Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan with a puzzled expression. Chen Yan put the lid on the kettle and said, "They were all left over from abroad."

"Abroad? Isn't your mother from the Northern school?"

Chen Yan didn't explain, but only glanced at Zhang Qiling in the corner.

Zhang Qiling wasn't asleep; he just squinted at Wu Xie and Chen Yan.

He had seen everything that had happened.

But Wu Xie didn't know that and thought he was asleep.

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't want to answer the question, Wu Xie's eyes darted around, and he leaned closer to Chen Yan and asked, "Brother Yan, let's talk. Anyway, it's just the two of us who are still awake. Tell me, what exactly is the Nine Dragons Carrying the Corpse Coffin?"

"Alright, tell me about it, and I'll lend you the snake-browed bronze fish I have to take a look at."

Chen Yan chuckled, glanced at Wu Xie, and said, "If I wanted the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish in your possession, believe me, even if Zhang Qiling protected you, you might not be able to keep it."

Wu Xie chuckled twice: "I understand, I understand."

Looking at Chen Yan, Wu Xie suddenly asked, "Brother Yan, do you need a massage? I can."

Zhang Qiling, who was not far away, was completely bewildered. What was Wu Xie doing?

As Wu Xie spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on Chen Yan's shoulder, but the next second, Chen Yan suddenly swayed his upper body, and Wu Xie felt a blur before his eyes and a sharp pain in his arm. Then he felt a warmth on his face.

Chen Yan twisted Wu Xie's arms behind his back and pressed him down.

Wu Xie felt the warmth transmitted to his cheek through the fabric, and realized that he was currently lying in Chen Yan's arms, with his face even between Chen Yan's legs.

Wu Xie could only be thankful that it was at the knee level, not any higher, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

Before Wu Xie could even say "let go," Chen Yan released him.

Wu Xie rubbed his arm and sat up, looking at Chen Yan: "No, I just wanted to know something I didn't know, did you have to be so ruthless?"

Chen Yan's voice softened as he said, "Has no one ever told you that you can't just touch a master's shoulders, neck, or waist?"

"An expert?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, looked Chen Yan up and down, and nodded: "That's right, you dared to jump down directly, you must be a master."

Realizing he had been reckless, Wu Xie scratched his head and said, "Um, it was my fault. Don't be angry. I won't do it again."

Chen Yan glanced at Wu Xie and said, "You will know when it's your turn."

Wu Xie's lips twitched: "What's the difference between saying that and not saying anything at all?"

But Chen Yan ignored him and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

Wu Xie pursed his lips, got up and sat down next to Pan Zi and Wang Yueban.

When Chen Yan woke up, he only saw Wu Xie guarding the place. Zhang Qiling, Wang Yueban, Pan Zi, Lao Jiu, and Meng Hu were not there.

Seeing that Chen Yan was awake, Wu Xie said, "They've all gone to scout ahead, leaving just the two of us."

Chen Yan nodded, then turned his head and took out a can of food from his backpack without saying a word. He opened it and started eating.

Wu Xie yawned: "Brother Yan, you keep watch for a while, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan looked at Wu Xie, who had already lain down and closed his eyes to rest. Chen Yan was a little puzzled.

Isn't this kid afraid I'll kill him?

Did you just fall asleep peacefully like that?

Chen Yan glanced at Wu Xie's face, then looked away and continued eating.

soon.

Pan Zi returned here because he was worried about leaving Wu Xie alone.

Seeing that Wu Xie had fallen asleep, Chen Yan sat down beside him, stroking his bracelet. Pan Zi didn't say anything, but walked over and sat down next to Wu Xie.

Pan Zi glanced at Chen Yan discreetly, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Yan ignored Pan Zi, and soon after, Wang Yueban and Zhang Qiling returned together.

As soon as Wang Yueban returned, he was about to speak when he saw Wu Xie asleep. Pan Zi said, "Shh."

Ignoring Pan Zi, Wang Yueban sat down and looked at Zhang Qiling: "Brother, the snow outside hasn't stopped. Are we really going to have to stay here for a few days?"

Zhang Qiling glanced at Chen Yan, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Wang Yueban sighed and said nothing more.

Tiger and Old Nine, who went to scout ahead, never returned.

When Wu Xie woke up, he saw Wang Yueban sitting next to him, eating dry food.

"Fatty."

"Hey, Natasha, you're awake."

Wu Xie nodded and sat up. He looked around but only saw Chen Yan. Meng Hu and Lao Jiu were not there.

Seeing Wu Xie's confusion, Wang Yueban said, "Those two gentlemen went out to scout ahead and haven't returned yet."

"Not back yet?"

Wu Xie glanced at Wang Yueban with surprise, then looked at Chen Yan, who was fiddling with his bracelet, seemingly not worried about the safety of the two people at all.

Pan Zi asked, "Young Master San, how are you feeling?"

"It's good. I've had a good sleep, and my mind is much clearer."

Wu Xie took out a piece of dry rations, unwrapped it, and took a bite: "Where's Xiao Ge? Why isn't he here?"

"The delivery guy just left, saying he was going to look around the area."

Wu Xie nodded, said "oh," and didn't ask anything else.

Not long after, Zhang Qiling returned first. As soon as Zhang Qiling sat down, before Wu Xie could even ask her what had happened...

Old Nine and Fierce Tiger are back.

Chen Yan quickly put on the bracelet and looked at Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu sat down and said, "Brother Yan, we've checked all the gaps around here. It seems like this side and that side are connected."

"But with the tiger's size, we couldn't find any deeper inside."

"Furthermore, it's more difficult to get around here; we'll have to find a new entrance from the outside."

Chen Yan wasn't surprised and nodded: "What's the situation outside?"

"It's still snowing, but it looks much lighter. It should stop tomorrow."

Chen Yan nodded: "Then get some rest. If the snow stops tomorrow, we'll set off."

"it is good."

Tiger secretly slipped his hand into Lao Jiu's backpack. Lao Jiu said irritably, "Who told you to carry so much explosives in your bag? You know we're in a snowy mountain and can't use them, yet you still carried them."

The tiger said nonchalantly, "It might not be useful in the snow mountain, but it might be useful in the tomb."

Seeing that the tiger had taken out three cans of food, Lao Jiu snatched one back: "I'm hungry too, you can have two cans to tide you over."

Chen Yan chuckled and took out two boxes from his bag, giving one to each of them.

Tiger chuckled and took it, while Old Nine stuffed it into Chen Yan's backpack: "Brother Yan, I have more in my bag, you can have yours."

Seeing this scene, Wu Xie suddenly remembered what Chen Yan had said before: that Meng Hu and Lao Jiu were his brothers, not his partners.

These three people seem to get along well.

The group of them rested here for the night.
