Chapter 148 The Yun Family Treasure Trove is Empty

Yun Li slept in the space, and when he came out of the space the next day at dawn, he did not leave Skull Peak Mountain immediately.

Instead, she continued into the mountains; she had another task to complete: to seize the Yun family's treasure.

Yun Jiaoyue mentioned the specific location: go west from the waterfall, turn right at Tiger Rock, pass Snake Peak, and climb Turtle Back.

The treasure is hidden inside the turtle's belly, while the entrance is on its back.

Following Yun Jiaoyue's directions, Yun Li walked west for an hour and saw a rock with bared teeth and claws. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a tiger.

Without hesitation, I turned right and walked for another half hour before encountering a roadblock.

Scanning the obstacle with her mental energy, she found that the rock was five or six thousand meters long. Seeing the snake-shaped end, she knew that this was the snake that had crossed the Snake Peak.

After scanning the surroundings and confirming that no one was around, he took out a retractable metal ladder from his storage space.

This metal ladder is the longest of all the ladders she has collected; when fully extended, it is over 120 meters long.

Yun Li first pulled out all the retractable ladders from below, then lifted them up with great force, placed them on the snake peak, and climbed up.

Climbing to the top of Snake Peak and looking around, the magnificent scenery captivated her for a while before a gust of wind brought her back to her senses.

She didn't use a ladder when descending Snake Peak; she used an umbrella instead.

Lightning crackled around the open umbrella. Yun Li grabbed the handle and jumped lightly.

Controlled by lightning, the umbrella carried Yun Li lightly down Snake Peak.

Then, with a mental scan, he saw the so-called turtle.

It's huge! It's about the size of a county town.

The snake peak is no match for it at all, whether in height, length or width.

The turtle's tall head also has a touch of green, which is quite a vivid depiction.

A snake raised its head, intending to attack Yun Li, but before it could make a move, it was struck by lightning and burned to a crisp.

Yun Li didn't even glance at the charred snake that twitched a few times before it died.

He started walking towards the slightly green turtle, but as he walked, his pace gradually slowed down, and his face became filled with doubt.

The turtle, which was supposed to be full of treasure, was actually empty inside.

If I remember correctly, Yun Jiaoyue said that only the Yun family knew about this place, and that there were many traps inside.

She specifically instructed me many times that I must deactivate the mechanism before taking it.

A careful scan with mental energy revealed that the crossbow bolts inside the mechanism were still there, indicating that the mechanism had not been destroyed.

The person who took the contents knew the mechanism and how to solve it.

Could it be that someone from the Yun family leaked this information before?

or……

Does the Yun family have other relatives?

Thinking of this, she immediately took out a dagger from her spatial storage and cut her arm.

Blood sample collection for tracing.

Looking at the floating, unfallen blood droplets, Yun Li's eyes widened. Besides her, there really was another bloodline in the Yun family.

Yun Li was very happy about this discovery.

It's now basically confirmed that the items inside were taken by the Yun family, so there's no need for her to go over there.

He turned around and walked back!

As he walked, he thought to himself, "Once I leave the mountain, I'll go find that member of the Yun family. If he's doing well, I won't bother him; if he's not doing well, I'll lend him a hand..."

Suddenly, she shook her head violently. With so much treasure taken away, it was impossible for her to be unhappy.

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she started running happily, unleashing lightning as she went.

The residents at the foot of the mountain saw thunder suddenly appear under the bright sun. Someone shouted, "It's going to be a thunderstorm! Women, go home and harvest the grain! Men, hurry up and work!"

As evening fell, Yunli passed through the village after descending the mountain and saw that people in every household were looking up at the sky.

She looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there except for the blinding sun.

What exactly are they looking at?

Curious, I politely approached and asked, "Auntie, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the sound, the woman looked down and saw a child. She smiled and said, "Why isn't it raining yet?"

Yun Li looked up at the sky blankly. The sky wasn't hot and humid, and there was no sign of rain at all.

"Auntie, did you see ants moving house?"

"No."

"Then how did you know it was going to rain?"

"Wasn't it thundering in the mountains this morning? Didn't you hear it?"

Yun Li: "..."

It turns out she was the one who caused the trouble, but it all happened in the morning. Half the day has passed and it hasn't rained, so why are they still so concerned?

"Auntie, is it possible that you misheard?" Yun Li said this with a guilty conscience and an embarrassed expression.

"Did I hear that right?" The woman looked puzzled, as if she were trying to recall.

Suddenly, her eyes darted around, and as if struck by a sudden thought, she slapped her thigh. "Oh no, that might not have been thunder, but the sound of an explosion."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the mountains with lingering fear, then took off running, shouting as he ran, "Quick, go report to the police! There's been an explosion in the mountains! There must be bad people doing something terrible."

Yun Li: "..."

She wanted to explain but didn't know how, and couldn't explain it clearly unless she revealed her supernatural abilities.

Never mind, it'll be fine once the police find out that nothing happened.

Just as she was about to leave the village, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

That's the voice of my aunt from earlier.

"Village chief, the people who went out a few days ago still haven't returned. They clearly agreed that no matter what, someone must come back to explain the situation in the mountains."

But no one has come back yet. I'm worried that something might have happened to everyone, so I thought, why don't we pretend there was an explosion during the thunder and send the police into the mountains to search for them?

Yun Li hid to the side and used his mental power to see that the village chief was an old man. Hearing the aunt's suggestion, he remained silent for more than ten seconds before nodding.

"We'll do as you say."

This matter is unusual. It originally had nothing to do with Yun Li, but curiosity drove her to take a look.

She returned to the village.

Someone reported that there was an explosion in the mountains. The police did not dare to delay and quickly dispatched twelve officers.

However, since it was getting dark, they dared not venture into the mountains rashly, so they inquired among the people in the nearby villages.

"Don't be afraid, we're just here to ask you some questions."

The family, who were having dinner, were quite frightened when the police arrived. Even after hearing the reassuring words, their emotions did not calm down much.

"Officers, please ask us anything, we will tell you the truth," the elderly man in charge said fearfully.

Seeing that they still looked scared, the police officer tried to persuade them not to be afraid, but another police officer tugged at his sleeve and shook his head at him.

He then looked at the family, who were cowering and clutching their hands together, and asked, "Did you hear the explosion during the day?"

"An explosion?"

The family looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes, an explosion." The police officer pointed in a direction. "Right there."

The family tilted their heads to think back. Was there an explosion? They didn't seem to hear anything.

"Uncle Policeman, that wasn't an explosion, it was thunder."

Before the adults could speak, the family's six-year-old grandson boldly spoke up.

The adults chimed in, "Yes, yes, there was indeed thunder during the day. We were worried about a downpour, so we went home and harvested the grain early."

The two police officers exchanged a glance, stood up, and said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. You can continue eating; we won't disturb you any longer."

"Yes, yes, okay."

The old man bowed and scraped as he saw the person out, then wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched the departing figure walk away.

That's just how this era is; even if you haven't committed any crimes, you can't help but feel afraid when you see these law enforcement officers.

The police officers asked the same questions in three nearby villages.

They're all clueless when it comes to explosions, but when it comes to thunder, they only remember thunder during the day.

Some even complained that God really knows how to tease people, why did it thunder instead of rain, forcing them to harvest their dried grains early and wasting several hours of sunshine.
