Chapter 255: Qian Shizhong Once Fourth Brother finished his deployments, his men began moving to their respective tasks. They hauled their gear into the beds of the pickup trucks. He Yu and I stood up, preparing to follow, but as we passed Fourth Brother, he grabbed me by the collar and waved He Yu toward one of the trucks to take a seat. "How much do you know about your great-grandfather's affairs?" Fourth Brother hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me toward the lead pickup. That truck was…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 256: Following the Map Wu Yili pulled the two fragmented pieces of the Burial Bone Testament from his bag and held them out to Qian Shizhong. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he spoke before I could get a word in. "I must ask you to help us decipher this map, old gentleman. Where exactly in Northern Shaanxi is the location indicated on this human skin map?" Qian Shizhong closed his eyes and turned his head away. Leaning both hands on his cane, he showed no intention of…

- Chapter 257: Stepping into Pit-traps We passed through the center of a stone fissure that had split open beneath Yellow Wind Ravine. This crack had been open for a long time, and even now, there were still fissures beneath the ground we walked upon. If you lay flat on the ground, you could see a pitch-black chasm reaching deep into the mountain ridge. In the years to come, it was highly likely that these mountain cracks would continue to split further. Beyond Yellow Wind Ravine lay a stretch of…

- Chapter 258: The Bait I switched on my flashlight. The surroundings were composed of the same wavy rock layers as the area above, but these were clearly much older. The terrain had completely changed, forming a massive cluster of rock formations. Layers of stone from different eras were stacked atop one another, leaving only a narrow passage just wide enough for one person to pass through. I took a deep breath and turned to Tian Xiaoqi. "He Yu and those other guys fell down here too. No telling where…

- Chapter 247: The Bronze Coffin The moment the trigger was pulled, the gun suddenly blew up right next to my ear. That damn rifle actually exploded! The explosion instantly took out the guy who fired it. The gun must have been soaked through when it fell into the water earlier. This model wasn't waterproof. I thought it would be fine once it dried out, but clearly, I was wrong. When I was fighting the giant bats earlier, the gun had been knocked away before I could use it. It was a stroke of luck that…

- Chapter 248: The Trump Card Tian Xiao circled the area and returned, his expression grave as he spoke to me. "There is no Houtu Blood here. Could the legends be false?" Lu Ayao had guessed correctly; their true objective was indeed to find the legendary elixir of immortality. Our current position should have been the deepest part of the tomb. The stone coffin in the center of the Underworld Hall was undoubtedly the sarcophagus of the King of Gune. If the legends of the Houtu Blood were true, he…

- Chapter 249: Decoding Tian Xiao looked at me and said, "If my information is correct, you already have a certain understanding of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket." His sudden question instantly severed the faint connections forming in my mind. I didn't know where he had gotten his information, but I had to admit he was right. I had already sketched out the basic internal diagram of the casket. Opening it was simply a matter of arranging the beads inside correctly; I was just one final step away. He…

- Chapter 250: Flight I had Old Qian help me steady the two weak flashlights, then built a coordinate system in my mind based on the ring of projected starlight shadows. Using this system, I could pinpoint the horizontal and vertical positions of each star. After a quick look, I knelt on the ground, opened my tool kit, and pulled out a bent Cloud-Probing Needle. This needle was unique, with a small spring at the tip that allowed it to expand and contract automatically once inside the keyhole. I used…
