Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Wu Xie quickly pledged his loyalty: "If you're going, boss, then I'll go too."

"Anyway, with the boss around, nothing will go wrong."

Hearing their conversation, Fatty Wang curiously poked his head out and asked, "Where are we going?"

"The Tomb of the King of the East Sea!"

As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, Fatty Wang nodded eagerly.

"Great, great, we have to go! Tianzhen, we're tomb raiders, staying in Hangzhou all day, we're getting moldy."

The weather in the south is humid, and Fatty Wang had long been unable to stand it, so he was thinking of finding a chance to go out and get some fresh air.

The best course of action would be to return to his old ways, go tomb raiding, and make a big splash.

Thinking of this, Fatty Wang's expression became even more lewd.

"Hehe, we'll find plenty of treasures there. I've never heard of this King of the East Sea, but he's a king or nobleman. I bet there are a lot of good stuff in his tomb."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie shook his head.

"Alright, Fatty, stop daydreaming all day. Even if there really is treasure in the tomb, we still have to follow the boss's instructions."

Fatty Wang pursed his lips, muttered a few words under his breath, then quickly turned to Li Changsheng, flatteringly saying, "Of course, I will absolutely obey all of the boss's arrangements!"

Li Changsheng didn't mind; it was good that they followed, as it would save them some trouble.

With that in mind, Li Changsheng decided not to waste any more time at Shanhaiguan and simply tossed the keys to the SUV to Wu Xie.

"You drive, let's go now!"

……

Half an hour later, the off-road vehicle drove out of Shanhaiguan and headed northeast towards Erdaobaihe.

The name Erdaobaihe actually has two meanings.

One refers to the northern foothills of Changbai Mountain, and the second refers to the river flowing from west to east!

Another meaning refers to Erdaobaihe Town at the foot of the main peak of Changbai Mountain.

The place Li Changsheng and his group were going to was Erdaobaihe Town.

In the SUV, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang sat in the front and were in charge of driving.

Li Changsheng and the Queen of Jingjue sat on the black coffin in the back row, exchanging a few words occasionally, but spending most of their time resting with their eyes closed.

During this time, the group would also stop to find a hotel to stay in and rest for the night.

Two days passed, and during his break, Fatty Wang quietly approached Wu Xie.

"Tianzhen, haven't you noticed? Miss Wuchan is acting a bit strange!"

Fatty Wang lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Wu Xie countered, "What's wrong with it?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always felt that the way she looked at people was strange, like she was looking at chickens, ducks, or geese. She didn't treat people like human beings at all."

"You're overthinking it. The boss already said that Miss Wu Chan is a friend from Xinjiang, a member of an ethnic minority. It's normal that her customs are different from ours, but that doesn't mean she has to treat people like livestock."

Fatty Wang clicked his tongue and didn't argue further, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Actually, he felt he was right.

Whether in life or in death, Queen Jingjue was never a good person.

When she ruled the Western Regions, she implemented a brutal and bloody policy, often slaughtering entire families.

Back then, the kingdoms of the Western Regions suffered terribly from oppression. Eventually, even the people of Jingjue could not bear it any longer and joined forces with outsiders to oppose the Queen of Jingjue.

You must know, the Queen of Jingjue was no ordinary king!

She possesses the power of the snake god, can summon the black snake Jingjian Agama, and has the trump card of banishing people to the imaginary space!

If they hadn't truly reached the breaking point, the kingdoms of the Western Regions wouldn't have so easily risked their lives to rebel.

Wu Xie patted Fatty on the shoulder and reassured him, "Alright, don't overthink it. Even if there's a problem, the boss is here. We don't need to worry about anything, even if the sky falls."

Hearing this, Fatty Wang felt much more at ease.

He chuckled and said, "That's true!"

Silent all night.

The next day, the group continued their journey.

The scenery outside the car window kept changing, from the snow near Shanhaiguan to the snow-covered forest now covered with heavy snow.

but……

The surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower, and minus twenty degrees Celsius is becoming commonplace!

What Wang Pangzi resented was that out of the four people, he was the only one who was freezing.

In contrast, Wu Xie, Li Changsheng, and Wu Chanjiana all acted as if nothing had happened. They were even wearing thin coats and didn't seem to feel cold at all.

"This doesn't make sense!"

Fatty Wang rubbed his hands together and muttered something under his breath.

He had put on all the clothes he could find, and was wrapped in a thick layer of clothing, but he still felt incredibly cold.

Wu Xie paused for a moment, then asked while driving, "What's unscientific?"

"It's nothing..."

Fatty Wang pursed his lips and decisively chose to remain silent!

Seeing that he was wrapped up like a rice dumpling and still couldn't stop shivering, Wu Xie said, "We're almost at Erdaobaihe. I'll buy you some warm clothing when we get to town."

A short while later, a small town appeared in the snowy forest.

Erdaobaihe Town is known as the first town at the foot of Changbai Mountain. It is also the gateway to Changbai Mountain and a major transportation route.

Although it's just a town, it's quite prosperous compared to other places in the north.

Moreover, it occupies a large area, almost the same size as a county town in the south.

The town has a population of nearly 10,000 and boasts a full range of shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and even three or four dance halls and a nightclub.

After getting off the bus, Fatty Wang went straight to a shopping mall and bought all the common winter clothing available in the area.

Only after changing into the green military overcoat commonly seen here did Fatty Wang breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm finally alive!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wu Xie.

"Naive, where are the bodyguards and living map your third uncle found for you?"

"I don't know either. Fourth Uncle told me to find a man named Cui Dahai in Erdaobaihe Town, and that he would take me to meet the person Third Uncle found."

"This is too much trouble..."

Fatty Wang complained, but seeing that Li Changsheng didn't say anything, he shut his mouth as well.

At this moment, Li Changsheng, carrying a black coffin on his back, looked with great interest at the various snack vendors hawking their wares on the street.

It is worth mentioning that most of these vendors are of Korean ethnicity and speak Korean.

Listening to their conversation, Li Changsheng smiled thoughtfully and said, "Is this Cui Dahai perhaps of Korean ethnicity?"

"Huh? Boss, how did you know?!"

"Of course, Erdaobaihe Town is a Korean ethnic autonomous region, okay..."

Before Li Changsheng could speak, Fatty Wang answered first.

He rolled his eyes and continued, "Although I've never been to Erdaobaihe, I've heard of it when I was working in the Northeast. Erdaobaihe is a distribution center for all kinds of ginseng and tiger bones..."

Erdaobaihe boasts the largest ginseng trading market in the country, as well as an underground tiger bone trading market.

Although tigers were listed as protected animals in China as early as the last century, and the hunting and trading of tigers is strictly prohibited, including tiger bones and tiger penises, the trade of these items is also strictly prohibited.

But when faced with the prospect of profit, some people will always take the risk.

However, such underground transactions are extremely secretive and generally do not accept outsiders, making them very difficult for ordinary people to access.

To join, it's usually a matter of experienced members bringing in new members.

Moreover, the tigers that are hunted are not necessarily from within the country; many are smuggled in from neighboring countries.
