After waiting for about half an hour, more and more swarms of bees arrived from all directions, almost covering the entire rock face.

These large wasps gathered together, making a rustling, rubbing sound.

Then, whether they were saturated with ink or controlled by it, the swarm of bees flew together to the base of a towering ancient tree and began dripping venom from its stinger.

Ah Ning looked on in surprise. Xiang, having traveled all over the country, knew a lot about wilderness survival, so he explained.

"This is called bee drowning. Normally, when bees encounter a fire, they will drown themselves in order to save their hive. But these killer bees are clearly a different species. Why they would drown themselves after smelling the ink in Guanshan's magic brush is something only Guanshan Taibao knows."

Black Bear nodded, unable to help but sigh, "The Guanshan Taibao was able to dominate the north and south back then, suppressing the other factions and making them unable to raise their heads. He truly lived up to his reputation. He had all sorts of secret techniques and even knew how to raise insects and control birds..."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but think to himself.

What Hei Xiazi said was true. Guanshan Taibao rose to power by relying on the many secret techniques of the Black Sheep King's subordinates in Coffin Gorge. These techniques included not only the feng shui secrets of the Central Plains but also the Gu and Gu arts of the southwestern border regions. At least the Gu arts that Guanshan Taibao mastered were no less than those of the King of Xian.

In particular, the Nine Deaths Shocking Mausoleum Armor of the Earth Immortal Village is the pinnacle of Gu techniques, far superior to the Gu infants of the King of Xian!

After all, the Gu infant is merely fearless, but the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor is truly immortal. Unless its entire root system within a radius of tens of miles is eradicated, even if a portion of the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor's tentacle bronze corpse is cut off, it will still grow back in a few years!

It can be said that the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor has almost no natural enemies, and its vitality is much stronger than that of the Huo Clan Undying Worm.

Even Li Changsheng didn't have a good way to eliminate the Nine Deaths Shocking Armor.

Of course, he wasn't going to force his way in; as long as he could get into the Earth Immortal Village, that was enough. He wasn't planning on completely annihilating the Nine Deaths Shocking Mausoleum Armor.

Coffin Gorge has a unique topography, surrounded by water on all sides.

The only problem with the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor is that it cannot grow in water, so its range is fixed within the Coffin Gorge and it cannot grow outside.

Besides, if it really grows outside Coffin Gorge and gets in the way of ordinary people, there's still the country!

Even the most powerful magical creatures cannot withstand a barrage of attacks and a nuclear bombardment.

Li Changsheng shook his head inwardly, and when he looked up again, he found that the venom secreted by the bees had already corroded the roots of the ancient tree.

In just a moment, the venom corroded a large hole in the ground, revealing the bluestone slab underneath!

Ah Ning stood at a distance, watching intently, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

"There's something down there!"

The rest of the people, including the foreman, were invigorated.

Only now did everyone understand the meaning of "the divine brush of the mountain, drawing a door on the ground"!

It must be said that Guanshan Taibao is indeed resourceful; he actually opened the gates of Dixian Village in this way!

The tree roots and soil were no match for the venom secreted by these strange bee swarms, and neither were the exposed bluestone slabs beneath them.

In just a moment, the bluestone slab was also corroded by the venom, revealing a large hole.

Below the large hole, a barrier with a white, silvery metallic sheen was revealed.

Ah Ning frowned, observed for a moment, and said, "This should be a barrier made of silver..."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Not surprising. There are silver mines in Coffin Gorge. There's not much else, but there's plenty of silver!"

Ah Ning was taken aback when she heard this, but then a smile appeared on her face.

She used this excuse to recruit these people in the first place.

But she wasn't exactly lying; a few years ago, the prospectors led by Zhang Wei at the Pansuo Geological Exploration Center did indeed discover a silver mine.

Bluestone slabs cannot stop the venom of bees, and neither can these silver screens.

About half an hour later, the silver barrier, which was nearly half a meter thick, was corroded by the venom, revealing a large, dark hole at the bottom.

The bees then seemed to be drained dry, and flew away erratically, never to return.

Aning and the others waited for more than an hour to make sure that no killer bees stayed before they dared to go forward to investigate.

The ancient tree had fallen, but its roots had left a large hole large enough for two people to pass through.

Aning spread her palms out and placed them above the cave entrance.

"It's windy; this isn't a sealed tomb chamber."

The airflow indicates ventilation below, so there's no need to worry about toxic gases or miasma.

However, just to be on the safe side, Aning still had her mercenaries bring over a set of professional testing equipment.

The instrument that Mike, the American, brought had a simple oscilloscope on one end and a probe connected to the other.

He carefully inserted the probe into the large hole, constantly observing the data on the oscilloscope.

After testing for more than ten minutes, Mike nodded and said, "Boss, everything down there is normal, no problem."

Ah Ning nodded, but didn't rush down.

The team set off in the morning and it's now late at night. They haven't rested for more than ten hours and are already exhausted.

She simply told everyone to disperse, go and rest, and recharge their energy so they could set off again early the next morning!

Without a word, everyone returned to their own tents.

At the bottom of the canyon, there are more than thirty tents scattered like stars.

After returning to her tent and washing up, Aning hesitated for a moment before heading towards Li Changsheng's tent.

To her surprise, Li Changsheng did not sleep inside the tent, but placed the black coffin outside the tent and sat cross-legged on top of it.

After these past few days, she has come to a slight understanding of the black coffin's effects.

This black coffin looks frightening, but it actually possesses various magical abilities.

Leaving aside the beauty and skincare benefits, just sitting on it, although chilled to the bone, can dispel fatigue, and every morning when she wakes up, she feels refreshed.

In addition, she also discovered that the black coffin was three zhang long, and there wasn't even a mosquito inside.

Even with insect repellent sprayed in the mining area, various insects, snakes, and ants were still unavoidable.

But as soon as you get close to the black coffin, you won't see a single poisonous insect, not even a mosquito!

Thinking of this, Ah Ning looked at the black coffin beneath Li Changsheng and couldn't help but speak.

"I……"

However, she had only uttered one word when Li Changsheng waved his hand.

"Come on up, I'll give you the night."

Ah Ning's eyes lit up, and she quickly jumped onto the black coffin.

Actually, she didn't have much money left over, and she still had to send money to her mother and her younger brother who was still in school, so she just wanted to sit near the black coffin for one night!

Although you won't get the beauty and skincare benefits this way, being able to avoid all kinds of poisonous insects and mosquitoes in the canyon and get a good rest is already pretty good.

Li Changsheng didn't mind and casually said, "You should know that the effects of my black coffin aren't a rip-off."

Ah Ning nodded, her face full of agreement.

"If the efficacy of this black coffin were made public, I'm afraid wealthy women all over the world would go crazy and break down your office door. The price is indeed not expensive."

After sleeping in the black coffin for just a few days, Ah Ning discovered that her skin had become smooth and fair, several small acne marks had disappeared without a trace, and even the scars from her childhood had faded considerably.

She looked three or four years younger, regaining the peak appearance of her early twenties.

These past few days, even her mercenaries have been secretly discussing how she's become younger and prettier!

Li Changsheng smiled slightly.

Although the black coffin cannot prolong life, it can slowly restore youth, allowing one to remain in their twenties until death.

Moreover, this is only the most insignificant of the many effects of the black coffin.

He used to like to sleep sitting on the black coffin, not to make it mysterious, but because the black coffin could dissolve the corpse energy and death energy of the rice dumplings inside, transforming it into spiritual energy that ordinary people could absorb.
