…
Watching his realm advance once more, becoming the legendary Martial World Myth!
Han Li raised an eyebrow, surprised yet unsurprised!
Han Tianzun wasn’t an ordinary person to begin with!
A Dao Ancestor!
His might was equal to Heaven, achieving eternal life!
Even if it was only two inheritances, with only 0.3% progress…
It still transcended the realm of mortals!
Han Li even pondered.
If that robber encountered him now, perhaps…
It wouldn’t be just a simple fall!
Whether he would survive was a question!
“Little Han!”
At this moment, Professor Chen’s call pulled him back to reality.
“Come, Little Han!”
Professor Chen beckoned him inside.
“This is Little Hu, our archaeological team’s leader from now on, he’s a former soldier and also knows Feng Shui and celestial astrology.”
Professor Chen had just introduced Old Hu to Han Li.
Wang Fatty, being the jovial type, laughed heartily, strode forward, and grasped Han Li’s hand, saying with a smile:
“Brother, just call me Wang Fatty, haha!”
Wang Fatty’s enthusiasm surprised everyone, and Han Li was also taken aback…
Although Wang Fatty was indeed a carefree and sociable person, he shouldn’t be this enthusiastic?
Old Hu, the only one who understood Wang Fatty’s enthusiasm, shook his head silently…
In his eyes, Han Li was meeting them for the first time.
But the two of them had already witnessed Han Li’s heroic deeds.
“Mr. Wang is here with Mr. Hu, what skills do you possess?”
“Mr. Hu has already demonstrated his ability to reach the Tomb of the Ancient City of Jingjue, what about you?”
At this moment, Hao Aiguo adjusted his glasses with a gloomy expression.
He just didn’t like this ‘connected’ person.
Seeing Wang Fatty being so enthusiastic towards Han Li, he naturally felt a sense of resentment.
“Hey, what do you mean?”
Wang Fatty was instantly displeased, his eyes widened: “I don’t like the sound of that.”
Hao Aiguo coldly snorted: “This trip to the desert is of great importance, our team doesn’t need anyone who lacks ability.”
He then intentionally glanced at Han Li.
“The desert is dangerous, my friend is good with firearms.”
Old Hu spoke.
Although he was speaking for Wang Fatty, he wasn’t lying…
Fatty was indeed good with guns, his father had given him a gun to play with when he was barely able to walk, so Fatty had some knowledge of firearms!
““The desert is nothing, Fatty Wang I personally killed a bandit leader with my own hands, and even went to Northwest China to fight bandits, this jade is a trophy.”
He then pulled out a jade pendant from around his neck.
This jade instantly caught Professor Chen’s attention, “May I see this jade?”
“Take it, just don’t break it.” Fatty readily took it off and handed it over.
Professor Chen held it with both hands, his eyes scrutinizing…
Han Li, who had been pulled over for introductions and was standing aside, couldn’t help but look over…
A sense of familiarity made him instantly recall, this was a pair of heirloom jade pendants, obtained from the tomb of a Jin dynasty general named Guo Ha Ma.
During the defense of the city, he used a strong bow to shoot over two hundred Mongol soldiers, he was incredibly brave, and eventually died in battle, he was quite a figure!
Legend has it that the Jin emperor used 100,000 taels of gold to exchange his body from the Mongols.
The inscription on the jade was in Ghost Cave script, left behind by the extinct Ghost Cave tribe of the Western Regions.
But this tribe had no descendants, so it couldn’t be deciphered at present, further verification was needed.
Moreover, this jade was a key artifact for entering the Tomb of the Ancient City of Jingjue!
Suddenly!
As Professor Chen held the jade, in Han Li’s vision, a tall general’s shadow suddenly emerged!
【You have observed the Ghost Cave jade pendant, recalling the strength of General Guo, you have comprehended the inheritance: Curved Soul Corpse Refinement Technique!】
Corpse Refinement Technique!
Curved Soul!
Han Li’s eyebrows raised, feeling the Corpse Refinement Technique in his mind.
At the same time, he remembered Han Tianzun’s childhood friend, transformed into a corpse puppet called Curved Soul!
Possessing immense strength, his body was as hard as iron!
Thinking about this world of tomb raiding, many mummies would be suitable for refining into corpse puppets…
Like the Jingjue Queen? The Dian Nan King of the South?
Han Li thought about it, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes…
“Some people just don’t understand, so don’t bother them and affect the teacher and Miss Yang’s research.”
At this moment, a cold snort and chuckle came from his ear!
Hao Aiguo said this, squeezing in.
He wanted to show off his knowledge on the one hand, and simply wanted to squeeze and belittle Han Li, this ‘connected’ person on the other.
“Junior Han, come here.”
Ye Yi Xin beckoned.
“What’s wrong with you, these dishes need to be taken to the kitchen quickly.”
Sa Di Peng put on his senior’s air, urging.
Chu Jian walked over, pushing Han Li aside, while grabbing the plastic bag: “Come on, come on…”
The scene became rather awkward.
“Ahem, Aiguo, do you understand?”
At this moment, Professor Chen coughed lightly, asking Hao Aiguo, wanting to change the topic and divert everyone’s eyes from Han Li.
The old professor wanted to help Han Li out of this awkward situation.
“Um… Teacher, I… I don’t understand.”
Hao Aiguo laughed sheepishly, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, he glared at Han Li who was still standing there: “Why aren’t you leaving?”
“Because I understand.”
Han Li spoke calmly, his gaze indifferent.
He hadn’t intended to get involved, but Professor Chen was a good person, and as his ‘connected’ person, he couldn’t keep giving people a bad impression.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, showing bewildered expressions.
Wang Fatty was no exception.
“Hey? I’ve had this with me for so long and haven’t figured out what’s up with it, what do you know?”
Old Hu narrowed his eyes, observing Han Li, wanting to figure out this young man’s true identity.
Han Li, facing everyone’s gaze, calmly and eloquently spoke:
“In the ancient books I’ve read before, I’ve mentioned the ‘Western Regions Ghost Cave tribe’, this nation was once the main inhabitants of the ‘Ancient City of Jingjue’ that we’re going to, they had their own culture, writing and army…”
Just as everyone was listening with great interest, Professor Chen interrupted Han Li’s words.
He expressed gratitude to Wang Fatty, while returning the jade to him.
“It’s getting late outside, you two should go back and rest.”
“You guys know the terms, $10,000 per person, an additional $10,000 if we find the Ancient City of Jingjue!”
“As for the specific time of departure, you’ll be notified later.”
Old Hu understood the ‘see you off’ implication, and said with a smile: “If that’s the case, then we won’t bother you guys anymore.”
“Hey, I was just getting to the good part!”
Fatty grumbled as he followed behind.
“Old Hu, don’t walk so fast, let’s go grab some Old Beijing mutton hotpot, and have a few bottles of beer…”
Hao Aiguo was a bit dumbfounded, he hadn’t expected Han Li to actually know something.
But he was more inclined to believe this was just a coincidence!
Maybe he got it from some random historical record to try and fool his way through.
Thinking of this, he quickly said:
“You little punk, you’re talking nonsense… Look… the teacher can’t even listen anymore!”
