Chapter 128: Blood Amber 2

  "Is it in the muddy pond? The one we just saw?"

  Kang Qingxue suddenly shouted: "Muddy pit?! I said that muddy pit was problematic! No way! I don't want to stay here, I want to leave, go back now!"

  Everyone looked at each other in shock, Kang Qingshu had already stood up from the ground and walked into the tent. Old Yan quickly said to everyone: "Don't worry, we've been here many times before, there's definitely nothing wrong, it must be someone playing tricks on us. I'll go talk to Miss Kang, you all go back to the tent and rest first."

  Wen Baiyu returned to the tent, feeling tired all over, and lay down directly, putting his hands behind his head as a pillow.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou lifted/opened the tent and drilled in, saw Wen Bai Yu's clothes rolled up due to his movements, revealing a small belly, walked over and pulled down his clothes for him.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This old Yan and Kang Qingshu must have a leg, running together in the middle of the night. And Kang Qingshu's reaction is too big, the mud man's five senses are all muddy, how can Kang Qingshu recognize who it is."

  "Unless it's someone familiar."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "Looking at them, they won't do anything good. Such an unexpected thing happened, I just want to hurry up and take a look at what that mine shaft looks like."

  Wen Baiyu said as she yawned, her eyelids fighting to stay open. She leaned against Wan Kuang Jinghou and felt especially warm, not needing a quilt at all.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said, "Don't worry about this, blood amber and amber are very similar, and the seller is not an antique dealer. Only a small number of people in the Tao know the origin of this blood amber, and the profit is huge. I'm sure these people won't give it up."

  He was speaking, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Wen Baiyu had actually fallen asleep. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing even, and her eyebrows relaxed, looking like she was sleeping very soundly.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh, lowered his head and kissed Wen Bai Yu's forehead. Wen Bai Yu grumbled and turned sideways, actually reaching out to hug Wan Jie Jing Hou's waist, and even rubbed his face against his waist twice.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at the time and figured he couldn't sleep anymore, so he didn't move and let Wen Bai Yu hold him as he slept.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Sure enough, in less than half an hour, there was a commotion outside again. Lao Yan's voice was calling out to everyone. As soon as the noise sounded, Wen Baiyu frowned and rubbed her eyes, saying: "Huh... did I fall asleep?""

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and reached out to hook his nose, saying: "I'm talking to you and you're sleeping, sleeping quite soundly."

  Wen Baiyu rubbed his head and said, "What's all the commotion outside?"

  Wan Kuang said: "I'm afraid we'll have to travel through the night."

  Wen Baiyu frowned and said, "Not letting people sleep well."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Then you sleep, I'll carry you onto the carriage. You can also sleep in the carriage."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, originally wanting to shake his head because he was also a big man and it would be embarrassing to be carried around by someone. However, thinking of Kang Qingxue suddenly made him feel that being carried by Wan Jingshou wasn't so bad after all.

  Wen Baiyu thought, Kang Qingxue was a forty-five-year-old or older man, and he actually set his sights on Wan Yujinghou's family. Even if Wan Yujinghou was a thousand-year-old demon, he looked like he was only thirty years old at most. An old cucumber painted green still wanted to nibble on tender grass.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know that he had turned over the vinegar jar in his heart and was swimming in the vinegar sea. Wan Qi Jinghou smiled and looked at him with a frown, suddenly understanding. He directly picked Wen Baiyu up horizontally, scaring him, and said: "Put your arms around me."

  Wen Bai's face was slightly red, but she still wrapped her arms around Wang Ju's waist and leaned her head against his chest, pretending to sleep.

  Actually, Wen Baiyu didn't need to pretend at all. He leaned against Wan Kuang Jinghou's chest and immediately fell asleep due to the high body temperature, which made Wen Baiyu feel warm and cozy, as if he was hugging an electric heater. Moreover, it wasn't hot or dry, and in less than three seconds, he really fell asleep.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou saw that Wen Bai Yu was really exhausted and couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering if Wen Bai Yu had fallen ill.

  When they came out of the tent, everyone was quickly packing their luggage. The two men outside were dismantling the bonfire, Lao Yan was directing, while Kang Qingshuo didn't want to stay outside for a moment and climbed into the car.

  Kang Qingxue saw Wan Kuang Jing Hou holding Wen Baiyu in his arms, and was surprised for a moment. He found that Wen Baiyu was sleeping, with an even more wonderful expression on his face. Unfortunately, Wen Baiyu was really asleep at this time, so he couldn't appreciate it.

  Guan Nan saw Wen Baiyu like this and immediately ran over, saying: "Master, Master's wife is ill?"

  Wen Baiyu slept soundly and didn't hear Guan Nan calling him. Otherwise, he would have gotten up and blown his top again.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Maybe he's a bit tired and fell asleep."

  Guan Nan reached out and touched Wen Baiyu's forehead, and since she didn't have a fever, he felt relieved.

  Xue Mu picked up his luggage, he carried several in one hand, and naturally, they were packed with little guys.

  Everyone got on the car, Kang Qingshu suggested not to sit in the co-pilot seat because it's not safe. As a result, Kang Qingshu moved to the back seat, which can accommodate six people. The back seat was already full, so when Kang Qingshu came over, someone had to go sit in the co-pilot seat.

  She was about to get out of the car, but Kang Qingshu stopped her. Kang Qingshu flipped down the spare seat in the back and sat between the two seats, thinking this way she would be safe. If someone were to suddenly stop the car, with people on both sides, she would be the safest one...

  Kang Qingxue's ideal position is, of course, next to Wan Kuang Jinghou. Wan Kuang Jinghou's movements are extremely agile. Just now, Lao Yan fired two shots in a row but they were useless. Wan Kuang Jinghou didn't even need his gun and directly used his dagger to chase away that mud man. Who is more powerful can be seen at a glance.

  However, after Wan Jie Jing Hou brought Wen Bai Yu up and put him on his lap, Wen Bai Yu leaned against his own chair, resting his head on Wan Jie Jing Hou's leg, feeling like he was occupying two seats at once. Kang Qing Xue didn't know why, but she had a feeling of not being able to get her foot in.

  Guan Nan and Xue Suo sat in the back, putting their backpacks at their feet. The little ones took advantage of the cover to stick their heads out from behind the backpacks, and Guan Nan reached out to tease them.

  Xue Mu grasped Guan Nan's hand and said, "Stop playing around, it's still early, lean on me and take a nap."

  Actually, Guan Nan was quite tired, but the little ones were too cute, and Guan Nan had already neglected his Blood Jade for a whole night, playing with the little ones instead.

  Xuě suī fú zhù tā de nǎo dài, àn zài zì jǐ jiān bǎng shàng, shuō: "shuì jiào."

  Translation:

  Blood marrow supported his head, pressed it onto his own shoulder and said: "Sleep".

  Guannan thought for a moment and said: "You can lean on me too. We'll lean on each other, and you can take a nap as well."

  Xue Mu raised an eyebrow and took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to bite Guan Nan's lip, scaring him into covering his mouth immediately.

  The car started quickly, and Kang Qingshu was frightened just now, so she didn't want to go any further. But Wan Kuang Jing Hou said that the value of blood amber is very high, using this blood amber fish eye mixed pearl, extremely few people can find out, it's simply a huge profit. Old Yan persuaded her, and Kang Qingshu was immediately tempted again.

  The car moved forward slowly, because it was just the second half of the night, and the sky was too dark. Moreover, it had rained in the previous few days, so the ground was too muddy. Old Yan basically couldn't drive fast, a good car became as slow as an ox cart.

  The car splashed with mud all over, mud and water flying everywhere, hitting the glass, making a loud cracking sound.

  At this time the wheel seemed to have pressed onto a stone, and suddenly jolted, Wan Xi Jing Hou hurriedly stretched out his hand to steady Wen Bai Yu, not letting him tumble down from his leg.

  Kang Qingxue had become a startled bird, and immediately let out a loud "Ah!!" shout, scaring everyone into a daze. Wen Baiyu was taken aback, and quickly scrambled up from Wan Jingshou's leg, saying: "What's wrong?!"

  Guan Nan had just woken up too and was startled, suddenly lifting her head and almost bumping into Xue Mu's chin.

