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

dead?

The group looked at each other, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Su Chen shielded Su Ling'er behind him and glanced into the room.

The stilted house had been uninhabited for more than half a year, and dust was floating everywhere.

Light shone through the gaps in the wooden planks into the room.

You can vaguely see a middle-aged man lying on the floor not far away.

He was around thirty years old, wearing a gray robe, and his hair was a messy, tangled mess.

He lay on the ground, his face ashen, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

Su Chen noticed that the man had a long knife next to him, the style of which was the Guanshan knife commonly seen in the Central Plains region!

The so-called Guanshan knife comes from Guanshan Town, Lintong.

It is similar in shape to the goose feather knife, but thinner and with a straighter blade.

Su Renzhao also went upstairs. After observing for a while, he exclaimed in surprise, "The person is not dead, still breathing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly went inside.

"Xiao Chen, what should we do?"

Su Chen looked at the unconscious man and observed him carefully for a while, and found that there were no particularly obvious injuries on the man's body.

However, his cheeks were extremely thin and his face was pale, clearly indicating that the fainting was caused by long-term malnutrition.

Seeing this, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just fainted from hunger."

At this moment, Su Renxiu suddenly pointed to the knife in the middle-aged man's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "This is a Guanshan knife, and he is a Guanshan swordsman!"

Guanshan Town is famous not only for its knives, but also for its knife-wielding swordsmen.

In Tongguan, where the yellow sand swirls everywhere, these swordsmen either work as bandits or serve the government, and each of them possesses unique skills!

only……

Guanshan Swordsman?

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the most famous Guanshan swordsman in Changsha City was Black-backed Old Six.

Unlike the Wu and Huo families, Black-backed Sixth Brother was an outsider who killed the original Nine Gates Admiral and rose to become the new head of the Nine Gates.

"As far as I can remember, Black-backed Sixth Brother offended the Small Knife Society near his hometown in the early years of the Republic of China, which is why he ended up in Changsha City!"

The origins of the black-backed Lao Liu are mysterious, and his whereabouts are even more so.

Unlike the other nine families, which often have dozens or even hundreds of members.

Blackback Lao Liu was alone from beginning to end.

One man could form an army, and he killed so many that no one in Changsha City dared to mess with him!

In terms of pure strength, Blackback Six could actually rank among the top three of the Nine Gates.

However, he was always alone and weak, so he could only be ranked sixth.

Thinking of this, Su Chen pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "Ling'er, bring me a piece of cake!"

"But……"

In years of famine, the preciousness of food goes without saying.

This grain is not enough even for the Su family themselves, so Su Ling'er naturally doesn't want to give it away to outsiders for nothing.

"Go quickly..."

Seeing Su Chen urging her, Su Ling'er shut her mouth and could only take out a piece of steamed bread mixed with sawdust from her bundle.

By now, the steamed buns had cooled completely and become hard as a rock.

Su Chen took the pancake and placed it under the man's nose.

And you know what? This method is extremely effective.

The man woke up just as the aroma of the steamed buns wafted out.

Upon seeing the steamed bun in front of him, he grabbed it without saying a word and began to wolf it down!

The steamed bun, which was as hard as a rock, crunched crisply in his mouth.

at the same time.

Su Chen suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have come into contact with the story character Blackback Sixth Brother. Your clan level progress bar has increased by 8%!]

It really is the sixth black-backed dog!

Su Chen was suddenly stunned and hurriedly opened the system panel.

Sure enough, the progress bar, which was originally at 32%, had increased somewhat.

Thinking of this, Su Chen quickly asked silently in his mind, "System, is there any other way to increase the progress bar?"

[The progress bar increases as the host's family produces offspring, recruits unofficial members, and interacts with story characters!]

[A treasure chest will be awarded for each level the clan gains, and the chest's level increases with the clan's level!]

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up.

Having offspring takes time; it's not something that can be done overnight.

However, recruiting non-family members and getting in touch with characters from the storyline could be put on the agenda.

