Chapter 838 Neurosis, Ants, and Dragon Vein

"Let's go, we need to get to the outpost before dark—"

Gao Dongxu put away his binoculars and said that the group continued to walk uphill.

As the sky turned a dark blue, the group finally saw some dilapidated wooden houses and barbed wire gates, with slogans written on them that read "The sacred territory of the motherland is inviolable."

This place used to be a supply station for a snow mountain outpost, but it gradually fell into disuse after the outpost was moved.

Gao Dongxu took out the key and threw it to Fugui. Fugui and Fusheng immediately went to open the door.

"You three, don't just sit there. Go inside and tidy up. Seal the windows with plastic sheeting—" Gao Dongxu found a rock to sit on, took out a cigar, bit off the cap, spat it out to the side, and shouted to the three members of the Wang family next to Su Nan.

The three looked at Su Nan, who in turn glanced at Gao Dongxu, whose mocking smile and amused gaze made her extremely uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and said, "Listen to him, go help—"

With many hands make light work. Soon, the wooden huts were cleaned up, the broken windows were sealed up, and a bonfire was lit in the open space in front of the huts. Under Cha Yu-ri's command, the women began to take out cooking utensils and ingredients and start cooking.

Su Nan looked at the sizzling steak on the grill, the boiling beef in the pot, and the various canned goods... The aroma of the boiled beef made her swallow hard.

"The beer is chilled—" Ah Ning took out the Tsingtao beer that had been buried in the snow, opened a can, and handed it to Gao Dongxu.

Go Dong-wook smiled, took the beer, took a sip, and made a satisfying sound. Then he opened his mouth and ate the steak that Cha Yoo had put to his mouth with a fork.

Seeing Gao Dongxu being pampered like a cripple, Hu Bayi and his two companions, along with Su Nan and the other three, were all stunned, followed by envy and jealousy. Well, some were also seething with hatred.

"Damn it, is this some kind of vacation? This is infuriating..." Old Mai was seething with jealousy as he watched Gao Dongxu being surrounded and served by beautiful women. He glared at Gao Dongxu with venom in his eyes and muttered curses under his breath.

Su Nan's expression changed, and she was about to whisper a warning to stop her when her eyes widened and she screamed shrilly, "No—"

"biu——"

bang-

Old Mai's eyes widened in disbelief, a bullet struck his forehead, and he collapsed onto the snow.

Everyone looked at the man who was handing over the still-smoking, silenced pistol to Aning with a cold smile.

"What do you mean? Why did you kill him—" Su Nan's face turned deathly pale, her eyebrows furrowed, and she stood up with the other members of the Wang family who were also pale, staring intently at Gao Dongxu, who had a mocking expression, and questioned him.

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Yang Xueli also looked at Gao Dongxu with solemn expressions, fearful eyes, and tense, wary bodies.

No one expected that Gao Dongxu would suddenly take out a gun and kill someone without any warning. This is not just a matter of brutality; he's a complete lunatic.

"Hehe, he asked for it, so of course I'll grant his wish. I forgot to tell you, my hearing is extraordinary. I can hear a mosquito's buzz clearly within a hundred meters."

How dare he covet my women? He made no attempt to hide the lust in his eyes as he stared at them the whole way. Did he think I was blind? I didn't want to kill him so soon; I wanted to save some fun and slowly torment him to death.

However, he's too foul-mouthed and even dared to harbor murderous intent towards me. Since he's in such a hurry to reincarnate, of course I'll grant his wish." Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at Su Nan, eating the boiled beef that Cha Yuri had fed him.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's explanation, Hu Bayi and his two companions, along with Su Nan and his two companions, were all startled and felt a chill run down their spines. They stared wide-eyed at Gao Dongxu, who had a mocking smile on his face, and at the others who, without any surprise, continued drinking and eating as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle, let's eat, let's eat—" Wang Yueban said with a chuckle, tugging at Wang Kaixuan.

"Ah, oh, okay, let's eat—" Wang Kaixuan was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening, forced a smile, and pulled Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli to eat.

"You—" Su Nan's face turned extremely ugly, his back was covered in cold sweat, feeling like it was being pricked by thorns, and he was in excruciating pain, but he didn't dare to move at all. He was extremely nervous, his mind racing, trying to recall if he had let anything slip.

"Alright, enough of that. Come sit down and eat. Next time you recruit team members, do a proper background check. You dare to recruit a fugitive with several murders on his record? You're lucky you haven't been killed by him." Gao Dongxu said to Su Nan with a smile.

"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Su Nan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party did not know their true secret. She hurriedly pretended to be shocked and said in a trembling voice, "He, he is a wanted criminal?"

Soon, Su Nan looked at Gao Dongxu with a wry smile and said softly, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect to let a wolf into the house. Fortunately, you handled it decisively. If we had let him continue to infiltrate our team, and he were to betray us at a crucial moment, we would have been doomed..."

"Hehe, who says otherwise? Alright, now that the potential danger is over, everyone come over and eat. How about trying the boiled beef?" Gao Dongxu smiled and invited Su Nan to come forward and eat.

Su Nan glanced back at the other two members of the Wang family, gave them a meaningful look, and forced a smile onto her pale face. She walked over to the campfire where Gao Dongxu and the women were sitting and sat down, taking the chopsticks. "Try it and see if it suits your taste—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile to Su Nan.

