Chapter 466 The Cat's Cry - A Curse
As darkness fell, the distant villages lit up with scattered lights.

Fu Gui quickened his pace in rowing the boat and soon reached the ferry. However, a group of children playing on the shore saw them and, shouting "There's a ghost!", took off running towards the village.

This left Gao Dongxu and his group both amused and exasperated. They docked at the ferry, secured the boat, and then jumped off one by one. After organizing their backpacks, they headed towards the village.

Wu Sansheng led Pan Zi a few steps quickly to ask for directions in the village, and finally found the only farmhouse restaurant in the village.

It was supposed to be a farmhouse dinner, but it was just a typical two-story house in northern China. Although it was a cement house, it had air conditioning and hot water, and the bedding looked clean enough.

The only double room was naturally reserved for Gao Dongxu and the two sisters. As soon as they entered the room, the two sisters took out double sleeping bags from their backpacks and laid them on the bed.

After taking off their clothes, the three of them squeezed into the bathroom and took a shower together, washing away the dust, sweat, and stench of death.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor for dinner.

There were no delicacies, just everyday dishes, but they tasted pretty good.

As everyone drank and chatted, Wu Sansheng once again demonstrated his social skills, chatting with the waitress and the proprietress to get information out of them.

When the proprietress and waitress heard that they had entered the village by water, they were immediately shocked. They also warned them in a cryptic tone that the village hadn't used boats for many years, and if someone was still asking them to travel by water, they were definitely there to rob and kill them, so they had to be careful.

In particular, it was mentioned that the water pool in the tomb was very eerie, and that in previous years, not a single body of the people who drowned had been recovered.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, a group of men gathered together to smoke.

The two sisters, Ruxin and Ruqing, originally wanted to use the landlady's washing machine to wash their clothes, but Wu Sansheng stopped them, saying that he wanted that smell, and that it would be safer to wear them.

After finishing their cigarettes, they went back to their rooms to rest. As Wu Xie took off his clothes, he asked Wu Sansheng, who was studying a copy of the Warring States silk manuscript, with curiosity, "Third Uncle, who exactly is that Zhang Xiaoge? His blood is too amazing."

Wu Sansheng frowned and shook his head: "I really don't know. I asked my friends in Changsha to introduce an experienced helper, and they introduced him. I only know that his surname is Zhang. Actually, I have tried to test him quite a few times before. He is either silent or in a daze. I don't know his background. However, the person who introduced him is very prestigious in this industry. I should be able to trust the person he introduced."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie felt even more that this person was mysterious. "Third Uncle, what exactly is that Young Master Gao looking for in the tomb? He's too amazing; he can even destroy female ghosts."

At this point, Wu Sansheng's expression turned serious. He made a shushing gesture and lowered his voice, saying, "He told Brother Zhang before that he wanted to find Qilin Xie. It's certain that anything that someone like him would covet must be a divine artifact. Moreover, he must already have quite a few divine artifacts. Just that bronze mirror that destroyed the female ghost is already priceless."

Wu Xie's eyes lit up, sparkling with a strange light, and he whispered, "Third Uncle, why don't we take some while we're at it?"

"Yes, take whatever you can, as long as it's not what he wants. But remember, don't be greedy. Never touch what he wants. You saw it yourself, all four of his men are carrying guns, and those twin beauties with him aren't ordinary people either. Don't get into a conflict with them, or he might really leave us underground," Wu Sansheng instructed very seriously.

"Hmm." Wu Xie said with a wry smile, "Tell me, why would someone as powerful and wealthy as him, who has everything he wants, make such a fuss?"

"Hmph, do you think he's an ordinary person? What he pursues is beyond our comprehension. Alright, enough said, go to sleep. We'll head up the mountain first thing tomorrow morning." Wu Sansheng snorted coldly, but his heart was far from calm. He had witnessed the products of the longevity experiment and knew what it was pursuing.

In fact, Wu Sansheng had been guessing ever since he met Gao Dongxu that Gao Dongxu was also pursuing immortality. After seeing Gao Dongxu use the divine artifact, he became even more certain.

Wu Xie pursed his lips, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. After a long day of travel, he fell asleep quickly. However, he didn't know how much time had passed when he dreamed of the female ghost again. He was startled awake and found that his third uncle was still awake and was standing in front of the window smoking.

At the same time, they heard a continuous, rhythmic squeaking sound. Wu Xie frowned and said, "Third Uncle, there's a mouse..."

Wu Sansheng glanced back at the sleepy-eyed Wu Xie, a strange smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he muttered, "Damn, right, one male and two females, go to sleep—"

Wu Xie was a little confused. He frowned, muttered a few words, lay back down, and closed his eyes. However, the squeaking not only didn't disappear, but grew louder and louder.
Wu Xie frowned, a little annoyed, and listened carefully. Finally, he pressed his ear against the wall. Soon, his face turned red, he opened his mouth, cursed, and then pulled the blanket over his head.

Wu Sansheng looked at Wu Xie and couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, you brat, you're not young anymore, hurry up and find a girlfriend."

"Aren't you tired? Taking two women with you when you go down into the tomb, you're really something else..." Wu Xie threw off the covers, complaining irritably, got out of bed, and lit a cigarette.

Wu Sansheng shook his head and chuckled, teasing, "He's young and strong, it's been almost forty minutes..."

