I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Chapter 101 Tomb

"Brother Xu!" Sikong Mou also noticed Xu Hao approaching and greeted him with a friendly expression, his hands forming a hugging gesture.

Xu Hao stepped forward to shake hands, and then together with Sikong Mou, they went to the crowd.

"This is Xu Hao, a newly recruited outer disciple. His fist technique is extremely powerful. He once killed a fourth-stage expert from the Longevity Sect with only a third-stage Body Tempering cultivation. He's truly formidable!" Sikong Mou first introduced Xu Hao, then pointed to the others and introduced them, "Brother Xu, this is Huang Jin, who recently joined our team!"

All of them had met at Zuixianlou before.

We met once.

Of course, in addition to the main force, there were also some who carried packs specifically for setting up camp.

Xu Hao nodded to each of them, and then shook hands with Huang Jin, the last one.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off!" Sikong Mou gave everyone a look and then spoke.

"Alright, under the cover of darkness, let's head to the designated location and begin exploring that suspected ancient ruin!"

The group exchanged glances and opinions.

No one objected.

Therefore, everyone lit torches and rushed towards the so-called ancient ruins.

A hundred miles outside the gate of the Five Animal Sect lies a continuous mountain range.

The path is extremely dangerous; it's like a primeval forest.

The weather in the forest is unpredictable. An ordinary person would have suffered from hypothermia long ago, but since everyone here is a martial artist who has broken through to the fourth level of body tempering, this external factor is not a problem at all.

After traveling all night, the group finally arrived at the mountain range a hundred miles away.

"Let's rest for a bit, so we won't be too tired to face any danger later!" Sikong Mou stopped and had someone bring out tents to begin setting up.

Xu Hao did not speak. He appeared calm, but he had actually already placed Sikong Mou and the others in the room.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened overnight.

Xu Hao also took out a tent from the pack on his back.

It wasn't big; it looked like a tent from a past life.

"Hey, Brother Xu, your tent is quite unusual?" Sikong Mou looked at Xu Hao's tent and immediately showed a curious expression.

It has a distinct air of wanting to study it.

"We often go into the mountains to hunt, so we just do random research!" Xu Hao chuckled, without going into further explanation.

Sikong Mou nodded and ordered, "Alright, rest for an hour. Taking advantage of the strong yang energy during the hundred-day period, let's go into the mountains to explore!"

Xu Hao crawled into his tent, then took out some dry rations from his game backpack, mixed them with hot water, and ate them little by little.

He then fell into a light sleep.

Now that his mental capacity has reached 96, even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, his energy will still be very high.

But in preparation for the possible battles to come, he took a short rest.

An hour later, Xu Hao opened his eyes.

He peered out through the gaps in the tent, a hint of curiosity creeping across his face.

Even now, Sikong Mou and his group still haven't shown their true colors.

Is this a plan to use the so-called ancient ruins or other dangers to kill oneself?

Clearly, his status as an outer disciple of the Five Animals Sect still made Sikong Mou and the others somewhat wary.

"That's fine too, it will clear me of some suspicion!" Xu Hao decided to play along and let things take their course.

He was also trying to distance himself from the situation.

"Alright, brothers, it's time to get down to business!" Sikong Mou's voice echoed outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, faint sounds came from each of the tents.

Xu Hao also took this opportunity to step out of his self-made tent.

Of course, all the items inside have already been added to the game's inventory.

Soon, everyone gathered.

Sikong Mou glanced at Xu Hao, then took out a map and began to describe the so-called ancient ruins.

"This is a clue I found in an ancient painting. We explored it before, and it depicted a monster with immense strength, something like a zombie!"

Sikong Mou explained it one by one.

He did not lie at all.

Moreover, the exploration process was extremely detailed.

This is why they are willing to travel at night and then come here to explore during the day.

"There are many passages here, each one extremely dangerous, and our intelligence indicates that every single one..."

A mechanism needs someone to press it down.

Only after all the mechanisms are activated will this ruin be fully opened.

Sikong Mou said a lot, even describing the key points.

This clearly doesn't intend to trip you up during the process, but rather to do so at the end when you encounter monsters or reap the rewards.

Xu Hao remained calm and composed.

He simply observed the colors above the heads of the people around him and checked the two red-named individuals at the Strength Realm who were following behind them.

Everything was still under his control.

"Next, we'll assign the directions for exploration!" Sikong Mou took out a map and began assigning tasks.

There are two people in each passage.

"Brother Xu, Huang Jin will go with you to explore a passage to the east. One of you will hold down the mechanism while the other guards against other dangers. What do you think?" Sikong Mou made arrangements for a while and looked at Xu Hao with a kind expression.

"I have no problem!" Xu Hao nodded.

He acted as if he thought, "You can do whatever you want."

"Alright, let's set off immediately. No matter the final outcome, let's press the mechanism together at the end to completely open this ruin!"

"Yes!" the others quickly agreed.

Xu Hao was no exception. He went straight to Huang Jin, the young man in blue, clasped his hands in a salute and said, "I'll have to trouble you, Brother Huang Jin, later!"

"Brother Xu, you're too kind. Let's look after each other!" Huang Jin said with a friendly expression. If it weren't for the scarlet color on his head that betrayed his purpose, he would have looked like a kind old man to anyone.

Appearances can be deceiving, but the colors displayed on the game panel will never lie.

"Alright, let's go!" Xu Hao took the lead, holding the map given to him by Sikong Mou, and headed straight for the location of the mountain peak to the east.

Huang Jin grinned, glanced at Sikong Mou's gesture, and then, without hesitation, took a few steps to catch up with Xu Hao.

Xu Hao and Huang Jin walked for about half an hour before arriving at the place Sikong Mou had mentioned.

Xu Hao glanced at him and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Judging from the state of this mound, it is not an ancient relic at all, but rather something similar to an ancient tomb from a previous life.

Moreover, the specifications are not low.

Judging from the marks left by the tunnel, it must have been carved out by royalty or noble families.

In short, those who can be buried here must be either rich or noble.

In addition, there were the zombies that Sikong Mou had mentioned earlier.

Xu Hao had a general understanding of the specific situation inside.

very dangerous!

"This is it. Last time we came, we didn't know the situation well and entered in the dark. We encountered a golden humanoid monster, and it took a lot of effort to subdue it!" Huang Jin explained as he saw Xu Hao looking at the entrance of the passage.

I acted as if I had absolutely no ill intentions and told the truth!
