Chapter 237: The Earth Trembles Since Liu Wan had issued her guest expulsion order, I had no choice but to wander out of her tent. It was getting late, but I didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. Figuring that going back now would only disturb Old Qian and the others' rest, I took a stroll over to Fourth Brother's tent. He had already turned in, but he was clearly sleeping fitfully. I lingered outside for a moment, swiped a wind lantern hanging from some random tent, and slowly meandered away to find a…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 238: The Hexagram I never imagined that encountering people in such a cramped environment could be so terrifying. I pressed my back against the stone wall and held my breath, silently praying to Namo Amitabha Buddha, God, and every deity above, begging them not to let that group take an interest in my direction. I stood there for I don't know how long until the light behind me gradually faded. Only then did I cautiously peek out. The shadows of the group were gone; they had likely headed deeper…

- Chapter 226: A Detailed Discussion I took a sip from my tea bowl, feeling that Lu Ayao's deductions must have a basis in logic. "So, if the Nine-Ring Jade Casket can lead to the Tomb of King Gune in Inner Mongolia, and Fourth Brother's ultimate goal is the Houtu Blood, then could there be a connection between this casket and the legendary Kingdom of Corpses?" "There should be, but for now, I don't have any concrete leads," Lu Ayao replied calmly. My mood brightened instantly. If we could piece…

- Chapter 227: The Bolting Horse Seeing how persistent we were, Zhurige finally relented and gave us the approximate location of the Crying Forest. However, she was far too elderly to ride a horse herself, so she could only call Kuba over to act as our guide and lead the way. Before setting off, looking at the horses swatting flies with their tails, I realized a massive problem: I had never ridden a horse in my life and had no idea how to ride. Qian Deli faced pretty much the same issue, so he chose a…

- Chapter 228: Fourth Brother's Camp I only hesitated for a second before rolling out of my sleeping bag. My mind raced as I quickly grabbed the jacket by my pillow and pulled it on. Where had everyone gone? Out to relieve themselves? I reconsidered and immediately dismissed the thought. There was no damn reason for three men to go out together for that. What, one guy gets woken up by a full bladder and has to drag two others along so they can all pee in unison while discussing the meaning of…

- Chapter 229: Disappearance I lay flat, carefully scrutinizing the faces of those coming and going. I discovered that every single one of them was a familiar face, and the scale was even larger than the operation in Gansu. The sheer number of people involved made me feel as if I had been transported back to the Republican era. It was said that when Ye Yuzhu led his men to excavate tombs for treasure back then, it was on a similar scale. He Yu nudged me with his elbow. "Do you think we should take the…

- Chapter 230: The Breeding Ground We reassessed the situation and confirmed that the tracks, which looked exactly like snake trails, did indeed lead into the depths of the Crying Forest. The three of us squatted on the ground, staring at the marks and then at each other in silence. "This is a massive problem," He Yu murmured. "We've truly failed before the campaign even began." I glared at him before he could finish. Shifting the subject, I began to analyze. "Looking at these tracks, something must…

- Chapter 231: Original Intent "A breeding ground? So you're saying these things are multiplying inside Brother Kuba's stomach? Then wouldn't Old Qian also be..." He Yu looked at me with an indescribable expression. Chen Canghai seemed to have undergone some military training abroad and possessed some knowledge of emergency medical care. I made room for him, and he immediately knelt on one knee, gently pressing his hand against Kuba's abdomen. After feeling around for a moment, he looked up at me. I…
