“Miss, you had just left, and Han Xiao Liu closed his shop and drove away, heading south. He should be out of the imperial capital by now.”
“I see. Slowly, tell me, what kind of gift will Han Xiao Liu bring me this time?”
“Miss, I don’t know.”
Yin Nan Feng’s smile never faded. She didn’t care where Han Xiao Liu was going to tomb raid, her mind was filled with anticipation for his next gift.
Once a woman falls in love, she tends to lose her intelligence. In Sheng Sheng Man’s eyes, Yin Nan Feng’s current state was extremely abnormal.
“Right, Slowly, this jade eyeball has been buried underground for two thousand years. Clean it up and find a good place to put it. It is not! for! sale!”
“Yes, Miss.”
...
“Buzz~~~”
The Land Cruiser was speeding on the highway. This trip was much more comfortable than the previous two. Especially after entering the Shandong province, the wide and straight highway made Han Xiao Liu feel a little drowsy.
Han Xiao Liu drove into the Yimeng Mountains. The Guazi Temple was not far away, but the GPS in the system showed that it was still more than 100 miles away. (Original description: West of the Guazi Temple, more than a hundred miles away, there is nothing around!)
This time, Han Xiao Liu was cautious. He didn’t like using waterways, especially he didn’t want to have early contact with the Nine Gates.
Most of the tombs that Wu Xie went down to were second visits, and the old fox Wu San Sheng had been to almost all of them.
Han Xiao Liu didn’t want to get involved in whatever plans the Nine Gates, or rather the Wu family, had.
“Nowadays, there’s no mobile phone navigation. It’s such a hassle, but when you reach the foot of the mountain, there will be a road. If there’s no road, we still have two legs, right?”
Han Xiao Liu drove up the winding mountain road, eventually reaching a small mountain village. The people here were different from those in other places. There was a hint of vigilance in their expressions, and even though the village seemed very poor, they were used to seeing strangers.
“Auntie, can I stay here for the night?”
“150 yuan a night, no meals included. Young man, are you also here to tomb raid?”
This auntie thought Han Xiao Liu’s attire was very ‘unprofessional’.
Ordinary tomb raiders are all fully armed. On the contrary, Han Xiao Liu’s attire leaned towards formal wear, with a shirt and tie. Which professional tomb raider would dress like this, especially a pretty boy?
Han Xiao Liu didn’t mind. Besides himself, no one knew how good this suit was. Besides, being able to conceal one’s identity was a good thing.
“Yes, Auntie. I heard there are ancient tombs here. I love exploring and wanted to take a look, haha.”
Han Xiao Liu spoke like a foolish nouveau riche and generously handed over 500 yuan.
“This is for lodging. Get me some food later.”
The auntie happily took the money and looked at Han Xiao Liu with increasing favor.
“Young man, let me tell you, just a few hours ago, a lot of foreigners went into the mountain. They were all fierce and had so much stuff with them. Especially the leader, a beautiful girl, tsk tsk.”
The money was worth it. It was effortless to get this information. It meant that An Ning’s team had already entered the mountain.
This time, because of two system missions, the GPS had two points, one was Iron Face Sheng, the other was Lu Shang Wang.
Han Xiao Liu planned to start with Iron Face Sheng and work his way forward.
After a simple meal, it was already midnight. Han Xiao Liu checked his system space and made sure it was correct. Then he quietly left the guesthouse through the window.
Obviously, you couldn’t drive up the mountain. Han Xiao Liu had experience with the General’s Tomb, and this time, his speed in the forest was even faster.
“Someone?”
Han Xiao Liu stopped and squatted down. There was a flickering light about 300 meters ahead.
“Their direction is towards the big fool.”
Han Xiao Liu was now at the intersection, and the other side was the location of the sinkhole where Iron Lao Liu was.
“No, this time An Ning’s team, except for her, none of them can be spared! Since they’re after someone’s body, how can they know the result without trying, hehe.”
Han Xiao Liu wasn’t really demanding. If he got it, it was his good fortune, if he didn’t, it was his fate. However, he also coveted An Ning’s skills.
Building a team requires people from all aspects.
Shirley inherited the art of “moving mountains” and has extensive theoretical knowledge about tomb raiding, but her shooting and combat skills are certainly not as good as An Ning’s, who came from a mercenary background. In the team, she is suitable to be a strategist.
An Ning is the opposite of Shirley. She has strong military skills and strong execution, but she is not proficient in tomb raiding, and sometimes she’s a bit stubborn and selfish.
In this way, Shirley and An Ning are complementary to each other, but the difficulty of recruiting them is quite high.
Han Xiao Liu secretly observed, and when he saw what the mercenaries were holding, he instantly widened his eyes.
“Huh? No way, are those detonators… They want to blow up the mountain?”
“After we go down, you ambush around. People from the Nine Gates will surely come over.”
“Yes, captain.”
An Ning’s team had a total of 25 people this time. Four of them stayed on the surface, including the one who beat Wu Xie in Inner Mongolia and was later dealt with by Han Xiao Liu.
“Boom~~”
“Boom~~”
Two sets of detonators exploded, but the power and sound weren’t loud. It was obvious that they were afraid of damaging the underground palace below.
“How did these people find the tomb location? Did 裘德考 already know all the locations?”
Han Xiao Liu watched as An Ning led 20 fully armed mercenaries into the pit, and he immediately took action.
The four remaining people were still organizing the camp, setting up radios and supplies, without any sign of vigilance at all.
But thinking about it, it’s also true. In this kind of place, late at night, no one would come.
“Snap!”
One hand strike knocked out a person who came out to pee, then stuffed a cloth into his mouth and tied his hands behind his back.
“Why hasn’t he come back yet? You two, go check it out.”
The two got up and walked towards the forest. Han Xiao Liu suddenly appeared silently behind the lone person.
“Who? Ugh…”
The same hand strike knocked him out. After covering his mouth and tying him up, he threw him into the tent.
“Two more. This sneak attack feeling is so damn fun.”
Although it was a bit of bullying, Han Xiao Liu said he liked this feeling of being sneaky, especially when it was against foreign forces.
