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

Li Shuguo's figure was swallowed up by the golden swifts, and with his eyes closed, he felt nothing.

He felt countless furry things bumping into him, as if he were food for something. Surrounded by swifts, he could neither see nor hear anything.

He was truly caught in a dilemma, and his desperate cries were drowned out by the swifts.

Li Shuguo fell into despair. He remembered what Su Chen had said: just close your eyes and crawl out. So he simply stopped thinking about anything and struggled forward.

But before he could take two steps, the rope he had been clinging to suddenly snapped.

The whole thing gasped in surprise, thinking it was going to fall, but it was held up by the golden swifts that formed a bridge.

A single swift and a cyclone could not support a person's weight, but when the two combined, Li Shuguo felt as if he were standing on a bridge.

But when he saw what he was stepping on, he was so frightened that he didn't know which foot to step with. He fell to one side after being hit by the swift.

Just as he was about to fall off the Magpie Bridge, Su Chen rushed up and pulled him across quickly.

The moment Su Chen landed, a large number of swifts dispersed the airflow, and it would take another day or two for this unique magpie bridge to form again.

Li Shuguo took two deep breaths before he came to his senses, still shaken, and asked what had happened.

It turned out that after Su Chen saw the rope break, he rushed over without thinking and discovered that the thing could bear weight. He and the others rushed over in time and rescued Li Shuguo, who was about to fall.

After regaining his senses, Li Shuguo looked at Su Chen in front of him, then his gaze fell on Chen Yulou, and he cursed through gritted teeth.

"Don't think I don't know, Mr. Chen, you're the one who got me into trouble just now!"

Li Shuguo was inexperienced, but he wasn't stupid. So many people had crossed this rope before without incident, so why did this suddenly happen?

Of all the people in front of him, only Chen Yulou had a conflict with him. If it was a matter of choosing someone to harm him, this guy would definitely be the one to escape.

Thinking of all this, the anger in his eyes intensified, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill him.

He immediately pointed this out to see what choice Su Chen would make.

Chen Yulou, who had been unjustly blamed, cursed angrily.

"I'd harm you? You think too highly of yourself. If I needed to deal with you, would I need to resort to such despicable methods? Maybe it was broken by a swallow."

“Chen the Blind was with me at the time, so he didn’t have the opportunity to do such a thing. There must be another reason for this.”

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Su Chen quickly spoke up to explain.

For Li Shuguo, who had just survived, Su Chen's explanation was completely useless. He simply assumed that the group was a bunch of snakes and rats, and said irritably.

"Fine, fine, you eight have the nerve to bully me like this! I'm leaving now!"

As he spoke, he planned to use the hiking pole to hit the wall again and climb back up.

His words caught Su Chen's attention. His group consisted of Old Ma, the Corpse Carrier, Duo Ling, Gu Chen, Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and Black-backed Old Six, making a total of eight people including himself and Li Shuguo.

But now Li Shuguo says there are eight of them, which obviously doesn't include himself.

There must be some misunderstanding here.

He immediately turned his head and saw a scruffy mandrill with a mocking expression in the corner.

He was holding a stone, preparing to harm Duoling, when he realized he had been discovered and was about to smash it down.

Even faster than him was Partridge Whistle's gun; a single shot rang out, startling the mandrill into fleeing.

As a mandrill that lives in this area, it simply climbed up the cliff and left, leaving everyone helpless.

"It must have been that guy up ahead who did it!"

Partridge Whistle said through gritted teeth.

At the same time, Su Chen looked at Li Shuguo and began to explain.

"You saw the mandrill just now. It knew how to blend in with us, so it obviously did what happened when we weren't paying attention. It was a misunderstanding."

"Ah."

Li Shuguo realized he had been abrupt and bowed his head to apologize to Chen Yulou.

After seeing this, Chen Yulou nodded helplessly, which was considered an admission of this statement.

After resolving this matter, Su Chen and the others began searching for a way forward.

But upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was a dead end.

"There's no way out here, could it be a trap?"

Su Chen was secretly startled.

Logically speaking, the Guanshan Zhimi Fu was clearly reserved by Guanshan Tai for his descendants, who were intended to use it to open the tomb.

But who can be sure that this incantation is true? Originally, this was a game between tomb raiders and tomb owners, and they have clearly failed this time.

Su Chen made his decision quickly and immediately planned to go back.

Before anyone could make a move, they heard something fly out from the mountains.

Looking into the distance, I realized that they were actually swarms of golden locusts.

Chen Yulou said with some surprise after seeing the locusts.

"This is the Golden Armored Immortal. The shell on its head is probably harder than iron. If it's being attached at this speed, we'll probably be torn to pieces even if we don't die."

This thing should be food for swiftlets.

Behind the golden-armored immortal, a flock of golden swifts flew over.

Even without Su Chen's reminder, everyone knew they should try to avoid it.

But the canyon wasn't very big to begin with, and with the presence of the golden swifts, many of these golden-armored immortals squeezed in.

Only then did everyone realize the location of this deadly trap.

The platform was originally somewhat protruding, and if it were on the other side, it could have been pushed away, but now it seems that only one other option remains.

From the golden swift to the Shadowless Bridge and then to the golden-armored immortal, this was clearly a deadly move prepared by the tomb owner.

Given the ferocity of the Golden Armored Immortal, if it were to collide with a person, it would be no different from a drill.

Seeing this, Su Chen had no other choice but to have the others bring out the tents they used for resting and use them to block out the crowd.

The canvas tent was indeed quite large; it made a muffled sound when the Golden Armored Immortal was put on.

It fell like hailstones, making people cry out in pain.

Suddenly, a golden-armored fairy, seemingly driven to the brink of extinction, began tearing at the tent. Its sharp mandibles, like knives, pierced through, revealing half of its head.

Before it could even crawl in, its head was chopped off with a single stroke.

"This won't do, we'll all die if this continues!"

Li Shuguo spoke with some nervousness and worry.

Su Chen grabbed him as he tried to run away, pinned him down, and shouted.

"The biggest problem with this Golden Armored Immortal is that the impact during its rapid flight caused the tent to pop up. We can overcome its strength with softness, so there shouldn't be any problem!"
