Han Xiao Liu drove towards the Kunlun Mountains, listening to CDs along the way, occasionally belting out a few notes. The journey wasn't that boring.
Han Xiao Liu even made a point of stopping in big cities to try the local delicacies.
He truly made the most of his road trip.
Naturally, his departure didn't escape the watchful eyes of Yin Nan Feng and Sheng Sheng Man.
"Miss, do you think Han Xiao Liu will come back alive this time?"
Yin Nan Feng gracefully sipped from a delicate teacup and said calmly,
"I think he'll come back, and he'll definitely have something to show for it."
"Is he that capable?"
"Slowly, could an ordinary man withstand your sudden kick?"
Sheng Sheng Man shook her head, suddenly realizing.
Thinking back, during the attack on Han Xiao Liu, her movements were crisp and accurate, especially the force, the hand gripping her ankle was like a vise, she couldn't break free at all.
"See, we've all underestimated him. Don't let his carefree demeanor fool you, once he gets serious, his strength is definitely not to be underestimated. Just wait for news from him, it doesn't hurt us anyway."
Han Xiao Liu drove westward, nearing the Kunlun glaciers, he put chains on his car's tires and continued driving.
"Huh? There's actually a car here? No, the green one is a military vehicle, could that be Xue Li and her team inside?"
Han Xiao Liu's eyesight was excellent, at least 5.0, but in the snow and wind, his vision was obstructed, he couldn't really see what was inside the green-covered truck bed.
Driving to catch up with the green military truck, Han Xiao Liu glanced at the passenger window, a familiar figure was staring at him in shock.
"It's Xue Li, the car must be full of the archaeology team, damn it, this is a bit of a hassle."
Han Xiao Liu remembered how these people, after going down the glacier, were good for nothing but making trouble, though they got what they wanted, they almost died climbing back up.
"Ten Dapugui insects, a Tyrannosaurus Salamander. Both are incredibly dangerous, adding this group of people into the mix is not good."
Han Xiao Liu's car was equipped with chains, allowing it to climb far higher than the military vehicle, he stopped behind a giant rock halfway up the mountain.
With so many people, if others saw his car mysteriously disappear and reappear, it would be hard to explain. Most importantly, there were probably soldiers inside the car.
After parking, Han Xiao Liu got out of the car, took out a shovel and began shovelling snow onto the hood of the car, building a snow nest for it. If it was too cold and the engine didn't start, it would be embarrassing.
After a flurry of activity, Han Xiao Liu suddenly heard gunshots from the foot of the mountain.
"Damn, they're shooting already?"
Han Xiao Liu hurriedly checked the mountain to see if there was an avalanche.
Shooting on a snow mountain could easily trigger an avalanche, once buried, even with Han Xiao Liu's extraordinary physique, he couldn't guarantee survival.
After securing his car, Han Xiao Liu climbed the mountain, stopping only when he was blocked by a giant glacier.
Right below the glacier, there was a fissure about three meters wide, its depth unknown.
"Hiss~"
Han Xiao Liu lit a flare and tossed it down.
"Damn, this place is deep! At least 150 meters! How did the old Professor Chen climb up in the original story?"
Hu Ba Yi and the others were still climbing the mountain, from afar they saw a small figure working hard.
"Miss Yang, that's Mr. Han, why is he here? Did you tell him?"
Xue Li Yang's look of shock when she saw Han Xiao Liu wasn't fake, because the decision to change course to the Kunlun glacier was made at the last minute, and she forgot to contact Han Xiao Liu.
So now Xue Li held her phone, feeling a wave of confusion.
"I didn't inform him, I don't know how he found this place."
Professor Chen leaned on his cane, a soldier supporting him on the other side, his mouth breathing heavily.
"Xue Li, is that Han Xiao Liu? It looks like he's getting ready to go down, let's go talk to him. He came to help our archaeological team, I must thank him properly."
Professor Chen didn't know that he had completely misread the situation, Han Xiao Liu had no intention of taking them along.
Some coincidences are just beyond comprehension.
Han Xiao Liu had already set up several anchors, after all, the glacier wasn't rock, more preparation couldn't hurt.
Xue Li and Ba Yi reached the top first, they rushed forward to greet Han Xiao Liu.
"Mr. Han, why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
Xue Li didn't intend to hide anything.
"We came here to look for my father's notes, this is the most likely place, because my father last contacted us from the glacier."
Han Xiao Liu looked at the group of weak and sickly people struggling to climb up and laughed scornfully.
"You're not taking them down with you, are you? Do you know what's down there? I'll tell you, my reason for being here is to capture the Dapugui insects to study them."
Just at the foot of the mountain, Hu Ba Yi had seen the small flying insects that gave him goosebumps, he couldn't believe Han Xiao Liu was actually going to catch those things.
"Mr. Han, those things are dangerous, they can instantly turn a living person into ashes."
"I know, just prepare well and don't alert them. Besides, I don't plan on going deep."
Hu Ba Yi didn't know how to persuade him, he felt very conflicted.
As the three spoke, the members of the archaeological team reached the top one by one.
Professor Chen forced himself to walk over and greet him.
"You must be Han Xiao Liu, thank you for your hard work, and thank you for helping us."
"You must be Professor Chen, sorry, I'm not here to help you. My research is different from yours, that's why I didn't join your archaeological team. You should find a place to rest first, look at how out of breath you are."
Hearing Han Xiao Liu's words, the entire archaeological team felt awkward, they could hear the disdain in his voice.
Especially Hao Ai Guo, the bookworm, stepped forward to argue with Han Xiao Liu.
