Although the other party deliberately concealed it, making it difficult to detect, it couldn't escape one's own eyes.

Someone came here not long ago...

Could it be that the tomb raiders' accomplices came and moved the treasure away?

Damn it! If they dare make me come all this way for nothing, I'll make the entire Liyue treasure-hunting group pay for it!

Lu Sheng quickly got up, and just to be on the safe side, he took out the Fatui mask, put it on, and strode into the mine.

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 37: Traveler Cosplays as a Skirmisher

The mine is a maze of tunnels, making it easy to get lost. Fortunately, Lu Sheng can sense the wind, so as long as he follows the wind, he won't have trouble getting out.

His biggest worry was that someone would get into the mine before him and steal the treasure.

After groping my way into the cave for a while, I heard a shivering sound not far ahead.

"Big brother...this place seems haunted...maybe we should leave..."

"Useless thing! You're supposed to be a tomb raider! If you're scared, get lost! Don't get in my way!"

"But I really saw something white float by just now..."

"Useless! So what if there's a ghost? It would be best if it were a female ghost, then I'll show her what Grandpa is all about!"

Lu Sheng followed the sound and saw a small flame in the darkness. Two people, who appeared to be members of a treasure-hunting gang, were searching for something on the stone wall of the mine, one in front of the other.

"Damn it, Li Daniu! Why did you hide the stuff so well? Now look what happened, he's got the money but no life to spend it. It's one thing for the stupid guy to be a tomb raider, but he actually went back to his old ways. Now he's kicked a hornet's nest and lost his life."

"Hey~ Life is short, so you should enjoy it while you can. If you have money, you should go find girls and drink! Don't you agree?"

......

Seeing that there was no response, the man holding the oil lamp moved the light over and saw that his henchman was pale, his lips were trembling, and his finger was pointing into a hole to the side.

"A ghost...a ghost...a ghost!"

A white flash flickered in the firelight, more like a signal than a ghost.

The man, holding the oil lamp, approached and took a look. His eyes immediately lit up with excited green light, and he exclaimed loudly, "Hey! You idiot! This isn't a ghost! It's a mark left by that bastard Li Daniu! Hahahaha! I never thought you, you coward, would have such good luck. I searched for hours and couldn't find it, but you found it!"

Upon hearing that the treasure had been found, the timid one was no longer afraid. His face turned from white to red, and he excitedly rushed forward.

A digging sound rang out, and soon after, the shovel made a crisp sound as it hit something hard.

The two of them worked together to pull a large box out of the ground.

The man, panting heavily, pointed to the large box and said to his underling, "Guess how much the stuff in here is worth?"

"It should... cost around 100,000 Mora, right?"

"No, guess again!"

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Tsk... Can't you be a little more shrewd? Guess again!"

"Half a million!"

"Hehe, at least this number!" The man held up two fingers to represent the number eight.

"Eight hundred thousand?"

"Wrong! It's eight million!"

With just one sentence, all three of them lit up.

"Holy crap! Eight million! That's enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life! Brother, open it and take a look!"

The younger brother couldn't wait to see the treasure worth eight million, but the older brother wasn't in a hurry. He chuckled and pointed to the ground next to him.

“Hey, I see signs of disturbance over there. Go take a look; there might be a second chest of treasure.”

The other person was already overwhelmed with excitement and lost the ability to think. A toad pounced over, picked up a shovel, and started digging.

Little did he know that behind him, the man he addressed as "Brother" silently picked up a shovel and slammed it down on him with deadly force.

"Brother, don't blame me. The hardest thing to control in this world is greed. You called me 'Big Brother' for so many years. I will send some money back to your mother. On the anniversary of her death, I will burn extra paper money for her. Rest in peace."

After killing the man, he knelt down in front of the treasure chest, his hands trembling as he opened it. Inside were all sorts of antiques: pearls, agate, a seven-colored glass bottle, and a statue of an emperor carved from a single piece of jade!

"I'm rich! I'm rich! Hahahaha! I'll sell all this back to Liyue, and then let's see who dares to look down on me! Hahahaha!!"

"Hehehehe..."

As he was laughing, the man suddenly heard other people laughing.

Looking up, a masked creature, whose identity was unclear—whether human or ghost—appeared out of nowhere in front of me.

Looking at the scene of brotherly affection before him, Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, "That's a bit unfair of you. The treasure was found by them, what's wrong with sharing some with your brothers?"

The tomb raider was terrified, then became fierce and drew his short knife to block in front of him.

"Who exactly are you?! Are you human or ghost? State your name!"

Lu Sheng flicked his sleeve, and his voice from behind the mask was incredibly sinister.

"Heh heh! You're not worthy to know my identity! You're not worthy to know who I am!"

"Playing tricks! I'm not afraid of ghosts at all! Damn it, take this!"