  Mo Xi Jing Hou said: "Nothing's wrong, go back to sleep."

  Wen Baiyu finally let out a sigh of relief, and when she looked up, she saw Kang Qingshu with a terrified expression, staring at her.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit inexplicable, but still lay down and continued to lie on Wan Jingshou's leg.

  Kang Qingshu turned back and scolded Old Yan for two sentences, saying: "Can you drive or not? How did you drive the car! You scared me to death!"

  Lao Yan was also in a bad mood at this time, speaking loudly: "Take a look yourself, what kind of road is outside? It's the middle of the night and you want to rush on the road. Shut up quickly, or we'll drive into the mud pit!"

  Kang Qing's face was filled with anger and resentment as he turned back, two men hastily intervened to mediate.

  Kang Qingxue hummed coldly at this time, took a few deep breaths, seemingly to calm down his own anger, after taking a deep breath, immediately felt sore waist.

  She was just attacked by a mud man in the tent, and except for the mud on her body, there were also blood stains on her waist where she was touched, like an iron burn. She has been cleaned up and bandaged, but it still hurts.

  Kang Qingxue was suffocating with anger, looking at the night scene outside, and felt terrified. He glanced at Wen Baiyu and said with a fake smile: "The relationship between Boss Wen and Master Jing is really good."

  Wen Baiyu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was resting her head on Wang Juexuan's leg. She glanced sideways at Kang Qingxue with a sly smile, saying: "Yeah, who let him eat my food, drink my wine, and sleep in my bed?"

  Kang Qingxue was a bit skeptical, after all, Jing Ye even if he was alone, his worth was high enough to be priceless, how could he possibly live off others?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't refute, but instead smiled slightly. It was the first time Kang Qing Xue saw Wan Xi Jing Hou smile, and she was so shocked that she couldn't move. Wan Xi Jing Hou's smile was extremely rare, and on his normally cold and aloof face, a hint of warmth suddenly appeared, making Kang Qing Xue look foolish.

  Wen Baiyu secretly pinched Wan Jingshou's leg, thinking to herself: what is there to smile about, one smile and a person's soul is gone, he's simply a rotten mud eel.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head and whispered in Wen Bai Yu's ear, "What you said isn't wrong either. It's just eating yours, drinking yours, and then sleeping with you."

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red in an instant, half because of Wan Jingshou's rogue behavior, and the other half because of Wan Jingshou's hot breath on his ear, making Wen Baiyu's ears feel numb and itchy.

  Wen Baiya shook her head, and Wan Jiahui narrowed his eyes and said: "If you mess with me again, I'll kiss you right now."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly didn't dare move anymore. How could he have known that just by moving a little, he would actually shift to the crucial position of Wan Kuangjinghou, it was simply fatal.

  Wen Bai's body stiffened, and she finally couldn't lie down anymore. She turned over, but as soon as she did, her waist suddenly felt sore. "Ah..." she groaned, but surprisingly, she didn't get up.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou supported his waist and helped Wen Bai Yu up, saying: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why is there a bit of sourness on my body."

  He said, his face suddenly turned black, and he suddenly thought that it might be because of the many dealings with Wan Kuang Jing Hou these past few days...

  He sat up, leaning against the chair, and said beside Wang Zijun as if no one was there: "Can I help you massage your waist?"

  Wen Baiyu felt a slight ache in her waist, but it was nothing serious. However, when she glanced at Kang Qingxue's gaze, which seemed to be filled with malice, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable. After all, Wan Jingshou was hers, and yet this peeping tom still dared to look at him with such a gaze.

  Wen Baiyu nodded in agreement with a pleased expression.

  Wen Baiyu turned his back, facing the window, with his legs raised, looking very much like a landlord. Wan Jingshou was pinching his waist, but his movements were light, rubbing against Wen Baiyu's body, feeling numb and tingly. This wasn't just a waist pinch, it was more like... fondling.

  Wen Baiyu let out a sudden "Uh..." and was startled by her own voice, not expecting to be so sensitive. Her old face turned bright red as she slapped Wan Jingshou's hand and said in an unpleasant tone: "Haven't eaten dinner yet, use some strength."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Wen."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou initially only teased Wen Bai Yu, but didn't expect Wen Bai Yu to suddenly hum out a sound, her voice carrying a hint of comfortable moans, Wan Qi Jing Hou definitely didn't want others to hear Wen Bai Yu make such sounds.

  Wen Baiyu leaned against the window and looked out, Wan Qi Jinghou's movements were very regular, honestly giving him a waist pinch, light and heavy just right, especially relieving fatigue.

  The warm white feathers are lazy and sleepy, saying: "If you lose your job in the future, you can set up a stall to give people massages."

  Kang Qingxue looked at him with a silly expression, as if Wen Baiyu had said something absurd. How could Wan Qi Jinghou possibly be unemployed? There were countless people who wanted to collaborate with Wan Qi Jinghou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou then smiled and said: "You don't resign from me, I won't lose my job."

  Wen Baiyu hadn't heard clearly, almost falling asleep, her eyelids twitching as she stared out the window. Outside was extremely dark, but Wen Baiyu's eyesight was better than average, and she could still see relatively clearly.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly widened her eyes and lifted her head violently, bumping the back of her head against Wan Qi Jinghou's high nose bridge.

  Wen Baiyu let out an "ah" and covered her head, while Wan Jingshou was knocked back a bit, but reacted quickly and retreated backwards, saying: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her own head, and before she could make sense of the scene in front of her, she climbed up to the window and looked out, saying: "There's something over there."

  He had just finished speaking when Kang Qingshu immediately shouted out, saying: "Don't scare people!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "How did I scare you? Take a flashlight and take a look."

  Guan Nan was woken up and also looked out the window. He took a flashlight, rolled down the window, and stretched his hand to shine where Wen Baiyu said.

  Lao Yan slowed down the car, and everyone wanted to see what it was.

  The car wasn't going very fast to begin with, and it was getting slower and slower. Old Yan simply stopped the car, rolled down the window, and shone his flashlight outside.

  Their flashlights were specially designed for outdoor use, with very strong light that could shine extremely far. Two beams of flashlight converged and shone on a place not far away, the flashlight flickered and found that place was reflective, it should be a mud pit.

  "Hey? What's in the mud?"

  He spoke, and Kang Qingshuang let out another startled "Ah!" which frightened everyone so much that they trembled, almost dropping the flashlight.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Nothing... nothing, it's just a little scary..."

  She said, turning her head and stretching out her hand to hold Wan Kuang Jing Hou's arm, "Jing Ye, you must protect me."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou dodged his arm and avoided Kang Qing Xue's touch, saying: "You are safe as long as you don't get off the car."

  After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Kang Qingshuai and let Wen Baiyu take the flashlight to shine.

  Three beams of light passed by, and the mud pit was already illuminated very clearly. Just as Guan Nan said, there were things on the surface of the mud pit, and they seemed to be growing out of it.

  Wen Baiyu blinked and said: "Cactus?"

  The things in the mud pit really look like cacti, but they are all wrapped in mud and it's hard to say what they are. And if they were really cacti, there wouldn't be any thorns on them either.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and looked a few times, Wen Bai Yu suddenly shook his hand and said: "The cactus has moved."

  Wan Xi Jinghou immediately grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand back and pressed the button on the door, quickly raising the window, saying: "Not a cactus, it's a human hand... drive!"

  Lao Yan didn't even know what he had just heard, but Wan Xi Jing Hou's tone was extremely frightening. He immediately floored it and the car jumped forward. Lao Yan yelled out loud: "Damn! Didn't pull the handbrake!"

  Because the accelerator was too fierce, everyone rushed forward fiercely, and Wan Qi Jing Hou and Xue Su quickly stretched out their hands to stop Wen Bai Yu and Guan Nan. Xue Su also grabbed another backpack on the ground.

  The little guys' backpacks jumped up from the ground and then fell back down, this group of little guys was so bold that they weren't afraid at all, but instead "hehe" laughed.

  Kang Qingxue let out a loud cry and said: "I... I seem to hear laughter! It's too scary! Help!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  This time, Kang Qingshuo really didn't mishear, but everyone thought she did.