"Hmm, thank you—" Su Nan looked at Gao Dongxu with complicated emotions. He hadn't changed at all after killing someone, as if he had just crushed an ant.

Of course, what surprised her the most was that none of the women were afraid when they saw the murder scene. They were completely unaffected, eating and drinking as usual, which was not the reaction of a normal person.

Damn it, what kind of weird team did I join?
After a hearty meal and drinks, Gao Dongxu took out cigarettes and offered them to everyone. He smoked one himself, then stood up and walked towards the back of the outpost, saying, "I'm going to relieve myself—"

Fu Gui and Er Pang immediately got up and followed to protect him.

After Gao Dongxu finished relieving himself at the outpost, he gestured to Fugui and Erpang, who immediately went to either side to see if anyone was following.

Gao Dongxu then took out three totem spirit stones and began to summon guardian spirits, first the wolf spirit, then the bear spirit, and finally the eagle spirit.

"Go play—" Gao Dongxu gave orders to the three guardian spirits with his divine sense, then smirked and patted the heads of the wolf spirit and bear spirit, which were both over two meters tall, on the back of his hand. He then put the eagle spirit on his shoulder on his arm and threw it away with force.

The eagle spirit spread its wings and flapped them vigorously, creating a strong wind that made the snowflakes dance in the air, while the wolf spirit and bear spirit also flew away into the distance.

Gao Dongxu walked back to the campfire and said with a smile, "It's getting late, everyone should get some rest."

Everyone agreed. Gao Dongxu smiled and led the seven women into the wooden house in the middle. He hung up a lantern, used a felt blanket as a curtain, and closed the door. Then, Gao Dongxu took out three Simmons mattresses from his spatial storage and took out many thick cotton quilts.

The seven women immediately began making the beds. In fact, for Cha Yu-ri, Lee Ji-young, and Goo Yeon, the cold and heat had no effect at all. However, they were unwilling to give up feeling the cold and heat, because only in this way could they maintain their humanity.

This was the first time the seven of them had slept in a dormitory with Gao Dongxu. Although the temperature was a bit low, it didn't stop Gao Dongxu from giving them lessons and providing one-on-one tutoring.

Outside, the cold wind howled, but inside, it was bustling with activity.

After all, it was a long-abandoned outpost, and the soundproofing of the wooden house was practically non-existent. Although Gao Dongxu had tried to control the volume of the class, Su Nan and the others could still hear it very clearly.

With no other option, everyone put on headphones and listened to music to ward off the ear-piercing noise.

The next morning, the snow was still falling and the temperature dropped sharply. As southerners, Wu Xie and Tingfeng found it difficult to adapt to the weather and were a bit stiff from the cold.

It wasn't until they lit a fire, cooked a meal, and drank a bowl of hot soup that the two of them recovered.

After breakfast and packing their things, the group stopped riding horses and instead harnessed them to snow sleds. In the Changbai Mountains, snow sleds are actually the most convenient mode of transportation. Except in blizzard weather, horses can generally use snow sleds to reach any place that horses can go.

After crossing the snow line, they finally saw snow, initially sparse. The higher they went, the thicker the snow became, with fewer trees and more rocks. After inspecting the area, Hu Bayi indicated that there were signs of construction work.

By noon, everything around them was white, and the snow on the ground was so thick that there was no way to walk. Su Nan and two members of the Wang family led the way with their horses.

Finally, we reached the ridge of a low hill. From there, we could see the primeval forest we had traversed on the way up.

Gao Dongxu, along with Wu Xie, Wang Yueban, Hei Xiazi, Hu Bayi, and Su Nan who had come to join in the fun, stood at the highest point and looked out into the distance.

Based on his self-taught knowledge of geomancy and feng shui, Gao Dongxu observed and verified the situation. Finally, he pointed to a large depression and said to everyone, "In ancient times, tombs were usually built using local materials. You can see that large forest is obviously sparser than the one next to it. It must have been cut down a hundred years ago. Although we have had a difficult journey up here, we haven't encountered any particularly difficult obstacles. There must have been a large-scale ancient project in this area. The mountains in this area have been repaired. This means that we are on the right track and we need to continue upwards."

Wang Yue frowned and looked into the distance, asking, "Young Master Gao, this mountain range has more than a dozen peaks, and we all start from here. How are we supposed to find it?"

Gao Dongxu looked around and said, "The map is from more than 500 years ago, so we can't trust it completely. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the terrain must have changed. Let's walk around and take a look. There must be something unusual where the dragon's head is. The place where the earth vein stops is the dragon's lair. There are many mountains here, but there is only one earth vein. We are following the earth vein now, so we are not afraid of not finding the Three Sacred Mountains. It will just take a little time at most."

After saying that, Gao Dongxu looked at Hu Bayi and smiled, "Master Hu, show us your skills. Finding the dragon's lair and pinpointing the acupoint is the specialty of your tomb raiders."

Hu Bayi smiled modestly and said, "Young Master Gao, what you said before was right. Following the earth's veins is sure to be correct."

"Alright, I know my own level. Compared to your Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Technique, it's like the difference between a primary school student and an expert scholar," Gao Dongxu laughed.

At this moment, Su Nan's beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity as she listened to their conversation, especially regarding Hu Bayi, whom Gao Dongxu greatly admired.
