Chapter 857 The Pain of Greed, The Desperate Gold Mine
"Did you enjoy it?"

Go Dong-wook sat on a pile of gold bricks, smoking a cigarette. He had one arm around Cha Yoo-ri, who was sitting on his lap and playing with a necklace of plump, large pearls. He chuckled and teased the crowd who had just finished their madness.

Wang Yueban, sprawled on a mountain of gold and silver treasures, her face flushed and a bitter smile on her face, looked up at Gao Dongxu and said, "It's so painful... No matter how I pack, I can't take even a fraction of this treasure with me. Just when I fill my backpack, I find something even better and more precious in front of me. And when I pack what I think is more precious, I find rare treasures I've never seen before. It's impossible to know where to begin."

"It really is too painful..." Many people echoed with wry smiles as they panted for breath.

Gao Dongxu chuckled as he watched his women return to him with excited smiles, each carrying only a few gemstones and jewelry. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Then he smiled at Fatty Wang and the others and said, "I promised you, you can pretend whatever you want, as long as you can take it with you. The so-called pain is just being too greedy."

You should know that many of the treasures here are priceless. Taking just one of them would be enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your days.

Look at this guy, he stood there the whole time without moving an inch.

The crowd shook their heads and smiled wryly, feeling no shame for their greed.

They were just ordinary people; how could they remain unmoved by so much gold and silver? They needed to stay calm and not go crazy.
As for why Zhang Qiling was able to do it, it's probably because his world is too simple.

"You'd better come and see—" Just as everyone was looking at Zhang Qiling with complicated expressions, he suddenly turned to the crowd and said.

"What?" Wu Xie wiped the cold sweat from his brow, stood up from the pile of jewels, shone his flashlight on the path, ran down the pile of jewels, and came to Zhang Qiling's side. He looked closely and was shocked. The excitement he had just felt vanished, replaced by goosebumps all over his body.

"dead--"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately dropped their backpacks filled with gold and silver jewelry and frowned as they stepped forward to examine them.

In the middle of several small mountains of gold artifacts in the corner, surrounded by countless treasures, several people were curled up, motionless. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have been dead for many years.

Without saying a word, Fatty Wang and Pan Zi took their flashlights and went forward to investigate.

Gao Dongxu led the group down into the depression in the pile of gold artifacts to see what was going on.

"...They've been dead for some years. Their skin is frozen and dehydrated, resembling orange peel. Judging from their clothes, they're from the 1980s, and they weren't clothes that ordinary people could wear."

After examining the items, Pan Zi immediately shared his analysis with everyone.

Overcoats, backpacks, watches... As Wang Pangzi and Pan Zi searched the area, they could confirm that these corpses were not ordinary people.

“Look at how they died!” Gao Dongxu said to the Ruxin and Ruqing sisters.

Ru Xin and Ru Qing immediately stepped forward to examine the bodies. After a careful inspection, Ru Xin frowned and said, "There are no signs of injury on any of them. There are no gunshot or knife wounds. Based on the movements and expressions of the six corpses when they died, they were curled up together, and it doesn't seem like they were poisoned. We can rule out the possibility of them killing each other..."

"Their expressions before they died were remarkably uniform: despair, as if they had fallen into a hopeless situation," Ru Qing said, her brows furrowed.

"They probably starved to death..."

When Wang Yueban looked up at Gao Dongxu and his group with a wry smile, she swallowed hard and said with a hint of unease, her own discovery and speculation making her feel a little uneasy.

"How do you know they starved to death?" Wu Xie was also shocked and hurriedly went forward to check, pressing Fatty Wang for answers.

"Food and water... None of them had any food or water on them or in their backpacks. If it were an accidental death, there would definitely be food in their backpacks, but now there isn't a single drop. This means they ate all their food and water and then sat here in despair, starving to death..."

Wang Pangzi suddenly thought of Gao Dongxu's storage capacity and realized that they were not short of supplies at all. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gao Dongxu, and voiced his guess.

"A healthy, normal person can survive for a month without food or even starve to death, provided they have water..."

Ru Xin frowned as she examined the only remaining female corpse, explaining, "If they had wanted to get out, they could never have starved to death even without food. The fact that these people starved to death here means there's only one possibility: they couldn't leave, which is why they looked so desperate..."

Upon hearing this guess, everyone was startled and instinctively turned around, flashlights in hand, to shine them on the entrance they had come from.

The gate was still there, and the entrance to the cave was still there... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions quickly turned serious again. Looking at the sea of ​​gold and silver treasures, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Could this be a death trap deliberately prepared by Wang Zanghai?

"Don't worry, I brought enough food and water, enough for us to stay here for a year or two." Gao Dongxu naturally knew what was going on, but he didn't reveal the answer. Instead, he reassured everyone.

