Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Wu Xie's feelings were complicated, but he didn't remain silent for long. He staggered to his feet and tried to find A Ning's body.

However, Wu Xie encountered Zhang Qiling and his group on the way.

Seeing Wu Xie, Wang Yueban was just relieved and hadn't even spoken when Pan Zi suddenly shouted, "Third Master! What happened to your neck?"

What?

Zhang Qiling had already seen it; those were... pinch marks!

Who did it?

Zhang Qiling was a little confused. A Ning didn't have that much strength. Could it be... Chen Yan?

Zhang Qiling immediately knew who did it.

Wang Yueban's eyes widened: "Damn!"

Pan Zi stood in front of Wu Xie: "Third Master, who! Who did this! I'm going to kill him!"

Wang Yueban nervously grabbed Wu Xie's chin and looked at his neck: "Tianzhen, what, what's going on? Who! Who the hell dares to treat you like this? Don't they know you're the third young master of the Wu family?"

"I'm not dead yet, Fatty!"

Wu Xie, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, pushed Wang Yueban away and said, "I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Pan Zi's face was filled with anger: "Third Master, who did this? I'll be damned..."

"Pan Zi".

Wu Xie interrupted Pan Zi, saying, "They did it to save me."

???????

Who would strangle someone like that while trying to save them?

Not only did Pan Zi not understand, but Wang Yueban did not understand either.

Zhang Qiling found it strange that Wu Xie would cover for Chen Yan.

What exactly happened?

Looking at Wu Xie's expression, Wang Yueban sensed something was amiss, but since Wu Xie wouldn't say anything, they couldn't do anything about it and could only change the subject: "Tianzhen, where's A Ning? Why isn't she here?"

Pan Zi narrowed his eyes: "Third Master, was it Ah Ning who did it?"

"No, stop guessing."

Wu Xie hung his head, his face dejected, and said in a somber tone, "A Ning is dead."

What?

Is Ah Ning dead?

What exactly happened?

Wang Yueban looked at Wu Xie in surprise: "Tianzhen, what exactly happened? How could this be?"

Wu Xie shook his head, offering no explanation, and simply asked, "Did you see A Ning's body?"

"No."

Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "Your coat has blood on it."

As soon as Zhang Qiling spoke, Wang Yueban suddenly remembered something and said, "Tianzhen, you have no idea, you really scared me to death."

"We saw your coat on the road, Fatty, I thought something had happened to you."

"The delivery guy was nervous; there was blood on it."

"Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"

Wu Xie sighed and said, "It's nothing, I just... wait a minute."

Wu Xie looked up at Wang Yueban: "You mean, you saw my coat, and there was blood on it? Then why wasn't A Ning's body there?"

"No, just a jacket."

"We found this place by following the trail of blood."

Wang Yueban, Pan Zi, and Zhang Qiling all looked at Wu Xie. Wu Xie thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "A Ning isn't dead! He's lying to me!"

"Who is it? Tianzhen, what's wrong with you?"

Pan Zi looked at Wu Xie with concern: "Third Master, are you alright?"

Wu Xie laughed and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm fine."

Zhang Qiling looked at the sky: "It's getting dark."

Yes, it's getting dark, they need to find a place to rest first, and then set off again tomorrow.

Soon, Wu Xie led them back to the spot where he had woken up.

As soon as Zhang Qiling arrived, he noticed something was amiss; it seemed as if someone had been here before.

Wu Xie clearly didn't know about A Ning's situation, which is why Chen Yan was here as well.

Wu Xie's problems are all related to Chen Yan.

However, Zhang Qiling didn't ask Wu Xie, since Wu Xie could tell that he didn't want to talk about it.

They sat down and started a fire. Then Wang Yueban said, "You scared me to death, Fatty! Luckily you're alright."

Wu Xie suddenly remembered Chen Yan's words: Even if your third uncle arranged for Wang Yueban and Pan Zi to come in and protect you.

Wu Xie stared at Wang Yueban suspiciously: "Fatty, you took over my third uncle's job."

"Hehe, this..."

Wang Yueban smiled awkwardly: "Fatty, I can't help it, your third uncle gave just too much."

Wu Xie laughed in exasperation, glared at Wang Yueban, and then looked at Pan Zi: "Where is my third uncle?"

"Young Master San..."

Just as Pan Zi was about to say something, Wu Xie raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop talking. I know."

Pan Zi could only swallow back the words in his mouth.

the other side.

Chen Yan walked alone in the rainforest late at night. In the darkness, Chen Yan's movements were not affected at all, and he was like a ghost.

The rainforest at night has always been a world of snakes, insects, and rodents.

But Chen Yan felt no fear or dread as he walked through the world of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

A day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yan followed the current, jumped into the lake, and swam towards the bottom.

They quickly passed through the underwater mechanism and entered the palace of the Queen Mother of the West.

Standing up from the water, Chen Yan ran his fingers through his hair, glanced around, quickly chose a path, and went ashore.

The military boots on his feet made a series of subtle sounds as they rubbed against the ground.

Walking through the underground palace, Chen Yan glanced back thoughtfully. Someone was following them.

Zhang Qiling couldn't possibly come along, and no one else had the ability to keep up with him.

It seems the Zhang family has indeed been keeping an eye on Wu Xie, otherwise they wouldn't have followed him at this time to see what he's up to.

Chen Yan paid no attention to the Zhang family members following behind him, but quickened his pace and walked towards the back hall.

Zhang Haiqi, who was following behind, looked at Chen Yan with surprise, not understanding what Chen Yan wanted to do.

Putting aside why Chen Pi's son is a descendant of the Northern School of Tomb Raiders, just consider this: since he came back, this kid has been contacting Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen. What exactly is he trying to do?

Zhang Haiqi didn't know, and neither did the Zhang family, so Zhang Haiqi came to see what Chen Yan was really up to.

Chen Yan, meanwhile, bypassed all the traps and arrived at the final entrance to the meteorite jade without any obstacles.

After glancing at the entrance, Chen Yan smiled, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and disappeared into the meteorite jade.

Zhang Haiqi watched from the darkness as Chen Yan entered the meteorite jade, and was surprised for a moment. Wasn't he afraid?

They just went straight in like that?

Chen Yan came here for the meteorite jade.

Zhang Haiqi realized this in an instant. Looking at the entrance to the meteorite jade, Zhang Haiqi frowned slightly.

But what does Chen Yan want to do by entering the meteorite?

do not know.

Zhang Haiqi couldn't possibly go in. What if he was given a divine gift after entering the meteorite?

Outsiders can come in here, but the Zhang family members are not allowed to.

So Zhang Haiqi could only stay in a dark corner, keeping an eye on Chen Yan while waiting for Zhang Qiling to come over.