The tomb raider swung his knife and slashed, but Lu Sheng easily dodged it with a quick movement.

"Heh! Looks like you have some skill! Alright! Let's have a good fight today!"

He raised his knife again and slashed, but the other person shook the blade off with one hand and kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him flying backward.

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life! All this treasure is yours! Just spare my life!"

This kick completely woke him up, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, his arrogance turning into obsequiousness, which was laughable.

Lu Sheng calmly closed the opened treasure chest again and plopped down on it.

I was lucky. If it weren't for those two tomb raiders, I might not have found this treasure. It was truly an effortless find.

"Let me ask you, do you know Li Daniu?"

The reason Lu Sheng hasn't killed this person yet is because he overheard their conversation mentioning Li Daniu's name. Since they are both tomb raiders, perhaps he can extract some information about the Venerable One from him.

"I know them, but not really. We're both tomb raiders, so we're colleagues. We've met a few times."

"Then how do you know there's treasure here?"

"Li Daniu likes to drink and is a big mouth; he can't keep secrets. But our treasure-hunting team follows the rules: whoever digs it up keeps it, and no one else can take it. But if he accidentally dies, then it's not my fault."

"He mentioned a venerable master before, do you know him?"

"Oh, that guy, he's the one who called us together, gave us some money, and told us to go to the Dragon Tree area to find some underground palace, but we searched for a long time and still couldn't find it."

Lu Sheng was overjoyed; there was definitely hope!

He then asked, "Since that Venerable One assigned you a task, you must have a way to find him, right?"

The tomb raider nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Yes! He said if we find anything, go to Wuwangpo at the foot of Qingcezhuang Mountain. There's a pavilion there; you can find him there."

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's ears twitched slightly as he heard someone break in, and it seemed there were quite a few people making the noise.

He immediately grabbed the tomb raider and questioned him, "You brought others with you?"

The tomb raiders were also completely bewildered. "No! It was just the two of us! Really!"

As soon as he finished speaking, beams of torchlight pierced the darkness and illuminated the entire mine. The fully armed Thousand Rock Army stood in neat rows and surrounded the entire mine.

A dozen archers stood ready, drawing their bows and aiming at the two men in the mine, prepared to fire at any moment.

"Luckily, I was careful and guessed that you tomb raiders would not give up the treasure you had obtained and would definitely come to steal it away overnight. Now that you have been caught red-handed, let's see what you can say for yourselves."

Behind the Thousand Rock Army, a blue-haired woman slowly appeared, her hands on her hips. She had neat, short blue hair and wore a pure white velvet-lined shawl with long sleeves. Underneath, she wore a blue gown that matched her hair. She had a cool and aloof demeanor, and her eyes held a calm and composed air, similar to Ningguang's, as if she had everything under control.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. Wasn't this Ye Lan, the Night Empress?

I almost forgot that there was such a dangerous person in Liyue. Based on Yelan's position and job duties, she should be considered Liyue's Imperial Guard.

That's true; for these kinds of people, the lower their profile, the better.

"Thanks to Miss Yelan's reminder, the Qianyan Army was able to capture these two tomb raiders successfully."

Gan Yu arrived behind Ye Lan.

Is it really necessary to arrest a few tomb raiders and deploy a mythical beast for a whole day?

Oh, I'm a tomb raider too. Never mind then.

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly raise your hands and surrender. Don't waste time. Cooperate properly and confess your crimes. Maybe you can get out after serving more than ten years in prison. If you dare to resist, you will die."

Ye Lan keenly noticed the corpse lying on the ground, and then looked at the two people who were surrounded. Their appearances were too different, and they did not seem to be a group.

Were the two groups of tomb raiders fighting over the treasure?

They're a bunch of profit-driven lunatics.

Grave robbing wouldn't normally warrant the death penalty, but now that it involves human lives, things might not be so simple.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Lu Sheng let out a sinister laugh, and in an instant, the wind howled and sand and stones flew everywhere.

"You think you can catch me? You'll be shocked if I tell you my name! I am the sixth seat of the Fools' Enforcers, 'Scattered Soldier'! You two vile women! Get out of my way! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to turn this place into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!"

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 38: The Traveler Also Crashed

Fools! Scattered soldiers!!

Ye Lan and Gan Yu never imagined that catching a tomb raider would involve the Fools.

Moreover, he is not an ordinary member of the Fatui, but an Executive Officer who inspires fear and is the Sixth Seat!

However, Ye Lan expressed her doubts about this.

As Liyue's most special intelligence agent, she was confident that she would not miss any intelligence. She knew that the Fatui's son was taking action in Liyue, and she also knew that the Lady had secretly entered Liyue a few days ago.

But this stragglers...

God knows where he came from!

It's highly likely that he wasn't a member of the Fools at all, but just a petty thief trying to take advantage of the situation and escape.
