Could the Zhou Family Have Entered the War God's Tomb?

The leader of the Black Shark Gang shook his head and said:

"Why go to the county government office? Why don't you go to the county government office? I'll stay here and look at the things; I'm really itching to go."

Tell me, who invented food delivery? They're practically a genius!

If the food sold on this delivery platform is really as good as described on the menu, that would be absolutely amazing!

The Jiang Lineage patriarch said helplessly:

"Old Hei, I think you're still very naive. Don't you often leave the island? You don't know how dangerous the outside world is."

Let me tell you, everyone outside is a scammer.

Do you think such a dishonest merchant would sell you good stuff?

I bet you, that armor and that sword are all scrap metal.

Jiang Ce nodded and said, "Right, how could there be such super good weapons in a place like the border? If there were, wouldn't they all be looted?"

The Black Shark Gang leader's underling nodded and said, "Boss, why don't we just forget about it? I also think this is pretty unreliable."

The Black Shark Gang leader glared at him and said, "What's wrong with me just looking? I'm not going to buy it right now."

The Black Shark Gang was indeed robbed of everything, but fortunately, the Black Shark Gang leader had a box of gold hidden underground, which he brought out this time as well.

Soon the steward entered, carrying a suit of armor and a long sword.

The Black Shark Gang leader's eyes widened when he saw the armor and longsword:

"This armor is so beautiful, isn't this the armor of my dreams?"

I want to buy it, and this knife too! Wow! It's so cool! Can I use it to cut something?

The butler brought over some wood and said, "Please, make yourself at home."

The Black Shark Gang leader picked up the knife and gently chopped down, instantly splitting the wood in two.

He exclaimed excitedly, "What a fine knife! It's incredibly sharp! And this kind of knife only costs a little over 100 taels?"

The butler nodded and said, "This knife isn't even the best or top-of-the-line one we have here, but the top-of-the-line ones are much more expensive."

The Black Shark Gang leader quickly pulled out his money.

Jiang Ce, standing nearby, looked at the two items and said, "I want to buy them too, Dad..."

"Slap..." He got slapped across the face.

The Jiang Lineage clan chief said, "Now let's get down to business. We need to get to the county government office right away. This house is ours, and no one can take it away from us."

As they walked and looked around, one of the Jiang Lineage members said, "Why do all these houses seem so familiar? Doesn't that house look like my house?"

The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch thought for a moment and said:

"Back then, the houses on our island were built by imitating other people's houses, so it's not surprising that they were exactly the same."

But the scratches on the roof beam are really strange.

That's my house, and I guess these houses belong to you too.

Someone must have stolen our house and put it here to sell.

They soon arrived at the county government office at Yanmen Pass. The county magistrate, looking at their demands, asked, "Are you saying that the house is yours?"

The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch nodded and said:

"Yes, it is indeed ours; there is a scratch on the beam of that house."

My son carved it when he was a naughty little boy.

The magistrate nodded and said, "Then let's send someone with you to investigate now!"

Soon, several constables followed them back to the house.

I searched for ages but couldn't find the scratch at all.

The constable said impatiently, "No, where are the scratches? Are you kidding us?"

The Jiang Lineage clan chief wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "I clearly saw it yesterday! Where did the scratch go?"

The constable snorted coldly and said:

"You must have misremembered. All the houses here are newly built."

Of course, it's also possible they used wood from an old house; what's the big deal?

Don't just say the house is yours all the time.

The constables left quickly, Jiang Lineage clan chief looked at the house and said, "I always feel there's something strange about this house."

The Black Shark Gang leader, clad in armor and wielding a knife, said:

"Oh dear! Why think so much? I'm planning to go check out the War God Hall."

What if we actually find something good? It's only 20 coins, a gamble won't hurt."

The Jiang Lineage clan chief said:

"Alright, since we're already here, and we still haven't found Zhou Wanwan, let's go take a look at the War God Hall."

Let's see if we can find anything inside.

Zhou Wanwan stood not far from them and asked, "How dangerous is it inside the War God Hall right now?"

The Old Scholar Tree said:

"There is no risk in the Level One War God Hall."

The level 2 War God Hall is quite risky, featuring maze-like illusion walls, tripwire sand traps, fog-shrouded mazes, sliding stone door locks, blunt stone spike arrays, staircase mazes, blunt crossbow bolts, slowly moving green logs blocking the way, locked iron railings, and a maze of broken stones...

However, it's not that dangerous; to date, over 100,000 people have already gone inside.

But only about a dozen people were actually injured.

However, more than 100 people died, all because of infighting during the fight for the treasure.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Alright! I think we can increase the difficulty for the Jiang Lineage and the Black Shark Gang leader."

The treant from not far away ran over and said, "My darling Wanwan, guess who went into the ancient tomb today?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Zhou Family members went into the War God's Tomb?"

The tree-people nodded and said:

"Wanwan is so smart. The Zhou Family is indeed going to enter the War God's Tomb. Old Madam Zhou has landed a big deal."

The other party said that as long as she could calculate the location of the third level of the War God's Tomb, they would give her 100,000 taels of silver.

Even if they couldn't figure it out, they would still give her ten thousand taels. She's broke now, so naturally she's willing to take the risk.

The Old Scholar Tree scoffed, "A bunch of idiots. With so much money, why don't we just give it to them and take him directly to the third floor? Wouldn't that be better?"

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Let's go to the War God's Tomb now, join in the fun, and give them a boost."

The Old Scholar Tree smiled and said, "Alright."

The second level of the War God's Tomb was bustling with activity.

The Black Shark Gang leader looked at the crowd around him and said, "Ha! So many people? Do you think you can find any treasure? This place is so small, and so many people have come here. Are you even looking for treasure?"

The Jiang Lineage sighed and said, "I told you long ago, this is a scam. 20 coins? I don't think it's worth a single coin."

Everyone echoed in agreement, when suddenly someone rushed out from inside and said:

Hey! Look what I found!

A 50-year-old ginseng! Wow, I'm rich! This 50-year-old ginseng can sell for at least 30 to 50 taels at a pharmacy.

Those around him exclaimed enviously, "Congratulations! That's incredible luck!"

"I wish I had the same luck, and this ginseng is in perfect condition; it's sure to fetch a good price."

As everyone looked at the ginseng that had already been processed, they heard someone outside say, "Are you selling this ginseng? We'll buy it for 30 taels."

Outside the War God Hall, all sorts of people were waiting to collect the good stuff inside.

The ticket collector grinned and said, "Our War God Hall is willing to pay 50 taels of silver for this ginseng. Are you willing to sell it?"

"Yes, yes."

The Jiang Lineage clan chief thought he had misheard, "You can get a 50-year-old ginseng for only 50 taels of silver?"

The people around laughed.

"A 50-year-old ginseng is only worth this price; we have plenty of this kind of ginseng around here."

50 taels is already a good price.

The Jiang Lineage clan chief stared blankly as the man gleefully sold the 50-year-old ginseng.

The War God Hall exudes a very strange aura.

They initially thought the War God Hall was just a small ancient tomb, but upon entering the first level, they discovered it was a completely different world.

There was a lot of grass here, and in some places it was overgrown with weeds.

The Black Shark Gang leader said, "Why is this place so strange? How can grass grow here? Isn't there no sun here?"

Everyone knows that plants cannot grow without sunlight.
