Chapter 163 Tentacles Reappear
Chapter 163 Tentacles Reappear
"So, does that mean Mr. Li knows there are some valuable items in this tomb?"
Uncle Tai neither said he believed it nor he didn't. He had cooperated with Boss Li more than once or twice, and although he always came back with a lot of money, this time... he just felt that something was not right.
Boss Li knew that these desperate men were difficult to deal with, and if his explanations were even slightly far-fetched or he revealed any flaws, his life would be in danger.
"I have no idea what's in this tomb. It's just that the He Tomb Collection says that as long as you find this tomb in the Qinling Mountains, you can have whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, everyone had different thoughts. Yan Chen sensed the strangeness of the surrounding environment, and at the same time, he recalled an event from over 1,600 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. At that time, the Yan family had been hiding deep in the Qinling Mountains, and they had even seen that "Silent Cavalry" before...
"This tomb sounds good, but how do we get there from here?"
Taishu was just testing the waters. If this Boss Li really had the so-called He Mu Ji, then we would still have to rely on him for the future. However, let's talk about whether he can survive first!
"The way forward... is not detailed in the He Mu Ji, but it mentions a hot spring. If you find an iron chain near the hot spring and follow the chain, you will find the tomb."
"An iron chain?" Boss Wang chimed in. "Gentlemen, I'm not trying to discourage you, but what this hot fountain represents is obvious. Besides, are you sure you can find an iron chain in this deep forest? It's a miracle it hasn't rusted."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Now that we've found the hot spring, it means the record in He Mu Ji was correct. As long as we find the clue to that iron chain, entering the tomb is only a matter of time. If we really can't find it, I'm sure with your experience and skills, you all have a foolproof plan."
Boss Li's flattery was endless, and Wu Xie, listening from the side, was so disgusted that he scratched his toes on the ground. He subconsciously looked at Yan Chen and Lao Yang standing to the side, twisted his waist, and rubbed his buttocks on the ground a couple of times.
"Judging from the sound and volume of this waterfall, even if we get close, we'll probably be blocked by a large area of hot springs and hot spring water. Xiao Huai, if we really want to find the iron chain they mentioned, do we have to go deep into the center of the hot spring waterfall?"
Hearing Wu Xie's carefully lowered voice, Yan Chen suddenly revealed a strange smile. He bent down and leaned closer to Wu Xie, his eyes gradually becoming eerie.
"I guess you don't need to look for it yourselves."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Wu Xie wasn't frightened by Yan Chen's handsome face. He just had a bad feeling, a feeling that made his hair stand on end, and he instinctively turned his head behind him.
"Dig the grass!!!"
"careful!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, each covering the other, but Wu Xie's shout still had a slight edge.
Seeing a crimson tentacle leap out from behind a tree, heading straight for Wu Xie's heart, Yan Chen swiftly drew his Branding Blade and positioned himself in front of Wu Xie...
"We...are we just going to watch like this?"
His tone was worried, his posture was that of an observer, his lips were slightly upturned, but his feet remained motionless—this was Black Glasses.
Unlike the disarray in Wu Xie's group, Yan Huai's group seemed to be on a leisurely outing. Even Zhang Qiling, who was always meddling in other people's business, stood calmly to Yan Huai's right, though his gaze became somewhat profound when he saw those familiar tentacles.
"My brother can handle it."
Yan Huai sensed their presence even before the tentacles had clung to the banyan tree.
These tentacles are very similar to those that appeared in Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness. The only difference is that the blood inside these tentacles contains the bloodline aura of the Wang family, making it seem as if these tentacles have been fed.
"Watch out for Boss Wang and Master Liang. Don't help them. Wait for me to come back."
After Yan Huai finished speaking, he reached out and left a protective spell on each of the three people, but before turning to leave, his gaze lingered on Zhang Qiling for a while longer.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't worry! With Master Hei here, I guarantee that mute won't be able to move an inch. I'll show you everything clearly!"
Although this is a bit of an exaggeration, it really resonates with Yan Huai. After all, Zhang Qiling has caused quite a bit of trouble!
So Yan Huai patted the man in black glasses on the shoulder and gave him an affirming look—good brother!
Zhang Qiling and Xie Lianrui: "......" You two are practically double-armed!