  Lao Yan pulled up the handbrake and suddenly pressed down on the accelerator, but he didn't know if it was because of his nervousness that the car only went about 50 meters before they heard a loud "crash!" and a huge amount of mud splattered onto the windshield. The car sank again and got stuck in another pothole.

  Lao Yan cursed and Kang Qingshu scolded Lao Yan for not knowing how to drive, while pushing the driver's assistant out of the car to push the vehicle.

  Even if you push the cart, with so many people on it, it won't work, and everyone will have to get off before it can be pushed out, after all, this is a muddy pit, which is difficult to push in itself.

  Just as they were about to open the door and get out of the car, Wan Jie suddenly said, "Don't move."

  Duan's hand jerked and Wan Zha Jing Hou said: "No one gets off the carriage."

  Kang Qing said with a stutter: "H...how is it?"

  Wen Baiyu turned her head back to look, and saw that the cacti in the muddy pit from earlier had disappeared, leaving only one lonely one behind.

  That cactus was actually growing at a visible rate, slowly drilling out of the mud pit, just like what Wan Qi Jing Hou said, it wasn't a cactus, but a human hand...

  A person slowly crawled out of the mud pit, because he had entered the muddy pit, possibly due to his survival instinct, his head was already submerged, and instead stretched out his hand, finally revealing only one hand, so what they saw earlier was a piece of cactus, which was actually a piece of human hand sticking out.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the muddy figure emerging from the mud pit, when suddenly, with a loud "thud", another muddy figure abruptly climbed up from behind their vehicle.

  The movement was extremely large, with a "pa pa pa" sound, covering the rear window with mud, shaking the car, and the big truck sank even lower. Everyone let out an "ah!" of screams, with Kang Qingshu's voice being the loudest.

  A muddy face was stuck to the rear window, printing a muddy five senses cave. Guan Nan sat in the back and was startled, suddenly shouting "Ah!"

  The car's windows were very strong, and the mud people didn't break in, but they kept scratching their car.

  Right behind, there were several "bangs", and the mud men almost came from all directions, constantly hitting their car. Several mud men stuck their faces to the window, screaming, revealing muddy mouths and teeth, biting them wildly.

  Kang Qing let out a cry and immediately fainted, collapsing to the ground.

  Lao Yan was yelling loudly while constantly starting the car, which made a "humming" sound and kept digging into the mud like a tractor.

  The car suddenly surged forward and actually managed to escape from the muddy pit. With a few "thuds", all the mud-covered people on the car were thrown off, and the car began to speed away quickly.

  The muddy man was thrown to the ground, got up and continued to chase forward. The car had a hard time speeding up on this terrain, and also had to prevent falling into potholes. The muddy man behind didn't take long to catch up, with a loud "bang!" he jumped onto the car, grasped the roof with both hands, and kept shaking violently.

  I don't know what kind of weird power the muddy men had, but their big car was shaking back and forth, making "Bang! Bang!" noises on the roof, and soon a piece of it caved in.

  Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare go out, and they all relied on Old Yan to drive the car to throw away the mud people.

  But this place still has to hide from mud pits, it's really not easy to get rid of.

  "Cough!"

  Just then, a mud man suddenly crawled out from in front of the car. Old Yan let out an "ahhh" and instinctively slammed on the brakes. A loud crash was heard as the car and the mud man collided. The mud man was knocked open and the mud man on top of the car was also thrown off.

  But their car head was dented a big chunk, Lao Yan didn't have time to deal with these, he made a sharp turn and drove onto the slope, just then heard a "crash" sound, the front bumper actually fell off.

  The muddy man got up from the ground again and chased them crazily.

  Lao Yan shouted: "What to do! Think of a way!"

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly said, "Get me a robbery."

  Lao Yan was startled, but still handed over the backpack on the passenger seat to Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou pulled out a gun from inside, then quickly opened the car window and jumped out of it. He bit the gun in his mouth, hooked his hands, flipped his body forward, and immediately leaped onto the roof of the car.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to see him, Wan Qi Jinghou saw the muddy man rushing over and immediately bowed his head and said: "Baiyu, close the window."

  Closing the window would mean locking out General Wan as well, wouldn't it? But there was no other way; otherwise, the mud man would climb in through the window.

  Wen Baiyu quickly pressed the button on the door and rolled up the window.

  The muddy man suddenly rushed over in an instant, "bang!" and hit the glass, then fell to the ground.

  The mud man behind followed up, crazily chasing after them. Wan Xi Jing Hou crouched on the top of the carriage, one hand grasping the top to keep balance, and the other hand gripping his gun, aiming at the mud man behind.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's fingers lightly tapped on the keyboard, but gave up aiming.

  At this time, the mud man had already swiftly jumped up and landed on top of the carriage. He was about to pounce on Wan Zijun, but Wan Zijun dodged to the side and inserted his gun into his waist. He pulled out the Longlin dagger, sheath and all, without opening it.

  The muddy man rushed up, wanting to pounce on Wan Zijun. Wan Zijun took advantage of the momentum and pressed the muddy man down onto the roof of the carriage. The people inside couldn't see what was happening outside, but they heard a "thud" sound as the roof kept sinking in.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou held the mud man in place, his right hand grasping the hilt of his sword. With a swift motion, he scraped the blade against the mud man's body, and a large amount of mud fell off, revealing the person inside.

  It's really a person, but to be exact, it's already a dead person, and they're still wearing clothes.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, the dragon scale dagger flashed in the light as it was pulled out of its sheath with a "whooshing" sound. The mud man let out a loud roar and before he could even react, the dragon scale dagger had already been plunged into his forehead. The mud man convulsed for a moment before falling to the ground motionless.

  The mud people behind him seemed to be frightened by the dragon scales, and they all turned their heads and ran towards the muddy pond behind them. With a few "plops", they jumped into the pond one after another, just like fish, and disappeared in an instant.

  Wen Baiyu heard the noise on the car roof subside, and the mud people behind also ran away. She suddenly felt relieved, opened the window, and Kang Qingshu woke up at this time, shouting: "Don't open the window! Don't open the window! It's too dangerous!"

  Wen Baiyu ignored him and poked his head out, but still couldn't see anything above, so he just shouted: "Mo Jinghou?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou responded with a sound and said: "The car can stop now."

  Lao Yan saw those monsters run away, and then slowly stopped the car.

  Wen Baiyu was the first to get off the carriage, and as soon as he did, he heard a rustling sound. Wan Kuanghou jumped down from the top of the carriage, still holding a mud figurine in his hand, which he then threw onto the ground beside him.

  Others let out a sigh of relief as Wan Qi Jing Hou subdued the muddy man. Lao Yan opened the car door and rushed down, kicking the muddy man twice, saying: "Damn it! What kind of ghost thing is this!"

  Wen Baiyu saw that Wan Jie Jinghou had mud on his hands, so she handed him a paper towel. Wan Jie Jinghou slowly and calmly wiped his hands, then reached out to grab the car door handle and pulled it open with one swift motion. Kang Qingshu inside was startled.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Come out and take a look."

  Kang Qing's face turned pale as he shouted, "Recognize... what..."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Kang Qingxue's face and was sure there was something fishy going on.

  Kang Qingshuo didn't get off the car, Wan Xizonghou picked up the mud man on the ground, and Kang Qingshuo immediately let out another sharp cry.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou picked up a branch, peeled off the mud from the outside of the mud man, and inside was actually a person, who was wearing clothes. His clothes were surprisingly similar to those of the two men who had been fighting.

  Those two fighters immediately widened their eyes and said: "Isn't this our person?"

  Kang Qingshu was so frightened that he let out a shrill cry, saying: "How could it be him! Heaven, this is the person we left behind to watch the mine pit, how...how can it turn out like this?"

  Lao Yan said: "The mine must have had an accident, is someone trying to take advantage of our departure? No way, we need to hurry up and leave."

  Wen Baiyu carefully examined the muddy figure on the ground, and found that the outer layer of mud had been stripped away by Wan Kuangjinghou. The body seemed to have no external injuries, and it hadn't been dead for too long, yet it had risen from the dead just like that.

  "How much farther ahead?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Lao Yan said: "Not far! Not far away! We walked past before, it was easy to get there, because the road is not good today, who knows... who knows what happened."

