I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2317 The Harvest Boss
The large tabby cat seemed to understand Liu Jun's gaze. It narrowed its eyes slightly, then skillfully manipulated the body of the deity, crawling over on all fours.

This scene made Liu Jun's lips twitch slightly, and he couldn't help but think to himself: If this god knew that his body would be used like this after he died, he would hide his body in a place where no one could find him before he died, so as not to suffer such "humiliation".

"Brother Cat," Liu Jun said, suppressing a laugh, "I'd like to go deep into the Valley of Burial Gods. Could you show me the way?"

Clearly, Cat wasn't quite used to controlling the god's body yet; it opened its mouth but couldn't make a sound. However, the clever cat quickly pointed in a certain direction, its meaning clear: I can lead the way.

Seeing how righteous Cat Brother was, Liu Jun was overjoyed. After Cat Brother settled his people, he followed Cat Brother on his journey to the depths of Burial God Valley.

Cat Brother controlled the God's body and led the way. Although the God's body was quite burly and strong, it was exceptionally agile under Cat Brother's control.

Moreover, the biggest advantage is that the aura of the deity is so strong that no ferocious beast within a radius of dozens of miles dares to come and provoke him.

For the first time, Liu Jun had a profound and unforgettable understanding of the vastness of Burial God Valley. At his and Cat Brother's speed, traveling a thousand miles a day was no problem. Yet, they raced from dawn till dusk, but still failed to reach the depths of Burial God Valley.

The scenery along the way became increasingly desolate and lonely, as if the breath of life had been quietly wiped out, leaving only a deathly silence.

Now, looking around, the once vibrant greenery has vanished, and the towering trees are nowhere to be found. In its place lies endless yellow sand and scattered pebbles.

"Why do I feel my mood getting heavier and heavier?" Liu Jun frowned, his unease growing wildly like weeds in his heart.

He looked around, trying to find a glimmer of hope in the desolation, but could only feel an increasingly oppressive atmosphere.

"Meow, meow..." Cat seemed to sense Liu Jun's emotional fluctuations. It skillfully controlled the body of the deity to turn around and pointed its paw at the sky above.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun looked up, and in an instant, his pupils contracted sharply—the sky in this place had completely turned scarlet, as if it had been stained with blood, exuding an ominous aura.

He looked up again, gazing in the direction they had come from. In the distance, above the valley, the sky remained a pure azure, creating a stark and eerie contrast with the scarlet before him.

These two skies are like the Yellow River and the sea; although they merge on the horizon, they maintain their distinct boundaries and do not infringe upon each other.

Liu Jun was startled, realizing that the scarlet sky seemed to possess some kind of magic, subtly influencing his mood and filling his heart with heaviness and unease.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, but the feeling of oppression lingered and wouldn't go away.

"Meow." Cat pointed ahead with his paw, then quickly turned back and pointed to the path they had come from.

Looking into Cat Brother's bright eyes, Liu Jun immediately understood. Cat Brother was asking him: whether he wanted to continue forward or turn back.

"We've come this far, wouldn't it be too cowardly and cowardly to turn back now?" Liu Jun grinned.

"Admit defeat?" You must be joking. Those two words don't even exist in Liu Jun's dictionary.

"Meow~" Cat seemed to sense Liu Jun's determination and let out a soft meow, its voice carrying a hint of approval. Then, it took another step forward to clear the way for Liu Jun.

As time passed, the surrounding scenery began to change again. The sand and stones that were originally there now took on an eerie blood-red color, almost merging with the red sky.

Liu Jun's mood grew increasingly oppressive along with the eerie scenery. He felt a nameless fear and unease quietly growing in his heart, as if some invisible force was tightly gripping his throat.

Perhaps the divine body that Cat Brother used had such strong defensive capabilities that it isolated him from all external dangers, so Cat Brother was not affected at all.

"Brother Cat, take a break." Liu Jun finally stopped, clutching his chest where he felt a throbbing in his heart.

He knew that if things continued like this, there would probably be problems.

Cat seemed to understand Liu Jun's feelings. It slowly stopped and turned around gracefully.

Then, Cat Brother stretched out a paw—no, it should be God's hand—and gently ruffled the pebbles on the ground, as if to tell Liu Jun, "Friend, try to distract yourself; it might make things much better."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun was taken aback at first, then nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then rummaged through his storage space to find a smart tablet.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jun's fingers danced across the screen, tapping a few times. Then, a slightly shy yet amusing, inappropriate sound for children quietly escaped from the tablet, sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

Cat's expression instantly became complicated. A hint of surprise flashed in its eyes, then transformed into a strange, meaningful smile. It was clearly aware of the sudden "background music," but simply endured it silently without making any comment.

"Uh... Brother Cat, you know what I mean?" Liu Jun realized his lapse in composure, a blush of embarrassment appearing on his face, and asked tentatively.