"Holy crap—this is insane!" Wu Xie was so shocked he almost dropped his cigarette. He swallowed hard, staring blankly, and stammered in a trembling voice, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

One against two, forty minutes...

Damn it, how am I supposed to sleep now!
Just as Wu Xie was smoking in silence, filled with envy and jealousy, two eerie meows came from outside, startling him.

Wu Sansheng smiled and said to him, "Alright, go to sleep—"

"It's so good to be rich and powerful—" Wu Xie sighed with envy and jealousy.

"Wrong. Having money and power doesn't necessarily make you like him. You also need superhuman abilities!" Wu Sansheng said seriously. The next morning, Wu Xie, feeling like his joints were about to give way, looked at the man on the dining table, whose face was rosy, whose spirit was high, and who showed no signs of fatigue, and whose heroic demeanor was captivating. He couldn't help but think of the cat's meow from the previous night.

"What are you looking at!" Ru Qing glared at Wu Xie fiercely and scolded him. Wu Xie immediately blushed and coughed awkwardly, feeling guilty and at a loss for what to do.

"Snapped--"

Wu Sansheng smacked Wu Xie on the head in an annoyed tone and said, "Eat quickly, then we'll go up the mountain—"

Seeing Wu Xie's guilty and shy appearance, Pan Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then everyone started shrugging and laughing. Ru Xin and Ru Qing blushed and glared at everyone, their fierce words masking their inner fear as they reached out to pinch the composed Gao Dongxu.

"Cough cough. Eat up—" Gao Dongxu said hastily, his mouth agape as the two little wildcats pinched him.

Everyone then quickly buried their heads in their food and began to eat.

After breakfast, everyone shouldered their backpacks, took out their trekking poles, and began to search for the location of the ancient tomb using GPS locators.

Even though the locator showed they were very close, it wasn't until after 3 p.m. that Gao Dongxu and his group finally found Qiu Dekao's camp.

I saw a dozen or so military tents that were still almost intact. These tents were of very high quality. Although they were covered with rotting leaves, the inside was still very dry and clean. There were quite a few personal items inside the tents. I rummaged through them and found a lot of scattered equipment, but no human corpses.

They even found a generator and several cans of gasoline. The generator was wrapped in tarpaulin, but most of the parts were badly damaged. Panzi tried to start it, but there was no response at all.

“At least a week has been wasted,” Leng Feng said, frowning.

Gao Dongxu flipped through what was clearly A Ning's tent and found that all the tags had been torn off, even the tent and backpack were missing their trademarks.

"Let's start a fire, eat something, rest for a bit, and then we'll find the entrance," Gao Dongxu said to the group as he stepped out of A Ning's tent.

"Ugh, finally I can rest. I'm exhausted..." Wu Xie, who had been gritting his teeth and persevering, plopped down on the ground, pressing his backpack down and lying down, giving a wry smile like a dead fish.

Wu Sansheng, annoyed, stepped forward and kicked Wu Xie, laughing and scolding, "Get up, go help—"

Wu Xie pleaded, "Third Uncle, let me rest for a while..."

Gao Dongxu laughed and said, "Let him rest for a while. Fugui, Erpang, Fusheng, take whatever you can use and bring it all with you."

"Yes."

Leng Feng, Ru Xin, and Ru Qing had already started a fire to cook. Wu Sansheng, holding the map he had drawn after deciphering the Warring States silk scroll, came to Gao Dongxu's side and pointed to the fox-like face on the map, saying, "Young Master Gao, we should be here now..."

Gao Dongxu took the map and looked at it, then looked around. Wu Sansheng continued, "This is a place of sacrifice. Below should be the sacrificial altar, and the sacrificial offerings buried with the deceased are probably below this."

As he spoke, Wu Sansheng stomped his foot on the spot where he was standing. Then he squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, smelled it, shook his head, took a few steps, picked up another handful, and said, "It's buried too deep. We need to dig a few shovels down and check. Panzi, get the shovel—"

"Alright, coming—" Panzi shouted, immediately picked up his backpack and ran over, took out sections of threaded steel pipe from the backpack, quickly connected them, and attached the shovel head.

Wu Sansheng walked back and forth a few more times, leaving several footprints on the ground to indicate where to place the shovel.

Pan Zi first secured the shovel head, then began shoveling with a short-handled hammer. Wu Sansheng placed one hand on the steel pipe to feel the situation below. After hammering 13 sections, he suddenly shouted, "Got it!"

Then he pulled the Luoyang shovel up section by section, and with the last pull, he brought out a clump of soil. Panzi removed the shovel head and handed it to Wu Sansheng.

Upon seeing this, Wu Sansheng's face immediately turned pale. Zhang Qiling, who had been sitting in a daze, also suddenly stood up, walked forward, and looked at the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel with a solemn expression.

The soil that was brought out looked as if it had been soaked in blood, and was dripping with a liquid that looked like fresh blood.

Wu Sansheng held it to his nose, smelled it, frowned, looked at Gao Dongxu, and said in a heavy tone, "Young Master Gao, there's blood in the mud, the tomb below must be extraordinary."

Before Gao Dongxu could say anything, Wu Xie, who was covered in blood in the mud, immediately ran over. Seeing the bloody soil, he exclaimed, "A blood corpse—"

Wu Sansheng's eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. He looked helplessly at his innocent nephew and really wanted to shut him up.

"Get out of my way, you jinx!"