  Lao Yan inspected the car and although the roof was dented and the front was also dented, the car could still run. Everyone got back in the car and Lao Yan started driving with a shaky hand.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou sat up and said: "Are you injured?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head.

  The car moved forward, and for the time being it was very stable. It didn't encounter any more mud people either. The car continued to drive for another half hour, and Wen Baiyu was shaken to sleepiness, saying: "Didn't you say we'd arrive soon?"

  Lao Yan was actually sweating a bit, his voice trembling as he said: "It's... it's almost here... I remember it's just around this area, but why is there no one? We agreed to have people keeping watch, there should be many people waiting in ambush nearby."

  Wen Baiyu looked out of the window and saw no one outside. The sky was still very dark, and he couldn't see where the mine was.

  Lao Yan started the car again and reversed it, saying: "It's this mark, this is the mark we made before."

  He said, pointing to a tree outside the window with many thick iron wires tied to it, presumably their marker.

  Lao Yan got off the car, looked at the iron wire, and then looked around, saying: "How... how is it not right? The mine pit is gone! Gone!"

  Kang Qing was so frightened that his eyes turned white and he almost fainted, saying: "Has a ghost appeared?!"

  Others also got off the car, Wen Baiyu looked at the wire and saw that it was tied very tightly. It's estimated that they were afraid of losing the mark, so they tied many circles. This place is a desolate mountain wilderness, and few people can find this sign.

  There is nothing next to the sign, and even trees are sparse.

  Wen Baiyu stretched out her hand to touch the mark, and suddenly felt a "drip" sound, as some kind of liquid dripped onto the back of her hand.

  Wen Baiyu thought it was going to rain again, this place is already wet enough, and it's so damp and cold, no wonder the corpses are rising.

  He turned his head sideways and took a look, only to find that it wasn't rainwater. There was a drop of blood on the back of his hand, slowly dripping down.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, just as he did, there was a "drip" sound, a drop of blood fell onto the toe of his shoe and soon blended into the soil.

  Wen Baiyu looked up and couldn't help but let out a loud "Hua——" sound, taking two steps back, her throat swelling, she really couldn't hold it in, and suddenly squatted down and vomited.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou hastily stretched out his hand to hold him and said: "Bai Yu?"

  The white feathered hand pointed upwards, covering her own mouth, and she couldn't make a sound.

  Kang Qingxue thought Wen Baiyu saw an insect on the tree, and was about to mock her. But when she looked up, she suddenly let out a loud "Ahhh!!!" and fell to the ground with a thud, also spitting out a mouthful of something.

  All that could be seen was a dense tree crown, and suddenly a human face emerged from it. The face was facing downwards, with its mouth wide open, the chin stretched too far apart, giving an unnatural feeling, as if it had been dislocated. The eyes were wide open, half of the face was blurred with blood and flesh, and blood kept flowing down from the face...

  Lao Yan took a look and exclaimed: "It's one of our people again!?"

  The people on the tree are also Lao Yan and Kang Qingshuo's men who were left to watch/guard the mine, because this is a huge profit. When Kang Qingshuo returned to Beijing to attend a banquet, he also left someone to continue mining, but didn't expect that when he came back, the mine had disappeared out of thin air, and his men either died or disappeared.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked up, the person on the tree was half-hidden in the trunk, and it was really hard to see clearly. However, it wasn't difficult to make out that this corpse had bite marks, but it was unclear whether it had encountered a wild beast or a very fierce zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling).

  Just then, "thud!" A corpse fell from the tree, "squeak" a big yellow monkey swung down from the tree and then jumped to other trees.

  It was actually a monkey who dragged the corpse so high, but monkeys definitely don't like eating corpses.

  The corpse fell down, with a very frightening dead expression. One of his arms was missing, seemingly torn off by someone, and his face was twisted in a grimace.

  Guan Nan took a step back in fright, Xue Mu blocked his line of sight and patted Guan Nan's back.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou moved the corpse slightly, and there were many signs of tearing on its body.

  One of them finally shouted out, "It must be that curse! That curse!"

  Before he could finish speaking, Lao Yan had already slapped him and shouted loudly: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"

  He didn't dare make a sound with his hands covering his face and remaining silent.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit curious, actually Kang Qingshu's approach and attitude had been making Wen Baiyu curious all along.

  The first suspicious place is that Kang Qingshuo is an antique dealer, who has been on the road for many years and should know the difference between the two blood agates. Moreover, Kang Qingshuo only wore her "Buddha's hand blood agate" on the first day of the wine party and never wore it again, obviously Kang Qingshuo knew more about the origin of this blood agate.

  That led to Wen Baiyu's second point of curiosity. If Kang Qingshu knew the origin of the Blood Agate, and considering her own interests, she would want to continue excavating it. So why did she suddenly return to Beijing when her husband died? She didn't even return for his funeral, but now she's back. Now that I think about it, maybe Kang Qingshu's husband was involved in the excavation of the Blood Agate when he died, and it might have something to do with the Blood Agate itself, not just because of their honeymoon.

  The third point is that Kang Xue holds a banquet and invites many people from the underworld, which is very illogical. If you want to make money with blood amber, you should let the underworld people not know, otherwise it's likely to be seen through, and Wan Qi Jinghou saw at a glance that the blood amber she wore was not the agate collected.

  The fourth point is who "he" is in Kang Qingshu's words.

  The fifth point is naturally the curse of the punch/hand just mentioned.

  If the whole thing is connected, Kang Qingshu inadvertently discovered a mine pit, where there was blood amber. While digging for blood amber, some unexpected events occurred, her husband died, but driven by interests, Kang Qingshu continued to dig for blood amber. Following this, something very important happened, possibly related to a "curse", forcing Kang Qingshu to abandon halfway, but she couldn't bear to give up the money. In fact, the wine party was just an excuse, she wanted to ask people from the Taoist sect to help her continue digging the mine pit, and this person is Wan Qi Jing Hou. Since they asked for Wan Qi Jing Hou's help, it's likely that they encountered something more than a simple mine pit. Adding to this, now that so many strange things have been discovered, it's possible that it's a tomb, or perhaps while digging the mine pit, they accidentally dug into a tomb, even if it's not a tomb, it should be something similar to a burial pit.

  Kang Qingxue and Lao Yan were both stunned, on the one hand they saw many dead people, on the other hand no one came to meet them, most importantly, the mine had vanished into thin air.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, looked down at the ground, reached out and pinched a bit of dirt, saying: "It's collapsed."

  Wen Baiyu looked down at his feet and said, "You say this place has collapsed?"

  No wonder the mine shaft flew away, it turned out to be a collapse, but this collapse is too knowledgeable, the soil on the ground is very flat, maybe it's because of the rain, making the soil look very natural.

  But on closer inspection, the places they stepped on were actually somewhat low-lying, like a huge shallow pit.

  Lao Yan said: "What! Collapsed?! It must be those people who took unauthorized action!"

  The place has arrived, just nearby, but due to landslides, they have to find another way to drill in.

  Wen Baiyu thought that what he had in mind was probably 80 or 90% correct, because when Wan Jie Jinghou said he wanted to survey the area nearby, Lao Yan immediately took out all the equipment from the trunk, everything was complete and not missing a single item, all for Wan Jie Jinghou's use.

  Guan Nan helped Wen Baiyu onto the car and let her lie down, saying: "Master's wife, do you want to lie on my legs?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu reached out and pinched Guan Nan's cheek, saying: "No need to call me Master, Wan Qi Jing Hou is a serious person who doesn't teach nonsense."

  Guan Nan's stature was about the same as Wan Kuang Jing Hou, but he wasn't as tall, and his arms and legs seemed a bit slender. Wen Bai Yu was afraid of crushing him, so Guan Nan took out a piece of clothing, folded it up, and used it as a pillow to support his neck.

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Not bad, quite thrifty."

  Just then, the car door opened again. It was Kang Qingxue who got on the bus. After all, she couldn't help much and was still wearing high heels.

  Kang Qingxue came over in the snow and found Wen Baiyu chatting with Guan Nan, immediately speaking in a strange tone: "I think you're just fine, you just don't want to go down and work, huh?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took the tools to open the meter, saw Wen Bai Yu's face turn pale from vomiting, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "You go sleep in the car for a while, I'll call you when I'm done."