Cat Brother didn't respond directly, only rolling his eyes slightly, his expression a mixture of helplessness and tolerance, before continuing his journey. As for Liu Jun, this unexpected "accompaniment" miraculously calmed his agitation and unease. The palpitations that had surged like a tide were now masked by this sudden "noise," replaced by an unprecedented peace and relief.

The two, a human and a cat, moved with light steps and soon arrived at the outside of a jaw-droppingly large cave.

Why is this cave described as enormous? Because standing before it makes you feel incredibly small.

The cave is at least five or six hundred meters high, seemingly piercing the clouds; and its width is equally astonishing, so vast that it's unimaginable. Let alone a few people walking in, even four or five enormous transport planes flying in side-by-side wouldn't feel crowded at all.

However, what is even more chilling is the decoration outside the cave and the inscriptions carved on it.

Scattered around the cave are countless skeletons, some intact and some broken, seemingly telling tales of past tragedy and devastation.

At the very top of the cave, several words were carved in some ancient and mysterious script. The characters were faded and mottled, yet they exuded a chilling aura.

Liu Jun took a few steps back before he could finally see the words on it: "Ru Shou Tomb".

His face was instantly filled with shock, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"What? This is the grave of a big shot?" Liu Jun muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

He was well aware of the legends and renown of Ru Shou, the deity who ruled the west among the Five Elements and was revered as the God of the West. In the Five Elements theory, the west represents metal, and Geng and Xin belong to metal. Metal is strongest in autumn, therefore Ru Shou was also given the titles of God of Metal and God of Autumn. Furthermore, legend has it that he wielded the power of punishment, making him a fearsome god of punishment.

The image of Ru Shou appeared in Liu Jun's mind: a human face and tiger claws, extremely fierce; a nimble snake was wrapped around his left ear, and he held an axe tightly in his hand, which was a symbol of his power; he rode two majestic dragons, soaring in the sky, surveying his territory.

Standing before the tomb of this ancient deity, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity and awe. Gazing at the deep cave entrance, his heart was filled with curiosity and speculation.

He didn't know what secrets this cave held, or whether Ru Shou's remains rested there. Or perhaps, what coveted treasure lay hidden within.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a low whistling sound seemed to come from the cave entrance, like the breathing of Ru Shou in his slumber.

"Go in!" Although Cat Brother didn't speak, he pointed his finger deep into the cave without hesitation, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer—it was time to go in.

"Let's go!" Liu Jun followed closely behind, his tone firm.

As an underground worker with many years of experience in tomb raiding, Liu Jun understood that although this big shot's tomb was fraught with danger, as the old saying goes, "high risk means high reward."

Since the returns are high, it's worth the risk.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Liu Jun took a deep breath. He had already arrived here and was standing in front of the gate to the treasure. There was absolutely no reason to turn back.

Upon entering Ru Shou's tomb, Liu Jun discovered that it was a completely different world inside. Unlike the desolation and gloom of the outside world, it seemed to be a magical underground world, with a huge underground cave system unfolding before his eyes.

Looking around, you see stalactites of all shapes and colors, hanging from the cave ceiling or standing on the ground, like exquisite works of art, which are breathtaking.

Just then, the AI-powered No. 1, which had been quiet all day, suddenly floated out. Its triangular body hovered in the air, emitting a faint red light, like a beacon illuminating this mysterious underground cavern.

Immediately afterwards, a red light emanated from the AI-powered No. 1, scanning the entire underground cave system.

"Great, this is it, it's deep inside!" The voice of AI-powered One echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of excitement and exhilaration.

Clearly, this was the destination that brought Liu Jun here; they hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Hearing AI-Powered One's words, Liu Jun felt an indescribable surge of excitement. He knew he was getting closer and closer to the treasure of the tycoon Ru Shou.

Just then, the stalactites on the cave ceiling seemed unable to bear the weight of time and fell down like a torrential rain, making a deafening roar.

Each stalactite is like a work of art meticulously sculpted by nature, but at this moment, they transform into dangerous weapons, instantly turning the entire cave into a place fraught with peril.

Liu Jun and Cat Brother, one human and one cat, were quick-witted and agile. Almost the instant the stalactites began to fall, they found a relatively hidden corner.

They pressed themselves against the cave wall, staring in astonishment at the incredible sight before them.

Then, an even more astonishing and chilling scene unfolded. As the stalactites that had fallen to the ground shattered, figures began to emerge from them.

These figures were huddled among the rubble, as if they had been imprisoned for a long time. But when they slowly crawled out of the rubble, Liu Jun and Cat Brother were horrified to discover that these people were still alive!
Their faces were contorted, their eyes vacant, and their movements stiff and slow, just like zombies in a movie. They emitted strange howls that echoed through the cave, filling the entire space with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