"call--"

"That's good, that's good..." "It's still safer to go tomb raiding with Young Master Gao..."

Gao Dongxu's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone, and Wang Yueban and Pan Zi flattered him relentlessly.

"What can trap people to death is nothing more than a maze with illusions. When we went down into a tomb, we encountered a maze that trapped people. No matter which way we went, we would always end up back where we started... It can be solved as long as we spend time." Looking at the six corpses that were probably starved to death, Hu Bayi immediately thought of the Suspended Soul Staircase in the Dragon Ridge Maze.

"Old Hu, you mean the Suspended Soul Staircase?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up.

"Hmm." Hu Bayi nodded solemnly, then looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "Young Master Gao, if I'm not mistaken, we've fallen into Wang Zanghai's trap. These gold and silver treasures have attracted all our attention. When we touch them, the trap may be activated."

If I'm not mistaken, if we go out now, no matter which way we go, we'll eventually come back here.

I think that's why these six people were in despair.

"Clap clap-"

"Brilliant analysis and deduction." Gao Dongxu clapped his hands, looking at Hu Bayi with great appreciation. "As for whether your guess is right or wrong, we'll find out soon enough—"

"Wu Xie, you guys take these backpacks and go out for a walk—" Gao Dongxu said to Wu Xie, Erpang, Fugui, Panzi, Wang Pangzi, and Wang Kaixuan, after taking out six backpacks filled with food and water from his spatial storage.

"This backpack contains explosives. If you don't come back, or can't come back, then you'll have to figure out a way to blast open a passage so we can meet up at the Nine Dragons Carrying the Corpse Coffin of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves."

"Okay—" Without hesitation, the six people immediately picked up their backpacks and put them on. They walked together to the gate and watched the six people go out.

“I’ll go with them,” Zhang Qiling said to Gao Dongxu at the end.

“Okay—” Gao Dongxu knew that Zhang Qiling was worried about Wu Xie’s safety, so he did not refuse.

After all, Wu Xie hasn't consumed Qilin's Elixir yet. Although he grew up eating various precious medicines, without Qilin's Elixir, it would be extremely difficult to unleash his body's potential.

After Wu Xie and his group left, Gao Dongxu took out more than twenty emergency lights from his spatial storage and instructed everyone to turn them on.

Soon the treasure hall was brightly lit, and the piles of gold and silver jewels became even more dazzling.

Gao Dongxu walked to a small mountain of gold ingots, looked at the crowd and smiled, "It seems no one is interested in these gold ingots, so I'll put them away for now—"

After saying that, he placed his hands on the mountain of gold cakes and began to collect them. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the small mountain of gold cakes shrank and disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Although I already knew that Gao Dongxu possessed this amazing skill, I was still amazed every time I saw it.

"Da da da--"

"Damn it. He really came back. Wang Zanghai is such a cunning old fox..."

Just then, the sound of running footsteps and Wang Yueban's furious curses came from outside the door.

The next moment, everyone saw Wu Xie and Wang Yueban, along with a few others, enter the room with wry smiles on their faces.

“Uncle Hu, you guessed right. We deliberately took several detours through the tomb passages, but it was no use. We ended up back here.” Wang Yueban plopped down on a broken sealing stone and said to Hu Bayi.

“Then that’s it. You guys take a rest. I’ll go with you again this time. Let’s travel light and see what tricks Wang Zanghai is up to.” Hu Bayi also became very interested and competitive.

Gao Dongxu naturally wouldn't stop them; let them play if they want. He just needed to put away all the gold and silver jewelry and the branches of the bronze tree that had pulled everyone, including himself, as well as the three spirits, Cha Yu-ri, Lee Ji-young, and Goo Yeon, into the illusion, and the illusion would break on its own.

"Aren't you worried at all?" At this moment, Su Nan came to Gao Dongxu, who was leisurely holding a cigar in one hand and frantically buying gold and silver jewelry with the other, and asked with a slight frown.

With a cigar in his mouth, Gao Dongxu pulled Su Nan into his arms, and they lay back on the slope of the gold and silver jewelry store. Looking into each other's eyes, he smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Can't we get out?"

Holding her like that by Gao Dongxu, Su Nan blushed slightly and squirmed a few times, saying coquettishly, "What kind of time is this to be so shameless..."

"Fool, don't worry, if I want to leave, no one can stop me. Not even Wang Zanghai, not even Liu Bowen can stop me—" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled, then reached out and took the cigar away, stretched his head and kissed Su Nan's red lips, enjoying the beauty's fragrance.

The other girls rolled their eyes when they saw Gao Dongxu and Su Nan kissing again, but they also knew Gao Dongxu's character; newcomers always get bullied more.
