Chapter 577 Boss, stop joking!
The towering banyan trees droop with their python-like aerial roots, weaving a fuzzy curtain in the humid air. The rotting trunks are crawling with beetles that gleam with a metallic sheen. Vines grow wildly in the humid heat, and the ground is covered with thick layers of fallen leaves and rotting mud.

Gao Dongxu followed the iron chain of the anchor and walked forward until he came to a clearing where tree trunks had been sawed off and only stumps remained. He knew he had found the place.

"Buzzing—"

Gao Dongxu's extraordinary hearing allowed him to hear the buzzing of bees. He took out a small bottle of his own blood from his spatial storage. This was the blood that Sheng Xia had drawn for him, which was sealed in small medicine bottles for future use.

There was no other way; he was afraid of pain. He didn't want to end up like Zhang the Mute, constantly stabbing his hand with a knife to bleed.

Sometimes he would think, "Zhang Qiling stabs himself with a knife all the time, his hands must be covered in scars."

He opened the small bottle, dipped his fingers in the blood, and smeared it on both cheeks. He then closed the bottle again. It was his own precious blood; he couldn't waste it.

Parting a curtain of vines, Gao Dongxu listened to the eerie buzzing sound and saw a large tree beehive, about the size of a basketball, hanging from a tree trunk.

Seeing the rows of tree bees, each about the size of a little finger, coming and going, Gao Dongxu's eyes lit up. What a treasure!

Looking at the huge beehive, Gao Dongxu licked his lips. The honey here is not mixed with any sugar, nor are the bees fed sugar; it is entirely obtained by wild bees from nectar collected naturally.

A gift from nature, pure and pollution-free, it is not only fragrant and sweet, but its natural ingredients can also moisturize the skin and maintain youthful vitality.

Yes, I'll take it back for Shengxia, who is pregnant.

As a bandit skilled at ruthlessly plundering the land, leaving no stone unturned, he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by once he'd run into them.

He took out that small bottle of his precious blood again and walked recklessly toward the wasp nest.

Faced with the intruder, the tree bees seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and they all fled away. However, they were reluctant to leave the hive, so they had to fly around and circle back and forth, watching helplessly as Gao Dongxu came to the hive and dripped his precious blood onto it.

"Om-"

The bees inside the hive buzzed and flew out, clearing the area. Gao Dongxu chuckled, took off his tactical gloves, and stored the entire hive into his spatial storage.

At this moment, the swarm of bees flying and circling in the tree discovered that their hive was missing, and became agitated. Despite the threat of the precious blood, they actually tried to attack Gao Dongxu.

Seeing this, Gao Dongxu was startled. He immediately took off his other tactical glove, sprinkled the precious blood on his hands, rubbed his hands together, and touched his face. He didn't want his face to be swollen like a pig's head from the tree stings of bees.

Fortunately, with the abundance of precious blood, the bee swarm on the tree became completely docile, circling twice before flying away.

Watching the swarm of bees fly away from the tree, Gao Dongxu pursed his lips. He had been startled earlier, thinking that the insect-repelling effect of his precious blood had diminished.

After looting the beehive from the big tree, he began to look around and saw a high-hanging iron chain and a rusty anchor. Following the chain, he found a large tree trunk that was placed on a makeshift slide.

Gao Dongxu revealed an excited and bright smile, quickly stepped forward, reached into the tree hole, and took out a golden brick.

"Hahaha--"

Gao Dongxu smiled happily as he held the gold brick, tossed it into the air, caught it, and put it in his shirt pocket.

Looking at the tree trunk, which was about twenty meters long and took three people to encircle, he placed his hands on the trunk, and the next moment, the huge tree trunk, which was filled with eight tons of gold, disappeared on the spot.

Clap his hands, put his tactical gloves back on, and Gao Dongxu returned the way he came with a wide smile.

At this moment, JC and his group, who were on the open ground next to the Immortal, were constantly exchanging glances. However, seeing Leng Feng and Erpang with their indifferent expressions, and the twin sisters who were eating lollipops and keeping their hands on the guns at their waists, smiling and mocking them, JC finally gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

He believed that if they really resisted, this group would not hesitate to riddle them with bullets, following the orders of their leader, Jia.

"...With these two animal heads added, we will be able to hand over five bronze heads to the state this time, which will definitely be a major event in the domestic cultural relics community."

After Coco confirmed that the bronze ram's head was genuine, she was overjoyed and excitedly told Su Yan beside her.

Su Yan looked at the adorably silly Coco, drank water and laughed, "Hehe, these five animal heads won't be on display anytime soon. You know, the return of these five animal heads is no small matter. More importantly, which department should donate them to? Such a big piece of meat, everyone will be scrambling to grab it. You know what I mean."

"Huh?" Coco was taken aback for a moment, then saw Su Yan's expression that was hard to describe, and shook her head with a wry smile, "Indeed, no museum would be unmoved. Oh well, let's leave it to Mr. Jia to worry about..."

"Are you planning to go back to France after this is over?" Su Yan asked Coco with a smile.

"No..." Coco said with a bitter and guilty expression, "If you hadn't appeared in time and allowed me to atone for my sins, my teacher would have really been ruined by me. I'm going back to China to apologize to my teacher."