  Wen Baiyu was indeed exhausted, and looked a bit pale after vomiting. Wan Jingshou let Guan Nan support Wen Baiyu to the carriage to rest, then called over Xue Suo to help.

  Lao Yan and two helpers also went to help, they are now facing a bit of a predicament. First, they need to dig a hole, digging a mine is not like digging a thief's hole, don't know when it will be finished, and there are many hidden dangers around them. If they don't hurry up and dig, who knows what strange things they'll encounter later.

  Wen Baiyu didn't bother with her and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

  Kang Qingxue suddenly said: "I advise you to give up, what kind of person is Wan Qi Jing Hou? He has such a great reputation in the Taoist community, he must want to pass on his skills. I can tell, you don't look that good, I don't know how Master Jing looked at you and liked you. To be honest, even if you were better looking, you're still not a woman. Master Jing might just play with you. It's different for me, I have money, I'm a woman, I can give birth to children..."

  Kang Qingxue chattered on and on, Wen Baiyu's temples twitched, he indeed wasn't a woman, but his family really didn't lack children anymore...

  Kang Qingxue saw him open his eyes and thought he had touched Wen Baiyu's sore spot.

  Wen Baiyu sat up and saw Guan Nan staring at Kang Qingshuang with a fierce gaze, Kang Qingshuang said: "What, did I say something wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu patted Guan Nan's hand and told him not to be angry, then smiled at Kang Qingshuo and said: "Auntie, what you said is right, but even if the gender is correct, at your age, having a child is a bit risky."

  Kang Qingxue's face suddenly changed color, red, green and white, "whooshing" back and forth like a malfunctioning traffic light.

  Guan Nan couldn't help it and burst out laughing with a "pfft" sound, never expecting Wen Baiyu to be so sharp-tongued.

  Kang Qingshu said: "What do you mean! Speak up! Are you insulting me!"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "No, I'm just kindly reminding you."

  Kang Qing's face turned cold and he stomped his foot, opening the car door and getting out. It seemed like he didn't want to stay in the same space as Wen Baiyu anymore.

  Wen Baiyu heard the "bang!" of the door closing, and only then wrinkled her nose and muttered "Wan Qi Jing Hou rotten mud fish", after which she lay down again to continue sleeping.

  Wen Baiyu indeed fell asleep as soon as he said so, and Guan Nan watched him from the side. Two hours later, the sky had already brightened, but the crowd still hadn't dug through. Xue Mu returned once with a half-circle, and as soon as she opened the car door, she saw that the little guys had slept enough and were escaping from their backpacks, doing "bad things".

  Xiao Xuemuohua was sitting on the back of a chair, swinging her little legs and laughing loudly.

  Xiao Chui Long was sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, looking at Xiao Yu Mao and Dan/Dan with a helpless expression.

  Two little rascals, Xiaoyu and Egg, took advantage of their small size and light weight to sneak up to Wen Baiyu's side. They pulled out a small rope from their backpack, combed open Wen Baiyu's hair with their hands, and tied a small braid for him.

  Wen Baiyu slept very soundly, sweating a bit, covered with a quilt, and didn't notice at all.

  Xiao Xuemai saw Xuemiao and smiled at him, waving her hand in greeting.

  Xue Suo couldn't help but smile, Guan Nan signaled him to keep his voice down, so as not to wake up Wen Baiyu.

  Xue Mu lowered his head and kissed Guan Nan's mouth, saying: "It hasn't been dug through yet, if you're tired, take a rest, you didn't sleep well last night."

  Guan Nan's face turned a little red, afraid that Wen Baiyu would wake up at this time, but he didn't need to worry at all. Wen Baiyu slept very soundly and wouldn't wake up even if there was thunder.

  The blood clot came out quickly again, and Guan Nan locked the car door to prevent others from pulling it open and seeing the little ones.

  Guan Nan locked the car door, turned her head and saw that Xiaoyu and Dan were moving quickly, dividing their labor. When Dan couldn't reach some places while sitting, Xiaoyu would flap his wings to get there.

  Wen Baiyu's hair was very soft, just like Wen Baiyu looked. Wan Xi Jinghou liked Wen Baiyu the most when she was drenched in sweat, her hair scattered and stuck to her sweaty skin. At that time, Wen Baiyu was extremely gentle, only knowing how to hold herself tightly.

  Egg/Egg put Wen Baiyu's hair on the small meat hand to touch, feeling smooth and smooth, one side laughing and using a small rope to tie a knot, tying the hair again.

  Wen Baiyu slept a bit with a stiff neck, and when she woke up, she saw Xiao Yuema and Dan/Dan sitting in front of her. The two little angels were smiling at her with their especially cute faces.

  Wen Baiyu's heart almost melted, the two little angels still struggled to kiss Wen Baiyu's cheek, and Wen Baiyu almost fainted.

  Guan Nan saw Wen Bai's head full of small braids and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha".

  Wen Baiyu didn't feel anything was wrong until now. She reached out and touched her hair, only to find a head full of braids...

  Wen Baiyu took out her phone, took a photo of herself, and suddenly felt a bit helpless. She looked at the little angel-like Xiaoyu and Egg, and said: "You two little rascals, did you do this?"

  Little Feather and Egg/Egg nodded at the same time, then pointed to the small candle dragon behind.

  Xiao Zhanlong is clearly very helpless about their "frame-up", and the egg gives a sweet smile to Xiao Zhanlong who has been scapegoated.

  Wen Baiyu helplessly undid her small braids, looked outside and found that it was already daylight.

  Wen Baiyu tied up her hair and got off the carriage to take a look outside. Wan Qi Jinghou was still busy.

  Kang Qingxue didn't want to stay with Wen Baiyu, so she set up a tent next to him and hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

  Wen Baiyu walked over, and Wan Jingshou saw him at a glance, saying: "Awake?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "I'll come help."

  They already had a big hole in front of them, with a cave inside the hole, and the cave was dug very deep. Wan Qi Jing Hou stood outside the cave, while the two fighters entered the cave to continue digging.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou saw Wen Bai Yu's face looked a bit better, not as pale as last night.

  At this moment, a "ah ah ah" sound suddenly came from the cave.

  Everyone was startled, and Kang Qingshu had just crawled out of the tent, but was frightened back in.

  A "thud thud thud" sound came from the cave, and two men rushed out with their hands flying, saying: "It's bad! It's bad! Someone is dead!"

  They said, Wan Kuang Jing Hou was the first to drill into the cave, Wen Bai Yu didn't put his heart at ease and also followed him in. Before entering, he turned his head and told Xue Su: "Don't come in, take care of the carriage."

  He was referring to those little guys at the time.

  Wen Baiyu also followed and drilled in, Lao Yan dared not drill in, so he stared at the movement of the cave entrance.

  Inside has been dug very deep, the load-bearing parts are all handled by Wan Qi Jing Hou, and other parts are either two punches/hands or Lao Yan continues to dig. The hole is dug very skillfully and doesn't seem narrow at all. Wan Qi Jing Hou quickly crawled forward, with Wen Bai Yu chasing after him from behind. Soon, he caught a whiff of a rotten smell.

  Wen Baiyu covered his mouth and nose, at this time, Wan Qi Jinghou also stopped, Wen Baiyu took a peek, almost vomiting.

  A hand stretched out from the soil, but it was already stiff. It should have been dug up when they were digging holes. Wan Qi Jing Hou used a dragon-scale spade to dig twice, and soon the corpse appeared. The corpse lay on the ground with its hands stretched forward and its neck twisted backward, as if looking back. This action was very frightening, as if something would come out of the soil pit in front at any time.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Looking at his clothes, he should also be one of the people left behind by Kang Qingshuang to watch the mine?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It seems that we have dug in the right place, but I don't know if there is anyone alive inside."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou dug out the corpse and took it out of the cave, Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu "hissed" deeply, scared to the point of being at a loss.

  It's not that Kang Qingxue and Lao Yan had never seen a dead person before, but the expressions on both of their faces were twisted and eerie, and also pale, as if they had been frightened out of their wits. Judging from their appearance, they must still be hiding many things.

