"Boom..."

With a thunderous explosion, the ground shook violently.

On the hillside, a man with disheveled hair held a walkie-talkie and roared, "Go take a look! My calculations this time were extremely precise. There's definitely a tomb passage there, hurry up!"

Not far from the blast site, someone immediately went to investigate, then picked up a walkie-talkie and shouted loudly, "Nothing! No tomb passage found! No tomb passage found!"

"What? You couldn't have misread it, could you?" Wang Kaixuan paused, touching his chin and smacking his lips.

"How could there not be one? My calculations were right." Wang Kaixuan muttered, then continued to gaze into the distance at Goddess Mountain, grinning as he said, "Hu Bayi, you bastard, you actually didn't come. You might have forgotten Xiao Ding, but I haven't, humph, you fickle-hearted guy!"

Ying Caihong sat quietly within the camp, waiting for Wang Kaixuan to find the tomb passage. Xiao Hen stood off to the side, watching Wang Kaixuan busy himself with rapt interest. A job like finding ancient tombs really required such a professional. However, when it came to the actual skill of locating tomb passages, Wang Kaixuan didn't even measure up to half of Hu Bayi's ability. Too bad Hu Bayi hadn't come over yet at this time.

Boom rumble...

The ground gave another violent shake, and a hill in the distance was blown open, sending up a billow of smoke and dust.

"Still haven't found it?" Yoko's expression turned cold, clearly having run out of patience.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Big Gold Tooth immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "With Master Kai here, he'll definitely find the Goddess Tomb. Don't rush, don't rush!"

Big Gold Tooth picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Master Kai, are you any good? How come you still haven't found it? This is already the ninth pit, you know! If you can't find the tomb passage soon, we're all going to turn into fierce corpses."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Hu Bayi. If this kid were here, he definitely would have found it long ago. This used to be all his job, but today it's making things difficult for your Master Kai." Wang Kaixuan looked around, checking the geographical environment of Goddess Mountain over and over again.

Xiao Hen tilted his head slightly and heard Ying Caihong say softly to Yoko, "Don't let them waste any more of my time."

"Understood, Master!" Yoko sneered, got up, and came to a stop in front of Big Gold Tooth. "We've been blowing things up for several days without even seeing a shadow of a tomb passage. Honestly, are you Mojin Xiaowei a fraud?"

"Aiyou, my dear little sister, you are wronging me to death here. This Fenjin Dingxue relies on methods; it's skilled work and takes some time. The so-called fenjin means using a luopan for positioning. This luopan has a full circle of three hundred and sixty degrees, further divided into twenty-four mountains..."

Big Gold Tooth rambled on with a whole bunch of nonsense. Not to mention Yoko and the others finding it unbearable, even Xiao Hen, who was listening out of boredom on the side, felt it was far too long-winded.

Xiao Hen walked over to Ying Caihong in a few strides. "Master, I heard that the team Wang Kaixuan belongs to is a professional tomb-robbing team, so they shouldn't be this useless. Their team should have three people in total, but now only he has come here. It looks like the one who is actually good at finding tombs should be someone else in their group."

"Mm!" Ying Caihong nodded. "Unfortunately, we don't have time to wait any longer. Today, we must find the tomb passage!"

Xiao Hen raised his head to look at Wang Kaixuan, who was scratching his head in distress on the hillside, shook his head, and walked off to the side to wait for the results.

According to the plot, we should be able to blow open the real Goddess Tomb in a bit. It's almost time, almost time. Xiao Hen's gaze locked tightly onto Goddess Mountain in the distance, specifically the terrain shaped like a woman lying on the ground.

Big Gold Tooth was still rattling on with his long-winded nonsense. Yoko finally couldn't stand his chatter anymore and punched him right in the chest. "Gold Tooth, let me see your pretty big gold teeth?"

"Hehehe..." Someone nearby clamped his gold tooth with a pair of large pliers, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted, "From now on, for every wrong pit you blast, I'll pull out one of his teeth until you find the tomb passage. If you still can't find it before dark, we'll directly breach the contract. Wang Kaixuan, figure it out yourself."

Wang Kaixuan asked anxiously, "What breach of contract clause?"

"One pit per person, jump in yourself!"

Wang Kaixuan's expression went blank, and he shouted, "Old Jin, is there really this clause in the contract?"

Big Gold Tooth stammered out an affirmative, though he still had a large iron plier clamped in his mouth.

Wang Kaixuan was so angry he almost tossed his walkie-talkie, yelling in frustration, "What kind of bullshit contract is this!"

"Don't rush, don't rush! Aren't we just looking for a tomb door?" Wang Kaixuan paced around anxiously. Suddenly, a flash of familiarity crossed his mind, recalling a scene from twenty years ago.

"Tomb passage, tomb passage... Xiao Ding..." Wang Kaixuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently in one direction. "It's there, it's definitely in that spot!"

BOOM!!!

A loud explosion made Xiao Hen's spirits perk up. He patted his backside and stood up. It looked like Wang Kaixuan had found the entrance to the tomb passage.

"Found it! Found it!"

A cheer transmitted from the walkie-talkie in Yoko's hand. Hearing this, a trace of a smile also appeared on her face as she walked over to Ying Caihong, who was sitting nearby. "Master, the tomb has been found!"

"Oh?" Ying Caihong smiled slightly, suppressing the excitement deep in her eyes. "Good, truly worthy of being professional tomb robbers. Everyone prepare yourselves, bring all your weapons, we're going down."

"Understood, Master!"

Xiao Hen arrived at the entrance of the tomb passage, squatted down, and craned his neck to look down. The pitch-black, fathomless cave passage revealed nothing at all. Ying Caihong's subordinates moved quickly, preparing various supplies. Weapons, torches, and other items were all in place, and a rope ladder was swiftly rigged at the mouth of the tomb passage.

Xiao Hen stood up, walked over to a vehicle parked nearby, and yanked open the back seat to pull out a large duffel bag. He unzipped it to reveal an assortment of weapons. To prevent accidental discharges, the bullets and firearms were stored separately. Xiao Hen quickly began assembling them, and before long, he had equipped himself with two pistols, a short submachine gun, and a dagger.

Afterward, he carried the submachine gun to the cave entrance, preparing to enter the tomb passage.

"Hahaha, I told you so! With Master Kai around, how could an ordinary Goddess Tomb not be found?" Big Gold Tooth chuckled as he began to flatter Wang Kaixuan. "A Mojin Xiaowei truly lives up to his reputation!"

After conducting an air quality test, Wang Kaixuan began to slowly climb down the rope ladder, while Ying Caihong and the others took the elevator hoist built by their subordinates. Xiao Hen, of course, rode this elevator as well.

Xiao Hen raised his head slightly. Big Gold Tooth was still standing at the cave entrance, babbling on and reluctant to go down, when Yoko gave him a hard shove. He tumbled down onto Wang Kaixuan, and if he hadn't managed to grab hold of the rope ladder just in time, he might well have been smashed to his death.

Let's do the math; at this point, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang should have already reached the grasslands, right? Xiao Hen's gaze flickered. He had a great deal of patience, and his target this time was the Flower of the Other Shore. Before seeing the Flower of the Other Shore, he wouldn't expose his intentions too much—he just needed to protect Ying Caihong well.

Heh... As long as the Flower of the Other Shore is in hand, Ying Caihong, who gives a damn whether you live or die!

What should I beg for? You know...