"This can't be entirely your fault. It's mainly because their methods were too clever. The identity and various documents they forged were genuine. It's understandable that you and Professor Guan were deceived."

Su Yan had a certain fondness for this naive and innocent female academic genius; it was a kind of mutual appreciation. After all, wasn't she herself a naive and innocent girl, completely devoured by Gao Dongxu through a combination of coaxing, deception, and intimidation?

Thinking of Gao Dongxu, who had bullied her so badly, Su Yan's heart raced again, and her pretty face flushed red. She felt like everything that had happened during this time was a dream.

He's so wicked.

"Sigh, it's okay to comfort yourself if no damage has been done, but if damage has actually been done, I think things won't be so simple." Although Coco is naive and innocent, she also knows the seriousness of the matter.

"Alright, don't think about it so much. Anyway, the result is good." Su Yan pulled herself out of her reverie and gently comforted her.

"Hmm." Coco smiled, looked at the five JC members sitting on the ground, frowned slightly, got up and walked over, looking at the five people who were looking at her with a cold expression, and finally looked directly at JC and said: "Can you tell me, besides the beast head, what else are you looking for when you're looking for the Undying?"

"Hehe, it's better that you don't know, otherwise, you would be in mortal danger. You'd better not be curious or ask any questions. Just pretend it never happened. Consider this my compensation for deceiving you. Remember that."

When JC saw Leng Feng, he ignored their conversation and immediately lowered his voice to warn Keke. He realized that Gao Dongxu and his group were a gray area that existed between the legal and illegal worlds. Even if they were from the relevant departments, they were ruthless people who had no scruples and were unscrupulous.

Eight tons of gold was enough for them to kill everyone and swallow the gold whole.

Even if you beat JC to death, he would never believe that Gao Dongxu and his men had no selfish motives and willingly handed over eight tons of gold.

Coco's expression changed slightly, a hint of fear flashing in her beautiful eyes. She frowned and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Don't ask, trust me this once. Remember, once he's back, whatever you do, don't ask him anything... He's back—"

As JC was speaking in a low voice, he saw Gao Dongxu walking out of the woods with a smile on his face. His expression changed, and he whispered his instructions again.

Coco frowned and turned around to see Gao Dongxu with a bright smile. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and looked at Gao Dongxu, saying, "I just asked him what else he was looking for besides the beast head. He told me it was better not to know, otherwise, my life would be in danger. When you come back, it's best not to be curious or ask any questions. Just pretend it never happened..."

"puff--"

Upon hearing that Coco had betrayed him, JC nearly coughed up blood. He looked at Gao Dongxu, who was grinning at him, with a wry smile and said helplessly, "Can you let us go? We swear to keep our mouths shut. Once we get back, I'll immediately retire from the underworld."

“We swear to keep our mouths shut—” the three members of the JC team immediately swore as well.

The others watched Gao Dongxu and JC's group with curiosity. Although they didn't know what riddles they were talking about, judging from the situation, it seemed that Gao Dongxu had found something extraordinary.

Gao Dongxu walked up to Keke with a smile. Looking at her delicate face, which was fair and smooth despite her bare face, and her innocent and adorable big eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Aren't you afraid that what he said is true?"

Coco looked at the playful, mischievous smile on Gao Dongxu's handsome face, her heart racing slightly. She bit her pale pink lips and shook her head, saying, "I don't believe you guys are bad people."

"hehe..."

"Giggle..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Dongxu, Erpang, and the others laughed. Even Leng Feng, with his baby face, showed a cute smile.

JC and his group could only manage a wry smile and cover their faces, sensing the mockery in Gao Dongxu's laughter.

As the laughter broke out, Coco's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively took a step back.

"Hehe, you still don't completely trust us..." Gao Dongxu looked at Coco, who had taken a step back, her face pale and her beautiful eyes flashing with panic, and walked forward. Despite the playful glares from Ru Qing and Su Yan, he put his arm around Coco's stiff shoulder and laughed.

“Aren’t you curious about what they’re looking for? I’ll tell you, they’re looking for gold!” Gao Dongxu deliberately whispered in Coco’s ear.

"Ah?!" Coco exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening. Then her face flushed red, and her ears turned bright red. However, she did not break free from Gao Dongxu's embrace.

"Hehe, thank you all for leading us to the two animal heads and the gold. Don't worry, I won't kill you to silence you, because there's no need. However, you said before that you were willing to retire from the martial arts world, is that true?" Gao Dongxu casually put his arm around Coco's shoulder, who was blushing and shyly lowering her head, and walked up to JC with a smile.

"Really, I'm ready to go back to my family. I've earned enough money over the years..." JC's eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a big smile.

"Hehe, it's a real pity that such a great master like you has retired from the martial world. How about this, I'll take you under my wing, and you can serve the country in the future, how about that?"

Gao Dongxu's sudden suggestion left everyone dumbfounded, and JC looked at Gao Dongxu as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hehe, you're a government employee—"

"Huh?!" JC exclaimed incredulously, swallowed hard, and said with a wry smile, "Boss, you must be joking..."