  "Another... another one is dead..."

  Because time was pressing and it was unknown whether there were still people alive inside, this time Wan Jie Jing Hou personally dug the soil. In less than half an hour, Wan Jie Jing Hou came out of the pit and said: "It's already been dug through."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time they also held their breath, just like they were facing a ghostly gate.

  Everyone took down all the luggage from the car, and the little ones had already returned to their backpacks. Everyone put on their backpacks, distributed some bread for breakfast, and after eating, they prepared to go down into the cave.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou looked at Wen Bai Yu's face and saw that his complexion was not good, saying: "How is your body? Your face doesn't look too good."

  Wen Baiyu held a bread and shook her head, saying: "It's just that I'm a bit tired, no matter how much I sleep, I still can't wake up... my mouth has no taste, I don't want to eat anything..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face suddenly changed, and he said: "Bai Yu, are you...?"

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "What is it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stuck close to Wen Bai Yu's ear and smiled saying: "Is it true that you're pregnant again?"

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as he jumped up and down, rubbing his ears, saying: "How... how is this possible..."

  Wen Baiyu's heart beat faster as she thought about it and said, "It can't be true, right?"

  But Wen Baiyu doesn't feel anything yet, maybe it's because it's still too early.

  Wen Baiyu took two bites of bread and felt like he couldn't eat anymore. Wan Jingshou was afraid that if he didn't eat, he would suffer later on, so he coaxed him into eating some more. Wen Baiyu really couldn't withstand Wan Jingshou's gentle assault and was almost dizzy from being enchanted.

  Wen Baiyu ate half a bun before he suddenly realized his mistake, what kind of willpower was this, how could he fall for the same trick every time.

  Because Wen Baiyu suspected that he was in trouble again, Wan Qi Jinghou took away his backpack and carried one with Xue Su, of course, there were little guys inside. Then Wan Qi Jinghou also carried a backpack on his hand, which contained necessities, and Guan Nan also carried necessities.

  Wan Qi Jinghou just jumped onto the car roof to hit the mud man, with a gun in his hand, and did not return it to Lao Yan, but gave it to Guan Shan, letting Guan Shan use it for self-defense.

  Everyone was ready, but no one dared to take the lead, so let Wan Gui Jinghou take the lead and walk in.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou turned on the flashlight, tied it to his arm and quickly crawled into the hole. Wen Bai Yu followed behind him. Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "If you're tired, pull me."

  Wen Baiyu grunted a response, and everyone followed him crawling into the cave.

  Their hole was dug relatively deep, and after lying down for a while, they arrived at the place where they found the body. There was still a strong stench of death on the ground, extremely pungent. Not far from the body was a cave, the entrance to which had been blasted open, probably using explosives left over from Kangxi's time.

  They drilled into it from the blown-open mouth and soon entered a deep tunnel.

  Everyone came in at once, and Kang Qingshu excitedly said: "Right, right, it's here!"

  It's a tunnel with damp air. Wen Baiyu doesn't have the keen sense of hearing like An Ran, so he can't tell if there will be water ahead, but the degree of dampness is quite high.

  The tunnel was dug very roughly, after all, the mine pit is not like a tomb, the tomb requires feng shui, and the mine pit requires ore, as long as it can be mined.

  Wen Baiyu shone his light on the side and touched the rock a few times, saying: "This hole wasn't dug by you guys, was it? You must have discovered it?"

  Kang Qingshuo feared that Wen Baiyu would swallow their profits and said: "This is what we are fighting for! It's also what we discovered."

  Wan Qi Jinghou shone his flashlight on the stone wall and said, "There are at least three different mining methods on this stone wall, because they were excavated in three dynasties."

  Kang Qing's face suddenly burned, as if she had been slapped in the face.

  The pit is very deep and seems to stretch forward like an endless cave. Wen Baiyu curiously said, "Three dynasties have been mining here?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Maybe there are a lot of true precious stones, or maybe there's something else."

  Other things...

  The sentence was ambiguous, and both Kang Qingxue and Lao Yan were startled.

  Kang Qingshuo drummed up the courage to say: "What about other things?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "I know this one. It should be a type of zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling). Mines are never short of zongzi because cave-ins often occur when mining through the ages. In ancient times, mining used to be done by slaves or convicts who would be discarded in some place if they died. This place is so humid, who knows, maybe it will even reanimate corpses."

  Kang Qing was so frightened that his legs were trembling, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

  It seems that in order to verify Wen Baiyu's words, a deep laughter of "Ha... Ha... Ha..." echoed from the depths of the mine.

  The laughter was very eerie, with a pause after each laugh, stretching out the sound, as if a ghost was wailing.

  "Ahhh!!!!!!"

  Kang Qing retreated several steps in a hurry, and her high heel stepped on Lao Yan. Lao Yan was also stepped on by her and suddenly shouted "Ahhhhh".

  The "ha-ha-ha" laughter echoed three times and then disappeared, leaving only the reverberation in the mine.

  "R-really...there's zongzi?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, shone a flashlight ahead with his hand and beckoned, saying: "Take a look ahead."

  Kang Qingxue and Lao Yan, as well as the two who were fighting, did not dare to move forward, but they also did not dare to stay in place, so they followed behind the people in front of them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

  Wen Baiyu just now actually really scared Kang Qingshuai, and this time ran to Wan Qi Jinghou's side, whispering: "What is it after all?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I'm also just guessing."

  Guan Nan was also curious, so she went over to listen together. Wan Qi Jing Hou pointed at the marks on the wall and said: "The marks on the wall are very complex, with at least three different techniques used. In ancient times, mining was a huge project. Some mines took an entire dynasty to dig and were still not finished. People would continue digging inside, but the marks on the wall are strange. Logically speaking, the first group of people who discovered the mine dug one tunnel, the second group should have continued digging at the existing depth, and the third group should have done the same. However, strangely, all these marks converge together."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Isn't it mining? What are you looking for?"

  "It's possible that they were mining on one side while searching for something on the other. The width of this tunnel is quite large, and it wouldn't be necessary to make it so wide just for mining purposes. It was probably dug out by people later on, possibly in search of something, but I'm not sure what exactly."

  Wen Baiyu became even more curious, turning his head to look at the two walls. Except for some marks left by excavation, nothing else could be seen. There were also large and small holes on the wall, presumably used for detection purposes.

  Everyone kept walking in, the pit was very deep and no bodies were seen. There was no collapse inside this pit, and it was still intact.

  After walking for half an hour, Kang Qingshuo also calmed down. They had been here several times before, so they naturally knew more than Wan Jinhou and his men.

  A mine shaft goes deep, there are many forks in the road, either it was dug wrong or a change of direction.

  Wen Baiyu looked into the fork in the road, it was dark and rocky inside, the rocks had collapsed, it seemed like a dead end, probably because of the collapse when digging here, so they changed direction.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Where did you find the Blood Agate? Is it still far from here?"

  Lao Yan said: "It's still very far, and it's extremely deep before you can see it. This is really strange, we have distributed many people here, but not a single one has been seen, it's too weird! Something must have happened!"

  Lao Yan Yue's words made him more and more nervous, and Kang Qing Xue's face also became tense.

  Wen Baiyu felt that Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu actually knew there was danger inside, but they still kept acting recklessly. It must be because the profit from the blood jade was too great.

  As they walked forward, they suddenly heard the sound of "Ha——ha——ha——" again.

  Everyone was shocked and immediately stopped in their tracks. The sound of laughter came from afar, and the sound of "splash... splash... splash..." could still be heard.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his voice and said: "When you came in, was there water inside the cave?"

  Lao Yan immediately nodded and said: "There is... very shallow water, don't know where it flows from."

  That slapping sound should be something moving in the water and making it.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou signaled to the crowd not to make a sound, then quickly moved forward. Wan Kuang Jing Hou half-bent his waist, with long legs taking big strides, and soon reached the water's edge. Suddenly, there was a "splash... splash..." sound, and something about the size of a human face jumped out of the water.

  The water was dark green, and that thing was also dark green. It suddenly jumped out and pounced on Wang Jing Hou's face, letting out a loud "Hah!" as it opened its big mouth and its tongue quickly rolled out.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly leaned back, his hand with dragon scales quickly slashing down, while he kicked the thing with his leg.

