Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 298 Arrival at Ping Mountain

"General, I think there's something wrong with that guy surnamed Guan. Otherwise, why would Chen Yulou's friend come at this time of year?"

Soon we arrived at the four corners.

The adjutant beside Luo Laowai couldn't help but whisper to him.

Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai's gaze turned cold: "Don't worry, I have my own plans. If that Chen fellow dares to play tricks, I will let him know what a warlord is. He's just a bunch of tomb raiders. He thinks he can fight me?"

Although Luo Laowai was polite to Chen Yulou and cooperated with him on the surface, deep down he only wanted to use Chen Yulou's tomb raiding skills to find the tomb and obtain treasure. In his heart, Luo Laowai never truly trusted Chen Yulou or the Xieling lineage.

Besides, who would willingly share treasure with others?

"Boss, who exactly is this Mr. Guan? We don't remember you ever having such a friend."

On the other side, Hong Gu and Hua Ma Guai also privately approached Chen Yulou to inquire about Guan Shaoqing's identity.

Chen Yulou was not surprised at all by their questions, because the two were the people who had followed him the longest. Guan Shaoqing's identity could be used to fool others by pretending to be a friend, but it was definitely impossible to fool these two.

"You really want to know?"

Chen Yulou then looked at the two of them and asked.

“If it’s convenient for our boss to talk about it, we’d naturally like to know. But if our boss is unwilling or unable to talk about it, we certainly won’t put our boss in a difficult position,” Hong Gu said.

"Hey, you've even learned to use a feigned retreat to advance with me." Chen Yulou was speechless upon hearing this. How could he not understand Hong Gu's thoughts? However, he still trusted Hong Gu and Hua Ma Guai, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "I can only tell you that Brother Guan's surname is Guan, and he is the Guan from eastern Guangdong."

Upon hearing this, Hong Gu and Hua Ma Guai's pupils contracted sharply, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Although Chen Yulou did not name names.

But hearing Chen Yulou's words, how could Hong Gu and Hua Maguai not guess Guan Shaoqing's identity?

After all, his surname is Guan, and he is the Guan from eastern Guangdong, so his identity is almost self-evident.

"Remember not to spread this around. Be careful with Luo Laowai and his men. Cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin."

Chen Yulou then offered another reminder.

"Always keep your head down, we know what's important."

Hong Gu and Hua Ma Guai nodded repeatedly.

"Boss, did that person come here because, like us, they're after the treasure inside Bottle Mountain?"

Hong Gu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hua Maguai's expression changed upon hearing this.

If that were the case, wouldn't Guan Shaoqing's objectives conflict with theirs?

Chen Yulou, knowing what the two were thinking, continued, "Don't worry, Brother Guan wouldn't be interested in the stuff in Ping Mountain. He came here mainly for the vampire king and other evil spirits in Ping Mountain. It was just a coincidence that he came with me, plus he was curious about our Unloading Ridge team going down into the tomb."

"When I went to chase that stray cat earlier, I accidentally wandered into the territory of a raccoon spirit, and there was also a zombie there."

Chen Yulou then briefly recounted to the two the previous encounters with the fox spirit, the zombie, and Guan Shaoqing.

Finally, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, Brother Guan appeared in time, otherwise your leader would have really been doomed this time. He would have been doomed before even reaching Ping Mountain. If that had happened, it would have been a great laughing stock, a failure before the mission was accomplished."

“You should also remember to show some respect to Brother Guan. Putting aside the fact that Brother Guan saved my life, just based on what Brother Guan has done, he deserves the respect of any Chinese person.”

"Don't worry, boss."

"."
-
"Greetings, Chief Commander!"

"Greetings, Commander Luo!"

"."

the next morning.

A large force composed of Chen Yulou's Xieling troops and Luo Laowai's army arrived at the hall.

"Brothers, once we get past this mountain, we'll reach Bottle Mountain. So let's not rest for long and just climb over it in one go to get to Bottle Mountain, where we can rest then."

Chen Yulou gave the order as he looked at the approaching army.

"Yes."

The large force continued its march towards Ping Mountain.

Guan Shaoqing also walked in the group with Chen Yulou. The two chatted happily along the way and felt that they got along very well.

Hua Maguai, who already knew Guan Shaoqing's identity, was secretly delighted. After all, Guan Shaoqing's status and position were beyond question. He could be considered one of the top figures in the world today, with immense power and influence. The fact that their leader could now establish a connection with Guan Shaoqing was an extremely good thing for the entire Xieling lineage.