If I could get to know more people from the Nine Gates with names and identities, the progress bar should reach 100% very quickly!

Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes burned as he looked at the black-backed Lao Liu, who had licked the last crumbs clean.

"Ling'er, get him another pancake!"

Although Su Ling'er was unwilling, she dared not disobey Su Chen's orders.

So he took out a steamed bun from the bundle.

After taking it, the sixth black-backed man still wolfed it down.

It was as if he were holding not some unpalatable flatbread, but some kind of delicacy!

After Black-backed Old Six finished eating his second piece of bread, he looked up at Su Chen and the others and said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

Su Ling'er pouted and muttered, "Such precious food, and all you're doing is saying thank you?"

"Alright, Ling'er, say less."

Su Chen glared at Su Ling'er, but then saw that Black-backed Old Six, who had been silent, suddenly gripped the Guanshan knife, turned over and stood up.

This scene immediately changed the expressions of Su Renzhao and the others.

"What do you want to do?"

Su Renxiu's expression changed, and he quickly took the bow and arrow from behind him, drew the bow, and aimed at the opponent.

Black-backed Old Six looked up at Su Chen and said earnestly, "I just came to the south from Tongguan and I'm penniless! If you need someone to kill, I'll kill them for you, consider it money for buying pancakes!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

He knew that he made the right bet!

The title of "Nine Gates Admiral" sounds prestigious, but in reality, they were all ruthless people who had lived on the edge of a knife in the old society. There were no good people among them!

but!

Among this group, Black-backed Lao Liu was not considered a good person, but he was extremely principled.

If it were Chen Pi Asi or anyone else from the Nine Gates today, Su Chen really wouldn't dare to save them.

Who knows if the person they saved is an ingrate!

The others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Black-backed Old Six said.

The name of Guanshan Daoke is widely known.

Even with a bow and arrows in hand, Su Renxiu couldn't guarantee that he could defeat his opponent.

Su Chen shook his head and chuckled, "I saved you, not so you could help me kill people!"

"Are you still hungry? Do you want some pancakes?"

Black-backed Old Six shook his head. He was naturally not full, because he had been starving for ten days.

During those eight days, he didn't receive a single order in the city and could only drink water to stave off hunger.

Even the toughest man can't withstand such hunger.

So he wondered if he could go into the mountains and hunt some game.

Who knew that he would faint before even entering Lishan?

Although he wasn't full, Blackback Six was too embarrassed to eat any more of Su Chen's and the others' food.

Seeing that Black-backed Old Six was silent again, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He still lacked the aura of a king; otherwise, according to the script, the other party should have bowed down immediately...

Su Chen sighed inwardly, then thought for a moment before saying, "There's not much to eat here. If we stay any longer, we'll probably starve to death."

"How about this, if you don't come to our Su Family Village, even if it's just a temporary stay, you can help out with whatever you can. At least you'll have something to eat. Once you find somewhere else to go, I won't stop you..."

Black-backed Old Six frowned slightly upon hearing the sound!

He came to Changsha for two reasons: first, to escape being hunted down, and second, to see if he could make a name for himself in Changsha and not let down the swordsmanship he had practiced for more than 20 years.

But even a hero can be brought down by a single penny!

Seeing that he couldn't even get enough to eat, Blackback Six finally lost some of his arrogance.

He nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Okay!"

Just as Blackback Six agreed, Su Chen heard the system notification ring in his mind again.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully recruited Blackback Sixth Brother, an unofficial member of your clan! Clan level progress bar +8%!]

Upon hearing this suggestion, Su Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile.

I only spent two pancakes, but I added 16% to the progress bar and also got an unparalleled powerhouse.

This deal couldn't be more worthwhile.

Su Renxiu's archery skills were not particularly good, just average.

Relying on just a few of them to raid tombs would be very risky, but with Blackback Lao Liu joining the team, things are different!

This is equivalent to a newbie player in the starting village suddenly finding an 80-level gold weapon—it can only be described in one word: awesome!
