The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the old foreigner suppressed a laugh and said something.

Hearing the old foreigner's teasing, Hua's face turned even redder, and she punched the old foreigner in annoyance.

Partridge Whistle smiled, patted Fang Yun on the shoulder, and continued:

"Brother Fang, you've been sleeping for two hours."

“You have fought two battles and are injured. We did not want to disturb you, but it is already night. If we do not leave now, we may run into poisonous insects that come out of the mountains to hunt for food.”

"The poison of that six-winged centipede should not be underestimated. Once we leave Ping Mountain, let Hua give you a thorough treatment."

“Indeed, we have also found quite a few precious medicines and pills this time. After we return to Chen Family Village, we will have Miss Hua select some for Brother Fang to use for healing.”

Chen Yulou added with a smile.

During this trip to Ping Mountain, we found countless gold and jade treasures; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a gold mine.

He needs to seize the opportunity to solidify his relationship with Fang Yun.

With the help of tomb raiders, finding tombs is a piece of cake.

Moreover, Fang Yun, a tomb raider who is skilled in both literature and martial arts, is a walking treasure trove. On this trip, Fang Yun took on almost everything, handling all the dangerous and difficult tasks.

It would be a huge loss not to befriend such a capable person.

After chatting for a while, the five of them left the main hall and prepared to return the way they came.

Before leaving, Fang Yun took one last look around the main hall.

As expected, everything related to money was completely removed, even the purple-gold coffin was taken away, and the corpse of the Yuan Dynasty Corpse King was nowhere to be found.

After inquiring, they learned that the corpse of the Corpse King had been burned by Chen Yulou's men.

Although Partridge Whistle did not find the Muchen Pearl here, he did receive news about it.

According to Partridge Whistle's plan, he intended to rest in Chen Family Village for a few days with his junior brothers and sisters, and then set off immediately to find the Blackwater City of Western Xia.

Fang Yun understood, but said nothing.

Given Partridge Whistle's personality, even if he were to tell Partridge Whistle now that the Muchen Pearl is not in Blackwater City of Western Xia, but in the Tomb of King Xian of Yunnan, Partridge Whistle wouldn't believe it too much.

After all, Partridge Whistle would rather believe the clues he saw with his own eyes than his 'guess' which had no real evidence.

At this moment, Fang Yun noticed that Hua was not following Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner, but was walking behind him with her head down.

Seeing this, Fang Yun grinned, stopped in his tracks, and turned around.

boom..

With a soft sound, the flower bumped directly into Fang Yun.

"you.."

Hua raised her head, about to say something, but when she saw Fang Yun's ambiguous smile, her face flushed, and she was about to step past Fang Yun.

But the next moment, she found that Fang Yun had grabbed his hand.

Thinking that her two senior brothers were not far ahead, Hua felt a pang of shame and tried to pull her hand away, but found that she was no match for Fang Yun.

After thinking about it, she let Fang Yun hold her hand, but she felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.

Holding Hua's hand, Fang Yun walked along, sighing with admiration.

That's just how times have changed...

If a girl blushes at you and lets you touch her, it means she reciprocates your feelings.

In my past life, let alone touching faces and holding hands, even sleeping together was impossible. Once you put on clothes, who would recognize you?

As they passed a corner, the two encountered Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and the old foreigner who were waiting there.

The three of them laughed when they saw Fang Yun and Hua holding hands.

"Congratulations, Brother Fang, on winning the heart of your beauty!"

Chen Yulou cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said with a smile, then added:

"Brother Fang, there's something important I forgot to tell you earlier."

"I have ascertained the truth of what Brother Fang said outside the treasure-hiding iron tower. My family and men are on their way and are expected to arrive at Ping Mountain tomorrow."

"Let us rest in the mountains for the night."

After listening to Chen Yulou's explanation, Fang Yun understood.

Chen Yulou refers to Ma Zhengbang's group, who were waiting outside Ping Mountain to ambush Ma Zhengbang.

The Chen family was an absolute local tyrant in Hunan. Over three generations, they held the position of leader of the Xieling clan for three consecutive years.

By the time of Chen Yulou's generation.

