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

Chen Yulou frowned and said, "It seems this place has already been looted."

Hua Maguai added, "It seems that when the Yuan general marched south, he looted this place completely."

"A Yuan dynasty general really existed?" The girl in red seemed to suddenly realize something, a hint of fear on her face, and asked, "Then the rumors about the Corpse King of Xiangxi are also true?"

"The Corpse King of Xiangxi?" Yin Xinyue, who was standing next to her, was stunned when she heard this term.

That sounds terrifying.

Hong Guniang looked at Yin Xinyue and, unusually, didn't tease her. Instead, she explained seriously.

“We heard from the local Miao people that…”

“Miao people often see a burly man in golden armor running through the mountains at night in Laoxiong Ridge!”

"That man ran with incredible speed, he could even fly across the mountains!"

"They specifically seek out living people and creatures, tear them to pieces, and then drain their essence and blood!"

“A group of Miao people once went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, but unfortunately they encountered this person. Except for one person who fell into a tree hole and survived, none of the others survived!”

"He said that the monster was covered in long hair, had sharp claws, a blue face and fangs, and was incredibly strong! It could even tear the yellow ox they were leading in half with one blow!"

"Because it resembled the corpse of a legendary Yuan Dynasty general, they called it..."

"The Corpse King of Western Hunan!"

Yin Xinyue frowned upon hearing this, looked nervously at Li Xiaohu, and asked, "Isn't that even more powerful than the red-haired rice dumplings we've seen before?"

Li Xiaohu smiled faintly and replied, "The Red-haired Old Zongzi is far inferior to the Xiangxi Corpse King."

"Huh?" Yin Xinyue suddenly felt a little scared.

They went through so much trouble to barely manage to get rid of a red-haired rice dumpling.

Now there's another "corpse king" in western Hunan. How should they deal with it?

Li Xiaohu noticed her worry and said with a smile, "It's alright."

"Aren't Foreman Chen and the others here?"

Chen Yulou smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

I don't know.

He was also a little scared at this moment.

If the legendary Xiangxi Corpse King truly exists deep within Ping Mountain, he doesn't know how confident he is in subduing him.

The topic of the Corpse King of Western Hunan.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Chen Yulou changed the subject and encouraged everyone.

He said, "If that Yuan Dynasty general really did occupy Ping Mountain."

"Then his body must be buried here too!"

"His tomb is naturally filled with countless treasures of gold and silver waiting for us to take!"

“The chief is right!” Red Girl echoed.

He said a few more words, which reignited the brothers' appetite and morale.

Chen Yulou nodded in satisfaction, then ordered his men to search the place for treasures.

Although there aren't many funerary objects here.

However, the four large pillars were also covered with gilded patterns and inlaid with a dazzling array of pearls and gemstones, which was also a considerable fortune.

"brothers!"

Luo Laowai excitedly ran into the main hall from the back and ordered his men to do as he was told.

"Take everything you can with you, don't leave me a single thing!"

He walked up to a pillar, pried off a gem with a dagger, and muttered to himself with a chuckle, "Damn it."

"I'm going to be rich this time!"

His dream of expanding the army, with German-made cannons and British-made submachine guns, was now all secured!

Chen Yulou instructed:

"Light a bonfire at the entrance and spread lime and sulfur to guard against a counterattack from poisonous insects and mirages!"

Arrange the actions here.

He then led the remaining people to continue their journey.

"Did you all hear that? Do exactly as the boss says!"

Luo Laowai stuffed the gemstone into his chest and followed after him eagerly.

Behind the main hall.

Sure enough, there was a stone door.

Kunlun Mole stepped forward and slowly opened the stone door.

A damp, musty smell seeped out from the cracks, causing the thieves to cover their noses and hold their breath.

The group waited and reminisced until the stench had mostly dissipated.

Chen Yulou then ordered everyone to carry torches inside.

"Meow~"

Jin Yunu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and climbed up Li Xiaohu's body to his shoulder.

Li Xiaohu reached out to comfort Jin Yunu.

Follow Chen Yulou as they slowly walk into the passageway.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

The passageway was dark and damp, with water seeping into the ground and "water droplets" constantly dripping from the ceiling.

Li Xiaohu dodged the falling water droplets and reminded, "Chief Chen, watch your head."

“Those ‘water droplet’-shaped things are the eggs of the poisonous mirage.”

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle scraped off a drop of "water" with his dagger and examined it closely. He could vaguely see something moving inside, so he quickly and unhappily shook it off.

Chen Yulou listened to the opinions.

He ordered everyone to step back, and then sent a few brothers forward to burn the insect eggs off the top of the wall with torches.

The passageway was immediately filled with a nauseating, fishy stench.

The bandits endured the stench and continued to advance cautiously.

"and many more."

Chen Yulou suddenly noticed something unusual on the wall in front of him.

He took a torch and went forward to clean the cobwebs off the wall, revealing a mural.

"There are murals on this wall."

"Go and look around elsewhere."

Seeing this, the other men hurriedly held up torches and went around looking at the ceremony.

"Always in charge!"

"There are murals here too!"

"There seem to be murals on the back walls!"

The bandits from the Unloading Ridge gang immediately scattered and began to carefully examine the murals on the wall.

Murals are one way to understand the tomb owner.

Even if the tomb raiders of the Unloading Ridge gang didn't care about the tomb owner's life story, they could still learn some relevant information about the tomb through the murals.

It may provide some clues about mechanisms, traps, or even some obscure and difficult puzzles.

and so.

Chen Yulou and his men would never let this piece of information slip by.

Yin Xinyue peered curiously at a mural, but couldn't understand its contents, so she asked Li Xiaohu:

"Scoundrel."

"What are those murals depicting?"

Li Xiaohu stepped forward to observe carefully, but before he could speak, Chen Yulou spoke up to explain:
