Looking into his eyes, Tian Siyao realized that this businessman seemed even more mysterious than he appeared.

"Have you seen anyone else? Is there any danger in this place?" Her voice trembled slightly.

Mu Wuling was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It seems that this place is indeed unusual."

“I’ve also encountered some strange things, but so far I haven’t met anyone else, so there shouldn’t be any danger here right now.”

Although Mu Wuling said it was safe, Tian Siyao felt a fear spreading in her heart.

Either this place is truly dangerous, or... those two corpses are the real source of danger.

She suppressed her deep-seated fear and decided to investigate the matter further.

“I am somewhat interested in the ancient tomb artifacts you are selling, but could you tell us what happened when they were discovered?” Tian Siyao asked firmly.

Mu Wuling looked at Tian Siyao and hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to tell them the truth.

"Well, actually I found these two bodies yesterday in a foggy cave."

"I was returning from treasure hunting in an ancient tomb when I suddenly discovered the entrance to the cave."

"After I entered the cave, I was enveloped by a sinister and terrifying aura."

"At the time, I heard a sharp scream and followed the sound to find them."

Tian Siyao frowned, trying to understand what Mu Wuling was saying.

"So what did you see? Did anything else strange happen in this cave?" she pressed.

Mu Wuling shook his head. "My memory is somewhat confused now."

"After entering the fork in the road covered with cobwebs, I could no longer clearly recall any more details."

Tian Siyao felt even more uneasy, knowing that the matter was becoming increasingly complicated.

And it gradually became associated with the Witch God, the Fog Extreme Earth Vein, and the Cloud Temple.

"What proof do you have that this has nothing to do with you?" she asked, looking at the mysterious businessman before her.

Mu Wuling said, "Let me put it this way, if I had done this, I would never have been able to sell a single item in my entire life."

This is indeed a deadly oath for a businessman.

Tian Siyao temporarily put aside her suspicions about him, and her intuition also told her that the two of them were indeed unrelated to Mu Wuling.

Her intuition was always accurate, and the appearance of these two corpses instantly complicated the situation even more.

Seeing her resolute expression, Qin Miyue and Chen Ze knew that the challenges they faced would become even more difficult and dangerous. After reporting the incident to the police and explaining the situation to the relevant authorities, the two bodies were taken away for investigation.

Two days later.

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze followed Mu Wuling to the place where he was displaying his collection.

The area is filled with precious artifacts unearthed from various ancient tombs, exuding a rich historical atmosphere.

The room was filled with many pure gold vessels, jade pendants, porcelain, and bronzes.

In the display case, there was also a uniquely shaped, sparkling jade pendant that aroused everyone's even greater interest.

"These cultural relics look really good," Tian Siyao praised sincerely.

Mu Wuling smiled and nodded, "It is precisely because of these cultural relics that many collectors and archaeologists have come to exchange ideas."

“Each piece has a profound historical background and is extraordinary.”

Tian Siyao looked at her expectantly, "Sir, do you know the specific origin and value of these cultural relics?"

Mu Wuling smiled and replied, "Of course I understand. These artifacts were all excavated from ancient tombs in various places."

"Of course it's legal now, I paid a lot of money for it."

"For example, this jade pendant came from a sealed ancient tomb."

According to legend, those who wear it can gain mysterious powers.

Qin Miyue listened intently, and a stronger sense of curiosity welled up in her heart.

"This jade pendant looks really special. May I take a closer look?" Mu Wuling smiled and handed the jade pendant to Qin Miyue.

Qin Miyue held the jade pendant and examined it carefully, discovering that the surface of the pendant had intricate patterns and emitted a faint glow.

"It looks like a very rare artifact with high historical value."

“I have seen similar jade pendants in books, but I have never seen the real thing in person.”

Tian Siyao and Chen Ze also gathered around, listening together.

"There seem to be some special symbols on this jade pendant."

Pointing to the patterns carved on it, Tian Siyao said, "Based on my observation, these symbols represent opposing concepts such as life, death, yin, and yang."

“They may represent some kind of spell or mechanism, and these symbols seem to be somewhat similar to the previous ones.”

Qin Miyue focused on the details of the pattern.

"Does anyone have any speculations?" Chen Ze asked immediately.

Tian Siyao frowned. "According to the Witch God, we have come into contact with the Fog Extreme Earth Vein and encountered some strange things."

“This jade pendant might be related to that.” At this moment, Mu Wuling brought up a matter concerning the tomb raiders’ madness.

As Tian Siyao listened to Mu Wuling's story, a sense of fear and unease rose in her heart.

She tried hard to find a way to solve the problem.

After all, they will face similar situations in their upcoming expeditions.

"Mr. Mu, regarding the incident of the tomb raiders going mad that you just mentioned, has anyone else experienced a similar situation?" Tian Siyao asked cautiously.

Mu Wuling frowned slightly, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Yes, this is not an isolated case."

“In the past few years, I have heard of many cases where tomb raiders suddenly lost their minds and killed each other.”

"Many people believe this is because the tomb raiders touched some kind of mysterious power."

Tian Siyao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She knew that people often faced danger and the unknown on the road to discovering the secrets and treasures of ancient tombs.

Although they are filled with curiosity about mysterious powers, they must not let their guard down.

Qin Miyue noticed the tension in Tian Siyao's expression. "We need to know more details to find out the cause of all this."

"Mr. Mu, please tell us in detail what happened when the tomb raiders went mad."

Mu Wuling nodded, his eyes flashing with recollection: "These two tomb raiders came from different organizations, but both possessed unparalleled strength and experience."

"They entered an ancient tomb, preparing to search for a legendary treasure."

However, during their exploration, they suddenly began to hallucinate.

Tian Siyao frowned. "A hallucination? What kind of hallucination?"

Mu Wuling took a deep breath. "According to eyewitness accounts, they saw many terrifying and distorted scenes, as if they had stepped into a nightmare world."

"They were chased by all sorts of monsters and besieged by evil spirits, losing their minds in despair and chaos."

Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a sense of vigilance rising within him.

"This may be a manifestation of the ancient tomb's self-protection mechanism."

Tian Siyao's eyes hardened. "No matter what caused the tomb raiders to go mad, we cannot let our guard down."

Qin Miyue stared at Mu Wuling, "Do you know how to deal with illusions and mysterious forces?"

Mu Wuling frowned. "I've thought about this question too."

"I speculate that these hallucinations may be related to the original power of the ancient tomb." (End of Chapter)
