su Chen's mind, he didn't need anyone else to explain it to him; he already had some answers of his own.

Let's go over and take a look!

Su Chen steeled himself and stopped hesitating. As soon as he stepped out, he froze on the spot.

Partridge Whistle, who was following behind, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

There was something outside the tomb that made the two of them freeze in place. He walked out of the tomb with his eyes covered.

Suddenly, he heard a lively sound and quickly took off his blindfold.

A mansion adorned with large red lanterns came into view.
