Chapter 161 Relics
How could he be so sure he hadn't gone the wrong way? He even seemed to have anticipated the appearance of a hot spring here...
All eyes fell on Boss Li. Even Tai Shu and the others who were with him cast strange glances at Boss Li for saying those words. However, this did not seem to be the first time.
"Mr. Li, we've been working together for quite some time now. You seem to know a lot about the secrets and ins and outs of many ancient tombs. Do you have any special skills?"
Sanmazi received a wink from Taishu, and being straightforward and single-minded, he asked without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li didn't rush to a laugh but instead laughed, as if he were joking: "Brother Ma Zi, you're joking~ What skills do I have? I'm just a small antique dealer. The reason I know these things is because of an heirloom from my ancestors."
"History items?" Sanmazi curled his lip, his face showing some displeasure. "Why didn't you say you had something this good sooner? Hiding it away like this has almost cost us our lives several times because of your delayed information. That's not very ethical of you!"
"Oh, Brother Ma, calm down~ This is all for the sake of our cooperation to proceed smoothly!" Boss Li is indeed a seasoned veteran who has been in the business for many years. He has your mind completely under his thumb. Only someone like him could make "fear of being kicked out after being used" sound so noble.
If this had been revealed earlier, wouldn't Taishu and his gang of desperados have resorted to murder and robbery? Boss Li's trip was only for money and treasure; he didn't want to lose his life like this.
"Anyway, this is the last grave, so there's no harm in telling you. This place should be relatively safe, so why don't we rest here for a while?"
The temperature had dropped sometime earlier, and although the humidity was still high, visibility was still good. The journey had been physically demanding, and with no idea what lay ahead, resting here was a good idea. Moreover, this opportunity would allow them to obtain some information about the ancient tomb from Boss Li, preparing for the rest of the journey.
But we should still remain vigilant...
"Sanmazi, go and keep an eye on the surroundings."
Taishu gave an instruction, then found a rock and sat down to make do.
Sanmazi responded with a "Yes," and everyone else, like Taishu, found a seat and sat down.
Wu Xie was never a peaceful person. If he didn't listen to the information given to him for free, he would be no different from an idiot. So when he saw a smooth, appropriately sized rough stone under a tree not far away, he naturally wanted to move it over and sit on it. But Yan Chen stopped him.
"What's wrong?
"You can sit here."
Before Wu Xie could even ask a question, Yan Chen pointed to a cleared area at his feet. He glanced meaningfully at the spot where Wu Xie had been heading and smiled kindly at the latter.
Five seconds later...
Yan Chen squinted. Hmm? His eyes were practically a clear signal! But why hadn't that silly boy, Wu Xie, realized something was wrong behind that tree? Even...
Seeing that silly boy Xie still had that same dog-like, touched face, Yan Chen gradually withdrew his previous thought that the kid was funny and amusing.
I'm truly impressed!
"Hey Xiaohuai, what about you? Where are you sitting?"
Hearing someone's innocent question, Yan Chen was speechless and didn't want to respond, but his innate qualities as a dragon allowed him to maintain a gentle smile. He decisively gave up on hinting and even forgot about the right to sit down: "I can't bend my legs, I'll just stand!"
"Oh? You're injured?"
"No, it's...born!"
