Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Old Nine glanced at Chen Yan and smiled.

the other side.

Huo Xiangu returned to her tent. Huo Xiuxiu was about to ask something when she heard Huo Xiangu say, "Xiuxiu, didn't I tell you to go and rest? Go and rest, I need to rest too."

Huo Xiuxiu, who wanted to say something, could only say, "Grandma, then you should rest for a while."

After saying that, she turned and left. After Huo Xiuxiu left, Huo Xiangu sat on the edge of the bed with a bitter smile on her face. This Chen Yan had forced her to choose to cooperate.

I closed my eyes briefly.

Huo Xiangu made up her mind; she couldn't die here.

Although she denied the possibility in her heart, the more she thought about it on the way back, the more she felt that Chen Yan was about to flip the table.

Once Chen Yan exposes the veil that the Nine Gates have been desperately hiding, then all sorts of people in the underworld will swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

By then, she will be dead, and Xiuxiu might not even have time to leave the country before being torn to pieces.

She is alive.

At least the core of the Huo family is still there.

Huo Xiangu opened her eyes and murmured softly, "What a vicious little brat, his heart is truly cruel."

Like Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, Huo Xiangu guessed the possibility that Chen Yan wanted to overturn the table, but unlike Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, she did not completely deny this possibility.

Because they are different.

Just as Chen Yan said, the second generation's living environment is much better than that of the first generation, so they don't have the same courage as the first generation of family heads.

Huo Xiangu deliberately used her own life to pave the way for Wu Xie, just so that Wu Xie would project his guilt onto Huo Xiuxiu and thus protect her.

This is enough to show that Huo Xiangu was willing to pay any price for her own goals.

Including one's own life.

However, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan would not.

Because they are afraid of dying.

Because they are more greedy and more reluctant to die.

This is why Huo Xiangu sat in the tent cursing Chen Yan for being vicious, and why Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan were imprisoned in Myanmar.

Hesitation will only lead to more trouble.

Mount Siguniang.

Wu Xie and his companions had found the entrance. Hei Xiazi was digging the hole, while Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen sat on the edge of the cliff watching the sunset.

Looking at the sunset, Wu Xie said, "Xiao Hua, what do you think Chen Yan is trying to do? I have a feeling that since Chen Yan has intervened, he won't just stay out of the picture, but so far, there's been no sign of Chen Yan's people showing up."

"Furthermore, we've already arrived here, and we still haven't received any news from Granny Huo."

Xie Yuchen glanced at Wu Xie and said, "Wu Xie, don't worry. Xiao Ge and Fatty went to Banna. If Chen Yan really went, even if Granny Huo doesn't say anything, Fatty and Xiao Ge will tell us."

Wu Xie nodded, his tone still carrying a hint of doubt: "I always felt that Chen Yan was very mysterious; he seemed to know a lot of things."

"But even though he's clearly a member of the Nine Gates, he always seems to be detached from it. Just when I think he's really detached, he reappears in the game."

"I'm a little confused. What exactly does Chen Yan want to do? What is he after?"

Xie Yuchen couldn't figure it out either, but he had a vague feeling that Chen Yan's purpose was in the Nine Gates, but not in the Nine Gates' current plan.

In other words, it's about what he and Wu Xie did before pursuing the Nine Gates, and Chen Yan's feeling about planning what to do after the Nine Gates.

This feeling was strange, but Xie Yuchen just had this feeling.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it had been lingering in his mind ever since it appeared.

Hei Xiazi, who was clearing the entrance, heard the conversation between the two and his expression changed slightly. It seemed that Little Master Si really wanted to kick the table.

Tsk, Eighth Master, this isn't my fault, you blind man.

Fifth Master, I'm afraid the gift you asked me to deliver to Third Master will never have the chance to be delivered.

No.

Black Bear felt that he had to run away as soon as he finished this job.

Otherwise, if you get caught up in it, you'll instantly become the center of attention.

After all, he lived a long life.

So while digging, Hei Xiazi had already decided in his mind that once this was over, he would run away immediately.

We absolutely cannot give Chen Yan the chance to drag us into this vortex.

Banna.

at last.

Zhang Qiling and Wang Yueban met Chen Yan and his group. Chen Yan had somehow acquired a sheep, which was now being roasted in the center of the camp after being killed and cleaned by Meng Hu.

Wang Yueban, Zhang Qiling, Huo Xiangu, Huo Xiuxiu, Chen Yan, Lao Jiu, and Meng Hu are all sitting here.

While sprinkling seasoning on the whole roasted lamb, Meng Hu said, "Brother Yan, it'll be ready to eat in a little while."

"OK."

Chen Yan glanced at Zhang Qiling and Wang Yueban and said, "It's my treat, don't be shy, there's more if it's not enough."

As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction. Wang Yueban, Zhang Qiling, Huo Xiangu, and Huo Xiuxiu turned their heads and saw several workers not far away setting up a grill and preparing to roast a whole lamb.

Huo Xiangu looked back at Chen Yan, both amused and annoyed, without saying a word.

Wang Yueban turned back to Chen Yan in disbelief and asked, "Fourth Master Chen, are you here for a picnic?"

Glancing at him, Chen Yan said, "So what? You can sell goods in the rainforest, why can't I roast a lamb in front of Zhang Family Ancient Building?"

"What's wrong? Does the Zhang family have a problem with this?"

As Chen Yan spoke, he looked at Zhang Qiling. When Zhang Qiling saw Chen Yan looking at him, he silently shook his head. With a whole roasted lamb, who would want to eat dry rations!

Chen Yan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction: "See, the Zhang family has no objections. If you're not going to eat, move aside and let the little mute eat more."

"The little mute?"

Huo Xiangu looked at Chen Yan in surprise, and Chen Yan smiled and said, "Yes, we met at the end of 1999."

"He didn't speak at the time, so I thought he was mute."

Wang Yueban's eyes lit up: "Fourth Master, what happened when you saw Little Brother back then?"

Huo Xiuxiu also looked at Chen Yan curiously, but Huo Xiangu felt a tightness in her heart. Chen Yan had met Zhang Qiling at the end of 1999.

Therefore, he didn't start making plans after returning; he had been keeping an eye on the Nine Gates for a long time before they knew it.

This person's mind is indeed deep.

Chen Yan glanced at Zhang Qiling with a half-smile, and Zhang Qiling looked at him curiously, wanting to see what Chen Yan would say.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Yan said directly, "When I saw him back then, he was like a stone, not saying a word, and he ate wild game instead of rice."

"The grilled food tasted average, and it didn't have any seasoning, but he could still eat it."
