Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 279 Qinling Sacred Tree (38)

At this time, Wu Xie stepped forward to break the silence and asked seriously: "Okay, let's stop here! Stop pretending. Tell me, who are you? Why are you following us?"

Facing Wu Xie's questioning, the fake Lao Yang snorted coldly, knowing that he could no longer conceal the truth, so he confessed: "Humph, since you have seen through me, I have nothing to say. I am not the real Lao Yang. The real Lao Yang died in the tomb a long time ago. I am just doing things for others in exchange for money. Someone hired me to follow you."

After hearing this, Wu Xie frowned tightly, his eyes revealing confusion and vigilance, and then asked: "Who hired him? What exactly does he want from us?"

Wu Xie pondered in his heart, who on earth would go to such great lengths to send someone to follow them? And what was there about them that was worth paying attention to or exploring?

"How would I know who the employer is! I just know that he is particularly interested in the blood in your body. As for other aspects, hehe, that's not something I can know." The fake Lao Yang shook his head and spread his hands helplessly and answered.

After hearing this, Wu Xie lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He really couldn't figure out what was so special about his blood that was worth studying in depth. Could it be that it had the effect of detoxification? But this was just a side effect of him eating the Kirin Scorpion!

"In any case, the most important thing right now is to find the exit as quickly as possible and leave here as soon as possible. Perhaps after we get out, we can follow the clues to find out the truth behind the matter." Xie Yuchen analyzed calmly and made suggestions.

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to move forward cautiously. Lao Yang followed behind them, holding his stomach.

After walking for a while, Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao gradually slowed down their pace and fell behind the team. Afterwards, they quietly left in tacit understanding. Because their movements were extremely slight and did not make any sound, the people in front of them did not notice anything and simply thought that they were just walking slowly.

By the time everyone noticed, Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao were nowhere to be seen.

Everyone knew that both of them were very skilled and there would be no danger here. Even if there was, no one knew who would be the unlucky one. Therefore, apart from Wu Xie mentioning it, no one else mentioned them, for fear that everyone would get lost.

The main thing is to keep an eye on Wu Xie and Lao Yang and prevent him from succeeding in his plan.

After successfully getting away from Wu Xie and his group, the two stood face to face. Ji Xiao could no longer control her excitement. She hugged his neck with a look of joy, jumped up, and clamped her legs around Zhang Qiling's waist, saying in a tender voice, "Let's go treasure hunting. Anyway, they won't be in danger for the time being."

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling held Ji Xiao steadily, kissed her, then nodded in response and walked in the opposite direction.

Ji Xiao released her spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation and guide Zhang Qiling on the route.

This time there was no need to consider other people. Just her and Zhang Qiling, they could move much faster, so they soon arrived at the warehouse where the treasures were stored.

However, most of the things inside were funerary objects, and they were bronze objects. Therefore, Ji Xiao didn't like them and didn't take them.

Probably because it had been stolen, there wasn't too much gold and silver in it, not even one-tenth of what she found in the underwater tomb last time, but it wasn't bad either. There were just a lot of bronze products. She didn't like any bronze products except for the unused small tripod and wine jar, and she had no desire to take them out.

After all, some of the smaller tripods have never been used. She only needs to control Nirvana to burn them and can continue to use them. It doesn't matter if she doesn't put them on display, the main thing is not to disgust people. It is not easy for her to take the bigger ones out to exchange for money or donate them to the national museum.

Zhang Qiling took Ji Xiao to other tombs, carefully selecting items they liked or found interesting. Meanwhile, Wu Xie and his group were struggling to move forward on the other side, encountering many bumps and bruises.

Despite having a powerful searchlight in their hands, the unknown creatures in the tomb still cause them considerable trouble.

After all, without Zhang Qiling to support them, and with the presence of a guy who wanted to make trouble from time to time, they were more likely to fall into danger.

Wu Xie and Hei Xia Zi are both extremely unlucky, one is extremely evil, so all kinds of unexpected situations happen frequently.

Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao were in a completely different mood. Ji Xiao held Zhang Qiling's arms tightly and hung on them. She gently rubbed her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Qiling, I'm so sleepy~"

Zhang Qiling listened, turned slightly sideways, and gently picked up Ji Xiao, letting her rest in his arms. He held up Ji Xiao's butt with one hand, and gently stroked her back with the other hand, whispering, "Be good, I'll hold you, go to sleep."

Ji Xiao nodded obediently to show her agreement, then leaned her head on Zhang Qiling's broad and solid shoulders, gradually falling into a daze, muttering to herself: "Hmm..." as if responding to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling carried Ji Xiao to the altar of the She tribe. Wu Xie and his group had not arrived yet, so Zhang Qiling found a suitable place on the edge of the altar and took out a recliner from the space, and also took out a thin velvet blanket from the space.

He slowly lay down and found a comfortable position for Ji Xiao. Then he covered them both with a blanket and closed his eyes to rest.

This place posed no threat to either of them, and Zhang Qiling was carrying an enhanced version of the animal-repellent sachet (including snakes, insects, rats and ants) made by Ji Xiao.

The two didn't know how long they had been asleep, but when Ji Xiao woke up, Wu Xie and the others hadn't arrived yet. However, after they had filled their stomachs, Aning and the others were the first to arrive.

Aning was very nervous when she saw the two, so she called out excitedly: "Zhang Qiling, Ji Xiao!"

The two of them turned to look at her and Guagua at the same time. Zhang Qiling looked at her calmly and turned his head back, while Ji Xiao raised her eyebrows, glanced at the two of them with a smile, sneered twice and ignored them.

……

It was unknown how much time had passed before Wu Xie and the others finally arrived here.

When Wu Xie saw the two, he was very excited, as if he had seen his family. He quickly ran towards them and said, "Ah, brother, how come you fell before us? You don't know how unlucky we are."

The fat man also echoed: "Yes, if you follow Tian Zhen, you will see everything, both weird and unlucky."

Ji Xiao looked at the silent Black Blind behind them with ill intent and said, "You all have full buffs at this time, so you can see everything you don't normally see."

"Ah~"

"Because of the black glasses?"

"Well, a famous unlucky guy."

"I was wondering why I was even more unlucky this time than the last time in the underwater tomb. Wow."
