Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

After cleaning up the bear carcass, the convoy continued its journey.

Night fell, the bright moon hung high, and the distant mountains echoed with the roars of tigers and the cries of monkeys, startling a flock of birds into flight.

Jiang Yan stared blankly out the car window at the dark forest in the distance.

The scenery outside the window seemed to flash by, rushing past. More than six hours later, the five off-road vehicles exited the highway one after another, and then drove for more than two hours on the national highway. Finally, around three o'clock in the morning, the convoy arrived in Jincheng!

Jiang Yan and his group did not enter the city of Jincheng, but instead headed directly northeast to Maoling.

More than half an hour later, Maoling came into view.

Although it was three in the morning, Maoling was brightly lit, and a large number of officials gathered at the entrance of Maoling, looking uneasy.

In addition, there were a large number of heavily armed soldiers who surrounded Maoling in layers. These were all players from the [Hero's Tower] that Hua Yingxiong had drawn from nearby, and they only obeyed Hua Yingxiong!

When the SUV stopped at the entrance of Maoling, before Jiang Yan and his party could even get out, the officials who had been waiting for a long time rushed up to greet them with a mix of welcome, apologies, assurances, and remorse.

Hua Yingxiong remained expressionless, only saying "Don't obstruct the investigation," before leading Jiang Yan and twenty others, including Hero Sword and Hero Courage, into Maoling.

"Is this really okay?" After entering Maoling, Jiang Yan looked back and found that all the officials were being kept outside by the warriors of [Hero's Tower].

"Mr. K was able to steal the Champion Marquis's body without anyone noticing, so he must have an inside man. Perhaps this inside man is among these people. We must be on guard," Hua Yingxiong said.

Jiang Yan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

"Guild Master!" Just then, several warriors from the [Hero's Tower] trotted over from the depths of Maoling, saying, "As per your instructions, we have completely surrounded the Champion Marquis's Tomb!"

"Lead the way." Hua Yingxiong wasted no time and led his men straight to the tomb of the Marquis of Champion.

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately turned around and jogged ahead to lead the way.

The group ventured deep into Maoling, turning left and right, and soon arrived at a huge villa.

The villa is a small hill covered with lush trees, surrounded by pavilions and displaying sixteen large stone carvings, all connected by stone paths.

The player from [Hero's Tower] who was leading the way walked ahead and reported in a deep voice: "Guild Leader, the tomb raiders dug a tunnel on the left side of the hill and went straight into the main tomb chamber. Their methods were clean and efficient, so they must be experienced! According to the preliminary investigation, they only stole the corpse of the Marquis of Champion and did not take any burial objects."

"What about the surveillance cameras?" Hua Yingxiong asked.

"They said that some monsters damaged the power lines that night, causing Maoling to lose power, which is why the surveillance cameras are all broken," the soldier leading the way said.

"A monster? That's a very good excuse!" Hua Yingxiong said coldly. "Investigate this thoroughly. Anyone who dares to disobey or make excuses will be arrested on charges of endangering national security!"

"yes!"

At this moment, the bright moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, making the tomb of the Marquis of Champions appear gloomy.

Before long, the group arrived at the location of the tomb raider's hole on the left side of the hill.

The tunnel, located on a hillside, is about one meter in diameter and runs straight down into the ground in a dark, deep hole.

"Hero's Sword, Hero's Courage, and Jiang Yan, come in with me!" Hua Yingxiong shrank back and crawled down the tunnel.

Hero's Sword and Hero's Courage entered one after the other. When it was Jiang Yan's turn, he unleashed a thunderous strike, transforming into a bolt of lightning and bursting into the tunnel with a bang.

In the next instant, Jiang Yan had already arrived at the bottom of the tomb, which was the main tomb chamber of the Marquis of Champion.

Emerging from his lightning transformation state, Jiang Yan looked around and discovered that the main tomb chamber was not large, only about half the size of a basketball court. The stone walls on both sides were carved with numerous stone sculptures, and beneath the innermost stone wall were a large number of rare treasures, including weapons and armor, military books and strategies, antiques and jade, and everything else imaginable.

Jiang Yan looked around and finally walked to Hua Yingxiong's side. In front of him was the coffin of the Marquis of Champion.

The coffin was made of a precious wood that had remained intact for thousands of years. Unfortunately, it had been forcibly opened and contained nothing but scattered gold, jade and wood fragments.

Around the coffin stood several staff members dressed in white, carrying toolboxes, reporting to Hua Yingxiong on the collection work: "Chairman, the other party's counter-surveillance capabilities are very strong; they left no fingerprints or hair."

Hua Yingxiong's expression grew increasingly grim: "You mean, there aren't any useful clues in this main tomb chamber?"

"Well... that's how it is," the staff member said helplessly.

Hua Yingxiong sighed helplessly and said, "In that case, we can only place our hopes on an inside man."

As he spoke, Hua Yingxiong turned to look at Jiang Yan and Hero Sword and Hero Courage, and said, "You two also look around and see if you can find anything unusual. Be careful not to damage the burial objects here."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. It was his first time entering an ancient tomb, and everything was new and exciting to him. Upon hearing this, he immediately began to explore the main tomb chamber.

He first looked at the stone carvings on the two stone walls, which should be narratives, depicting the major and minor battles fought by the Marquis of Champion after he joined the army.

Jiang Yan looked carefully several times but found nothing unusual. Finally, he came to the innermost stone wall.

A large number of rare treasures were displayed here. Jiang Yan's eyes swept over them, scanning them one by one from the weapons and armor, bamboo slips and cloth, antiques and jade.

"How is it?" Hua Yingxiong appeared beside him at some point and asked softly.

"It feels like something's missing," Jiang Yan said, frowning.

"What's missing?" Hua Yingxiong's eyes lit up.

"Let me think about it." Jiang Yan gazed at the rare treasures scattered on the ground, finally focusing his attention on the weapons.

There were four weapons in total: a jade sword for decoration, an arm-length iron sword, a ring-pommel sword, and an iron bow, with a bag of arrows beside it.

Of these weapons, apart from the jade sword, the other three were covered in rust.

"Is there something wrong with these weapons?" Hua Yingxiong asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, but... um, I've got it!" Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "The Marquis of Champion was a general on horseback; how could his burial goods only contain short weapons?"

"General on horseback?" Hua Yingxiong was taken aback, then suddenly realized what he meant.

Yes, the Marquis of Champion has a distinguished military record. In every battle, if he only used short weapons, how could he fight the Xiongnu on the grasslands?

So besides the longbow, iron sword, and ring-pommel sword, he must have another long weapon by his side!

It could be a spear, a lance, or a halberd!

However, despite careful searching, Jiang Yan and his companions found nothing.

"Wait! There's something wrong here." Hero Sword noticed a hole about three fingers thick in the center of the display of rare treasures!

Jiang Yan and the others bent down and used their phones to illuminate the hole, discovering that it was about 30 centimeters deep. The mud and rocks along the edges of the hole had hardened, but strangely, there wasn't a speck of dust inside!

"There must be a long weapon stuck here!" Jiang Yan guessed.

"Based on the depth of the cave, it's at least two meters long!" said Hero Swordsman.

"Finally, we've found something!" Hua Yingxiong's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately took out his phone to contact the people outside.
