Chapter 260: Near Death The air before me was thick with a yellow fog of swirling sand. I ran about a hundred meters into the haze, losing all sense of direction. I nearly slammed headfirst into a rock that materialized out of the mist, leaving me spinning in circles. Just as I came to a halt, I spotted an idiot standing nearby, clutching a rifle and squinting desperately through the yellow fog. I wasn't about to let such a gift go to waste. I picked up a stone the size of a brick, weighed it in my…-

Chapter 259: Yellow Sands Tian Xiaoqi and I were both people of action. It was mostly a case of newborn calves not fearing the tiger; once we set a goal, we moved immediately. This group was more extravagant than us, using several flashlights at once as they threaded through the stone crevices. These lights served an important purpose: even if we didn't follow closely, we could still determine their position and numbers. Since we were hidden in the darkness and they were unaware of our presence, this…

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 shifted entirely, transforming into 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 squeeze through. I took a deep breath and turned to Tian Xiaoqi. "He Yu and those other guys fell down here too. No…

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 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 parchment?" Qian Shizhong closed his eyes and turned his head away. Leaning both hands on his cane, he showed no intention of acknowledging…

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. "How much do you know about your great-grandfather's business?" Fourth Brother hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me toward the lead pickup. That truck was filled with the…

Chapter 254: The Cold Shoulder A whip cracked against the horse's flank, and Kuba's mount bolted forward instantly. I gripped the reins with one hand and swung the whip with the other, galloping across the vast expanse of the grasslands. Just as I surged ahead, I heard the locals behind us shouting and cheering. They were drinking mare's milk wine, laughing and hollering as they watched us go. The horse followed the trail left by Tian Xiaoqi for about a li. Once the campfires of the locals were no…

Chapter 253: Something Unexpected Feeling a lingering sense of worry, I went back to the tents to ask around. I learned that Chen Canghai and Kuba had reacted quickly when the earthquake struck; they hadn't fallen into the fissures. Once my Fourth Brother found them, he had them forcibly sent back. Following Tian Yuqing's instructions, I handed the entire Burial Bone Testament over to Fourth Brother. However, I kept the copper piece that had come out of it for myself. Tian Yuqing hadn't mentioned it,…
