Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

He glanced at the two corpses beside him, the "Old Lady White" and the rabbit spirit, and felt a pang of dissatisfaction and regret.

"Hong Gu." She handed the ear of the rat-shaped object to Hong Gu, "After you go back, repair the body and then pick a day to bury it."

They also picked up the corpses of the white fox spirit and the rabbit spirit from the ground.

The corpses of spirits that have become sentient are quite valuable.

This is the end.

The matter was finally resolved without major incident.

"Shall we go back?" Hong Guniang asked Li Xiaohu tentatively, supporting Chen Yulou.

Yin Xinyue suddenly spoke up, "The rascal cat hasn't come back yet."

Only then did a few people react.

Erhu and Yaohu have been chasing after them for some time now.

Just saying.

Suddenly, several sharp meows came from afar!

Li Xiaohu knew something was wrong as soon as he heard that, and his expression darkened!

"Oh no, we've run into other people!"

He blew a "retreat" whistle and then turned and ran towards the two cats.

Chen Yulou and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed.

The group quickly made their way through the layers of bushes.

They soon encountered Erhu and Yaohu, who had rushed back.

But then the weeds behind them suddenly parted!

Three people wearing straw hats and raincoats jumped out and came face to face with them!

Chen Yulou immediately asked warily:

"Stop!"

"Who are you?!"

Chapter Thirty-Six - The Mountain-Moving Bandit Leader, Partridge Whistle! (Seeking flowers and reviews~)

The man in the straw hat did not reply.

Instead, he glanced at the two round-tailed tigers that had stopped at Li Xiaohu's feet and asked, "Are these two cats yours?"

Li Xiaohu nodded and replied, "Yes."

The three men in straw hats exchanged glances, then said:

"I encountered these two cats while traveling. They seemed to possess extraordinary intelligence. I initially thought they were stray cats and was planning to adopt them."

"I didn't expect it to have an owner. Sorry for disturbing you."

Chen Yulou frowned, remaining vigilant, and continued to ask:

"What urgent matter is it for you three gentlemen to be traveling through the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night?"

To know.

Chen Yulou set up roadblocks within a hundred miles of Laoxiong Ridge, prohibiting outsiders from entering.

Where did these three people come from?

The leader, a man in a straw hat, answered without hesitation: "My two brothers and I happened to pass through Xiangyin and heard that there was a white demon called 'Old Lady White' who was harming people by using the light of the broken stele in the ancient temple."

"I rushed here overnight in the rain, intending to get rid of him!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, not as if he were lying.

"Then you're too late." The girl in red said proudly, holding up the corpse of the white fox spirit. "We've already gotten rid of it."

The man in the straw hat lifted his hat and asked in surprise, "Oh?"

"There are two?"

As he spoke, a person behind him stepped forward and lifted up a yellow and white raccoon carcass.

It was clearly the yellow and white fox spirit that had just escaped.

Chen Yulou suddenly felt that the newcomer's face looked somewhat familiar, so he stepped forward and tentatively began to read:

"On Changsheng Mountain stands a tall building, where heroes from all directions gather; dragons and phoenixes symbolize friendship, and the waters of the five lakes and four seas surge forth."

The man in the straw hat was taken aback by what he heard.

Then he slowly removed his hood, reciting:

"To pluck the stars, one must ask the God of Literature; to move mountains, one must not move Everlasting Mountain: the incense burned is for dragons and phoenixes, and the water drunk is from the five lakes and four seas."

After removing his straw hat, a pair of handsome, yet weathered faces were revealed.

"Brother Partridge Whistle?!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yulou was overjoyed!

"It really is you!"

"Brother Chen!" The two embraced each other excitedly, as if they had been separated for a long time.

They embraced for a long time before reluctantly parting.

Chen Yulou asked excitedly, "Brother Partridge Whistle, why didn't you tell me you were coming to western Hunan?"

Partridge Whistle shook his head and smiled, "My two fellow disciples and I originally planned to go to Yunnan to explore the ancient tomb of the Yelang King. We just happened to pass by this place, so we didn't want to bother Brother Chen."

Chen Yulou waved his hand and said, "Not at all!"

As he spoke, he noticed the two people behind him and asked curiously, "Brother Partridge Whistle, who are these two?"

The partridge whistle led the people forward.

The two removed their straw hats, revealing themselves to be a man and a woman.

The man had curly hair and didn't look like a Han Chinese, while the woman looked like a Han Chinese, with a particularly cute and youthful face.

Partridge Whistle introduced them one by one: "This is my junior brother, Old Foreigner, and my junior sister, Flower Spirit."

Chen Yulou then led Li Xiaohu and the others forward and introduced them.

"This is Miss Hong, Chen's deputy."

"This is Li Xiaohu, the outside helper I invited, along with Miss Yin Xinyue."

Partridge Whistle glanced at Li Xiaohu with surprise and asked, "This one..."

"Isn't that the guy with the 20 million bounty on his head recently?"

He was also a member of the bandits, so he naturally knew about the major events that had recently occurred in the underworld.

He then asked Chen Yulou with some curiosity, "That's twenty million silver dollars! Brother Chen, why didn't you send him to Beiping to claim the reward?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Guniang instinctively shielded Li Xiaohu behind her and looked warily at Partridge Whistle.

Li Xiaohu gestured to her that she didn't need to do that, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

It seems that I have made a name for myself.

But no one knows its name.

Chen Yulou smiled and explained, "Brother Partridge Whistle, you are unaware of this."

"This little tiger brother is incredibly skilled. He has the ability to recognize cats and dogs and control spirits. He was the key to my theft of the Bottle Mountain this time!"

"When we break through Ping Mountain, the spoils will be far more than just a few; they could amount to dozens of 20 million?"

Partridge Whistle glanced apologetically at Li Xiaohu and said with a smile, "Since you are able to subdue the four spirit cats at your feet, you must be a person of great ability."

"I was just joking, please forgive me."

After saying this, he put his bamboo hat back on and bid farewell to Chen Yulou: "Brother Chen, I'll be taking my leave now."

"If fate allows, we'll have a proper chat another day!"

Chen Yulou quickly tried to persuade him to stay.

He had been trying to contact Partridge Whistle for a long time, wanting to invite him to steal Bottle Mountain together!

It is often said that the art of moving mountains and dividing armor is a unique skill among thieves, and the abilities of Partridge Whistle, the contemporary leader of thieves, should not be underestimated.

If I could have his help.

Chen Yulou's confidence in taking over Ping Mountain has naturally increased to a new level!

Unfortunately, Partridge Whistle was always elusive and could never be contacted.

I ran into him by chance today, and I absolutely cannot let him get away.
