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

The surroundings were desolate and dark.

At this point, Chen Yulou had already lost track of the wild cat.

Just as he was searching carefully, he suddenly heard the meowing of a night owl behind him.

Chen Yulou slowed his pace and quietly followed.

After the rain, the dark clouds dispersed, and moonlight shone through the woods. Chen Yulou heard a rustling sound.

He stood behind a clump of wild grass, looking ahead.

Before them lay a mass grave, and the wild cat was being held captive by a raccoon spirit.

Immediately, the raccoon spirit disemboweled the night cat and actually ate it.

As for the woman's ear, it had fallen to the ground.

After the fox spirit left, Chen Yulou went forward and picked up the female corpse's ear.

Just as he was about to return to the meeting, he suddenly felt dizzy and unable to move.

Before long, Chen Yulou collapsed to the ground.

Forcing himself to stay alert, Chen Yulou pondered a solution, never expecting that he, the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, would fall here.

"Ta Tata..."

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind.

Chen Yulou saw a figure walking towards him unhurriedly.

With the help of the moonlight, Chen Yulou could see clearly that the figure was exactly the same as the female corpse he had seen in the mortuary.

As the female corpse drew closer, Chen Yulou panicked.

But he was completely unable to move at that moment, and could only watch helplessly as the female corpse walked up to him, squatted down, and greedily stared at the carotid artery in his neck.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, a noise came from not far away.

The female corpse hurriedly turned around and saw a figure leap to her side.

The man simply kicked the female corpse away.

The immense force shattered the female corpse's veins, and gradually, she transformed into a fox spirit.

The person who came was Su Chen.

He fed Chen Yulou an antidote pill.

"You must have inhaled the poisonous gas in the urine of the fox spirit. You'll be fine after taking the pill."

Su Chen offered an explanation.

Before long, Chen Yulou finally regained his mobility.

"Thank you, Mr. Su."

Chen Yulou expressed his gratitude.

He, the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, never expected to almost stumble today.

If it weren't for Su Chen, I probably would have died here today.

"We're all in the same industry, there's no need to be so polite."

Su Chen helped Chen Yulou up and returned to the mortuary.

Hong Guniang had just chased after him and searched everywhere but couldn't find Chen Yulou. She was just about to come back and gather the Xieling people to investigate when Chen Yulou returned unexpectedly.

"I owe my return this time to Mr. Su."

Chen Yulou bowed to Su Chen in thanks.

"Thank you Mr. Su!"

The Unloading Warriors, led by Red Girl, also bowed to Su Chen to express their gratitude.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind."

Su Chen waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not take it to heart.

"If you ever need my help in the future, Mr. Su, just say the word and I, Chen Yulou, will go through fire and water for you."

Su Chen may not care, but Chen Yulou cannot forget his debt of gratitude.

This is a life-saving grace!

"Haha, if Mr. Chen really wants to thank me, how about letting Miss Hong follow me from now on?"

Su Chen looked at the girl in red.

As the second-in-command of Changsheng Mountain, Hong Guniang's abilities are beyond question.

What Sujia Village lacks now is precisely capable people.

If Su Chen can recruit Hong Guniang, he will gain a great deal of assistance.

“Mr. Su, I’m afraid I can’t agree to that.” Chen Yulou shook his head. “Miss Hong is my brother, not my subordinate. I cannot decide her fate.”

"If there were other conditions, I would definitely agree."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "Then forget it."

Time was running out, so Su Chen went back to rest.

……

Aside from the fox spirit, nothing unusual happened tonight.

The next day, the weather was unusually fine.

Led by Chen Yulou, the group arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Ping Mountain is located deep in Lao Xiong Ridge, which is a towering mountain range with an altitude of thousands of feet, steep terrain, and shrouded in miasma all year round.

Legend has it that this place was once a sacred site for alchemy in various dynasties, thus accumulating the poisonous aura of elixirs.

Beside the cliff, Chen Yulou said to Commander Luo, "I would like to trouble you to fire a few shots at the precipice."

"it is good!"

Commander Luo raised his gun and aimed at the cliff.

"Bang bang bang..."

Several gunshots rang out, followed by echoes.

Chen Yulou closed his ears and listened intently.

At this time, the secret technique passed down through generations of the Unloading Ridge lineage—the method of identifying dragons by listening to the mountains—was used.

As the leader of the Unloading Ridge, Chen Yulou was exceptionally clever, skilled, and knowledgeable. He was born with night vision and was adept at "observation, smelling, questioning, and palpation," enabling him to observe mud traces, identify grass colors, and find hidden treasures.

Using the echoes from the gunshots, Chen Yulou began to assess the situation at the bottom of the cliff.

Before long, the outline of the underground palace of the ancient city at the bottom of the cliff gradually appeared in Chen Yulou's mind.

"What are your thoughts, Mr. Su and Mr. Partridge Whistle?"

Chen Yulou looked at Su Chen and Partridge Whistle.

“The dragon veins of Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun are prosperous, Jia, Geng, Bing, and Ren are the four births of the dragon, and Yi, Gui, Ding, and Xin are the crown and position. The incoming dragon and outgoing water form a pattern.” Su Chen said, “That ancient tomb is nearby.”

"The bottom of the cliff is probably not the right way to get in."

Su Chen gazed at the mountains, but the area was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern the correct direction.

It requires a sunny day or a bright moon and few stars.

Partridge Whistle did not speak. He was good at tomb raiding, but he was really lacking in feng shui skills.

"The road is right here. Whether it's the right path or not, we'll find out once we go down and take a look."

General Luo was too lazy to wait any longer.

The tomb is right below. With so many guns, what's there to be afraid of?

"Go down into the tomb!"

Commander Luo gave the order.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

Chen Yulou looked at the many Unloading Ridge Warriors behind him and said, "Let's move out and retrieve the Centipede Mountain Ladder!"

"Dumped!"

The group of Unloading Ridge Warriors shouted loudly.

They each took a special hoe from behind them, which resembled a pickaxe.

Each warrior carries one, which can be used for digging and also connected by its tail.

Each piece has snaps at the top and bottom, making it difficult to disconnect once connected.

When in use, these pickaxes can be connected and extended for hundreds of meters.

The centipede-shaped mountain ladder is a unique technique of the Unloading Ridge Clan, and in no time, several ladders lead directly to the bottom of the cliff.

Chen Yulou fastened the small divine peak to his waist, put on his inner armor, and walked ahead of the others to begin descending into the tomb.

Partridge Whistle and his companions used a sky-piercing shuttle, fixing one end to a large tree and descending along a rope.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner went down into the tomb, while Flower Spirit waited for them from above.

"Shouldn't we make a move?"

"Black-backed Old Six asked."

"No rush, let's find a place to lie down comfortably and rest for a while."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle's mission is destined to fail this time.

This is not the way in, and there are many dangers below.

They'll be back soon.

Instead of wasting time, it's better to wait up there, take a look at the feng shui of the area, and then decide on the best place to go in.
