In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Even in the underworld, Little Nail is known as "Little Dog Master".

As for why he didn't bring the small nail, it wasn't because his daughter was reluctant to part with it, but because Su Mo didn't want to embarrass Wu Xie and his group.

Just think about it, your grandfather is known as Old Dog Wu or Dog Master, and you have a Little Dog Master by your side, he really is a dog.

How can the two teams cooperate?

What a load of rubbish!

Therefore, Su Mo left Xiao Cun Ding at Panjiayuan to guard the house, and Yingzi and Nannan took care of him.

A group of more than ten people looked at the river in front of them and the mountains in the distance.

Pan Zi said speechlessly, "Grandpa, you're not going to make us ride this dog for the next leg of the journey, are you?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid even one dog wouldn't be able to make it!"

Panzi pointed at the black dog and said.

"Hey! What are you saying!"

Guide Li Bo knew the other man was joking. Pointing to a man repairing a boat in the river with a hammer, he said, "Oh dear, for the next leg of the journey, there are no vehicles available; we'll have to take a boat..."

The man's face was frighteningly pale, completely bloodless, giving everyone goosebumps.

Wu Sansheng looked at Su Mo, "Master Su... needs to take a boat, what do you think..."

Su Mo naturally wouldn't offend Wu Sansheng, and nodded, saying, "Whatever you decide, Third Master, I'll listen to you!"

"it is good!"

Wu Sansheng immediately took out a copy of the Warring States period silk manuscript and began to examine it. After studying the surrounding terrain, he said, "That's right, it's here. There's no mistake. The tree hole is behind the mountain."

The guide's smile deepened. "Gentlemen, let's get going..."

Upon hearing this, even Su Mo, who was known for his excellent self-control, had a hint of murderous intent flash in his eyes.

Su Mo knew all too well what the guide's intentions were; he was simply to lead them to the waterway and then rob and kill them in the dark.

This reminded Su Mo of Li Chunlai in Gulan County, but Li Chunlai had met a terrible end when Su Mo killed him with a single sword strike.

Chapter 169: Wu Xie's Growth Story!

It's quite a coincidence, really. Both of them were mentors, and they even shared the same surname, Li.

"Master Su..."

Chaos, standing nearby, reminded him, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Mo shook his head. "It's nothing, let's go!"

This guy is still somewhat useful for now. If he dares to cause trouble later, I wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Anyway, in this desolate wilderness, it's perfectly normal for someone to die!

Su Mo followed the others onto the cruise ship. Wu Sansheng greeted the boatman with a smile, "Hello, brother!"

As the saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you." Wu Sansheng thought that the boatman would at least respond, but to his surprise, the boatman completely ignored him.

The boatman stood up and walked directly past Wu Sansheng.

"........."

Wu Sansheng was unusually embarrassed.

Keep in mind, his little nephew is right next to him right now!

As an elder, he felt extremely ashamed at this moment.

Worried that his companion might cause trouble, guide Li Bo quickly stepped forward, chuckled, and tried to smooth things over, "Hey, hey, don't mind him. He's the only boatman here. That's just his temper. He gets up and starts working every day, and sometimes he doesn't get up at all and doesn't work at all!"

Pan Zi, fearing he would embarrass his boss, quickly changed the subject, "This river is quite large, how come he's the only boatman here?"

"Ha ha!"

Guide Li Bo laughed and said, "This river god, you have to give him face..."

"If it were anyone else, they would definitely not have come out once they entered that cave, but he was fine on the boat!"

Then, the guide deliberately reminded them, "Hey, if you could ride mules, you could cross the mountain, but with so much stuff and so many people, we don't have enough mules for the whole village!"

Everyone understood the unspoken meaning behind the guide, Uncle Li: you have no choice but to take this waterway!

Sensing something amiss with the cave, Panzi's interest was piqued. He asked, "Old man, what's wrong? Does that cave eat people?"

The guide, Old Man Li, said with great seriousness, "Everyone says there's a snake spirit in that cave! No one who went in has ever come out except him. Everyone says he's a snake spirit in disguise!"

The guide was also spouting nonsense, determined to trick this group onto the boat.

Wu Xie pointed at the black dog on the ground and suddenly asked, "Can this dog go in too?"

Guide Li Bo was taken aback: "Well, this dog belongs to the boatman's family, so of course it's fine. But if it belonged to someone else, it would be in serious trouble!"

Wu Sansheng whistled at the black dog on the ground, then clapped his hands, "Come here!"

"Woof!"

"Woof!"

It's quite amazing, really. The black dog ran over the moment it heard Wu Sansheng's voice.

Then, Wu Sansheng chuckled, squatted down next to the black dog, sniffed it, and muttered a few words.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The black dog barked wildly.