  It was actually a huge frog.

  The frog's two eyes are red, its whole body is black and green skin, with a package of scabs on it. Its tongue/head was immediately cut off by General Wan Guijing and flew out in an instant.

  "Ah----" Kouyuu shouted loudly, "What fell on me!?"

  Wen Baiyu turned her head to look, and it was actually a broken tongue/head, the tongue/head still flowing with green water. Just then, she heard a "hiss" sound, and the green water splashed onto Kang Qingxue's big curly hair and clothes, instantly burning into black smoke.

  Wen Baiyu immediately took out a phoenix bone dagger and lifted Kong Qingshu's tongue/head with it, lifting it off the ground.

  The tongue/head fell to the ground and made a "hiss" sound. The ground was actually burned with a small pit, and black smoke was emitted. It is clear that the frog is toxic and has strong corrosiveness.

  Kang Qing's neck was burned by a piece of clothing because it was thin and the skin was also charred, hurting terribly.

  Wan Jie Zong Hou returned quickly, Wen Bai Yu said: "How is it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "There is only one frog, but its head is very big. Moreover, I found a mechanism in the water. This place won't be a simple mine pit. The people who came in before have already touched the mechanism, and the current environment of the mine pit has changed. So they didn't have any problems when they came in before, but now they do."

  Kang Qingshu immediately said: "That... what to do? Anyway, anyway, the people who stay inside will definitely not survive...... How about we go out?!"

  Lao Yan immediately stopped Kang Qingshuo and said: "You're confused, come here and I'll tell you..."

  Lao Yan pulled Kang Qingshu over to the side and whispered something in her ear, neither of them knew what they were conspiring about, because they feared that Wan Jie Jing Hou's hearing was too good, so their voices were extremely low.

  They were studying when Mo Jing Hou walked to the water's edge again, Wen Bai Yu Guan Nan and Xue Su also followed him over. Everyone looked into the water and it seemed like there was a mechanism here because of design issues, but it had sunk in and accumulated water.

  The water was very shallow, and Wang Zongyao stretched out his neck to gently tap the board-shaped switch with his head, but he didn't press it down. He wasn't sure if the switch was one-time use or had already been touched before, so he stopped moving.

  After ten minutes, Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu finally returned. Lao Yan said: "Alright, let's go."

  The crowd continued to move forward, and there were many forks in the road. Some of them had piles of white bones inside, while others had already collapsed.

  Lao Yan said they were walking along this main road before and just kept going until they arrived.

  The crowd continued to walk in, and did not enter those forks in the road. After walking for nearly an hour, the mine shafts continued to stretch out. Just when everyone was exhausted, they suddenly discovered that the mine shaft had changed. The tunnel became very rectangular, with a rounded top and flat bottom. The four walls were also carefully excavated, which is typical of a tomb.

  Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight on the four walls and said, "Indeed, they dug the mine into the tomb."

  Kang Qing was so frightened that he trembled and said: "What? Is this really a tomb?"

  Kang Qingxue was an antique dealer, but she had never dug up any hot antiques herself. They were all passed on to her and then resold without much effort. As soon as she heard it was a tomb, she felt a little scared.

  They walked two more steps inside and soon discovered the murals. Wen Baiyu was somewhat disappointed, as these murals were too exquisite and not from the era of the Western Queen Mother's country.

  However, golden cicadas appeared on the murals, and it is unknown what relationship they have with the Queen Mother of the West.

  The colors of these murals are very bold, with large areas being red. At a glance, you haven't even seen what the painting is, but it already feels shocking and thrilling, as if this red color can convey spirit, making one's heart beat rapidly, with a feeling of palpitations.

  The pictures drawn on both sides are the same, and Wan Zongjing said: "This is a picture of the Queen Mother of the West."

  Because the character image is very distinctive, it can be recognized at a glance, and it looks like a mural that is similar to the description in Shan Hai Jing.

  There are many murals that extend deep inside, initially reverent and worshipful, but later changing in tone, the murals depict scenes of small ghosts beheading and dismembering people.

  The first picture shows many people pushing one person, the second picture appears a wolf, the wolf's head is very big, the captured person is pushed in front of the wolf, it seems that this wolf has a very high status.

  The third one is that this man was beheaded and his hands were cut off, his hands were thrown away, and his head was presented to the wolf as a tribute. The wolf carried the human head in its mouth while eating.

  The scene is a bit bloody, especially with the main color being bright red, and the wolf's snow-white fur makes it stand out even more. The human head in the wolf's mouth still has a terrified gaze.

  Wen Baiyu looked at it with disgust and felt a wave of acid in her stomach. "What kind of mural is this?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It should be a tribe that worships the Western Queen Mother and takes the wolf as its totem, but in ancient times there were many wolf worshipers, and it can't be inferred from just these."

  Wen Baiyu turned his head and said: "These murals, were they here when you arrived?"

  Lao Yan nodded slightly.

  The crowd continued walking, and soon Wen Baiyu knew what a curse was. There were no words on the wall, but it had already been expressed in images.

  They died in various ways, some with severed heads, others with skin ripped off and muscles extracted. However, they all shared one thing in common - they were all headless. After death, their bodies would be placed in a special coffin and offered to the white wolf.

  Lao Yan said: "To be honest with you, when we came, we saw these murals and thought someone was playing a prank on us, so we didn't take it seriously and continued to move forward. Soon we discovered that something was off..."

  Lao Yan paused for a moment, then continued: "The Blood Agate is just ahead, not far from here. At the time, we saw that there were a huge number of them, so we didn't bother with these, but as we dug and dug, we actually dug up a corpse."

  "What kind of corpse."

  Lao Yan's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty and said: "No... no head, just like the mural on the wall."

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously glanced at the mural, and Old Yan continued: "We were scared at that time, later...later we continued to dig for blood amber, until our group went out to replenish supplies and came back, strange things happened...during the time we went out to replenish supplies, they actually dug up a kiln."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Kiln?"

  Lao Yan said: "It's really a kiln, the kiln mouth is open, inside it's dark and hollow. Our people crawled in to take a look, as a result... all those who crawled in died. Only loud cries could be heard coming out from inside. Later, no one dared to go in. We used iron hooks to pull out several dead bodies from inside, all of them had no heads..."

  Wen Baiyu finally understood, so Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu felt that this place was cursed, and the unexplained deaths made them think it was the work of a vengeful spirit. They wanted to invite Wan Qi Jinghou over, but if they told him the truth, he might not help them, so they kept it hidden.

  Wen Baiyu said: "You clearly know it's a dead end, yet you still want to continue digging?"

  Kang Qingxue said: "You go take a look and you'll know, so many blood jades, all of high quality, if it were you, would you be willing to give them up?"

  Wen Baiyu felt that he had no appreciation for gems and the like, but of course, life was most important, while Kang Qingxue was a typical example of wanting money but not life.

  Everyone was talking and walking in at the same time, after a while, they saw what they were talking about.

  A very large cave, it looks like a mine again here, the mural tunnel only lasted for a while and changed from tomb to mine.

  The stone walls of the cave are inlaid with various agates, which are still hidden in the stones, so their bright colors cannot be seen, and they look almost like ordinary stones.

  But a whole mountain cave, wherever there are stones, this red blood amber is inlaid inside.

  The cave was empty, with only some supplies left, and no people were found. The kiln that Old Yan had mentioned also appeared before them.

  The kiln looks very old, the kiln mouth is sealed, it should be Lao Yan and others who sealed it, it's blocked very tightly, definitely afraid that something inside will run out.

  However, Lao Yan's words just now didn't say that something ran out, but rather the people who went in mysteriously died without their heads.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced around, stretched out his hand to touch the blood amber exposed on the wall, and as soon as he rubbed it slightly, the blood amber immediately emitted a fragrance, somewhat similar to amber, but the fragrance was very strong.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit dizzy from smelling this scent, covering her nose with one hand and fanning herself with the other.

  "What's been found?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "The blood amber pendant that Kang sister is wearing, the raw material must have been dug up from this place?"