The Chen family already controlled over 100,000 bandits and thieves across 63 provinces in the south and north, and secretly supported several warlord factions. Their strength and background were extremely profound.

Calling him a powerful and ruthless ruler is no exaggeration.

If Ma Zhenbang were caught by the Chen family's main force, he would have absolutely no chance of escaping.

However, he was not interested in military campaigns and fighting, nor did he want to get involved in such matters, so he agreed and decided to spend the night in the mountains.

(I've only written three chapters so far, but I'll have at least five tomorrow. I've already figured out the outline for the next volume.)

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Taking Stock of the Gains

By the time the five returned to the front hall at the foot of the mountain, it was already completely dark outside.

Besides the glass lamps along the bluestone path inside the cave, dozens of torches were lit, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime.

Chen Yulou had previously arranged for people to clean up the front hall, sweeping away all the original centipede and rooster corpses.

To prevent the poison from retaliating, countless antidote powders were scattered in the front hall, turning the floor into a snow-covered landscape with footprints at every step.

The roosters that survived were all taken back to the front hall. The angry-eyed rooster, which was hit by the six-winged centipede, was actually unharmed. After taking a nap, it was full of energy and hopping around again.

At this moment, the Angry Sun Chicken was leading a group of ordinary roosters in circles by the mountain wall, seemingly wanting to catch a few more 'snacks' to eat.

In the center of the main hall, there were more than fifty bamboo baskets filled with the harvest from Ping Mountain.

Gold and jade funerary objects, precious medicines and elixirs, ancient books and prescriptions... everything is available.

Chen Yulou wasn't stingy at all, saying that Fang Yun and his two fellow disciples could take whatever they wanted.

Firstly, Fang Yun and Partridge Whistle both contributed significantly more than Xieling this time, and he couldn't allow his subordinates and fellow travelers to gossip about them.

Secondly, there's the matter of interpersonal relationships. Chen Yulou intends to cultivate a deep friendship with Fang Yun and Partridge Whistle, even hoping they can join his ranks and become his right-hand men, working together to make a name for themselves in this chaotic world.

However, both Fang Yun and Partridge Whistle politely declined.

Their ambitions lie elsewhere. No matter how much they give or how nicely they speak, it's all for nothing. They have plenty of money and fame.

.........

Late at night, most people had gone to sleep, with only a few of the night watchmen chatting idly at the entrance of the tomb.

Only then did Fang Yun begin to take stock of his gains.

"System, receive the mission reward!"

"Ding! Rewards being distributed."

The next moment, a bulletproof vest appeared in Fang Yun's hand.

Upon closer inspection... well... it was a bulletproof vest he couldn't recognize.

In his previous life, he had played many shooting games, but he could only recognize firearms and knew nothing about bulletproof vests.

However, since it's something given by the system, it shouldn't be too bad. It should at least be on par with a pistol like the M500 in terms of power.

This setup is quite complete, and it can be disassembled. When you put it all on, it's like wearing a high-necked bulletproof T-shirt, plus a bulletproof... groin protector... How thoughtful!

[Host: Fang Yun]

【Age: 22】

[Skills: Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique, Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper, Bajiquan, Seven Star Fist, Keen Perception, Abundant Stamina, Master of Firearms, Master of Pharmacology, Tomb Raiding Encyclopedia, Excellent Hearing and Seeing...]

[Bloodline: Qilin Bloodline]

Looking at the panel again now, it does look much better, and there's even a new bloodline category.

Look at these extra categories...maybe he'll have a chance to acquire other strange bloodlines in the future!

Only now can he truly be considered to have entered the realm of all-around excellence.

At least, when going into the tomb, we no longer have to be cautious and timid, and we don't have to use pistols and black donkey hooves to deal with the zombies.

With the power of Kui Xing kicking the Dipper and the blood of the Qilin by his side, no great demon or old zombie without a thousand years of cultivation could possibly be his match.

Ordinary poisonous insects and small rice dumplings would be terrified if they even touched a drop of his blood.

Besides the rewards from the three missions, the treasures in this tomb are also priceless.

Leaving aside those pills whose effects are unknown, a dozen or so inner core beast treasures are priceless treasures.

He now possesses five powerful demon cores, the weakest of which is from a six-winged centipede.
