"Line up in groups of fifteen. Those whose names are called should step out of their lines and clear the way for the others behind them, following the map."

"Here you go. We can give you the money now, and we can get it back in a moment. If you're not afraid of death, then run."

"The silver dollar I mentioned earlier was just a deposit. You'll receive a further reward once you complete the mission."

"Everyone should have heard of the reputation of Changsheng Mountain among the people. We are true to our word and prioritize benevolence and righteousness. However, this only applies to those who treat us with the same benevolence and righteousness..."

As the strategist, Hua Maguai stood at the front of the densely packed crowd and began to arrange the camp plan.

"This group of bandits looks more organized than Luo Laowai's gang."

Su Mu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Most of Luo Laowai's soldiers were in a lax manner, some smoking, others wearing their military caps askew, and the formation was scattered and crooked.

In contrast, the Unloading Ridge Warriors stood ramrod straight, and although their clothing was not uniform, their equipment was almost identical.

The vanguard team was not only led by Su Mu, but also included disciples of the Unloading Ridge Warriors.

They knew perfectly well that the vanguard was often used to pave the way for their own deaths, yet they still all had rosy cheeks and high spirits.

"Hey guys, let's go!"

"Don't worry, if anything happens, as long as you don't run away, we can block your way."

"Little one, you're too young, you stay behind us and let us go first."

"..."

Su Mu, along with the others who also came from the refugee area of ​​Changsha, stared wide-eyed at the scene before them in disbelief.

The group from Xieling did not treat these strangers differently. In fact, they even called on the younger Su Mu to hide behind them and clear the way.

"With your words of reassurance, we brothers are relieved! It's alright, we won't run away even if trouble comes our way. If you're willing to step in, we're willing to step in too!"

"Hahaha, we're all men, everyone has a man! Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

"Walk!"

"..."

Su Mu took a deep breath.

When he actually traveled to the world of tomb raiding and joined the Unloading Ridge Warriors, he discovered that what he saw was completely different from what he remembered.

I remember from my past life, the original Ghost Blows Out the Light novel described the Unloading Ridge Warriors as a rabble who were no match for anyone.

However, the text later states that the Unloading Ridge Warriors all died in the tomb of the Prince of Xian in order to protect Chen Yulou.

Clearly, this so-called mob has a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness.

"Hey buddy, have you guys been to Old Bear Ridge? What's it like?"

"Old Bear Ridge is located in a high mountain range, and we unloading ridge people rarely go there. It is full of poisonous insects and poisonous creatures, and you can lose your life if you are not careful. However, people from nearby villages often risk going up the mountain to collect herbs and trade them for money..."

"The antique porcelain fragments that General Luo picked up were discovered there; it's said that a large tomb is buried there..."

After leaving the walled city built on Changsheng Mountain, there was a mountain road that seemed to stretch on forever.

The mountain road was surrounded by forests, where birds and animals chirped incessantly, and mosquitoes swarmed, thirstily rushing towards the sweaty crowd.

"Don't move yet, we'll apply insect repellent to you."

The vanguard of the Unloading Ridge Warriors took out medicine bags and sprayed pungent powder onto the bearded uncle and others.

When it was Su Mu's turn, Su Mu waved his hand and said, "I am naturally immune to mosquitoes, so there's no need to waste your energy on me."

The people around him were already covered in mosquito bites, but Su Mu was completely free of mosquitoes, which was quite strange.

Upon hearing this, the Unloading Ridge Warrior who was passing by Su Mu nodded and put away the nearly empty insect repellent bag.

"Most of the yams in the vicinity have already been harvested by the villagers. This insect repellent was bought from outside at great expense. We don't know how long we have to walk. These mosquitoes are somewhat poisonous, so we should save money where we can. If everyone could be as mosquito-free as this young man, then this road would be much easier to walk on."

The vanguard's Unloading Warrior shook his head as he spoke, continuing to draw his sword and cut down obstacles blocking the road to clear a path for the team behind him.

"Hey! Don't go, buddy! I've finally found you!"

"Why are you here too?"

Su Mu looked at the middle-aged man in the Taoist robe with curiosity.

Isn't this the Taoist priest who runs a stall in the city selling talismans, peach wood swords, and other such items?

"Hehe, I did a divination for myself, and the divination said that this trip would bring wealth and honor, so I signed up to come. Here, young man, I have another talisman here, do you want to buy it?"

"Old Taoist priest with a bull's nose, don't even think about swindling Master Su out of your money. How much could your broken talisman be worth?"

"Furthermore, we're from Changsha. Do you know any of the 'Eighth Master of Changsha'? You dare to use this kind of scam to fool us?"

The bearded man frowned and reprimanded him.

Ignoring everything else, the Taoist priest continued to pull out the blue brick engraved with ancient talismans from his pocket: "What Seventh Master, Eighth Master? Where are you from? Uh, never mind, young man, I'll give this to you. You've already paid me before anyway."

The reputation of the Nine Gates of Changsha City is no less than that of the Unloading Ridge Team, which was marching at this time.

Among them, Eighth Master Qi Tiezui was known as "Iron Mouth Calculator," and his divination skills were unparalleled.

The Taoist priest was nothing more than a swindler who made a living through deception. How could he continue to act so presumptuously in front of Master Qi's name?

"What the hell?"

Su Mu took the heavy ancient brick that the other party handed him, the moss still clinging to it.

[Rain Master's Edict (Complete)]

[Effect: Unknown]

[Type: Talisman]

"what!"

Screams rang in my ears.

Holding the blue brick, Su Mu looked down at the Taoist priest who had suddenly collapsed to the ground clutching his leg.

The Taoist's ankle was a bloody mess, with blood splattered everywhere, and a hideous iron weapon shaped like a beast's mouth was tightly fastened to the other's ankle.

"Don't move! Taoist priest, I'm afraid you can't save your leg. Someone, take him away."

The vanguard of the Unloading Ridge Warriors frowned and waved to the others around them to help the Taoist priest down.

Animal trap.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Who the hell put this animal trap here?!" The Taoist priest cursed in pain, his face pale and his gums clenched.

"Hey bro, bro, we'll see you later, oh dear, don't touch my foot..."

The Taoist priest was carried down the mountain.

"It should be an animal trap placed in the mountains by the nearby Miao village. They often come up the mountain to collect herbs and hunt wild animals. Everyone needs to be careful from now on. Pass this message down so that the rest of the team can avoid walking through the undergrowth and cover that we haven't been to before..."

The vanguard's Unloading Warriors frowned and gave orders to pass on the message.

Su Mu stared blankly at the patch of weeds that he should have stepped on just now.

The Taoist priest appeared suddenly, running up from behind and shoving Su Mu, who was supposed to step into the animal trap.

Could it be that……