Wu Sansheng exclaimed in surprise, "No way, is there really something unclean in the cave?"

This…

The four villains looked at each other in bewilderment. Could Wu Sansheng really talk to a dog?

Wu Xie was also surprised. "Third Uncle, what are you doing? Can you understand this dog?"

As he spoke, Wu Xie also sniffed the black dog, just like everyone else.

"what!"

A pungent, foul odor assaulted Wu Xie's nostrils, causing his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to tremble violently. He abruptly stood up, covered his nose with both hands, and exclaimed, "Why does this dog smell so pungent... Has it not had a bath in days?"

"Ha ha…"

Pan Zi chuckled unkindly, "Young Master, you want to imitate your Third Uncle? You're still a bit lacking!"

Wu Sansheng of the Nine Gates truly lives up to his name!

Su Mo secretly marveled, "Old Dog Wu is a famous dog king in the Nine Gates and even the whole country. Although Wu Sansheng is not as good as Old Dog Wu was back then, he has inherited most of Old Dog Wu's skills. No wonder even Zhang Rishan and Zhang Dafoye value Wu Sansheng so much!"

Chaos, who was standing nearby, came to Su Mo's side and whispered, "Master Su, can Wu Sansheng really talk to that black dog?"

Su Mo chuckled, then shook his head and explained in a low voice, "That black dog grew up eating human flesh. Wu Sansheng has many dogs at home and is a frequent tomb raider, going deep underground. He's seen corpses and such; you can't hide this from him..."

Chaos immediately understood. "Oh, I knew it! How could it be so strange? So that's how it is..."

Chaos admired Su Mo even more. Wu Sansheng even squatted down and sniffed the black dog. Su Mo stood still, yet he understood everything. He was simply amazing!

Su Mo added, "By observing and learning more along the way, we can see that Wu Sanxing is no match for any of the four of you in terms of physical strength, but his tomb raiding skills are far beyond what any of you four can match!"

"Yes!"

Chaos nodded repeatedly, adopting a very humble posture.

Seeing this, Su Mo stopped talking. The Seven Star Lu King's Tomb was not dangerous. The main reason was that Wu Sansheng wanted to take Wu Xie to the tomb so that Wu Xie could broaden his horizons.

Su Mo also wanted the four villains to give them some experience. The four were undoubtedly skilled, but in this underground environment, facing zombies and ghosts, skill alone wouldn't be enough.

"Old man!"

Wu Sansheng said to his guide, Li Bo, "Could you please ask him if he can set sail today? We're in a hurry!"

"Okay! I'll go ask!"

After finishing his explanation, guide Li Bo walked over to the boatman, sat down beside him, and loudly asked, "They asked you when the boat can depart; are they in a hurry?"

The boatman looked unhappy: "After I finish this pipe, there are so many of them, but so little money. They'll have to pay more!"

The boatman and the guide's conversation was very deliberate, and they spoke loudly, as if they wanted Su Mo and the others to hear it on purpose.

Wu Sansheng waved his hand and said, "Money is no problem, let's get going..."

The group went directly to the dock. Wu Sansheng whispered, "That black dog has been eating human flesh for years. I suspect that cave is a corpse cave, and so is that boatman!"

Wu Xie was shocked. "Did the boatmen also grow up eating human flesh?"

"No way!"

Wu Xie stared at everyone in shock, while everyone remained expressionless.

"..."

Wu Xie's expression froze; today's scene had shattered his understanding of the world.

Su Mo raised his head and looked at the cave in front of him, his golden eyes reflecting golden light.

After a long silence, Su Mo finally said, "Ahead is the Corpse Cave, filled with yin energy. With corpses and such strong yin energy, there must be something unclean inside!"

"I guess that's why others who went in never came out!"

Pan Zi asked in confusion, "Master Su, how do you know what's going on inside the cave while you're here?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "I am proficient in some aura observation techniques. It's just a minor skill, nothing special, but I can still detect yin energy!"

"amazing!"

Wu Sansheng said sincerely, "I've long recognized Master Su's ability to read auras. Back then, Li Jiacheng from Hong Kong personally visited Master Su's door, wanting him to choose the location of his new residence. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems it's true!"

Su Mo smiled silently, a slight upturn to his lips. It was true that Li Jiacheng had personally visited his door back then, but Li Jiacheng's ex-wife had died under rather mysterious circumstances, so he hadn't wanted to take on this matter.

However, back when Lao Hu first went to Hong Kong, he owed Li a lot of favors, so Su Mo had no choice but to agree.

Not many people know about this, since it's not exactly something to be proud of.

Wu Sansheng added, "Wherever there is a corpse pit, there must have been a massacre. This trip will not be peaceful!"
