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

The convoy had traveled more than 200 kilometers when it suddenly braked hard.

Li Changsheng and A Ning opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

The two looked out the car window and realized that the vehicle was on a winding mountain road.

Beyond the highway are steep, bottomless cliffs, accompanied by a thick, white mountain fog, resulting in very low visibility.

"What happened?"

Ah Ning frowned and asked the driver.

The driver was a male employee of Pansuo Geological Exploration, around thirty years old.

He turned to Ah Ning, the manager from headquarters, and explained with a slightly ingratiating tone, "There have been rocks fallen on the road ahead, and the convoy has already sent people to clear them."

Hearing this, A Ning nodded slightly.

Turning around, I saw that Li Changsheng had already opened the car door.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's get out of the car for some fresh air."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still got off the bus.

The two hadn't walked far when they saw several rocks fall from the mountain in front of the lead SUV.

Fortunately, the stone wasn't too big, and with the help of seven or eight mercenaries, they were able to move it and throw it into the valley.

Following the trail of fallen stones, Li Changsheng looked all the way up to the mountaintop.

However, the mountain was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything on the mountain.

Just then.

Suddenly someone screamed and stumbled backward.

"Miss Aning, there is! There's a head!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning glared at her subordinate.

"Shut up."

After saying this, she quickly ran to the spot where the rocks had fallen.

At that moment, seven or eight mercenaries were watching the falling rocks on the ground with bated breath.

Some people even took hunting crossbows from their cars and aimed them intently at the falling rocks on the road.

Ah Ning frowned and asked about the situation, and his subordinate quickly gave a brief account of what had happened.

It turned out that just as they were moving the fallen rocks, some of the stones on the ground suddenly started moving.

Moreover, as it turned, someone saw a ghost face on the stone.

"grimace?"

Ah Ning murmured those two words, and subconsciously glanced at Li Changsheng, who was standing motionless not far away. Seeing that Li Changsheng did not react, she then stepped forward and approached the falling rock.

Unsurprisingly, this incident alerted the people on the bus behind.

However, apart from Hei Xiazi, the others did not get off the vehicle, but remained inside to observe the situation.

Ah Ning stared intently at the fallen rocks on the road, looking left and right but unable to discern anything special about them.

But just as she was about to reprimand her subordinates and continue the cleanup, a semi-oval rock suddenly started to move.

The falling rock struck Aning squarely, heading straight for her.

The stone rose into the air, and on one side there were indeed blurry facial features, just like a human head!

"Be careful!"

Aning's subordinate exclaimed in surprise, wanting to warn her, but it was too late.

Seeing the rocks bounce off the ground and hurtle towards her, Ah Ning remained calm.

She acted swiftly and decisively, pulling a dagger from her boot, leaping into the air, and flipping 180 degrees.

At the same time, the dagger in his hand sliced ​​directly across the stone.

The stone, which should have been incredibly hard, was easily split in two, like butter hitting a hot iron!

Even more bizarrely, when the stone was split open, blood flowed continuously, and within a short time, the ground was covered in blood.

Ah Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at her subordinates, coldly issuing an order!

"Continue cleaning!"

Upon arriving at the scene, Hei Xiazi glanced at the "bloody stone" on the ground and suddenly reassured everyone, "Don't worry, this isn't a human head, it's a pumpkin."

"Pumpkin?"

Everyone looked at Black Bear, puzzled.

There are winter melons, watermelons, and pumpkins in this world, but we rarely hear of winter melons.

Black Bear smiled and explained, "The winter melon is a plant that grows underground. Because it looks like a human head and its sap is bright red, it is also called the human head melon. Winter melons usually only grow in places with strong yin energy, and where there are winter melons, many people have usually died."

"Wait, why are the plants moving?! And why are they attacking people?!"

Among A Ning's subordinates, one of the Chinese disagreed with this statement and offered a rebuttal.

Hei Xiazi didn't explain; he simply walked to the cut-open pumpkin and turned it over.

Only then did everyone notice that inside the pumpkin flesh was a scorpion that had been cut in half.

This scorpion was larger than a large bowl, its body jet black with a hint of red. Clearly, it was a venomous scorpion; a sting would likely kill it, if not kill it outright.

Seeing this, everyone understood the reason and relaxed.

Before long, all the fallen rocks on the highway were cleared away.

Aning and the others returned to the car, and the convoy continued on its way.

The only difference was that, taking advantage of what had just happened, Hei Xiazi shamelessly hitched a ride with A Ning and Li Changsheng.

He sat in the passenger seat and turned to offer his compliments.

"Miss Aning is incredibly skilled and calm under pressure. No wonder she became the supervisor of Pan Suo Geological Survey at such a young age."

However, Aning's cold attitude made Hei Xiazi feel awkward.

He didn't care and continued to look at Li Changsheng, especially glancing unintentionally at the black coffin in the third row.

Hei Xiazi pondered to himself, "Wu Sansheng said that this black coffin can subdue blood corpses, so it must have an extraordinary origin!"

Seeing this rare opportunity, he tentatively said, "Advisor Li, I see you carrying a coffin all day; it must be tiring. How about I help you carry it for a while?"

The car fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Ah Ning looked at Hei Xiazi, her eyes flashing with a hint of scrutiny.

However, to her great surprise, Li Changsheng actually agreed!

You agreed?!

"Sure, just don't regret it."

Hei Xiazi was just trying it out and didn't expect to succeed, but Li Changsheng's words left him a bit confused.

Although he didn't understand why Li Changsheng would be willing to entrust him with carrying such an important black coffin, he thought that this was a rare opportunity and quickly said, "I don't regret it. It's my blessing to be able to help Advisor Li."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning's face instantly darkened.

If she had known Li Changsheng was so easy to talk to, she wouldn't have let Hei Xiazi carry it herself. She could have found a chance to secretly open the black coffin and see what secrets were inside!

Perhaps it was because of Hei Xiazi's words that the atmosphere inside the car fell silent.

The convoy moved slowly, forced to slow down due to the dense fog. What was supposed to be a three-hour journey took a full six hours to reach its destination.

The convoy's destination was a small town at the foot of the Wushan Mountains.

The town has fewer than 300 households and relies on boat transport for a living.

The town only has one hotel, which has already been booked by Pansuo Geological Survey.

In addition, several company employees stationed at the mine also came to the town to welcome the team.

It was already evening, and the golden sunset was casting its glow over the town.

at the same time!

The moment the Hummer stopped, Hei Xiazi and A Ning inside the vehicle simultaneously turned their gazes to the black coffin in the third row!
