Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 186 The First Meeting of the Four Pitfalls of Shrouding the Sky
"I think something's very wrong with the old site of Yaochi! We've dug all the way here, and we haven't found a single thing!" Duan De grumbled, clearly dissatisfied.

He lingered here for too long in pursuit of his so-called gains, even ignoring the threat posed by the other two creatures.

Even so, he gained nothing, even after exploring the underground.

Wu Liang was also scratching his head, finding it unbelievable. Had everything in the vast Yaochi ancient land been taken away?
The two stayed underground for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and broke out of the ground.

The ancient site of Yaochi has been sealed for so long, and although the array patterns in many places are damaged, they can still exert some of their effects.

For example, in the area where Duan De and Wu Liang were located, although they were only three zhang (approximately 10 meters) underground, they still could not detect the situation above ground.

So, when they pushed aside the soil and climbed out, they happened to see two dark hooves.

Looking up, I saw a black dog, about the size of a calf, with its head down, its face filled with shock, its mouth agape in fear.

Duan De's body also froze, and his breathing even paused briefly.

The next moment, both the man and the dog simultaneously let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"Woof woof woof! There's a ghost!"

"Woof woof woof! There's a dog!"

A person and a dog barked at the same time, and started running around aimlessly while barking.

For a moment, there was a feeling of chaos and confusion.

Ye Fan also awoke from his meditation, and his first instinct was to run away.

Before fleeing, he took a closer look and then immediately stopped.

"A despicable Taoist priest?" Ye Fan stood there, stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the appearance of another figure confirmed the other party's identity.

He was a tall, thin, bald man!

Ye Fan doesn't know many people in this world, and even fewer people who would make him grit his teeth just by mentioning them. As for the tall, thin, fat, and short ones, there's practically no one else like them!

"Shameless Taoist priest! Unscrupulous monk!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth.

One reason is that these two guys once tricked him out of several summoning weapons!

On the other hand, he once drank the bathwater of a wicked Taoist priest in the sacred mountain of the desolate forbidden land!
Another aspect is that he was once tricked by an unscrupulous Taoist priest and forced to enter the demon race to become an experimental subject!
On the other hand, the unscrupulous Taoist priest and the unethical monk attacked the Ji family, which inadvertently made him take the blame!

and also……

Of course, the fact that the unscrupulous Taoist priest and the unethical monk had pretended to be ghosts and scared him a couple of days ago also made Ye Fan very angry.

Now that he finally knew the other party's identity, Ye Fan didn't hold back!
"Black Emperor, attack! Bite them boldly! They're either gods or ghosts, or just two tomb raiders!" Ye Fan cursed as he spoke.

Thinking back on all the times Duan De had tricked him, he felt an urge to rush up and kick him.

Upon hearing that the fat man was a tomb raider, Black Emperor paused for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Ye Fan and angrily charged over!
It had already said that it wasn't a black dog, yet this guy still dared to order it around so casually!

Therefore, Black Emperor temporarily abandoned the two petty thieves and went after Ye Fan.

"Go find those two! Why are you looking for me?!" Ye Fan stomped his foot in anger after being unexpectedly bitten.

On the other side, Duan De also realized what was happening.

"It's you, kid! No wonder you looked so familiar when I caught a glimpse of you!" Duan De said, grinning angrily. Back then, he had only seen two figures at the cliff edge before fleeing in terror, without really looking closely. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been living in fear and hiding everywhere these past few days.

Unable to bear the bites any longer, Ye Fan charged forward and "self-destructed," forcibly dragging Duan De and Wu Liang into the battlefield as well, launching indiscriminate attacks.

For a time, the sounds of barking dogs and cursing people filled the air, accompanied by a chaotic scene of chickens flying and dogs barking.

After a long while, they finally separated, panting heavily.

Duan De grumbled as he straightened his disheveled clothes. Several footprints were imprinted on his Taoist robe, and there was a tooth mark on his wrist that was almost deep enough to expose the bone.

Wu Liang was in an even worse state; his monk's robe was torn and he had been stepped on several times. But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that there were two rows of clearly visible teeth marks on his bald head.

"Amitabha! Where did this damn black dog come from, biting at my head!" Wu Liang grimaced in pain and couldn't help but curse.

Ye Fan was in a similar situation.

Of the three people and one dog, only the dog seemed the most composed.

At this moment, it held its tail high, its head held high, looking proud.

Faced with the three men's resentful gazes, it even grinned, revealing its snow-white teeth and displaying a confident smile.

"My God! This damned dog seems to be mocking us!" Duan De was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

If he hadn't been thinking he couldn't win, he would have charged in again!
Of the three, Ye Fan was the most composed.

He knew that the Black Emperor was extraordinary; even he, with his Ancient Sacred Body, couldn't harm him, let alone the two tomb raiders.

So during the chaotic battle, he never thought about fighting the Black Emperor; instead, he kept his eyes on the immoral Taoist priest.

"What are you two doing here?" Ye Fan asked, looking at Duan De and Wu Liang.

These two guys already have a terrible reputation in Dongfang Nanyu. They are notorious tomb raiders, hunted down by ancient families and holy lands. Now they've run off to the Northern Region. He has no idea what they're up to.

"Two tomb raiders? They've run all the way to the Northern Region? And they just happened to appear in the old site of Yaochi? Do we even need to think about it? It's obvious they want to raid tombs here!" Black Emperor circled Duan De and Wu Liang twice before speaking.

“Don’t speak nonsense, benefactor! We are upright scholars, and everything we do is to explore forgotten history! It’s just that others don’t believe us.” Wu Liang put his hands together and spoke calmly.

Seeing his sworn brother like this, Duan De couldn't help but sigh, "He's truly a role model for us all. He was bitten by a black dog for half a day, but he can still speak up with confidence. I still have a lot to learn from him!"

"Heh!" Black Emperor sneered upon hearing this.

However, he is now more curious about another question.

"How did you know the location of the old Yaochi site and get here?" the Black Emperor asked.

The sacred site of Yaochi has been relocated for hundreds of thousands of years. Apart from Yaochi, no other place has recorded or passed down that history.

Even within the Yaochi Holy Land itself, there are probably very few people who know where the Yaochi Holy Land used to be. So how could these two tomb raiders possibly know the location of the old Yaochi site?
"You are questioning the professionalism of the two greatest scholars in the entire Eastern Wilderness!"

Faced with the Black Emperor's questioning, Duan De displayed sufficient anger to express his dissatisfaction.

“He is indeed quite professional,” Ye Fan interjected. Knowing the Black Emperor’s personality, he deliberately stirred things up. “After all, this man has entered the Demon Emperor’s Tomb and gained many opportunities. He has also ventured deep into the sacred mountains and springs of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, bathed there, and entered the cemeteries of various ancient families and sacred lands to explore history…”

Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, he saw the Black Emperor's eyes grow brighter and brighter, and when he looked at Duan De, he was practically drooling.
