Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Zhang Qiling glanced at Lao Jiu and remembered that Lao Jiu had never been friendly to him before, so he didn't think much of it.

He glanced at Chen Yan subtly, then got up and sat down next to Wu Xie and the other two.

Wang Yueban stuffed a portion of dry rations into Zhang Qiling's hand: "Brother, have something to eat. This damn weather is really hard to walk in."

Zhang Qiling opened the dry rations, took a bite, and lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lao Jiu, who remained calm, showing no sign of feeling that his actions were wrong.

Chen Yan shook his head, both amused and exasperated, looked away, took out his water bottle, and took a sip.

Wu Xie glanced at Chen Yan and the other two, then, as if remembering something, asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you know each other before?"

Wang Yueban and Pan Zi both looked at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Chen Yan, thought for a moment, and said, "I've met you before."

Wang Yueban patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and said, "Tianzhen, didn't you see that tiger, Brother? They were probably all together that time, so you must have seen it at least once."

Pan Zi, who was standing nearby, also said, "Third Master, do you feel like something's not right?"

Wu Xie shook his head, glanced at Zhang Qiling, and said, "No, I was just thinking, since Brother doesn't remember anything from before, maybe if they knew each other, he might remember something?"

Wang Yueban agreed, saying, "But since the young man said he had met him before, and none of them said they knew him, it's probably just a one-time encounter."

Feeling that Wang Yueban was right, Wu Xie didn't ask any more questions.

After resting for a while, Meng Hu went to look around and came back to say, "Brother Yan, someone lingered ahead."

Chen Yan hummed in agreement and said, "Let's keep going."

Standing up, Chen Yan said, "The weather is starting to get worse; we need to hurry."

Wu Xie and the others stood up, looked at the gloomy sky, and understood that they really needed to hurry.

The path became increasingly difficult. As they climbed higher, Wu Xie and his companions found their feet slipping, and they had to rely on their ice axes to climb.

The weather on the plateau is unpredictable, and before long, it began to snow.

The glistening snowflakes fell on Chen Yan, who was alright and could bear it, but Wu Xie, Wang Yueban, and Pan Zi began to lose body heat and started to shiver uncontrollably.

But they couldn't stop. If they did, there was nowhere to spend the night, and the snow-capped mountains would freeze people to death at night.

As Zhang Qiling walked, he would occasionally look after Wu Xie and Wang Yueban.

Pan Zi had served in the military, so his physical condition was much better than Wu Xie's.

However, all three of them began to turn pale, and their lips also began to turn blue.

This is a sign of severe heat loss and the body facing collapse.

But they had no other choice.

Zhang Qiling glanced at the three people, then looked up at the tall figure in Tang suit in front of him, hesitating whether or not he should say something.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's voice came: "Ninth Brother, the ground looks strange about ten meters ahead, be careful."

"Okay, Brother Yan."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jiu immediately became more careful with his footing.

Tiger glanced around and asked, "Brother Yan, how much longer do we have to walk?"

Old Nine glanced at the tiger: "What? Someone as big as you is afraid of the cold?"

Looking at Lao Jiu, he shook his head: "It's not cold, but I feel that in this weather, if we can't find the entrance soon, three of the four people behind us might die."

Without looking at the people behind him, Lao Jiu said calmly, "If the people of the Nine Gates don't even have this much skill, yet they dare to come and grab the lama, it only shows that they are not afraid of death."

The tiger glanced at the ninth brother but said nothing more.

Tigers are naturally talkative; before their brains were damaged, they were quite the chatterbox.

However, ever since he injured his head, he can only talk to Lao Jiu a few words, except for Chen Yan.

As Chen Yan walked, he observed the surrounding terrain and deduced the location of the underground palace's entrance. He said, "Ninth Brother, there should be an entrance beneath the ground ahead. Regardless of whether it's the entrance to the underground palace or not, let's go down first."

"it is good."

Lao Jiu immediately gave Meng Hu a hand signal, and Meng Hu deftly untied the rope around his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the other end of the rope was thrown into Lao Jiu's hand.

Old Nine quickly wrapped the tiger around his waist, tied a knot, and said, "Fierce Tiger, it's yours now."

"it is good."

The tiger twirled its right hand twice, wrapping the rope around its right arm. Old Nine strode forward, its brisk pace making Wu Xie and the others behind it twitch their eyelids.

Wang Yueban said directly, "No, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble if we walk like this?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Nine's figure, who had been walking along peacefully, vanished in a flash.

At the same time, the tiger's right arm suddenly exerted force, and the ropes binding the two people taut in an instant.

Chen Yan strode forward: "Ninth Brother!"

"Brother Yan, I'm fine."

Old Nine's voice rang out from where he had fallen. Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then heard Old Nine shout, "Fierce Tiger, I'm letting the rope down."

The tiger immediately withdrew some of its strength, loosened the other end of the rope, and quickly pulled the rope back towards the cave entrance.

Wu Xie and the other three also followed.

Standing on top and looking down, you can't see anything except for the area directly below where the light shines.

Chen Yan said, "Tiger, get down."

"good!"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he jumped down. Meng Hu grinned, quickly gathered up the rope, and then jumped down after him.

Wang Yueban exclaimed "Holy crap!" Wu Xie's eyelids twitched. No, this is such a wild way of tomb raiding. No wonder they're from the Northern School.

Panzi looked down and said, "Third Master, let's go down too."

Wu Xie nodded: "Let's hang it with a rope."

He doesn't have the abilities of those people.

Just as he turned to hang the rope, Zhang Qiling jumped down.

"Hey bro!"

"Don't worry, young man, your skills are definitely not a problem."

As Wang Yueban hung the rope, he said something, and Wu Xie thought about it and agreed, so he quickly hung the rope and prepared to go down.

After Zhang Qiling jumped down, he saw Chen Yan squatting in a spot, his fingers touching the stone bricks on the ground.

Old Nine squatted down next to him, while Fierce Tiger went to scout ahead.

When Wu Xie and the others came down, the first thing they saw was Chen Yan and another person not far away, doing something.

After walking over, Wu Xie asked in surprise, "Yan... what did you find?"