Hong Gu looked at Guan Shaoqing with a sense of curiosity. She couldn't understand how someone in the world could be so handsome, and sometimes she would find herself staring at him in a daze. Moreover, she felt that Guan Shaoqing smelled so good that she couldn't help but move closer to smell him more. Luo Laowai, walking at the back of the group, looked at the backs of Guan Shaoqing and Chen Yulou ahead with a flickering look in his eyes.

And so the large group continued their journey, crossing mountains and valleys.

Finally, in the afternoon.

The group climbed to the top of Ping Mountain.

At this moment, a huge canyon fissure appeared in the group's sight. The canyon fissure split open from the middle of the mountaintop, with a gap of hundreds of meters on each side, and below it was a bottomless, pitch-black abyss.

"Commander Luo, fire a shot at the very bottom."

Chen Yulou then said to Luo Laowai.

boom!
Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai didn't hesitate and fired a shot towards the crevice in the canyon. The gunshot rang out from the crevice and echoed for a long time.

The echo would not seem unusual to the average person.

But Chen Yulou smiled after hearing the echo.

"Mr. Chen, what's the proper way to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou laughed and said, "If I heard correctly, there are several passages and three underground palaces below, and the largest one is right here at the very bottom."

"Brother Chen, you are truly skilled."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but express his admiration for Chen Yulou. Having watched the original drama, he knew that Chen Yulou's judgment was absolutely correct.

It has to be said that as the leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect, Chen Yulou's ability to identify tombs by sound is truly unparalleled. Even Guan Shaoqing cannot do this. Although Guan Shaoqing also judged from the echo that there should be an underground palace below, he could not accurately determine the size and number of the underground palace like Chen Yulou.

"Brother Guan, you flatter me. These are just some minor tricks, nothing to do with real skill."

Chen Yulou responded modestly, but inwardly he was quite pleased with Guan Shaoqing's praise.

"Haha, Mr. Chen's leadership skills are truly impressive, Lao Luo is impressed!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai burst into loud laughter, his expression becoming excited and impatient.

"Then Mr. Chen, please give the order. We'll go down now."

"Commander Luo, don't rush. Good things come to those who wait. Let's send a few people down to investigate the situation before making a decision."

Chen Yulou then said, and waved his hand behind him.

Instantly, all the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect sprang into action, taking out various iron chains, locks, and centipede-shaped ladders to continuously probe down into the crevice canyon.

Upon seeing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Indeed, the fact that the Unloading Ridge sect was one of the four major tomb raiding sects was well-deserved. In addition to having a large number of people, their equipment was also beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

I can only say two words.

specialized!

Luo Laowai, standing nearby, was even more amazed. He had been wondering how to get down into this bottomless mountain canyon, and that he would probably have to go around to the bottom of the mountain to find the entrance. But he never expected that Chen Yulou and his Xieling group would have such equipment and methods.

"You two, Saihuohou and Dilibo, go down and scout the situation first. If you find an underground palace, it's best to use a signal arrow. Remember to be careful when you go down. Now that the black fog is thick, there are probably many poisonous insects and monsters."

Soon the centipede-shaped ladder to heaven was completely connected.

Chen Yulou also wanted to give instructions.

"Yes, Chief."

Two figures from the Unloading Ridge group immediately stepped forward, bowed, and responded. Then, they quickly climbed down the Centipede Ladder into the crevice canyon.

"President Chen, don't two people seem too few? How about this, I'll send two more people down so they can look after each other with the two brothers from the Unloading Ridge."

Seeing this, Luo Laowai followed suit and sent two soldiers down with him.

Chen Yulou knew that Luo Laowai didn't trust his people, but he didn't say anything and went directly to Guan Shaoqing, who was standing to the side, to ask.

"Brother Guan, in your opinion, could there be some evil spirits or demons down there?"

"There should be a powerful demon hiding down there. I can already sense a strong demonic aura. Tell your men to be extra careful when you go down."

Guan Shaoqing nodded. The six-foot-tall flying centipede from the original drama was hidden below. At this moment, he could already sense the powerful demonic aura of the six-foot-tall flying centipede. Judging from its aura, it had already reached the level of a Golden Core Great Demon.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou's expression changed slightly.

Just then, three more figures emerged from the woods and bushes behind the group.

"who?"