  Kang Qingxue was taken aback for a moment, then said: "How did you know? I don't even remember where I dug it from."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Dig it open and take a look, then you'll know."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said, pointing to a wall in front of him. Only a small part of the blood jade was exposed, and it seemed to have something inside, but he didn't know what it was. A large part of it was hidden behind the stone, and it had to be dug up to find out.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took out the dragon scale chisel and started tapping on the wall, the dragon scale chisel scraped against the stone, and with a "whoosh" sound, the stone was instantly scraped off like mud.

  Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu gazed at the dagger in Wan Kuang's hand, marveling at it endlessly. They seemed to be shocked, having never seen such a good dagger before. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be an antique, with no idea how much it was worth.

  Just as they were sighing in unison, Wan Jie Jing Hou turned his head and said to Wen Bai Yu: "Stand a little further away."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is there something dangerous inside?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I don't know if he is dead or alive."

  As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked and frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat.

  Wen Baiyu took a step back, and Wan Jingshou continued to dig at the wall face. Soon, the blood jasper was exposed, revealing one corner of an iceberg. Unexpectedly, this piece of blood jasper was so enormous that even after five minutes of digging, Wan Jingshou still hadn't uncovered its original appearance.

  Lao Yan and Kang Qingshu's faces gradually lit up with excitement, such a large piece of raw jade, so intact, with something inside, it must be worth a good price.

  But gradually, no one could laugh anymore. Some people held their breath, some breathed faster and faster, and some turned pale.

  Only then did Wan Xi Jing Hou peel away the rocks, and in front of everyone appeared a huge piece of blood amber, and inside the blood amber was actually a person!

  A dead person...

  The dead man was wearing nothing, in a kneeling position, stuck in the blood amber, the corpse was preserved very well, just like a red ice sculpture.

  The corpse's right hand index finger was missing two joints, Kang Qingxue let out a cry of "Ah——", suddenly remembering what Wan Qi Jinghou had said, that the pendant on her necklace was excavated from this very place, and it wasn't some kind of "Buddha's hand" at all, but rather the tip of a dead person's finger!

  Kang Qing was so frightened that she almost went mad, retreating several steps back. With a loud "thud", she bumped into the stone at the kiln's entrance. The sealed stone was extremely solid, and her violent collision didn't leave any cracks. The kiln's entrance remained tightly sealed.

  But just at this moment, I suddenly heard "knock knock..." two sounds, like the sound of a door, and it was knocking from inside to outside.

  Kang Qingxue let out a loud cry of "Ah!", pointing at the kiln mouth and saying: "There's a ghost... there's a ghost..."

  "Knock, knock......"

  "Knock..."

  "Knock knock..."

  That sound was very small, but it really existed, constantly knocking against the stone that sealed the cave entrance.

  "Knock!"

  A loud noise, the stone sealing the kiln mouth actually moved a bit, Old Yan was so scared that he almost died, suddenly raised his gun and fired at the stone fiercely, shouting: "What kind of ghost thing go to death!!"

  He fired several shots in a row, and the gun was very powerful. Suddenly, stones flew everywhere, splashing all over the place. "Bang!" A stone burst, and then a black shadow rushed out of the kiln mouth and pounced on Old Yan.

  A dark shadow rushed out, everything was quiet, Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, and it turned out to be a headless corpse. Moreover, the corpse was wearing a suit, but because there was no head, it was impossible to tell who it was.

  "Ahahahaha!!! It's him!!!"

  Lao Yan let out a loud cry and suddenly pulled something out, throwing it out. Wan Xi Jing Hou shouted: "Bai Yu, get down!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't react in time and immediately fell to the ground, it turned out that it was an explosive, Lao Yan had already been scared silly. Although the stone cave wasn't small, using explosives in this kind of space with the glutinous rice balls so close, was simply suicidal!

  "Rumble..." A loud noise, the mine immediately shook, debris fell from above, Xue Mu held the backpack tightly in his arms and grabbed Guan Nan.

  Wen Baiyu crashed to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his stomach. Just as he was about to get up, he fell down again. A loud "buzzing" sound filled his ears, and the massive explosion made him feel dizzy and nauseous.

  Wen Baiyu seemed to hear Wan Jingshou calling him, but due to his ear problem, the scene in front of him was spinning and he felt a sense of dizziness. Suddenly, with a loud "rumble", the ground beneath Wen Baiyu's feet collapsed, and Kang Qingshuang and Lao Yan shouted together as they also fell down.

  Wen Baiyu fell into the pit and immediately lost consciousness.

  Wen Baiyu fell into darkness, feeling dizzy and swollen-headed, but suddenly woke up. He lifted his head to look around and found that he was no longer in the same cave as before. He didn't know where he was, but it seemed more like a tomb chamber. There were broken stones all around him, but he wasn't crushed by them.

  Wen Baiyu moved her hands and legs, suddenly feeling unwell, struggling to sit up and take a look, only to see that her hands were tied behind her back, her feet were also bound, and beside her were only Lao Yan and Kang Qingshuang, with no one else in sight.

  Kang Qing's face was covered in dirt and he looked extremely exhausted, but he smiled and said: "Don't worry, we've fallen down, the road above is blocked to death, no one can come down."

  Wen Baiyu listened to her speak with a tone that was off, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly struggled violently, trying to break free from the rope, but unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted force, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and instantly broke out in cold sweat...

  Wen Baiyu's heart was racing with fear, Old Yan held a syringe in his hand and walked towards Wen Baiyu.

  "What are you going to do?"

  Kang Qingxue smiled and said, "We didn't want to do this either, but we had no choice. Unfortunately, you guys didn't see all the murals, there are also murals at the fork in the road, which is the method to break the curse. If we want to get out alive, we must use sacrifices to worship the wolf god."

  Kang Qingshuo said: "Anyway, we're all going to die. We'll give you some anesthesia so that you can die more comfortably."

  Lao Yan immediately pounced over, wanting to stab him with a needle. Wen Baiyu's hands suddenly exerted force, "Pa!" A circle of flames appeared on his wrist, instantly cutting off the rope, and he grasped Lao Yan's wrist.

  Those two people obviously didn't think that Wen Baiyu could actually break the rope, Lao Yan was caught by him holding his wrist, Wen Baiyu's strength was unexpectedly big.

  Wen Baiyu's face was covered in cold sweat, his teeth clenched as he grasped Lao Yan's hand tightly. The needle darted back and forth between the two of them. Lao Yan had a much greater physical strength than Wen Baiyu, who had used up all his spiritual energy earlier and now couldn't muster any more, relying solely on brute force. Suddenly, his hands began to shake.

  Lao Yan saw that Wen Baiyu's physical strength was failing, and he sneered. Just as he was about to push the needle forward, he didn't expect Wen Baiyu to be pretending. Wen Baiyu took advantage of Lao Yan's mistake and quickly twisted his arm, stabbing the needle into his collarbone. The skin on his collarbone was so thin that Lao Yan let out a loud cry and immediately loosened his grip. Wen Baiyu quickly pressed the syringe, injecting all the liquid inside into him. It was unclear what it was, but Lao Yan immediately fell to the ground, fainting.

  Wen Baiyu hadn't even had time to relax when suddenly a sharp pain shot through the back of his neck. Before he could react, Kang Qingxue pounced on him, the needle piercing the skin at the base of his neck. A faintly cool sensation spread through his body, which immediately went numb. His dizziness intensified.

  Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand and grabbed Kang Qingshu's hand, pulling him over from behind. Just as Kang Qingshu was about to curse, he saw Wen Baiyu's eyes turn blood red. Wen Baiyu's eyes changed from black to a fiery color, as if flames were dancing inside them.

  Kang Qingxue didn't have time to speak, and was suddenly thrown to the ground, hitting her head on a rock, and immediately fainted.

  The surroundings are a tomb chamber, in front of which is an open coffin, with wolf totems on both sides and a huge golden cicada totem. The front of the tomb chamber leads to a pitch-black tomb passage.

  Wen Baiyu panted heavily, feeling like the sky was spinning, and struggled to get up from the ground. She quickly fell back down, her stomach aching in pain. With great difficulty, she crawled forward again, taking a few more steps before reaching back to touch the needle hole on the back of her neck. Exhausted, she panted heavily once more before finally collapsing onto the ground, stars spinning wildly before her eyes as her consciousness began to fade...
